Chapter 42 Reunion 3
◎ Spicy balls! I'm dirty! ◎
Xiaobai's cry was miserable and resentful. Even though Yan Yue didn't understand animal language, he could feel its full resentment.
She hurriedly put the newly sewn clothes on it, kissed and hugged it to coax it: "Little Bai, dear, you can't be seen when you put on the clothes! I promise that no one will know, don't worry!"
The little clothes were made according to his measurements while he was unconscious. They fit him perfectly and were filled with a layer of cotton, making them soft and comfortable.
Bai Chen's ruffled hair was quickly smoothed out, but then he heard her say seriously: "You fell into the water yesterday and caught a cold. Besides, the weather has changed now, so it's normal to lose hair due to the change of seasons." ? ? ?
Bai Chen: This stinky woman doesn't tell the truth at all! If I hadn't lived for thousands of years, I would have believed her lies!
Yan Yue held him in her arms and said, "I also have a big black dog. It will also shed its hair when the seasons change. When next spring comes, you will become a beautiful puppy again!"
Bai Chen got nervous when he heard the word "dog". He opened his mouth to bite, but then he heard a voice above his head saying, "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten since yesterday. I'm warming up the rice in the pot for you. I'll feed you right away!"
Bai Chen retracted his bared teeth in anger and thought to himself: I’ll bite you to death after I’m full!
Seeing a basin of unknown object in front of him, Bai Chen limped back two steps: What the hell is this? How can I swallow this? !
Yan Yue held him and placed him next to the rice bowl, coaxing him patiently: "Eat quickly! This is a soup made from deer bones and cornmeal, which is just right for nourishing you. You are injured, you must eat well so that you can get better quickly!"
Bai Chen tilted his head, refusing to eat this veritable "dog food".
A corner of the door curtain was pushed open, and a black dog squeezed into the room. Yan Yue stroked the black dog's head with a smile and said to the black dog, "Dahei, you came to see little brother Xiaobai? I knew you were the best!"
Be good! Bai Chen clearly saw the black dog's eyes stopped on his "dog food"!
After all this ordeal, he was really hungry and thirsty, and his stomach had been rumbling for a long time. He didn't care about his dignity at the moment. Before the black dog rushed over to grab the food, he buried his face in the food bowl and finished eating with a grunt.
The taste is not good at all, but fortunately it is made from meat and bone soup, so it has some flavor and can fill me up!
Wait until he recovers his demonic power, leave here first, and then kill him after he regains his human form! At that time, did anyone know that this "little white dog" was the famous White Wolf Demon King of the demon clan?
Seeing that he had eaten cleanly, Yan Yue quickly poured him another cup of warm water, then took the food bowl to wash it.
Bai Chen drank two sips of water. Seeing that Dahei was staring at him, he turned around in dissatisfaction and faced it with his butt.
Unexpectedly, Dahei actually moved forward and patted him with his paw, right on the bald spot on his back! Bai Chen was furious and cursed, "What are you doing, you bastard? Are you trying to provoke me? Believe it or not, I will slap you to death with one claw!"
Yan Yue was washing the basin and admonished, "Dahei, your little brother just came to our house and is still scared! Don't be in a hurry to play with him!"
Dahei obviously didn't understand what Yan Yue said, nor did he understand the meaning of Bai Chen's shouting. On the contrary, because of the sound Bai Chen made, it became even more excited and even nudged him with its head!
At this moment, Bai Chen was not even as tall as Dahei's legs, and he had a lame leg. When Dahei pushed and rubbed against him, the little guy was knocked over!
Bai Chen's injured leg was pressed down by the rolling, and he was sweating coldly from the pain. But it seemed that the black dog didn't realize it for a long time and was still interested in rubbing against him again! His eyes rolled and he screamed out in agony.
Sure enough, Yan Yue quickly put down the food bowl he had just cleaned, wiped his hands hastily, and hugged Bai Chen, who was lying on the ground and screaming, and coaxed him repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, brother is playing with you! Don't be afraid, little Bai."
Bai Chen was just about to show his dissatisfaction by baring his teeth, but Yan Yue kissed him on the forehead again, which made him stop baring his teeth.
Yan Yue touched Dahei's head again, "Dad, my little brother is injured and can't play with you now. Let's wait until his leg is healed before playing, okay?"
As she spoke, she led Dahei into the back room.
There were double layers of black cloth curtains inside and outside, so thick that not a single light could penetrate. Bai Chen was just wondering whose room was so dark when he discovered that there was only a bed, a table, and two chairs in the room. Apart from that, there were tablets and an incense burner!
How can this be a place where living people live?
Then Yan Yue said, "Yes, Dahei wants to play with Xiaobai!"
Bai Chen turned his head in confusion, and found a ball of mist that looked like a human figure in the dim light! And Yan Yue was talking to the mist!
"Xiaobai just got here, he's probably still scared! He'll be fine after a while."
"Yes, it will be a companion for him. When Xiaobai's legs are healed, let them run around in the yard! We should stop calling these two, black and white, Big Black and Little White. We should just call them Black Impermanence and White Impermanence!"
She seemed to be talking to herself, but it was obvious that there was a back and forth of conversation, questions and answers.
Afterwards, Dahei lay down in the nest beside the bed, Yan Yue lit more incense in the incense burner, and then left.
Bai Chen was shocked. Who was she? Why can we talk to ghosts?
*
Yan Yue didn't go to the teahouse all day.
Although Nan Qing said that Xiaobai's leg was not injured, it cried so miserably during the day that Yan Yue was still worried and took Xiaobai to see a doctor.
The doctor was a little angry at first and said that he only treated humans, not animals. When he saw the silver ingot presented by Yan Yue, he immediately changed his tone, saying that all beings are equal and praising her for her kindness.
After the doctor checked and confirmed that no bones were injured, he re-bandaged the wound. After all, he is a doctor. Although he has not treated many animals, his appearance is much better than Yan Yuebao's.
The doctor wanted to prescribe some more medicine. Yan Yue asked hesitantly, "What if it doesn't drink it?"
The doctor paused and said with a mysterious look on his face: "Then we can only use the secret medicine passed down from my family!"
So Bai Chen watched Yan Yue being tricked by the doctor into paying another silver ingot and taking a few pills away. He rolled his eyes and thought: Still so stupid!
In the evening, Yan Yue cooked dinner, and then in front of Bai Chen, she discussed with the two ghosts how to trick him into taking the medicine.
Soon, they hid the pills in meat porridge and stuffed them between pieces of meat. They tried several methods but failed.
Bai Chen turned his head proudly and thought to himself: I am the demon king! Can this little trick fool me?
Yan Yue couldn't trick the medicine into entering his mouth and was sweating profusely. Chu Zhi happened to come back first and directly suggested to pry open his mouth and force the medicine in!
Bai Chen tried to run with his limping leg, but Chu Zhi grabbed him by the scruff of the neck.
The two women restrained his weak body, and without giving any explanation or caring about his face and dignity, they forcefully pried open his mouth.
He kicked his thin legs and struggled frantically, but he caught a glimpse of another woman lifting the curtain and entering the room.
Monster? !
Bai Chen's pupils suddenly shrank. In the moment of shock, Yan Yue pinched the pill between two fingers and stabbed it directly into his throat!
Then, without giving him a chance to gag, she grabbed his mouth and forced him to swallow the pill before he could breathe!
Finished!
I'm dirty!
Yan Yue saw that his kicking legs suddenly stopped moving. She seemed to be afraid that he would choke to death, so she quickly picked him up and helped him breathe: "Xiaobai, did you swallow it? It's okay if you swallowed it. You have to be good, so that you can get better quickly after taking the medicine, and you can go play with big brother Dahei soon!"
Nan Qing wiped his hands and said helplessly: "You two are really good. You can chat so happily with a dog!"
Yan Yue said seriously: "They really can understand! Look, Xiaobai just refused to take the medicine, but now that the medicine has been stuffed into his mouth, he is no longer making a fuss. He knows we are doing this for his own good."
Nan Qing sighed softly, "Okay, okay! You are the boss, whatever you say is right."
After three days, Bai Chen's doubts gradually disappeared.
Everything seems to be a coincidence.
Among the three women in the courtyard, Chu Zhi, who talks the most and chatters all day long, is an ordinary mortal woman. That Nan Qing was a little demon who had just transformed a few years ago. His demonic power was weak and was not enough to frame him or plot against him.
As for Yan Yue, no one knew why she could talk to ghosts, but it seemed that the other two knew about it, and she had no intention of hiding it. There are two ghosts in the yard. One is called Jiang Lao, who seems to be Dahei's original owner; the other is called Zhou Lin.
This small courtyard is full of weirdness, yet inexplicably harmonious. Humans, demons and ghosts get along very harmoniously, and the atmosphere is often filled with laughter.
If there weren't talismans to restrain evil spirits pasted on the doors and windows of the room, Bai Chen felt that he would really let his guard down.
That night, the egret leopard sneaked into the yard and smashed the window with a small stone. Bai Chen tiptoed out of the bed without disturbing Yan Yue.
"Your Majesty, I found it."
"Yan Yue opened a teahouse here, named Half Moon."
These two words touched Bai Chen's nerves, and his eyes widened instantly: "Ming Yue?!"
Bai Lubao knew his weak spot and quickly added, "Bright Ming, the bright moon in the full moon."
Seeing that Bai Chen's expression had eased, Bai Lubao continued, "This Chu Zhi is a villager from a small village outside Linjiang City. She has been dependent on her grandfather since she was a child. Her grandfather was a storyteller, who passed away a few months ago. Yan Yue invited her to the teahouse to tell stories."
"That Nan Qing was originally a servant of the Shen family in the neighboring Rongshan City, and was not well-received. I don't know how she was invited by Yan Yue to be the owner of this teahouse. This woman is quite smart in business. The teahouse business was originally very poor, but she promoted it, saying that the owner of the teahouse can communicate with ghosts and gods and ward off evil spirits, which is why the teahouse is now always full."
Bai Chen asked: "So after she transformed, she has been doing hard labor for mortals?"
Bai Lubao nodded: "Yes, and he works very hard, more seriously than ordinary people!"
Bai Chen couldn't understand and asked again: "What about those two ghosts? What are their origins?"
Bai Lubao replied: "That Jiang Huizong was a widower, an ordinary family in Linjiang City. He passed away a year ago. Dahei was the dog he raised during his lifetime. That Zhou Lin was the eldest son of the Zhou family, a wealthy family in the city. He died of illness on the way to Beijing for the imperial examination five years ago."
"This ghost has no background!" Bai Chen thought for a moment, then asked, "How is the investigation of the clan going? I asked you to investigate secretly, but have you revealed your identity?"
Bai Lubao said: "Of course not! Your subordinates are very careful!"
He said angrily, "That yellow-skinned guy led his men to search along the river for several days. I never thought it would be him! I didn't notice it all these years, but he replaced most of the people around me. The green weasel, the worm, the flower-faced civet cat, they are all his people..."
