Chapter 50

Evening, unitary time.

The streets outside became quiet again, except for the occasional peddlers who carried burdens on their way home, still hawking a few times in the alley.

"How do you know that there will be water tonight?"

Fan Chen put away the gossip bronze mirror, looked sideways at Fang Yao who was sharpening his scythe in the courtyard, and then frowned, "How can there be someone who sharpens a knife like you?"

Fang Yao rolled her eyes silently, this stinky man only knows how to order others to do things, he also likes to babble.

"Ah."

Fan Chen sneered, "I don't think you have any other skills. You can pretend to be deaf and dumb. Forgot who rescued you brave people from prison?"

Fang Yao was not convinced when she heard this, "I'm sorry, I borrowed the name of Dr. Cui, what does it have to do with you?"

The afterglow in the distance was reflected in her round eyes, as if there was light in them, shining brightly.

Fan Chen turned his eyes away, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "You don't have the shame, how dare you pretend to be Dr. Cui's wife so boldly."

Fang Yao was even more unconvinced, and said straightforwardly: "This is an idea at a critical moment, so I don't feel ashamed!"

As she said that, she suddenly thought of Dr. Cui's gentle face, and felt a little embarrassed, and continued to hum: "Besides, I didn't intend to pretend to be Dr. Cui's wife, I just wanted to pretend to be his mother..."

Naihe didn't wear makeup, conditions did not allow it.

"..."

Fan Chen looked like he had seen a ghost, "As expected, except for this face, she really doesn't look like a young woman anywhere..."

Fang Yao just wanted to ask him what he meant, but after thinking about it, at least there was an obvious meaning in the other party's words - she was young.

The resentment of being called "Mother" for the first time seems to have faded a little bit.

Fang Yao continued to sharpen the knife.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside.

Fang Yao got up and took a few steps before realizing that Fan Chen had already left.

"What, there is really no sound when walking, is it a human..."

She murmured softly, and was about to quietly see who was outside when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, when she heard Li Fugui's voice, "Master, open the door quickly, we are back!"

Fang Yao paused, and saw Li Fugui, A Wu, Gouwa, Gouwaniang through the crack of the door...

She opened the wooden door, and all the familiar faces in Lijia Village were looking at her and smiling.

"Master, we are back, you haven't eaten yet."

Li Fugui lifted the few knives of pork in his hand, and said happily, "It's about ten catties. The butcher on the street wants to close the stall and sell it to us cheaply."

Fang Yao's eyes were slightly hot, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Why are you all back again? Where are my sister and Dabao?"

After she said that at noon, she gave Li Fugui a tael of silver and asked him to take everyone out to hide first.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, the villagers all came back again.

"They were all sent out. Those who were still injured in our village were sent to temporary tents outside the city."

"Master, you have saved the life of our surnamed Li more than once. Our life is yours, to put it nicely."

"Although we are all mountain people with little experience and knowledge, we also know how to repay our kindness. Letting our benefactors alone in danger is not the family motto of Lijia Village."

Li Fugui said with enthusiasm, "It's a blessing for us to meet such an expert who cares about the common people like you, master!"

The emotion in Fang Yao's heart gradually deteriorated amidst his steady stream of pride and ambition...

With words like caring for the common people, even a thick-skinned woman like her who runs the train with her mouth full of words at any time, is too embarrassed to put money on her face.

She just couldn't do it knowing that danger would happen, but watched innocent people die in vain.

"cough."

Fang Yao closed the door, interrupted Li Fugui's eloquence, looked at the things everyone was carrying, and said in surprise: "Why did you buy so much? There must be about ten catties of meat! How much did you spend?"

She only gave Li Fugui a tael of silver, which was only enough to buy a stone of rice in Liyang County, but now the villagers have two big bags of rice, white flour and a dozen catties of meat.

Don't think about it, the rest must be paid for by Li Fugui himself.

"Master, you don't need to worry about it. I guess there may be a fierce battle tonight, and we must all have enough to eat." Li Fugui was very proud, "In this way, we will have the strength to fight against the plague monster that harmed the people at night." Dou is not!"

Fang Yao was speechless for a while.

It seems that Li Fugui is really buried as a little patriarch in the mountains, this little old man cares more about the common people than she does.

During the day today, she did tell Li Fugui and the others that there would be plague monsters in Liyang County at night, and if they wanted to leave, she would not stop them.

She originally thought that if these people were afraid to leave, after the epidemic in Liyang county was resolved, she would just use the reason that following her would be dangerous in the future to part ways with the villagers of Lijia village.

But looking at it now, Li Fugui and the others may have followed her for a long time...

This made her feel quite complicated, and she counted the people who came in, a total of 39 people.

Almost everyone came except the old, the weak, the sick, and the injured.

Now that they are all here, Fang Yao strokes the porcelain whistle in the shape of a bird that she bought from a shopkeeper during the day on her neck, her heart moves, and she beckons.

The villagers surrounded the past.

"That night everyone was like this..."

……

night.

On Wang Yuanwai's mansion, in an open space behind the hall, there was a three-foot-long vermilion table covered with yellow silk.

On the large table, pigs, cattle and sheep are placed from right to left, and in the front, there is an altar with various kinds of objects on it.

Mrs. Wang was moved to this open space with people and bed.

The three Taoist priests who had just finished bathing and changing clothes were a little at a loss when they saw this battle.

The young Taoist lowered his voice and asked: "Big brother, isn't this formation a bit too much..."

The young female Taoist priest stood on the other side, "Second senior brother, you really don't know much."

The old Taoist reprimanded lightly: "Be more serious. Master Wuyan entrusted us to Zhengqingmen to handle this important matter of catching evil spirits. You don't want to embarrass Master later."

The two young Taoist priests were silent for a moment, and finally, the young female Taoist priest couldn't help but said again: "Brother, have you ever really seen a monster? What does a monster look like?"

The old Taoist priest fell into a brief silence. Naturally, he had never seen a monster before, but he couldn't say that in front of his brothers and sisters.

"Don't Taoist people ask such ridiculous questions. How dare monsters act in front of us and other righteous people."

Under the admiring gazes of the two brothers and sisters, the elder Taoist said righteously, "After a while, you just follow the same training as usual, just follow me, and the monster will naturally be caught by us."

Accompanied by the ringing of the copper bell, three Taoist priests, holding mahogany swords and an ancient compass, slowly walked towards the altar for sacrifice.

The full moon in the sky slowly rises from the top of the century-old locust tree not far away.

 It will be on the shelves tomorrow, if you guys like it, I hope you can support a first order () from a humble rookie writer who threw himself into the sewer...
