Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 37
Its deep-set eye sockets are filled with black hair, its mouth makes chirping sounds from time to time, and there are both men's and women's things growing on its lower body...

Amazingly...

Androgynous!

Hu Qian understood immediately, and was about to look again when the thing had already crawled to his feet.

He shook his head and chopped down with a sword.

The thing immediately bled all over the ground and died.

He looked at the countless earthworms in the pit, and as soon as he thought about it, he swung a sword light down.

"Pfft!"

The sword light dissipated, sticky liquid flowed out, and there were one after another little monsters with human faces.

Some of these things were alive, some were dead, and they wriggled constantly, looking extremely terrifying.

A bold yamen servant came over, saw those faces, and said in horror: "Isn't that Zhao Si's wife? This is... the son of Hou Baicai..."

He glanced at it twice, then ran not far away and vomited.

The rest couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts, and they also came over to take a look, and then they all ran out to vomit one by one as if they were infected.

Hu Qian sighed, and asked everyone to pick up dry firewood and dry grass to pile on it, and set it on fire.

In the thick smoke and fire, there was neither crying nor screaming, only the sound of "squeaks" one after another.

Xu Yuanfang sighed, "Oh, there are so many tragedies in the world!"

Hu Qian was about to answer when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a tree root among the three cut off pears slowly moving a little farther away.

At first he thought he was delusional, but when he took a closer look, he saw that the root of the tree burrowed into the soil like a pangolin, and quickly fled towards the distance.

"Where to go!"

Hu Qian snorted coldly, flew forward in an instant, caught up with the head in three or five steps, stabbed down with the long sword, and immediately a man's scream came from the soil.

"Mage, have mercy!"

Hu Qian ignored it, and stabbed down again!A layer of blood immediately oozed from the ground.

"Mage, please spare me! I was only coerced by grandma!"

Seeing that Hu Qian didn't respond, he suddenly said grimly: "If you kill me, grandma will take revenge on you!"

Hu Qian stabbed several swords one after another, and the sound gradually disappeared from the ground.

After digging three or four feet along the bloodstain with a shovel, I saw the blood-stained tree root.

Hu Qian was about to use his long sword to pierce it through, but unexpectedly the long sword was suddenly covered with rust.

Helpless, he had no choice but to use a shovel to get out the roots, and even the roots, branches, and leaves of the other red pears were thrown into the fire and burned.

The fire continued to burn until the night before it gradually died down.

Hu Qian took a closer look and confirmed that there were no other abnormalities, so he asked people to bury the pothole.

The crowd was exhausted physically and mentally, and overly frightened. On the way back, no one said a word, but the line narrowed as they walked—everyone leaned as close as possible to Hu Qian.

After three days, there were no more mother and child suicides in Jinling City, and no new cases were reported from the counties below.

In order to appease the people, the state government issued a special notice.

It is stated that recently there are demon monks who have cheated people and made money by using the technique of arhats giving birth to children, causing many people to hang themselves. Please don't believe it.

Those in the know don't want to say more, and those who don't know forget it after seeing it, and this matter is quickly forgotten.

But for Hu Qian, it's not that simple.

He originally thought it was just the safflower pear becoming a spirit. In order to absorb human blood essence, he first conjured up dreams to those women who were eager to have children, and attracted them to come to their door, and then made the safflower earth dragon have sex with her day and night to give birth to children.

When the child was one or two years old, the husband and wife quarreled when they saw that the child was a hermaphrodite monster.

So the woman took the child and committed suicide in shame and indignation.

Although her husband knew some secrets, but because of the family's reputation, he refused to tell the truth.

But looking at it now, it seems that this "grandmother" arranged it.

As far as Hu Qian knows, it seems that there is only one who can be called "grandmother".

In addition, the red flower pear is also a tree spirit, which can further explain the identity of that person.

As for whether those monsters with earthworm bodies are the corpses of the dead, or the souls trapped inside, or something else...

Excavate Zhao Si Niang's tomb, open the coffin and have a look, maybe the answer can be revealed.

But Hu Qian no longer wanted to know.

During this period of time, he just stayed with his family and was vigilant day and night. As a result, nothing happened after a month.

Shen Yuzhen had always been thoughtful and intelligent. Seeing Hu Qian like this, she had some vague guesses.

"If my husband doesn't tell me the truth, I won't be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life."

Hu Qian caressed her hair, "I'm afraid my husband told you, and you can't feel at ease even more."

She suddenly said seriously: "What happened? Did you encounter any difficulties?
Is it the last time, the concubine has caused a lot of trouble for the husband? "

She pursed her red lips as she said, her face was full of self-blame, "Sir, my concubine is really..."

Hu Qian quickly interrupted: "No, don't think about it."

I had no choice but to tell her what happened.

"There is such a thing?"

She was shocked at first, and then blamed herself even more.

"The concubine actually disregarded my husband's dissuasion, and almost put my husband in danger. The concubine is really..."

As he spoke, there were tears in his eyes and he began to cry.

Hu Qian held her tightly in his arms, "Miss, don't think too much, isn't your husband doing well!"

After comforting for a long time, she finally calmed down, and said softly: "Sir, what did you think about the matter last time?"

"what's up?"

"The concubine thing."

"This...isn't it still a year?"

"It's going to be Laba in one month, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'm hopeless..."

"Don't worry, lady, your husband is good at fairy arts."

"Even if it is a fairy art, it cannot conjure a child out of thin air.

Don't shirk, Xianggong, the concubine has already thought about it, Ma Shoubei is an important member of the imperial court, so it is naturally impossible for his daughter to be a concubine.

The day before yesterday I quietly inquired that Mama Liu's family had a distant niece named Axiu, who turned out to be the daughter of Yao's shopkeeper in Gai County.

Later, there was a bandit disaster in Gai County, Yao's shopkeeper's family was separated when they fled, and their parents didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

But Mama Liu's family was poor and she couldn't support her, so she wanted to find a home for her. "

"Axiu?"

"Yes, Mama Liu said that she is unparalleled in beauty and is used to doing housework. It is most suitable to serve the young master and madam."

"Miss, have you met?"

"I haven't met her yet, but Mama Liu is honest, so she won't lie to me.

Besides, it's just a concubine, so my husband doesn't have to shy away from anything, if the concubine is interested, let Liu Ma call her here, and my husband will see her first. "

Hu Qian took a breath.

Feudal society!Dark feudal society!
Marrying a wife pays attention to three media and six employments. Before marriage, men and women do not see each other at all.

As the saying goes, marry a rooster as the rooster, marry a dog as the dog, it all depends on luck.

And this concubine can look at it first, which is similar to shopping on the street.

The key point is that Shen Yuzhen still has a reasonable expression on her face.

I have to say that feudal thinking kills people!

But this is not her problem, this era is like this.

Thinking of this, Hu Qian sighed, "Good!"
