The Great Demon (2)

The woman turned sideways and opened the door with a small slit.

Pei Yu frowned, and the strong smell of blood spread over her, making her feel a little sick.

The smell of blood is somewhat similar to the smell in the blood mist, full of malice, resentment, hatred…

It’s not a pleasant smell anyway.

“In the middle of the night, what are you doing here?” the woman reached the door and asked. This posture seemed to be afraid of them running out.

Huai Bai narrowed her eyes and said harmlessly: “Ah, we got lost, we came here without knowing it.”

The woman’s narrow fox eyes showed suspicion, and after looking at them carefully, she whispered: “Sleep with me tonight, and leave as soon as possible tomorrow.”

Huai Bai bowed her hands and thanked her, “Thank you girl.”

The woman was expressionless, “You don’t have to call me girl, just call me third aunt.”

Huai Bai was startled.

She, a person of four to five hundred years old, calling someone else’s little girl to be an aunt, she is really…

No pressure yet.

“My third aunt was born so young,” Huai Bai flattered with kindness: “I thought it was a young lady who hadn’t come out of the pavilion.”

The third aunt turned her back to them and picked up the oil lamp on the table, “Come with me.”

“You live in a guest room.”

The third aunt took them into a small courtyard. The big house in the middle of the yard was still lit, and it appeared to be the owner’s bedroom. The guest room is on the left side of the small courtyard, a small room, which is fairly clean.

Suddenly, Huai Bai looked to the right and asked, “Is that also a guest room?”

“No, firewood room.”

Huai Bai smiled and said, “Firewood room huh.”

Pei Yu also followed.

The white peacock dissipated the dark clouds. At this moment, the stars were scarce, and everything was obvious.

A lock was hung on the door of the firewood room, the window was sealed with wooden boards, and the cobwebs under the eaves were like weaves.

In such poor rural areas, guest rooms are rarely used, and most people use firewood rooms to temporarily replace them.

But the third aunt’s guest room was clean, enough to show that she was particular and careful. Since you are paying attention to other people, how can the most commonly used wood shed be so messy?

The third aunt didn’t think much, put the lamp on the closet of the guest room, and said, “I’ll get you the bed quilt.”

Huai Bai smiled again and said, “Thank you, thank you.”

She saw the third aunt walking to the bedroom and followed behind, “I’ll help you get it. Why should I feel so embarrassed to trouble the host?”

The third aunt blocked the door, “No need.”

Huai Bai didn’t insist anymore, “Then trouble my third aunt.”

Pei Yu walked a few steps into the bedroom and stopped again. The closer you get there, the stronger the bloody air, and this family is really strange.

The third aunt looked thin and weak, but she held a thick quilt with two wood-like hands.

“Tomorrow I will take you away, where are you going?”

Huai Bai hesitated, “Just around here, around here… what’s the name of the place?”

“Qifang Town?”

“Yes! It’s Qifang Town.”

The third aunt nodded, “I will see you there tomorrow.”

Huai Bai thanked again and again, “It’s so troublesome my third aunt. Are you going to town too?”

The third aunt’s complexion was a little bad, “Well, buy something.”

Huai Bai asked again: “Third aunt, have you still not slept so late?”

The third aunt spread the quilt and said with a cold face: “I heard you singing after a long distance.”

Huai Bai chuckled a few times, as if actively confessing her mistake and unrepentant, “That’s really sorry for you.”

Pei Yu was a little helpless with her salivating face.

She knew in her heart that according to the volume of Huai Bai’s humming, the third aunt might hear it when she walked to the door, but if she was awakened from a distance, it was impossible. But why does the third aunt say that? She could obviously refuse to say that she hadn’t slept late at night.

Huai Bai thought for a while, and stopped the third aunt who was going to leave with a shy face, and said with a smile: “Third aunt, is there anything weird around here?”

The third aunt said grimly: “It’s weird that you sing on the road in the middle of the night.”

Huai Bai was a little embarrassed, “I think I still sing very nicely… I mean, are there any demons?”

The third aunt’s face sank, “What do you ask this?”

Huai Bai rubbed her hands, “No, when we walked over, we were curious when we saw something strange.”

“Curiosity killed the cat.” The third aunt dropped these words, quickly walked out of the guest room, and slammed the door.

Huai Bai wanted to ask more, but was refused entrance.

(T/N: refused entrance is an idiom meaning to be rejected, the usage here is both literally and figuratively)

She was wronged, “But I am not a cat, I am a little fairy~”

Pei Yu reluctantly picked up the lamp in her hand.

By the candlelight, the crimson runes painted on the window tree were also revealed. This rune is not an evil spell, but a serious rune that can resist evil.

Huai Bai also leaned over and said, “What kind of ghost symbol is this, it’s really ugly.” As she said, she reached out and wiped it, then sniffed, “Wow, it’s still painted by cinnabar.”

After being touched by her, the spell has expired.

Pei Yu didn’t know if she did it intentionally, so she stood still with the candlelight.

Huai Bai patted her hands clean, then got into the bed first, slept on the side of the window, and said to Pei Yu: “Apprentice, come and go to bed~ Master tells you a bedtime story.”

Pei Yu nodded, blew out the candle, took off her shoes and socks and climbed onto the bed.

As soon as she entered the quilt, she was hugged by Huai Bai, “Apprentice, let me tell you a story about Snow White.”

Pei Yu suddenly asked, “Have senior brother and sisters heard of this story?”

Huai Bai nodded, “Of course.”

“Master, I want to hear stories you haven’t told them.”

Huai Bai was silent for a moment, “…You are embarrassing my fat little tiger!” She looked down at the pitiful child, and finally softened, “Forget it, let me tell you a story about a monk. There used to be a mountain. There is a temple on the mountain…”

After a long time, the child in her arms closed her eyes tightly, and there was no more movement. Then, Huai Bai carefully covered her with the quilt, and sighed silently in her heart.

Huai Bai: “Such a boring story, the apprentice can also hear and fall asleep, it’s really unreliable!”

Pei Yu: “Such a boring story, it’s amazing how Master can recite for an hour!”

Pei Yu was closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep, when a rustling sound suddenly sounded by the window, and another stench came.

She frowned and opened her eyes.

Huai Bai was stunned, “Apprentice, did something bother you?”

Pei Yu shook her head and looked around, but didn’t find the ghost.

Huai Bai changed her expression and said grimly: “Apprentice, let me tell you, there is a ghost here.”

Pei Yu asked curiously: “What kind?”

Huai Bai said, “There are real ghosts here. The ghosts I’m talking about are real ghosts, not that ghost.”

(T/N: ghosts can refer to either the supernatural spirit of a dead person or mean something weird/strange/bad that is going on)

Pei Yu was a little bewildered by her words, “What kind of ghost is that ghost? What kind of ghost are you talking about?”

“I said there are ghosts here, but not that kind of ghosts here, do you understand?” Huai Bai gestured with her left hand: “This time there are ghosts. It doesn’t mean that there are weird things. There are real ghosts.”

Pei Yu was puzzled, “I know, so what is it?”

Huai Bai couldn’t explain it clearly, and simply stretched out her right hand, which had been behind her, “Look, there is a real ghost!”

She carried a bruised baby in her right hand.

The ghost infant has a hideous face, flaring his teeth and claws in the air, and a long blood-red umbilical cord extends out of the window.

Pei Yu: “…oh.”

Huai Bai was stunned, “Why didn’t you get so scared, and then threw yourself into my arms?”

The author has something to say: Huai Bai: My apprentices, let me tell you a ghost story!

Big Brother: Ahhhhhh, pounce into Master’s arms (kicked away)

Second Sister: Ahhhhhh, pounce

Third Sister: Ahhhhhh, pounce

Fourth Sister: Ahhhhhh, pounce

Pei Yu: …wait upstairs, I will turn you all into ghosts!
