Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 30
It was night, the courtyard was quiet, and a fire was burning in front of the coffin. The courtyard was small, but empty, and the person kneeling and guarding the coffin seemed to be very small, as if it was about to melt into the night.

Chiyu walked forward lightly, "Madam Lin is here alone, aren't you afraid?"

Lin stood up, wiped her eyes, and smiled, "You and I are both demons, so we are not afraid of people and ghosts."

"Yeah..." Chiyu seemed to think of something, "It's just that people are afraid of us."

"Otherwise, there are good and bad people, and there are demons. People who can distinguish right from wrong won't be afraid of just any monster. Demons who can distinguish right from wrong are also afraid of unreasonable people."

Chiyu smiled, "Madam Lin sees things better than I do."

"It's best if you can't see through it," she comforted with a smile, like a spring breeze.

Since the extinction of the monster race, Chiyu has also met a few scattered ones of the same kind. They all harbor hatred and live a life of secretly licking knives. Some even abandon themselves, no different from ants. of the same kind.

"You...how did you intermarry? Does Lin Zhang know your identity? The barrier between transvestites..."

Yu Shi interrupted her with a smile, "Of course I know, my husband and I are childhood sweethearts."

When Yu was young, the relationship between humans and demons was not so tense. She and Lin's family lived in a village hundreds of miles away, and they were neighbors from house to house.She was very beautiful, but the children in the village kept her away because she couldn't take back her rabbit ears.Because of these ears, she has become a well-known little girl with problems. Some people always think that she can't control her ears, that is, she can't control her demon nature, and she will go crazy and harm people sooner or later.

The only child who plays well with her is the little brother of the private school teacher Lin's family.This teacher is open-minded and willing to accept the kind-hearted monsters. His wife is also well-educated, and he often visits their house as a guest.They almost grew up together, and since they knew what love is, they have identified the person in front of them.

Later, Lin Zhang, the youngest son of the Lin family, went out to study for a few years. During this time, he kept writing letters to her and encouraged each other. Later, he was admitted to Jinshi and was appointed magistrate of Feng County. She is a wife.

Lin and his wife discussed all night with sad faces. The two are neighbors. They love the gentle and pleasant Yu, and they are friends with her parents regardless of race. Lin Zhang has not been around these years, and Yu is just like them. Like my own daughter.Now she has subdued her ears again and has become a well-known virtuous woman.It's just that such a good girl, many people from the same village came to peep and admire her, but no one dared to propose marriage, because there is no precedent for intermarriage between humans and monsters. Woolen cloth?
When they came out of the room with wrinkled faces, they saw the two little people holding hands tightly and looking at them expectantly. They couldn't bear it, so they agreed on the spot.Later, they moved their family to Feng County, and gradually no one knew Yu's identity as a demon clan, and they lived a normal life.The Yu family lived up to the expectations of the two elders, served them for the rest of their lives, and even gave birth to a daughter.

The two of them sang in harmony, raised their eyebrows together, and the whole Fengxian County became a good story.

The most daring thing Lin Zhang did in his life was to marry Yu Shi as his wife.He is upright, he does not want to participate in court struggles, nor does he want to flatter and flatter, he just wants to serve the people wholeheartedly.He, the county magistrate of Feng County, has been working for 20 years, and he is willing and has no complaints.

"It's just that after Zhenzhen's death, he often blamed himself. If he could let go of his literati character and be willing to cling to the powerful and get a bigger official position, would he be able to better protect his daughter... He always thought that he didn't want to enter the world. , is actually afraid of entering the world, and has been trapped in his own cowardice before death, which is hard to let go."

Sheng Yang came over from the yard. She was only wearing thin regular clothes and a thick cape.

"Lord Lin is a good father and a good official. It's not wrong for anyone to be cowardly in life."

"Your Highness," Yu Shi bowed slightly, her hair was messed up in front of her forehead, and her sleeves fluttered, as if she was about to blow away with the wind, "Your Highness and Miss Chiyu are both fearless people. When the demon clan was killed, my parents also They all died of disasters, but considering that her husband is in the court and her daughter still needs someone to take care of her, she put aside the matter of revenge, and once she puts it down, it will be a lifetime..."

Chiyu was also quite moved, revenge was her choice, and there was nothing wrong with Yushi choosing a better life.

"Shengyang is in a high position, and I'm alone. If we were in your situation, we might be impulsive to take revenge, and it may not be possible to harm our husband and daughter. Everyone has concerns and considerations. You already have new concerns. This is yours. The choice is not wrong."

"Yes, it takes courage to retreat and advance."

Sheng Yang smiled slightly, held Yushi's hand, and also took Chiyu's hand. The night was as cold as water, and there were many resentments before the soul. The hands of the three were like fire, warming each other.

After Sheng Yang chatted with them, he went back to the backyard slowly. This Lin's mansion is very small, but the minds of Lin's couple, and even their previous generation, went beyond this small house to a more open place.

She raised her head slightly, and under the only lantern in the courtyard, Duan Yuzhi folded his arms and leaned against the pillar, looking at her meaningfully.

"What for?" She raised her chin and took two steps, leaning slightly in front of him.

"Wait for the beauty."

The corners of his mouth twitched into a smile. It looked like when he was a monster catcher, he was unrestrained, a young man with high spirits, and thought he could catch all the villains and monsters in the world.

Sheng Yang really liked him like this, hooked his neck, tiptoed to give him a kiss.

He seemed a little surprised, and thought about it again, and there was a star in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

He put Rongyue into his arms, and the two of them stuck close, Rongyue looked up at him, his eyes were so bright that they were as bright as the moonlight.

He thought to himself, everyone in the world said that Wenrou Township is a tomb of heroes, even if the people who said this had never tasted Ruanrou Township.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Shi saw off at the gate of the mansion alone.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wen Ming asked a little strangely, "I woke up empty this morning, Madam Lin dismissed all the servants in the mansion?"

Lin smiled, "Yes, Husband and Zhenzhen are gone, I am alone, I can live no matter what, so I simply let the servants go."

Chiyu shook her hand, "Sister, you can think about what I told you last night, let's avenge the Yaozu together."

Yushi smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll write to you when I think about it."

"Your Highness, Grand Tutor Duan," she took out an object and handed it to Sheng Yang. Duan Yuzhi took it and took a closer look.

"A piece of iron?" Duan Yuzhi looked at her questioningly.

"Yes, I sorted out my husband's last belongings last night, and found a stone fell from the gap under the bed. I remembered that my husband had gone to the Luzhi Mountains between Feng County and Beiguan three days before his death, and he seemed to have something on his mind when he came back. But when I asked, he said that the mountain road was complicated and he almost lost his way. He finally got out. I didn’t take it seriously. Now that I think about it, there seems to be something wrong. I leave this stone to you. I hope you can find it for my husband soon. The truth... Lin's Yuniang thanked you."

After she finished speaking, she bowed on her knees and made a big salute.

Sheng Yang and Duan Yuzhi looked at each other, and Duan Yuzhi gave a little help, saying,
"The death of County Magistrate Lin should be closely related to the strange incidents in Beiguan. Don't worry, we will investigate this matter and find out."

"Yes, let's wait for our good news."

Yushi stood up and nodded happily.

Sheng Yang and his party got into the carriage, and Yu Shi waved to them. Seeing them drifting away, they staggered into the house.

The scenery in May should be the best. The sun is warm in the morning, but it can't shine through the dusty Fengxian County.There are small vendors in the street in twos and threes, selling daily necessities, and no one sells food, vegetables or breakfast.

Duan Yuzhi stopped the carriage, opened the curtain and casually asked a passerby, "Brother, has Feng County been short of food for a long time?"

The elder brother was a little confused at the beginning, seeing the gorgeous carriage, and the person in the carriage seemed to be an official, he knelt down, "My lord, my lord! Are you the lord who came to rescue us from Pingyang!"

His face was yellow and thin, his cheeks were sunken, and his voice was weak, but there were few people on the street, so many people heard it, and they all ran over and knelt around the carriage, "It's the officials from Pingyang who came to rescue us! The high officials in Pingyang are here to save us!"

Duan Yuzhi frowned, "How long have you been short of food?"

"My lord, it's been two months, two months, we still have some good food left in our family, and we confiscated it, and it was taken by Beiguan, saying it was to support the army."

"That's right! When we were harvesting the food, we were told to hold on to it for half a month at most, and someone from Pingyang would come to deliver the food. We only left less than half a month's worth of food for the family, and it has been eaten up long ago..."

"My lord, please, you are here to deliver food, give us some..."

"My lord, please, my daughter is starving to death at home!"

The people, you and I, have surrounded the carriage with water.

Sheng Yang ordered Wen Ming to share his purse with them, but he was cast aside.

"Bah, who wants these things, money is the least valuable thing now!"

"Yes, my lord, if you give us money, we have no place to buy food, so we can't eat gold to fill our stomachs!"

"Give me food! Give me food!"

"Give me food! Give me food!"

Sheng Yang and Duan Yuzhi looked at each other, and they didn't want to show their weapons to the people unless they had to.

They lowered the curtain, Wen Ming went outside to persuade, the two were in a stalemate, more and more people came to hear the news, and they were blocked for less than half an hour.

Amidst the din, there was a more urgent and louder shout. In an instant, this voice overwhelmed the reproaches of the people. Through the curtain, Sheng Yang heard their shouting...

"Not good! Not good!"

Her heart tightened, as if thinking of something, she screamed at Duan Yuzhi, "It's not good!"
