Rebellious Contract Beast

Two days later, it was late at night.

A figure riding a horse walked out of the night and slowly stopped on the street.

The sturdy horse shook its head, snorted, and exhaled a breath of cold mist.

The figure coming up from the horse quickly raised a finger and put it in front of his mouth to make a silencing gesture.

"No, can the horse understand your movements?"

"Don't talk to me!"

Tsurumi Chuyun drank and tried to calm down Shen Yi in his mind, but it was obvious that the other party was not obedient and muttered: "Can't you come back tomorrow? It's so late, can't you just stay by yourself during the day?"

"You will let me delay tomorrow. You think I don't know you and I can't bother you!"

"Yes, yes, you can do whatever you like."

"..." Tsurumi Chuyun didn't bother to say anything to Shen Yi. He originally gave him the idea for tonight's action, and the reason why he kept mumbling and complaining was. It's just that I can't play the so-called "Miracle Nuannuan" anymore.

She checked the night clothes on her body. She found this set of clothes specially made by a tailor the day before yesterday. The material was the shadow gauze that Shen Yi asked for from Qiu Ruixian. Based on this alone, this set of clothes can be regarded as a set of magic weapons. , in the perception of others, she is completely invisible.

Taking out the magical weapon of the beloved spirit and putting the noisy Jueying into it, she risked her waist and came to the wall outside the winery, and then asked Shen Yi: "What's the situation inside now?"

"There are three people, probably Yang Bayuan, Yang Bo and Li Rong. They seem to have fallen asleep."

"Is there anyone else?"

"Won't I tell you?"

"Ok."

Nodding helplessly, the look on her face became serious, and she started to use her spiritual power. In the next second, she was seen flying silently into the winery like a ghost, and then moved quickly towards the back of the winery.

In front of the warehouse door, she took out the key she had prepared and opened the door, then walked in.

"Okay, just put it here."

After looking around, she picked a spot near the window, placed the jar with wine on the table, checked the surroundings, and marked the location.

The moonlight can shine here, and it is the only place with light in the warehouse at night.

After doing this, she walked deep into the warehouse, took out a small bench from the storage space and sat down against the wall.

The next thing she had to do was wait until dawn, or until someone showed up.

As long as someone dares to appear in the warehouse, she can immediately capture them.

"I'll just sit here. If someone comes in, it will be difficult to see me at the first moment... Xuan Li?"

"what?"

"Don't sleep, you have to keep an eye on me."

"Okay, okay, anyway, don't sleep right after I come up."

"No, don't worry, I'll have to stay up late again tonight."

"What kind of night do you want to stay up? Is this called staying up all night? This is called staying up all night!"

"No, it's the same." Tsurumi Chuyun pouted, listening to the sound of the night wind blowing outside, feeling good for the time being.

"..."

Shen Yi sighed in the space of consciousness. In his previous life, he stayed up late playing with his mobile phone at night. Well, in this life, he had to stay up late when he traveled to a world without mobile phones.

The night wind blew by again, and this time the buzzing sound of bees vibrating their wings could be heard. Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh, it was so late and the poor little bees still had to work hard.

After a while.

Shen Yi glanced around with his senses boredly, not knowing what he saw, and his expression became strange.

"Old witch."

"Ok?"

"There is something good next to your feet, why don't you lower your head and take a look?"

"What good thing?" He saw Chuyun's expression of confusion, feeling that Shen Yi was trying to trick her, but she still lowered her head and looked at her feet.

"Ah!" She was so frightened that she screamed and quickly covered her mouth after reacting.

There was indeed something at her feet, but it was not the good thing Shen Yi said. It was dark and the light was too dim. She could only see its outline, but the shape was clearly that of a caterpillar, which was as thick as a human finger!
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

He Jian Chuyun asked, and Shen Yi couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

Although this old witch kills people without blinking an eye, she is just a girl after all. Even men are a little scared to see such a big caterpillar, let alone her.

"I just discovered it too."

"Uh~!"

With a cold snort, she frowned and kicked down, making Shen Yi in the conscious space couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Hey, old witch, are you disgusting?"

Through the information fed back by her senses, she trampled the caterpillar into mud. She knew without thinking that the caterpillar's liquid would definitely splash everywhere.

"any left?"

"Yes, I have."

"where?"

"They are everywhere. How about you find them all and trample them all to death?"

Tsurushi was speechless when he saw Chuyun. There was a small forest next to the back of the winery. It was normal to have caterpillars. As for finding them one by one and killing them all, that was simply unrealistic.

"Is there any more around?"

"No." Shen Yi shook his head.

Hearing what he said, Tsurumi Chuyun breathed a sigh of relief, but she still picked up the small bench and moved it to a different position. She looked like a caterpillar. She felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. It was impossible to get anywhere with being stepped on. All the caterpillar carcasses stayed together.

"Are you so scared?"

"you shut up!"

"Tsk~"

"..."

It was late at night, and the voices in his head had been quiet for a long time. Tsurumi Chuyun thought about taking out a book and reading it to pass the time, but he was hiding in the dark, and there was no light around him. Can you take a good look at the contents of the book?

After flipping through a few pages, she had no choice but to put the book away.

Well, she had to admit now that it was really torturous to go through this while doing nothing, and it was not an easy task.

In the past, she could stay up late because she had something to do, whether it was making alchemy or drawing talismans, and she also had to satisfy some weird habits of her contracted beast. She couldn't take any time off at all, and the time passed by unconsciously. .

"Xuanli."

Feeling really bored, she had no choice but to call out Shen Yi.

She didn't forget that she brought Shen Yi here with her just to let him talk to her so that she could get through the long night.

"..."

"Xuanli!"

"..."

"Xuanli? Are you sleeping?" "What are you doing? You're not sleeping."

"What should we talk about?"

"What are we talking about? Postpartum care for sows?"

"You..." She was annoyed for a moment, but then she sighed, shook her head and said nothing further.

It seems like there is nothing to talk about now.

She lowered her head dejectedly and looked at the shelf filled with large wine jars with a ghostly look in her eyes.

She didn't know how she survived the rest of the time, but after hearing the crow of a big rooster outside, she felt as if she had been in a coma for several years and then suddenly woke up.

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

"What other sound could it be? The sound of a rooster." Shen Yi's voice rang in her head, which made her energetic.

"Cock? It's dawn?"

"You can see for yourself." She glanced out the window. It was still dark, but there was a faint hint of white on the horizon. It wasn't long before dawn.

"Oh~ you didn't sleep?"

"No."

"It's okay if you're not asleep. Did you see anyone?"

"What the hell? Didn't you see it?" Shen Yi's words in his mind were full of doubts. He Jian Chuyun was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "What?"

"Don't tell me you sleep with your eyes open!"

"Ah?" She didn't know what to say for a moment. She had been in a haze since the second half of the night. She felt like she had been seeing the wine jar by the window, and she felt like she had fallen asleep.

"I...I shouldn't have, right? Huh?"

"Oh, let me go, you are also a talent."

"Okay, okay, you haven't seen anyone come in, have you?"

"No, no. Anyway, I was drunk and slept with my eyes open. This is the first time I've seen it. Tell me, what does it feel like?"

Tsurumi Chuyun was too lazy to pay attention to him and slept with her eyes open. She didn't have that ability, but just sitting here and waiting all night was really torture. She definitely didn't want to do it again next time, and it was best not to have another time.

She originally wanted to get up and check how the wine in the wine jar was doing, but considering that it might not even be the fifth watch yet, it was not yet time. To be safe, she was prepared to wait patiently until it was completely light.

There was a thought in her mind, so she didn't stop it and listened quietly.

No matter what, Shen Yi mocking himself like this was a way to relieve his boredom.

……

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed.

The sky outside was bright and the sun was shining on the grounds behind the winery.

Tsurumi Chuyun, who had been sitting on the small bench, exhaled a breath and finally stood up.

"That should be enough time now, right?"

"You'll know after you try it."

"What should I do if there is no smell?"

"Then just wait a little longer. The wine probably hasn't been too deeply affected yet. We'll see again at noon. But you came right after midnight yesterday, and it's been at least eight hours now. There should be some changes."

"But what if there is still no smell after noon?"

"Believe me, go directly to arrest that old scumbag and Ma Ping, but you have to do it secretly, because then Yang Bayuan will be more suspicious."

"Oh~" Tsurumi Chuyun's expression became solemn. To say that her behavior this night was undoubtedly the stupidest way, because it was better to torture herself than just wait here all night and go directly to the Tiger Gang. It would be a choice for her to make the decision if she asked the court official.

The reason why she had to hide it from everyone and stay there all night was because in addition to suspecting that the odor in the wine was caused by human manipulation, she also suspected that there were other unknown problems that caused the odor in the wine. , I want to witness it with my own eyes.

But now it seems that there is no latter, and it is more likely to be caused by humans.

When she came to the wine jar, she felt a pain in the middle of her eyebrows, and a ball of light forced out, turning into Shen Yi beside her.

"Let's drive it and see how it goes."

"Yeah." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded. The wind was a bit strong last night. Compared with when he came, there was a thin layer of ash on the table where the wine jar was placed. And how did he place the wine jar yesterday? It is still in place today and has not been touched in the slightest.

As soon as the lid of the wine jar was opened, the rich aroma of wine suddenly wafted out. Tsurumi Chuyun's face showed a look of contentment. This wine was the first time she had brewed it by herself. From the smell, the quality seemed to be very good.

She took out the wine bucket, rinsed it with water, reached into the wine jar and scooped out some wine, then brought it to her mouth to take a sip.

"What does it taste like?" Shen Yi asked, and when He saw Chuyun's movement, his face became strange the next second, and he handed the wine bucket to him.

Shen Yi followed closely and took a sip. After he tasted it, he smiled "haha", returned the wine bucket to her and walked aside, saying: "Hey, old witch, it seems you only have one way left."

It goes without saying what the result will be.

The originally normal wine had an unusual smell after being left in the winery overnight.

The expression on Tsurushi Chuyun's face darkened, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

She's in a very complicated mood right now, and even she can't describe it herself
Under her nose, the good wine had a fishy smell, which was very strange, but this result just eliminated Yang Bayuan's suspicion.

To her, Yang Bayuan was from the Zhao family. He was the person she trusted most in Jiangzhou besides Shen Yi. It would be really hurtful if he was responsible for everything that happened in the winery.

But on the other hand, Yang Bayuan was cleared of suspicion, but there was no progress in the problems in the winery. As Shen Yi said, there was only one way left for her, which made her feel uneasy.

"Old witch, what do you say now? When are you going to go find the Tiger Gang?"

After coming back to his senses, He Jian Chuyun sighed, shook his head and said in a depressed mood: "Don't worry, let's forget about the things in the winery for now. During this time, I will refine the elixir and feed you. Wait. When the time comes, go to the ghost market to exchange some money, and what happens later..."

Shen Yi blinked and sighed along with her in his heart. He didn't understand why the old witch was just delaying it. After all, after searching for the Tiger Gang, if there were still no clues, the winery would be basically hopeless. Everything is too weird and impossible to do.

In the end, the only thing he could do was to close the winery and give Yang Bayuan money to do other business.

Also, there is no news from the Zhao family. It is very likely that they are being targeted by the Daliang royal family. Maybe now they are just like the Tsurumi family, with their entire family being massacred. Of course, no one knows the specific situation.

After spending so long with the old witch, Shen Yi knew very well that if her flower hairpin was stolen, he would not have the slightest suspicion, and the old witch would go crazy!

If the situation in the Zhao family is really what I think, then this winery is the only thought left by the Zhao family to the old witch.

She didn't want to give up just like that, and Shen Yi could understand it, but he still said: "Okay, do whatever you want, but it's not a problem that the winery has been shut down. You have to find time to find out, right?"

"Hmm, okay, let's wait for a month, okay? We'll see then. If there's nothing we can do, I'll..." While saying this, Shen Yi kept looking at her side face. Although she didn't look at him, he I could clearly see glistening flashes in her eyes, which were obviously tears, but she held them back.

Seeing this, Shen Yi waved his paws and said, "Okay, it's not good to worry about things in the winery all the time. I'll listen to you. Let's wait for a month before talking about it. But don't be so depressed. In my opinion, there are very many people on the Tiger Gang. What can I ask?"

"Where am I lost?"

"Ah, yes, yes, you are not mourning!"

"Ignore you!"

"This maid of mine is getting more and more angry."

"Okay, we're out, what do you want to eat later?"

"Thirty meat buns, what about you?"

"I want to eat wontons."

"..."
