The forced marriage failed, but the poor boy turned around to exorcise demons and save people

Chapter 41 Someone Died
The sun had already set when he got home. Qiao Mu looked at the gloomy sky and said, "Put the chickens in our house."

Song Zhiqing responded and walked towards the back of the house. Song Keqing also followed behind him: "Why do you put chickens in the house?" The chickens are all free-range. There is a piece of land enclosed by a fence behind the house. The chickens are there on weekdays. Song Keqing brought vegetables to feed the chickens, but no matter how careful she was, she would never let the chickens run into the front yard.

"Just do it, don't ask why." Song Zhiqing touched Song Keqing's hair: "I will go out to get food these two days and take the cat with me. My mother and I will turn off the lights and go to bed early in the evening."

"Take them all with you." Song Keqing liked Meiyin very much, and gave Meiyin food as soon as possible. It had only been a few days, and she would take Meiyin wherever she went.

"Yeah!" Song Zhiqing felt relieved. With Meiyin here, ordinary things wouldn't hurt Keqing.But what happened in the village?

"Your village has been in a bad situation lately, there are going to be deaths." Seeing Qiao Mu entering the house, Meiyin followed closely behind, and Lu Yan also climbed into the window from the roof.

The one who spoke was Lu Yan, his voice was lazily, and his snake eyes were standing upright, looking somewhat meaningful as he glanced at Mei Yin.

Meiyin hid far away from Lu Yan. Lu Yan glanced lightly, and Meiyin's head almost shrank behind Qiao Mu.

Recently, Qiao Mu went out without her, and she felt frightened when she saw Lu Yan, especially when Lu Yan got close to her and got wrapped around her tail. In order to force Lu Yan away, she followed Song Keqing closely.

Lu Yan was afraid of scaring the little girl, so she lay on the roof to prevent others from seeing her.

Qiao Mu knew, but this life was bound to happen: "If there is a cause, there will be an effect, and no one can stop it."

Whoever stops it, the fault will fall on him.

"Aren't you going to save people?" Lu Yan asked curiously, and Meiyin was also curious about Qiao Mu's thoughts.

"It can't be saved!" Qiao Mu said in a calm voice, "And they have nothing to do with me." So she didn't have to bear the karma for those people, and besides, the karma was also caused by them.

"What if something happens to Song Zhiqing? Will you go and save him?" Lu Yan's tail went around Qiao Mu and hooked Meiyin's tail. The fur all over Meiyin's body exploded, but she couldn't help it.

Qiao Mu ignored Meiyin's look for help. Luyan would not hurt Meiyin. When she heard this question, she frowned: "He is blessed with good fortune, wealth and longevity, and nothing will happen to him."

Lu Yan's eyes moved but he said nothing. Then the door was opened, and Song Zhiqing came in. He glanced at Meiyin and Lu Yan, ignored their entanglement, and only said to Qiao Mu: "The chicken is in a cage and placed at the door. , we can also take care of it at night.”

Qiao Mu nodded and focused on Lu Yan.

Lu Yan: "..." He instantly knew what Qiao Mu was thinking: "You let me look at the chicken, so you're not afraid that I'll eat it? I've been very hungry lately!"

"If you are hungry, just eat." Song Zhiqing said, asking others to help protect the chickens, they must be fed.

"I'll catch the prey next time." Qiao Mu said seriously.

Song Zhiqing smiled, Qiao Mu is so cute!

Lu Yan: "...You two have a tacit understanding." He flicked his tail and let go of Mei Yin, who jumped to the farthest place from Lu Yan.

"By the way, I met Taoist Master Zizhen today." Song Zhiqing told him about Zizhen's visit to Luyan.

Lu Yan opened his mouth and hissed with his forked tongue: "Tian Yi Guan is the most noisy, just don't say it." Lu Yan didn't like to listen to the reasoning of those in Tian Yi Guan. Every year they came, he himself avoided it every year. Go elsewhere, but sometimes you will still be found: "They think there are still one or two people who are capable."

"Tsk, it's God's will. Things in your village won't cause too much trouble. We'll really find you in a few days." Lu Yan's erect snake eyes turned to the window. The sun had set outside, and darkness was slowly spreading. the earth.

night.

"Hmm!"

"Hmm-"

"Mom, what's this sound? I'm scared!"

"Shh! Don't be afraid. Go to bed quickly. You won't hear it anymore when you fall asleep." The woman's whisper slowly disappeared.

As for what the sound was... the woman covered the ears of the son in her arms.

It was a crow, the crow that kills people.Legend has it that when a person is about to die, his body emits the aura of death, and crows smell the smell and come.

In whose house the crow crows, there is a dying person in that house.

So the crow's call is considered ominous.The shrill and strange sounds continued, and the young woman hugged the child tightly in her arms and fell into sleep.

The night was quiet, and the breath of terror enveloped the night bit by bit.

"Creak-" The sound of the door being opened was particularly clear in the silent night.

"Who?"

"Uh--"

"Son, what's the matter?"

"Dad, did you hear anything?"

"I didn't hear that. What are you thinking about when you're still up at midnight?" The person on the bed mumbled and turned around and fell asleep again.

"You old man knows how to sleep... I don't know what's going on, but I haven't felt at ease tonight!" The woman frowned and listened carefully to the sounds outside, but there was no sound except the sound of the wind blowing the door.

She looked at the hazy night by the window and fell into a deep sleep again.

……

"son!"

As dawn broke, a shrill cry woke up the sleeping people.

Qiao Mu suddenly woke up.

"What's wrong?" Song Zhiqing was in a daze, and when he heard Qiao Mu sitting up, he slowly opened his eyes.

It was not bright outside yet, but after three rooster crows, the moonlight disappeared, replaced by the early morning birdsong and dawn light, with a hint of golden color, hitting the window sill.

"Someone died."

Song Zhiqing was completely awake: "Who died?"

"In that direction." Qiao Mu pointed to the southwest of the window.

Song Zhiqing stood up and opened the window. It was a sunny day today, white clouds dotted the blue sky, and a red sun was rising on the top of the mountain. The unknown birds chirped and the breeze brought the sound of leaves into the morning notes.

A few chickens were croaking in the yard looking for food, and there was a trace of smoke rising in the distance. Some people had already prepared breakfast.

But other than that, there was no other sound.

Song Zhiqing turned his head, and Qiao Mu also came to the window. Her eyes were on the horizon, and her eyes were as black as a pool of ink. Song Zhiqing felt a sudden chill in his heart, and he grabbed Qiao Mu's hand.

The thick calluses on his hands spread to Song Zhiqing's palms with a soft warmth. His fingertips trembled slightly, and he let go of his hands when Qiao Mu returned to normal but confused eyes: "It's okay... I'm just afraid that your hands will be cold."

"Oh... why are your ears red?" Qiao Mu's eyes fell on Song Zhiqing's red ears in a blink of an eye.

Song Zhiqing: "...it's a little hot..." After saying that, he asked again: "Can't I save him?"

He didn't ask Qiao Mu why he knew someone was dead. This was Qiao Mu's secret. He was interested, but he also knew that asking rashly would be a bad idea, and he also knew that he didn't want to embarrass Qiao Mu.

"No rescue!" Qiao Mu's voice contained a hint of coldness: "We can't save him either."

Song Zhiqing knew that this death was different from what happened to Liu Mingfeng last time.

"Is it related to the grievances that Taoist Master Zizhen mentioned?" Song Zhiqing pulled Qiao Mu towards the bed: "It's still early. You can sleep for a while longer and I'll go take a look."

"Yes." Qiao Mu responded: "Don't go, you will be full of resentment and you will be unlucky if you encounter him!"

"There are still people to die, and there's nothing you can do if you go!"
