Chapter 2 Spider
  People who are wandering in the heavy rain and blown by the wind are a little wet.

At this moment, Zhang Quan was looking at the slender girl in front of him with some despair.

The girl holds an umbrella with black and white fishes connected in her hand. She is wearing a white dress with a circle of small copper coins hanging on the side of her waist. Two thin red ropes are looming on her wrists, and two stars are hung on the red rope. The little bell will make a crisp tinkling sound from time to time when it shakes.

He tried his best to put a smile on his face: "Little sister, why don't you go home so late at night?"

"You smell so good." The girl muttered.

When Zhang Quan heard this, his hair went numb.

Because just five minutes ago, the monster who was still in his house said the same thing.

He even began to think about whether he had sprayed perfume. Looking back on most of his life, he even remembered that he didn't take a shower last night because he was lazy.

After thinking for a while, he finally came to only one conclusion, whether it was the monster behind him or the girl in front of him.

Both men had problems with their noses.

Fortunately, the girl smelled it carefully and found that the scent seemed to only stick to the other person's body, not emanate from him.

Fu Zhaozhao moved his nose slightly, looking through the other person as if to see something in the living room.

Apparently the scent came from something in the house.

Fu Zhaozhao's heart felt hot, but he still asked politely, "Can I come in?"

Zhang Quan was stunned for a moment, his head didn't react, and he agreed smoothly, "Okay."

As soon as these words came out, Spider Woman, who was still sleeping quietly in the room, cursed in her heart and quickly put on the layer of skin she just wore.

If Fu Zhaozhao hadn't suddenly appeared, she would have had a full meal just now.

But when he saw the string of purple and red copper coins hanging on the other side's waist, he had to resist his desire.

five minutes later.

Fu Zhaozhao, Spider Woman, and Zhang Quan form a triangle.

To be precise, Fu Zhaozhao was staring at the other two people.

Spider Woman's face turned blue and white for a while when she was stared at. She had to bite the bullet and could barely control her desire to run away.

The atmosphere was obviously too awkward.

Maybe the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable. Zhang Quan, who had just escaped from death, didn't know what to think. He weakly asked: "How about I pour you a cup of hot water?"

Spider Woman stared at him with cold eyes and said in a cold tone: "No need."

Fu Zhaozhao said reservedly, "Is there hot milk?"

Zhang Quan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I'll get it for you."

After a while.

Fu Zhaozhao took a sip of hot milk, but his eyes wandered around Spider Woman's body, seeming to be thinking of some evil idea.

Probably feeling uncomfortable being stared at by her, Spider-Woman said in a bad tone: "Have you seen enough?"

This question was asked to Fu Zhaozhao.

Fu Zhaozhao pursed his lips and smiled: "That's almost it."

These words made Spider-Girl's teeth itch with anger. But soon, Fu Zhaozhao's eyes turned to Zhang Quan, who had been silent just now, and suddenly asked: "Brother, do you want to hear a story?"

Zhang Quan didn't expect that the fire would turn around and burn on himself, so he could only nod his head and say "Hello".

Fu Zhaozhao immediately described the story vividly.

"There used to be a village where there was a long-term drought. People often starved to death because they couldn't eat. Because of this, the village prayed to gods and Buddhas a lot, but it had no effect at all."

"Suddenly one day, a Taoist priest came to the village and provided a prescription..."

Fu Zhaozhao paused for a moment and glanced at Spider Woman. He did not explain the contents of the recipe, but continued, "Later, after everyone tried that recipe, the village had a bumper harvest every year, and even in other villages there were droughts. When people starve to death and exchange their children for food, the village can still be self-sufficient and have enough food and clothing.”

"Until one day, disaster struck the village."

Zhang Quan listened with some concentration, waiting for the rest of the part.

Fu Zhaozhao waved his hand and said, "This story ends here."

Zhang Quan was a little stupid after hearing this, "That's it?"

Fu Zhaozhao nodded, "That's all I know. I have to ask her the rest."

Spider Woman, who was sitting quietly on the side, sneered when she heard this, and said, "Your story has no meaning at all." She turned to look at Zhang Quan and said in a faint tone, "I'll tell you another version."

"The Taoist priest gave me a method, which is called raising happy children."

"To raise Xizi, you need to find a large number of spiders, and then lock the spiders with young children. The younger the children, the higher the success rate. The more poisonous the spiders, the better the Xizi you raise will attract wealth and bring good weather."

Spider Woman's voice became softer and softer, and her whole body seemed to have returned to the scene that day.

"This is a great good thing. If the Taoist hadn't said that your Xiaoshi is just the right age and has a strong character, such a good thing wouldn't have been his turn!" The old village chief said as if he didn't know what he was doing.

The woman held the little boy's hand tightly and cried out of breath. "Village Chief, Xiaoshi is still too young. He can't bear it. Please, Village Chief."

The man on the side also begged, "Village Chief, I only have Xiaoshi, and I will not have other children in the future. Village Chief, please have mercy on our family. If it doesn't work, we can just move out of the village."

The old village chief threw away the other party's hand angrily, "Speaking of this, you should be more grateful to the village for taking you in. If it hadn't been for everyone's kindness in taking you in, you would have died outside long ago."

After saying this, the old village chief signaled to the people around him, and the others immediately stepped forward to grab people together.

Maybe the pulling force was a bit strong, the little boy cried extremely loudly in pain, and the scene seemed a bit chaotic.

Finally, the woman let go of the little boy's hand and knelt down in front of the old village chief with a look of despair.

"Village chief, use me, use me to raise Xizi!" the woman cried.

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

The old village chief frowned and was about to speak when the woman continued: "Xiao Shi is too young. He won't be able to hold on. If he dies before being raised, all his previous efforts will be in vain."

"I'm different. I'm not afraid of pain. I can use more poisonous spiders. I can hold on and become a happy child and bring blessings to the village." The woman kept kowtowing as she spoke.

Perhaps the last words impressed the old village chief. After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to ask the Taoist priest.

When he finally learned from the other party that women could raise happy children, the old village chief led people to take the woman away overnight.

The process of raising a happy child is extremely painful and unbearable, but as long as she thinks of her own child, no matter how painful it is, the woman can endure it.

Until she accidentally learned something...
