Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 46 It’s my friend
Fan Shiyi was surrounded by yamen runners led by Captain Leng.

But Fan Shiyi doesn't like this feeling.

It's good to be flattered by others, but Fan Shiyi likes to be flattered by beautiful women.

Fan Shiyi doesn't like or is extremely disgusted with having contact with men.

After all, Fan Shiyi was a fourth-grade cultivator, and she quickly slipped out from the crowd.

Fan Shiyi stared at Xiaobai with sparkling eyes. She wanted to borrow Xiaobai to play with.

Xiaobai is a monster that can transform, which means she is a woman to some extent.

Fan Shiyi just saw Xiaobai’s cat-eared girl form, it was so cute.

Fan Shiyi couldn't wait to pet and hug the cat.

Xiaobai was frightened by Fan Shiyi and crawled into Zhou Ping's arms.

"Master Fan, Xiaobai is a little scared of you."

Zhou Ping looked embarrassed. Xiaobai's reaction said it all.

Fan Shiyi wanted to say something else.

"Hey, escort, since Master Fan wants it, you should give it to him."

"Yeah, just a cat."

"Zhou Ping, it was Master Fan who saved us just now."

"Yes, without Master Fan, you would have been eaten by rats long ago."

The bailiffs looked unfriendly and surrounded Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping frowned slightly.

"Your name is Zhou Ping, right?"

"Just a cat."

"Since Master Fan likes it, just give it to him. Just tell me how much it is and I'll pay for it."

Captain Leng also said.

When there was a rat infestation just now, it was thanks to the cat drawn by Fan Shiyi, otherwise these people would have been either dead or half-crippled.

Another thing is that the yamen runners all thought that it was Fan Shiyi who drove away the rat demon.

Zhou Ping frowned even more tightly, but still shook his head.

"Xiaobai is not mine. It follows me, and I am willing to let it follow me. As for its wishes, where it wants to go is its freedom."

"I have no right to interfere."

"In other words, it's my friend, not my slave or property."

Zhou Ping said slowly.

Xiaobai snuggled in Zhou Ping's arms, looking at him with stars in her eyes.

Fan Shiyi listened to Zhou Ping's words, thoughtful.

The ghost bride next to Zhou Ping was holding a ghost baby, her body trembling slightly, and it was unknown what she felt.

But for the yamen runners and Captain Leng, Zhou Ping's words were really hard to understand.

Not to mention cats, even women are men’s property in this era.

A man can give his woman to whomever he wants.

"Zhou Ping, you don't know what's good for you."

"That's right. Captain Leng is willing to pay for it."

"Zhou Ping, are you going to give it to me or not?"

The yamen runners surrounded Zhou Ping even more tightly.

The surrounding surface was shining coldly.

Zhou Ping has always been patient.

Everyone thought Zhou Ping had no real ability.

But Zhou Ping forgot one thing.

"A good man will be bullied by others; a good horse will be ridden by others."

In this world, if you show too weak, you will be bullied.

"What are you doing?"

The people from the escort agency rushed forward and protected Zhou Ping.

For a moment, the escort agency and the yamen runners formed two factions, pushing each other and were about to clash.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, the rat demon was just scared away."

"That rat demon has at least an eighth-grade cultivation base."

"The rat demon was just scared away, not defeated by me. It will come back sooner or later."

"Let's hurry up and get going."

Fan Shiyi frowned. She also didn't like the style of the yamen runners.

The overbearing style of the yamen runners shows that they are used to abusing their power.

I don't know how these yamen runners usually bully the people in the village.

After all, Fan Shiyi is a Confucian fourth-rank official. Her words still count.

After Fan Shiyi finished speaking, the scene became a little quieter.

"Mr. Fan, you can't say that."

Captain Leng suddenly spoke.

Captain Leng is the boss of the yamen runners, and they listen to him more.

Captain Leng’s purpose is very simple, to force Zhou Ping to give Xiaobai to Fan Shiyi.

In Captain Leng’s opinion, since Fan Shiyi likes it, he must give it to her!
Fan Shiyi just said that the rat demon is of the eighth grade!

Captain Leng thought that he had little chance of winning against an eighth-rank monster, and even if he won, he would suffer heavy losses.

So Captain Leng had to ask Fan Shiyi for help.

Although Fan Shiyi said no, Captain Leng thought that Fan Shiyi was just playing the good guy.

Captain Leng believes that Fan Shiyi still wants Xiaobai deep down in his heart.

Although he didn't know why Fan Shiyi was so fond of Xiaobai, Captain Leng still wanted to get Xiaobai for Fan Shiyi.

Fan Shiyi was not short of money, he had everything. This was the only thing that Leng the captain could do to please Fan Shiyi.

Having made up his mind, Captain Leng prepared to fight hard.

On the yamen runners' side, apart from Captain Leng who was of the ninth rank, there were two who were of the tenth rank.

There are two tenth-grade officials in the escort agency.

"My fellow escorts, you have seen it too. If it weren't for Master Fan, we would all be dead here."

"Anyone who obstructs me today will be an enemy of me, Leng, and of Qinghe County, and of the people in Qingyuan County who have suffered and have no food to eat after the war."

"Think carefully about yourself, your wife and children."

Captain Leng said in a loud voice.

After Captain Leng finished speaking, the detectives gloated over his misfortune, while the escorts remained silent.

"Zhou Ping, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, Zhou Ping, there's nothing we can do."

The two tenth-rank officers of the escort agency were the leaders of this trip, and they had no choice.

Captain Leng said this with great righteousness!
What's more, these bodyguards' home is Qinghe County.

Captain Leng had just threatened the escorts' families.

This hit the bodyguards' soft spot.

Who is the family?
Seeing the escorts make way for Zhou Ping, Captain Leng strode towards Zhou Ping.

Fan Shiyi was shaking with anger.

Even if Captain Leng wanted Xiaobai, Fan Shiyi would not accept him.

Fan Shiyi was a Confucian scholar of the fourth rank, but he risked his own life to save the entire Qinghe County.

Fan Shiyi's character does not allow her to do such an immoral thing.

Fan Shiyi grew up in the capital, and because of his status, he rarely saw any bad things.

This trip to Qinghe County made her deeply realize the dangers of the world.

In such a life-and-death crisis, no one cares whether you are a fourth-grade person or not.

What's more, they are doing this under the banner of doing things for you?
Captain Leng strode towards Zhou Ping.

Xiaobai was trembling in Zhou Ping's arms.

Captain Leng was about to come in front of Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping's eyes turned cold and he was ready to take action.

Captain Leng is a ninth-rank warrior.

Although Zhou Ping is of the tenth rank, his Confucianism, martial arts, Buddhism and Taoism are all of the tenth rank.

The spiritual energy in Zhou Ping's body is comparable to the ninth level.

It's still unclear who will be able to beat whom.

What's more, Zhou Ping has many magical weapons on him.

Captain Leng was about to come to Zhou Ping, and Zhou Ping drew his knife to deal with him.

Suddenly, Captain Leng’s eyes widened and he stepped back violently, as if he had seen a ghost.

Not only Captain Leng, but also the yamen runners and bodyguards retreated one after another.

In an instant, a piece of open space appeared in front of Zhou Ping.

The person closest to Zhou Ping is Fan Shiyi.

Everyone else stayed away.

The tunnel suddenly turned red.

Zhou Ping was a little puzzled. What the hell was he seeing?
Captain Leng and the others all had expressions of fear and alertness on their faces.

Fan Shiyi was completely different. She fetched a paper fan from somewhere, waved it gently, and looked behind Zhou Ping with interest.

Zhou Ping turned his head and looked behind him.

Half a body behind Zhou Ping, it turned out to be the ghost bride! Captain Leng and others were frightened by the ghost bride.

The story of the ghost bride spread like wildfire in Qinghe County. The entire Qinghe County knew the whole story of the ghost bride.

Everyone in the county is cursing Mr. He!

For Leng Butou and other warriors, their focus was on the fact that the ghost bride had actually defeated the abbot of Jinhua Temple in Qingyuan County.

The abbot of Jinhua Temple is also of the ninth rank.

Captain Leng had fought with the abbot of Jinhua Temple and knew that the abbot of Jinhua Temple was stronger than himself.

The Ghost Bride can even defeat the abbot of Jinhua Temple, which shows how powerful the Ghost Bride is.

What's more, warriors are not good at dealing with ghosts.

"My fellow countrymen, Zhou Ping is the man I've chosen. I hope you can show some mercy."

The ghost bride bowed slightly and knelt down to bow.

After he finished speaking, the entire tunnel fell silent.

Zhou Ping's mouth twitched slightly. He knew that the ghost bride was speaking up for him, telling others that he was protected by her.

But the word "husband" made Zhou Ping feel mixed emotions.

"She probably said that just to protect me."

"I just felt sorry for her and saved her."

"I didn't expect she would help me twice! The first time, I almost lost my soul."

"In order to help me this time, you even ruined your own reputation."

Zhou Ping thought, this girl is really kind-hearted, even if she becomes a ghost she is still kind-hearted.

Fan Shiyi's eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Fan Shiyi had only seen stories of human-ghost love in novels, so he himself wanted to have a ghost lover.

However, most ghosts are evil ghosts, and those like the ghost bride who have extremely kind intentions are a minority after all.

Fan Shiyi's back teeth were all crushed. He felt so unlike himself. Why not me?
The bailiffs and constables looked at Zhou Ping with complicated expressions.

In this tunnel, life is in danger at any time. With the protection of the ghost bride, you can save your life.

But if a living person is targeted by a ghost, he will most likely die.

This made the yamen runners and constables wonder whether to envy Zhou Ping or pity him.

"Captain Leng, what do you think?"

The ghost bride is well-educated and knows the key to this matter.

Captain Leng is the key to this matter.

"This"

Captain Leng glanced at Fan Shiyi secretly.

Warriors are not good at dealing with ghosts, but Confucians are very good at dealing with ghosts.

As long as Fan Shiyi says a word, Captain Leng will still choose to attack Zhou Ping.

As long as Fan Shiyi can deal with the ghost bride.

"Captain Leng, you have a wife and children."

"You don't want your wife to be possessed by a ghost and crawl into someone else's bed in the middle of the night, do you?"

The ghost bride spoke again.

Captain Leng's face changed drastically.

Ghosts come and go without a trace.

If the ghost bride escapes, she will definitely fight to the death with Captain Leng, and her own relatives will inevitably be implicated.

Thinking of this, Captain Leng suddenly smiled.

"Girl, you're joking. Since Zhou Ping is your husband, we will naturally not do anything to him."

Captain Leng was no longer thinking about how to please Fan Shiyi at this time. He just wanted to not offend the ghost bride.

The price to pay for offending the ghost bride is too high. The escorts looked at the cold head of the police, gloating over his misfortune.

Just now, Captain Leng threatened the escorts' families.

Now Captain Leng is threatened by the ghost bride again.

It really is what happens in life!
"Let's go quickly, the rat demon may attack us at any time."

Fan Shiyi said coldly.

Captain Leng felt bitter, he didn't expect to end up losing more than he gained. He not only failed to please Fan Shiyi, but also offended a ghost bride.

Captain Leng really regretted taking on this mission.

"set off!"

At a command from Captain Leng, the grain transport convoy set off again.

While no one was paying attention, Zhou Ping touched a dying mouse with his left hand and left.

At this moment, the demon absorbed the mouse's soul.

Zhou Ping walked at the end of the team, and the ghost bride and ghost baby were not too far away.

Zhou Ping began to receive the mouse's memory.

This was Zhou Ping’s second time absorbing memories, the first time was from the black-robed man Li Fei.

This time it's from the mouse's perspective.

Zhou Ping experienced the animal world.

The mouse's memory began with the time it stole food.

It originally lived in a rice shop.

Therefore, mice live a more comfortable life and eat better.

Later, the rice shop closed down and the mice's life became much worse.

The house is not occupied because it is under renovation.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the mice did not starve to death because of the food they had stored previously.

Just two months after the rice shop moved out, the house welcomed a new owner.

The rice shop turned into a rouge shop.

The owners of the rouge shop were He Yunqing and Liu Ruyan, mother and daughter.

Zhou Ping suddenly understood.

It turned out that this mouse was a mouse from the rouge shop.

After the rouge shop came, mice started to steal rouge.

But this rouge is really unpalatable.

The mouse almost thought that its happy life was coming to an end, and it even had the idea of ​​moving.

There is really not much profit in the rouge shop.

What’s even more terrifying is that there is a white cat next to the owner of the rouge shop.

The white cat made the mice even more frightened.

But later, the mouse stole some leftovers in the kitchen.

These leftovers suddenly opened up a new world for the mice.

Although there was plenty of rice in the rice shop, it was tasteless and dry.

The leftovers at Rouge Shop were plentiful and tasted excellent.

When the mouse ate meat for the first time, it was so happy that it was willing to die the next moment.

Despite the presence of its natural enemies, the mouse decided to stay in the Rouge Shop.

The rouge shop keeps the mice fat and plump.

The mouse became more and more daring, and would wander around the rouge shop as long as the white cat was not around.

"This is?"

Zhou Ping's nose felt hot and almost bled.

The mouse climbed on the beam and saw He Yunqing taking a bath.

He Yunqing had a slim figure and fair skin. She was taking off her clothes, leaving only her underwear.

However, the next moment, the mouse may have felt that the scene was not good and changed its perspective.

This also resulted in Zhou Ping being unable to see He Yunqing taking off his clothes.

"Take off your pants and show me this!"

There are no erotic scenes from the mouse's perspective.

Zhou Ping calmed down and continued to look at the mouse's memory. He wanted to find out why the rat demon attacked them.

Captain Leng guessed that the rats were after food.

But just now the rats only attacked people, and no rats stole food.

The rats' target seems to be people, not food.

But suddenly one day, a sound reached the mouse's ears.

The voice ordered the mouse to go find it.

The mouse instinctively wanted to resist, but the voice was so misleading that it left the rouge shop in confusion.

This voice belongs to the rat demon.

The rat demon entered the tunnel, controlling groups of rats.

Next, the rat demon gave the order to attack the grain transport convoy.

The rat demon’s order was to kill everyone!
After Zhou Ping finished reading the mouse's memory, he stepped out.

"There is indeed something fishy."

The rat demon's order was to kill people, not to steal food.

If they were just after the food, the rats should have taken advantage of the chaos to steal some, but they did not.

"There's something fishy about this mission!"

Zhou Ping said secretly.

"Yeah, you have a cat on this mission."

Fan Shiyi said at the side, but her eyes were still fixed on Xiaobai in Zhou Ping's arms. She took out a green pill from her arms.

"Little guy, come here. I have some medicine to eat."
