Chapter 1: Daughter-in-law is gone (Part 1)
Beizhou, Chumen Town.
The seventh night of the seventh month.
The night sky is covered with dark clouds and heavy rain is pouring down.
There is a dilapidated house at the east end of the town, and there is nothing decent in the house. There is a mottled small table beside the earthen kang, and an oil lamp is lit on the table.
A six or seven-year-old girl was curled up at the corner of the kang, and a broken quilt was wrapped around her body.
The dim oil lamp reflected her pale and slightly confused little face.
The girl's body was trembling.
After a while, the door creaked open and a boy came in with a chicken in his arms. The boy was only eight or nine years old, and his tender face actually had a wild breath. He was surrounded by a hunting knife more than one foot long.
The boy was wet all over. He wiped the rain on his face, then walked to the kang and shook the chicken in front of the girl.
The boy smiled and said, "Wife, look at how fat this chicken is. Give you a good supplement and your illness will be cured."
This boy's name is Chu Lang.
Speaking of Chu Lang's life experience, it is really bizarre. A few years ago, a hunter surnamed Chu entered a wolf's den, and there were several wolf cubs in the cave. The hunter was surprised that there was a two or three-year-old child among the wolf cubs. This child crawled with his limbs like a wolf and was quick to move.
The child bared his white teeth and his eyes were full of anger, and he let out a threatening wolf howl at the hunter.
The hunter killed several young wolves, but he felt compassion when facing the "wolf child".
The hunter brought the "Wolf Child" back.
The hunter is a widower and a widower, and he raises this "wolf baby" as his son.
The hunter's surname is Chu, and the child picked it up from the wolf's den, so he named him: Chu Lang.
The hunter teaches Chu Lang to speak, walk, and eat cooked food, and try to transform Chu Lang from a wild "wolf cub" to a normal child.
Three years ago, the hunter passed away due to illness, leaving Chu Lang a dilapidated house and a hunting knife.
Chu Lang was only five years old that year. He survived tenaciously in this miserable world where the strong prey on the weak with too many tenacity than his children of the same age.
The girl looked at the chicken in Chu Lang's hand and said in a weak voice: "Brother Wolf, I'm so cold... I'm going to die, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the chicken..."
Chu Lang jumped onto the kang and wrapped another blanket around the girl.
"Damn it, if you die, I will have no wife. So you can't die. When you grow up, you have to give birth to a lot of 'wolf cubs' for me. Do you understand!"
The girl said in a crying voice: "I understand...I don't want to die either..."
Chu Lang still doesn’t know her name in the little girl on the bed, and where she comes from.
The girl was picked up by Chu Lang half a year ago.
That day, Chu Lang was chasing a rabbit in the mountains. His extremely sensitive ears heard a moan. Chu Lang looked for the sound and finally found the girl in a pit covered with weeds.
The girl was covered in blood and looked dazed.
Chu Lang took the girl home and cleaned her up. It surprised Chu Lang. The girl was so beautiful that she was so beautiful. Chu Lang had never seen such a beautiful girl. Chu Lang asked the girl about her origin and name, but the girl had experienced the disaster and was somewhat abnormal in her spirit, so she couldn't say it.
Someone urged Chu Lang to sell the girl to a wealthy family for silver flowers. Chu Lang thought that he was poor and could not get a wife when he grew up, let alone such a beautiful wife. Chu Lang kept the girl to take care of her and became a wife.
Chu Lang went to the stove to boil water and prepared to remove the chicken feathers for his wife to stew chicken.
At this moment, the door was kicked open with his feet.
Three men wearing raincoats broke in.
The leader is a man with a fierce face.
When the man saw the chicken in Chu Lang's hand, he angrily said, "Wolf cub, it's really you who stole our master's chicken. He even killed the master's favorite dog! You are tired of living!"
It turned out that Chu Lang went to Liu Caizhu’s house to steal chickens and was discovered by a dog. Chu Lang simply killed the dog.
Chu Lang was not panicked, and he smiled mockingly on his little face.
"Butler Peng, there are hundreds of people in this town, why do you insist that I steal your master's chicken?!"
"There are indeed hundreds of people in the town, but only you, the brave wolf cub, dares to steal our master's chicken and kill our master's dog!" Butler Peng stared at Chu Lang fiercely. At this moment, he was full of resentment towards this "wolf cub". "Wolf cub, I want to catch your wife back to pay off the debt!"
Chu Lang held the chicken in one hand and pulled out the hunting knife by his waist with the other, and his eyes became like an angry beast that made people uneasy.
"Whoever dares to touch my wife, I will fight with you!"
"Do you think you are really afraid of you, a furry child! Hunting someone for me!" Butler Peng shouted at his two subordinates.
The two men rushed towards the side of the kang. At this moment, a light green glowing thin line suddenly flashed into the house, sank into the back of one of the men.
The man suddenly felt trembling in pain, and his seven orifices were bleeding, and his whole face became distorted, which was extremely terrifying. Then the man howled and fell to the ground. The blood flowed out all over the ground.
The smell of blood also spread throughout the house.
A strange atmosphere also dissipated in the house with the blood.
This mutation shocked Butler Peng and another subordinate.
Chu Lang was also shocked, but he took the opportunity to shout: "My wife is a fairy who came to the mortal world and was blessed by gods. Whoever dared to steal her would be retribution! This is retribution!"
"Yes, this is retribution..." Suddenly, a dark voice sounded.
The sound comes from the door.
Chu Lang, butler Peng and servants, and the little girl on the kang all turned her eyes to the door.
There was a person standing at the door.
The man was not wearing any rain gear. He was wearing a black robe and covered in long hair. The rain fell on the robe with a gloss of water. His long hair was also flowing with rain.
He wore a terrifying ghost mask on his face.
On this night of lightning and thunder, he felt like a ghost.
If this person hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have known what he was standing at the door.
Chu Lang understood that the servant was killed by this person who looked like a ghost.
Neither Chu Lang nor Butler Peng had seen such a terrifying martial art. In their opinion, this was simply a skill of ghosts and gods. The two even suspected that they had really hit the ghosts.
At this moment, the window made a shattering sound, and an iron chain broke into the window. At the top of the chain was an iron cone the size of a fist. The iron chain was winding like a snake and flew towards the remaining servant. The iron cone penetrated into the servant's body, and the servant's body was tilted up and was pulled out of the window by the iron chain. Then a creepy scream rang out in the rainy night.
This rainy night adds a bit of horror.
Not only there are people at the door, but there are also outside the window.
Also horrible.
Manager Peng was so shocked that he was not possessed, and Chu Lang's face was also full of fear, but the hunting knife in his hand was tighter.
The little girl on the kang seemed not afraid.
Her eyes were staring at the ghost face of the man at the door, and her confused eyes were as if she was revived. She seemed to recognize this ghost face.
The ghost-faced man at the door flashed and entered the room. At the same time, the strange iron chain outside the window entered the body of Butler Peng again like a snake. Butler Peng screamed, and the iron chain was closed, and Butler Peng's body flew out of the window.
The ghost-faced man stared at the little girl on the kang and walked slowly over.
Although Chu Lang was afraid at this moment, in order to protect his wife, Chu Lang became anxious. He suddenly let out a scream like a wolf howl and threw away the chicken in his left hand and rushed towards the ghost-faced man, and slashed at the ghost-faced man's legs with his right hunting knife.
Just as the hunting knife was about to be chopped on the Ghost Face Man's leg, Chu Lang suddenly felt that his arm was hit by a force and the hunting knife in his hand also fell down. Chu Lang's man also flew up, and the Ghost Face Man reached out to grab Chu Lang's neckline and lifted Chu Lang in front of him.
The ferocious ghost faced Chu Lang's little face.
The ghost-faced man said in a cold tone: "At a young age, he is brave enough! He is cruel enough! But you have to die too. As long as you have seen us, you have to die!"
At this moment, the little girl on the kang lifted the quilt wrapped around her body and shouted loudly at the ghost-faced man with excitement.
