When Zhong Kui heard Xiao Huya say that their seven children were from Menling Village, he was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.

How did so many children survive? It was simply impossible for a weak woman to safely transport these children out of Menling Village.

Going back two or three years, the eldest among the children is Xiao Huya, who is only eleven years old, and the youngest is only seven or eight years old. Where are they hiding and what are they eating? These questions are all filled with questions at once.

Full of Zhongkui's thoughts.

Zhong Kui looked at the little Huya next to him and asked seriously: "Do you believe what I said, brother?"

"Xiao Huya nodded and said: "Sister Xiaoqing said that except for her, we must all listen to you."

Xiao Qing? Who is she? She seems to know herself very well. Zhong Kui thought for a moment, smiled bitterly and continued to look at Xiao Huya and said: "Do you still remember who your parents are?"

As soon as Zhong Kui asked this, the tears on Huyahua's face had not completely dried. Tears welled up in Xiao Huya's eyes again, and he cried sadly: "Remember, my mother is dead and my father's whereabouts are unknown."

"What does your father do?"

"My mother said she went out to make a lot of money and pick things for people."

Zhong Kui was startled and said to himself, "Porter! It seems that Little Huya is the child of the old woman named Vanilla. Could it be that Xiao Qing is Vanilla?"

"Where did you stay before? You won't always stay in this ruined temple, right?"

When Zhong Kui asked this question, Little Huya glanced at him in confusion, then moved his eyes away to look at Little Chrysanthemum who was silent at the side.

Little Juhua knew that Little Huya was seeking her opinion on whether to tell the big brother in front of her where she lived.

Little Chrysanthemum nodded to Little Huya, and turned back her gaze, still holding her chin and squinting at the blue water of the pool in a daze.

"We are coming from where we are, and we are going to where we are going. It's better that my brother doesn't know."

Xiao Juhua's answer was so strange that Zhong Kui was slightly startled and didn't know how to respond. Then he thought about it and said, "Do you know the Purple Bamboo Forest?"

When they heard about the Purple Bamboo Forest, the children glanced at each other with empty eyes. They were lifeless and silent. Little Juhua turned around and looked away. Looking at her face from the side, she looked very sad.

Why do they look like this? Zhong Kui stared at the rippling pool in confusion.

I listened to the children whispering in my ears, and my mind was active and daydreaming: These children must be found a safe place to settle down, and they can no longer be left without a fixed place and wandering around at a young age.

As ideas popped up, Zhong Kui naturally thought of a person.

This person is Chen Zhiqing, but how can he find Uncle Chen?

Zhong Kui remembered that they lived in Old Man Xia's house before. Old Man Xia's house was a ready-made residence, but what would Zhong Hansheng do if he knew about it?

Zhong Kui felt that he should not worry about all that, he had to contact Chen Zhiqing first.

Zhong Kui and his children returned to the temple from the pond and found a package hidden under the silk thatch.

This package was wrapped in a beautiful silk scarf. When Zhong Kui took out the package, he was surprised to find that the bow tied on the package looked familiar.

Zhong Kui will never forget that escape for the rest of his life. The package sent by Vanilla and the bow tie were also like this.

The question of Xiaoqing being a vanilla was deeply rooted in Zhong Kui's mind. He secretly made up his mind to find Xiaoqing after settling the children.

As expected, the package contained food for the children, including white flour steamed buns, corn steamed buns, maltose, etc.

The children were eating, and Zhong Kui said a few simple words to the little chrysanthemum, walked out of the ruined temple, and instantly melted into the vast night.

The entrance to the courtyard of Old Man Xia's home was tilted to one side, and a smell hit his nostrils when he entered the courtyard.

Zhong Kui used the dim night light to carefully look at something smelly lying in the courtyard.

I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw this. I guess it was a scoundrel lying on the ground? Oh my God! Zhong Kui slapped his head hard. He cursed in a low voice: Damn it! Who killed the scoundrel?

After scolding him, he quickly went into the house to see if there was anything unusual. Zhong Kui put down the dead body and quickly entered the house in the dark. He fumbled out a box of matches that seemed to be wet from the stove.

, I pulled out one but couldn't get any sparks out.

Just when Zhong Kui struck a match but couldn't make a fire, the sound of footsteps came from the bottom of the river, and then he saw a dark figure. The dark figure looked like a bear-backed man, standing at the gate of the courtyard...

From Zhong Kui's point of view, the outside can be seen clearly, but it takes a little more effort to look inside the house from the outside, unless the person coming is an abnormal person, or is not human at all.

When Zhong Kui heard the noise coming from the entrance of the courtyard, he dared not continue to strike the match. He ducked and hid under the stove, secretly stretched out his head and peeked at who was coming at the entrance of the courtyard.

This sight almost frightened Zhong Kui half to death. The black shadow outside had a pair of green eyes that only wolves could have. It was as big as a small lantern. To say small lantern is an exaggeration, it should be for that kind of miniature.

The bulb of a flashlight is about the same size!

Since this black shadow had a pair of terrifying green eyes, it was definitely not human. Zhong Kui was so surprised that he suddenly thought of the dead body lying at the door.

It seems that this beast must have killed Lapis. Otherwise, they wouldn't have killed him simply by locking him in the courtyard at will! Besides, just by looking at Lapis's death, it wouldn't be possible.

It seemed like he died of starvation or something, but he died of being sucked dry of blood after being violently attacked.

Knowing that the other person was not a human being, Zhong Kui's heart immediately swelled.

His worry seemed to be not unreasonable. The tall black shadow outside seemed to be smelling another smell coming from the space when it stopped. A pair of green light beams were scattered, carrying a vicious aura.

Keep an eye on the kitchen.

Before he could figure out what the person who came outside was, he felt extremely nervous. Due to the nervousness, his throat became dry. The drier it was, the more uncomfortable it was to scratch his throat. Cold sweat broke out all over his body. At this moment, he had nothing but

Praying to Old Man Xia, apart from the blessing of the spirit of heaven, there seems to be no other response.

By the way, you have to cover your mouth and nose. This is a method that his father once taught him. Zhong Kui remembers that his father told him that there is a kind of upright walking monster in the deep mountains and old forests, called a werewolf, which specializes in sucking blood and eating various animals.

Meat survives.

Zhong Kui lowered his head and covered his mouth and nose. When he raised his eyes again and looked at the entrance of the courtyard, the tall black figure had disappeared.

Did he leave? Or hide in another place and wait for Zhong Kui to go out, throwing himself into a trap?

Zhong Kui lay on the ground and did not dare to move until his elbows were so sore that he could not stretch. He got up, and did not dare to pat the soil on his hands in the silence. Instead, he rubbed his sore legs and crept closer.

From the kitchen window sill, I looked out at the inky night.

One or two low-pitched calls of nightingales came from time to time. In such a quiet atmosphere, it seemed extremely abrupt and made people uncontrollably shudder.
