Chapter 41

The car headed all the way to Fenghe County. About two hours later, it arrived at Fenghe County.

What they went to was a family named Lin on the outskirts of Fenghe County.

It was only when they came to know that Chi Qingming was the adopted son of the Chi family.

It turns out that few male descendants of the Chi family have lived past forty years since they were cursed hundreds of years ago. Now Chi Chengping, the head of the Chi family, has made up his mind since he was young and ended the tragedy of their group in his generation: he is determined not to marry or have children, just to continue the family, and adopt Chi Qingming, the orphan whose parents both died at that time.

However, Chi Chengping was very open-minded and did not let him break off contact with other people in the family just because he adopted Chi Qingming. Instead, he would bring Chi Qingming back every Spring Festival to reunite with some elders of Chi Qingming's tribe. Because Chi Chengping was a rich man, the people in the Lin family were very enthusiastic about him and built a large house for the father and son in the local area as their residence for every time they went home to visit their relatives. According to Ren Dongnan, Chi Qingming and his son basically lived in Fenghe County for a few months every year.

After they arrived, they were naturally arranged by the Lin family to the house where Chi Qingming and his son lived. There were five or six two-story Western-style buildings, each with free room. Hu Sui had a fever again and slept in a daze. When he woke up, it was already dark. He got up from the bed and felt dizzy and got out of the bed. He saw a tall man standing outside the corridor smoking. The man seemed to have noticed the movement and looked back at him. The light in the yard shone on his handsome and resolute face. The man smiled and said, "Awaken?"

"Well," Hu Sui was wondering who the man was, so he heard a familiar voice coming over and said, "Dad, you smoke again."

It's Chi Qingming.

Chi Qingming wore a large down jacket that almost drooped to his calves. He grabbed the collar with his hands and said to Hu Sui with a smile: "You are awake."

"Senior." Hu Sui greeted him, and smiled at the middle-aged man by the way, saying, "Hello Uncle Chi."

Chi Chengping nodded, threw away the remaining half of the cigarette, crushed the leather shoes, walked over and said to Chi Qingming: "I told you that it's cold outside, so I can't put on my clothes before coming out?"

Chi Qingming said: "It's not cold."

However, he put on the down jacket and wrapped it in the clothes and asked Hu Sui: "What do you think? Come into the house and I'll show you again."

Hu Sui nodded, turned around and entered the house, and heard Chi Qingming say, "Dad, hurry up and brush your teeth, don't let me smell the smoke."

Chi Chengping smiled and said, "You are the only one who can do it."

Chi Qingming then came in and took Hu Sui's pulse. Hu Sui lay on the bed, looking at Chi Qingming's somewhat sickly face under the light, but her eyelashes were thick and long, and her eyes were gorgeous, which was really beautiful.

But those eyes suddenly raised up, looked at him, Hu Sui smiled and asked, "How is it?"

"I've suppressed it for the time being. I heard from Xiaojiu and the others that I don't know what kind of blood is, and what kind of witchcraft is underneath. Please let me study it for two more days."

Hu Sui said: "Please trouble you."

Chi Qingming smiled and said, "You're welcome."

After he finished speaking, he coughed a few more times, and his face turned red with coughing. Hu Sui patted his back, and Chi Qingming smiled and said, "It's okay, it's an old problem."

Hu Sui said: "Have you all asleep with Xiaojiu?"

Chi Qingming nodded: "I've been going to bed a long time ago. It seems that you have really worked hard these days."

Hu Sui told him about their affairs in Baiyang Town. Chi Qingming was not afraid after hearing this. He just smiled and finished speaking, saying, "Fortunately, the white hair has been conquered. But speaking of it, you are really heart-willing. You dare to come out with Li Xiaojiu. Isn't he always dislike you?"

"It's really thanks to him to save me this time," Hu Sui said. "Li Xiaojiu is just a poisonous mouth and a bad heart."

Chi Qingming nodded and said, "Of course, people from the Li tribe cannot be wrong. They have been with the Li tribe for hundreds of years." After he said that, he saw Hu Sui showing a little surprised expression, and said, "Don't you think Li Xiaojiu is a human being, do you?"

Hu Sui had actually suspected Li Xiaojiu's identity for a long time. Li Chengqi was a Taoist priest who had lived for hundreds of years. Li Xiaojiu must not be his real nephew, probably adopted him, but he did not find any evil spirit in Li Xiaojiu.

"He grew up in Baihuazhou and was raised by Li's side. It's normal for him to have no demonic energy on his body." Chi Qingming said: "I just don't know what kind of demon he is."

"What kind of monster am I, do you know?" Hu Sui asked.

Chi Qingming looked at him and shook his head, but there was a faint smile on his face: "What kind of monster are you?"

"I am a fox." Hu Sui said.

"I heard that you foxes have been divided into four major surnames since ancient times, Kang, Hu, Huang, and Bai. You are the descendant of the nine-tailed god fox." Chi Qingming's tone seemed to be asking, and he seemed to be sighing, and his eyes were always on Hu Sui's face, "I have seen many vixen spirits, and this is the first time I have seen them."

Hu Sui said: "That's all the reputation that our ancestors have made. By our generation, we are no longer considered a Hu family. Not to mention nine tails, I may not be able to practice three tails in my life."

Chi Qingming said: "He was born there and the blood of the Nine-tailed God Fox flowed in his body."

He stood up and said, "Lying down first, I'll see if the medicine for you is cured."

Hu Sui said: "Thank you."

Chi Qingming smiled, turned around and went out. The down jacket on his body was so big that he looked very petite. As soon as he closed the door and went out, Hu Sui heard Chi Chengping's voice in the room and said, "I'll do it."

He was a little childish, not like a father.

Then Chi Qingming's voice said, "You told you not to smoke, you will never listen, and no one will care about you in the future."

Hu Sui looked at the time and it was only nine o'clock in the evening. He thought to himself that Li Xiaojiu and the others slept so early.

He couldn't sit still, so he got up and stood under the porch outside. After standing for a while, he walked to the gate and looked out. The house built by the Lin family for the Chi family and his son was at the outermost point of the city. There were only a few hundred meters away from other families. Looking at the night, it was inevitable that he was a little desolate. He sneezed, wrapped his clothes tightly, and when he was about to go back to the house, he found a person standing behind the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor.

Because the lights were on in the room, I could see clearly that it was Ren Dongnan.

Ren Dongnan is thin and tall, and is indifferent. Now he is standing condescendingly, and his body looks even colder and sharper. Hu Sui smiled and waved at him, but Ren Dongnan didn't react much.

Ren Dongnan has always been like this and doesn't like to take care of others. He is used to it. But he is still a little embarrassed when he is staring at it like that. When he looks at the whole house, it is silent. Even Chi Qingming and Chi Chengping and his son don't know where they are.

He felt a little uneasy and anxious, and he planned to go to the next door to see Li Xiaojiu.

When they came, they all assigned the room, and Li Xiaojiu lived next to him.

As a result, he knocked over the door for a long time, but Li Xiaojiu agreed. He pushed it and the door was locked. Chi Qingming held a bowl of steaming medicine on a tray and smiled behind him, "Maybe he has been asleep for a long time, so don't sway outside. Touch less, so that the toxins will not spread easily."

Hu Sui walked over in his clothes and said, "He slept quite late on weekdays. Why did he go to bed so early today? Did Mei Qing sleep too?"

"We don't have internet or TV at home. They are bored and probably went to bed early. They come in and drink the medicine."

Hu Sui returned to his room and picked up the bowl of medicine. He only smelled a faint smell of blood. The color of the medicine was also blood red. It reminded him of the blood ash that Wang Xue's mother told him, and he felt a little disgusting, saying, "Why does this medicine taste like this?"

"The witch doctor's medicine has never been good. It has added rooster blood and a talisman gray."

Hu Sui pinched his nose and drank the bowl of medicine. After drinking it, Chi Qingming did not leave, but sat beside his bed and talked to him.

"You are so irritating to drink this medicine. Actually, I smell it okay. I have drunk too much bitter medicine."

Hu Sui wiped his mouth and asked, "I have always wanted to ask you, what disease do you have? Can't you cure even if you have such a high medical skill?"

"I understand that it is a witch doctor technique. I can cure evil diseases, but I am weak since I was a child. The physical condition I have been born can only be slowly raised. I have been drinking the medicine for recuperation since I was a child, and it is useless," he said with a wry smile, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, and said, "I am a short-lived person, I will not live long."

When Hu Sui heard him say this, he felt a little pitiful: "Don't say that, you are not from the Chi family, and the curse of the Chi family will not fall on you."

Chi Qingming raised his head slightly and asked, "Do you know the curses of our family?"

"I heard from the seniors and the others," he asked carefully, "Uncle Chi, how old is this year?"

"I'm thirty-eight years old." Chi Qingming said, "I don't know who will die first."

"Don't you understand the witch doctor's skills? I remember that curses are also one of the witch doctor's skills. Shouldn't they be able to solve them?"

"You don't know that the death curse in our Chi family is a devil who has a deep Taoist practice, which is difficult to solve. When I sought Taoism at Baihuazhou, I wanted to find a way to unlock this death curse. But after searching through the witch doctor books in Baihuazhou, I couldn't find it."

Hu Sui felt a little sleepy, yawned and said, "Why didn't you ask Li's house? He is familiar with ancient and modern times, maybe he knows it."
