C35 The old man is dead

"What happened? Why did I fall asleep …" "Where's Meng Chen?"

I hastily replied, "Everything's over. Han Mengchen will be resting in the room. You can stay here to accompany her tonight."

I was also tired after a night of tossing and turning, so I yawned and walked out of the house. I got in the car and went home. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ling'er and Tang Yufeng sitting on the sofa. These two girls were waiting for me.

Tang Yu Feng was a little worried as she asked: "Are you hurt? Did you solve the problem with that pervert?"

"It's all settled. It's all over." I took off my clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Then I came out and sat on the couch.

Tang Yufeng poured a cup of water and handed it to me. "What happened?" she asked softly.

"There's no danger …" That piece of jade pendant saved me. So it turns out that the wife of the pervert Qin Xiao Yun, Hua Ji, that Hua Ji's soul has always been within the jade pendant. " This could also be considered a good ending. I could finally rest easy and sleep in peace.

I walked into the bedroom as if I was relieved from a burden and laid down on the bed. Ling'er and Tang Yufeng ran in and lay down on both sides of me. A fox and a ghost, who is more powerful than me? These two are not things that ordinary people can control.

I held Tang Yufeng in my arms, while Ling'er turned into a fox. Her furry tail was still warm as it draped over my body.

I slept soundly that night, and I woke up early the next morning. Only Ling'er was still lying on top of me. I got up and got out of bed. After washing up, I was about to go downstairs and get some breakfast when I heard a doorbell ring.

"Ding dong …" Who could it be this early in the morning? I got up and opened the door to find Guan Rou standing outside.

I curiously asked, "Why are you here?"

"Let me bring you breakfast." At this moment, Ling'er walked out of the house and ran over excitedly. I discovered that this young lady had clearly come to the mortal world to eat delicious food. She really is a glutton.

I whispered, "Is Han Mengchen awake?" It should be fine now! "

Guan Rou softly said, "It's much better now. She asked me to thank you and also said that she would treat you to a meal."

"Forget it. I'm going back to my hometown today. I'll be back in a few days." After being busy for so long, it's about time I go back and take a look. If it wasn't for the old man's help these few times, even ten to eight times my death wouldn't be enough.

I took out the jade pendant and handed it to Guan Rou, asking her to pass it to Han Mengchen. I looked at Ling'er, who had been here for quite a while. It was time to send her back.

Although Ling'er didn't want to part with me, I told her that I would go and fetch her after a while in order to coax her. That way, she would be willing to leave. I bought some things and rode back to the countryside. It was strange that the old man didn't open his shop to do business today.

I knocked on the door doubtfully, but there was no sound from the inside. Feeling suddenly uneasy, I kicked the door open.

The scene before me stunned me. The shop was in a mess with the old man lying on the ground. I hastily ran over to help him up. I reached out my hand to feel it, but the old man was already dead.

This... What was going on!?

"Old Man …" "Don't you dare scare me …" My eyes reddened and I couldn't help but cry. The house was in a mess, it was impossible to say that it was a thief. The old man wasn't poor with money in his life, and the only things that were of value were the axe and the tobacco pipe pot.

Who would kill people for those two worthless things? I took care of the old man's affairs and set up a mourning hall in the shop.

Some of the village's old neighbors had come to pay their respects. The old man had made quite a few friends before his death and they had gotten along well.

"Xiao Sheng, don't be too sad. If anything happens, just tell us. We will also bury your Master's glory." What was the use of saying all of that? The old tutor was already dead, and even if he drew a perfect end to his life, it would still be useless.

The old man had spent his life organizing funerals for others. He probably didn't think that this would be the funeral for him.

The night before the funeral, I stayed up late at night in the shop. The old man's body was lying in the coffin. I burned some paper for the old man, and suddenly a cold wind blew in through the door.

The moment I stood up, I saw two figures walk in. These two people were dressed in black trench coats and bamboo hats, I was a little doubtful why there were people here in the middle of the night. Furthermore, I didn't hear from the old man that there were friends outside.

"Are you two here to pay respects to my master?" I picked up the sandalwood and handed it over. The two of them reached out and knocked the incense out of my hand.

"Brat, hand over your token!" Token? What Token... I think these two are here to cause trouble.

"I don't understand what you two are talking about. If you're not here to pay respects to my master, then please leave!" He was being too polite.

"Stinking brat!" If you don't hand over the command medallion, I'll take your master away. " One of them walked up to the coffin and stretched out his hand to help the old man up. I picked up the axe on the table and swung it at him.

I started to fight with the two of them. I swung my axe and hacked down on the spirit tablet table. Since I didn't get hit, the mourning hall became a mess.

"Bam!" The man turned around and kicked me in the chest, knocking me to the ground.

"Let's go!" The other person said in a low voice. He then walked over to the coffin and picked up the old man's corpse.

"You can't leave …" I reluctantly got up from the ground, picked up the axe and rushed forward again.

"This kid's bones are really hard!" Before I could get close, I was knocked to the ground. Following which, a figure appeared in front of me. Tang Yufeng followed me and with a wave of her hands, closed the door.

The two of them immediately put down the old man's corpse in a daze. Then, they took out something similar to a ghost catching magic tool from their waists and rushed towards Tang Yufeng.

Tang Yufeng's figure flashed. At the same time, her nails extended like sharp blades and stabbed into the chest of one of the men, immediately leaving behind five bloody holes.

"Ah …" The other man hurriedly opened the door and ran out. I chased after him with the axe in my hand, but he was nowhere to be seen. Tang Yu Feng swung her hand and threw the man's body away.

Tang Yufeng's body flickered and returned to normal. She continued, "Are you alright?"

I whispered, "Why are you here?"

"I followed you. I didn't expect that Liu's master would have passed away." Fortunately, Tang Yufeng had appeared in time. Otherwise, things would have gone south.

I rearranged the mourning hall, but what puzzled me was why did they rob the old man's corpse? I walked into the backyard and entered the old man's room. The old man's room was very clean.

I looked around and saw that I was almost on my hands and knees, looking under the bed. There was a suitcase under my master's bed.
