Chapter 60: My Family Has a Newborn (Three)

  So, it seems that Yuqin's sister-in-law lives in the home of a fox spirit, and she must also be a fox spirit. Relying on my courage, I'm not afraid. Could it be that she is in cahoots with Hu Saniu, and those words were just to deceive people?

  "That majestic and aged voice said: 'Dragon God's Envoy, I don't know what business Dragon God has with her?'"

  "I hastily said: 'I live on Purple Jade Street, I know that Music Qian aunt, want to ask her some things.'"

  "The Dragon God's Envoy has come at an inopportune time." A shrill voice squeaked: "That Lü-qin, she's already gone! We couldn't find her either!"

  "Has she left?" My heart tightened: "Excuse me, where did she go?"

  "This is... hard to say, hard to say! Can't find it!"

  "Then did she leave by herself or with someone?"

  Those voices hesitated for a moment before saying:

  "I don't know! I don't know!"

  Alas, after much investigation, it's clear that Leqin is a fox spirit in disguise, and the trail has gone cold.

  But this time, it's not a complete failure, at least some information was gathered.

  I thought to myself, since the whereabouts of Leqin's wife are unknown, I might as well take the opportunity to ask about Hu Saniu. So I asked: "Excuse me for asking another question, Leqin's wife has been working at the pickled vegetable shop on Ziyu Street all along. Do you know anything about the origins of Hu Saniu, who sells pickled vegetables?"

  The chirping and chattering sounds suddenly stopped, and there was no more sound of anyone speaking.

  "What? Could it be that the fox spirits know Hu San'er? Hu San'er's surname is indeed Hu, and his behavior is also strange. Could he also be a fox spirit?"

  There is still no response.

  Li Kaitang also said that the creature that swallowed the moonlight was a spirit transformed from an animal, and it seemed to be eight or nine out of ten. But what about the strange cry of the baby?

  I saw the fox spirits remaining silent, and had no choice but to bid farewell and leave. Unexpectedly, just as I stepped out of the stone platform, that aged voice spoke again: "From now on, Hu San'er is no longer considered a member of the Hu family."

  As expected, Hu San'er is also a fox spirit!

  "I hastily asked: 'May I ask why Hu San'er's brother was driven out of the Hu family by you?'"

  That elderly voice with a leader-like tone sighed: "He insisted on going his own way, harming others and himself. Our humble Daoist sect has almost been completely ruined by him! Originally, our Hu family in Zi Yu Chai Street was the most uncompetitive, we never harmed anyone, only focused on cultivating our Dao. It's embarrassing to say that Hu San Er is actually my biological son."

  "Ah......" It seems that Hu San'er is still the young master of the Hu family.

  "Could it be that Third Brother Hu has committed some heinous crime that heaven and earth cannot tolerate?"

  "That's about right!" The old voice was suddenly furious: "It's all because he brought such a great disaster, that we drove him out! I suppose the Dragon God has knowledge, and wants to capture that unworthy descendant into the demon world to control, so he sent the Dragon God Envoy to negotiate? Envoy, please rest assured, no matter how Heaven strikes Hu San with lightning, our Hu family will only applaud and absolutely not obstruct, please convey this to the Dragon God Envoy."

  The words are so heavy, I don't know what kind of thing Hu Saner did to offend heaven and anger people, that his own father would be so ruthless.

  I hastily asked: "Please enlighten me, Master Hu, what kind of calamity has Third Brother Hu gotten himself into?"

  "Does the Dragon God not know?" The aged voice couldn't hide its astonishment: "This past period, the crying infant by the banks of the Rouge River hasn't caused people's hearts to be in an uproar? The Dragon God actually hasn't heard about it?"

  "This... actually I haven't dared to tell Longjing yet, so I can only prevaricate: 'Even Dragon God's thoughts are hard for Mei Cai to fathom.'"

  "I see... " The old voice sighed: "It seems that the missing piano has also gone with that beast. Hopefully, it won't lead to a great disaster."

  "I hastily asked: 'I wonder if the calamity is related to that infant?'"

  The hoary voice replied, "Not bad... a mere little demon, instead of cultivating his own hundred-year Dao line, he actually went to provoke the ferocious beast. Isn't he tired of living? Now that he wants to live or die with that ferocious beast, we will naturally let him go."

  "Fierce beast?" I was perplexed: "Mr. Hu's meaning is that the crying baby is actually a fierce beast?"

  "Not bad!" The old voice was indignant: "It's still a particularly cruel and brutal beast!"

  "So, Jiuying is in the hands of Hu Sanye?" Suddenly, a lazy voice sounded from behind: "Ah, why does the fox spirit want to help the fierce beast? Jiuying's appearance is pleasing, and when it recovers its former dragon horse spirit, it will be endless trouble."

  I turned around and it was Longjing who had arrived! The melon seed was still shouting on his shoulder: "Stupid donkey fighting alone! Stupid donkey fighting alone!"

  "I didn't think too much..." I rubbed my head anxiously: "Dragon God, why have you come here?"

  Longjing laughed and said: "You foolish child, how can you hide things? One look and I know you have a guilty conscience. Ben Shen had already heard about the baby's crying from the grain store clerk in the casino early on, and then the pickled human flesh at the sauce shop was also spreading like wildfire. Ben Shen is not blind or deaf, how could he be so ignorant?"

  Guai Dao Gua Pian said Long Jing went to the casino for official business, but it turned out that he knew the casino was crowded and noisy, so he actually went to gather information, which really made me look at him in a new light.

  "Dragon God... " The old voice panicked: "I didn't know the Dragon God would come in person, how dare we little monsters trouble you..."

  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Longjing waved his hand: "If you hadn't sent someone to make trouble at the sauce shop, that fool would have kept his mouth shut, and I wouldn't have thought of it either!"

  "It turns out that Dragon God had known all along......Dragon God is all-knowing and nothing can escape his eyes." The old voice said nervously.

  "Huh? What does that mean?" I widened my eyes: "So, the rumor about the sauce shop was actually spread by Old Hu and his family?"

  "It's true..." The old voice was tinged with a hint of embarrassment: "I've heard that the demonic beast has brazenly transformed into human form and is doing business on Purple Jade Street, absorbing the smoke and fire energy. It's infuriating, and I'm afraid that this ferocious beast will recover and grow stronger, so I came up with this method to intimidate humans, thinking of driving out the demonic beast and the ferocious beast from the Mystic Yin land, letting them fend for themselves."

  "That's an interesting trick." Longjing laughed and said, "The Hu family's ancient magic show is famous far and wide, even I want to go see the excitement!"
