When Great-grandmother entered the house, she was startled to see a woman hanging in the room. She purposely didn't make a sound and coaxed her great-grandson into the house while eating watermelon. The great-grandson was also startled. Great-grandmother had such a bad personality.
After the scare, she didn't care anymore. The grandmother and grandson thought she was an eyesore, so they sat on the doorstep and ate the watermelon. They didn't get rid of her because they didn't know where she came from. What if she was related to Old Xu …
The grandmother and grandson had a tacit understanding of this malicious speculation.
"Grandpa, can you help us wash some pears? I need to talk to my colleague." Li Xianyu pointed at the yellow pears on the table.
Old Man Xu nodded and went out with the pear in his hands.
As soon as he left, Li Xianyu lifted his head and blew. The yellow talisman trembled and slowly fell to the ground.
The female ghost on the beam was freed, and her appearance changed. Her cataract eyes started to bleed, and dark blue veins bulged on her skin. She bared her fangs and lunged at the two.
Hmm, she didn't chase after Old Xu. Instead, she targeted me and Great-grandmother. This proved that Old Xu wasn't the murderer.
Great-grandmother gently exhaled, and a strong wind rose in the house. The ferocious female ghost was torn apart in the wind, turning into smoke and dispersing.
It was easy for Great-grandmother to blow away a wisp of resentment. As Li Xianyu's strength increased, her magical power was also revealed. If it were Li Xianyu, he wouldn't be able to handle it as easily as she did.
"Great-grandmother, what should we do now?" asked Li Xianyu.
"Let's go to the dam and check the situation. If that thing has left, we'll go back. If it hasn't, we'll wait for it." Great-grandmother pinched her chin.
"Why don't we dive into the water to look for it?" suggested Li Xianyu.
Great-grandmother waved her small hand and hit his head. "You have to remember two things when you're on the road. First, don't be too arrogant. Second, pay respect to the dock when you're in a strange place. Do you know why we have to pay respect to the dock? "
"I understand. It's someone else's territory."
"This is someone else's territory, they are the masters. Even if you are stronger than them, you can't be reckless," Great-grandmother advised, "The water is the territory of the beasts. In the water, they are definitely more ferocious than us. Don't go into the water so easily. Even if you have a self-healing ability, it's not foolproof. "
Li Xianyu nodded.
As they were chatting, Old Man Xu walked in with a wet pear in his hand.
Li Xianyu took the two and said to the old man, "We're going to walk around the reservoir first. You don't have to follow us."
The old man reminded him, "Be careful, there are wild boars in the mountains."
Great-grandmother's eyes immediately lit up.
With the old woman's reminder, Great-grandmother focused most of her attention on the forest. Her small eyes swept across the mountains, observing for any signs of trouble.
After all, this was his mission, so Li Xianyu focused on inspecting the suspicious traces around the reservoir. The monster had arrived at the reservoir not long ago. Li Xianyu guessed that it was a crocodile-like reptile. After a month, there should be no traces of it entering the reservoir, but if it left the reservoir, there should be traces of it crawling along the shore.
The reservoir was very big. Their legs were much stronger than normal people, but it was already dark by the time they finished the circumference of the reservoir.
Unfortunately, they didn't find any suspicious traces.
Old Man Xu said that he had been patrolling the reservoir recently. If the monster was still there, how did he survive?
"Grandma, do you think that thing turned into a human and left?" Li Xianyu's expression was full of worry.
A mutant that could turn into a human meant that it had the combat power of a senior worker.
On land, Li Xianyu couldn't win against a senior worker, unless it was a female.
In the water, it was even more impossible.
"Wild boar is delicious," Great-grandmother mumbled.
"What?"
"Wild boar is delicious. I've eaten it with your dad once." Great-grandmother swallowed her saliva. Her face was full of sincerity.
"I'm doing a mission. Can you pay more attention?" Li Xianyu was going crazy. He wanted to pinch her little face.
"I know, I know," Great-grandmother pouted. "I will help you. What are you afraid of? After this mission, let's go to the city. I want to buy something."
She knew that Li Xianyu spent 20 points to exchange for 200,000 yuan.
Li Xianyu grunted in acknowledgment.
There were 70 ways to coax a woman. One was shopping, and the rest were 69.
Of course, he couldn't coax Great-grandmother with 69, so he could only go shopping.
The two of them didn't return to the dilapidated house. Instead, they went deep into the mountains to look for wild boars, but they didn't find any. Instead, they brought back two brocade pheasants.
One was for the old man, and the other was for dinner.
"How can I do that?" Old Xu was flattered. He looked at the two young policemen in a new light.
The difficulty of hunting pheasants in the mountains was not comparable to fishing. He didn't hear any gunshots. The two pheasants were still alive and kicking when they were brought back. There were no wounds on their bodies.
"There are no wild boars. I didn't see any wild boars." Great-grandmother couldn't forget about the wild boars.
"Wild boars live deep in the mountains. They occasionally come to the reservoir. It's not common to see one," Old Xu said.
There was no natural gas in the mountains, but there were earthen stoves and coal stoves. The pheasants were stewed in the coal stoves, and the earthen stoves were used for cooking. The old man added his precious star anise, cinnamon, pepper, fennel, and other spices to the chicken soup. If it weren't for the pheasants Great-grandmother caught, they could only eat some vegetables tonight.
"This fish is hard to catch. I really think it's still in the water." The old man stir-fried and said, "I haven't caught any fish for several days."
"You can't do this either. You can't stay here forever. What if you get sick? What if you get injured? "Li Xianyu was responsible for adding firewood to the fire." When we go back, I'll contact the nursing home for you. "
He didn't say anything about letting the old man get back together with his family. Some things had happened, and it was hard to go back to the past.
Just like how Great-grandmother was trying hard to be a dignified ancestor, it was too late. Li Xianyu couldn't forget the way she acted like a spoiled child. He couldn't forget the way she squandered money like water.
"Okay, okay, you can eat." Great-grandmother squatted in the coal stove, smelling the aroma of the chicken. Her eager look was especially cute.
Three dishes and a pot of chicken. There was no big basin, so the small copper pot for stewing soup was placed on the table.
There was a layer of butter floating in the chicken soup. The chicken had been stewed and melted in the mouth. With a gentle suck, the skin was sucked into the mouth, and the fragrance was left in the mouth.
"It's a different flavor," Li Xianyu commented.
He actually had a lot of cold dishes and compressed canned food in his wallet, but it wasn't convenient to take them out.
"The chicken soup is more delicious." Great-grandmother held the bowl with both hands and drank with satisfaction.
"When I catch the monster, I'll bring it back to the village. Then everyone will know that I'm telling the truth," Old Xu said in a firm tone.
After eating and drinking, Old Xu began to talk about his little grandson again. "God is blind. Why didn't I die? At my age, it's hard for me to live. But my grandson is only ten years old. I only have two things to do now. One is to catch the monster, and the other is to avenge my grandson. The other is to have another child with my son's wife. Otherwise, the Xu family will have no descendants. "
The ordinary old farmer had his own persistence. Even after losing his grandson, he still hadn't collapsed. It was probably hatred and the determination to prove his innocence that kept him going.
Great-grandmother felt the same way. "We should have another child. The world says that nothing is important except life and death, but I think life and death are not important. The most important thing is to continue the family line and have children."
The poor Li family only had one child left.
"Don't worry, we'll help you," Li Xianyu comforted. "Are you really not going to consider going to a nursing home?"
According to the company's rules, the contents of the mission were kept secret from ordinary people. Of course, the monster's body had to be taken away. They couldn't let Old Xu drag it down the mountain. However, Li Xianyu was thinking that if the other party was an "unattractive" foreign species, he could make an exception.
It was still too early to think about this. He would think about it after he caught the monster.
"Ring ring ring …"
The night wind brought a faint bell sound. It was far away, and the mountain was quiet, so it could be heard faintly.
"What's that sound?" Li Xianyu turned his head and looked outside.
