The apprentice always wants to kill me

Chapter 11

Early the next morning, Du Zhong opened his eyes and swept towards the corner. The formation he drew was still there, but the cat demon inside had been blown to pieces by something.Du Zhong couldn't help being shocked, and hurried over to check.Did someone come in last night?But he heard nothing.

"Master, what happened?" Gu Qingli was woken up by his movement, rubbed his eyes and sat up, obviously seeing the situation over there.

Du Zhong shook his head and didn't speak, but the child continued: "Did it feel that it has no way out, and blew its own demon pill?"

How would I know?Du Zhong thought to himself, it was fine yesterday, and seeing how it was so focused on Young Master Chen, it didn't look like a demon that would commit suicide.

"Fortunately, the task can be handed in by dismembering the corpse. Master, let me clean it up." The child put on his shoes and ran around the room, took a few large pieces of toilet paper and wrapped the corpse carefully.

You don't want to harm others, but others may not want to harm you.Living in the world, who can be alone?

Du Zhong squatted down and stared blankly at the minced meat. After Gu Qingli packed it up, he took the paper bag and stood up. He touched the top of the child's head: "You are so good."

The child frowned and asked again: "What plans does Master have next?"

"Master Chen is probably very nervous right now." Du Zhong put the paper bag into his sleeve pocket, and replied after a moment of pondering, "If you want something from others, but cover it up, it is very likely that you have bad intentions. I'd better go again." Ask the villagers about the back mountain, and then go to the monk's house on the mountain to have a look."

The child responded.Du Zhong straightened his clothes again, and the two left Chen's house.

This time, he was surrounded by folks from all over the world as soon as he left the house, because yesterday he seemed gentle, polite and approachable. This time, the folks were not too polite, and immediately surrounded him enthusiastically and asked questions: "Immortal, I heard you caught a monster yesterday?"

Did the news spread so fast?Du Zhong immediately nodded and said reservedly: "Yes, but we haven't found the body yet, we probably have to stay for a few more days."

"It's better to stay longer, the longer the immortal stays, the better!"

It is very good, especially the food in the Chen residence is good.

A circle of villagers was buzzing for a while, and someone asked again: "Immortal, what about the monster? What does it look like? Where is it?"

"It's a cat demon. It used to wear human skin and look like a human. It died yesterday."

But you don't want to hit a cat whenever you see it.

"Oh, it's good to die, it's good to die! Immortals are so powerful!"

When the villagers saw that he was always ready to answer questions and had a good temper, they immediately became more enthusiastic.

"Is this your apprentice, Immortal? What a handsome child."

"I heard that the immortal belongs to the Tianxuan Sect? Where is the Tianxuan Sect?"

"Can immortals read palms? Immortals can help us find out."

"Immortal, my son has diarrhea in the middle of the night, will the immortal watch it?"

...Wait, do you have any misunderstandings about monks?Although immortals come and go, I am not really an immortal!Even if you are a fairy, you can't do everything trivially, right?And haven't you heard that all immortals drink dew? ?

Du Zhong withstood this wave of attacks, and felt that his fairy-like painting style was a sign of shattering, so he quickly waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, and asked about Houshan.

The villagers living here have never known that there is a family of cultivators on the barren hill behind the village.It is estimated that it is a blindfold, and ordinary people cannot see it.It's understandable, if you are greeted with such enthusiasm every day, then everyone will die.

It seems that there is nothing to ask, but the fact that the villagers don't know doesn't necessarily mean that the government here doesn't know. He hasn't visited the government before.Out of the corner of Du Zhong's eyes, he saw several people walking towards this side with full baskets outside the crowd, and his arms immediately twisted.

Again?And this time, maybe because he was happy to know that the monster died, he almost brought his own pig as a mount for him.He immediately picked up Gu Qingli and shouted: "Du has something to do, so I'm leaving!"

Then just before the villagers 'oh oh oh fairy fly up fly up! ''The Immortal is so powerful! ’ shouted and flew away and ran away for a long time, until they were no longer in sight, then wiped off the sweat with relief, and sighed: "Too enthusiastic..."

The child suddenly laughed in his arms: "That's Shizun, you have a very good temper, if you are more aggressive, they will not dare to offend you."

Du Zhong looked back at the child with bright eyes, as if he was laughing at him.Gu Qingli usually kept a straight face and looked like a mature young adult, but when he saw him laughing now, Du Zhong couldn't help but let out a 'hehehe' laugh.

Afterwards, the two sneaked into the official mansion together, not daring to disturb others, and only used the invisibility talisman to walk around the official mansion, but unfortunately found nothing.

Missing persons were recorded, but nothing about Xiafu.No suspicious person was found in the government, and it looked like they were all mortals.

It seems that we can only go to Xiafu to see it.Du Zhong took Gu Qingli to the barren hill behind the village.

As a little-known family of little cultivators, Xia's Mansion doesn't have any high-level restrictions, even a half-assed Du Zhong can easily break through.

Because there was a restriction in the mansion, the ground is not covered with fallen leaves like in front of the door, but the mansion has long since been empty, and Eucommia's spiritual sense can be seen at a glance.Although it is only a small family, there are many rooms, and it is quite rich in terms of furnishings.

If there is an aristocratic family, there must be a genealogy. The two explored and soon found the genealogy in the secret room of the main house.Du Zhong picked it up and looked it over, there are still quite a few people, it seems that it has been passed down for a long time.Although most of them have the surname Xia, there are also other surnames.

He turned to the end, and saw a member of the No. 13th generation of disciples with the surname Chen, named 'Chen Tang'.There is also a Chen surname in the No. 14 generations from Chen Tang, and it is probably the young master of the Chen family.

Unexpectedly, Master Chen is still a monk.But why didn't I see it?

Gu Qingli also saw it, pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "There is something wrong here, Master, let's leave it alone and go back to Tianxuan quickly."

"No, your master, I can handle it."

It's a ghost if you can handle it!The child complained in his heart, is it a fool to be stubborn at this time?

But Eucommia has a kind of honey self-confidence.I can't tell why, it seems that I just don't want to get cold feet.

He didn't want to go back to Tianxuan to hand in the mission with the broken body of the cat demon pretending to know nothing in front of the child, knowing that there were still people who were doing harm to others.He wanted to do this well without any regrets.

He thought, maybe I just want to be a role model for you.Although it may be a role model that often dies.

At this moment, Gu Qingli was thinking about whether to leave this idiot quickly.Although it is only a small family, it is not far from Tianxuan. The entire family has been missing for two years and no one has taken care of it, which is enough to explain something.

He is still young now, and his strength is not as good as this brain-dead master, so he really doesn't want to get involved.

It is best to go back to Tianxuan now, if the master dies, Bai Chen may take him in for his sake.

Gu Qingli blinked at Du Zhong, and suddenly a particularly distant and vague memory came to mind, which made his heart soften.In the end, he just responded, "Yes."

【"Here we come..." Gu Qingli's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice.

The slovenly man didn't dare to look back, so he continued to run while panting heavily.The smell of blood filled his throat, his eyes were covered with white spots, his limbs felt cold, and he began to lose consciousness after bursts of tingling pain, but he continued to move his legs crazily as if he didn't feel it.

Faster, faster...but suddenly he felt something stir him, and he flew forward.The man let out a small cry of 'ah', not daring to let go of the child to protect his face, and knocked out two of his teeth.

It's useless, it's useless...!I don't know whether the tears are painful or what, but they flowed from the eye sockets and flowed all over the face.The man's eyes were shattered, he swallowed his teeth and the blood, and stood up again.He subconsciously tightened his arms, and the child in his arms hugged him back desperately.

There is a straw pile ahead.He stumbled and ran over, tore the child off his body and stuffed it in.

"Father...Father!" The child looked at him in horror, waving his arms, unwilling to leave the man's embrace.

"Hide!" the man shouted, but he couldn't get rid of the child's hand holding his sleeve.

"Then, what about father?"

There are so many people, there must be one person to survive, there must be one... The man burst into tears, but suddenly smiled, took one last look at the child, pulled him off and stuffed him into the straw: "Your adoptive father!" I can handle it."

……

The screams were not loud, only three.Then there was a burst of chewing sound.

Gu Qingli's eyes were dull, and he covered his ears and hid in the straw.

How is the adoptive father?Is he still out there?After the monster leaves, he will take himself home...

Gradually even the chewing sound faded away, leaving only the faint chirping of insects in the summer night.

Why hasn't he picked me up yet?The child thought blankly in the silence.The monster is gone.

It seems that after a long time, no one has pushed the straw.He was so thirsty that he finally decided to go out by himself.

Under the light of the afterglow at dusk, a child stepped out of the haystack.There was no one around, only pieces of meat all over the floor.Six-year-old Gu Qingli stepped on it with a numb expression, his thoughts went blank.

What about foster father? ...

...Forget it, he's thirsty, let's find some water.Gu Qingli looked away stiffly, moved his cold limbs, and walked towards the afterglow of the sun.

"Woo..." The unexpected liquid flowed out of the child's eye sockets.

The home... The home is gone, even though it wasn't really a home; the father is gone, even though he was an abandoned baby.When the monsters were full, they thought he was too small and didn't want to eat him, so they didn't drag him out and eat him together.

It's really useless...

Go get some water.The child walked forward slowly while weeping.

Someday, someday...
