Chapter 234 Monster?
Chapter 234 Monster?
"Daughter-in-law, you..."
Jiang Si's strange behavior caught Fan Tong's attention almost instantly, but he was interrupted by Jiang Si's new movement just as he was about to speak.
Ugh~
The sudden retching sound made everyone present nervous, and their eyes turned to the source of the sound.
Jiang Si covered her mouth with one hand and kept dry heaving, but her eyes were fixed on Mao Ying.
Realizing that something was wrong with Jiang Si, Fan Tong came over immediately. Gan Lin and Ming Jinghuan also looked at her with concern.
"Wife, are you okay?"
Fan Tong gently patted Jiang Si's back, his face full of worry, and even his voice was full of concern.
"He... Ugh~"
Jiang Si had just opened her mouth when the feeling of nausea came over her again, and she stopped herself from speaking.
Ming Jinghuan put his hands on the back of the chair, leaned forward slightly, his face full of shock, with a hint of concern in his eyes, and said jokingly: "Sister-in-law, I know that guy is a little disgusting, but you won't be disgusted to the point of vomiting, right?"
Hearing this, the unruly smile on Mao Ying's face suddenly froze, and her charming eyes were full of disbelief.
Mao Ying was extremely heartbroken at this moment. He just couldn't accept the fact that he had made such a beautiful woman vomit out of disgust.
Hearing Ming Jinghuan's words, Fan Tong, who was so concerned about his wife, barely hesitated for a moment. He immediately looked at Mao Ying coldly, and said in a voice as cold as ice and snow, "Get lost! You made my wife vomit!"
Mao Ying, who was already feeling very happy, was even more upset after hearing Fan Tong's words. He felt like he was hit in the chest and felt very blocked.
Although Mao Ying was frightened by Fan Tong's eyes, he still continued, "This is my home!"
As soon as these words were spoken, four sharp gazes as sharp as blades fell on Mao Ying.
This horrifying scene frightened him so much that he shivered!
"Well, it's my bad luck."
Having said that, Mao Ying stood up. Just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded to stop him.
"Wait, he can't leave!"
Jiang Si, who had recovered, suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, everyone looked at her in confusion, and there was always a hint of worry in Fan Tong's eyes.
Mao Ying felt a little scared by Jiang Si's stare, so she put away her dissolute look and said, "No, my dear lady, what I said just now was just a joke. You don't really want to kill me, do you?"
Jiang Si ignored Mao Ying and looked at Fan Tong. She said to him seriously, "That guy smells!"
"Smell?" Upon hearing this, Ming Jinghuan stretched his head and sniffed in the direction of Mao Ying, "What's that smell? Could it be that he has body odor?"
Ming Jinghuan's words made the room suddenly quiet. Jiang Si and Fan Tong looked at Ming Jinghuan with twisted expressions.
Mao Ying, who was standing by, widened his eyes and looked at Ming Jinghuan in shock. He was screaming in his heart: Do these two have dog noses? How could they smell it from such a distance?
After hearing what Jiang Si said, Gan Lin couldn't help but sniff in the direction of Mao Ying, "Young Master, what did you find? There is no other smell on him except the smell of powder!"
Compared to the other two, Fan Tong looked directly at Jiang Si and asked, "Wife, what did you find?"
Fan Tong's words brought Jiang Si back to her senses. She looked at him solemnly, her voice lowered a little, and she said seriously, "He smells like the monsters from the Valley of Withered Souls!"
As soon as Jiang Si said this, Fan Tong and Ming Jinghuan's faces instantly became solemn.
Although Gan Lin, who was standing aside, was confused by what he heard, he couldn't help but take it seriously by seeing the changes in expressions on the faces of several people. He fixed his eyes on Mao Ying and stared at him closely.
"Strange...monster?"
Mao Ying's body froze up due to the fierce gazes from the men. He was unable to move at all. He stood there in a daze, not daring to move. His voice trembled when he spoke.
Seeing Mao Ying's look, Fan Tong and Jiang Si looked at each other and understood in their hearts that Mao Ying must know something.
After exchanging glances, the few of them quickly dispersed and surrounded Mao Ying from four directions.
Sensing the movements of several people, Mao Ying secretly clenched his hands into fists under his wide sleeves. Although his face looked normal, the thin layer of sweat on his forehead exposed his nervousness at the moment.
"Are you from the Valley of Withered Souls?"
Jiang Si's gentle questioning made Mao Ying, who was already very nervous, panic. He immediately retorted without thinking: "No, although I am a bastard, I am not a bad guy who everyone wants to beat!"
"Bad guys will never admit that they are bad guys most of the time." Jiang Si was playing with a flying knife in her hand, with a faint but charming smile on her lips, but her eyes were as cold as frost when she looked at Mao Ying.
Following Jiang Si's move, the other three also drew their weapons.
Noticing the changes in the aura of several people, Mao Ying's charming eyes also showed a little more vigilance.
After thinking for a while, Mao Ying finally spoke: "The monster you just mentioned, is it the weirdo with red eyes who suddenly went crazy and out of control and attacks any living thing he sees?"
Hearing this, Jiang Si stopped spinning the flying knife, raised her eyes and looked at him, staring into his eyes.
"You really know something!"
Mao Ying heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that Jiang Si had restrained some of her momentum. He then sat back in his chair, showing no intention of escaping.
Seeing Mao Ying's actions, several people did not relax their vigilance. Fan Tong held a dagger in his left hand, put his right hand behind his back, and took out a pistol from the armory. If Mao Ying dared to move, he would take his life at the first opportunity.
Mao Ying sat leisurely on the chair, raised his teacup and took a sip of tea, then slowly spoke: "I also discovered it by accident."
Hearing this, Jiang Si and Fan Tong's eyes met, and the expressions on their faces became more solemn.
Those crazy medicine men who were like zombies did appear outside the Valley of Withered Souls, proving that their previous worries were not wrong.
The Lord of the Withered Soul Valley's journey north must be something very complicated.
"Tell me in detail." Fan Tong retracted his gaze and looked at Mao Ying, his voice low and magnetic.
After hearing Fan Tong's words, Mao Ying did not answer immediately. He looked around before speaking.
"On a rainy night seven days ago, I owed money for gambling and was chased by the gambling clerks. I hid in the red-light district and saw a man and a woman hugging each other in the dark alley."
At this point, Mao Ying showed an ambiguous smile on his face.
"At first I thought it was a customer taking a girl from the brothel to have some exciting fun!"
Seeing his nonchalant look, Fan Tong frowned slightly, coughed lightly, and reminded him in a deep voice, "Speak to the point!"
After being scolded by Fan Tong, Mao Ying immediately put away his smile and looked serious.
"It was raining so hard that I couldn't see clearly. I looked carefully for a while and then I realized that the girl was hugging the man's neck and biting him."
