I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 4 Five Years Later

"It seems like you're being watched."

In the ward, the white-haired woman sat cross-legged on the windowsill without any regard for her appearance, looking up at a male doctor who was wearing a white coat and a mask as he entered.

This is the maternity ward, and male doctors are not usually allowed to come in.

Holding Xiao Qi in her arms, Meng Shulan looked up at the newcomer with a mixture of fear and nervousness.

Strangely, he seemed unable to see anyone in the ward. After glancing around furtively, he turned and left.

"how did you do that?"

Relieved, Meng Shulan looked at the white-haired woman with great curiosity.

"It's just a trick, not worth mentioning."

Blindfold?
Meng Shulan seemed to be deep in thought. She thought that she couldn't stay in the hospital for long and that she should not trouble Qingge with two different people. She would have to ask Qingge to help her take her to a safe place to recuperate after childbirth.

Qingge, Yu Qingge, that's the name of her master, Xiao Qi.

Seven days later, Lin Qingquan finally found his wife, Meng Shulan.

However.
"Zichen, what are you doing? Do you know how long I've been looking for your great-aunt?"

Lin Qingquan looked haggard as he glanced at the young man blocking the doorway and patiently said again, "Let me in!"

"Screw you! My great-aunt said she'll get a divorce after she finishes her postpartum period. Now get the hell out of here. She doesn't want to see you at all."

Meng Zichen's face was fierce and menacing. "Leaving your wife, who is about to give birth, alone at home, is that something a human being would do? You surnamed Lin, do you think the Meng family has no one to bully my great-aunt like this?"

Upon hearing the word "divorce," Lin Qingquan's expression changed drastically.

He searched every corner of Qingzhou for seven days, including every hospital, but after failing to find it, he realized something was wrong.

He is no ordinary person; he knows some inhuman methods that cannot be detected by the naked eye.

After repeated investigations, the target was finally the First People's Hospital, which was closest to his home.

But apart from knowing that his wife had been here, he knew nothing else about her.

Lin Qingquan was filled with doubt. Who on earth had such great ability to do this?
As far as he knew, besides his master, there was no one else in the world who could take his wife away. But his master had disappeared, and even if he hadn't, he had no reason to take his wife away.

Finally, some clues were obtained from Shu Lan's grand-nephew Meng Zichen. He asked his third uncle to buy chicken, fish, eggs, and pig's trotters, which were obviously nutritious foods.

When Lin Qingquan received this news, he suddenly realized that he had gone to look for everyone but Meng Zichen, and it was precisely the person he had overlooked who Shu Lan had chosen.

"Wow!"

As the two were arguing, a baby suddenly cried out from the bedroom.

His child
Lin Qingquan was deeply moved and pushed Meng Zichen aside before rushing inside.

"do not come."

Meng Shulan held Xiao Qi and leaned against the headboard, her eyes cold. "What Zichen just said means what I said. I won't keep you waiting too long. We'll get it done after you finish your confinement period."

"I disagree."

Lin Qingquan stared blankly at her. It hadn't been that long since they last met. She was perfectly fine when he left, but after only a few days, she seemed like a completely different person.

Her once bright and beautiful features were now deathly pale. Her once expressive eyes, which used to glare at him sweetly, were now cold and devoid of warmth, looking at him as if he were a stranger.

“Shu Lan,” Lin Qingquan murmured to himself, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would be such a coincidence.” “Coincidence?” Meng Shu Lan sneered, “Is it really a coincidence? You left, and the next day Xiao Yuehua called me, saying that you had important things to do and that I shouldn’t keep you by my side or hold you back. She implied that I wasn’t on your side and that you two should have been a perfect couple, and that I stole you away by any means necessary.”

Lin Qingquan, how come I didn't know you and Xiao Yuehua were ever engaged? Is it true? Why didn't you tell me?

"No, that was a long time ago."

"So that means you two really were together before."

"They didn't end up together; it was a private arrangement between my master and my senior master."

"Forget it, you don't need to explain to me. There's no point in saying anything now. Anyway, what I want to tell you is that after you left, Xiao Yuehua called me, then the pig demon knocked on the door around 1 a.m., then I had a miscarriage scare, and people kept looking for me at the hospital. If you think all of this is just a coincidence, then Lin Qingquan, can I assume that my daughter and I are worthless in your eyes?"

Lin Qingquan stared at her, his face pale with a bluish tinge, then bluish with a purplish tinge. Finally, his face darkened and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Shulan, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Explain?

Meng Shulan sneered inwardly. Even if there were evidence, what could he do to Xiao Yuehua?
That woman was his senior uncle's precious daughter. How could he dare to disregard his senior uncle and kill her?
Yes, she couldn't think of any other punishment that could quell her hatred except killing Xiao Yuehua.

After all, a life for a life!
Actually, it wasn't just that; if it weren't for Qingge, she probably would have been eaten by the pig demon long ago.

Two lives, hers and her daughter's.

This woman is truly vicious!

Because of Meng Shulan's indifference and insistence, Lin Qingquan only had time to glance at his daughter before he had to leave.

He knew that this matter needed to be explained and addressed, otherwise Shulan would not forgive him, and he himself would not forgive himself.

Another very important question is, if the pig demon was indeed found by Xiao Yuehua, how did she find it?
Why wasn't it reported if it was found?

Most of the monsters that escaped from Sanqing Mountain five years ago were captured and imprisoned, while a small number were killed because of their strong resistance.

I thought we had dealt with most of it, but it seems there are quite a few that have slipped through the net.

What Lin Qingquan didn't expect was that he would be gone for a full five years. When he returned, his daughter Mengqi was already killing chickens with a knife.

"Yes, grab the wings and head, slit the throat, and bleed it out, my goodness. Why do you always cut off the head? What a waste, what a waste, all that chicken blood."

Meng Jiu muttered about the waste, then turned around and took the basin, telling Meng Qi to throw the headless chicken into it. At the same time, she couldn't help but praise, "You've taken after your grandpa. You're so young, yet you have so much strength and are incredibly brave. You dared to cut off a head with one stroke. Good, good!"

He smiled broadly, looking at his eldest granddaughter who was covered in chicken blood, and he was very satisfied.

Meng Qi ignored the old man, her face covered in blood spots, and looked up at Lin Qingquan, who had silently entered the courtyard. She asked fiercely, "Who are you?"

Meng Jiu turned around, and when she saw who it was, her face immediately fell.

"dad."

"No, I don't deserve that title."

Meng Jiu turned her head and threw the basin she was holding on the ground with a "clatter," her back to Lin Qingquan, showing no intention of paying any more attention to him.

Mengqi's eyes darted around, and her little brain immediately realized who this person was.

At this moment, both father and daughter were attracted to each other and looked each other up and down.

The little girl stared curiously at her father's obviously empty sleeve and asked, "Why do you only have one arm?"
