My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 140: The Man with the Baby Seeks for His Wife (20)

Chu Zhizhi had been feeling weak all over recently. Even when the doctor came to treat her, he couldn't explain why. When Taoist Master Chang Yu said that she was possessed by an evil spirit, her parents asked him to cure Chu Zhizhi.

Chu Zhizhi didn't believe this, but since everyone around her believed it, her opinion became unimportant.

Leaning back in the carriage, Chu Zhizhi lazily looked at Chu Xiang who was sitting opposite her.

Chu Xiang kept his eyes closed and rested, as if he was catching up on sleep because he didn't get enough rest.

Chu Zhizhi originally wanted to live in a small place with this young lady, and she would definitely be bullied. If Chu Xiang thought that she was easy to bully, she was wrong.

But unexpectedly, Chu Xiang was very quiet the whole time, and Chu Zhizhi didn't use any of the plans she had prepared in her mind. Her fist hadn't even hit the cotton yet, and the force that was not exerted was held back, so she hurt herself.

The carriage jolted and Chu Zhizhi hit her head, crying out immediately.

The car door was pushed open, and Pei Yuzhou, who was sitting outside driving the car, asked nervously: "Zhizhi, what's wrong?"

Seeing Chu Zhizhi covering her head again, Pei Yuzhou frowned and looked at the person on the other side with an unfriendly look.

Chu Xiang opened his eyes and looked back at him openly.

The carriage stopped, and Chang Yu's young face appeared, "What happened?"

Pei Yuzhou cared too much about Chu Zhizhi that he temporarily forgot to keep the proper distance in front of outsiders. After entering the carriage, he held Chu Zhizhi's hand tightly, looking at the faint red mark on her forehead with concern, his eyes filled with heartache.

"Zhizhi, I'm here, you can tell me any grievances you've suffered."

Chu Zhizhi blushed slightly, wondering what Pei Yuzhou was thinking. Chu Xiang was right next to him, so why didn't he go and show his courtesy to her?

At this time, Chang Yu threw out a medicine bottle, which happened to fall into Pei Yuzhou's hand. He smiled and said: "The medicine is very effective. Apply a little medicine and you will be fine tomorrow."

Pei Yuzhou has always been wary of Chang Yu. It is said that women's intuition is very accurate, and sometimes men's intuition is particularly strong when facing competitors. Chu Zhizhi is such a beautiful woman, it is normal for Chang Yu to be interested in Chu Zhizhi.

But now Chu Zhizhi was injured, Pei Yuzhou suppressed his dissatisfaction and said: "I would like to thank the Taoist priest on behalf of Zhizhi."

It was he who expressed his gratitude on behalf of Chu Zhizhi, and the implication of declaring sovereignty was self-evident.

Chang Yu was simple-minded and could not feel Pei Yuzhou's rejection of him. He smiled brightly and said, "It's getting late. Let's find a place to rest in the town ahead."

Then, Chang Yu looked at Chu Xiang with a smile on his face again, "Miss Chu, it must be very tiring to ride in a carriage. We will be able to rest soon."

Chu Xiang said "Oh", which made people feel that it was perfunctory.

When they arrived at the town ahead, Chang Yu was taken to an inn by the locals based on his identity as a Taoist priest. Fortunately, there was no dog-blood scene of not having enough rooms, and the four people could each sleep in a room upstairs.

It was dusk and every household on the street hung red silk, as if they were going to get married, but on the contrary, they hung white lanterns.

Chu Xiang asked the shopkeeper curiously, "Is there something important going on in the town?"

The shopkeeper laughed and explained, "The annual disaster-removing festival is coming soon. At this time of year, everyone will hang red silk and white lanterns on their doors in advance. On the day of the disaster-removing festival, everyone will light the red silk. The burning flames will keep the evil spirits away, and they will follow the lit white lanterns back to the mountains and forests, and will not harm the people."

Chu Zhizhi glanced at Chu Xiang, "Don't you know about the disaster relief festival?" Chang Yu reminded, "Miss Chu has forgotten a lot of things."

Chu Zhizhi just remembered this incident. Chu Xiang had lost her memory before, and she really got the standard script of the heroine. Unlike her, she could only become a mistress looked down upon by everyone.

Pei Yuzhou still felt guilty about Chu Xiang's disappearance and amnesia. He explained to Chu Xiang, "The disaster relief festival is a traditional custom within a hundred miles. At this time of year, the streets and alleys, inside and outside the city, will be bustling."

Chu Zhizhi said with great interest: "I like to watch the performance of the Disaster Removal Ceremony. Everyone picks up willow branches to drive away the Plague God, which means they drive away the bad luck of the year. Then good luck will come next."

Chang Yu said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow should be the disaster relief festival, why don't we stay a little longer and watch the excitement."

Chu Zhizhi's eyes lit up. Even though she knew Chang Yu was just saying it casually, she still felt secretly happy, as if Chang Yu liked her and so suggested that they stay here for two more days.

Pei Yuzhou frowned slightly, but Chang Yu's expression was calm, and there was no scheming in his innocent and clean eyes, so he didn't dare to get angry.

Many years ago, a plague swept through the country and killed many people. If it weren't for the intervention of the people in the Shinto temple, no one knows how many people would have died in this plague caused by evil spirits.

Even though so much time has passed and the older generation is no longer around, the tragic situation of that year is still passed down from generation to generation, and the Disaster Relief Festival is a festival that has slowly evolved over time.

Chu Xiang really didn't remember there was such a special festival, so when she entered her room, opened the window, and saw people on the street decorating their door lintels with red and white things, she felt a little uncomfortable.

This strange feeling of funerals and weddings mixed together seems absurd and outrageous.

Chu Xiang placed his hands on the windowsill, supporting his chin, looking into the distance, and couldn't help but think of Fusheng and Xiaoman again.

Fusheng is so clingy and Xiaoman is so young, can they take care of themselves?

The clear and pleasant melody sounded slowly and leisurely, playing together with the night wind, making this cold night more cheerful.

Chu Xiang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure on the roof on the other side.

The young man in the green Taoist robe sat on the bricks and tiles, letting his clothes rustle in the night wind.

He had handsome features and a calm expression. A fallen leaf seemed to have become the best musical instrument between his lips. The melodious sound echoed in the cold moonlit night, becoming an unexpected and stunning embellishment.

Chang Yu realized that someone was looking at him. When the voice disappeared, he opened his eyes, met the gaze of the girl through the window, raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

The next moment, the window closed and she disappeared.

Chang Yu's smile paused, and then he touched his face, feeling a strange feeling.

When Chu Xiang was staring at him just now, was the person she was looking at him?

Unable to help but, Chang Yu looked towards the closed window of another room. From that room, low obscene sounds between a man and a woman could be heard.

He subconsciously took out three more copper coins, threw them into the air, and when he caught them with his hand, he opened his hand and saw that all three copper coins were facing forward.

Chang Yu clenched the copper coin in his hand, and his eyes fell on the window again, with a determined look in his eyes.
