The useless second daughter of the Hua family

In the end, with Pi Fu's insistence, they stayed there.

For safety reasons, they only cleaned up two rooms, with men and women living separately. With the help of Ge Qinglan's treasure bag, the rooms were finally cleaned up to be barely habitable.

"Don't be afraid, little Pi Fu. If it thunders and rains at night, you can come to your sister's arms."

"roll!"

Hua Miaomiao originally just made a joke, but she didn't expect it to come true.

At night, there were howling winds, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain. Even though she knew Xiuzhu had set up a protective barrier around the room, Hua Miaomiao was still worried and couldn't fall asleep at all.

"Sister..." Pi Fu beside her suddenly murmured.

"Pi Fu?" Hua Miaomiao thought she woke up, but after waiting for a long time there was no response.

Pi Fu's body was trembling slightly, and with the sound of thunder, she began to sob.

Hua Miaomiao tried to wake her up, but Pi Fu was completely trapped in a dream. She kept shouting, "Sister, don't go," and cried heartbreakingly.

Hua Miaomiao had never thought that Pi Fu would be so fragile, and she felt a pang of pain in her heart. She reached out and hugged her, coaxing Pi Fu the same way her aunt had coaxed her before.

"Be good, sister is here, don't be afraid, sister will protect you."

I don't know if it really worked, but Pi Fu gradually calmed down. She tightly grasped Hua Miaomiao's clothes, buried herself in her arms, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Hua Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment she became nervous again, as she felt someone was looking at her intently. Is there someone in this room?

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

"Xiuzhu?"

"I'm sorry to scare you. I came to check on her."

Hua Miaomiao thought that Xiuzhu seemed to know that Pi Fu would have an attack, and it seemed that this was an old problem.

"Why is Pi Fu so afraid of thunder?" Pi Fu is quite skilled in Taoism, so even if she still has some instincts left, she shouldn't be so afraid. "Is it related to her elder sister?" she guessed.

Xiuzhu was silent for a long time, so long that Hua Miaomiao thought she would never get an answer. He slowly spoke, "When my sister was punished by heaven, Pi Fu tried to break into the formation and was injured by the thunder. Maybe she was not afraid of the thunder, but the moment when my sister disappeared before her eyes."

Xiuzhu closed his eyes and calmed himself down. "The thunder and lightning seem to have stopped. You should take some time to rest."

When they turned around, they saw Ge Qinglan looking at them with a complicated expression.

Ge Qinglan didn't doubt that his master had something going on with Miaomiao. But Hua Miaomiao's intimacy with the monster made him wonder if she really treated all creatures equally, or if she was just being affectionate to a certain monster.

The next morning, the postmaster looked at the people who came down the stairs safely and widened his eyes in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

Come to think of it, the strong wind last night almost blew away the entire second floor, and the houses next door were reduced to ruins. Only the two rooms they lived in were intact.

Ge Qinglan patted his shoulder sympathetically and comforted him: "Don't take it too seriously, little brother, it's just good luck."

The postmaster came to his senses and suddenly fell to his knees, which scared Ge Qinglan.

"I am blind and don't know you masters. I hope you can put aside your past grudges and save my family's lives."

As he spoke, he began to sob. He was originally skinny and short, and now that he was crying with tears and snot running down his face, he looked even more pitiful.

Pi Fu and Xiu Zhu looked at each other. They didn't want to meddle in other people's business and cause trouble. Before they could refuse, Ge Qinglan said, "Don't cry yet. If you have something to say, come and tell us. We will try our best to help you."

"Oh my god!" Pi Fu was so upset that she wanted to curse. Hua Miaomiao laughed quietly beside her. She had long guessed that Ge Qinglan would agree. Although everyone thought he was a good-for-nothing dude, she knew better than anyone the chivalrous spirit in his bones.

They cleared a space in the hall, and Ge Qinglan took out some cushions so that everyone could find a comfortable spot to listen to stories.

The postmaster watched him take things out of a palm-sized bag one by one as if performing magic tricks, and he became even more certain that they had boundless supernatural powers.

The postmaster's original surname was Lin, and his family lived in Baiyang Town, five miles away from here. Lin was originally a traveling merchant, and he met his current wife Chen by chance when he passed by Baiyang Town. The two hit it off immediately, and soon got married and had a daughter. In order to take care of his wife and daughter, he stopped running around and asked someone to find a job in the government office.

However, the good times didn't last long. A while ago, strange things started to happen in his home. At first, it was just some small things like pots and pans breaking for no reason, but then the situation gradually got worse. It started at night, with roof tiles falling and almost hitting his head, or kitchen knives appearing next to his pillow for no reason. Although no one was really hurt, living there always made people feel nervous.

Long-term mental torture and lack of sleep caused him to make repeated mistakes while on duty, and he was eventually transferred to this remote post station to be the postmaster.

He had invited several fortune tellers, and they all said that the thing in the house was very fierce. They were either thrown out without being injured, or turned around and left as soon as they entered the yard. He originally wanted to take his family out to avoid it, but his daughter burst into tears as soon as she went out, crying so hard that she was out of breath. After trying several times and it was the same every time, they didn't dare to try again.

Hua Miaomiao listened silently, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "It's getting stronger."

"What do you mean?" Ge Qinglan was puzzled.

"It was learning how to control. At first it could only randomly destroy the furnishings in the house, but later it slowly began to approach people. Those few times of narrow escapes were probably not because it was showing mercy, but more like it was testing again and again, learning more accurate control capabilities."

"He's really fierce." Pi Fu said to Ge Qinglan with a deliberately emphasized tone.

Ge Qinglan knew he was in the wrong and agreed to it in a fit of rage. How could he handle it? He scratched his head awkwardly and turned to Xiuzhu for help.

"Master, this brother is so pitiful, can we help him?"

Lin Yicheng knelt down in front of Xiuzhu and kowtowed repeatedly. "Please, great immortal, save my family. I am willing to sacrifice my life just for the safety of my wife and daughter."

Xiuzhu looked at Ge Qinglan and realized that he still disliked him because he always caused trouble for others.

Seeing that Xiuzhu hadn't expressed his opinion, Ge Qinglan felt very nervous. He thought to himself that he had learned a lot from Xiuzhu these days, and he didn't know if he could defeat that thing even if he tried his best.

Hua Miaomiao on the side suddenly laughed, "This is a good opportunity to see how well Ge Qinglan has learned. Xiuzhu, don't be soft-hearted when the time comes."

"Okay." Xiuzhu replied.

"Hua Miaomiao, just protect him." Pi Fu couldn't help rolling her eyes. If Hua Miaomiao didn't speak up, with Xiuzhu's indifferent personality, he probably wouldn't go, okay?

Hua Miaomiao tried to get away with it with a silly smile.

"Don't laugh, it's silly enough already."
