Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Jingzhi enjoyed the fight for a while, but when she walked out the door and saw him being pointed at by others, she began to feel distressed again.

She felt heartbroken for just a second, but when she saw Lin Jiu's happy eyes, she immediately lowered her head again.

Zhe Gu felt the force on her arm gradually increasing, and she turned around to look at Jingzhi.

She patted Jingzhi's hand to comfort him, changed her position, walked between Lin Jiu and Jingzhi, and said to Lin Jiu:

"Brother, how did you find this place?"

Lin Jiu glanced at the people around him with a stern face. After they dispersed one after another, unable to bear his cold gaze, he slowly said:

"Nianying came out to buy something and saw... Jingzhi."

It was then that he realized that he seemed to rarely call her name.

She has always been by his side, preparing various things for him, so there is no need to call her.

You are the one I usually communicate with.

Lin Jiu suddenly realized that he seemed to be taking things for granted.

Because he knew that she liked him, he dragged his feet and refused to admit his love, and he took it for granted that he should enjoy everything she gave him.

This slap... he really deserved it.

Lin Jiu, who had felt a little embarrassed just now, no longer felt embarrassed. Instead, he felt even more lost, and even his head gradually drooped.

Seeing his desperate look, Zhe Gu wanted to slap him hard on the back of the head.

But he felt sorry for his senior brother, so he paused, turned around, and returned to his previous position. He even deliberately walked to the middle and pushed Jingzhi towards him.

When she walked away, Jingzhi was afraid of stepping on her, so he took a step towards Lin Jiu, but bumped into Lin Jiu with his shoulder.

He subconsciously reached out to hold her arm, and couldn't help muttering, "Jingzhi, be careful."

The name that he had only called out in a hurry before now came out of his mouth easily.

Jingzhi was not surprised, but just felt tired.

She sighed, gently brushed away Lin Jiu's hand, and said very seriously:

"Uncle Jiu, I was irrational before. I bit you and hit you."

She took a deep breath, regained all her rationality, and then slowly said:

"What I said before was all from my heart. Don't touch me until you have thought it through, okay?"

Lin Jiu looked at her somewhat helplessly. At this moment, he was so tongue-tied that he didn't have the alertness he had when he was deceiving the Marshal.

After thinking for a while, I realized that now was not the time to talk about this, so I nodded obediently.

Just then, Lin Jiu's stomach made a rumbling sound.

He immediately covered it up, straightened his neck, and glanced at the two of them with some embarrassment.

Jingzhi frowned slowly: "Is your stomach not healed yet?"

This shouldn't be the case. She gave him all her spiritual power. He's just a piece of mustard. It shouldn't be that serious, right?

Sugarcane Girl looked at his red ears and said jokingly:

"I'm afraid someone is so worried that they can't eat all day and are starving, right?"

Lin Jiu hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word. He could only glare at Zhe Gu secretly, but was glared back at by Zhe Gu.

Sugarcane Girl: So funny! I don’t like you anymore, but I can’t stand any loss!

Jingzhi looked at the setting sun half hanging on the side, estimated the time, and then said softly:

"There's still time. Let's go have a meal first. The evil baby probably won't come out until dark."

Zhe Gu twisted her lips and whispered:

"He's not a zombie. You're just saying you care about him. What kind of lame excuse is that?"

Jingzhi had sharp ears. She caught a glimpse of Lin Jiu's relaxed expression and couldn't help blushing.

Caring about him seemed to have become her instinct...

……

The three of them came to a noodle shop. As soon as they sat down, Zhe Gu called out to the boss who was wiping the table:

"Boss, three bowls of pork noodle."

Jingzhi spoke faster than he could think, "Two bowls of pork offal noodles and one bowl of clear soup noodles. He can't eat anything too oily for the time being—"

Before she finished speaking, she couldn't help but cover her forehead to block her panic-stricken eyes, and sighed repeatedly. She really couldn't bear to look at the expressions of the other two people.

At this moment, Lin Jiu, who was trying to squeeze in and sit next to her, had tenderness in his eyes that he could not hide.

The sugarcane girl opposite her kept kicking her feet under the table. She leaned over with her hands on the table, and said with a mocking look on her face:

"You're done. Subconscious actions can reveal a person's inner thoughts. You're completely trapped!"

At this moment, Zhe Gu never expected that what she kicked was not Jingzhi's foot, but Lin Jiu's.

Lin Jiu looked down at his clothes and saw several footprints on the hem.

Lin Jiu's face became darker and darker. This piece of clothing was the light yellow robe that Jingzhi gave him.

He usually wouldn't be willing to wear it, but this guy kicked him out.

He couldn't help but stretch out his legs and kick Zhegu's chair.

Zhe Gu discovered it the moment his foot stretched out.

Her eyes darkened and she immediately kicked back.

Jingzhi only felt bursts of muffled sounds coming from under the table, and the table top gradually began to shake.

She looked back at the shop owner who was hesitating at the kitchen door with a tray in his hand, and quickly stopped him.

"Okay, you two are already in your forties, stop being so childish."

Zhe Gu curled her lips and pointed at Lin Jiu: "He is forty-two, and I am thirty, it is the time of youth and beauty!"

The fighting stopped, and the shop owner took the opportunity to come forward and presented the noodles one by one. Then he gave Jingzhi a grateful smile:

"Sir, please enjoy your meal!"

Jingzhi nodded, exchanged the bowl of clear soup noodles in front of Zhegu with the bowl of pork noodle in front of Lin Jiu, then lowered his eyes and said lightly:

"Eat, then it's time to work."

"……Um."

Lin Jiu took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, handed one pair to Jingzhi first, then flattened the chopstick heads, picked up a chopstick of light noodles, and slowly began to eat.

Weird.

Although this noodle is light, it is inexplicably sweet.

He looked at his tongue, and it must have been burned by the mustard...

……

Zhe Gu was facing outside the store. She had just eaten a whole chicken at Lai Lai Hotel. After taking a few bites of noodles, she couldn't eat anymore.

When she saw the lion dance team passing by after their performance outside, she had an idea and rushed out immediately.

Jingzhi: "...What is she doing?"

Lin Jiu put down his chopsticks, turned around and explained to her softly:

"She must have gone to borrow some costumes. Lions are used to ward off evil spirits. This lion dance troupe just performed at the nearby Guandi Temple. They still carry the scent of Guan Yu's incense. I think the evil baby would be scared."

Jingzhi supported her face with one hand and looked thoughtfully at Zhe Gu talking to the group of lion dance boys. After watching for a few seconds, she couldn't help but smile softly.

This girl has a round face. When she speaks, she puts her hands on her hips and looks very self-righteous. She is really... cute.

By the way, when Zhe Gu saved her just now, he was also very handsome~

Lin Jiu looked at his junior sister who was lying outside like a hen, and then looked at Jingzhi who had an aunt's smile on her face.

Alarm bells suddenly sounded in my heart.

So he stretched out a hand to block her view.

Jingzhi: "...What are you doing? Eat your noodles."

She pushed his hand away, and the curve of her mouth gradually widened when she saw Zhe Gu.

“…I’m done.”

Lin Jiu was jealous and unhappy.

Jingzhi suddenly frowned and turned her head to look at the man who was holding her hand tightly and was not keeping his word.

"I'm still in the probation period, let me go!"

It was the first time that Lin Jiu heard the word "probation period", but he could roughly understand its meaning just by looking at the literal meaning.

As if his love had suddenly been awakened, he explained to her very seriously:

"I used to like Xiaolian, but not anymore. Now I only have feelings for her like a senior apprentice brother and sister."

Jingzhi looked at him with sincerity for a few seconds before slowly brushing his hand away and saying:

"Some things can't just be said."

Lin Jiu silently withdrew his hand that was frozen in mid-air, feeling a little disappointed.

I couldn't help but turn my head and say to her:

"Can you please stop calling me Uncle Nine?"

When he mentioned this, Jingzhi smiled, and her bright eyes sparkled for a moment, which made Lin Jiu stunned.

She said, "Didn't you suggest that I not be called Jiu?"

Jingzhi clapped his hands with an innocent look on his face, "You are so fickle. It's okay if I don't call you Uncle Jiu. I will call you Taoist Lin."

Lin Jiuyi suddenly felt a little indigestion.

……

At this moment, Zhe Gu came in with a lion head and two sets of clothes. "Okay, okay, let's get started. It's getting dark now, and your Taoist priest must have eaten his fill."

Jingzhi's face turned red after hearing what she said. She couldn't help but stand up, walked over and patted her hand gently.

She muttered quietly, "It's not mine."

"Okay, okay, it's not yours. Let's go?"

Jingzhi agreed obediently, "Okay."

She looked at Zhe Gu's face, which was smiling wildly, and suddenly an impulse surged in her heart.

"Candy girl, can I be your friend?"

Zhe Gu looked surprised: "I thought we were already."

Jingzhi was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly took the lion head from under her armpit, smiled brightly, and said loudly:

"It already is!"

……

I don’t know if the Marshal has recovered from his illness or if it’s getting late, but there are still many guards at the front door of the Marshal’s Mansion, but there are far fewer at the back door.

Lin Jiu and his two companions walked around the front door and came to the backyard, where they placed a cart full of spirit baby statues and lion costumes on the lawn.

Lin Jiu lowered his voice and said, "Zhe Gu, you stay here and watch over the things. Jingzhi and I are familiar with the terrain. We will sneak in first and ask Qiu Sheng and Wencai to help."

The two nodded. Zhe Gu half squatted down and said something to the car spirit baby. Jingzhi took a look and followed Lin Jiu.

They climbed up from the windowsill at the back and came to the corridor on the second floor.

Jingzhi lowered her body, put her mouth close to the crouching Lin Jiu's ear, and whispered softly:

"Split up into two groups. You go find Wencai and Qiusheng, and I'll go check on Michelin."

As soon as he finished speaking, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he turned his head and Jingzhi's lips instantly brushed against his earlobe.

A little cold...soft.

Jingzhi immediately took a step back, clenching his fists tightly, "You!"

Lin Jiu turned back and looked at her innocently: "What's wrong? I agree with what you said. I'll go this way."

As soon as he finished speaking, he crouched down and quickly slipped away from the right.

During this time, the light from inside shone on his head. Jingzhi noticed his red earlobes with her sharp eyes and was so angry that her teeth were itching.

So cunning and shameless!

Just then, his "Lian Mei" called again.

"Ah~ It hurts!"

Jingzhi's heart tightened. Could it be that the evil baby was about to be born?

She quickly crouched down and quietly moved towards the corridor on the left.

Jingzhi didn't understand why she and Lin Jiu were discovered by that woman even though they were obviously careful enough last time.

This time she was extremely careful, holding her breath, her footsteps almost soundless, and she quietly looked inside from the window.

Unexpectedly, the room is now full of life.

The woman was wearing cool clothes, and Michelin was holding her waist tightly, seemingly sucking something from her chest?

Tsk.

Could she have discovered some secret?!

Does Michelin appeal to both men and women?

Just as she was daydreaming, the woman seemed to be in pain. She slightly turned sideways, revealing a bleeding wound on her chest.

Michelin was sucking the blood from her chest like a vampire. Her face was slightly ferocious, which was completely different from the gentle look she had seen during the day.

Jingzhi was shocked.

When zombies suck blood, their strength will increase greatly. What about evil babies?

No! We have to find Lin Jiu quickly!

……

The other end.

Lin Jiu searched several rooms and finally found Nian Ying's room, where he discovered the three of them.

Through the wide-open door, I saw that the three of them seemed to have become blind, their eyes wide open, and their hands were groping for something like a blind man touching an elephant.

Jingzhi also arrived at this time. She took a look and was puzzled. She couldn't help asking:

"Hey, what are they doing?"

Lin Jiu only took one look at the door and knew that it was an illusion.

Before I could explain to Jingzhi, I saw Qiu Sheng playing hide-and-seek, yelling:

"Nianying, Nianying, where are you?"

Lin Jiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, cleared his throat, and said in a deliberately coquettish voice:

"I'm here~"

The voice was melodious and graceful.

Jingzhi turned around suddenly, and at that moment, she even suspected that Lin Jiu was possessed by Erdi.

Lin Jiu felt the burning gaze from the side of his face, and then he came to his senses and realized that Jingzhi was still there.

His face turned red in an instant, and before he could say anything, Qiu Sheng hugged his waist tightly.

Lin Jiu was immediately furious. He raised his hand and slapped Qiu Sheng hard on the back of the head, waking him up.

"You little brat, you didn't even know someone cast a spell on you!"

He was a little angry and embarrassed, so he walked forward quickly and quickly removed the illusion on Wencai and Nianying.

The situation is urgent and there is no time for overthinking.

The five of them quickly formed a circle and discussed nervously in low voices.

In less than a moment, the discussion was over. Lin Jiu nodded slightly at Jingzhi, and then the two of them hurried back downstairs along the same way they came.

"I'm telling you, I just saw Michelin sucking that woman's blood!"

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Jingzhi couldn't help but tell Lin Jiu everything.

Hearing this, Lin Jiu's expression suddenly became serious, "Oh no, this is going to be difficult."

"It's going to get worse, isn't it?"

Lin Jiu nodded and quickly walked towards Zhe Gu and the group of spirit babies that had come out to play. "Hurry up, or the evil baby will be born!"
