"I...I said it looked like a koi fish."

Bai Gengming said "feeling" as "feeling", and I don't know where the accent was.

"Koi?" Little Pei scratched his head. "The kind you put on windows?"

"Yeah." Bai Gengming nodded reluctantly.

"But it's a pig." Little Pei found it outrageous just by listening to it.

Bai Gengming thought of something and quickly explained, "Some koi are as fat as pigs. I know one out there. If I have the chance, I'll bring it here for you to see, and you'll know."

Pei Xiaohai: "...Why did you bring the fish to me?"

Come over here and show it to you.

A proper fish, without legs, right?

Bai Gengming thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take you to show it later."

Pei Xiaohai: ...Why is it looking at me? I'm not a rare creature like a pig or a koi.

This sounds awkward.

And... maybe it was because he had been looking for too long that his eyes became blurry. Pei stared at Bai Gengming for a while, and it seemed that he saw a big white rat with red eyes again.

She shifted her gaze to Second Lady Bai with suspicion and looked at her carefully for a long time.

Wow!

A large white mouse with black eyes.

They look a bit alike, but Second Grandma Bai has more silver hair.

Yes, mother and son, her eyebrows also seem to be similar to Aunt Pei...

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Bai Gengming waved his claws in front of her eyes. "What are you staring at?"

Little Pei stared at the claw intently and couldn't help but move back: "No, nothing."

Little Pei tremblingly hugged the trembling Pumpkin, sat between the four frightened pigs, and looked at the motionless Pei Pig Belly:

Poor baby, how can I save you?

Bai Gengming was confused and asked, "Nothing, why are you shaking?"

"Maybe it's cold. It's better to be clearer. Stop playing with Master Xiao's pig."

After being silent for a while, Mrs. Bai Er suddenly spoke.

As soon as Bai Gengming let go, Pei Zhudu immediately rushed back to the child, wishing he could hide the whole pig behind her.

Yesterday, Bai Gengming was hiding his demonic aura, and none of them noticed anything dangerous about the little white mouse. But today was different, it just came to their door so carelessly...

Little Pei was not as sensitive as cats and pigs, and could not sense the dangerous breath of monsters. She was just afraid of everything she saw. But the good news was that as long as she didn't look closely, Second Grandma Bai was still the kind old lady, and Bai Gengming was just a beautiful child with a different appearance.

She felt that she should run, but the immense fear froze her there. Her whole body was stiff, only her brain was still moving, constantly recalling the scene she had just seen.

Little Pei was terrified of mice, but she didn't know why. She wasn't afraid of anything bigger than a mouse, but she was terrified of those little creatures that rustled and scurried around in the night.

At one point, she was worried that these things would sneak into her quilt and gnaw her feet. But when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was a story that Master Jingneng told her after she saw that she kept kicking the quilt. This was the reason why little Pei would obediently hold the edge of the quilt down when she slept.

But she would still kick the quilt after falling asleep, and this story could only give her nightmares.

She dreamed of a mouse chasing her. She hid in her bed, thinking she was safe, but there was another mouse hiding in the bed, gnawing at her feet and crawling up her legs...

Or maybe she was putting on her shoes and suddenly stepped on something furry and squeaking...

She usually dreams of black rats, but if it were the rare white rats, it would seem even more frightening.

Pei Xiaohai sat there silently. Her body was still there, but her soul had gone somewhere unknown. She didn't hear Bai Gengming talking to her.

"Mom, what's wrong with her?"

"Nothing serious, just calm down the evil spirit and light some soul-soothing incense."

Little Pei smelled a very fragrant scent, which was even better than the scent of powder on Liu Ganniang's body, but it was not sweet enough to make people dizzy. Instead, it was a very refreshing scent that smelled very comfortable, so comfortable that it made people sleepy. Once she felt sleepy, she could not remember any of her worries.

"Mom, she's asleep."

"Go to sleep. Being able to sleep is a blessing. There are so many people who toss and turn with things on their minds, and it's hard to even sleep."

Mrs. Bai's voice became a little unclear. Little Pei was asleep, and the cat and the pig were asleep too.

At first they were curled up in a ball, but soon they were lying on their backs.

Bai Gengming curiously moved forward to look at the cat, scratched its chin, poked its belly, and touched its tail. When his eyes looked at a certain place, his pupils suddenly shrank.

This cat... is just like him...

"Geng Ming, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing," Bai Gengming pursed his lips. "Her cat is really ugly. Don't people like beautiful things? Why did she raise such a weird cat? And why did she let it sleep with the pigs they feed on?"

"Everyone has their own good qualities," Second Mrs. Bai said meaningfully, "She is a very special child."

Bai Gengming hated hearing the word "special" the most: "Is there something wrong with her?"

"I hope not..." Mrs. Bai said, and then stopped.

It was late, but the moon was as bright as day.

It really didn't seem like a good day for mice to go out, but a mouse half the height of a man still crawled out of the cellar and took a deep breath of the moonlight.

Stand up straight and walk forward.

Dense swarms of rats surrounded it and rushed directly into the hall, gnawing at everything they could chew.

Little Pei was half asleep and half awake when he saw the strange-looking cane of Second Mrs. Bai.

This dove-shaped staff is particularly long, with a curved bottom and a half-pointed and half-round shape at the bottom, and the top looks like several branches gathered together.

It seems like it would look better if there was something inside.

Just like now, there is a bright bead inside, and there is a ball of fire around the bead.

What's burning? It's making a lot of noise and smells like meat...

Little Pei was a little drowsy, but she remembered a sharp claw scratching her from a distance, and then several white lights rushed towards her.

then……

Second Lady Bai knocked the owner of the claw away with one blow of her stick, picked her up, and muttered in confusion:

"It's okay?"

The last thing Pei Xiaohai saw was that the statue of Yinggu was broken and the main hall collapsed.

Everything she had experienced in the past few days seemed like a dream. When she woke up, she was lying on a swaying ox cart.

Shuanzi said in a muffled voice, "The young lady is awake, Master."

A bearded donkey face came into her sight.

"Where have you been, you little bastard? You looked like a beggar, making it so hard for me to find you? I almost turned the floor over, and you were sleeping so soundly! Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back! See this rattan stick? I bought it especially for you!"

Liu Renben, who promised Pei Zhu not to get angry, did not get angry. He just exploded.

After searching for several days, I found that he looked like a ghost. He was sleeping peacefully in a dead end, hugging an ugly cat and a smelly pig, and his saliva was dripping from his sleep.

He has been to this alley several times. Who would believe that this little bastard didn't deliberately bother him?

Pei Xiaohai: ...Is this still a nightmare?

……

In the temple on the mountain.

Bai Gengming looked at the hall, which had collapsed beyond repair, and said in disbelief, "Mother, is this Ying Gu really someone you respect?"

"Yeah." Mrs. Bai looked a little embarrassed.

Bai Gengming: "Then why did you defeat them all with just one move?"

Second Mrs. Bai tugged at her clothes uncomfortably, "I'm just afraid that if I don't go easy on them, the mice will get eaten alive later."

Besides, look at this worm-eaten and rat-bitten mess, it’s not entirely my mother’s fault.”

"Oh, really? What about it? It didn't move its mouth lightly, why did you still keep it?" Bai Gengming pointed to a half-human-sized black rat on the ground.

Second Grandma Bai: "There's a saying that goes, 'forgive others when you can.' You killed someone's daughter, so of course it's going to be angry. But no one was hurt, so forget it."

Bai Gengming said unwillingly, "If they don't steal my things, I won't kill them."

"Oh, come on, don't laugh at me if you're only fifty steps away. There's no mouse that doesn't steal. I've already snatched it back from you," Second Lady Bai said nonchalantly. "Just keep watch. Be alert. If things get tough, run away. The spirit core is almost fully grown. I'm afraid everything will happen, both the inevitable and the inevitable."

Mrs. Bai picked up the big black rat on the ground, leaned on her cane, walked a few steps, and then turned into a wisp of white smoke and drilled into the ground.

It's so old, but still has to walk so far. It really cares about itself!
