I let you be a fugitive, not to set up a private army.

In the yard, Chen Jiajun was holding a lantern, and the mottled bloodstains were reflected in the light, and the white lantern gradually emerged in the picture.

---

"Ah Huang, hurry up and leave."

The old cow's head was covered in blood. It tried to get up, but it only stood halfway before falling down again.

Next to him, a tall and thin young man raised his hoe high in the air, but was stopped by a woman: "Xu Gui, Dad said, raise Ah Huang until he is old and not kill him."

"Get out of here. I have the final say in this family now." Xu Gui pushed the woman away and smashed her down with the hoe.

Moo——

The woman was pushed away again, bang bang...

The hoe hit the cow's head a few more times, splashing a glaring scarlet.

"If you hit him again, he will die." On the other side, the butcher who was sharpening his knife said.

The young man put down his hoe, but he seemed to be still not satisfied. He raised it again and hit the cow's head hard:

"You beast, are you going to steal from me again?"

The cow's eyes were stuck with blood and slowly closed, and its head drooped to the ground.

……

"I've found it at last, my dear."

The young man dug out a bloody object from the untied cow's stomach and walked towards the washing pool, muttering to himself, "I wonder how much it's worth."

He turned on the faucet and rinsed the object in his hand, revealing a palm-sized black Buddha statue.

A moment later, the sound of hurried boy's footsteps and mournful cries were heard in the yard:

“Ah Huang!!”

The boy fell on the bloody bull head, "It's my fault that I failed to protect you. Why did you kill Ah Huang? Why..."

"I'm already dead, I'm just an animal."

The young man held the black Buddha statue in his arms and continued with a cheerful expression, "I didn't intend to kill this animal, but it swallowed my treasure."

"Xu Gui, something is wrong." The butcher suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"The cow is crying." The butcher involuntarily stepped back.

"Ah Huang?" The boy was also stunned. When he saw that the cow's body had been cut into bones, he felt like a huge stone was blocking his heart.

"It should be normal. Snakes will still bite people after they die." The young man continued to be obsessed with the treasure in his hand.

"It's not normal." The butcher shook his head because the cow opened its eyes.

"This Buddha statue of mine..." The young man's face was slightly dazed. He found that the Buddha statue's eyes were open, but he clearly remembered that they were closed just now.

The next moment, the Buddha statue dissipated from his hand like quicksand, turning into a black light and sinking into the cow's body.

Moo——

The roar made the ground shake slightly.

In the trembling pupils of Xu Gui and the butcher, the cow, covered in bones, stood up, its remaining blood dripping...

“It’s alive!”

"what--"

The screams of fear stopped abruptly.

Following the lantern's guidance, Chen Jiajun walked towards a house on the side. He could still hear the voices of people outside the house:

"The ground was shaking at that time. It was really scary. And Xu Gui was the same. Why did he kill Ah Huang for no reason?"

"Uncle Demon Hunter, Ah Huang didn't hurt me and my mother. Will it really turn into a monster?"

"Well, many monsters still have a trace of nature when they are first born, but they will soon lose it completely due to pollution and become terrifying monsters full of malice towards humans."

Zhang Xun paused, "Your Ah Huang, I'm really sorry, the Demon Hunting Team can only clean it up."

The boy was stunned for a moment, then spoke again: "I want to see Ah Huang again. Can I go with you to find it?"

"This is not allowed by the rules. It's too dangerous, and your mother wouldn't agree."

"Alas, I believe Ah Huang will not harm my child."

"Ah... well, it's good to give the kid some courage. Maybe he can become a powerful demon hunter like me in the future."

Zhang Xun rubbed the boy's head and said, "Don't be sad, man. Cheer up. I'll take you to see Ah Huang, but I won't show any mercy. Can you accept that?"

"Well, if Ah Huang has turned into a monster, I can accept it."

The boy continued, "Ah Huang looks very powerful. He seems to be more powerful than many monsters in books. Uncle, can you beat him?"

"It should be no problem. Uncle is just injured now. If he were in his prime, even if he faced a fierce and strange creature, I wouldn't be afraid and could handle it for a few moves."

"Uncle, you are really amazing. You can even fight against these strange creatures."

“Haha, that’s awesome.”

"Ah."

In the yard, a smile flashed across Chen Jiajun's face. It was easy to imagine:

The young demon hunter was looked at with admiration by the children, and he looked very happy.

Walking into the house, the scene appeared again in the light of the white lanterns.

---

"How come you have nothing valuable left? Old man, you're such a poor bastard that you don't even leave some money for your son to spend."

The tall and thin young man rummaged through the drawers and cabinets in the house that had not been lived in for a long time, and finally prepared to leave dejectedly.

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "Why do I always feel like I have a treasure?"

He returned and searched through the boxes and cabinets again, but found nothing. He angrily threw away the useless bowl in his hand:

"Nothing. Maybe that damned big brother took away the valuables. No wonder he died so early..."

thump--

He tripped and fell to the ground.

"Brother, I shouldn't have said that to you..."

The tall and thin young man's voice suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and he saw the person who had just tripped him -

It is a black Buddha statue. Its simple and ancient shape makes it a treasure at first glance.

Things with a sense of age are not just for collection, they also have the effect of warding off evil spirits and can be sold for a large amount of money, enough for you to spend the rest of your life comfortably playing cards every day.

Just as I was about to pick up the Buddha statue——

A cow's cry came into his ears, and the young man was knocked to the ground slightly by the cow that suddenly rushed in.

"What are you doing, you dead cow?" Xu Gui stood up with a look of dissatisfaction and kicked the cow, "Get out of here!"

Then he bent over to pick up the treasure again, but was knocked down by the cow again.

"You beast, you don't want to live anymore!"

Xu Gui's face was filled with anger, and his gaze was filled with——

The cow shook its head frantically, its eyes showing anxiety, and it was still mooing.

He asked, "What do you want to say?"

The next moment, the cow stepped on the Buddha statue.

"What are you doing, beast? This is my treasure! Lift your foot!" After Xu Gui fiercely kicked the ox a few times, he saw that the Buddha statue was intact and his expression became more and more joyful. "This is definitely a treasure of high quality."

He reached out to pick it up with great joy, but was pushed away by the cow again.

"I understand now. You, the beast, have tried to stop me time and time again because you wanted to leave this treasure to my nephew." Xu Gui was completely furious.

The cow kept shaking its head, its pupils looking at the black Buddha statue on the ground, flashing with fear.

Unfortunately, it couldn't speak, and happened to meet Xu Gui, who didn't care about or understand it.

Or maybe, all of this was foreseen by the "Strange Buddha"!

These thoughts flashed through Chen Jiajun's mind. The last image of this place in the white lantern...
