Moonlight and wind

Chapter 222 Bone-Eroding Rakshasa

Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu leaned against a big tree by the river, listened to the gurgling water, sat with their eyes half closed all night.

On one side of the river, the sun was about to rise. Dan Zimo was urinating by the river when he heard a sharp woman's scream. Dan Zimo was so scared that he peed all over his shoe.

"What's going on?" Shan Boyu hurriedly ran to Shan Zimo who was hurriedly tightening his waist.

"How would I know!" Shan Zimo straightened his clothes and shook off his shoes. "Where did they come from?"

Shan Boyu and Shan Zimo stretched their necks to look around, and finally found a blushing human face behind a clump of water plants.

"Who is there! Come out quickly!" Shan Boyu picked up a stone from the riverside and looked at the half face vigilantly.

The woman stood up hesitantly, and with a splash, the wooden basin beside her feet rolled out and floated on the river!

Seeing the wooden basin drifting away with the current, the three people hurriedly chased after the basin!

"I'm a village girl from the village in front. I came to the river early to wash clothes because I didn't want to run into anything like this." The girl's face was as red as the sun.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't urinate and defecate anywhere!" Shan Zimo scratched his head. "It's uncivilized of me. Please forgive me, young lady." As they were talking, their stomachs began to growl as if they had agreed beforehand.

The girl chuckled and said, "If you don't mind, come to my house and have a bowl of porridge!"

"I'm so embarrassed!" Shan Boyu said as he ran back to pick up his bag and looked at Shan Zimo expectantly.

"Is your village far away?" Shan Zimo asked worriedly.

"Not far, just behind the woods, just a few steps away."

“How many households are there in the village?”

"Hmm?" The girl was a little confused, but still answered, "Eight households, including me, there are thirty-one people in the village. What's the use of knowing all this, young master?"

"That's good. Let's go. There are still some fish here. We caught them last night. Take them back, girl. They will pay for our meal!" Shan Zimo thought, even if he couldn't defeat these thirty or so people, he could at least run away!

The girl carried the unwashed clothes and led them into a small village. The village looked very simple, with the roofs covered with river grass. The villagers they met on the way were all tanned by the sun and showed simple smiles.

On one side of the village, we came to the girl's home. A fence made of branches simply surrounded a small courtyard, and white smoke was rising from the chimney.

"Mom, a guest is coming!" The girl put the basin in the yard, pushed the door and walked into the house. After a while, an energetic old woman came out.

"Okay, since you're a guest, come in and sit down!" the old woman greeted Shan Zimo and the other man.

Shan Zimo put one hand behind his back, activated his inner strength, and released invisible tentacles from his palm, swimming towards the old woman. Soon, Shan Zimo collected his inner strength, and walked into the house with a smiling face.

The low house was very clean. White porridge was already served on the small square table, with a few dishes of pickles in the middle. Shan Boyu swallowed his saliva, waiting for Shan Zimo to speak.

"Hurry up and sit down to eat. Look at the child, he's so thin from hunger!" The old woman took Shan Boyu's hand and asked him to sit next to her. She brought a bowl of steaming porridge and placed it in front of him. "Eat!" The loving look made Shan Boyu completely let down his guard. He picked up the bowl and drank the porridge.

Shan Zimo looked more alert, "How old are you, old man?" That standard fake smile appeared on his face again.

"You are already over 70 years old, you are old!" The old woman pushed the porridge in front of Shan Zimo and said, "Drink porridge, kid!"

"Then I wish you a long life!" Shan Zimo didn't even look at the porridge on the table, but immediately complimented him.

"Alas, the old man died early, and he lent me all his life!" The old woman pushed the porridge again, "It's a pain to be alive!"

"Your daughter is young, she looks about my age, maybe seventeen or eighteen?" Shan Zimo glanced at the girl sitting next to him who didn't drink the porridge, "Does this count as having a child in your old age?"

"To be honest, sir, this girl was picked up by an old woman. My husband died early and left no children." The old woman was very satisfied as she watched Shan Boyu finish his porridge. "God has mercy on me and let me pick up the girl so that we can live together."

"That's great indeed," Shan Zimo stood up and came behind Shan Boyu.

"Sir, you haven't finished your porridge yet!" The girl also stood up and moved to the front of the door, blocking the way.

"With your inner strength, old lady, it will not be a problem for you to live another hundred years!" Shan Zimo suddenly grabbed Shan Boyu, but at this time, Shan Boyu had already fainted!

"Humph, I didn't expect that either." The old woman stood up, her weird smile making Shan Zimo feel cold on his back, "I can meet the young master of Xueying Hall in such a remote place!"

"Bai Yu!" Shan Zimo patted Shan Bai Yu's cheek, hoping that he would wake up. "Excuse me, who are you, senior?"

"I can't be considered a senior," the old woman raised her dry hands, flicked her fingers lightly, and the door behind her slammed shut.

"This one is the one known as the Bone-Eroding Rakshasa, who turned everything into jade!" The girl said very proudly, totally losing her previous innocent and lovely look.

"I'm sorry, I've only been here a short time, and I don't know much about the famous figures in our Wu country. But from the title I can tell that he is definitely a powerful figure!" Shan Zimo complimented while constantly waking up Shan Boyu.

"Don't waste your energy. He has been poisoned by me and he won't wake up for a while!"

"So, you plan to hand us over to the government office to receive 100,000 taels of silver?"

"As soon as you came to the river last night, I sensed your true energy," Quan Chengyu looked at Shan Zimo with contempt, "Sending you to the government office would have to wait until you die. You have other uses now!"

"What do you want?" Shan Zimo vigilantly protected Shan Boyu behind him.

"Qingzhu, throw that troublesome guy into the yard first!" Quan Chengyu ordered the girl.

Qing Zhu changed her delicate attitude, picked up Shan Boyu with one hand and carried him on her shoulder, opened the door and walked out. She threw Shan Boyu aside, turned back to the house and closed the door.

"What do you mean?" Shan Zimo wrapped his robe around him, "I would rather die than surrender!"

The cry of "murder" alarmed the people of Yanyu Town who had been working non-stop to capture Shan Zimo, and soon the body of the thief was carried to the yamen.

"This death is so scary!" The brave people surrounded the corpse and looked at it again and again.

"That's right! Look, blood is coming out of all seven orifices!"

"But why was he still smiling even though he was dead? His eyes were clearly filled with fear?"

"Could it be that he turned into a ghost after death?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The constable used his scabbard to drive away the crowd surrounding the corpse, and took a closer look. "Oh my god! There's a ghost!"
