Chapter 51: The family is about to...
Dr. Xu's home.
It is spacious and bright, and a warm feeling comes as soon as you open the door.
A petite girl with twin ponytails quickly rushed to Wu Xian. This should be Xu Ming's daughter Xu Xiaoyan.
"Dad, I've been waiting for you to come home. You're so good!"
Although she is already grown up, her personality is still like that of a child. Her big eyes are watery and her expression is pitiful. Wu Xian couldn't help but rub her hair.
Wu Xian pushed Xu Xiaoyan into the living room.
The room was decorated with colorful flags and lanterns, and there was a large table of food on the dining table. In the middle was a four-layer cake decorated with fruits, including cherries, strawberries, bayberries, red dates, cherry tomatoes...
On the small tip of the top layer of the cake, there was a peeled lychee.
See Wu Xian coming back.
A gentle woman with her hair combed to the side on her shoulders and wearing an apron hurried over, took Wu Xian's bag, and helped him take off his coat.
"Why did you come back so late today? Are you busy with work?"
Her voice was gentle and magnetic, which made Wu Xian feel itchy. She should be Xu Ming's wife He Ya, a full-time housewife who has been supporting Xu Ming's work over the years.
Wu Xian explained subconsciously: "Well, I'm very busy today. I have to help the Investigation Bureau with a mental evaluation."
A scolding came from the sofa.
"Why did you come back? You don't even feel sorry for your wife and children. They have been waiting for you for so long!"
The person who spoke was a little old man wearing a vest and with a stern face. He should be Xu Ming's father Xu Qingfeng.
Wu Xian quickly apologized with a smile.
Although he was scolded, he felt a sense of kindness in the words. This old man was once a famous teacher, and his temper became more and more odd as he got older.
An old woman with gray hair walked out of the kitchen. She should be Ye Shuxia, the mother of doctor Xu Ming. She looked at Wu Xian with a smile on her face.
"It's better for you to come back later. There was an accident when we were cooking just now. The four of us spent a long time cleaning up. If you come back then, your birthday will be miserable."
Wu Xian smiled and nodded.
A family of five, living happily together.
In this atmosphere.
Wu Xian couldn't do anything weird.
He quickly got along well with the four people including his parents, wife and daughter. They drank happily and the whole dinner was very harmonious. Although Wu Xian was only a dependent lurking in Xu Ming's body, there was no awkwardness or estrangement when he got along with these four people.
During this period, Wu Xian was always on guard against everything.
But in the end, nothing happened. Even though it was already late at night outside, no evil ghosts appeared, so Wu Xian gradually relaxed.
The night is getting darker.
The old people and children all went to sleep, leaving only the couple in the living room.
Wu Xian was a little embarrassed.
After all, he was not a real husband, and he did not want to be a thief. What if the wife suddenly wanted to...
But the story did not develop in the direction Wu Xian expected.
He Ya sat on the sofa, held Wu Xian's head and let him rest it on her thighs. Her slender fingers, which were so white that the veins could be clearly seen, gently rubbed Wu Xian's temple.
"You must have had a rough day today. I haven't seen you so tired in a long time. Let me give you a massage."
Feeling the soothing force of his fingertips and smelling the fragrant scent on her body, Wu Xian felt more comfortable than ever before, so he closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
In this rare leisure time.
Wu Xian began to think about the similarities and differences between this blessed land and the last time.
First of all, the rhythm.
The situation in the blessed land was not that tense this time. The whole day had passed and Wu Xian had not encountered any real danger, so much so that he became a little slack.
The second is freedom.
Last time in the blessed land, they could only move around the small area around the Ping An Hotel, but this time they could go anywhere in the whole city, and there were no restrictions except the words on the certificate. But Wu Xian knew very well that the relief and freedom were only temporary. The office full of covered traces, the broken Ten Soul Banner and the dead customer in the barber shop told him that under the calm surface of this world, there were definitely turbulent waves. The big mouth of the sea monster in the waves might have been aimed at Wu Xian's small sampan.
As for now...
Heya's massage is so comfortable!
Xu Ming, your wife is awesome!
When Wu Xian first entered this blessed land, he was already in a state of extreme fatigue. After being worried for a whole day, he was already exhausted, so he gradually became sleepy.
Half asleep and half awake.
Wu Xian suddenly felt as if something was crawling on his cheek.
He twisted the thing between his fingers.
It was a soft maggot!
The fingers massaging his temple were no longer soft and gentle, but cold and slippery. The smell in his nose was not the refreshing body fragrance, but the pungent smell of blood and decay.
Wu Xian raised his eyelids and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Why, dear, do you think I'm beautiful?"
He Ya smiled gently at Wu Xian.
The cheeks on both sides of the mouth were cracked, revealing the red cut flesh.
The skin on the rest of her face was also blue and purple. Her home clothes had long been stained with blood and had dozens of cuts on them. Some newly born maggots were slowly crawling on her body.
Wu Xian shuddered.
Like a cat with its fur standing on end, it instantly rolled over and landed on the ground, with its curly hair even becoming straight.
He Ya touched her cheek sadly: "Why did you come back so late today? If it wasn't so late... I might still be as beautiful as before."
The wife took no further action.
But Wu Xian did not dare to be careless.
He slowly retreated to the kitchen. There was no weapon in the house to fight against evil spirits. The only thing that might be of some use was the kitchen knife.
Wait until you are far enough away from He Ya.
When Wu Xian turned around, he saw that the refrigerator in the kitchen was open. His daughter Xu Xiaoyan was standing in front of the refrigerator, stuffing food into her mouth frantically.
She noticed Wu Xian, turned around and cried in grievance.
"Dad, I'm so hungry. I don't know why I can never eat enough."
Xu Xiaoyan's cheeks were extremely pale, the lower half of her clothes were stained red, and there was a big hole in her stomach. The bread, milk, ham and other foods she had just eaten all flowed out of the hole.
"I've been waiting for you, you're so good!"
"But...but why didn't you come to save me!"
Wu Xian's scalp suddenly felt numb.
The warmth just now increased the sense of terror at this moment.
Although the previous blessed land was full of evil spirits, most of them were straightforward and rarely hid. And most importantly, in that blessed land, Wu Xian always had the ability to fight back.
No matter whether you can win or not, at least you can win.
But now he is just an ordinary person, but he has fallen into the encirclement of evil spirits.
Wu Xian slowly stepped back, wanting to escape from the house as quickly as possible, and happened to meet Dr. Xu's parents who had just come out of the room.
There was a space of about ten centimeters in the midline of my father Xu Qingfeng's body. He was split in the middle, and from the incision, the human tissue inside was clearly visible.
He sighed to Wu Xian: "Alas, why did you come back? Once you go home, you will never be able to escape from us again."
"It's better for the child to come back later. If he comes back earlier, won't he become like us?"
Mother Ye Shuxia spoke incoherently.
Her tongue hung out and there was a slanted knife wound on her neck, the area below the wound was stained red with blood.
He Ya, Xu Qingfeng, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Shuxia...
Xu Ming’s four relatives are all evil spirits!
Guided by the certificate of ordination from his relatives, Wu Xian was sent to the den of evil spirits!
