Chapter 172 The Weird Mother Liang


Chapter 172 The Weird Mother Liang

Before Liang Jihu opened his mouth, a person next to the village chief shouted: "No!"

Shang Lu turned to look at this man and snorted: "Why, I go to Secretary Liang's house to ask for water, do I still need your permission?"

"That's not what he meant."

Liang Jihu quickly helped to smooth things over.

But what he said was also a polite refusal.

"My home is cramped and my mother is bedridden. It is really inconvenient to greet Cao Cao, the merchant, and the brothers in Cao Cao's department."

The village chief interjected at this time: "Well, if you officials don't mind it, come to the little old man's house to sit and rest for a while. It's about to be lunch, so the little old man will prepare some wine and thank all the officials for their help on Liang Jihu's behalf. Send a message.”

"I was negligent. I only thought about visiting the imperial court and forgot about this. Brother Liang, please don't care."

Shang Lu rolled his eyes and first apologized to Liang Jihu, and then said to the village chief: "We are not polite after the village chief's kindness."

When the village chief heard this, he was stunned.

He originally wanted to ask Phytolacca and others to leave quickly, but he was afraid that saying that would make Phytolacca and others suspicious, so he thought of being polite.

I thought that these officials, who were in a hurry to run errands, would not agree.

But I didn't expect that this business thief Cao was not polite at all, he was really hateful.

But you've already said what you said, so don't go back on it, otherwise it will be more likely to make these officials suspicious.

The village chief had no choice but to invite Shangluc and others to his home.

But at the same time, I was secretly relieved.

Although these officials are still in the village, as long as they stay away from Liang Jihu's home and they entangle people again, nothing will happen.

Wait until the meal is over, stuff some money in, and send them away so the secret won't be exposed.

In a few days, when the matter is settled, even if these officials come to Xipinggou again, they will not be afraid anymore.

The village chief was comforting himself in his heart, but unexpectedly, Shanglue suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Liang Jihu, and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, come with us."

Liang Jihu wanted to refuse, but Shanglu didn't give him this chance at all, and pulled him away.

The village chief opened his mouth, wanting to stop him, but he was afraid of making Shanglu suspicious. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to give up.

While dragging Liang Jihu to the village chief's house, Shang Lu noticed that Liang Jihu had been observing the shadow.

In other words, he was calculating time based on the position of the sun.

Shangluca didn't rush to ask, and waited quietly to see what he was going to do.

At the same time, Phytolacca controlled the paper figures that had been released before and asked them to rush to Liang Jihu's home.

These paper figures walked around the village and found nothing.

Judging from the reactions of the village chief, Liang Jihu and others, the secret is most likely hidden in Liang Jihu's home.

Before the paper man arrived at Liang Jihu's house, Shang Lu and others arrived at the village chief's house first.

The village chief's home is at the other end of Xipinggou. It is much larger than many homes in the village.

After everyone arrived, the village chief asked his family to kill chickens and pick vegetables, and at the same time moved out tables, chairs and benches and invited Shangluc and others to sit down.

Shang Lu chatted with the absent-minded Liang Jihu.

In fact, he was also absent-minded.

Because he was controlling the paper man and sneaked into Liang Jihu's home.

Although it was broad daylight at the moment, the doors and windows of Liang Jihu's house were all tightly closed.

Even the gaps in the doors and windows were sealed with mud.

But this is not a problem for Phytolacca’s paper figures.

These paper figures can completely cut through the mud that seals the gaps between doors and windows.

But Phytolacca thought about it and did not do that. Instead, he let the paper man climb to the roof and get in through the gaps in the tiles.

Being so condescending, he gave a clear overview of the entire room.

Because the doors and windows were closed, the light in the room was very dark, but fortunately the paper man was not affected.

Through the images sent back by Phytolacca, he saw a bed in the room, with a woman in her fifties lying on it, her eyes closed, as if she was sleeping soundly.

This woman should be Liang Jihu's mother.

It looked like it was nothing serious as Liang Jihu said.

Shang Lu left a paper man on the roof to monitor, and controlled several other paper men to sneak down quietly and conduct a detailed search of Liang Jihu's home.

During the whole process, Liang Jihu's mother lay on the bed with her eyes closed, making no movement, and was not aware of the paper man's intrusion.

Time passed by minute by minute. Soon it was noon, and the sun was directly above everyone's heads.

There was sudden movement in Liang Jihu's home.

Mother Liang, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, opened her mouth and let out a shrill cry, and started struggling fiercely.

At this moment, Shanglu discovered through the paper figurine that under the blanket covered by Liang's mother, there were actually tough cowhide ropes binding her hands and feet.

At the same time, Liang Jihu, who had been absent-minded at the village chief's house, suddenly stood up and said: "Shang Cao, I'm sorry, I have to go back and give my mother some medicine. Please sit down at the village chief's house for a while, and I'll be back soon."


After that, he turned around and hurried out of the village chief's house without waiting for Shangluc to express his position.

Shentu asked with his eyes whether he wanted to send a bandit to follow him, but Shanglu shook his head gently and refused.

With the paper man around, he knew Liang Jihu's whereabouts very clearly and sent the thieves to follow him, which would make it easier for him to alert the enemy.

The village chief and others had been paying attention to Phytolacca's reaction and were immediately relieved when they saw that they "didn't care".

He hurriedly served the dishes and invited Phytophaga and others to eat and drink well.

Liang Jihu ran all the way back home, carefully opened the door, and immediately locked it behind him.

He didn't notice that an uninvited guest had broken into his home. When he saw his mother struggling and screaming on the bed, he hurriedly comforted her:

"Mom, I'm back, I'll give you medicine right away, and you won't be in pain right away."

As he spoke, he picked up a hunting knife from behind the door, walked quickly to the bed, stretched out his left hand, and slashed his wrist with the knife.

Blood immediately poured out.

Liang Jihu endured the pain and stretched out his hand in front of Mother Liang.

Mother Liang did not hesitate, opened her mouth, bit Liang Jihu's wrist wound, and started sucking it.

Liang Jihu's already sluggish energy and spirit further weakened in this process. Even his figure was losing weight further.

Phytolacca saw this scene through the paper man, and was greatly surprised.

He never thought that the way Liang Jihu treated his mother was to feed her his own blood.

No...that's not right.

Shang Lu's eyes narrowed, but through the paper figures, he judged that Liang's mother was not sick, but possessed by an evil spirit!

It's hard to say whether Mother Liang is a human or not!

It seems that this is the secret that everyone in Xipinggou wants to hide.

They knew about Liang's mother's strange situation, but they still helped Liang Jihu hide it.

It was the good relationship between neighbors that allowed them to ignore Mother Liang's weirdness.

Or does this matter itself have something to do with them and the "great immortal" in their mouth?

Full of speculations, Shang Lu got up and went to Liang Jihu's home to check on Liang's mother up close to see if she was still human.

Seeing Shang Lu getting up to leave, Shen Tu and others immediately followed.

When the village chief saw this, he suddenly panicked and asked hurriedly: "Masters, it's time to eat. Where are you going?"

Shang Lu glanced at him and said deliberately: "Go and have a look at Liang Jihu's home."

Sure enough, when the village chief heard this, he was shocked and said urgently: "No!"

However, this time, Shanghulu didn't play tricks with him, and just took Shentu and others to leave.

"Stop them!"

The village chief changed his face and shouted loudly.

Outside the yard, there was a roaring sound.

In an instant, hundreds of people came.

They were all villagers from Xiping Village, all carrying hoes and sticks, hatchets and hunting knives.

Watching with eager eyes, they surrounded Shanglu and the others.

There were less than ten people in Shanglu's group, but when faced with so many villagers, they were not afraid and even wanted to laugh.

They are not town police officers and will be easily frightened.

There are many people, but it is not necessarily possible to fight.

"You want to attack officials? How brave you are!"

Phytolacca gave a cold shout and ordered: "Take them all!"

He doesn't want to waste time here.

Because there were new changes in Liang Jihu's family.
