The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 104
Mei Si walked forward, and suddenly he realized something was wrong because he couldn’t find the shop selling bayberry cakes. It was originally at the end of the street but was replaced by a pharmacy.
Am I lost? Mei Si’s drunken mind took a long time to come up with this sentence. He was slow to realize that he didn’t seem to be in the familiar East Market, but he was clearly walking towards it.
Turning his head around in confusion, Mei Si discovered something wrong. Although everyone had to wear evil ghost masks, it seemed that several people walking around were not only wearing masks, but some also made fake tails and wore them?
Why did they create such a tail? Was it some new kind of acrobatic performance? Mei Si stared blankly at the tail of the passing monster.
Why did this man have a weasel-like tail behind him? Why did the two big ears on the top of this child’s head move? Why did this woman’s face look so much like a horse’s? Why did the baby in the arms of the old man selling tea on the street suddenly turn into a ginseng? Why were there giant swallows with human faces flying in the sky?
As these questions kept popping up in his mind, cold sweat dripped down Mei Si’s back, and he got half sober from the alcohol.
He had been fascinated by things like fairies, monsters, and ghosts since he was a child, so he had read a lot of folk tales and records of strange things. Looking at the abnormal scenes in front of him, Mei Si immediately guessed that he might have accidentally entered some strange world of monsters.
Although he liked to understand these mysterious things, he also understood that if these things really appeared in front of him, as an ordinary person, it was better to run away from them; otherwise, being eaten was no joke!
Mei Si’s legs were weak, and his eyes were bright as he looked at everything around him. Although he was a little scared and knew that he was in a bad situation, it was rare to encounter monsters, especially so many monsters at once. If he didn’t take a closer look, he would definitely regret it in the future!
It was a coincidence that it was the Ghost Festival. The barrier between the Monster Market and the East and West Markets had become weaker. The human and ghost aura outside was overwhelming. The monsters in the Monster Market were not as sensitive to humans as before. In addition, there were many monsters in the Monster Market that could completely transform into human form. A weak human like Mei Si walked in the Monster Market full of monsters without being noticed for a while.
Just like that, Mei Si carefully stayed away from the monsters around him and looked for a way out, while looking around at the Monster Market scene. He secretly decided to draw all of it after returning. He even thought of a name for it, “Monster Scroll.”
As he was walking, Mei Si was suddenly stunned because he saw a familiar figure downstairs of a building that looked like a flying goose spreading its wings.
The woman with the veil and the slender figure seemed to be Liu Taizhen, the girl of the Liu family? Mei Si suspected that he might still be drunk, and shook his head and rubbed his eyes. However, Liu Taizhen still did not disappear.
She was surrounded by a group of monsters. Mei Si was quite far away and couldn’t hear clearly what was happening over there. He only saw Liu Taizhen alone surrounded by many monsters.
Oh no, did she also get in here by mistake like him and was discovered to be a mortal? Mei Si’s heart skipped a beat, and he became a little anxious. Although Liu Taizhen and Sister Zhen didn’t get along, it was still a life, and he couldn’t just watch her die.
Mei Si gritted his teeth and slapped his face to make himself more awake, then looked around to find a solution. Suddenly, he saw a cart placed in the corner next to him, with a pile of straw on it. Mei Si’s eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Liu Taizhen who was surrounded over there, and hurried over to push the cart.
Liu Taizhen was surrounded by a group of monsters, but the monsters consciously kept an arm’s width away from her and kept a distance from her. They even spoke in a low voice, for fear of making too much noise and making her angry.
“Snake Lord, it’s rare to see you out, please accept this Zhongyuan Festival gift!”
“Snake Lord, I haven’t thanked you for helping me last time. I have prepared these gifts long ago. You must accept them!”
“Snake Lord, I wonder what you think of the matter I mentioned to you before? Although my youngest son is not very promising, he is so handsome…”
The monsters were talking when they suddenly heard a loud shout, and then a large cart rumbled towards them. No one had expected that with the Snake Lord, someone would dare to act rashly. They were unable to react for a moment and were stunned. A few monsters subconsciously dodged, revealing Liu Taizhen in the middle with a frown on her face.
The carriage overturned and crashed into a group of monsters. In the chaos, Liu Taizhen was grabbed by Mei Si’s hand and pulled out of the encirclement.
The monsters who were left behind were all stunned. After a long while, one of them pointed in the direction where the two disappeared. “What, what is that?”
“The Snake Lord was taken away by someone?”
“Who was that just now? Is there anyone in our Monster City who is so bold as to hold the hand of the Snake Lord? Doesn’t the Snake Lord hate others touching her the most?”
“See, the Snake Lord didn’t get angry and swallow him in one gulp. Maybe she knew him?”
The monsters were confused, while Liu Taizhen, who was dragged by Mei Si to a remote corner, looked at him with a cold face.
Why was it him again? Last time, he was possessed by a monster and sneaked into the Monster Market. But it didn’t look like he was possessed again.
Maybe it was still the effect of being possessed by a monster last time, and staying in Yan Tower for too long. It was also the special day of the Ghost Festival, so he somehow accidentally walked into the Monster Market, which he was familiar with.
After thinking about it, Liu Taizhen felt a slight headache. Because of Wu Zhen, she couldn’t really do anything to this young man. She couldn’t hit him or scold him. After erasing his memory, she would have to send him out later.
What a hassle.
“How are you?” Mei Si finally relaxed a little when he saw that no monsters were chasing him. He turned to look at Liu Taizhen and saw that she was frowning and thinking about something, so he asked, “Are you scared silly?”
“Let go,” Liu Taizhen said coldly.
Mei Si then realized that he was still holding Liu Taizhen’s hand tightly, so he quickly let go of her wrist and stepped back. It was a hot summer night, and he had just run a long distance with someone, so he was sweating all over, and his hands were also sweaty, almost soaking Liu Taizhen’s wrist. But her hand was cool and felt like soft jade when he held it.
Mei Si felt embarrassed by the sudden thought in his mind. He wiped his hands behind his back uncomfortably, then put on a serious expression and said, “Do you know where you are now?”
Liu Taizhen just wiped her wrist and looked at him coldly without saying anything. Although Mei Si had met Liu Taizhen several times, he never spoke to her because she always sat aside and ignored the bickering of these young men and women. She was obviously one year younger than their Sister Zhen, but why did she look pure and innocent as if she had not seen the world?
