Tanjiro's family was quite surprised to see Li Zhong come in... They looked at Tanjiro curiously, waiting for Tanjiro's explanation.

I saw Tanjiro taking off his shoes, kneeling on the tatami, and said with a smile: "After collecting firewood, I met more than ten wolves. I lured them up the mountain, and then planned to climb a tree to get rid of them.

, but later, Mr. Li Zhong passed by here, and in order to save me, he killed those wolves..."

These are just generalities. After Tanjiro finished speaking, he looked at his mother.

After hearing these things, Tanjiro's mother thanked Li Zhong very gratefully and invited Li Zhong to stay here. Li Zhong naturally did not refuse, took off his shoes with a sickle on his back, and followed him to the tatami.

..

Tanjiro's house is not particularly big, but it is very lively when several children gather together to chase and fight. Tanjiro's mother and Tanjiro's sister Nezuko are cooking in the kitchen, while the remaining younger brothers and sisters

They gathered around Tanjiro and asked about the wolf and Li Zhong.

What he told before was roughly, but now in order to deal with his younger brothers and sisters, Tanjiro told his younger brothers and sisters how Li Zhong killed the wolves in the same tone as telling a story.

When it was mentioned that Li Zhong killed those wolves with a sickle, his younger brothers and sisters looked at Li Zhong with obvious admiration in their eyes, and they also came over to ask various questions.

Is this uncle a samurai? How old is this uncle? Does this uncle exercise often?

These questions were not problems. Li Zhong answered them patiently, but what troubled him was... He is now an uncle?

He hasn't taken care of his appearance in three months. Regardless of other aspects, he must have a lot of beard anyway. But his appearance should be pretty handsome, and he can't be considered an uncle after all, right?

"Don't think so much about useless things. With your big beard here, no one will believe you when you say you are young." Yi Ti gloated in the seal, "It's a pity. It seems that people like me, who will always be 17 years old, will not believe it."

You won’t be able to enjoy it.”

You also know that you are always seventeen...

Li Zhong complained secretly in his heart, and then added in his mind: "It's just that he is seventeen years and a few months old, so he doesn't know~"

His words were purely a suicide attempt. Yi Ti was about to take control of Li Zhong's body. Li Zhong's expression suddenly changed, and he frantically yelled 'stop' in his mind.

Outside, Tanjiro's younger brothers and sisters looked at Li Zhong as if he was dancing and fighting with himself.

Originally, they wanted to ask if Li Zhong's scythe was a huge chicken leg wrapped in it, but now they didn't dare to ask. Tanjiro looked helpless at Li Zhong's appearance, but he was also a little lucky.

If his younger brothers and sisters keep pestering Li Zhong, he doesn't know what to do. It's better to be frightened now.

The meal was quickly prepared, and Li finally gave all the wolf meat to Tanjiro's family. Tanjiro's mother added a lot of meat to the meal.

They usually have very little meat and rely solely on traps set outside to catch hares, pheasants and the like. If they are lucky, they might be able to catch wild boars or something like that.

There is no vegetable market here, and even if there is, their family cannot afford to buy meat.

The wolf meat that Li Zhong sent was a rare kind of meat, and the quality of the meat was very good! The whole family enjoyed the food very well, and Li Zhong also had a rare meal.

Usually it was just meat or fruits, so he had to go to some farmers to exchange for some fruits. He didn't even dare to think about food. Even if he wanted to get rice, it would be useless. Without a pot, he couldn't make rice.

And this meal was also the most delicious meal Li Zhong had eaten since he came to this world.

Food is best eaten with family. What you eat is not only the taste of the food, but also the atmosphere of eating together. Although Li Zhong is an outsider, because he saved Tanjiro, Tanjiro's younger brother

The sisters were very happy to accept Li Zhong, and the atmosphere infected Li Zhong, allowing him to experience the taste of eating with others again after three months.

After eating a full meal, Li Zhong and Tanjiro played with his younger brothers and sisters for a while, and then helped coax them to sleep.

Tanjiro's mother helped Li Zhongya make a bed and placed it next to Tanjiro. Li Zhong accepted it with a smile, but he just lay there and did not fall asleep... His jet lag has not been adjusted yet, so for him

Well, now is the time to be active.

After Tanjiro's family members all fell asleep, Li Zhong got up, sat by the window, and looked at the night scene outside.

He has been watching this kind of night scene for three months. He moves at night every day and rests during the day. In this world, ghosts will come out at night. Li Zhong is helpless and cannot sleep well at night.

Peace of mind.

But now in winter, even if there is sunshine during the day, the temperature is not high enough to keep him warm. At this point, he still needs a place to stay.

But not here. Li Zhong can't stay here for too long. He needs to go to other places to train. If he doesn't go, the enemies he will encounter in the future will only be stronger.

He was able to defeat the Fourth of the Lower String just because there happened to be a light and there happened to be a flammable house next to him, otherwise he could not break through the shadow hand of the Fourth of the Lower String.

But if it were a pillar, it would be easy to break through those fragile shadow hands and directly chop off the head of Xia Xian No. 4!

"Probably... next time I come back, I should be able to compare with Zhu..."

Li finally looked at the night scene outside the window, thinking a lot...

"How long do you plan to live here?" Yi Ti asked, "You can protect them for a while, but you cannot protect them for a lifetime. Only by eradicating the ghosts can the world return to peace."

"Ha... There are no ghosts on earth, but people are more disgusting than ghosts." Li Zhong sneered, "The human heart is always more sinister than evil ghosts."

Having said this, Li Zhong couldn't help but sigh: "My current life is not bad for me. I used to use all my means to compete with others for some research funds, but I couldn't compete with others. I'm just a researcher,

Between the ages of 20 and 30, I was all stuck in the laboratory, and I had no time to scheming with others. In the end, it was Sister Hong who helped me get the funding."

Yiti folded her hands on her chest and said nonchalantly: "When I was more than ten years old, there was also a large group of politicians who wanted to recruit me. In order for me to help them develop rune magic, they used all means to threaten my family.

, and there are those who want to assassinate me."

"But they didn't succeed." Li Zhong wanted to light a cigarette at this time, but there was no cigarette.

"I buried them all under the sea." Yi Ti's voice suddenly turned cold, "At that time on the planet Astor, the strongest rune magic was only over sixty levels, and the total number of runes discovered was not even high.

to four hundred, but at that time, I had developed 108-level runes and researched the rune golem. Their army was crushed by my golem, and the incoming assassins were killed.

All my amulet spells were captured, and any politician who had taken action against me was taken out of his home and thrown into the sea, without exception."

Li Zhong suddenly chuckled, with a relieved look on his face: "That's the best thing. You are in Astor now, and your status must be very high."

"At least no one dares to mess with me." Yi Ti's tone returned to the softness she usually used when talking to Li Zhong, "Maybe the scientists on your side are powerless, but on our side, the smarter the scientists are.

The stronger. Do you think I’m joking when I say that as a rune mage, it’s normal to know how to box?”

"Let me tell you, there is really no logic in what you said. Whether it is rune magic or the identity of a scientist, it has nothing to do with boxing, right?" Li Zhong immediately retorted.

Yi Ti said unreasonably: "I don't care. When I was developing the runes, couldn't I just figure out a set of boxing techniques?"

"Okay, okay, okay, my teacher is the most powerful. He has developed hundreds of runes. One person is an army. He will remain youthful forever and will always be seventeen years old..." Li finally understood a truth. In most cases,

Don't reason with Yi Ti. Li will argue with her. If she loses, the amount of training will be doubled. If she wins... there is no such situation. She will use a strange logic to force herself to be correct, and then

Double the amount of training.

Facing Li Zhong's perfunctory tone, Yi Ti didn't feel angry at all. She just hummed a tune softly.

Li finally sighed helplessly, looked at his outfit, and said, "To be honest, I have never seen a scientist who single-handedly killed more than a dozen adult wolves in the snow in a single suit."

"But now, you are." Yi Ti smiled, "And it's not just a wolf, but also a ghost."

Speaking of this, Li Zhong suddenly felt helpless. Before, the smell of a ghost wafted under his nose. Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to this ghost, but the smell of this ghost became stronger and stronger, which meant that he was getting stronger and stronger.

Coming closer and closer to here.

Now, this smell has entered within a hundred meters of this house!

Li Zhong reluctantly picked up the sickle, untied the cloth wrapped around the sickle, carefully passed Tanjiro and the others, and then came outside. It was winter now, but it hadn't snowed yet, and the plot that Li Zhong knew was about to begin.

It should be a few months away, and this ghost shouldn't be the key to the plot.

He held the scythe and jumped lightly to the roof, looking at the woods not far away.

Soon, a black shadow flashed through the woods over there and moved quickly through the woods. Apparently, it had spotted Li Zhong standing on the roof, but it was still hesitating and observing.

Li Zhong looked bored and indifferent.

This is just a weak little ghost. The smell of blood on its body is not strong, and it seems that it has not eaten many people. Ghosts can disguise their appearance and strength, but there is no way to disguise the smell of ghosts!

"This ghost has appeared near the protagonist's house. Will killing him have any effect?" Yi Ti asked.

Li Zhi shook his head: "I don't know. But it doesn't matter, because he is just a little ghost and can't match any ghost in my memory."

"Then let's make a quick decision."
Chapter completed!
