Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5443 Conjecture
The young scholar nodded.

"When I get to that house..."

"Just go home."

……

"Don't go to that house."

The woodcutter said directly.

“That’s someone else’s house.”

"You stayed there before, causing great distress to the owner of the house."

"If my brother hadn't been found in time, the owner of the house would have reported it to the police."

"Let the soldiers arrest you."

"After this, the owner of the house won't allow you to go in again."

……

"why?"

The young scholar blurted out.

……

"Who would welcome an unexpected guest?"

The woodcutter said rudely.

"Have you forgotten what you did before?"

"The owner of the house has made a lot of efforts to get you to leave his house."

……

A look of confusion appeared on the young scholar's face.

What did he do?
He only remembers...

The pair of dark eyes looking at him.

When I think of those eyes...

The anger in the young scholar's heart started burning again.

……

"what."

The young scholar let out a low cry.

……

"what happened?"

the woodcutter asked quickly.

……

The young scholar's eyes were burning.

"...it first happened when I didn't prepare food..."

"it……"

"Are you checking your own achievements?"

"I believed in it so much, it must think I was ridiculous..."

“That’s why at the end…”

"When I was at my most embarrassed..."

"It appears."

The more he talked, the angrier the young scholar became.

He was really tricked by this black monster.

……

The young scholar couldn't swallow this humiliation.

He was really going crazy.

……

"enough!"

the woodcutter shouted.

The loud sound made the air seem to stagnate for a second.

……

The young scholar was a little frightened.

He stared at the woodcutter with wide eyes.

He seems to...

This was the first time he had heard the woodcutter speak so loudly to him since he could remember...

……

"enough……"

The woodcutter reached out and knocked his head.

He seemed to have said the same thing several times.

"younger brother."

There was even a hint of coldness in the woodcutter's expression.

"Don't let me hear it again..."

"Nothing about the black monster."

……

"why?"

The young scholar blurted out.

……

"Because it's fake!"

The woodcutter blurted out.

Meeting the young scholar's puzzled and shocked eyes, the woodcutter breathed a sigh of relief.

"……younger brother."

The woodcutter said earnestly, "Don't think about the black monster anymore."

“It’s fake.”

"It's just your imagination."

……

"How can it be?!"

The young scholar shook his head.

The words of denial came out faster than the brain could speak.

"How can it be fake?"

The young scholar found it ridiculous.

"elder brother."

he said.

"I saw."

He pointed to his eyes.

"I saw it with my own eyes."

"More than once."

"Many, many times."

"Besides, it ate a lot of the food I gave it."

"Aren't you wondering why my appetite has suddenly increased?"

……

The woodcutter was stunned.

Increased appetite...

what.

That's right.

The woodcutter remembered.

The young scholar didn’t know when…
My appetite has increased a lot.

But he didn't think it mattered.

My brother is still young.

It's the time to grow up.

Studying is tiring. My appetite has grown...

Is there anything strange?
……

"You've grown up……"

The woodcutter said, "The appetite has naturally grown."

……

Young scholar: ...

"No."

The young scholar was a little anxious.

"Even if my appetite gets bigger, I can't eat that much."

"The extra food was taken by Xiao-"

The young scholar paused, then continued, "The black monster ate it."

"The black monster is very small."

“But the appetite is huge.”

“Very greedy too.”

“This is also very similar to Taotie…”

The young scholar murmured.

Speaking of which...

The black monster really looks like Taotie in many ways...

……

"elder brother!"

Seeing that the woodcutter still looked unconvinced, the young scholar became anxious.

"What I said is real."

"It really was eaten by a black monster."

"Steamed buns, snacks, fruits..."

“It eats everything.”

"it-"

……

"younger brother."

The woodcutter interrupted the young scholar.

He looked at the young scholar, and the look in his eyes made the young scholar feel uncomfortable.

……

The young scholar stopped talking.

……

“Those are what you eat.”

The woodcutter shook his head slightly.

“There are no black monsters.”

“You’re under too much pressure.”

The woodcutter did not give the young scholar a chance to speak.

He continued, “You want to succeed too badly.”

“So a black monster was imagined.”

"Consider it as a good omen that can help you pass the imperial examination."

“Actually, they’re all fake.”

"From the beginning to the end, it was just you."

“There are no black monsters.”

……

The young scholar's pupils trembled violently.

The lips turned a little whiter.

"No, no..."

The young scholar denied it.

"The black monster really exists..."

After so many days together and so many meetings...

How could the black monster be just his imagination?

impossible……

Ah!
A light bulb went off in the young scholar's head.

"That kid!"

He shouted excitedly, "The child from my sister-in-law's younger brother's family..."

"Didn't you see it too?!"

The child seemed very annoying at that time, but now the young scholar felt like he had grabbed the last straw.

He was extremely glad that the child pushed open the door of his study.

otherwise……

Where was he going to find someone other than him who had seen the black monster?

……

The woodcutter was stunned.

He forgot about the child...

That's right.

The child saw it too.

No.

The woodcutter shook his head.

“Who knows what that child saw?”

Maybe it's something else.

But he happened to confront the black monster.

It was just a very unexpected coincidence.

……

"What he saw was a black monster!"

The young scholar shouted.

"It's the black monster!"

……

"enough!"

The woodcutter shouted in a deep voice.

"I told you everything!"

"Don't mention the words black monster again!"

"There are no black monsters!"

"I did not see!"

"Your sister-in-law didn't see it!"

"Your aunt didn't see it!"

"Neither the child's parents saw it!"

The woodcutter was slightly out of breath.

“We didn’t see it!”

"How can you prove it's true by yourself?"

"…Even if you include the child, there are only two of us."

“But what we didn’t see was much bigger than two people.”

"you say……"

The woodcutter slowed down his tone and asked, "Are your words more credible?"

"Or are the words of so many of us more credible?"

……

The young scholar was stumped by the question.

If it's another problem...
