Chapter 41 The Two Mountains
"You see, this is the best room in our store, and it's usually full of guests. If it weren't for the fact that the ghosts are causing panic and no one is coming, you might not have had the chance to live here. The man led Gongliang to the upstairs room, wiped the tables and chairs with a rag, and explained.
"What the hell is going on with this ghost? Why did I see blood-smeared steamed buns and three animal sacrifices in front of your house when I entered the town?"
"You don't know about the guests, and it's the Qiao family's bad luck.
A while ago, the lady of the Qiao family went to Chenyang to visit her brother and returned, passing through the two mountains, she was seen by the ghosts entrenched on it, loved her beauty, and went to Qiao's house the next day to propose. How could the Qiao family be willing to marry their daughter to the evil ghost, the ghost lost his temper on the spot, injured the head of the Qiao family, insisted on taking her as his wife, and ordered the town to have three sacrifices and four fruits as a congratulatory gift on the day he married his wife.
Our town is the only way to Cangwu County, and the people in the town have benefited from it and are quite wealthy.
But that's only partial, and there are still a lot of poor people. In the end, there was no way, so in order not to evil the ghost, the rich people in the town sacrificed three animals, and the poor people used some steamed buns, or wild vegetables and coarse grains to make dumplings and smear them with animal blood. ”
This guy is used to nagging people from north to south in the inn, and he has a problem with talking.
At this time, as soon as Gongliang provoked the conversation, it was like the water of a surging river, and he kept talking.
After the guy finished speaking, he asked again, "The guest has just arrived in our Cangwu County?"
"Yes. Gongliang nodded.
"Then you have to be careful, this year there has been a lot of rain in the county, floods, and countless deaths. There are heroes who can't go on, so they pull their flags and stand down the mountain, and start trading without capital. On the way to the county seat, you will have to pass through many hills, so it is better to be careful. And..."
The guy looked left and right, and whispered: "And there are a lot of weirdness in the county this time, not only ghosts are rampant, but also zombies are rioting, biting people to death happens from time to time, especially in the wild, which is even more terrifying." The two mountains that I just told the guest are places where ghosts and monsters are rampant. It used to be a mass grave, but now it's occupied by a group of old ghosts crawling out of the old grave, so be careful when you pass by. ”
"How do you know there's a lot of ghosts there?" said Gongliang.
"This has been spread all over the world for a long time, but more than one person has seen the ghosts on it with their own eyes. Last month, a Taoist priest came over, and he almost gave his life there, and finally had to go around from other places, and said that he would find someone to come and clean up those ghosts. It's a pity that I didn't return, I think I was scared and didn't dare to come. The guy complained.
"Tian Shui, how long are you going to stay on it, don't hurry up and let me down. ”
When the old shopkeeper saw that the guy couldn't go down for a long time, he knew that his nagging problem had been committed again, and hurriedly shouted below.
"Right away. ”
The man put the oil lamp on the table, put the rag on his shoulder, and was about to go out.
"Wait. ”
Gongliang took out two pieces of broken silver from the storage ring, threw it over, and said, "Get me some better delicious food tomorrow morning, if there is no one in the store, go outside and buy it." It has to be the best in town, and there are plenty of them, and we guys have a big appetite. Don't be afraid to spend money, if it's not enough, I'll make it up to you tomorrow. ”
The man took the silver and bit it, and when he saw the two tooth marks on it, his face was wrinkled with a smile, "What you want will definitely be prepared for you tomorrow morning." I'll do things, you can rest assured. ”
With that, the man walked out and closed the door.
Gongliang went over and plugged in the latch, blocked the door with a chair, and lay down on the bed with Migu in his arms.
Yuan Rolling took out a piece of animal fur and spread it at the foot of the bed, lay down and fell asleep. The chicks, on the other hand, are already resting on the roof.
"Two mountains. Gongliang lay on the bed and muttered to himself.
He was going to go over there and see what kind of ghost realm it was.
If there is a ghost, let Yanhuo deal with it, add some lamp oil by the way, and let Jairus quickly condense the beast body and become a mount war beast.
At the same time, the innkeeper said that the ghosts and ghosts are rampant on the two hills, but the lights are bright, take a closer look, there is a small town standing on it, the town has a green building wine shop and shops, everything, from time to time there are ghosts in and out, lively and extraordinary.
There are lights in front of the houses of every house in the town, and they are full of joy, and it is obvious that there is a happy event.
But at this time, the people sitting in the lobby of this house were in a hurry.
"What's the matter? The old ghost hasn't come back for so long?" said a male-faced man.
"I guess it's a delay on the road. A thin old man drank tea slowly.
"Could it be that he was caught?" guessed a seductive woman.
"Probably not!" said a skinny man.
The fierce-looking big man frowned, and said: "What Feng Niang said is not impossible, after all, it is in the town, maybe there is a nosy Taoist who removes demons and catches ghosts, and he is arrested." Although this old yin ghost has good strength, he can't withstand the high mana of others. He's just too arrogant. After all, we are people from the underworld, how can we forcibly marry a woman from the yang world as a wife? If people meet us, we will definitely be eliminated. ”
"Last time, that person's mana was good, if it weren't for the poor skill, I guess I would have suffered. You say if the man brought him to the door? If that is the case, we must leave quickly, lest we be caught. Feng Niang panicked.
"Don't be nervous, don't scare yourself, find someone to see!" said the thin old man.
"Yes. ”
Feng Niang beckoned a little ghost with fast feet to go to the town to inquire about the situation.
But after a while, the little ghost came back and reported that there was no welcoming procession, and the town was empty, and there was not even a ghost.
A few people were shocked when they heard it, and they were able to quietly and silently arrest all the welcoming team, which was not something that ordinary people could do. At that moment, several people discussed and decided to leave this place immediately, so as not to be found and served in a pot.
After discussing it, I saw several people joining forces.
A thick fog appeared out of thin air, and after a few moments, the fog cleared, and the brightly lit town disappeared, leaving only a patch of old and new graves.
Early the next morning, Gongliang got up and washed and went downstairs, and just sat down on the street in the store, he saw the woman he had rescued last night walking in with the old woman. The old woman carried a large bag of things in her hand, followed by a sick old man.
As soon as she entered the inn, when the woman saw Gongliang, she bowed her head and muttered to the old woman.
When the old woman heard this, she took the woman and the old man and walked over, knelt down in front of Gongliang and shook her head.
"The old woman thanked her benefactor for saving me last night. ”
The woman also knelt down and kowtowed with the old woman, and when the sick old man saw it, he also knelt down.
"It's just a gesture, why worry about it, two of you hurry up. ”
Gongliang hurriedly stepped forward to help them up. Just kidding, this old man is sick like this and still has a mouthful, who is to blame for the accident.
The old woman got up and handed a large bag of things to Gongliang, "There are no good things at home, I heard that the benefactor asked the guys in the store to find food, and the old woman's craftsmanship is quite passable, so I made some snacks for the benefactor, and I hope not to dislike it." ”
If they don't accept it, it is obvious that they will not be able to make their family feel at ease, so Gongliang will accept it.
When the old woman saw Gongliang accept the things, she was relieved and asked, "The benefactor is here, but he is going to the county seat?"
"Hmm...," Gongliang nodded.
When the old woman heard his words, she hesitated for a moment before she said, "The benefactor can save the little girl, which can be described as a reinvention of kindness, and there should be no thought of anything wrong." It's just that the old woman was worried that the ghost thing would have an accomplice come and arrest the little girl. Therefore, the old woman is here, and wants to ask her benefactor to help send the little girl to Chenyang Xiaoer's house, so as not to be killed by those evil ghosts here. ”
When the old woman had finished speaking, she knelt down and shook her head again.
The woman also knelt down, and the old man knelt too.
Gongliang doesn't know what to say, and the family doesn't know if it's the reincarnation of kowtow worms, why do they like to kowtow to people so much?
It is estimated that if he does not agree to the old woman, the family will not plan to let him go. Thinking that he would pass through Chenyang anyway, it would also be a stopper, so Gongliang agreed to come down. The old woman stood up with a thousand thanks.
"You go back and pack up, I'm going to stay here for a day, and I'll leave tomorrow, and then I'll meet you." ”
After Gongliang finished speaking, he sent the family away.
When they were gone, the man came over and asked, "Guest, I have prepared the food you asked for last night, do you plan to eat it now, or do you want it until noon?" ”
"If you want it now, take it all!"
"Okay!"
After a while, the guy brought out a series of delicacies from the kitchen, dim sum, lo-mei, steamed, boiled, fried, and grilled. It's all made of ordinary things, but it's delicious.
Gongliang nodded again and again after eating, and they grabbed things even more and stuffed them into their mouths with big gulps.
The guy prepared a lot of things for them, thinking they could eat for a day.
I didn't expect to be eaten by them in one meal, and I couldn't help but be dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
