Wupan City, Luoguxiang Lane, outside the dungeon door, crowds of people.

The dense crowd almost filled the entire Luogu Alley, surrounding the place.

This morning, the people of Wupan City were frightened.

The well water gushing out of their own courtyards, and then the fog that shrouded the entire Wupan City, was an unusual and extreme thing for the people of Wupan City, and the people took to the streets one after another, asking each other what was going on.

For a while, rumors spread in Wupan City, but the government quickly posted notices on the north and south gates - the water demon was in rebellion.

This is a big novelty, after all, demons, especially living demons, the people are probably more heard of in the bizarre stories of those storytellers, who have ever seen it with their own eyes?

Before noon, the dungeon located in Luoguxiang was surrounded by people who came to see the excitement, and the dense crowd of people was surging, almost crowding the Luoguxiang.

"Dad, what are you here to make a fuss, what if so many people squeeze your old man?" Xue Xinghu, who was still the head catcher of Wupan City in name but had already been dismissed at home, pulled his father who wanted to squeeze into the crowd with a heartfelt persuasion.

Xue Yan is over seventy years old, and his body is tough, but his brain is a little difficult at this age.

He lifted the crutches in his hand and slapped Xue Xinghu's hand heavily, scolding: "It's turned upside down, can you still manage your Lao Tzu?"

Xue Yan is not only not bright, but sometimes he is even more stubborn and terrifying. Xue Xinghu didn't dare to touch his father's moldy head, he rubbed his arm that was hurt by the crutches, and said with a wry smile: "Where does the child want to care about you, isn't there too many people, I'm afraid that you will be hurt?"

Xue Yan, who was over seventy years old, seemed to have been stepped on by Xue Xinghu and had a sore foot, and suddenly blew his beard and glared.

"Hurt? Can these little deflated people still hurt your father? When your father was walking darts, ......

Xue Xinghu saw that his father was about to mention the old things of the year again, and he felt a pain in his brain, probably because of his age, Xue Yan Danfan talked about the past at length, and he couldn't finish it without half a day, and there were only a few things over and over again. Xue Xinghu has been calloused in his ears all these years, and he didn't want to listen to it again, so he hurriedly interrupted his father's "old things" that he had just started.

"Okay, okay, the kid knows, Dad wants to take a look at the water demon, then you follow me, I'll take you in, don't squeeze into those bystanders and hurt them. "The older you get, the more Xue Yan wants to be a child, you have to coax and hold it.

No, hearing Xue Xinghu's words, the old man suddenly smiled, and he nodded again and again: "It's about the same." ”

......

The people in the Gonggu Alley are accumulating more and more, and everyone has different opinions, all discussing what the water demon looks like.

Squeak –

Suddenly, a dull voice sounded, and the crowd fell silent for a moment, looking in the direction of the dungeon.

The heavy iron door of the dungeon slowly opened under the gaze of the crowd, and everyone held their breath and stared, their eyes widening one by one, lest they miss something.

The first to come out of the dungeon were several white-clothed and silver-armored Cangyu guards, who were holding a wooden cage, and the scene in the cage gradually became clear as the cage was dragged out of the dungeon by the carriage.

The expressions on people's faces changed from anticipation to eagerness, from eagerness to eccentricity, and from eccentricity to astonishment.

There was no water demon in that cage, only a woman with a sad and frightened expression.

And most of them know her - Aunt Zhang of the bun shop in the east of the city.

Aunt Zhang is not bad, at least most of the people in Wupan City have no ill feelings towards her, at this moment, seeing her in prison, and looking miserable, most of the people are silent, there is no lack of sympathy in their eyes, and their hearts are full of suspicions.

But before the people could fully react to this change, another carriage dragging the cage was pulled out, and this cage was quite huge, with five horses pulling it to move slowly, and the cage was also made of black iron, which was much larger than the former.

But in the cage is a green cow that is a full circle larger than ordinary cows, but it is covered in wounds, blood can't stop dripping, lying in the iron cage, if it is not for the breath exhaled from the tip of the nose from time to time, the people present are afraid that the cow is dead.

Although this cow is a little different, it is still too far from the water demon in the hearts of the people, and the people can't help but start whispering, secretly saying that these officials of the court can't catch the water demon, and it is too child's play to find these things to fool them.

These strange emotions were about to spread through the crowd, but a carriage slowly drove out of the dungeon.

The carriage was only pulled by a war horse, and although the cage on the carriage was still made of iron, it was only the size of the cage in which Aunt Zhang was held. But the battle was surprisingly large, and the Cangyu guards surrounded the carriage in three layers and three layers outside, and walked out of the dungeon with it in sync.

The people in Luoguxiang also faintly realized the abnormality of this cage and looked at that place one after another.

When the scene in the third cage was clearly seen, the crowd fell silent again, their faces full of horror, horror, curiosity, and surprise intertwined in everyone's eyes.

In the third cage, a figure was firmly imprisoned in the shape of a "big" character with a heavy iron chain, and that person was none other than Aunt Zhang's daughter Liu Qingyan. But unlike what he sees on weekdays, a pair of horns have grown on Liu Qingyan's head at this moment.

"Youkai !!," the crying voice of a child broke the silence of the crowd.

The woman who felt sorry for her child hugged her child and comforted, "It's okay, the youkai has been caught." ”

But how could the child understand this, and hugged his mother and cried loudly. The father, who came with his wife, was naturally angry when he saw the child like this, and he picked up a stone from nowhere, and said to his child: "Don't be afraid, see Daddy help you clean up this bad guy." As he spoke, the man threw the stone in his hand with all his strength and threw it at Liu Qingyan.

The man's technique was precise, and the stone hit Liu Qingyan's side face directly, cutting a bloody mark on the girl's cheek. Liu Qingyan, who was in pain, woke up from a coma, she looked around, looking confused and confused.

Before she could react to her situation, the stone thrown by the passers-by was like a spark that ignited the grassland, and the crowd that was still stunned just now seemed to be set on fire at that moment, and the angry scolding rose up.

"It turns out that their mother and daughter are monsters!"

"I'll just say how her buns are sold so cheaply, I can't figure out what is unclean in them!"

"The man in her family died so strangely that year, maybe he was killed by their mother and daughter. ”

......

The more they talked, the more they talked, the more wicked they became, and in this atmosphere some began to imitate the man who had gone before, and all sorts of things—eggs, rotten cabbage, stones, or leftovers—were thrown out of the hands of the people and smashed into the three cages.

"I'm not a youkai, and none of us are youkai. ”

"No! not like that!"

After all, Liu Qingyan was young, and she had long been frightened and flustered under such a scene, she shouted at the crowd with all her might, trying to explain clearly, but her voice could not reach everyone's ears at all, so she was drowned out in the angry scolding of the crowd.

In fact, even if her voice could be heard by the people, it would be of no use.

People are willing to believe what they want to believe, not what is the truth.

......

Of course, not everyone has such a state of mind.

At least Xue Xinghu, who is the nominal head catcher of Wupan City, has an ugly face, how can Liu Qingyan and Aunt Zhang be water demons? If they are water demons, then what is the Xue family?

Xue Xinghu frowned, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, but it was imperative that he take his father away first - Liu Qingyan's grandmother Xue Liangyue was his father Xue Yan's life-saving benefactor, and Xue Yan had reached this old and confused age, but every festival he had to noisily ask Xue Xinghu to take Aunt Zhang's mother and daughter to his home for a reunion. If the old man recognized that it was the mother and daughter of the Zhang family who were locked in the cage and humiliated by everyone at the moment, Xue Xinghu was afraid that his father would not be able to bear this blow and would have to be angry.

"Daddy, daddy, it's time for us to go back, next time, next time the baby will take you to see it." Thinking of this, Xue Xinghu hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xue Yan's hand, and was about to leave.

But Xue Yan's body stood extremely stiff in place, not moving at all, and he was even more deaf to what his son said.

Xue Xinghu's heart jumped, and he secretly said that his old and dizzy father had already recognized them?

Xue Xinghu hurriedly stepped forward, but saw Xue Yan's eyes empty, staring straight at the prisoner cart passing in front of him, but his eyes fell on the second prisoner cart.

"Dad?" Xue Xinghu's heart was strangely tight, and he tentatively called his father.

Xue Yan's body shook, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the old cow tremblingly, and said.

"Jiang-Jiang-Jiangshen!"

"Lord Jiangshen!"

Xue Xinghu was shocked, and hurriedly covered Xue Yan's mouth: "Dad, don't talk nonsense, be careful......"

......

Xue Xinghu knows very well that the current Wupan City has reached the point where it can't tolerate the slightest different voice, and he doesn't want the Xue family to get into trouble because of his confused father's words.

He hurriedly pulled his reluctant father out of the crowd, and just opposite him, the young man of the Guanyun Martial Arts Pavilion was also looking up at the prisoner cart that was slowly passing in front of him, looking at the various things that were constantly pouring towards the carriage.

"I tried my best, but I couldn't defeat it, Wupan City and the 4,000 households in Wupan City were destined to be flooded. ”

He remembered what the beautiful woman had heard outside the bun shop today, when Young Master Sun's fists were clenched tightly, and something began to rise in his eyes as he stared at the prisoner car.
