Li Qing has not been in Chuyi for a long time, but he knows a lot of people, but he is looking for two people, Li Qing's first thought is naturally Lai Yingzhu, after all, there are many brothers under Lai Yingzhu, and they are all market men, so it is more convenient to find people than the officials of the county government.

On the way to the Antler Pavilion, Li Qing had already thought about it, the goods found from the Cannibal Beach were still there, and when he found Jian Xiaoxin and Yezi, he would hand over the goods to Hong Xin, Li Qing believed that with Hong Xin's personality and ability, he would naturally find out the disappearance of Father Chen, and give Wu Ape and Chun Nier an explanation, and then he could also go to the Troll City to find the lotus with peace of mind.

Today's Chuyi has returned to a bit of its former prosperity, many shops in the streets and alleys have reopened, pedestrians come and go with smiles on their faces, and you can often see the county officials and officials maintaining order on the streets.

Standing at the intersection of the Antler Pavilion again, but in just two or three days, those high-flying and invincible barbarians were actually driven out, all of which made people feel as if they had a dream.

Li Qing is too familiar with this place, Uncle De's butcher's shop, Li Da's teahouse, Uncle Dali's blacksmith shop, and Uncle Shan's car dealership, Li Qing thought of the smiling faces, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.

Walk east along the street, through two alleys is the courtyard where the shadow bamboo girl lives, along the way, but whenever you pass by the rouge gouache and cloth garment shop, Li Qing will come forward to ask, the time interval is not long, many guys, shopkeepers still have an impression of the two girls, it sounds like the two of them are also going to the direction of the antler pavilion, which makes Li Qing's heart relax a lot, the people there Li Qing are familiar with, thinking that maybe without the help of the shadow bamboo girl, he can find the two girls.

Not far from the east side of the road is Uncle De's butcher's shop, Li Qing plans to ask Uncle De first, thinking that Xiao Wuzi is the guy in Uncle De's shop, that kid is clever, let him help run errands later, and inquire in various shops, as long as Jian Xiaoxin and Ye Zi are still in the Antler Pavilion, I believe it will not be long before there will be news.

Thinking of these market men, Li Qing couldn't help but want to see them soon, turned the east alley, and was about to walk to the door of the butcher shop, Li Qing stopped.

The woman had clearly entered the butcher's shop, why did she bring out another piece of pork at this time? Wasn't the guy who sent her out the fifth son? Looking at the expressions of the two people, it seemed that they were old customers, but Li Qing still felt that something was wrong, as if it was also the fifth son who had just sent her out, and the expression of the voice was also so enthusiastic.

And the middle-aged man just pulled out a brand-new carriage from Uncle Shan's shop, why did he bring it in again?

Li Qing stood on the street, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, just now he felt that today's Antler Alley was a little deserted, and now he understands that the reason why he feels deserted is not just because there are few people, but because it is always these people who come and go.

Everyone on the street seemed to be doing the same thing over and over again, over and over again, like a group of puppets performing tirelessly, but who were they acting for?

"Brother Li?" the fifth son came out of the shop with half a face at some point, and waved enthusiastically.

"Five sons—" had already seen that something was wrong, the two girls came to the Antler Pavilion again, Li Qing naturally wanted to ask clearly, walked a few steps, and came to the door of the shop.

"Brother Li, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and come in and sit, I haven't seen you in the past two days, the big guys are all thinking about it, just now Uncle De also said that he will be free later today, and he wants to go to the old master's mansion to see you." The fifth son was very enthusiastic, and while greeting, he stretched out his hand and pulled Li Qing into the shop.

Wuzi's strength seems to have increased, but this is not what makes Li Qing feel strange, what makes him strange is that he has never mentioned his residence to these market men, how does he know that he lives in the house of the old master Zeng?

"Fifth son, today Chuyi returned to peace, didn't Uncle De take your vacation to go out for a walk?" Although Li Qing was strange in his heart, he didn't think much about it, and followed the fifth son into the shop.

A bloody smell came to my nose, mixed with a slight rancid smell.

Duh, duh, duh, the sound of the machete chopping on the board comes and goes, the noon, the sun is scorching, the butcher shop generally does not let the guys chop meat at this time, although it is late autumn, but the weather at noon is still a little hot, pork this thing is fresh, there are not many customers at this time, it is naturally good to sell and cut in the afternoon.

Looking through the sunlight shining in from the window, the clothes on the guys were tightly worn, the machetes in their hands were already stained with flesh and blood, and no one wiped their sweat, let alone washed the knives, just chopping them at once, and even the movements were very neat, like a pre-choreographed performance.

"What about Uncle De?" Li Qing casually took a piece of meat on the board at the door and sniffed it, the flesh was a little dark, and he could already smell a trace of peculiar smell before he got close, no, Li Qing knew that Uncle De's butcher shop was not to mention that in this Antler Pavilion, even the entire Chuyi was a loud name, how could pork that had deteriorated like this be taken out and sold? But Li Qing didn't say anything, just asked casually, and stared at Wuzi carefully.

"Oh," the fifth son noticed Li Qing's actions, and a trace of panic flashed across his face, but it was covered by a smile in an instant, "No, Chuyi is too peaceful, those barbarians are also gone, just eaten, Uncle De's chess addiction is committed again, he didn't even sleep in the afternoon, and hurriedly went to find a few brothers to play chess. The fifth son said, his feet did not stop, and he still dragged Li Qing towards the shop.

"I won't enter the shop," Li Qing stopped, where could the fifth son move? I had to stop and listen to Li Qing's words, "I have two younger sisters who also came to the Antler Pavilion just now, no, I won't see them back when I get to the meal, don't worry, come out to look for it." Li Qing said while looking at the look on Wuzi's face, this kid is weird today, when he heard himself mention Jian Xiaoxin and Ye Zi, his face showed panic, what was he afraid of?

"Fifth son, you are familiar here, you have a hard trip, help my brother go out to inquire?" Li Qing had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to notice the abnormality of the shop.

"Cheng, Brother Li, sit down for a while, don't you feel at ease when you get to our Antler Pavilion? According to me, the two girls are dazzled, and at this time, you may not be able to see which rouge gouache can't move your legs, you sit steadily, drink tea, and I'll find it for you." The fifth son was very sharp, turned his head and moved a chair, and shouted to the man to pour tea for Li Qing, and the person had already blown out like a gust of wind.

The guy who poured the tea, Li Qing, knew, but the strange thing was that he had clearly walked in front of him with the tea, but he didn't seem to know himself, and said hello a few times, but the guy didn't pay attention, just put down the teapot and walked to the side to light the incense.

There is nothing wrong with lighting incense in the butcher shop, it is hot, it is inevitable that there will be some mosquitoes and flies, and it is normal to light some incense to drive away. But this guy didn't just order one or two, but lit one or two sticks of incense inside and out, just for a while, to say the least, he also lit one or twenty sticks of incense.

The smoke was filled, mixed with the smell of blood and rancidity, and the smell of the whole shop was indescribably strange.

Li Qing didn't drink tea, the pace of his feet changed, so he followed the guy who served the tea all the way into the shop, passing by one meat case after another, although he had never killed a pig, but he hadn't seen it yet? What is on these boards is clearly not pork, even if it is half a pig, it will cost one or two hundred catties, but the meat on these boards is too thin and too small compared to pigs, and these guys are also very strange, the meat has been dismantled, but they ignore it all, just carefully pull out the white tendons from the flesh little by little, and gently put them in a basin full of blood, which is relieved, as if something important has been accomplished.

The guy who poured the tea took a basin of blood-soaked meat tendons and walked towards the backyard of the shop. He saw two people, two people who shouldn't be here, Yu Feiqiong and Yu Feimei.

How could these two guys be here, look at them standing at the door straighter than javelins, like two dogs loyal to the yard, so who are the people in the yard?

Knowing the strength of the two, Li Qing didn't dare to approach easily, just hid behind the door panel and watched secretly, Yu Feiqiong didn't move, Yu Feimei took the blood basin, glanced at it, nodded lightly, and turned around and went into the backyard.

The man didn't stop, as if he had done it more than once, and seemed to be familiar with the road, and turned around and walked back into the shop.

"Brother Li—" It didn't take long for Xiao Wuzi to rush back happily, maybe he was too anxious, or maybe he was too excited, his forehead and sideburns were already sweating, he stretched out his hand and wiped it casually, picked up the tea and drank it all, "Brother Li, I found it, Sister Xiaoxin and Sister Ye Zi are drinking tea in Li Da's teahouse at this time." Today, in order to celebrate the drive away of those barbarians, Uncle Ben specially invited the most famous storyteller in the county, Jin Sankou, to tell a story in the teahouse, and I heard that it was a "long pavilion farewell". Hey, didn't you see that the one in the teahouse, the pear blossoms with rain, seemed to be a tearful person. No, I saw that the two girls were listening attentively, and I didn't dare to disturb, so I hurried back to inform you, do you think we are waiting here, or will Wuzi take you over?"

Li Qing watched Wuzi drink tea, and glanced at the shop casually, although it was only a glance, Li Qing knew that he was looking at those lit incense.

By now, how could Li Qing not know that something had happened to the Antler Pavilion?
