As soon as Lu Sheng opened his eyes, he saw that he was sitting in a yellow-gray carriage, the carriage was a little shaky, and there was a voice of a little girl talking softly beside him.

Outside the carriage, there were patches of noisy and noisy human voices.

There were shouts, shouts, and cheers. There is also the laughter of children.

Lu Sheng sighed deeply.

He knew that he couldn't go back, from an old oilman who was waiting to die in a state-owned enterprise, after getting drunk once, he woke up and came to this world.

It's been five days now.

He sniffed his nose, and the smell of wine, pancakes, and fried fruit was in the air.

"Oh, the white cinnamon wine in Osmanthus Fang is getting more and more fragrant. ”

The personal maid in the carriage said in a small milk voice.

Xiao Xiao is only 12 years old this year. In addition, he was born with a baby face and is also small. It looks like a 10-year-old.

The little face is chubby, white and red, wearing a green cotton skirt, and the little hand is still rubbing the hair rope for Lu Sheng to get out of the car and tie his hair.

This kind of hair rope is made of a very expensive kind of bark, which will naturally exude a faint fragrance, but the only disadvantage is that it will be hard when it is cold, and you need to rub it with hot hands.

Lu Sheng smiled and didn't speak.

The carriage soon stopped.

He lifted the curtain and stepped out of the car, and the gray-white streets were paved with bluestone bricks, each the size of a washbasin.

There are cars and cars on the streets, and people leading horses to and fro.

The hawkers and the girls and ladies who came out to hang out were not shy about it, and they showed up and laughed a lot.

Lu Sheng looked up at the wine shop in front of him.

The white plaque is rectangular, and there are three big characters written in the middle of the dragon and phoenix: Osmanthus Fang.

"The eldest prince of the road is here! Please keep the No. A wing room for you!"

A small guy greeted him with a smile on his face.

Lu Sheng nodded, a rich boy style, took the silver-edged white paper fan from the small hand beside him, shook it slightly, the fan surface unfolded, and a picture of landscape smoke and waves was painted on it, the landscape rose and fell, the light and shade overlapped, and there was an inscription that looked at everyone's style.

He followed the little guy into the winery.

The brewery is divided into two floors, and there are many people sitting in the hall on the first floor listening to people's songs.

A girl in green stood crisply in the empty space, her voice was tactful, and a middle-aged woman was playing the pipa next to her.

The song is a song of Sanhuichuan, which talks about the poignant love between the general and the fox girl in the mountains.

It's a pity that the drinkers present are all rough people, only a few literati can still understand, and the rest of them turn a blind eye to the two girls.

There aren't many tips.

Lu Sheng stopped, seeing that the first floor was so lively, he simply found a vacant seat on the first floor and sat down.

"Who ordered this Sanhui pass?"

He asked casually.

His status in this osmanthus shop is different, if this osmanthus shop is equivalent to a high-end entertainment club on the earth, then he is the supreme VIP customer here.

The master who spends at least hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

This kind of expense is already a top customer in a small northland town like Jiulian City.

"It's Zhou Gongzi. Zhou is missing Zhou Gongzi. The little guy whispered back.

Lu Sheng didn't embarrass him, so he waved him and let him go.

After he pulled Xiaoxiao to sit down, his eyes swept around the crowd on the first floor, and soon he saw a thin boy with a pale face, dressed in white, holding a golden ruffled folding fan with a bag in his hand, shaking it gently.

"I guess I'm taking a fancy to the little girl who sings again. Lu Sheng shook his head.

"The eldest prince warned him last time, this guy is really a bad person!" Xiao Xiao pouted dissatisfied.

Lu Sheng smiled and stopped talking.

Start listening to the music quietly.

The dark red wooden table quickly served a table of wine and food, and Lu Sheng sandwiched a clip of lettuce and fried shredded pork and put it in his mouth.

Take a sip of white cinnamon wine, which is similar to the drink. The subtle sweet floral aroma is mixed together, and it is almost like drinking juice.

"Brocade clothes and food, carefree, and a little beauty maid to warm the bed, this kind of life is simply too corrupt. ”

Lu Sheng sometimes thinks about whether he wants to live like this for the rest of his life, anyway, this kind of rice worm life is what he has been pursuing in his previous life.

Take a bite of food and take a sip of wine.

Then open your mouth and stuff a peeled saltwater ice shrimp.

In this Northland Snow City, ice shrimp is a specialty here, and a large number of translucent shrimp can be made by fishing in the thick ice holes.

This is the ice shrimp.

Ice shrimp is half the length of a regular shrimp, but it is extremely delicious. The shrimp melts in your mouth and is served with supreme deliciousness.

Of course, the price is also extremely expensive.

Ordinary people eat once a month is already a luxury, and there is no place like him.

Lu Sheng was eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, and listening to small songs, but he was thinking about other things.

It has been so many days since he came to this world, which resembles ancient China. But as far as he could observe, there was a lot of oddities about the world.

At first he thought he was back in antiquity, but then he found out that it wasn't.

The customs and festivals here were far different from any dynastic region he knew.

Thinking about something, the door of the winery opened again.

A group of strong men in short and energetic suits walked in one after another, found a table near the corner and sat down.

These strong men knew at a glance that they were not locals, they were dressed more like they came from the Central Plains, and their clothing and temperament were not as rough as those on the northern side.

"Alas. ”

A strong man at the head was bald, with copper earrings, and a face full of flesh, but at this time he sighed.

"I can't live this day. ”

"What is the eldest brother worried about, Lijia Village can't get through, we can take the second road, and it's okay to go around from Zhangcun. ”

Another man frowned.

"You know, I walked from Zhangcun when I came to meet. The situation is similar to that of Lijia Village, where a lot of people have died. ”

The horizontal flesh on the bald face trembled, and his expression became even more worried.

"What the hell is going on, big brother, you tell the brothers, and let us gain knowledge. A man urged.

The bald man sighed again.

"I don't know what the specifics are, I only know that several fishing villages by Suiyang Lake have had accidents, and it seems that there are water ghosts doing it. ”

"Water ghosts!?aren't they?"

Lu Sheng's table was not far from them, and they could be heard chatting unabashedly.

Originally, he was just listening and playing, but he didn't expect these people to actually talk about Shinto things.

The Lu family in his life is one of the largest families in this Northland Ice City, and his family wealth is still less.

If you want to compare it on the earth, it is at least a rich person with assets of more than 100 million.

In the past few days, he has come out to drink, and he has also heard a lot of rumors about youkai and gods and ghosts in the sake brewery, but most of them are legends.

This is the first time that these people have experienced such a personal experience.

So Lu Sheng pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Fortunately, those people did not hide it. Continue to talk loudly about the strange things in the fishing village.

"That water ghost, I saw it with my own eyes, more than a foot tall, with a green face and fangs, and a lot of water plants all over his body, obediently, if it weren't for your eldest brother and me running fast, now you are the ones who don't want to see me. ”

The bald head still has palpitations.

"Big brother, is there really such a thing as a water ghost?"

A man doesn't believe it.

"I'm afraid it's not the story you made up, big brother, right?"

The other man laughed.

Lu Sheng also felt funny when he heard this, and it was estimated that a reckless man came out of nowhere to brag.

During this time, he had seen a lot of such people.

After eating and drinking, he asked the little maid to bring over the singer's song list and browse it at will.

Although Sanhuichuan is good, it is not a good time, and he plans to change to a cheerful one.

Syllable!

But at this moment, the bald man blushed and slapped the table.

"It's really like I'm only bragging!? Look, look at what this is! That water ghost fell to the ground on a bone! This is what I secretly picked up afterwards!"

He carefully took out a jade-like green stone from his bosom and slapped it on the table.

"Isn't this just a piece of jade!" a man laughed.

"Zayu, this is Zayu?! Fuck your shit!"

The bald man blushed.

"This brother. Can you show me this? ”

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the side.

Lu Sheng stood at the table with a smile on his face, his eyes sweeping over the green jade on the table.

"You dare to ask for this? This is something left over from the water ghosts. The bald head said in amazement.

He just took it out to show off now, planning to throw it away in a while.

After all, this is not something left behind. If you really want to attract water ghosts to find trouble, it will really outweigh the losses.

"It's fine. I'll take a look. "Lu Sheng doesn't believe in any water ghosts, he just looks at the jade and looks good, not like ordinary miscellaneous jade.

You must know that ordinary miscellaneous jade can be bought everywhere in the stalls in the store, and it is the leftover material of jade that is polished at will, and the price is extremely cheap.

But somehow, as soon as he saw this piece of jade, he felt that something was wrong.

The bald man Boss Hu looked at Lu Sheng and saw that he had an extraordinary temperament and was dressed luxuriously.

Tsing Yi white fox fur, wearing a green jade hat, wearing a cloud pattern black boot embroidered with silver thread.

All the clothes can be consumed in this osmanthus workshop for several months. It is even enough for ordinary people to live for more than a year.

"Childe wants it, it's not impossible, uh.... A tael of silver will do!" the strong man hesitated, and tried to speak.

"Okay. Lu Sheng asked Xiao Xiao to take out a piece of silver or two and put it on the table.

"It's yours. The bald head decisively picked up the jade and stuffed it into Lu Sheng's hand. Several people changed their eyes, got up and left.

Lu Sheng didn't speak, watched a few people leave, holding the jade in his hand, picking it up and looking at it carefully.

"One tael of silver, if it is exchanged for China on Earth, the purchasing power is equivalent to 1,000 yuan. That is, he can be so rich in this life. ”

He shook his head, a tael of silver was nothing to him, according to the memory of this body, his expenses for a month on weekdays were at least more than a hundred taels of silver.

Occasionally, it may cost thousands of taels. That's millions!

Thinking of this, he secretly said that he was a loser.

With the jade in hand, he ignored the gaze of the lively guests around him, but left the winery with his small feet and walked towards the carriage waiting outside.

But just after leaving the winery, he didn't go halfway when he was suddenly stunned, picked up the jade and put it in the palm of his hand.

The jade was in the palm of his hand, in the palm of his right hand, and it actually melted.

The originally hard stone turned into a dark green slime in just a few seconds, and a scream faintly came from the slime.

Burst!

The entire slime suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of green smoke that slowly drifted away from Lu Sheng's face.

He stood in place in amazement, and when he saw it, the jade was still in his hand, but the green inside had quietly disappeared without knowing when.

"It was..."

He stood stunned, recalling the previous picture for a while.

"Childe?childe??"

Tiny kept calling him from the sidelines.

Lu Sheng came back to his senses, and then looked at the jade in his hand, it was simply an ordinary pebble, not even jade.

He had a little hair in his heart, but he vaguely understood something.

"Let's go, go home!"

Xiao Xiao blinked, a little unresponsive.

"Oh...."

The two got into the carriage, and the coachman picked up the whip and whipped it a few times, and the two black horses covered in long hair walked slowly.

In the carriage, Lu Sheng didn't say a word, and kept looking at the pebbles in his hand.

Xiao Xiao also noticed the strangeness of the stone at this time.

"Fooled again!" She muttered in her heart, and she didn't say much, the eldest prince was okay this time, the biggest time he was deceived before, was for a so-called antique wine jug, he spent thousands of taels of silver, and almost made the old man angry to death.

This time it's only one or two silver, and the young master sometimes eats more than that.

The carriage went all the way home. As he passed by the city gate, Lu Sheng heard someone shouting outside.

“..... I've heard that the water ghost has been eliminated! A Taoist from the wandering side has taken action to relieve the danger of the fishing village!"

"Is there anyone from the court?"

"I came early, and I heard that even Ouyang Zhutou of the prefect's yamen in the city almost fell in. Fortunately, I met a wandering Taoist, and it is said that as soon as the Taoist made a move, it was a flash of golden light, and the water ghost screamed miserably, turned into green slime, and then exploded into thick smoke and dispersed. ”

"Didn't the masters of the imperial court do it?"

"Of course not!"

Lu Sheng could hear that it was the officers guarding the city gate chatting.

He would often deliberately pass by the city gates, where the officers and soldiers were well-informed and liked to brag about strange things.

"It's a coincidence...."Lu Sheng's face remained silent.

He thought back to the jade from before, and his heart sank.

The carriage slowly drove towards Kurong Street, the most prosperous street in the city.
