Chapter 42: Sour and Astringent Rabbit Meat (Three Watches)
Lao Liu took a deep breath and said, "Who is the Demon Sect looking for?"
"I don't know, most of the identities of those shadows are hidden, and even we don't know very well. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Lao Liu pondered for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "If it is really to find a shadow, the Demon Sect actually does not hesitate to kill people in the Immortal City for this reason, the identity and status of that shadow must be extremely important, who is it?"
Someone next to him suddenly snorted and said, "There are seventy-two people in the Floating Cloud Division, and the number of people in the shadows below is several times that of light or dark, how can it be so easy to find." ”
Lao Liu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Lao Zhang is able to do things well on weekdays, if I remember correctly, the shadow in his hand is the most among all the patrol envoys?"
No one around him spoke, Lao Liu smiled bitterly, looked around, and then said faintly: "Maybe it's a coincidence, but if not, I'm just afraid of ...... There's an inner ghost here. ”
Lao Liu looked around, smiled, there was a little bitterness in his smile, turned around, only to hear him muttering in a low voice, "The world will not be peaceful from now on......"

"Smack!"
A rabbit was thrown on the table, which startled the old horse, and then raised his eyes to see Lu Chen, and the old horse said, "What are you doing?"
Lu Chen sat down opposite him and said lightly: "I drank your wine all day for nothing, and today I went up the mountain to catch a hare and brought it over to the bar for you." ”
Lao Ma glanced at Lu Chen with some suspicion and said, "Are you so good?"
Lu Chen said: "I grabbed it." ”
The old horse grabbed the hare's ear, picked it up and looked at it, and said, "This rabbit is not poisoned, is it?"
"No, I never do anything like that. ”
The old horse snorted, looked at Lu Chen with disdain, and said, "What can't you do?" The poison you gave back then can at least poison the people of this village!"
Lu Chen said: "I didn't say that I didn't poison you, I mean it's unnecessary to poison you, I never do that kind of stupid thing." ”
"Damn!" the old horse kicked over, Lu Chen's expression flashed away calmly, and then the old horse stood up with a hum and carried the rabbit into the back kitchen.
Half an hour later, a large pot of hot, fragrant braised rabbit meat was placed on the wine table, and the aroma was overflowing.
Lu Chen praised Lao Ma rarely, and said, "It looks like the craftsmanship is good." ”
The old horse wiped the hot sweat on his head, and said triumphantly: "Nonsense!" He didn't call Lu Chen, he first took a piece of rabbit meat with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, and chewed it in a big bite.
Lu Chen smiled, also picked up the chopsticks, and was about to stretch them out, when he suddenly heard a vague "huh" from the old horse's mouth, and then spit the rabbit meat on the table with a bang.
Lu Chen frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" Could it be that you fat man can really eat a little poison out of nothing?"
The old horse chirped a few times in his mouth, his face was a little strange, and he said, "This rabbit meat is a little strange, why is it so sour, shouldn't it?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, the chopsticks in his hand slowly put down, his gaze swept over the pot of rabbit meat, and after a while, he asked softly, "Very sour?"
"It's very sour, it's weird!" Lao Ma poured a glass of wine from the side and rinsed his mouth, then shook his head again and again, and said, "What the hell! I've never eaten such sour rabbit meat in my life, where did you catch it?"
Lu Chen quietly looked at the rabbit meat and said, "I caught it on the tea mountain." ”
The old horse grunted, paused for a moment and couldn't help but taste a piece, but after a while, he immediately spit it out, and scolded: "This is not a fucking hare, it's a sour rabbit! Hey, Lu Chen, why don't you taste it?"
Lu Chen didn't have any expression on his face, but after a while, he said, "You've tried it all, don't I still believe you?" This rabbit meat can't be eaten, just throw it away." ”
With that, he stood up and walked out of the tavern.

When walking on the bluestone road, Lu Chen's face looked a little ugly. His gaze went straight ahead, and he walked silently back to his hut at the foot of the mountain.
It's just that just as he was about to enter the door, suddenly his body paused, and then he raised his head and looked at the tea mountain.
On that distant peak, everything was as calm as usual, the wind blew the tea trees, the mountains and forests were silent, except for the farther back mountain direction, a wisp of black smoke suddenly floated.
There were no flames, no torches, no one waving, just a thin cloud of black smoke waving up.
Lu Chen stood silently in place, looking at the black smoke on the mountain in the distance, and after a while, he opened the door and walked in, and then slammed the door tightly behind him. It's as if the whole world is locked behind him.
The wind gradually sounded and became a little bleak, the sky began to be overcast, and the dark night was coming.
……
It was a very windy night.
The cold wind with a chill blows through the tea mountains and the grass huts, and the cold seems to be able to penetrate through the walls, so that people have the illusion that it is not summer but winter at this moment. The sound of the wind was also particularly poignant, like a woman's sad cry, echoing in the dark night.
It was already dark outside, and Lu Chen was lying motionless on the bed in the grass hut, his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep. Even the cold wind outside couldn't wake him up.
Suddenly, a small sound suddenly drifted in the cold wind, and in the dark world, like careful steps, slowly approached the grass hut. In the wind, a few wisps of thatch on the roof of the house were lifted in the wind, and they shivered.
A dark shadow appeared from the darkness and walked towards the grass hut, the sound of small footsteps varied in light and heavy, like a phantom in the night wind, and when it reached the door outside the house, the black shadow suddenly paused and stopped.
The night wind was blowing coldly, and the darkness seemed to cover the whole world, and the tea mountain seemed to suddenly become extremely eerie and tall at this time, and the shadow of the mountain was like a giant, which would be crushed at any time.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a slight rapid breathing sound, and there seemed to be a heartbeat beating rapidly, and in the silence, the black shadow seemed to raise a hand and felt towards the door.
The night became thicker, and I couldn't see my fingers under the eaves of the grass house, and I could only vaguely see the thick black shadow permeating the door, and when I was about to touch the door, suddenly, in the darkness, the door opened abruptly, and at the same time there was a crisp roar.
The shadow in the darkness seemed to be taken aback and froze for a moment, and at this moment of lightning and flint, there seemed to be a large dark shadow gushing out of the grass hut, covering the shadow outside.
