Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Family
The three of them walked around the county for a while, knocked on the doors of several families, and the result was the same. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is really strange, there are monsters, and the local villagers refuse to help us, in this case, we can't even figure out the situation of the monster, he is in the dark, and we are in the light. This situation is not good!" Kong Zhao found a bluestone pier and sat down.
Looking up, it was getting late, and the three of them were a little hungry, but there was nowhere to go in the huge county town. "That hateful Liu Fangzhou, without inquiring about anything, sent the task to the Falcon Hall, and said it so attractively, I really don't want to make this money, go back and forget it!"
Lu Chaoran saw that everyone's morale was low, and he felt that it was not a problem, so he ran all the way over, and retreated when he encountered a little difficulty? ”
The three of them wandered around the county town until dark. Although none of the people who had taken refuge in the house came out, the aroma of cooking wafted into the street, causing the three of them to swallow their saliva. Kong Zhao was young and couldn't stand the hunger, so he couldn't help but say angrily: "Why should we be so kind? Just rush in and beat these guys who don't know what to do and get angry!"
Lu Chaoran and Kongzhu glanced at each other hesitantly, they were both people with modern education, not the prince and grandson who regarded the people of Li as dung, and it was not so easy to treat the people so roughly.
Just as they were paying attention, a door suddenly opened a little way not far away, and the orange light came through, and a little girl leaned out half of her body, beckoned to them, and motioned for them to pass.
They hurriedly ran over. When the girl saw them coming, she opened the door and let them in. There was also a middle-aged man and a woman and a baby in swaddling clothes, who looked like a couple.
When the woman saw the three men enter the house, she hurriedly took the baby and turned around to take shelter in the back room. The man gave up his seat to the three.
"In Xia Zheng Tong, I don't know what to call the three?" the man asked.
All three reported their names.
"The three of you are so bold, people are running away, but you dare to break in here and wander the streets. I've been secretly watching you in the crack of the window, and I can't hide it, there are too few of you, and you have to fight that monster, and I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck. The man lowered his voice and said to the three of them, as if if the louder it was, it would be heard by the monster.
Hearing him say this, the three of them were all in the eye. Lu Chaoran hurriedly asked, "Have you seen that monster?"
The man said, "Of course I have seen it, there are more than a hundred, and all of them are fierce and vicious. ”
When Kong Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but turn pale: "So much! Then Liu Fangzhou's intelligence work is too outrageous, isn't it? It's too far away! We have to hurry back to the capital and let Liu Fangzhou deal with these monsters, and we don't want the bounty." ”
Kong Zhao was also taken aback, and he said, "The Easy Envoys are at least the first level of the Spirit Fortune Realm, I didn't expect the level of investigation to be so poor." I don't know what the strength of these more than 100 monsters is. Liu Fangzhou said that it was the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, but I don't believe his words now. ”
Generally, people who have broken through to the initial level of the Spirit Fortune Realm can judge what level the strength of the monsters in this place is by learning the skill of Wangqi, that is, observing the traces of demonic qi in a certain place. Now it seems that this Liu Fangzhou's level of hope is really so bad that he has no shame to see his father, I don't know how he passed the assessment at the beginning, and he was actually given the position of a free envoy.
Lu Chaoran also felt a big head when he heard this number, although if he killed more monsters, he would have more chances to absorb the true element of the Chaos Body, but with their current strength, if they were swarmed by so many monsters, it was estimated that they would not be able to save their lives. It seems that he can only ask Liu Fangzhou to deal with these monsters.
Zheng Tong saw that the three of them bowed their heads and were silent, so he said: "It's very dangerous outside, there may be monsters in the middle of the night, if the three of you don't dislike it, stay in the cold house for one night, and wait until dawn tomorrow, and leave this place immediately." ”
Lu Chaoran asked, "Why don't you leave?" We asked so many people just now, and they all lied to us that there were no monsters. Aren't they afraid that the monsters will come and eat them? So many people have run away, why don't you run?"
Zheng Tong smiled bitterly and said, "We also wanted to run at first, but we were reluctant to give up the family business here, so we hesitated so much, and later, we couldn't run away if we wanted to." These monsters, as vicious as they are, still allow us to live our own lives. It's just that every month, hundreds of pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks must be prepared for them. On average, the burden on each person is not too heavy, and it is lighter than the tax of the Tianfeng Monarch. However, if anyone dared to escape, they would surely catch and eat them. So, we have to do the same. ”
The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and I can only think that as Zheng Tong said, stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning.
Lu Chaoran saw that the little girl who opened the door for them was still standing aside, looking at them with dark eyes, and she was not afraid of people. This girl is about eight or nine years old, and she should be Zheng Tong's daughter.
Zheng Tong hurriedly said to his daughter: "Xiao Jiu, don't stand stupidly, go and pour a cup of tea for the guests." ”
Xiao Jiu didn't make a sound, just nodded stunnedly, and then walked over with a little staggering steps, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for everyone very seriously. Lu Chaoran felt that the little girl's walking posture was a little strange, as if she had a physical disability.
Zheng Tong picked up the teacup, looked around at everyone with a smile, and said, "Guests from afar, my family doesn't have any expensive tea hospitality, don't dislike home-grown tea." ”
So all three of them raised their glasses and wanted to drink.
At this time, Lu Chaoran was inexplicably restless in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong. He glanced and saw that the woman was peering through the crack in the door in the back room. Due to the relationship between the imitation purple night demon pupils, Lu Chaoran could see the situation in the very subtle places, so when he saw the greedy and fierce eyes behind the extremely small gap, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he became suspicious in his heart, and immediately smashed the cup, and slapped his left and right hands on Kong Zhu's wrists and Kong Zhao's wrists respectively.
"Don't drink!"
Almost at the same time, the woman behind the door also saw the gaze that Lu Chaoran shot over, although it was only for a moment, but she understood that this young man surnamed Lu had already discovered that she was peeping. A high-pitched, terrifying cry came from her throat.
As soon as the shout sounded, Zheng Tong's smile, who was sitting opposite Lu Chaoran, suddenly stiffened, and his eyes, which were smiling just now, suddenly became extremely cold.
Laugh at!
In order to knock off the empty bamboo and Kong Zhao's teacup, Lu Chaoran opened his arms and his chest was no longer protected! Zheng Tong's right hand firmly grabbed Lu Chaoran's chest, and Lu Chaoran's clothes suddenly cracked open a long gap, and blood burst out! The bench on which Lu Chaoran was sitting was immediately shattered, and Lu Chaoran also fell backwards, lying on the ground, motionless, and the blood on his chest gushed out.
Xiao Jiu, who was standing next to the empty bamboo, also suddenly threw away the teapot and opened his small mouth to bite the empty bamboo!
Kong Zhao shouted angrily, his legs flicked, and he jumped into the air, his right hand had already drawn his sword out of the sheath and stabbed at Zheng Tong, and at the same time, with a light wave of his left hand, two flying knives and two thistles broke through the air and hit Xiao Jiu on the opposite side!
