This Zhang Yanchong's original name was actually Zhang Qing, but later because there were too many lives on his body, he had to change his name as a last resort, and Zhang Yanchong continued to wander in the rivers and lakes. Zhang Yanchong's hometown is in the desert in the west, and he used to be a righteous gentleman since he was a child, but after some things he experienced later, he gradually changed to what he is now.
There is always a shocking poignancy in the desert, especially when the bloody sunset splashes its light on the golden sand dunes, which is even more beautiful and intoxicating.
On the edge of the desert, on the other side of the sunset, sits a dilapidated city, the walls of which seem to have just been fought, as if they had not been built, but fortunately here it is separated from the neighboring country by a desert, so it is far from the war, otherwise it will be vulnerable.
The bloody sunset ushered in the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of gorgeously dressed people rode through the city gates, attracting the attention of everyone in the street, a rare group of outsiders, about which the closed town is always extremely curious.
The splendid people did have a kind of momentum of ignoring everything, and they ignored everyone, and walked straight to the still bustling street, and in front of an inn with no name, dismounted, and entered the store.
The inn in the town does not need a name, here it is the only inn.
The innkeeper is a fat man full of greasy, because he is a part-time chef here, today he ushered in the first business of the month, he is already happy to close his mouth, the guests sit down, the chef shopkeeper immediately shouted in: "Xiao Su!" It's time to make a fire, and here comes the guests.
Someone inside replied, "Got it."
The chef shopkeeper smiled all over his face and said, "I don't know how many people want to eat, the small ones are prepared for the guest officers."
There were five people who came, a couple, and a lovely girl of eleven or twelve years old, and two older boys, and the man in the couple was about to speak, but was interrupted by his wife, and said, "What else can I eat in this poor place, just fill my stomach!"
The man said, "Then stir-fry a few dishes and serve home-cooked meals on the table."
The chef deliberately raised his voice and said, "Okay!"
It seems that in order to deal with the big shopkeeper's "good", an exclamation suddenly came from the inner hall: "It's not good!" The chef's face was gloomy, and a young man in a dirty cloth dress had run out of the inner hall, still shouting "not good" in his mouth at the moment.
"You don't want to eat dinner anymore! Shouting and scaring the guests, you are responsible!" The shopkeeper rebuked.
The young man lowered his head and said in a low voice, "But the kitchen firewood ran out this morning."
"What!" The decibel of the shopkeeper is better than the young man, "Didn't I ask you to go outside to collect firewood?"
The young man's voice became even quieter: "There are monsters in the desert in the past two days, who dares to go out....."
"Youkai, you say?" The man at the guest table suddenly spoke. The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Children are talking nonsense, don't believe ...... guest officer"
The man said lightly: "Did I ask you?" The man's voice seems to have magic, obviously the voice is not loud, but the shopkeeper does not dare to talk more, but he just makes a look at the young man again and again, how do you know that the young man sees the shopkeeper eating turtles, and his heart is happy. The last time I went out of the city to collect firewood, I saw it with my own eyes! It's good that I didn't find out, otherwise ....."
The shopkeeper couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
The young man glanced at the man, the man nodded, and the young man said, "I'm not the only one who has seen the monster, and the second pillar of the cloth shop next door has also seen it!"
The fat shopkeeper's face was like ashes, and he secretly said in his heart that this business must not be done, and the guests will definitely not stay here any longer.
The shopkeeper was calculating, and suddenly a white shadow flashed in front of him, "Peng", there was already a big silver ingot on the ground, and the group of guests had gotten up and walked out of the inn at some point, and the man's words before leaving still echoed in the lobby, "These ten taels of silver are considered to be the reward for our interruption, but your little man must also lend me a favor."
The chef only shook the dazzling silver in front of him, which was worth half a year's income, and the young man's stay was certainly not worth caring about.
The desert under the night sky is more beautiful, here, people seem to be able to see the whole universe, Zhang Yanchong is here, feeling as if he is an ant.
If Zhang Yanchong is an ant, then the man next to him at this time is a slightly physical beast, at this time the man has long since disappeared from the calmness he had in the inn, the sword on his waist has already been drawn, and his breathing is surprisingly slight.
Zhang Yanchong was naturally the innkeeper who had just been taken out of the inn and followed this group of distinguished guests to the inn outside the city, the young man covered in dirt. These strangers around him don't seem to be ordinary people, because after hearing that there are monsters here, not only did they not show any panic, but on their faces, there was also a trace of joy, it was indeed joy, this was extremely strange, although they all held swords in their hands, even if they took the little girl who looked smaller than themselves, they were also holding a blue light long sword, but Zhang Yanchong still didn't think that the small flesh and blood body could really take the huge "monster" as prey.
The roar of the beast in the distance was terrifying, and the man suddenly stopped and asked, "Is this it?"
Zhang Yanchong didn't stop for a while, and hit the man, Zhang Yanchong felt like hitting a wall, he rubbed his forehead that hurt a little, looked around, the moonlight was bright, the vision was very clear, Zhang Yanchong said: "Yes, it's here, that's right!"
After a long time, no one answered his words, and Zhang Yanchong had to ask: "Now that the road has been brought, may I ask, can I go back?"
Zhang Yanchong's side, it was the girl, the girl gently pulled his sleeve, made a silent gesture to him, Zhang Yanchong didn't know, and wanted to ask again, the man's unique voice sounded again: "Aru, give this kid some silver, let him go first, that thing is coming soon."
The woman responded, came to Zhang Yanchong, and stuffed a bag into Zhang Yanchong's arms, which was heavy, and obviously had a lot of silver. Zhang Yanchong was ecstatic in his heart, took the silver, turned around, and left. After walking a few steps, Zhang Yanchong stopped again and said, "Uncle, do you want to hunt that monster?" I advise you not to be stupid....... Don't take any chances, that's not something you can fight against."
The girl on the side suddenly giggled and said, "Silly boy! My father's ability is great, what do you know, don't believe it, you just stay and see how my father subdues demons?"
The girl's smile in the moonlight was extremely cute, but Zhang Yanchong's face was flushed by what the girl said, and he said angrily: "Hmph! I don't want to wait here to die!"
