Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Human Heart Is Sinister
"O benefactor! You are all great benefactors of Binh Duong City! A gray-haired old man grabbed his uncle's arm and shouted excitedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Uncle Shi's disgusted gaze, he was afraid that he would throw people away as soon as he raised his hand. Chen Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and handed the half-dead fox over, and said with a proud face: "I sacrificed my life to capture it alive." ”
The Dongfang family master was startled and took a few steps back: "Quick! Take the stuff away! patted his throbbing chest, and barely squeezed out a smile: "If the two of you don't dislike it, please settle down in the mansion for the time being." ”
Chen Shuo waved his hand: "We still have to hurry, why don't we discount the entertainment expenses?" ”
The head of the Dongfang family has lived for so long, and he is definitely a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and this person who has been asking for money since the first time they met at the door of his house, except for the beggar in front of him.
But the elder's style still couldn't be dropped, so he pretended to look at the young man profoundly: "Young man, let's go into the mansion and talk about it." Uncle Shi pressed the impatient Chen Shuo and agreed with a smile.
Even the route to enter Dongfang Mansion again is completely different, and it is obvious that the West Wing is a remote road, and it is difficult to even meet a servant.
This time it was invited by the head of the family, and it was a flowery corridor, and the lights were bright along the way. Walking through the garden to the backyard of the winding water, there were even people who were already drunk and lying on the table, and the eyes of people who seemed to be drunk and not drunk looked at Chen Shuo with complicated eyes. Chen Shuo only thought that they were all drunk, and his eyes were not focused.
The point is that the delicacies of the mountains and seas deeply attracted Chen Shuo's attention, and the seductive appearance seemed to tease his endurance, you must know that the meal before he was captured by the goblins was already empty.
However, the head of the family insisted on introducing the cultivators who came from all over the world one by one, and the uncle saw Chen Shuo's greedy look, and smiled and said that he was going to greet him. The liberated Chen Shuo quickly touched the table and started eating, and that momentum was really a matter of time.
Clear-eyed people saw this scene, only when Chen Shuo was spoiled and the rich kid came out to play in the mountains and rivers, and the young man beside him was the master of monster hunting, and the east sentence "This young man is really heroic." "West sentence" is rare to be upright. Hearing that Chen Shuo next to him was embarrassed, cancer was about to be committed.
The head of the Dongfang family first introduced: "This hero, everyone is so enthusiastic about getting to know you, can you please introduce yourself?" ”
"We were just passing by your land, unfortunately we were attacked by goblins, and we tried our best to escape, so we are not heroes." Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that this master was not easy to stutter. That's right, the standard character of the master is not to be an ordinary person.
The clever man put his eyes on Chen Shuo, who was full of food and drink, and a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stepped forward to compliment: "The second son of the Lower Dongfang family, Dongfang Thunder, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”
"Oh, my name is Chen Shuo, and I'm the fifth in my family." His eyes rolled, and he said excitedly, "That is my third uncle, known as Chen Laosan." ”
Everyone here understands that these two are completely unwilling to wade into troubled waters, and even their names are nonsense. However, it is normal for capable people to look down on sentient beings, so everyone does not detour and directly say: "Actually, these goblins have been coming to Pingyang City for a while, and the number of missing people has gradually decreased. However, when the heroes suddenly caught one of them, we felt that it was very inappropriate. ”
"What do you mean? Still caught the wrong one? Chen Shuo asked in disbelief.
"The people of Pingyang City who have been cleaned up by goblins are struggling to make a living, and their living standards have plummeted. Finally, I hope they have enough trouble and left, but you bring them back......"
It's really a long experience, it turns out that Dongfang Mansion is not holding a meeting to discuss the crusade against the goblins, but to celebrate the goblins' departure, and they are still breathing.
Chen Shuo felt strange that there was usually a bounty for catching demons and killing demons to encourage everyone to participate, and the Dongfang family just invited the local squires to party and have fun together. Now it seems that people do not regard themselves as life-savers, but as life-savers.
"Anyway, we're desperate to bring you back the goblins, and you're free to dispose of them, you have to show it, right?"
The head of the Dongfang family had already seen Chen Shuo's straightforwardness, and ordered someone to offer a handful of gold, "Of course, my Dongfang family is not a person who knows how to repay his kindness, but I just hope that Engong can take this goblin away on the road." The people around echoed each other, and the eviction order was already obvious.
Chen Shuo walked unhurriedly towards the head of the Dongfang family, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, can we kill the demon for one night and borrow the treasure to live for one night?" ”
The head of the Dongfang family saw the threat under this politeness, nodded hurriedly, and ordered the chief housekeeper to beckon the hero who came to the door to rest.
Going around all the way back to the West Wing, Chen Shuo looked at the familiar courtyard and was full of doubts: "Housekeeper, do you generally arrange for people to live here?" ”
"You are a distinguished guest, and this yard is specially cleaned to entertain you."
"No one has lived there before?"
"This is the best place in the whole West Chamber, not only the yard is spacious but also well hidden, and there will be no idle people to disturb you."
Chen Shuo exchanged glances with his uncle and said no more. After all the servants went down, Chen Shuo had just blown out the lights when he heard the sound of the window being pushed open, and he directly picked up the vase he had prepared at hand and threw it over. There was no sound of falling to the ground and shattering, this is definitely not human.
Chen Shuo opened his mouth and shouted: "Uncle Shi! Help me! ”
"Well, I'm here." The dark shadow in front of him replied in a low voice.
In an instant, the room lit up again, and Uncle Shi flicked his fingers to light the candle, sat down at the table and began to drink tea. Looking at Uncle Shi's relaxed expression, Chen Shuo also calmed down.
"Uncle Shi, this Oriental family is very weird, didn't they find out that the guest who stayed last night was missing?"
"Well, maybe."
Even if there is no visitor registration, this kind of hospitality is too casual? Or did they simply know that the guests in the courtyard would disappear the next day?
"Uncle Shi, I think it's ......"
"Rest, there's something to say tomorrow, I'm here tonight."
Chen Shuo saw Uncle Shi's tired appearance, and asked embarrassedly: "Or, Uncle Shi, you come to bed to rest, and I will keep vigil." As he spoke, he took out the auspicious person who was sleeping and recuperating from his injuries in the package and held it up: "We will guard it together, don't worry." ”
Uncle Shi strode over and lay down without hesitation. Chen Shuo was just about to get up when he was pressed by one arm, and a familiar voice said hoarsely, "Let's sleep together." ”
Chen Shuo stiffened his body and remained motionless for a long time, until his uncle let out a slight snoring sound, and then he relaxed. Slightly sideways to put the sleeping Jixiang between the two, but Jixiang seemed to feel that the space was small, and his limbs were playing around, Chen Shuo was afraid of waking up his uncle, so he immediately carried it to the side of the bed. Jixiang stretched out comfortably, and poor Chen Shuo, who was sleeping in the middle, could only curl up.
