Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Man-Eating Beast of Merlin Mountain

After a few "bang, bang......" A few sounds, footsteps came from inside the door.

The wooden door opened a crack, a small guy poked his head out of the door, and saw that it was a tattered teenage child, thinking that it was a little flower child who wanted to eat, and his face showed a little boredom, he just wanted to reprimand loudly, but he caught a glimpse of a man and a woman standing behind the child, and found that the young man and woman seemed to be extraordinary, thinking that it must be the patient's family who came to seek medical treatment, so he opened a door, revealing his whole body, and said respectfully: "I'm really sorry, two, my master has been out of office for many days, Let's find another doctor."

Chu Yun'er smiled slightly and said, "Little brother, we are not here to see a doctor, we are here to find someone."

"Looking for someone, looking for someone," the little guy asked.

Chu Yun'er looked down at the young man and said, "Xiaozhu, tell him your brother's name."

"My brother's name is Liu Zhu" The young man was originally a little cowardly, but when he saw that it was Chu Yun'er who asked a question, he plucked up the courage to reply.

"Liu Zhu" the little guy muttered to himself, scratching his head in thought.

After pondering for a moment, he asked as if he suddenly remembered: "But Liu Zhuzi, the apprentice of the shopkeeper Liu" He looked the young man up and down, and said unconvincedly: "Then who are you?"

"I'm his younger brother, Liu Xiaozhu" The young man listened to the little girl's question, his excitement was uncontrollable, and his voice became louder.

"His brother, I heard that he has a younger brother, okay, you wait, I'll look for it, see if he's in the house," the little guy said and entered the door, and closed the door with his hand.

After a while, the door opened again, and a young man less than twenty years old came out, and when the man saw the young man at the door, he was pleasantly surprised: "Xiaozhu, why are you here?"

Knowing that Chu Yun'er and the second master had nowhere to go for the time being, he left them to stay in the Li Mansion for one night, and the three of them followed Liu Zhu into the Li Mansion Guest House.

When he entered the room, the young man suddenly threw himself into Liu Zhu's arms, choked and cried bitterly: "Brother, the village is gone, and grandma is gone."

The joy on Liu Zhu's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked in disbelief: "What?" What's going on."

Xiao Zhu slowly told all the things that had happened in the past month or so and how he escaped and came to Meilin Town, and learned that it was Chu Yun'er and the second master who subdued the strange people in the village, and sent Xiao Zhu to Meilin Town, although he lost his relatives, he still respectfully thanked Chu Yun'er and the second master.

After dinner, Liu Zhu took Xiaozhu to his own residence to rest, leaving Chu Yun'er and the second master to live in the same room, which was Chu Yun'er's own strong request, although Liu Zhu was puzzled, he didn't ask much, he just thought that they were newlyweds who had just gotten married, and they dressed as girls when they went out for convenience.

In fact, it was Chu Yun'er who didn't worry about the second master living alone, she stayed by the second master's side, if something happened, she could still persuade the second master, she also wanted to ask Liu Zhu about the strange phenomenon seen in the town, considering that the two brothers had not seen each other for several months, there must be a lot to say, and because it was getting late, it was better to ask Liu Zhu tomorrow.

As soon as she lay down on the bed, there was a knock on the door, Chu Yun'er dressed and opened the door to see that it was Liu Zhu, and asked in surprise: "But what's the matter?"

Liu Zhu was apologetic and said, "I'm sorry to disturb the rest of the two, it's my lord who wants to see the two benefactors."

Chu Yun'er was surprised, and sighed in her heart, could it be that she was seen by a young lady of the Li family when she entered the door just now, and this Li family also wanted to recruit a son-in-law like Liu Yuanwai? Although he thought so in his heart, his face was impassive, almost with a trace of coldness, and asked, "Did your master say that there was something to do with the two of me?"

"This ...... It's me who is talkative, and told my lord about the two benefactors subduing the weirdos, presumably the two benefactors have seen the white lights hanging high in the town when they entered the town, and there are really monsters doing it, my lord wants to ask the two of you if you have a good plan to save the people of the town from fire and water" After speaking, Liu Zhu actually knelt in front of Chu Yun'er with both knees.

"You, Brother Liu, please get up, we will go with you" Chu Yun'er hurriedly helped Liu Zhu up, feeling a little guilty for her suspiciousness, she went into the house and invited the second master to come out, and then went to the living room with Liu Zhu.

In the hall of the main house of the Li Mansion, the white-haired old man looked at the curtain at the door with a solemn face, and when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, he quickly got up to greet him.

Chu Yun'er and the second master stepped into the main hall, and the old man raised his hand sideways and said respectfully: "Two distinguished guests, please."

After the two of them sat down and the servants served tea, he sat down at the top and said with a smile: "Hehe, the two distinguished guests are here, please forgive me if the hospitality is not considerate."

"Master Li is polite, it's the two of us who disturbed your mansion, why don't you come from it?"

"Hehe, the old man invited the two of you to come, it's really something to ask for" Master Li pondered for a moment and then got straight to the point.

"Master Li, please say, if it is within the power of the two of us, I will do my best to help"

"Okay, good, I don't know when you two enter the town, you can see that most of the houses in the town are hanging white lights."

"I did see it, and I asked Master Li to solve my doubts"

Old Man Li sighed, and said with a sad face: "This matter has to start from ten days ago......

It turns out that Meilin Town relies on Meilin Mountain, there are dozens of miles in radius, there is a large piece of Meilin on the mountain, so it is called Meilin Mountain, Meilin Town is also from this, ten days ago, another family in the town surnamed Zheng's family of four medicine boys went to Meilin Mountain to collect medicine according to the past, suddenly encountered a monster in the forest, two medicine children because they could not escape, were torn apart alive, since that day after the incident, there were two farmers who cut wood disappeared in the mountains, since then no one dared to go to Meilin Mountain, but after the next day, every night there were several people missing in their own homes, The monster could not find food in the mountains, so it sneaked into the town at night to capture the lone travelers, and now the town closes its doors at night, but still people are missing.

"According to the medicine boy who escaped by chance, it is a long-haired monster covered in black and gray, which can climb and jump, extremely fast, and can also immobilize people's bodies, so that people can't move, and can only wait for the monster to devour themselves, and now the people in the town are already in fear, and they don't even dare to go out alone during the day, and the old man doesn't even dare to open the door of the pharmacy, it's really miserable" After Master Li finished speaking, he sighed again, and his eyes seemed to have tears flashing.

Chu Yun'er was also in a sad mood after hearing this, so many people had disappeared in the town in ten days, it could be seen that this monster was not an ordinary carnivore, so she asked: "Master Li, why don't you organize a team of people to go up the mountain to hunt and kill that monster?"

"Madame didn't know, at first it was to organize a team of people to go up the mountain to hunt and kill, but the monster was not seen by the dragon, not only did it not find it, but it also lost several people, and there was a fortune teller in the town who said that the monster had been cultivated into a fine cultivation, and ordinary people were afraid that they would not be defeated."
