"I've drunk too much, and I'm calling your master, helping you steal horses, and showing you the way?" said Feng Mian with his mouth wide open and a look of disbelief.

"Ah, what else?" Shen Boran's face was full of affirmation.

"You don't fool me, it's not that you drank too much, so you blame me!" Feng Mian's face turned red as a spirit.

"What Sister Xiaomian said is reasonable, I broke it. ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Feng Mian shook his face, arrogant like a white swan.

....

Shen Boran led the horse and walked on the street. The streets were deserted, and there was no one to be seen. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this before the shift, when I was in Wanglin Village before, I basically didn't close until midnight, and now it's not too late, this should be the time when the restaurant and small teahouse are the most crowded.

Walked along the road for a while, whether it is a house or a teahouse, there is really no door to welcome guests, the avenue is deserted, some stalls still have the candy and children's small toys left, all the doors and windows are two-layer or even three-layer plywood, it is really impermeable.

When the moon is in the sky, the cold wind is bleak, and Shen Boran is unexpectedly blown a wit, "You still have to find a family to shelter from the wind, the most important thing is to eat something." "Shen Boran is not particularly afraid of the cold, his body has been fully transformed, even if he wears a short shirt in winter, it will not be good.

But if you don't eat, you can't do it, and you may change to another person who doesn't eat for two days and will have a mess of the mind and be weak all over. But not only does he have these symptoms when he skips food, but it also causes the body's merit to slowly drain, which is fatal to him.

"Oh, is there anyone?" Shen Boran tried to knock on the door of the room with light, and the light went out in an instant.

"I'm not a robber. Shen Boran was displeased, so he knocked on the third, fourth... Until the seventeenth family, every family is like this, there must be demons in the abnormal, Shen Boran thought in his heart and knocked on the door of the eighteenth family.

"Uncle, the silk you ordered in Hanyan Town has arrived, a total of twenty seven horses, three thousand six hundred li two silver. You inspect the goods. ”

After a while, a middle-aged man's voice came out of the room, and his voice was a little rough: "I haven't been to Hanyan Town, and I don't know what silk is it, you can go, it's the wrong one." ”

"But after the buyer paid the money, he said that it was 27 households in Shanghe Village! Are you sure? What about the goods of more than 3,000 taels of silver? If you don't accept it, we won't be able to pay the difference." Shen Boran said embarrassedly.

The room was dimly lit, and next to the small oil lamp on the table was a small bed, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to the bed, not tall, and in the bed was a lady in her thirties, holding a child of seven or eight years old in her arms.

"Kid, father, or you go to the window to take a look, what if you really send something to us!"

"Yulan, you are confused, our family is poor and white, just rely on making a few baskets and selling some scraps of money, how can there be so many good things in the world!"

"I don't care, the child will go to school in a few days, and he hasn't made it up at all, so can he let the child have no interest in weaving baskets with you for the rest of his life?" said the lady, tears falling from her eyes.

Shen Boran heard a little movement coming from inside and knew that there was a play, so he said: "Uncle, if you don't believe me, I can only leave, I have time to go back to pay errands, and I can't afford to miss the time." ”

The middle-aged man was pushed by Magnolia, his eyes looked out, the window was too tightly sealed, and it could be seen from the few small cracks that there was indeed a dark horse.

The middle-aged man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Here, you wait!"

Listening to the rattling of the door panel, the middle-aged man removed the door pillar, opened the door panel on two floors, and finally the door opened leisurely.

Shen Boran seized the opportunity at all times, and the moment the door opened, he rushed into the house, and the middle-aged man saw that he knew that it was not good, grabbed a kitchen knife from the cutting board, and entered the house, and slashed at Shen Boran's front door.

Shen Boran was sitting on a chair eating steamed buns, when he saw a kitchen knife coming, and he was so frightened that he was hiding back and forth with the steamed buns in his mouth.

This man was extremely heavy, and there were words in his mouth: "Demon, I will kill you... Hack you to death.."

The kitchen knife was waved back and forth in his hand, Shen Boran dodged repeatedly, but the middle-aged man was unrelenting, and it was another knife, this knife was actually slashed towards the mouth, and most of the steamed buns fell to the ground, now Shen Boran was completely angry, looking at the half of the steamed buns on the ground, he began to tremble, and said word by word in his mouth: "Waste food, you should kill!"

"Xieyang!" Shen Boran was so angry that he burst into his mouth, and the slanting sun came out in response, and the hilt of the sword flew into Shen Boran's hand, this is the skill he has learned in the past two days, the basic sword control technique.

But just when Shen Boran summoned the sword, the middle-aged man lifted the knife as if his right shoulder was chopping. Shen Boran's hand shape changed, the blade reversed, protecting in front of him, the man fell on the sword body, the metal resonant sounded and the roots of his ears stinged, and the middle-aged man's blade was directly cut in half, half in his hand, half in the air after spinning for a while and then falling under the bed. Shen Boran instantly put the knife on his body.

"Don't!" the woman shouted.

Shen Boran didn't intend to hurt this middle-aged man, and slowly withdrew the sword from its scabbard.

"Oops, it's good that it wasn't dirty within five seconds of falling underground. Shen Boran patted the dust, sat on the chair, and continued to eat.

"Shao, Shaoxia, you are not a monster. The middle-aged man asked as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"I'm not a demon in the first place, and I'm still a demon descendant" Shen Boran briefly said what happened to him when he got lost, and the couple put their hearts at ease.

Yulan went to serve a bowl of soup to the little young man, and by the way, she was taking two hot steamed buns. ”

"Alas, alas, I'll go!" said the lady, and went into the kitchen.

"Hey, uncle, just close the door, where is me?" Seeing that this uncle wants to insert the door bolt, add the door panel, and top the door pillar on the left back, Shen Boran said.

"Okay, with the young man here, I'll relax a lot," the middle-aged man said.

The little boy on the bed had big eyes, a little chubby compared to the two couples, biting his index finger in his mouth, looking at the steamed bun in Shen Boran's hand motionless.

Shen Boran looked a little funny, walked over, pouted, and said in a thick voice, "Little friend, what's your name!"

"Brother, my name is Zhang Shunzi. ”

Shen Boran nodded painfully, the child is quite polite, but a little sloppy, but it doesn't hurt.

"Let's eat!" Chen Boran broke off half of the steamed bun and gave it to Zhang Shunzi.

"Thank you, brother. "Even though it's a boy, his voice is sweet.

After a while, Mrs. Magnolia prepared a bowl of fresh soup and two steamed buns. Shen Boran wanted to ask the child to eat together, but his mother reprimanded the child instead.

"Uncle, the villagers here are very hospitable," Shen Boran said as he ate the steamed buns that had just come out of the pot.

"Little young man, you don't have to inquire about this village, the evil sect is ruthless!" Uncle Zhang mentioned that this body was so nervous, even just now that he didn't have such fear, this is probably the fear of unknown phenomena.

"Hi, you forgot what you just did... Shen Boran bumped Uncle Zhang's guts.

"Alas, this has been going on for more than a year..."Uncle Zhang began to tell an incredible story.

Shanghe Village can be said to be a large village within a radius of dozens of miles, and there are more than 200 villagers in the village.

But you are wrong to think so, Shanghe Village, built as a village for two hundred years, borders mountains and rivers in the east, rivers in the north, and the most important thing is that there is also known as the largest town in the east, Hanyan Town, in the southwest.

And six villages, such as Zhonghe Village, Xiahe Village, Tufeng Village, etc., must pass through Shanghe Village when taking the official road.

The so-called residents close to the official road are all unique with one hand, and the residents who rely on the inside are also relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft, although the life is not rich and expensive, but it is also extremely easy to eat and dress warmly. This is something that many remote villages can't even think of.

But one day, the nightmare of Shanghe Village sounded the alarm from the cry of an old mother.

"Ahh Where's my child, Xiao Xuan... Stop playing, I want to see you, come out quickly...."An old mother looked for her child with tears in her eyes.

At this moment, it will be dark, the flow of people on the street is not much, many vendors are also ready to play foreign, at this moment seeing such a situation, some people began to talk about each other, some people also laughed from time to time, of course, there are also a few good neighbors and friends to help find it.

This mother's name is Zhou Cuihua, and she sells some small snacks on the south side of the street on weekdays, and her craftsmanship is very good, and she has won the hearts of customers.

But there is only one point, her hands are a little heavy when she weighs to sell dim sum. And foreign guests and businessmen rarely find this on the spot, but there are also a lot of businesses in this village, and some of them go straight to her to settle accounts, so she puts on a posture of refusing to admit it, and others are not easy to say.

So many people who have suffered losses call him Zhou Yushou behind their backs, but she doesn't pay much attention to it, saying that she is alone, all for the sake of the child to earn more money and so on.

To be honest, after hearing that her child had an accident and many people were sad on the surface, they didn't know how happy they were in their hearts, and some people even added a dish to celebrate.

However, the good times did not last long, and more and more children went missing, sometimes even two children in a day, including local residents and merchants, and although this incident alarmed the official family, the inventory for many days did not show any progress, and did not even reduce the loss of children in the slightest.

Now it's blown up, some people say that this is the crazy thief with a thousand faces, and some people say that it was done by the flower demon hand unconsciously, and even more said that it is a curse, in order to punish those who have done evil things...

But these are not the most mysterious, it is an old man who is mentally abnormal after losing his child said that it was the shadow that swallowed the child in one bite...

"What, eaten by a shadow?" Shen Boran listened to the narration as he nibbled on the steamed bun. But his expression was very serious.

"The shadow in the crack of the door over there seems to be a bit weird. Shen Boran pressed his temples and looked very tired.

The couple looked back, there was nothing, Uncle Wang wiped the sweat on his head, and turned around to find the little young man fainting on the table.

At this moment, the corners of Madame Magnolia's mouth showed a trace of strange arc......
