[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the water demon reappeared in the sea of grass off Dianchi Lake, looking at the children playing in the sea of grass. At the same time, an old snake at the bottom of the lake falls to the surface of the water and spits water at a child, intending to kill the child. At the critical moment, the water demon arrived in time and did not hesitate to save the child who was attacked by the old snake, and the old snake then dived into the lake. The water demon never thought that he was hateful, and instead of getting the gratitude of the rescued child, he was so frightened that the child ran away. Led out Mu Qingming to work in the warehouse, and when he had nothing to do, he chatted with the guys about the water demon, and after learning some clues, he planned to visit the sea of grass at night to find out. At the same time, under the support of the fishermen, a bull-nosed old road came to the fishing village by the grass sea, walked into the house of the child who was rescued by the water demon, and saw the child squatting in the corner and shivering. 】

The wind blows from the green lake below the mountain, the branches of the old trees outside the warehouse are swaying, and the vines on the wall are swaying in the wind.

The guys in the courtyard were at a loss; Although the water demon is rumored to be haunted in the sea of grass in Dianchi Lake outside the city, the sea of grass is connected to the city. And in the spring city, there is a pattern of half city and half water, and the river water is almost all over the city.

In the city, there are not only the Xiba River with a group of fish and shrimp under the earthen bridge of Dongsi Street, the Wulong River with sea cauliflowers, the Mingtong River that flows from north to south through the Fude Bridge and flows into the Dianchi Lake to the west, as well as the Cailian River from Luosi Bay and the Yudai River under the Shuanglong Bridge, as well as the Panlong River and the Daguan River, all of which run through the entire Spring City, forming a pattern of three rivers flowing in parallel, two belts lingering and a dense river network (most of the rivers mentioned here have now become underground rivers).

Who knows if the water demon will be in a bad mood or in a good mood, and suddenly cruise along the river from Dianchi Lake to the spring city full of rivers and bays, and then attack others in the city?

And the guys in the warehouse are all living in the city, and when they heard that there was such a water demon, they couldn't help but be a little panicked and a little frightened in a daze.

"If there is any water demon, whoever is deceiving the public, don't do anything here." Sha Weng, who entered the door, immediately walked over with a straight face, and scolded in a deep voice: "You can all talk about that kind of rumor so energetically, don't you have to work so idle?" ”。

The loud and powerful rebuke was loud and loud, and the guys were relieved from their confusion. They turned their heads to look at the Shaon who was standing in the courtyard, and in a blink of an eye they dispersed and went about their own business.

In a moment, the small courtyard, which was still lively, was quiet again. Some of the guys went to feed the horses, some went to the warehouse to sort out the goods, and for a while only the young man who had told the rumors of the water demon was left in the small courtyard.

"Come here, little black." The young man was about to tiptoe away, but Shaon stopped him.

In the noise, the young man named Kuroko hurriedly paused, scratched his head with a smile when he looked at Sha Weng, and then walked boldly to Sha Weng and stood still, and couldn't help but glance at Mu Qingming beside Sha Weng with a curious gaze.

"This is Young Master Mu Qingmingmu, who was hired by the lord and his wife to watch you work. And Madame has already explained, you will not be a horse foot in the future (Ma foot is a horse driver who drives horses for the horse gang. You don't have to travel with the caravan, you just follow Young Master Mu and help him manage the guys in the warehouse. Sha Weng put away the gloom when he scolded them before, and said to the little black man: "Although the dividends of the Horse Gang are gone, the lord and the lady promise to give you an extra twelve oceans every month. ”。

"Okay." Little Blacks didn't think much about it. Anyway, if you go out with the caravan, the dividends will be dozens of oceans, and you can go up to two times a year, which is basically the same as the salary you add to him. What's more, Xiao Heizi is honest by nature, and he is not a calculating person. He nodded his head without thinking.

Then he raised his eyes to look at Mu Qingming, who was smiling.

"He is a little black, and he used to be the foot of our caravan on the line of the Bonan Ancient Road (the Bonan Ancient Road refers to the horse gang trade route from Sichuan, through Yunnan, Myanmar to India. ）。 Immediately afterwards, Sha Weng introduced Mu Qingming again: "Xiao Heizi will follow you in the future and help you fight, he knows everything in the warehouse, how can you ask him if he doesn't understand." ”。

"Okay." After Mu Qingming answered, he greeted Xiao Heizi.

After everything was ready, Sha Weng, who remembered that there were other things to do, said to Mu Qingming: "Then I have to go to the south of the city to urge a batch of goods, and the matter here will be handed over to you, Young Master Mu." ”。

"Okay." After Mu Qingming nodded in response, he turned around and watched Sha Weng walk out of the warehouse, and disappeared from his sight after a while.

"Young Master Mu, please come with me, and I'll take you around." Kuroko said this, and took Mu Qingming, who nodded, around the warehouse.

After looking at the stables in the back, the warehouses on the left and right, and then the blacksmith's stove in the corner, Mu Qingming also had a general understanding of the work in this warehouse. This is a special warehouse for the Qi family's horse gang, and only the houses where the guys live during the vigil are reserved, and the services for the accommodation of the merchants are not provided to the public. In addition to storing some of the goods that the Qi family caravan was going to go, it was just to provide a place to store the goods for the other pony gangs in the city who did not have warehouses and some small traders who did not have warehouses.

The operation is also very simple; In addition to the goods that are about to be transported by the caravan, or the goods that need to be consigned by the caravan are temporarily stored in the warehouse. That is, when someone comes to inventory, first inspect the goods and then put the goods in the warehouse, and finally collect the rent according to the value and quantity of the goods.

And Mu Qingming's job is also very simple, 9 to 5, watching the guys inside do things, don't be lazy and eat inside and outside (say cheap goods as valuable, and then blackmail with the people in stock. Or steal goods out and buy them. ）。

As for other things, such as issuing vouchers and pricing for the goods, Shaon will do it himself.

Compared with when he was in Rong Bao Zhai, it was less leisurely but also more novel.

"I know everything I need to know." After turning around, Mu Qingming followed Xiao Heizi to the main house and sat down, took the tea that Xiao Heizi made for him, listened to the clanging sound of the blacksmiths outside the house making horse chews, and asked Xiao Hei again: "Do you still beat horse chews and sell them?" ”。

"Yes, the pony gang doesn't have their own blacksmith, so they can't do this, so they can only buy things like horses and horse chews from us or the blacksmiths in the city." Xiao Heizi, who also poured himself a cup of tea, sat down in front of Mu Qingming, nodded and said this, slowly blowing the hot air of the tea fragrance rising from the cup.

"I heard you talk about the water demon when I entered the door, what's going on?" Mu Qingming, who then took a sip of the Mabang tea in the cup, smashed his mouth, looked at the guys who came and went between the warehouses outside the front door, and asked casually: "Is it a real thing or is it nothing?" ”。

"Alas, who knows if it's true or not, I heard it when I was unloading at the Zhangtang wharf this morning. It is said that yesterday afternoon, on the grassy sea south of the Daguan River, a terrifying-looking water demon suddenly emerged from the water, which looked similar to a human, but still carried a turtle shell on its back; But the few children who were playing in the sea of grass were scared. One of the children was so frightened that he is speechless to this day. After speaking, Kuroko let out a long sigh, and a look of regret flashed on his face, as if he was deeply sympathetic to the frightened child's plight.

And Mu Qingming, who raised the teacup again and handed the cup to his mouth, didn't ask any more questions, and drank the tea leisurely; But he secretly thought to himself: "Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, so why don't you go to the sea of grass tonight to find out." ”......

The quiet and tranquil sea of grass is full of fragrant grass, and the reeds are swaying in the wind.

A group of fishermen gathered around a silver beard, and the old road with a cow's nose walked along the gentle side, towards the fishing village, so not majestic.

The collar of the robe was inlaid with plain collars, the cuffs were tied with knots, and on his back he carried a peachwood sword tightly wrapped in yellow cloth, and in his right hand he held a three-clear bell made of brass with a palm-length handle topped in the shape of a mountain. With every step, the three clear bells in his hands will shake gently, making a crisp and melodious ringtone.

The Taoist people are fishermen, the great immortals invited from Guandu. It is said that in Guandu, this person is very agile, and he is proficient in killing demons, eliminating disasters and warding off evil spirits.

So the fishermen scraped together some money and invited this Taoist from Guandu. In order to exorcise evil spirits from children who are frightened by water demons, so that your children can return to normal.

After arriving in the fishing village, the Taoist came to the fishing village, and under the leadership of the villagers, he shuttled through the small flat room made of adobe, and came to the east of the village, in front of a small courtyard with three small bungalows arranged in the shape of a finished glyph.

A woman in a patched blue shirt and pants waited anxiously at the door, and the anxiety and nervousness on her face faded a little when she saw the Taoist coming this way.

When the Taoist approached, he saw this Taoist immortal wind and bones, and the tension disappeared in an instant.

The man walked to the door and stood still, talked with the woman for a few words, and after talking about the child's condition, let the woman lead the way into the courtyard, and came to the east room of the courtyard.

The east house, where the sun doesn't shine, is very shabby. The walls are adobe, the beams are covered with thick straw, and the furnishings are simple, except for a small bed in the corner, which is only covered with a thin bedding. There is also a wooden wardrobe in the corner at the other end. Other than that, there was no other furniture in the house.

A boy of seven or eight years old squatted in the corner of the bed, shivering.

Hearing the loud noise, the boy raised his head, revealing haggard dead gray cheeks, his purple-black lips still trembling, and a faint dark circle around his sunken eye sockets.

The woman was the mother of the child, and the child was the child who had been frightened by the legendary water demon yesterday. Without saying a word, he looked at the crowd that had squeezed into his room with two bloodshot eyes.

Under the shadows, the child's face and eyes were gloomy, and with that stupid look, he was really a little cautious!

Seeing her child so haggard overnight, the woman couldn't help but burst into tears, and pleaded with the man in a trembling voice: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief, you can save my child." ”。

This person was suddenly startled, and his heart was secretly at a loss.

What kind of Taoist is he, but a man in Taoist robes. In his early years, he fled to the vicinity of Kunming, and in a dilapidated ancestral hall in the mountains, he picked up a discarded Taoist robe and the peachwood sword he was carrying. In order to survive, this person took advantage of the alternation of dynasties to go around in chaos, put on a Taoist robe, and started the industry of pretending to be a god and a ghost.

To put it bluntly, he is an out-and-out useless magic stick.

What will Mu Qing find when he visits the sea of grass at night? Will that person help a frightened child? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
