Jiangzhou Jinhua.

Guobei County.

It has been a while since Mrs. Ye descended on this small county town near the southern suburbs.

Because it is far away from the outskirts of the giant city, close to the territory of the giant demon, and there is no monk holy land like Lingyin Temple around it, it is reasonable that this place is much more chaotic than other regions in Jiangzhou.

The streets are full of outlaws with swords and swords, and even many of them have committed their lives in other state capitals before fleeing to Guobei County, which is half a place outside the law.

Not only outlaws, but also teams of bounty hunters with bounty orders and equally arrogant spirits also appeared on the streets from time to time.

Many times, the bounty hunters and the Jiangyang thieves who were rewarded were just a pair of eyes, and they instantly made a ball of sonorous sounds.

Although the people around him quickly retreated, they were not surprised at all as if they had been used to this situation for a long time.

When the fight was over and the corpses were collected, the surrounding vendors returned to their original places and began to sell their goods again, as if they were all right.

Perhaps because of the proximity to the territory of the troll, the things sold on the streets are very different from those in other towns, and there are very few daily necessities, fruits, vegetables, and meat, but there are many Taoist talismans with superficial exorcism functions, Buddhist beads opened by monks, or swords, guns and sticks.

Mrs. Ye was not surprised, because in the relatively peaceful modern era, the border areas are much more chaotic than other regions, not to mention that there are no surveillance cameras on this side, there is no real-name system, but there is an ancient mythical world where monsters are rampant.

Mrs. Ye didn't hit the mountain gate of the tree demon grandmother immediately, he had to touch the situation for the time being, but after all, this was a fusion world, and he didn't know if the tree demon grandmother didn't give face to the Lingyin Temple so much, whether there was anything to rely on.

I found a humble inn and walked in.

Finding a spare table, Mrs. Ye sat down, and stroked her palm on the table, it was quite clean, but the criss-crossing old and new knife marks on it once again showed that this place was not peaceful.

"Guest, what do you want to eat?"

A shopkeeper ran over.

Mrs. Ye said casually: "Just have a pot of wine, and then serve two dishes casually." ”

"Gotcha~"

The shopkeeper answered, and went to the back kitchen to pass the word.

After a while, a pot of wine of unknown varieties and a plate of salt-baked peanuts were sent to Mrs. Ye's table.

"Guest, two more meals will come later, wait a moment."

Ye Tai nodded lightly, and after the shopkeeper left, he drank wine while listening to the chatter of the diners around him.

"I heard that there are dead people in the east again!"

"Isn't this normal, there are dead people in the north, dead people in the south, dead people in the west, when will there be no dead people here?"

"It's different, I heard that it was done by monsters, and one by one they were sucked dry and turned into dried corpses!"

"I've heard about it, too, but it's all outsiders who die, because as long as you stay here for a few decades, you know where you can go and where you can't, since it's a new cub, it's better to die than to let those monsters target us as residents."

"It's also said that it's better to die a few more outsiders than to die to us."

The people at each table were still chatting with each other, and in their words, it was like talking after tea, and they never regarded human life as a matter.

"Yo? Guest, come to stay, Agen, take the luggage for the guest. ”

At this moment, a little white face carrying a wooden bag and dressed as a scholar, but a little down, walked into the inn.

The shopkeeper saw at a glance that the tiredness between the man's eyebrows and the dust on his body, so he thought that he had come to stay and rest, called the shopkeeper, and went to take over the guest's luggage.

"No, no, no, boss, I'm not here to stay, I'm a guy sent by Jibao Zhai to collect the bills." The scholar hurriedly explained.

"Debt collection?" The shopkeeper's voice changed suddenly.

And the shopkeeper, who originally took over the scholar's wooden bag and had an enthusiastic expression, also changed his face instantly, threw the bag in his hand on the ground, and turned to greet the other guests.

"Hey, hey, hey! My luggage! ”

Seeing this, the scholar hurriedly stepped forward and picked up his bag.

Mrs. Ye was naturally attracted by this person.

Isn't this the plot at the beginning of A Chinese Ghost Story, Ning Caichen, a scholar who works and studies part-time, took the account book of Jibaozhai and came to the inn in Guobei County to collect debts.

But I didn't want to go through several twists and turns along the way, and suddenly encountered heavy rain, which led me into the mud, and stained the words on the account book into a ball of ink.

Really.

As soon as Ning Caichen opened the account book, he was dumbfounded, and the account records on it were completely blurred.

He hurriedly closed the account book, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Boss, can I take a look at your stubs, this is the new rule." ”

As in modern times, in ancient times, both parties would have account books to record the entry and exit.

So when his account books are gone, he can only collect accounts from the shopkeeper and borrow from their stubs.

But the old shopkeeper instantly saw through Ning Caichen's embarrassment, he squinted his eyes and said, "New rules? Show me the books! ”

As he spoke, he snatched the account book from Ning Caichen's hand.

"Huh? No, you can't watch it, you can't watch it! ”

Ning Caichen wanted to rob it, but the shopkeeper had already flipped through the vague account book.

"What kind of account is this?! It's pitch black and messy, how do you collect the bills? ”

Ning Caichen said embarrassedly: "The account book is wet, and if I can't receive the account, I won't have the money to go back, help." ”

The shopkeeper pulled up his waist and said confidently: "Since you don't have my account in the account book, I just don't owe you money, that is, you are blackmailing?!" Get lost! Dare to deceive Lao Tzu, don't want to live? ”

As he spoke, he pushed Ning Caichen with a palm and pushed him out of the door.

Ning Caichen stumbled, but he didn't fall down.

"Shopkeeper!"

Suddenly, Ye Tai, who had been watching the changes, spoke, and he said: "Forget it, I see that this scholar is pitiful, I guess I haven't eaten a full meal for a few days, I still have some food here, let's let him be a full ghost." ”

These words stunned everyone in the inn.

Then they all laughed out loud with strange eyes.

They all spoke:

"Yes, shopkeeper, don't be so cruel."

"If people can't collect the accounts, they have no money to go back, and if they don't have money to go back, they naturally don't have money to live in a store, and they have no money to live in a store, so they can only find a broken temple to live in, and they can find a broken temple to live in...... Ahem, I don't want you to pay anyway, this son is kind-hearted, so don't stop others from giving love~"

In this kind of period close to the border of the giant demon's territory, and also broke into the demon rebellion, if you stay in the wild without "popularity", the ending of this scholar can be imagined.

There is no living drop.

The shopkeeper also reacted, and he didn't push Ning Caichen anymore, and said with a pout: "Go, even if you meet a good person, boy, eat more, there are many dead ghosts in this world, but there are only two kinds of most comfortable deaths, full dead ghosts, merry ghosts, I hope you can bump into both." ”

"What the hell is not a ghost, I still have a child's fame, the Great Song Dynasty protects the body, what can the demons and monsters do with me, but thank you for this son."

At the end of the words, Ning Caichen came over with gratitude, sat down at Mrs. Ye's table, and said, "I really haven't eaten a full meal for several days, thank you, son." ”

As he spoke, he agreed with Mrs. Ye's eyes, and began to eat the meal.

The smiles of the diners around him grew more and more strange.

Someone asked, "Boy, this is the first time you've been back to this realm, right?" ”

Ning Caichen was eating, and muttered: "Yes, the last one who came to collect the account was hacked to death halfway." ”
