Chapter 117: Red Building
It was the first time Zhuo Yu had heard of such a thing, but the strange thing was that no one had ever seen it with his own eyes.
"Today, even if the two of you are unlucky, you came to our side, it depends on your luck, if it is not good, we will not be able to save you." The young woman said.
"Thank you both for taking us in tonight." Zhuo Yu hurriedly said.
The young woman helped Zhuo Yu and Wei Chi Jin clean up the firewood room, and let the two of them stay here for the night, and then leave this place until tomorrow morning. Zhuo Yu and Wei Chi Jin thanked each other again and planned to prepare for a rest.
"What kind of beast do you think this is?" Zhuo Yu asked.
"I don't know, but at the moment, this thing is very evil, it feeds on men, and how does it capture men before they eat them without knowing it?" Yu Chijin was very curious.
When Zhuo Yu heard Wei Chi Jin's analysis, he also felt that something was very wrong. This good living person, no matter how he is captured, he has to move a little, how can he disappear like this?
Now there were only two possibilities, one was that the old woman was lying, and the other was that the beast had taken the men away by some other means.
"Either way, it seems that we have to be very vigilant tonight, and we can't get a good rest." Zhuo Yu said.
So that night, Yu Chi Jin and Zhuo Yu had been listening carefully to the movement outside the window, and no one had rested, but the strange thing was that the two of them waited for a whole night and did not encounter this beast appearing, could it be that they were really too lucky?
When the old woman got up in the morning, she was taken aback when she saw Zhuo Yu and Yu Chi Jin standing in her yard unharmed. Zhuo Yu asked at this time:
"Old woman, it seems that the man here disappeared at night?"
"It can't be said that it's night, it's that they all go out during the day and never come back." The old woman said.
"Then how do you determine that it is a man-eating beast?" Yu Chijin asked.
"The county magistrate has all gone out of the horse, and found leftover bones in the field not far away, poor my son, only twenty-five years old, just gone." As she spoke, the old woman began to cry.
"And when did men start missing here?" Yu Chijin asked.
"It's about a month or more." The old woman said.
Zhuo Yu and Yu Chi Jin have been in the cave for more than two months, and it should be a coincidence that this kind of thing happened during this time period, right?
"Did there be any sudden change in our place during the time we started missing?" Zhuo Yu asked.
"Change? It doesn't seem to be ......," the old woman said slowly.
"There are some changes, and my husband has been going out early and returning late since then." The young woman in the house came out and said.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Yu Chi Jin asked.
"In those days, somehow, he often went out, and when I asked him, he didn't say anything, but he was very angry when he stopped him." The woman said.
"When he came back in the evening, there was always some strange fragrance on his body, and I thought that he might have fallen in love with a little lady from a certain family, so I told him that it would be good if he intended to marry a concubine, as long as the other party was good."
"And after that?" Zhuo Yu couldn't help but ask.
"I thought he would be very happy to say this, but he suddenly became very angry, and then when he went out, I went with him, only to find out that he went to the green house in the town." The woman said aggrievedly.
"He didn't come back very late a few days ago, I thought he might have stayed in the Qinglou again and didn't come back, who knew that there was no news of him for many days, and when I saw him again, it was a pile of bones." The woman said.
"It seems that this Qinglou is very suspicious." Zhuo Yu said.
"Could it be that the county master didn't notice the abnormality of this green building in the first place?" Yu Chi Jin asked.
"The two of you don't know, the top brand of this Qinglou Mingcui girl is a celebrity in front of the county lord, and besides, she is just a weak woman, who would believe that she would do such a thing? What's in it for her to do this kind of thing? The woman said.
It seems that Zhuo Yu and Yu Chijin have to go to this Qinglou, no matter what, this matter must be inseparable from the Qinglou.
Zhuo Yu and Wei Chi Jin thanked the old woman's family, and then set off in the direction of the Qinglou they said.
The two of them walked all the way and found that the streets were all closed, and even if there were pedestrians on the road, everyone was in a panic and did not dare to stay outside.
There are bleak scenes everywhere along the way, but there is only one place where the lights are colorful, and it looks very lively.
"Presumably that's the Qinglou that my mother-in-law said." Zhuo Yu said.
There is almost no one on this street, and the shops are all closed, which makes this "red building" seem out of place. The red lanterns were hung high, and the red satin danced in the wind, adding a bit of a strange atmosphere to this bleak street.
Zhuo Yu and Wei Chi Jin took a few steps forward, and they smelled a very addictive fragrance, and the two of them subconsciously blocked their mouths and noses, always feeling that there must be a demon when something goes wrong. Just as Zhuo Yu and Yu Chi Jin were about to come in, a delicate woman suddenly walked out from inside.
"Do you want the two sons to come to our Hongmanlou for a glass of wine? Our wine here is very delicious, and the girls are all stunningly beautiful. The woman said.
Zhuo Yu looked at the woman, only to see that she deliberately put the clothes on her body loosely, and she wore heavy makeup, which looked very charming and seductive, coupled with this seductive fragrance, Zhuo Yu couldn't stand it, but the soul of any normal man who is estimated to be hooked is gone.
Zhuo Yu looked at Yu Chi Jin next to him, and was very surprised that his face did not change and his heart did not beat, and his face was still cold as before. Zhuo Yu smiled at Yu Chi Jin, and then said:
"Childe, I think this place is really fascinating, let's go in together, okay?"
Zhuo Yu saw the corners of Yu Chijin's mouth twitch, and then nodded. When the woman saw that the two were about to come in, she hurried in to lead the way, and went to beckon some girls to serve them.
"If I wasn't worried about your safety, I wouldn't even look at this kind of place." Yu Chi Jin whispered to Zhuo Yu when he went in.
"There are so many girls here, I'm in for a treat tonight!" Zhuo Yu smiled evilly.
Yu Chi Jin glared at Zhuo Yu and didn't say anything. After the woman entered, she beckoned several very gorgeous girls over, and everyone surrounded Zhuo Yu and Yu Chi Jin and pushed them into a room.
