Chapter 371: Strange Ugly Mother-in-law
"Well, I even guess that he will fight the idea of the Eight Heat Volcano, I am afraid that there is something in the volcano, which happens to be related to the treasure of Shifan Mountain, after all, the matter of Shifan Mountain is known to the people of remote villages.
"Three thousand years, what does three thousand years mean to mortals? If the rumors of three hundred years seem to be more credible, it is hard to believe that something as distant as three thousand years can be passed on to the present, if there is no strange thing in it. Luo Fan said in a deep voice.
"From this point of view, could the rumor that there are monsters in Shifan Mountain be released by Ziqingke?" An Ruyue immediately asked.
Cang Wunian nodded, "It's really possible that he released it." Perhaps he already knew what treasures were in Shenyu's tomb, and created rumors in advance that there were monsters on the mountain that would cause floods, so that the people near Shifan Mountain would either be scared away, and he could scavenge their souls openly.
In addition, this statement may also attract some talented people, but anyone who knows a little bit of this knows that where there are spirits, there must be treasures, and the greater the risk, the more benefits may be obtained. Let those men make a way for him, and he may reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
"In that case, our tasks are too heavy these days. Qing Ci leaned back on the chair with his hands on his chest, and said helplessly.
Hua Chengcheng nodded, "Yes, on the one hand, we have to get the people around there to leave as soon as possible." Although the rumors are very strong, I believe that there are still many people who are unwilling to leave the place where they grew up for generations.
"There are so many unbelievers left at the foot of the mountain, and if there is a real flood, it will not be easy. In addition, we have to see if there are really so-called 'capable people' who have come here, and if so, there are ......."
Before he could finish painting Allure's words, he stopped abruptly, because at this time, there was a lot of discussion from several men at the next table.
"Eh, you've all heard about it, in another half a month, the treasure cave in Shifan Mountain will be opened, and if you're lucky, you may be able to get something of great value, and even if you can't get it, you can make a small fortune by picking up a few things!" said a slightly chubby young man.
"I just came here when I heard about it, this Jifeng Town is not so lively on weekdays, and it is estimated that nine times out of ten it is for the treasure cave. A small, squinting young man took over.
"But I also heard that there are rumors in some places in our Changyue country that there are monsters on this Shifan Mountain, which will come out every three thousand years to make waves, and this year is the third thousand years, it seems that many people living at the foot of Shifan Mountain have moved away!" another thin middle-aged man muttered quietly.
"Someone moved away, but most of those who remained, after all, three thousand years ago, it is estimated that those who spread the rumors did not even know where their ancestral grave was three thousand years ago, how could they know that there were powerful monsters on the mountain three thousand years ago!" A middle-aged man with a strong physique and a strong voice said disdainfully.
The chubby man who was the first to speak echoed: "That's it, those people live at the foot of Shifan Mountain all the year round, and they haven't counted whether there are monsters in the mountain yet? Maybe they really found some great treasures, so someone released the word that there are monsters on the mountain, so they don't let others come to grab them." ”
The man with squinting eyes suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Eh, have you seen the three men and three women on the side?" If you want me to say, it's more likely that there is a treasure on this mountain. ”
"Hey, we little people just think about it, if we really want to go up the mountain, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to pick up the leaks. The thin middle-aged man obviously didn't have much confidence, and said with a sigh.
"Hehe......" A hoarse laugh rang out in a low voice.
The six people at the table and the four men who were discussing enthusiastically on the side looked at each other in unison, but saw that the rickety mother-in-law who had come here to serve food and wine before actually pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed mockingly as she walked over.
"Ugly old woman, what are you laughing at? If it weren't for the crowds here at night, Uncle would have thought you were a ghost!" the sturdy middle-aged man scolded with displeasure.
The mother-in-law didn't seem to mind the middle-aged man's attitude, and she laughed to herself twice and placed the wine in her hand on their table.
When she turned around, she muttered in that hoarse and strange voice: "Without two brushes, it's best not to think about making a windfall, maybe one accidentally will take a small life." Those who have the ability sit quietly, and the louder they shout, the more ugly they will die......"
"Where did the crazy woman come from, you can control a few chats with the uncle? It's really unlucky! The shopkeeper, come here!" Xu is mother-in-law's words stimulated him, and he was poured cold water before he set off, and the man actually clasped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap" as he spoke, and scolded angrily.
The stout middle-aged man was obviously not a good-natured master, it seemed that he came here to try his luck, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was an old woman who didn't seem to have good legs and feet, he would probably really do it.
The proprietress ran over in fear at this time, and said helplessly to the mother-in-law: "Ugly mother-in-law, don't put this old man aside." ”
The ugly woman snorted and walked to the back kitchen with her plate.
Seeing that the ugly mother-in-law was gone, the proprietress smiled and said to the sturdy middle-aged man: "This guest officer is angry, this ugly mother-in-law just has a bad mouth, but she has no bad intentions." Tonight, the slave family of several guest officials invited her, so she regarded the slave family as a compensation to a few people on her behalf, and several guest officials treated her as crazy and didn't want to deal with her. ”
"Hmph, uncle, I'm not a person who likes to find trouble. Boss, kindly persuade you, you want to do this business for a long time, this kind of person is unacceptable, you sympathize with her and give her food and clothing, she can destroy all your inn with just one mouth!"
"Yes, yes, the slave family must pay more attention in the future. The proprietress hurriedly answered.
Several men don't seem to be the kind of people who like to play tricks, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, this has a bit of charm The proprietress came over with a smile to say good things, and invited them to drink, if they still hold on to people, it is obviously unreasonable.
After the proprietress left, Qing Ci said in a leisurely voice: "Sure enough, there are other rumors, but they don't seem to know that it is a tomb." Oh, Treasure Cave, isn't this the biggest treasure cave in the world the Emperor's Tomb?"
"If it's really the tomb of an emperor, I'm afraid many people don't dare to go there. Luo Fan shook his head and chuckled.
"But the attitude of that ugly woman just now is really strange, how could she say such things that offend customers when she is helping in this store. An Ruyue muttered in a low voice.
"Hmm. Qing Ci nodded approvingly, "It seems that Miss Allure is the most meticulous and intuitive." The ugly mother-in-law may not be a master of disguise. ”
Luo Fan shook his head, "I can't feel it for the time being, but the scars on her body are real, and she is indeed disfigured." ”
"yes, that's why I thought she was weird. What has a woman experienced to ruin her appearance, just in the prime of life, she is hunched over like this, and her hair is gray. Hua Chengcheng nodded and said, for some reason, she just inexplicably cared a little about that ugly mother-in-law.
Cang Wunian suddenly held her hand and said in a low voice, "Painting, don't think so much." Such people are not uncommon in this world, and not everyone you are aware of. ”
Obviously, Cang Wunian saw some of the thoughts of painting Allure, but in this unfamiliar Jifeng Town, it is better to be cautious in everything.
Hua Chengcheng nodded, "I know, Brother Wunian." ”
"I think the boss and the proprietress are really kind-hearted, and they actually take in such an ugly mother-in-law who is ruined and a little scary to help here, and she is not afraid to scare the guests. Qiao Sanniang picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, as if she said something casually.
"Looking at the attitude of the proprietress in handling things, it is estimated that the ugly mother-in-law is not the first time to offend people. Luo Fan took over.
"Hey, it's a woman's mentality that will change a little after experiencing painful things, especially this kind of disfigurement, which is a fatal blow to a woman, and it's a blessing that there is no gain or loss. The shopkeeper's wife was willing to take her in, and it was indeed kind. The painting Allure sighed.
"Okay, don't think about it so much, let's rest early after eating in a while. Tomorrow we will go to the foot of Shifan Mountain to have a look. Luo Fan said lightly.
It was night, and the painting Allure slept a little dazed in his room, and I don't know if it was because he had been out and about overnight in the wilderness for the past few days, and he slept in the soft quilt at this time, but he didn't sleep well.
Vaguely she had a dream, dreaming that she had just landed on Linjie Island, and when she came to live at night, the strange laughter of Ying Ban Makeup when she first appeared and the half disfigured face wearing the mask appeared clearly in her dream.
In the dream, Shadow Half Makeup suddenly waved at her the long black whip made of the tail of the Soul Eater Beast, and just as the whip tail was about to hit her, Shadow Half Makeup's half-disfigured face suddenly turned into the appearance of the clumsy ugly mother-in-law in today's inn.
"Uh-huh......" Hua Chengcheng snorted and woke up from his dream.
When I first woke up, my mind was still a little foggy, and after a few breaths, I came to my senses and knew that I was in the wing of the inn at this time.
