Chapter 731: Investigation
The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, we don't eat any meat here, so we only have vegetarian dishes here, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, you can make do with it." ”
Lu Yao's face suddenly became a bitter gourd face, how can this be improvised to eat, so that a person who likes to eat meat super likes to eat every meal is a vegetarian dish, and there is no meat at all, this is not the same at all, if it is said that he is tired of eating meat, then forget it, but now it is obviously not the case.
The reason why Lu Yao has been able to survive until now is entirely because he has talked to Gu Congyuan about this and that along the way, and he has thought about this meat and that meat in his imagination, so he has persevered until now, if he didn't think about these things in his mind, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to support it now.
"You don't have meat here or you can't eat meat, what if I have to eat meat?"
The shopkeeper's face was already a little ugly: "This lady, why do you have to get along with the shop?" If you really want to eat meat, or if you have to eat meat, then I recommend that you go straight to the wilderness and have meat to eat. ”
This is almost like a provocation, as soon as she wanted to break out, she was stopped by Lu Yao, in fact, the cause of this incident is to blame her, it is that she has to eat what people don't have here, so it's normal for people to be angry and anxious, there is nothing that shouldn't be.
"Well, what if I bring my own meat? Is it OK to eat? ”
The shopkeeper sighed: "Madam, don't talk about eating meat, we can't even see meat here, don't embarrass me, I really have no choice, who doesn't know that meat is delicious?" It's just that we really can't eat meat here. ”
Lu Yao originally thought that people here didn't like to eat meat, but now the shopkeeper said that the meat was delicious, so it means that this matter is not as she thought, so why don't so many people eat meat?
Gu Congyuan looked at the people on the table around him, everyone was eating very painfully, and it could be seen that he didn't really want to eat meat.
"Shopkeeper, I see that all the people here seem to be eating vegetables in pain, is there anything else going on here?"
"This lord, you are right," the shopkeeper looked at the people around him and whispered, "Actually, we used to have no meat here, almost every meal was inseparable from meat, and even the table was full of meat." ”
"It's just that a few days ago a girl went up the mountain to hunt a rabbit and came back, and then the whole family died violently, some people say that this incident is actually a coincidence, not any retribution, but many people still believe in retribution, those who do not believe in retribution, continue to hunt, but without exception all of them died violently."
"There are also rumors that this animal is spiritual, and there is still a god in the shelter, so this kind of thing happened, now we have changed the customs here, no longer eat meat, but you think about it, we used to love meat so much, and now all of a sudden all eat vegetarian dishes, almost everyone can't stand it, but even if you can't stand it, there is nothing you can do, except for eating these things, we really have nothing to do."
Gu Congyuan and Lu Yao glanced at each other, it was obvious that the two of them didn't believe this kind of ghost and god theory.
"Shopkeeper, isn't there anyone going to investigate? Maybe that's what happened? It doesn't have to be a ghost or a god. ”
"At first, we didn't believe it, and we also asked someone to investigate, but these people who came back without exception felt that they had hallucinations, saw gods, and couldn't walk any further, so this spread to the crowd, and they believed this statement more and more."
Originally, I thought that this was just a small town, but I didn't expect such a big incident to be hidden, Gu Congyuan and Lu Yao wanted to investigate.
The shopkeeper also saw what the two meant, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Master, madam, you are just passing by here, you don't have to worry about these things at all, not to mention that this thing is too evil, and if you are not careful, you may even put yourself in it, so the two of you should not do this, and pass here as soon as possible." ”
"There has long been a saying that curiosity kills cats, and if the two of you are contaminated with something unwarranted because of curiosity, it is really too pitiful."
The shopkeeper's words were very sincere, so that people could not find the slightest inappropriateness, Lu Yao smiled.
"I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I fear ghosts and gods, I think if there are really ghosts and gods, then it won't be so cruel, what about your local county order? Didn't the matter be investigated? ”
The shopkeeper shook his head: "This county order was extremely curious at the beginning, and it also sent many people to investigate the secret visit, but without exception, they returned in vain, or died violently, so now the county order does not dare to investigate this matter anymore, it is too risky." ”
In fact, this thing is just like a natural disaster, without the slightest warning, this person will have a lot of fear in his heart, and he will not dare to investigate the truth of these things.
"I don't think there is a mystery in this world that can't be solved," Lu Yao's eyes were simply glowing, originally thought that this was an ordinary business road, but he didn't expect it to be a suspenseful road, "There must be his logic behind this puzzle, only when people encounter things that they can't explain, they will all push it to ghosts and gods." ”
This is actually a line from a TV series that Lu Yao watched at the beginning, she has always liked the protagonist, but now she has the opportunity to feel his feelings, which is really a very happy thing.
Gu Congyuan shook his head with a smile: "You can really give me freshness all the time, I didn't expect you to be interested in this aspect." ”
"Sure enough, what people said is right, this woman is a book, and every time you turn a page, you will have a different feeling, and now I believe it."
"Two guest officers," the shopkeeper was anxious, "this is a very dangerous thing, the locals dare not go to find it, why do you bother?" If you hurt yourself, isn't it worth the loss? ”
Lu Yao blinked his big eyes: "Yes, if you are implicated in this matter, it will be worth the loss, but if you don't know the truth behind this matter, then it will make people feel even more uncomfortable." ”
"If you think about it in the future, you will still be curious, and even feel scared, and if you have this feeling at that time, won't it be even more worth the loss? So now, while I can figure out all these things, I have to figure them all out. ”
The shopkeeper sighed, and originally wanted to persuade him again, but after seeing Gu Congyuan's attitude towards Lu Yao, he also gave up, and the two of them understood very clearly at a glance, this man definitely listened to this woman, so since this woman has decided on this matter now, there is a high probability that there will be no change in this matter, so there is no need for him to waste any more words.
He still couldn't help but comfort: "Since the two guest officers have made up their minds, then I have no other way but to wish the two guest officers success and can investigate the truth behind this matter." ”
"If we can get to the bottom of the story and keep the people of our town from being affected, then we will be very grateful to you."
It's people, in fact, there will be a selfish side, the shopkeeper and the people in this town will have, the shopkeeper wants to investigate, but he doesn't have the guts, for fear that he will be affected, but now there are two people who are not afraid, and there are so many people who are willing to investigate this matter, so it is really beneficial and harmless.
After all, there are no cases that will be implicated in some examples now, almost all of them are who will investigate and who will suffer, and only if they say that they go to the mountains to hunt or eat meat, it will cause a tragedy of extermination, so they are actually not so afraid.
"Okay, I'll lend you good words."
After eating, Gu Congyuan, Lu Yao, as well as Xiangxiang and Hongluan all gathered in the guest room.
"Xiangxiang, Hongluan, what do you two think about this?"
Hongluan is a woman after all, and she will inevitably be a little scared after hearing these things.
"Princess, in fact, the slave maid thinks that this matter may not be as terrible as the shopkeeper said, but she can't deny that this matter is indeed quite evil, so the slave maid thinks that if she really wants to investigate this matter, she must be in good spirits, at least she can't let herself suffer."
Descending incense followed Gu Cong's foresight and knowledge, and she was not so afraid: "Just like what the princess just said, where are there so many terrible things in this world?" Basically, someone is just cheating, and just now my subordinates have asked people to investigate the list of these dead people, and I believe that there will be information soon. ”
"Is it just a list of investigations? There is also the background of this family, which must also be written clearly. ”
Lu Yao added, if it's just a family background, I'm afraid it's useless, the most important thing is to know if they have anything in common behind them, as long as they have something in common, then they have the object and goal to start with, otherwise it's all for nothing.
"Don't worry, the princess, her subordinates have already ordered it, and they will definitely find the clues directly, and they will not disappoint the princess."
Lu Yao nodded, in fact, she still believed in Xiangxiang's ability to do things, and she looked at Gu Congyuan, who had not spoken since just now.
"Cong Yuan, what do you think of this? What do you think is the story behind this? Or do you have any conjectures about this and what do you think is the cause of this? ”
