When the man got closer, I realized that this was an old man with gray hair.

He looked Chai Shao and me up and down, and shook his head incessantly, looking a little disappointed in us.

"Come with me." The old man said lightly, and led Chai Shao and me forward.

"Dare to ask, what do you call it?" Chai Shao asked respectfully.

The old man replied, "If only you call me old man, and that's what everyone in the bend calls me." ”

"Well, that's good, I'll call you old man." Chai Shao probably felt that this title was a bit impolite, but since the other party asked for it, Chai Shao could only call him as he wanted.

"Old man Ji, can you tell us in detail about what happened in this bend?" Chai Shao looked at the old man Ji and asked.

Old man Ji looked a little impatient, but said lightly: "According to me, you still have to return the money, now the village has invited the demon hunter of the Jingzhong Demon Slayer Pavilion, that is the master, and it is useless for you to go." ”

"The Deepavali Pavilion in Beijing?" Chai Shao and I spoke in unison, and we both looked at each other in surprise.

Looking at Chai Shao's eyes and expression, he shouldn't have known in advance that the people in Xishui Bend also invited the demon hunters from the Jingzhong Demon Slayer Pavilion to come.

I was ready to retreat immediately, in case I ran into an "acquaintance" with terrible consequences.

Maybe Nedan will fail, and our identities will be revealed.

"That, old man Ji, I want to ask, which demon hunter came to the Jingzhong Demon Slayer Pavilion?" Chai Shao was obviously not giving up, and asked again.

"One surnamed Jiang, it seems to be called Jiang Mian, and there is a girl surnamed Wang named Wang Tongxi, both of whom are young people." Old man Ji said, and his footsteps stopped.

He told us that the person who went to Anyuan Town to invite the demon hunter in Anyuan Town last day must be Shui Sheng, who is the son of their Xishui Bend patriarch, who is reckless in his work, and has some quarrels with the demon hunter surnamed Jiang.

"Jingzhong Demon Slayer Pavilion, Jiang Mian?" I condensed my eyebrows, this Jiang Mian should be the second young master of the Jiang family in Xianghuai City.

However, how could the Deepavali Pavilion accept female disciples? I made an exception before, but now the rules have changed?

"Anzhi, it's two raw melons and eggs, and they definitely don't know us." Chai Shao saw me standing still in a daze, thinking that I was still worried about being recognized, so he lowered his voice and said to me.

I came back to my senses, and looked at the old man again to confirm: "There are only two demon hunters here, right?" ”

"Well, the Jingzhong Deepavali Pavilion, that place is very dark, our patriarch gave a thousand oceans, and only two young ones came, and they didn't seem to see any way in the past two days." Old man Ji said, and looked at us again: "If they can't do it, you can't do it." ”

The meaning of these words is still to drive us away.

Chai Shao's eyes sank: "Old man Ji, it wasn't you who invited us here, even if we want to leave, we have to say a word to the other party." ”

"Yes, so be it." Old man Ji didn't want to talk nonsense with us, so he took me and Chai Shao along the lantern all the way forward, and houses appeared around us.

These houses are well located and are very magnificent.

It seems that the coachman is not wrong, the people in this stream bend are very rich.

Old man Ji led us directly to the front of a house, which was different from other houses in that there were two stone lions at the door.

Old man Ji stepped forward and tapped on the door, and shouted loudly: "Patriarch! Patriarch! ”

Although his voice was a little hoarse, his voice was very loud, and when he heard it, I felt that my ears hurt.

It wasn't long before there were footsteps and the sound of doors opening.

With a "whoosh", the wooden door was opened, and an old man with a goatee appeared in front of us.

He was still wearing a coat on his body, and he looked a little rich, and he was looking at us sleepily at the moment.

"Patriarch, these two should be demon hunters invited by the aquatic life." Old man Ji pointed to me and Chai Shao.

When the patriarch heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Isn't there already a demon hunter in the bend? What do these people ask these people to do? The patriarch was a little angry, looked at us and said, "Let's go, there are already people in charge of our brook bend." ”

"Daddy! Is the Demon Hunter here? ”

Before Chai Shao and I could speak, another voice came from the courtyard, and then a young man walked out of the courtyard.

This should be the aquatic life, he is very tall, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and when he sees us, his eyes are shining.

"Master Chai, are you here? I've been waiting for you here, quick, please come in, you're tired from the journey, right? As he spoke, he motioned for us to go in, ignoring his father, who had blackened his face.

Old man Ji brought us here, and went back to continue to guard the bend.

The aquatic took us to the main hall of the courtyard and made us tea.

His father had a gloomy face, and said directly to Shui Sheng in front of us: "I don't care where you invited the people from, let them go back, these years, the income in the village has not been as good as before, you invite these unknown people, it is in vain to waste those silver taels, this matter, the demon hunter of the Demon Deeper Pavilion will deal with it." ”

"Dad, they've been here for two days, and what have they found besides wandering around the village?" Aquatic asked rhetorically.

When the patriarch heard this, he retorted: "However, in the two days they came, there have been no more accidents in the village, which shows that the monster is afraid of those two demon hunters." ”

"Dad, this may just be a coincidence, in short, you don't care, the fees of these two demon hunters are paid by me, and I don't need to take the money in the bend." Aquatic's attitude is tough.

When the patriarch heard this, he glared at Shui Sheng fiercely: "You come out?" Isn't your money all mine? ”

"Dad, you just listen to me once, those two people are unreliable." Aquatic is very sure.

The patriarch nodded helplessly, and said in a loud voice: "That's it, that's it, it's okay to spend some ocean to buy you a lesson." ”

After speaking, he glanced at me and Chai Shao, and then turned to leave.

As soon as the patriarch left, the aquatic life apologized to us.

"Shuisheng, can you tell us more about the demon's situation?" I looked at the aquatic life, and before, I just listened to Chai Shao briefly talk about the situation.

Shui Sheng nodded hurriedly, saying that none of them had ever seen the appearance of the demon, but the husband of the third concubine who had died, as if he had vaguely seen a white shadow enter their house.

"Just seeing a white shadow, are you sure it's a monster?" I looked at the aquatic creatures, and I guessed what they were.

"Our village made a fortune by raising mussels." Shui Sheng suddenly changed his words, as if he had answered the question.
