"Guest officer, all the old wine in my small shop is already here, you see..." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wu Ming sat on the chair, holding a teacup in his hand, looked at the large and small wine jars, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, let's settle the bill." ”

As soon as the bill was settled, all kinds of old wine were counted, but it cost more than 100 taels of silver, which was good and cheap.

Wu Ming didn't use the wine shop owner to find money, but collected dozens of jars of old wine, and kept all the remaining silver money, so that the wine shop owner could continue to collect good wine.

Leaving the wine shop, Wu Ming walked on the street and experienced the customs in Liaozhai.

I saw countless peddlers and pawns, or carrying burdens, or carts, or carrying them on their shoulders, forming the appearance of all living beings.

"Daughter, my hard-working daughter, you are just gone, but how can I live..."

On the street, countless pedestrians formed a circle, and the sound of howling and crying was heard inside.

Wu Ming stepped forward curiously, it turned out that an old woman married a daughter, but the person did not get married, and he was killed by evil ghosts on the way to greet his relatives.

"Aunt Zhang is really hard, the conditions at home are not good, and it was not easy to pull the child to grow up, but something like this happened!"

"Well, who says it's not! Counting the Zhang butcher's family in Dongzhen, the Wang Yuanwai family in Zaozhuang, and the daughter of Aunt Zhang's family, these are already three brides who have been killed. Why do you say that this ghost king is so arrogant and specifically attacks the bride, isn't this a sin? ”

"Shhhh If you want me to say, let's move as soon as possible, we can't live this day! ”

There was a discussion in the crowd, and Wu Ming, who was listening, frowned.

The ghost king nine-tailed fox killed three brides one after another, not to mention that there are no taboos.

is so crazy and unscrupulous, which shows that the strength of the nine-tailed fox is not trivial, and it doesn't care about causing chaos or public anger at all.

You know, this is a world of chatting fast, and while demons and monsters are rampant, there are not a few people with real skills.

Not to mention, on the mountain behind Jiuxiang Town, it is Yan Chixia's secluded homeless house.

If this situation continues, Yan Chixia, who has been slapped in the face, will have to endure it sooner or later.

"It's really death, who does this nine-tailed fox think she is, the Da Luo Jin Immortal of the Golden Immortal Avenue? It's so angry and resentful, even if you are more powerful than Yan Chixia, you can't play like this in a place where the bearded man sits in charge! Wu Ming shook his head and left, feeling sad for the nine-tailed fox's unwisdom.

After turning around the street twice, Wu Ming didn't find Yan Shi and them, so he went to the restaurant to wait.

It just so happened that there was an old man telling a story in the restaurant, and Wu Ming sat down and listened to a paragraph when he had nothing to do, and it turned out that the old man was telling a story many years ago.

"It is said that eighty miles west of Jiuxiang Town, there is a Hujiazhuang, and the village is full of people surnamed Hu. Sixty years ago, it happened that Hu Laoyuan in Hujiazhuang married his daughter, and he married Liu Shusheng in the county seat.

On the day of the marriage, I happened to meet a thief coming down the mountain and met the team that greeted the family. At that time, in the team to welcome relatives, in addition to Hu Jiumei, who was to be married, was Liu Shusheng, who came to greet relatives. As a result, when I met a bandit, none of the people who greeted my relatives ran away, and they were all surrounded by bandits.

At that time, the leader of the bandits spoke, and the bridegroom was to stay if he lived. If the bride wants to live, the bridegroom cannot go.

Where did Liu Shusheng see this formation, he was so frightened that he ran away, leaving only Hu Jiumei to be married.

That night, Hu Jiumei, who was left behind, hanged herself in a wedding dress. In the 60 years since then, there has been such a thing as a ghost king snatching relatives here. ”

The old man is old, and when he tells a story, he has to stop for a while to drink saliva.

Wu Ming sat on the bench and looked at each other thoughtfully.

If this story is true, the ghost king nine-tailed fox who robbed relatives may sound like Hu Jiumei.

I just don't know, sixty years have passed since this happened, how can the old man know so clearly.

"Old gentleman, do you say that this ghost king who robbed relatives is Hu Jiumei?" Wu Ming stood up and asked the old man who was telling the story.

The old man shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm not sure, in these years, everyone who has seen the ghost king has died. Who the ghost king is, I'm afraid no living person knows, and no one knows if it's Hu Jiumei. If anyone knows, the little second child also wants to ask who this ghost king is. ”

"Nobody knows, not necessarily!" Wu Ming thought of Yan Chixia, and Yan Chixia must know what Hu Jiumei looks like.

After all, Yan Chixia came to Jiuxiang Town to live in seclusion twenty years ago, and the two sides must have met each other.

The only thing that made Wu Ming a little strange was the identity of this old man, so he said, "Old man, dare to ask your surname?" ”

"Hehe, the old man's surname is Hu..."

The old man who told the story is surnamed Hu, and Hu Jiumei in the story is also surnamed Hu, which is very thought-provoking.

Wu Ming has been pondering the weakness of the Ghost King Nine-Tailed Fox.

If this storyteller is really a family with the nine-tailed fox, this is good news for him.

"Brother Wu Ming, we're back." Without waiting for Wu Ming to speak again, Yan Shi and Cui Hongjian rushed to the restaurant.

Seeing that Yan Shi and them were back, Wu Ming waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Yan Shi, do you recognize you old man?" ”

"This..."Yan Shi looked at the old man who was telling the story, nodded after thinking for a moment, and said, "Yes, the old man Hu has been telling stories nearby." Almost every year, he would go to my master, but my master didn't like him very well. ”

"That's it!"

Wu Ming thought for a moment, got up and came to Old Man Hu's side, and invited: "Old man, I'm very interested in your story, how about we go upstairs and talk in detail?" ”

"Okay, good..." Old man Hu looked very happy, and followed Wu Ming and the three of them to the second floor, without any displeasure.

Sitting in the private room on the second floor, Wu Ming ordered a few side dishes and asked Xiao Er to serve two pots of warm wine.

Subsequently, Wu Ming signaled Yan Shi and the others not to speak, and he sat next to Old Man Hu and asked cordially: "Mr. Hu, I heard Yan Shi say that you have looked for Yan Daxia many times. Dare to ask, you are from Hujiazhuang, and it is related to that Hu Jiumei? ”

"Relevant, irrelevant idlers, how can they break into this!" Old man Hu traveled north and south, knowing what Wu Ming was going to ask, and said calmly: "In the family, the old man and I are the sixth, and the one who hanged me is my eldest sister." I was looking for Yan Daxia, just to ask if this ghost king who robbed relatives was my eldest sister! ”

Although there is no door, no one is welcome.

When Wu Ming heard this, he poured a cup of tea for the old gentleman first, and then asked, "Old gentleman, what did Yan Daxia say?" ”

"Hey..."

Old man Hu sighed, shook his head and said, "Yan Daxia doesn't want to care, he just said that people and ghosts have different paths, don't have other ideas." However, since the ghost king robbed his relatives, our Hujiazhuang is also panicked, and we also want to find an answer! ”

"So, you don't know if the ghost king who robbed relatives is your sister?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen the ghost king, just counting the time, it should be my sister. Otherwise, you let me meet, and then it will be clear..."
