The north wind is chaotic like a knife, and the cold snow breaks people's souls.

The bustling street market is quickly emptied by the first heavy snowfall of winter, and occasionally a few pedestrians rush by.

The street lined the street with their heads shrunk listlessly, their hands in their sleeves to keep warm.

However, the business of the wineries and teahouses suddenly improved because of the sudden heavy snowfall, and the noise and cheers could be heard from afar.

Click......

A red-painted carriage approached slowly.

In the carriage, the melting warmth continues to emanate from the small stove, baking the whole carriage as warm as spring.

Shen Lian yawned, and saw that outside the shaking carriage, several children were kneading snowballs and having snowball fights, and the cheerful laughter came and went, making him grin lightly.

"Well, I can't go back. ”

Shen Lian remembered something and sighed deeply.

Seven days ago, he woke up in this world from a 7-to-9 socialist successor who was struggling to buy a house and a car in a private enterprise, and after he got drunk with a bottle of 52-degree liquor with the leader.

It is very similar to ancient times, but it is not any dynasty or region he knows, and the climate and environment are also different, winter and summer are particularly long, spring and autumn are unusually short, not to mention very different customs and habits.

The carriage came to a slow stop.

Shen Lian got out of the carriage and looked up at the ancient temple in front of him.

The rectangular plaque is horizontal overhead, and the dragon and phoenix dance are written in three strong characters: Hanyue Temple

"Young Master Shen is here! Please come inside, Prince Wang, they have been waiting for you for a long time!" a small guy greeted him with a smile.

Shen Lian nodded, shook the thick velvet coat inlaid with gold and jade, the rich boy was full of style, the paper fan brush was unfolded, the fan surface was painted with spring trees and autumn frost, the mountains and rivers were continuous, and there was an inscription with the finishing touch, showing the graceful demeanor.

He easily followed the little guy into the ancient temple.

This place has been abandoned for many years, Wang Fugui spent money to repair, the whole look is good, become its place of pleasure, three days and two ends to hold a poetry meeting, to meet friends.

In the hall where the fragrant wood burns, the firelight beats, warm, and very comfortable, making people forget that it is cold winter outside.

A young beauty in a green skirt is stroking the piano in the middle position, and the sound of the piano is quiet and lofty.

Eight tables are neatly placed on both sides, and all the people sitting are richly dressed literati sons, quietly listening to the sound of the empty valley qin, looking at the women who caress the qin with different eyes, most of them are admirers, and there are not a few who drool.

Shen Lian slammed in, glanced at the woman who stroked the qin, and was amazed.

The big fat man Wang Fugui had an obscene smile on his face, and when he suddenly saw Shen Lian, he hurriedly beckoned to him.

Shen Lian walked up to him and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this beauty?"

Wang Fugui said with a smile: "The new Oiran of the Drunken Flower Building, Li Chengcheng, spent a thousand taels to invite her." ”

Shen Lian smiled and didn't speak, but he was full of emotion in his heart.

The rich sons here are all born in the richest families in Snow Ridge City, and the Shen family where Shen Lian is located, as well as Wang Fugui's Wang family, are among the top two wealthy families, and the family wealth is still less.

The rich family background makes these sons and brothers not feel distressed for a second when they spend a lot of money.

"Rich clothes and food, noble status, and being able to invite Oiran to perform at any time, this kind of life is really corrupt. ”

Shen Lian took a sip of wine as if in a dream, wasn't this kind of luxurious life exactly what he had been pursuing in his previous life.

At the end of the song, Li Chengcheng immediately received a round of applause.

Shen Lian also applauded, and at this time, he suddenly noticed a person, only drinking quietly and not squinting, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him at all.

"Who is the person sitting next to Zhu Yu?"

Shen Lian asked Wang Fugui.

"This man is not simple, and he is not the same kind of person as us. Wang Fugui replied mysteriously.

"Why isn't it easy?"

"Do you remember the tragedy two months ago? ”

Shen Lian searched his mind carefully and suddenly remembered.

The Zhu family is a dart game, two months ago they received a large business, Zhu Yu's father personally escorted the dart, on the way to meet a terrible robber, murderous like hemp, so that the dart board suffered heavy casualties, but also lost the dart, the loss of a lot!

The Zhu family almost collapsed because of this.

"Of course I remember this, what's wrong?" Shen Lianhu glanced at Wang Fugui suspiciously.

"You don't know the other. Wang Fugui suddenly became serious, "Actually, that terrifying robber is not a human, but a ...... Youkai!"

Shen Lian's heart shook, and his face changed!

Since he came to this world, he has often heard some strange things, I don't know if it's true or not, but this time it seems that he has met a real one!

"Is there really a monster in this world?!"

Shen Lian still couldn't believe it.

"That monster is one foot tall, with a green face and fangs, tearing living people with his hands, eating raw meat and drinking human blood, a terrifying stroke. Wang Fugui said matter-of-factly.

Shen Lian was half-convinced, and deliberately sneered: "Make up, if you continue to make up stories, it's strange that I believe you." ”

"Damn, lied to you being a puppy. As if he had been wronged, Wang Fugui excitedly pointed to the stranger. "After the Zhu family had an accident, they invited him, killed the monster, and recovered the dart, so that they got through the difficulty. Zhu Yu told me this matter personally. ”

Shen Lian's eyes flashed: "Who is this person who is sacred, who can actually kill monsters?"

Zhu Yu refused to say, he didn't seem to know, he only knew that this person's name was Lin Xiuping. Wang Fugui was also curious.

At this time, someone suggested that everyone take turns to compose a poem, one poem per person, and if they can't do it, they will be punished for drinking.

Wang Fugui was the first, he happily punished himself with three cups, and after a turn, many people made poems, elegant and vulgar appreciation, and finally it was Shen Lian's turn.

He groaned slightly, and said loudly: "Green ants are newly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove." If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of it?"

This poem is very appropriate, everyone is quiet, after savoring it, all of them are praised, so wet and wet......

Even Lin Xiuping, who was ignoring everything, turned his head to look at Shen Lian and applauded.

Next, the second round of poetry composing begins.

The crowd basically can't do it, the main thing is to drink for fun, eat, drink and have fun, and that's what they play.

"Grass, how can there be mosquitoes on this cold day. Shen Lian suddenly heard Wang Fugui complaining, turned his head to look, and saw a bloody spot on his palm, which was a mosquito that had been shot to death.

In the bitter winter where did the mosquitoes come from? Shen Lian also wondered, suddenly! A terrible scream came!

The little guy who greeted him ran in from outside, and strangely, he was shrouded in a black cloud.

"Buzz ......"

The black clouds make a loud noise like mosquitoes flapping their wings.

Shen Lian looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but constrict his pupils.

That black cloud is full of mosquitoes!!

I don't know how many mosquitoes gathered into a cloud and bit wildly around the little guy.

Poor little guy fell to the ground and rolled around, screaming and screaming.

In an instant, he stopped moving, and the black cloud dispersed, revealing a skin and bone that had been sucked dry!

Everyone was horrified and gasped!

Oiran Li Chengcheng's eyes turned black and he fainted on the ground.

Shen Lian also has a numb scalp, he has never seen mosquito group activities, and he directly sucks people dry, which is too infiltrating!

"Oh no! Something happened to the Zhu family!" Lin Xiuping suddenly shouted, pulled Zhu Yu and ran outside.

Everyone didn't know if it would be dangerous to stay here, so they hurriedly followed Lin Xiuping and ran out.

I saw Lin Xiuping suddenly stop after running to the door of the ancient temple, looking up in a certain direction.

Shen Lian then stared at it, only to see a huge black cloud hovering low in the sky in the distance, and there was a faint thunderous humming noise.

"Gollum...... My dear, that black cloud can't be all mosquitoes, right?" Wang Fugui was frightened, swallowed his saliva, and exclaimed.

"It's too evil, there must be demons when it is abnormal!"

"You see, in that direction, it seems to be the Zhu family. ”

"I've long heard that the Zhu family has provoked monsters, and now something is wrong. ”

"Hey, where's Zhu Yu?"

Just when everyone stretched their necks to look at the black clouds, Lin Xiuping and Zhu Yu had already run away and went straight to the direction of Zhu's house.

"Let's go check it out, too. "Someone proposed.

"Let's go, let's see!"

There are many brave people, and everyone is not so afraid when they gather to act together, and they brave the heavy snow to chase Lin Zhu and the others.

However, when Shen Lian and the others arrived in front of the mansion of the Zhu Mansion, they found that the officials and soldiers of the Mansion had already arrived first.

Moreover, even the county magistrate and the heads of the four major families came, looking at the black clouds entrenched overhead, their expressions were solemn.

Shen Lian saw his father at a glance, Shen Wanquan.

What followed was a hellish picture, with officers and soldiers carrying out corpses one after another from Zhu's mansion and placing them in the open space in front of the door, covered with white cloth.

Shen Lian clearly saw that the deceased were all sucked dry fur and bones, exactly the same as the dead little guy.

In the Zhu Mansion, in addition to the Zhu family, there are usually many dart masters, servants, and miscellaneous servants who live permanently, and there are more than 100 people, men, women, and children, all of whom are spared, and the group is wiped out!

In the huge Zhu family, only Zhu Yu is still alive.

The world is as quiet as death, and the unspeakable panic haunts everyone's heart.

Shen Lian walked up to his father.

"Daddy......"

"Go home first, and then come back. Shen Wanquan waved his hand and only sighed heavily.

Shen Lian looked up at the sky, the black clouds were gradually dissipating, the heavy snow was even more frenzied, and the crystal snowflakes had a hint of demonic red.

"Youkai, youkai ......"

He muttered and suddenly realized that the world did not seem to be as safe as he imagined, on the contrary, it was very dangerous, even unpredictable, and good days may not be there.

Even though it is as strong as the Zhu family, it is guarded by many dart masters with outstanding martial arts, and if it is said that the group will be destroyed, the group will be destroyed.

Shen Lian took a deep breath before heading home.

It wasn't until dark that Shen Wanquan came back, looking tired.

As soon as he saw Shen Lian waiting for him, Shen Wanquan hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "There was a vicious plague in Zhufu, and the whole family died, and this matter was handled by the county commander himself, don't meddle in your affairs, understand?"

Shen Lian was speechless and said, "Malignant plague? Daddy ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Wanquan.

"Lian'er, you are seventeen this year, and it's not a matter of messing around all day, I want to send you to your uncle's place to study, what do you think?"
