Yuqing County is a good place.

As one of the gateways to the west of the river, caravans are constantly flowing, and they all like to replenish some supplies here.

This has led to the prosperity of the place.

Of course, this was years ago.

Now that the world is becoming chaotic, there are wolves outside, and there are wanderers inside, how can there be so many caravans that dare to run around.

Without a caravan, Yuqing County, which was lively in the past, would naturally be depressed.

Whether it is a tall restaurant or a roadside hawker, there is little business.

On this day, a rare traveler came.

As soon as the morning sun rose, the soldiers defending the city opened the city gate, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

The younger soldier rubbed his eyes, and was about to scold, but the veteran next to him covered his mouth.

Before the knight arrived, he threw out a pitch-black token and threw it into the soldier's arms.

The token looks ordinary, square, and has the word "Vanguard" written on the front.

The young soldier picked up the token and looked at it, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and he completely sobered up.

Immediately raised his hands and held the token.

The knight lifted the reins lightly, and the galloping old horse stopped obediently.

"Yuqing County."

The knight looked up at the name of the county, and there was some embarrassment in his eyes.

Then he didn't look at the two soldiers guarding the door, dismounted and took the token, and then led the old horse inside.

......

"This account is recorded, and it will be counted together next time I bring the money."

"Slow down, come back next time."

said that they were adults, but in fact they were just a few officials.

But in the eyes of this small stall owner selling noodles, the official is already a big man.

After sending off these servants, the smile on the stall owner's face immediately disappeared, and he hung a look of resentment.

In the past two years, it has been difficult to do business, but these "adults" will not care whether your business is good or not.

"Next time, next time, every time is next time, a bunch of goods with a thousand cuts."

The stall owner cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and kept cursing in his mouth.

Coldly, a voice came from behind the stall owner, startling him.

"Do you know how to make Okuto-cooktop?"

The stall owner regretted for a while, this damn mouth has no door, if someone hears it, tell those officials that he has no good fruit to eat.

When he turned around and looked, he was not a familiar face, so he put his mind at ease.

"That's my housekeeping ability, who in our Yuqing County can't make a bowl of Ao stove noodles? Guest, a bowl? ”

"Then have a bowl and more soup."

Xu Mo found a place to sit down, watching the stall owner's skillful movements, and a burst of memories came flooding up.

"Brother Xu, when you go back, pass by my house, please eat Ao Cooktop noodles, my mother's cooking is delicious."

"Brother Xu, let me go this time, and let me rush again."

"Brother Xu, can't we go back?"

"Brother Xu, I really want to eat another bite of the noodles made by my mother."

...

Until a shout interrupted his thoughts.

"Guest, come on."

The stall owner held a bowl of steaming noodles in front of him.

"Well, thank you."

Xu Mo gulped down the noodles and asked again.

"Uncle, do you have a servant surnamed Zhou?"

"Surname Zhou?" The stall owner suddenly became vigilant and asked, but one of the officials just now was surnamed Zhou.

"Exactly, it should be a new appointment in the past six months."

According to the merits of their pioneer battalion, in addition to a lot of pensions for those who died in battle, their families can also fill the post of local officials.

"There is a servant surnamed Zhou, but he didn't take office within half a year, he has been in office for many years."

The stall owner thought for a while and said, "There is a new appointment within half a year, but his surname is Pan." ”

Xu Mo pondered for a moment, then showed a trace of anger on his face, and suppressed his voice.

"That old man, do you know how to get to Huangyuan Village?"

"Go out of the north gate, and walk more than ten miles to arrive."

"Thank you."

......

More than ten miles is not far away, and in less than half an hour, Xu Mo came to Huangyuan Village.

This village is very ordinary.

It's as ordinary as his hometown in Diancangshan.

The village is not big, Xu Mo led the horse and walked inside, only asked two people, and accurately found Zhou Ping's home.

"That's it, do you hear the cry? It's the room where I'm crying, it's miserable. ”

The old man against the wall pointed out the way to Xu Mo, shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong with this family?"

Xu Mo asked with a frown.

"My husband died early, my eldest son joined the army and never came back, and my younger son was fascinated by a monster two days ago and ran away, leaving an old woman at home, can you not cry?"

The old man was still chattering: "Folks, it's not like we don't help, but everyone in that place really doesn't dare to go." ”

Xu Mo accurately found the key words from the old man's words.

Joined the army and didn't come back?

It's been a year since the destruction of their pioneer camp, and the robes he went to visit other soldiers who died in battle before have all been compensated in place, why is there no news yet?

Xu Mo turned his head and glanced in the direction of the county seat and sighed.

Damn it.

"Trouble the old man to tell me what the monster is all about."

Under the old man's chatter, Xu Mo finally figured it out.

This week's family is also full of disasters, and the eldest son Zhou Ping has not heard from him since he joined the army.

Last year, Zhou Fuyi, the pillar of the family, went when he couldn't afford to be sick.

A few days ago, the youngest son Zhou An brought back a beautiful woman from nowhere and said that she wanted to be his daughter-in-law.

This is a good thing, it would be good for their family to have a daughter-in-law under these conditions, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.

Just when the Wang family was preparing to marry his youngest son, he found out that the prospective daughter-in-law was a monster and a fox spirit!

How can I agree now.

But the youngest son didn't know what he had done, and the old lady who was fascinated by the fox spirit didn't admit it, and he didn't believe it when he was killed, and he was instigated to run away from home.

This time, the Wang family couldn't stand the blow, and washed his face with tears all day long.

"Actually, we all know where that monster took that kid, but we don't dare to tell her, for fear that she will do something stupid."

When Xu Mo heard this, he immediately asked.

"Trouble the old man to tell me where the vixen took Zhou Ping?"

The old man looked the tall man in front of him up and down.

"That place is dangerous, the county town has organized a few manpower before, but all of them have been folded inside, and those so-called masters, eh, have also died several times."

The old man sighed, knocked on the cigarette gun again, and looked at Xu Mo with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Then this general, do you dare to go on a trip?"

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled calmly.

I took a serious look at this old man again.

"Uncle, you are a little wrong, you are not a general."

Then the conversation changed and said heroically.

"But it's just a demon, why don't you dare?"

.......

Yuqing County Ya.

Tang Xian Ling was woken up by the sound of his master babbling before he got up.

"What's the matter that you have to say now?"

Tang Xian Ling reluctantly removed his hand from the widow next to him and got up to open the door.

"My Lord Tang, you are still asleep, that Xu Mo is here."

"Xu Mo? Which Xu Mo? ”

Tang Xianling was not yet sober, and he reacted for a while before remembering.

"Isn't he dead? Didn't they all die in the Pioneer Battalion, why did they still come? Are you sure it's him? ”

"It's true, my lord, the captain who is guarding the door today has seen Xu Mo in the army and reported it." The master paused after speaking.

"He went out of the North Gate later."

North Gate?

Tang Xianling subconsciously looked back at the widow on the bed, a little flustered.

"So, what should I do?"

The master's face showed a fierce color, and he waved his hand fiercely.

"Report it to the marshal immediately, and the marshal will not let him go."
