Chapter 82: Chrysanthemum Demon
Three days later, the old king recovered a little and met Zhang Er.
But for Zhang Er's question, what mermaid clan, and the so-called Ling Tianjun, he was confused, and he didn't know anything about it.
I don't know if it's true or fake, but a few days ago, I recognized Zhang Er as Ling Tianjun.
Thinking of wasting three days here, Zhang Er felt a little sore.
When parting, Chaoyan was a little overwhelmed, after all, she thought that Zhang Er would stay here because of her, it seemed that it was just her own delusion.
In the face of such a powerful person, how could he condescend to this small Holy Spirit Clan.
The complete map of the north is also in Zhang Er, goodbye to them, and the old king who doesn't know whether he is sober or not, Zhang Er went to the area where the mermaid clan used to be alone.
Moreover, Chao Yan also thoughtfully prepared some jade money for him to put on his body, and Zhang Er seemed to understand.
This smart woman, as if she already knew who the robber was, was a little embarrassed to put it in her pocket.
According to the map, the location of the Holy Spirit Clan is in the northwest, and the sea area of the Mermaid Clan belongs to the northeast direction, and Zhang Er's speed is not slow.
It's almost one-fifth of the way through four days, but such strenuous exercise is still relatively draining on the body.
Isn't this just finding a small town and going to rest here for the night and then study if the location is out of line?
He thought about the route and came to a barbecue shop.
The shopkeeper doesn't seem to have much to do, after all, the mountains are covered with heavy snow every day, and there are no travelers.
He just let himself have a free time and didn't let his wife scold him at home.
"Get me two baked", Zhang Er glanced at it and picked two pieces at random, after all, his mind is now on the map and the mermaid clan.
And the boss folded two for him, wrapped them in oiled paper, and said, "Five dollars"
But Zhang Er, who was thinking, heard it and asked for membership.
He thought to himself, this is another world? Do I need a membership to buy something?
"No, can't you buy it?" , Zhang Er asked tentatively.
As everyone knows, the boss looks at him, wearing clothes made of monster skins and smoking, and the skin exposed from his neck seems to have a bunch of scars, not like a good person at all.
Suddenly thinking that it might be a robber from a certain mountain, I couldn't help but get nervous.
"No, you can... Uncle, do you see enough of these..."
"Enough", Zhang Er grabbed the barbecue wrapped in oil paper, "How much?" ”
This sentence instantly surprised this honest boss, and he hurriedly said: "No money, no money!" ", said in Zhang Er's surprised eyes.
Hurriedly closed the door of the store.
"What do you mean?" , Zhang Er was stunned, can you take it directly without a member?
It's not logical...
After thinking about it again, there might be something wrong with this meat, and after smelling it, I put it at the door of the store with some unease.
Anyway, no one understood what anyone was saying.
Zhang Er found a place to rest again, and when he paid the money, he was still asking, do you need to charge members here?
The only thing that could be responded was the confused eyes of the clerk.
"Have you heard? A robber came to the town, and they all robbed the barbecue of Wang Laoer's house."
"No, I heard that a robber came and strengthened the daughter-in-law of Wang's second family, and then smashed the store, otherwise why would it still be locked up now?"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, I also heard that the robber likes young women, and as long as he sees a woman, he will attack and take them away."
"It doesn't even matter how old you are! I heard that there was an old lady who got in the afternoon."
"That's not really a thing"
"It's scary, by the way, what does he look like?"
"I heard that he was wearing a monster skin and smoked"
Everyone was talking, Zhang Er listened carefully, thinking that this robber was really not a thing, and he was also a strong daughter-in-law, but it was very strange that he was dressed almost like himself.
They both like to smoke.
"It's really not a thing", Zhang Er shook his head when he heard the voice, there are really everyone, even the old lady doesn't let go.
"Huh? What do you see him? A person turned his head and saw that Zhang Er, who was still eavesdropping, suddenly had his pupils shrinking.
The screams, the cries of the women, and the figures of the shopkeeper and the diners running out.
Zhang Er was stunned and didn't bite down the meat in his hand.
"Troublesome for a long time, what about me?"
"I didn't do it either?!"
After a while, several uniformed men rushed in, and they looked at Zhang Er, who was still eating, and frowned.
"Is that him?!"
"That's right! It's him", the shopkeeper pointed directly at Zhang Er.
"Me?"
"! You're going to have to do it! I'll start with that! Zhang Er's figure retreated, and these strong men were all holding knives, although they were not particularly strong.
But this is a misunderstanding, besides, he didn't take his own meat, he said he wanted to be a member!
A few miserable snorts, Zhang Er sat impatiently on the bodies of these people, "I said it wasn't me, and I was still fighting"
"Hit, you are moving, just stuff your head into his"
The shopkeeper knelt on the ground tremblingly, and when he saw that Zhang Er was referring to him, he was even more scared.
Lying on the ground and pleading, I even cried.
"I can't live here, damn it", Zhang Eryi thought about what it looked like now, not to mention that they might have to sneak attack themselves at night.
When he left the town, a well-known story was also told here.
A robber who likes strong women, whether young or old, will not let go, if you hear someone ask you, do you want to become a member.
Then it must be him, remember to run, otherwise he will put his head into the chrysanthemum of passers-by.
Nicknamed, Chrysanthemum Demon!
"It's really unlucky", Zhang Er walked into the wind and snow in a huff.
When I think back to what happened before, I feel that the egg hurts, what's the matter.
But the wind and snow were too big, and he couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, Zhang Er looked at the darkening sky, and couldn't help but sigh.
If you don't have a place to live, you can only see what caves and the like are nearby.
After a long time, it was completely dark.
Zhang Er came to a place that was not like a cave or a village, but more like a temple of some kind of worship.
The idol enshrined on it, which he didn't even recognize, was holding a snake and sitting on the ground and looking like a great official.
didn't care, and in the leaky room, a bonfire was lit.
"It's so cold", rubbing his hands, Zhang Er couldn't help but lean towards the bonfire again.
The temperature difference here at night is too different from that during the day, if it can reach 10 degrees during the day, it will be at least minus 30 or 40 degrees at night.
The cold air blowing out of the mouth can see a layer of ice flowers.
"I beg you!"
"Let go of me! I still have kids!! I beg you!! ”
"Let go of me!! You bastard!!! ”
"Ahh Help me!!! ”
The sound from outside made Zhang Er can't help but forget the past, and this voice was obviously the cry of a middle-aged woman.
He was still wondering what kind of person could do such a despicable thing in such a wild place at night.
As a five-good young man, Zhang Er grabbed the torch and walked to the source of the sound outside.
The scene in front of him made him sigh that he was really a second force.
It can be seen that a man, wearing a thick cotton suit, is walking this way by grabbing a wild boar, and looking at his panting appearance, it is estimated that it must have taken a lot of effort to catch this pig.
And that cry... It's this wild boar...
Zhang Er was wondering if he had heard too much about his ability, and he was too clear.
The man also saw the firelight, and hurriedly beckoned: "Brother help the handle, I'm about to lose my strength!" ”
sighed, the pig barked a little miserable, but she could understand what she said, so it was inevitable that she was a little unbearable.
But he shook his head and walked over anyway.
"Bastard!! Is there still a helper!! ”
"Isn't it!! You want two people together!! It's a shame!! There is no dignity! ”
"I can't take it!! My kids can't accept it either!! Let go of me, you two beasts!! ”
Zhang Er was so noisy that his eardrums itched, and he couldn't help but hit the knife and slashed down the back of the pig's neck.
The voice stopped abruptly, and it also made the man cast a grateful look.
After the two of them sat in the leaky room, Zhang Er figured out why this man appeared here.
"Brother, thank you, it's a bit of a struggle for me to be alone"
The man's name is No Regrets, to be honest, in Zhang Er's opinion, he is about the same size as before, he is very thin, and there are too many cotton clothes on his body, which are a little bloated.
But the simplicity in his eyes and the black horns on the top of his head made Zhang Er see that he should be a villager from a nearby tribe.
"You are also amazing, it is so cold at night, and you dare to go out to catch wild boars", Zhang Er took a bite of the cake in his hand.
Who knew that the man sighed, "No way, the weather in the north will continue to snow this month"
"Only after sunset do these beasts come out to feed"
"And I still have two people waiting to eat at home."
Zhang Er nodded, and after all, they were no different from him who used to work every day.
It's just that one relies on a knife and the other by mouth.
The days of the poor are all similar.
"Brother Zhang, are you still here so late, are you in a hurry?" , The man was a little curious, after all, people like him enjoyed Qingfu in various major clans.
How could it appear in such a backwoods.
"Well, I'm going to the beach in the northeast", Zhang Er nodded.
"Oh my God, are you hiking? It's at least a few thousand miles away from the sea in the northeast! The man was a little shocked, after all, he dared to hike such a long distance this month.
Either you're a fool or a master of a clan.
Obviously, Zhang Er is more like a master.
"It's okay, it's not too far", Zhang Er's bland reply made the man even more shocked, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Are you tired of being alive?" , Zhang Er glanced at the wild boar on the ground, and said softly unintentionally.
The man was stunned, but quickly smiled, and this smile did not show any sorrow but a touch of relief.
"If you have a home, you have a lover"
"Not tired"
Hearing this, Zhang Er slowly raised his head to look at the man's appearance and sat up.
Stretching out his hand and grabbing the void, a pot of wine was held in his hand.
This situation and this scene are not shocking to the man, and he secretly sighs at Zhang Er's miracle.
"Drink some warmth?" , This wine was given to him by Chao Die, saying that there was nothing good to sell after the apprenticeship, and he only hoped that the turbid wine could avoid the cold for the master.
