Chapter Eighty-Eight: A New Journey
The sun hung high in the sky, and the autumn wind was bleak on the earth, blowing the yellowing leaves to a distant place where they did not know where they belonged.
"Ha, the weather is really getting colder and colder, and it is estimated that it is not far from snow!" , Wang Xiaohu, who was leading the horse, stood on the official road, looked at the leaves falling from time to time and sighed, and after sighing, he continued to lead the horse forward.
Yes, Wang Xiaohu is ready to walk to the county town, and wants to experience an ordinary and quiet life on the road, and the most important thing in the innate realm is to understand the way of heaven and earth, and by the way, feel the folk customs of different places, he walks along the official road during the day, and if he can meet a village or town at night, he will go in to rest, and by the way, replenish water and drink dry food, after all, the space can not be kept fresh and insulated, if you can't touch it, you can only sleep in the wilderness.
After walking for a day, Wang Xiaohu, who felt a little bored, suddenly had his eyes lit up, and laughed: "Haha, it seems that you don't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight!" It turned out that I saw a small town not far from the official road in front of me.
After entering the town, he found that the atmosphere in the town was a little wrong, but Wang Xiaohu didn't care, and soon found an inn: "Baihe Inn", seeing the name of the inn, Wang Xiaohu guessed that this town should be called Baihe Town, because in ancient times, cities or towns were generally built according to water, and there were rich aquatic resources in the water.
"Childe, is it to eat or stay in the hotel!" Seeing someone coming in, the shopkeeper stepped forward enthusiastically and asked.
"Well, eat first, and then prepare an upper room for me!"
"Okay, guest officer, please!" After speaking, he led Wang Xiaohu to a table by the window, and after sitting down,
"What do you want to eat, the shop has Babao chicken, braised white fish...", the shopkeeper reported more than a dozen dish names.
Wang Xiaohu understood that the names of the dishes that were generally reported were all available in the inn, and most of the dishes that were not reported would not be available, so he said:
"Well, let's have a few dishes, a stack of steamed buns, a pot of wine, and a plate of peanuts!"
"Okay, wait a minute, the guest officer will be here soon!" Then he turned around and prepared to walk to the back kitchen.
Wang Xiaohu turned his head to look at the deserted street, shouted to Xiao Er, who just wanted to leave, and asked:
"Little second brother, why is the street so deserted today! I haven't seen more than one person since I came in! ”。
After listening to Wang Xiaohu's question, the little second brother's expression changed, he looked around, and then whispered: "Childe doesn't know, most of the people in the town went to catch the river girl, saying that the bride prepared for the river god escaped, everyone went to look for it, but they didn't look for anyone, and they followed to see the excitement, so the street was a little deserted, and I don't know if I found it now!" ”
"Oh, I see, I said how there are so few people in a town, thank you little brother! You go get busy first! "I gave the little second brother a few copper plates and asked him to prepare a meal for himself.
Looking at the deserted street outside, thinking of the words of the shopkeeper, Wang Xiaohu's face showed an inexplicable smile, he was just bored!
After a while, the wine and food were slowly served, Wang Xiaohu's appetite was great, and after he was full of wine and food, he went to sleep in the inn's room for a while, and when he got up, it was already slightly dark.
When he got up and came to the lobby of the inn, Wang Xiaohu, who was about to eat, found that there were more people eating in the restaurant.
Wang Xiaohu, who ordered a table of dishes, listened to other people's conversations while eating, and after a while realized that it was the escaped river girl who was caught.
"It seems that I, the demon hunter captain, has not yet taken office, and is about to start working, but who made me love peace! Hopefully you won't be disappointed this time! Then he thought of the huge amount of source points provided by the night demon last time, and hoped that there would be a lot of them this time, so he took the wine jug, walked to the table next to him and sat down, and said to the few men who were sitting and eating while discussing the incident with the river girl:
"A few big brothers, the younger brother just came to Baihe Town today, I don't know what happened to the river girls who are talking about it, can you tell the younger brother? Let me see the horizon too! After speaking, looking at several people looking at him with strange eyes, Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said:
"Of course, I've paid for tonight's meals for a few big brothers, how about it!"
Hearing that they were invited to dinner, a few people said with joy on their faces: "Haha, the little brother is a real person, let's talk to you about this river girl,"
"To say that this river girl, that is, a woman from an ordinary family, is no different from others, the only difference is that the river god must be born on the lunar day of the lunar year, so every time it comes to the day when the river god marries, some daughters of poor families are afraid of choosing themselves, so they secretly run away!"
"Oh, I see, I don't know what the origin of this so-called river god is, and he wants to marry!" Wang Xiaohu's face was full of enlightenment, and then he continued to ask,
"Hehe, we don't know who this river god is, even the entire Baihe Town doesn't know, we only know that the river god can bless us with peace on the river and not be persecuted by evil things! …”
………
Wang Xiaohu, who was lying on the bed at night, thought about the river god,
"Hmph, this so-called river god is not pretended by a person! It's just that there are monsters at work, but since it's hundreds of years old, it's more likely that it might be a monster! Let's take a look tomorrow", Wang Xiaohu, who had made a decision, sat cross-legged on the bed, running the exercises, absorbing the energy in the ominous things in his hands,
Ever since he was able to absorb the energy in an ominous item after obtaining the method of absorbing strange energy: Spirit Sucking Surgery, Wang Xiaohu felt that the speed of absorption and digestion of the system had accelerated! He felt that although he had absorbed the energy, the rules in it had not been absorbed by himself, and he thought that it should have been absorbed and digested by the system, otherwise why would the speed of absorbing energy be accelerated now, and he still had some expectations for the law of system absorption.
On the other side, in an ancestral hall in Baihe Town, there were several people around the stove, talking about the affairs of the river girl today.
"Yu Lao, the river girl has been arrested, you can rest assured!" Someone said to the old man who thought he was the oldest, with gray hair.
"Alas, another innocent life!" The old man sighed and said.
"Yu Lao, there is no way to do this! This monster loves to eat people, especially girls, and if you don't do that, the whole town of White River will suffer! The man continued to reassure.
After hearing the words, the old man seemed to think of something, and his face became a little firm:
"Well, I see, how the special sunken fish meal is prepared!"
"Yu Lao, don't worry about this, my clothes have been filled with special sunken fish powder in the river girl's clothes, and this time I will definitely make this monster sleep for five years."
"Well, that's good, it's just that the kid is suffering!" Yu Lao thought that he was going to kill a young girl, and said a little unbearably.
The other middle-aged man with a young face said hatefully:
"If the Four Seas Gang can send a supreme innate great grandmaster, they will definitely be able to get rid of this monster!"
Listening to his words, someone retorted:
"Hehe, you say pie, you send it, you think the innate great master is a cabbage, I remember that there was a captain here before! Wasn't it eaten by monsters? ”。
Then after a few more arguments, they were silent again, because this would not change the result, and they could only continue to do what they had done for hundreds of years tomorrow.
