After introducing themselves, the three of them chatted very happily, but the happy time on the road was short after all, and it didn't take long for the three of them to finally arrive outside Ningshi Town.

At this time, it was already evening, and when I looked into the city, except for two soldiers standing guard outside the city gate, the road was empty, and there was not a single pedestrian.

"Xuanxuan, you finally arrived at this Ningshi Town, do you have any clue about this task today?"

"You see, this time is normally the end of the day, the time when there are the most people on the street, but there is no pedestrian on the road, it seems that it is indeed a little abnormal."

"It's really not normal, but maybe this is the custom here, don't go out at night, you say yes, in this way, it's not too early, let's go find an inn to live in, and go and inquire about the situation first."

"I think Zhengshan is right, I agree, Xuanxuan, what do you think?"

"I'm okay with that."

Seeing that both of them agreed with their opinions, Li Zhengshan also drove towards the city in a carriage until he was stopped at the city gate.

And Li Zhengshan also skillfully took out a small pocket and handed it to the guards who stepped forward, and then handed the documents and task scrolls in his hands to the guards.

"This big brother, the three of us are students from the Genius Academy, and we have received a task from the mayor of your Ningshi Town, this is our ID and the scroll of the task, please take a look."

Then the guard checked the papers and scrolls in his hand, and turned back to the other guard

"Brother Wang, there is nothing wrong with the documents, do you want to take a look?"

And the guard named Brother Wang was lying in the duty room at this time, holding a book in his hand and looking at it, and he didn't raise his eyelids when he heard it.

"Xiao Zhao, you said there was nothing wrong with it, I won't look at it, let them in."

Then the guards who called Xiao Zhao handed back the documents and scrolls in their hands to Li Zhengshan, and Li Zhengshan took them and drove away in a carriage.

"Brother Wang, this is the fourth wave of people who came, it's not that nothing has been solved."

"No, I remember that it seems that only one of these four waves of people survived, right?"

"It's true that one person left alive, but he was carried away, and I don't know how many of these three people can be left."

"Whatever, it has nothing to do with our brothers, it's almost dark, close the city gate early, the haunting has been scary enough recently."

"Okay, Brother Wang!"

On the other side, the three people who finally found the inn stayed, sitting in the empty lobby of the inn at this time, the waiter in front of him finally served the last dish.

"Three distinguished guests, after the food is served to you, I will go down first, and then tell me if you need anything."

Then Li Zhengshan took out a few silver coins and handed them to the waiter in front of him, and the waiter looked at the silver coins in front of him, and his eyes were straight all of a sudden, but he just stared at the silver coins but didn't dare to accept them, swallowed his saliva and said

"This, this distinguished guest, this is too precious for me to dare to accept, you still accept it, right?"

"How much money do you get a month while working here?"

"Return, return to distinguished guests, I am three silver coins a month, and ordinary customers are just a few copper coins, and no one has ever given silver coins as a tip."

"Don't call me a distinguished guest in the future, just call me Li Gongzi, you accept the silver coin first, you answer me a few questions, if the answer is good, the gold coin in my hand is also yours."

The waiter quickly accepted Li Zhengshan's silver coin, then stared at the gold coin for a few times, and then looked at Li Zhengshan and said

"Li Gongzi, my name is Li Ergui, just call me Xiao Li, if you have any questions, just ask me, I must know everything, and I will say everything."

"Xiao Li, I think your inn should be one of the best inns in the whole town, why can't you see anyone when you order a meal?"

"Hey, Li Gongzi, you mentioned it, our Changhua Inn can be regarded as the largest inn in the entire Ningshi Town, and the taste of the hotel is also a must, even if you don't live in the store, there are many customers who come to eat in the store, if it is in the past, you can't find a seat for this point three VIPs to eat."

"Then why is it empty now, let alone people, and there is not a single ghost to be seen."

"Hey, it all started two months ago, two months ago, there was an inexplicable black smoke outside the city in broad daylight, and then several woodcutters and hunters in the city died outside the city, all of them did not have all their bodies, it seems that they died from the mouth of some kind of beast, and it happened that a school student passed by the city in those days and wanted to investigate, but they all died."

"Didn't your mayor send someone to the mountains to check it out?"

"After those students died, the mayor of the town sent someone to investigate the next day, but there was no clue, and even our government soldiers from Ningquan came once, but there was no result. Later, the mayor also entrusted several organizations to ask people to help solve this matter, but three waves of people came, and the result, hey. ”

"So have you encountered anything strange in the past two months?"

"Li Gongzi, don't say it's true, I came home from work last month, and I heard the woodcutter next door say that there was a cave halfway up the mountain that was emitting black smoke, and he just looked at it from a distance for a while, and then ran back."

"Can you take us to meet this woodcutter, then?"

"I'm afraid not, this woodcutter died last week, on the way up the mountain to chop wood."

"Why? Obviously there is such a terrible existence on the mountain, do you dare to go to the mountain to chop wood? ”

Hearing this, the waiter pinched the corners of the apron tightly with both hands, and even the back of his hand became a little pale from the exertion, and then lowered his head and sighed

"Hey, if it's not forced by life, who wants to risk their lives to chop wood?"

"Hey, let's mourn, last question, do you know where the mayor's mansion is, I want to go to the mayor to ask about the situation."

"The mayor of the town ran away early, he said that he was going to the state to find rescue, but what kind of rescue did he not come back for a month, and he didn't run away? Just these few guards, and our locals are left to fend for themselves. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhengshan flicked his thumb, and the gold coin in his hand flew towards the waiter in front of him, and the waiter quickly caught the gold coin, and instantly lost the serious expression just now, and the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears.

"You go down first, I'll come back to you if you have anything you want to ask."

Then Li Zhengshan picked up a pair of chopsticks and was about to eat, when he looked down and saw that all the dishes were clean as if they had been washed, and he couldn't even see the oil

"Are you two starving ghosts reincarnated, why do you eat so quickly, I haven't eaten a bite!"

Then Lin Xing pulled Jiang Xuanxuan, and the two stood up and prepared to slip away

"It's not because you were too involved in asking just now, so I couldn't bear to interrupt you, let's go first, you eat slowly."

Then the two left Li Zhengshan, who looked sluggish, and went back to their respective rooms.

"Oh yes, Zhengshan, I forgot to give the money, you remember to settle the meal money!"
