Chapter 8: Painting the Skin Demon

Before he could finish speaking, a girl who looked no more than 12.3 years old came running up.

The little girl didn't seem to have grown yet, and she didn't have the beauty of the older girls around her.

But the little girl's big eyes, laughter and small dimples are still very cute.

She opened her big eyes and looked incredulous, and pulled Song Yu's face.

"Sister, your leather is really good, whether it's painted or not, and the quality of the leather is good, did the city lord draw it for you? The skin painted by the lord of the castle is the best in the city. ”

"Hey, why didn't she give you black eyes, everyone in Tancheng must bring black eyes, my mother said that the midyear festival is the day when we draw skin demons to climb out of the ground, and we need to dress up like people, you see that the two brothers around you are dressed up very well."

After hearing the word demon, the three of them instantly changed their faces.

Seeing that this girl had no malicious intent, Song Yu calmed down her mood, and she said to the girl with a smile, "Maybe the city lord has forgotten, or you can take me to the city lord." ”

The little girl shook her head like a rattle, and I didn't know where the city lord lived, "I only know that she is the most beautiful woman in this Tanzhou, so you can find the most beautiful one in the crowd." ”

Hearing the little girl say this, Song Qi couldn't help but complain, "How can you find the most beautiful one in the pile of beauties." ”

Song Yu is also a little difficult, there is no unified standard for beauty and ugliness, how can this be found.

At this time, Li Yuanheng whispered next to Song Yu's ear, "I heard that the painted skin demons are actually not good-looking, but they are good at painting skin, so everyone is as beautiful as a fairy after painting the skin." ”

"Maybe we'll have to look for them from their skins."

After Li Yuanheng finished speaking, the little girl in front of her suddenly stared at them and let out a "giggle and giggle." ”

Her smile made the people in front of her creepy, and they instantly retreated several meters back.

She said, "The young man knows a lot, so do you want to see what kind of ugly face is hidden under the skin of the old body?" ”

As she spoke, she was about to move forward, her big eyes were a little cute just now, but now they were dark, and her face changed once with one step, which was terrifying.

There was a giggle from her mouth, and when the people around her heard it, they also began to stop their movements, and they all came around, their mouths laughing in a strange arc, and they began to giggle in the same way as this little girl, and their faces flashed, sometimes beautiful, and then ugly.

At this time, Song Qi was so frightened that his legs were almost unstable, but he still pretended to be calm and protected Song Yu behind him, and he did not forget to comfort Song Yu and said, "Yu'er, don't be afraid, my brother protects you." ”

And King Ning stood behind Song Yu and placed Song Yu between Song Qi and him.

Song Yu also put his hand on the scabbard at this time, ready to draw the knife at any time.

One by one, they were ready to fight, and as soon as the people around them came a little more, they would draw their swords and start fighting.

At this time, a hearty male voice came, "Feng'er, don't make trouble." ”

"If you make any more trouble, these kids will draw their knives."

After hearing this voice, the little girl who was called Feng'er ran to the man's side and hugged his waist tightly.

Her face was back to the cute way it had been.

She blinked at her big innocent eyes and said, "But they are human beings who have broken in, shouldn't we scare them out and throw them out?" ”

The man smiled and touched the little girl's head, and he said, "These children are not ordinary. ”

The little girl squinted her eyes and smiled, "It's all up to your husband." ”

"Husband! This man is too beastly, how old is this little girl? ”

Song Qi couldn't help but mutter.

The little girl seemed to have a clairvoyant ear, and she was a little unhappy to hear Song Qi say this, she let go of the hand holding the man, crossed her waist, and said angrily, "Why do you say that my husband is a beast." ”

"The old body has lived for more than 50,000 years, and my little husband is only over 150 years old now. If you have to do that, I'm the beast. ”

The people around laughed,

"Yes, yes, the city has lived for many, many years."

"His little Langjun is only so big."

"That's right, that's right, the city lord is a beast, cluck."

The woman who was called the city lord raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her big eyes looked a little charming at this time, she glanced at them for a while, and then stopped her gaze on Song Yu, "Say, what is the girl doing in Tancheng." ”

She plucked up the courage to ask, "Lord Castle, we have something we want to ask you. ”

The man next to the city lord smiled and said to her, It's getting late, you go to our house and say.

Then the people around them dispersed, making way for the city lord, and they walked all the way to it. It was night, a little farther away from the center of the city, and the road in front of me was a little darker and quieter, except for the occasional few birds hiding in the dark trees and letting out a screech from time to time, and the air was filled with a strange atmosphere.

After walking for a while, I came to a huge wooden house with a few large characters hanging on it, "City Lord's Mansion"

The house looked no different from the dwellings of ordinary people, but when they entered, they realized that there was something different.

When I first entered, I saw a lot of large basins soaked in some fabrics, Song Yu leaned up to take a look, this material is very different from the cloth commonly used in the world, this fabric is a few points thinner than the thinnest silk in the world, and it is visible to the naked eye soft.

Further inside, there are painted faces, with noses, eyes and mouths, but they are placed in a glass basin filled with water, and they are not good when they are laid out.

It's just that in this dark night, it looks particularly creepy.

Song Qi was frightened as soon as he entered the room, and he shouted loudly.

The city lord explained slightly, "Don't worry, this is not a human skin, it was made by my own efforts. ”

Hearing her say this, Song Qi's heart was relieved, and he felt less terrifying when he looked closely. He was a little curious, and couldn't help but take a look at it.

But before his hand could reach into the basin, the lord of the city, who was walking in front, said, "If you destroy the skin that I have worked so hard to paint, I will tear off your skin and soak it in it." ”

Song Qi was frightened and suddenly withdrew his hand, staring at the small back in front of him, he couldn't help but think in his heart, did this girl also have two eyes on her back.

Seeing Song Qi's puzzled look, Li Yuanheng explained to him again, "My master once said that the city lord of Tanzhou is the one with the strongest mana in the Painted Skin Demon, she not only paints a good hand, but also can accept all the information within a radius of ten meters, including sounds and images. On the contrary, she can also convey information to those around her. ”

The city lord who walked in front paused for a moment, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.
