Chapter Eighty-Three: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

"Wang's daughter-in-law, I'm back!" the old man shouted in a low voice into the darkness, and a weak woman's voice immediately responded, "Dad, is that you?" Ah Fu, Ah Fu, wake up, grandpa is back!"

A dim oil lamp lit up, and Chai Shien could see clearly, the floor was covered with bedding and straw, and men, women, and children had vegetables on their faces, and their eyes looked at them vacantly. The old man hurriedly took out the snacks and distributed them first to the children and then to the old man.

With food, everyone suddenly felt a little strength, and the children took small bites of sweet pastries and laughed happily. The old man pointed to the people behind him, "The food was given by these young heroes, so let's thank them with me!"

Hula, everyone knelt on the ground, saying "Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life", Yun Song and others hurriedly went to help them, "Everyone get up, hurry up, this is what we should do!"

Unfortunately, there were so few of them that the old and the adults gave their share to the children, who were only half-full. Chai Shien couldn't stand it, and said to Yun Song, "Senior Brother Yun, when we were looking for someone in the town, I saw that there was still a lot of food in the rice shop and noodle shop, so it was better for me to carry some of it, so that everyone could have a full meal!"

"I'll go with you!" Yun Song said, "and the two of them can get some more together." Ge Kunfeng, who was guarding outside, saw that there had been no movement inside for a long time, so he walked in to see what was going on inside, and happened to hear the conversation between the two. He said, "Senior Brother Yun, there are mostly old and weak people here, you better stay and take care of them, and I will go with Senior Brother Chai." There are also two junior sisters who can also help make a fire and boil water. ”

At the moment, several people acted separately, Chai Shien and Ge Kunfeng returned to Beiqing Town, looking for them door to door. Rice, flour, oil, salt, and some bacon and bacon, everything that can still be eaten, and three hemp bags were packed and transported back by Edgeworth.

"We're back!" Chai Shien and Ge Kunfeng piled things at the door of the ancestral hall and beckoned everyone to help. The women did it together, and the noodles were baked, Liao Shui and Xi Jun went to find some edible wild vegetables nearby, there were fish, meat and vegetables for a meal, everyone hadn't eaten a hot meal for a long time, it was called a gobble. A gust of wind swept away the clouds, and there was not even any soup left.

"Oh, look at us!" The old man realized that they had eaten so happily that he had forgotten that Yun Song, who was busy working for them, had not eaten a bite. Yun Song waved his hand and said, "Old man, we're not hungry, we're really not hungry!"

As soon as he finished saying this, his stomach "gurgled". The old man's face was full of shame, and he didn't know what to do. Xi Jun said, "There are still noodles here, I'll cook a few bowls of noodles to eat." The old man was a little relieved, watched them finish eating noodles, and asked cautiously, "A few young heroes, ...... you come to Beiqing Town?"

Yun Song understood what he meant, and said to the old man, "We are ordered by the master to come and eradicate the beast demon in Beiqing Town!" Hearing this, the old man knelt down with an excited "plop", "Shaoxia help, if we can get rid of the beast demon and let everyone go home to live, we will definitely set up an immortal tablet for Shaoxia and worship it every day!"

"Hurry up, please!" Yun Song said, "Demon Removal is our duty, you don't need to. He said to the old man, "Please go back to the secret room and rest, and we will take a look around." ”

Yun Song asked Xi Jun and Ge Kunfeng to stay, in case those beast demons went and returned. Together with Chai Shien and Liao Shui, he went to find the traces of the beast demon. Chai Shien said, "Senior Brother Yun, although the whereabouts of those beast demons are a mystery, they must also have a place to stay. What is certain now is that they will drag the captured people back to the Zhang family's old house to eat them. But where I went after that, I don't know. I thought, let's lure the snakes out of the hole, lure them out and then do some tricks. ”

Liao Shui nodded and said, "What Senior Brother Chai said is reasonable, but these of us have aura, as long as those beast demons get close, they will immediately notice it." She glanced at Chai Shien with a wicked smile, "However, it's not all of them, such as Senior Brother Chai!"

"Senior sister, you, you!" Chai Shien saw that Liao Shui was going to use himself as bait, thinking that he had originally proposed it, and there was nothing to say, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I will go if I go, but you and Senior Brother Yun will protect me in the dark!"

Using Chai Shien as bait, although it takes some risks, is the fastest way to find those beast demons. Yun Song thought about it carefully, and felt that if he and Liao Shui joined forces, he would have a chance of winning by eight or nine points, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, just do it, where is the place to lead the snake out of the hole hanging?"

Chai Shien said, "Didn't that uncle say that the people who left the ancestral hall and never came back all went to the town to find food, I think, those beast demons are in the town." Today, when Senior Brother Ge and I went to look for rice noodles, we also found that there seemed to be very different traces near the rice shop. I thought, why don't you just go there!"

The three of them returned to Beiqing Town again, and Chai Shien handed over the Sea-Breaking Sword to Liao Shui for safekeeping, while he messed up his hair and smeared some pot ash on his face, making him look similar to the people in the secret room of the ancestral hall. Then he sat and lay at the door of the rice shop with his hands, pretending to be weak, waiting for the beast demon to take the bait.

They waited from noon to evening, and while they were waiting, they yawned, but the beast demon still did not appear. Liao Shui couldn't help but quietly come over and ask, "Senior Brother Chai, are you pretending not to look like it, or don't look delicious, why hasn't the beast demon come yet?" Chai Shien kept a posture for a long time, his body was stiff and sore, "Senior sister, you ask me, who do I ask?" I'm not the roundworm in your beast demon's stomach, how do you know what it thinks?"

Yun Song watched the two bickering from a distance, anxious, and didn't dare to speak loudly. In a hurry, he suddenly heard a crisp silver bell. It was a unique way of communication between the disciples of the Fog Xuan Palace, the silver bell was only the size of a finger, easy to carry around, and the sound it made could only be heard by people in the Fog Xuan Palace. Ge Kunfeng and Xi Jun stayed in the ancestral hall, it must be their distress message!

"Senior Sister Liao Shui, Senior Brother Chai, let's go, there's an accident in the ancestral hall!" Yun Song took the sword into the air, Liao Shui threw the sea-breaking sword to Chai Shien, and the two followed. In an instant, the three of them could already see the whole picture of the ancestral hall in the back mountain.

They had only been gone for two or three hours, and it was in ruins. The men, women, and children in the secret room lay on the ground covered in blood, moaning incessantly. And a huge monster with green fangs and black hair was holding a little boy of six or seven years old in its mouth, and it kept roaring!
