Chapter 579: Strange News in Stone Town
"What is there to see the monkey, it is better to care about what to eat tonight!"
“...... For the teacher to remember the last time I came to Jishi Town, your fellow countryman held a banquet at home, a large piece of mutton, for the teacher now think about it and some want to eat. ”
"By the way, you eight juniors may not know that the meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the fat is fragrant, and the lamb fat is just right. ”
In the open bookshelf, the toad Taoist drooped his two legs, and the frog webbed to talk about the Northwest food to the eight people outside, chattering non-stop on the way from going down the mountain to Jishi Town.
Ling Qingfeng covered his ears and chanted with a small mouth: "Don't listen, don't listen, toad chanting." ”
The brass bells in front of you jingle and twinkle.
The orange glow sprinkled into the distance, and the outline of a small town could be vaguely seen, Lu Liangsheng looked at the map engraved paper in his hand, it should be Jishi Town in front, he was once two years ago, close to the town, there were more and more pedestrians, and he lowered his voice and turned back.
"Master, don't talk for the time being, so as not to frighten others, the town is about to begin, and we will stay at the inn later, and we will eat first." ”
Over there, the chattering words were interrupted, and the toad Taoist got up and stretched out his head to look ahead, and consciously closed the small door with a 'bang', and the voice came from inside: "When it's time to eat, I'll call you a teacher!"
Hearing the meal, Lu Pan's eight people had already 'cooed' in their stomachs, and excitedly followed their nephew into the intersection of the town, the air was dry and smelly, there were few pedestrians on the long street, flies and insects were buzzing around, walking through the streets, most of the people they occasionally met looked hurried, and there were also vendors who were laying wooden planks and preparing to close their homes.
"Liangsheng, there's an inn over there!" Lu Pan saw the flag with white characters on a blue background floating in front of him, and flicked the knife on his waist, "Hey, why is the door closed!"
Under the fluttering flag, the Hu man who wrapped the white scarf saw a group of people coming over on the street, and the wooden planks that were brought were quickly built to the door of the store, and the last piece was about to be embedded in the threshold, a big hand pressed on it, and suddenly with force, the guy inside "Ouch!" cried out, and pressed the wooden plank to the ground together, falling on all sides.
There were still guests who stayed in the store to eat, and when they heard the movement, they frowned, and when they got up, they saw a few stout men squeezing into the store, one by one with their chests and stomachs open, carrying weapons, and continued to talk with their companions with a calm expression, and sat back.
"Uncle Pan, what's the matter?"
Lu Liangsheng's words came from outside, and Lu Pan hurriedly shouted: "It's okay, this guy is unstable on his feet and has fallen." ”
Afraid that his nephew would blame him, he hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the guy on the ground in the air with one hand, put it on the ground again, and patted his clothes for him.
"I said what door are you closing, it's like seeing a ghost, we came to stay in the hotel, and we didn't go into the city. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
The guy's eyes swept over the chests of several big men who came in, watched the pectoral muscles beating from side to side, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded again and again, and invited them in, without saying a word about the abnormality just now.
"It's a small clumsiness, don't be angry with a few guest officers, please please inside. ”
Lu Liangsheng also walked in, gave this guy two copper coins, and asked the other party to help lead the old donkey to the backyard to feed some forage, the inn in the town is not big, the bottom and the top are transparent, the second and third floors are around, and the highest dome can be seen from the hall at a glance.
Lu Panba, who was sitting at a table over there, had already called another guy to come over and order, Lu Liangsheng took Qingfeng and sat at a table next to him, the villain was well-behaved and clever, took the chopstick cage, and respectfully put it on the master first, and then sat on the bench, hanging a pair of small feet and whispered: "Master, this town is a little weird." ”
"Hmm. ”
Lu Liangsheng didn't have much other look on his face, just sat there quietly with his hands on his lap, he came here two years ago, the long street was noisy and bustling, even at night, there were a lot of pedestrians, how long did it take to become like this?
After ordering the name of the dish, the inn quieted down, and there were also squirming diners around who whispered lightly, after entering the divine realm, the scholar's senses were very keen, there were many merchants on the first floor of the inn to eat, and they said something they had seen and heard, and the slight voice of the other party could not escape Lu Liangsheng's ears at all.
“...... It's a strange town. ”
"When I walked here last month, it wasn't like this. ”
"I heard that there was a monster in the town, I came this morning, and I wanted to delay for a day or two, so I stayed first, wandered outside, and listened to people nearby, two families had died, and the blood was sucked clean. ”
"How long?"
"In just two or three days, the squire in the town has sent someone to Hezhou to report to the official, and I don't know if he will come back. ”
"I think it's mysterious...... Early tomorrow morning, it's better to leave as soon as possible, it's important to make money. ”
Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting there, listened to the news from the surrounding vendors, and pieced together an approximate idea that two families had died in two days in a row, almost six people, and if they had a disease, they would not have died so violently, and it was really possible that they were monsters.
Between these two days...... Could it be related to Gongsun Fang summoning a group of demons?
"The demon king summoned a group of demons, and inevitably some cannibalistic monsters came out. In the scholar's sleeve, the toad Taoist circled the city, half-squinting, and didn't pay attention to what happened in this town, "If you want to take care of it, it's useless to persuade the teacher anyway." ”
"Since you are passing by, you naturally have to take care of it...... Hmm, Master, you can hear the diners talking too?"
The shopkeeper brought the dishes to the table, Lu Liangsheng tore a piece of roasted lamb chops with chopsticks, shook it gently before handing it to his sleeve, and dragged a long scarlet tongue through the diced meat into his mouth. ”
"Master is serious, what is Gongsun Fang going to do when he gathers the demons?"
Lu Liangsheng pinched the chopsticks and stared at the dishes on the table motionlessly, the chopsticks were hanging in his hands, and he took a mouthful of the dishes and ate them at will, and the toad in his sleeve snorted.
"How do you know as a teacher...... Hey, no, when did the teacher not be serious? It's really repaired the demon pill, why don't you believe it one by one?"
As if he hadn't heard the words of the toad, Lu Liangsheng suddenly snapped and slapped the chopsticks on the table, so frightened that he almost stood up to the bench holding a lamb rib on the side.
The eight people at the back table also stopped shouting and urging wine, and looked at each other in unison.
"Liangsheng, what's the matter?"
"I'll go out for a trip, and after the eight uncles have eaten, open a few rooms and rest first, so you don't have to wait for me. Lu Liangsheng looked at the breeze, "You are the same." ”
After speaking, he took a piece of mutton bone, got up and pushed the door out, the sky had darkened, Lu Liangsheng handed the mutton bone to the master who climbed on his shoulder, and walked along this long street, the road surface was paved with bluestone slabs, and in the dead and silent town, the sound of hard-bottomed footsteps stepping on it was a little weird.
Wangwang~~
In the night, dogs barked from time to time.
