Chapter 36: Eating carrion
"Outside the forester, I'm really sorry last night, because that bald donkey drank a lot of good wine from you on a whim, please forgive me. β
Near noon, after lunch, the Taoist priest took Zhang Zhu to visit Lin Buren.
It's not that I'm getting up late, but in order to correspond to the six jars of wine, and at the same time, I try to maintain the casual virtue of the fish and meat official, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other party.
"Lord Lin, where are you talking about this?"
"You have come far to Xialin Village to kill demons and demons for Xialin Village, and it is too late for Buren to be grateful, how dare you have the heart to blame? β
Lin Buren led the Taoist priest to the living room, and after the guest sat down, the Taoist priest took a sip of tea and sighed, "I'm ashamed to say it, on the first night I came to Xia Lin Village, I drank and made a mistake, but fortunately, Aunt Hu didn't show up last night, otherwise it would be troublesome." β
"Lord Lin, where is this? Eating and drinking are what people need, blame me, blame me for this. β
"I was also thinking about washing the dust for the adults last night, but I had something to deal with temporarily, so I didn't go to accompany the wine, and I ask the adults to forgive me. β
"In addition, the lord is famous, and the tiger aunt thought that she heard the reputation of the adult, so she hid and did not dare to appear, but she did not miss anything. β
"Oh, my reputation has spread to Xialin Village?"
The Taoist priest's eyebrows raised, and he looked extremely surprised, "Tell me about my reputation here in Xialin Village, how did my reputation spread?"
οΌοΌοΌ
Just a few polite words, why are you still gasping?
How did you raise it, how do I know?
Lin Buren's face was as usual, "Lord Lin deals with all kinds of tricks, his reputation is extremely famous, and everyone knows and passes on in Longwei County, and he is the first person under Li Dazai, and he will take over the position of Dazai in a few days and become the patron saint of our Longwei County." β
Therefore, this time Lord Lin came to Xialin Village, and the villagers put their hearts in their stomachs, presumably it will not be long before they can get rid of the evil spirits and restore the prosperity of Xialin Village. β
It's all clichΓ©s, but he is eloquent and quick-witted, and if Lin Buren's crime hadn't been confirmed, the Taoist priest might have been a little happy to hear it.
But now, he just wants the demon in front of him to get the retribution he deserves, and at the same time save the children who don't know where they have been transferred.
"The forester has a reputation, how can I be virtuous?"
"But speaking of Aunt Tiger, the children outside the forester ......"
The Taoist priest reminded, and then carefully observed Lin Buren's expression, only to see that the other party's expression was stiff at first, and then his teeth were clenched, "Lord Lin just do his best, Buren understands that it has been more than a few days since the incident, and it is unlikely that Changyi will survive, but ......"
"Regardless of life or death, Buren has nothing else to ask for, only to ask for adults to get rid of this tiger aunt, which can be regarded as benefiting Xialin Village!"
Lin Changyi is Lin Buren's kidnapped child, this name is exquisite, benevolent and righteous, but Lin Buren's generation is not good, and the cloth character is just not benevolent.
This Lin Buren's performance is also appropriate, a well-founded outsider, when facing the county officials, even if the child's life and death are unknown, he still endures his grief.
It's really a good gang leader.
"Is Lin Changyi in danger, I'm afraid you know much better than me, if it is really your father's demonization, even the villagers will not harm their lives, but will also hurt their own grandson?"
"Well, I'm here to get rid of demons, and I won't let the villagers of Xialin worry and be afraid, and lose my reputation. β
The Taoist priest's chest crackled, and then the conversation turned, "By the way, I heard that Old Lady Lin has passed away?"
"Yes, my father passed after a year, and his body was quite tough, but for some reason, he suddenly ......"
Lin Buren became sad and wiped away his tears, "I don't know why Lord Lin asked this, could it be that my father's death is related to this case?"
The transition is extremely natural, but I must have doubts in my heart, and sure enough, the old rivers and lakes are over.
"Alas, I don't know how to get to you about it. The Taoist priest's expression was a little embarrassed, and his eyes flickered.
Lin Buren's expression was still the same, but he was silent for a moment, "My lord, it's okay to say, Buren listens." β
"Well, this may sound a bit cruel, but I want to tell you anyway. β
The Taoist priest sighed in vain, feeling helpless that he couldn't bear to tell, "Buren, Aunt Hu has only kidnapped Changyi so far?"
Why is it still called?
Lin Buren chuckled in his heart, but he didn't think about this question for too long, so he replied directly, "Yes." β
"And do you know why?"
"Buren doesn't know. β
"Alas......"
The Taoist priest sighed again, "Do you know that Aunt Tiger is transformed by the tiger spirit, but because the transformation is incomplete, she must eat the boy to refine the demon qi, in order to seek the final transformation." β
Lin Buren nodded, Aunt Hu's strange talk is very widespread, and he also grew up listening to it, but it is a little contrary to this incident.
Hearing what the Taoist priest said, he only knew about Aunt Hu, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but it was a little weird, and he didn't know what the priest wanted to say.
"But do you know what Aunt Tiger will feed on when she is hungry if there are no children?"
When Aunt Tiger is hungry, what does she feed on?
This sentence suddenly reminded Lin Buren, if this tiger aunt is hungry, will she be hungry?
No, no, tiger poison does not eat seeds......
Lin Buren became irritable inexplicably, but he still hid the past very well, "Please let me know." β
"Rotten food!" the Taoist priest's eyes shimmered.
"Rotten food?"
Lin Buren was slightly stunned, and a desolation inexplicably surged into his heart, "What do you mean, corpses?"
The Taoist priest nodded.
Lin Buren's heart was a little complicated, but when he looked at the gaze of the Taoist priest, he suddenly felt that his expression was wrong, and he hurriedly became eager, as if he suddenly realized, "My lord, what do you mean, Changyi him...... Changyi He ......"
If you are hungry, you will be eaten, whether you live or die.
At this time, Lin Changyi was in the hands of Aunt Hu, and Lin Buren had to show a sharp panic.
"Don't be afraid, I didn't mean that. β
The Taoist priest shook his head, and Lin Buren showed a 'desire for surprise' when he saw this, but the next sentence made his expression stop instantly, "I mean, Aunt Tiger will eat carrion when she is hungry. But if it eats carrion, it will remember the soul breath of carrion. β
"And now in Xialin Village, only Changyi has been taken captive, if there is no accident, the body of Old Lady Lin ......"
Old lady Lin's body was eaten, so Aunt Hu found Lin Changyi and kidnapped him?
Lin Buren glanced at the Taoist priest thoughtfully, and then looked at Zhang Zhukuai, he knew that this was not the case, but at this time, the Taoist priest's statement made him unable to refute.
Is it possible that the words of the Calamity Division are fake?
But if they don't refute it, can they really find out about their father's head?
Left and right for men, Lin Buren closed his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, "This is absolutely impossible!"
