Section 4 Ancient Town Tricks

The first rays of sunlight crept into the tower window, and the chirping of birds crowded the woods, and the air woke up and began to become crisp and vivid.

Lin Feng stood up and stretched out, and the two talked all night unconsciously, but they didn't know if it was too excited or because of the steamed buns, both of them felt refreshed and energetic.

"Let's go!"

"Haven't washed it yet. ”

"Ye Shao, aren't you!!"

Finally waiting for Ye Shaoqi to clean up, the two walked along the stone path in front of the tower towards the woods. After walking a short distance, I heard the sound of rushing water, and the sound of the water became louder and louder, and a small river churned and chased after the two of them among the trees, water and grass. The river became wider and wider, and the field of vision became wider and wider, and the river twisted slightly, and a green and white town appeared in front of the two.

"Xishan Town!" Ye Shaoqi said to Lin Fengdao, who was studying the gilded ancient characters on the gray stone archway outside the town.

"The ancient characters are too difficult to recognize, crooked, or simplified characters. ”

"Let's learn slowly from the master, let's go find an inn first, and eat something by the way. ”

"Hehe, follow the master's orders, let's go have a big meal, the food in this world is all original, it must be very fragrant. ”

"No matter how fragrant it is, there is no steamed bun fragrance!"

The two walked towards the town while talking, and without paying attention, Lin Feng bumped into a man who walked out in a hurry. The man said sorry and hurried forward.

"Let me ask, is there an inn in your town?" Ye Shaoqi stopped the man.

"When you enter the town, you can see the inn along the main road. The man said without looking back. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Two sons, do you know where to find immortals?"

A sentence stopped the two of them. Lin Feng thought for a while and asked, "Do you have anything to do with the immortals?"

The man seemed to grasp some life-saving straw and said, "If the two sons know, please be sure to inform the villain." ”

Lin Feng said, "You tell me what is the matter first, maybe we can help." ”

The man looked at Ye Shaoqi's gorgeous clothes, sighed and said, "Don't hide it from the two sons, I came out today to find a master to go back and save our young master." ”

"What's wrong with your young master?" Lin Feng asked, "Are you sick?"

"It's a long story. The man shook his head and said: "I am the housekeeper of Dong Weng's family in the town, the main family was originally a merchant in Tongzhou City, the business is prosperous, the family is rich, but it is difficult to have no children under the knees, after seeking medical advice, the wife is middle-aged and pregnant, and then died of dystocia, fortunately, the young master survived, but he was weak and sick since he was a child. One day, the old man had to be pointed out by a master, if you want the young master to be healthy, you can move to settle in Xishan Town, the mountain in the south of the town that is surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round, was flown overnight many years ago, the mountain has aura, and it can protect the health of the water and soil. ”

"It's amazing. Lin Feng listened with relish: "And then?"

The man said, "So the master took care of the business, and moved here with the young master and a few of our domestic servants." It's strange to say, since moving here, the young master's body has really slowly improved. ”

"Isn't that great?" Lin Feng asked, "Could it be that something has happened recently?"

"Hey, yes, this town is relatively remote, usually few outsiders pass by, we have moved here for more than ten years, and the town has always been peaceful. But last month... Something strange happened last month..."The man paused.

"What's the strange thing?" Ye Shaoqi also seemed to be interested.

"A month ago, some of the chickens and ducks in the town disappeared one after another for no apparent reason, and only a pile of blood-stained feathers was found. Our old man Dong Weng's house has lost the most, and chickens and ducks are missing almost every day. The mayor of the town called everyone to discuss, and found some Taoist priests and goddesses to recite spells and talismans, until one day a group of strange people came to the town."

"Weird, what's a strange method?" Lin Feng then asked.

"They dress in strange styles, they don't look like locals, and they speak with completely different accents. They said they could help us, but they had to hand over the chickens and ducks in the town to them for a month, and then return them after a month. The group began to think that they were also liars, but when their leader saw that we hesitated, he left a lot of silver taels to pay, and if he could not return them after a month, he would compensate us with all these silver taels. ”

"It's strange indeed, it doesn't seem to be a businessman. Lin Feng muttered, "Then what's the matter with your young master?"

The man sighed again and said: "Three or four days after they left, the young master suddenly felt itchy on his body, and he went to see Lang Zhong and took medicine and still didn't see any better, but it became more and more itchy, and his body began to stink.

"Does it have anything to do with chickens and ducks?" Lin Feng said coldly. The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and said, "How does Childe know?" Lin Feng said: "I don't know, I just guessed, what happened later?"

The housekeeper said in a trembling voice: "My young master... My young master actually grew chicken feathers on his body! And the more he grew these days, the pain in his heart when he pulled it, the old man was so anxious that he had no choice, so he sent me out of the town to find a master for treatment, and if I couldn't find the master, I could find that group of weirdos. ”

After saying this, the man suddenly went up and grabbed Lin Feng's hand and said, "I see that Gongzi knows a thing or two, I hope that Gongzi will save the young master's life, and our whole family is grateful to Gongzi." After saying that, he threw himself on his knees.

Lin Feng hurriedly helped him up and said, "I said, I'm just guessing, I don't know the real reason, but we're willing to take a look, right, Ye Shao?"

"Mmmm, it should be cleaner than the guest house, right?" Ye Shaoqi looked at the housekeeper with a smile.

When the man heard this, he quickly stood up and wiped away his tears and said, "That's that, two sons, please come with me." Then he led the two into the town.

There is a big road in the middle of the town, several small streets and the main road intersect, the road surface is paved with gravel, there are houses with blue tiles and white walls on both sides, occasionally there are one or two shops and workshops, there is no noise and hawking, the whole town seems quiet and rustic.

Lin Feng and Ye Shaoqi followed the housekeeper to the front of a house, and the three-open gate was also a blue tile and white wall, but the decoration of the eaves was a little more gorgeous.

When the housekeeper introduced the two into the courtyard, someone had already reported that they knew. Turning the shadow wall, Lin Feng and Ye Shaoqi saw an old man in red standing in front of the hall at about sixty years old, with slightly white hair, holding a longevity stick, and his body was slightly blessed.

The old man first looked Lin Feng and Ye Shaoqi up and down, and then gave a salute and said, "The two sons came from afar, and they were inconvenient in their legs and feet, so they couldn't greet them from afar, I'm really sorry." ”

Lin Feng learned to return the salute and said, "Dong Weng is polite, we are also passing by here to disturb for one night." ”

Dong Weng said: "The contemptible people have also seen a lot of nobles in the city before, and now I see the heroic posture of the two sons and their extraordinary bearing, they must not be idle, please follow the contemptible people to the house to talk in detail with tea." ”

After entering the house, after greeting each other, the guests and hosts sat down, and Dong Weng instructed the housekeeper to set up a banquet to entertain them. Lin Feng hurriedly said, "Let's not be busy cooking first, let's go see Ling Lang first." Ye Shaoqi said: "If someone else has a heart, let's go after dinner..."

Lin Feng dragged Ye Shaoqi over and whispered: "We are just here to see the situation, if you eat and drink here first, if you can't be cured at that time, you won't be beaten out, it's okay for you to resist the beating, I can't afford it." ”

Ye Shaoqi grinned and said: "It's just a meal, it's a big deal, don't worry, we won't be beaten, it's just that we have just broken into the rivers and lakes, and it's ......not good to have a bad reputation."

"Ahem... Two sons. Dong Weng said: "I am really anxious about this matter, if it is convenient for the two of you, please go with the housekeeper to see the dog first, I will personally set up a banquet to prepare, whether it is successful or not, I will do my best to be the friendship of the landlord." ”

Ye Shaoqi just wanted to speak, but Lin Feng dragged him up from his seat and said, "You see how generous others are, you kid just want to eat and sleep well." After speaking, he bowed his hand to Dong Weng apologetically, and pulled Ye Shaoqi to follow the housekeeper.

After passing through several corridors to the backyard, five chic huts are the residence of Dong Chengchang, the young master of the Dong family. Walking into the bedroom, Lin Feng and Ye Shaoqi smelled a fishy smell. Dong Chengchang was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, his eyebrows were locked, and there was no reaction when he called him. Lin Feng gently pulled the quilt apart, although he was mentally prepared in advance, he still couldn't help retching.

Dong Chengchang's body was covered with clusters of yellow and white chicken feathers, and the flesh and blood under the chicken feathers were blurred, as if the skin and flesh were squeezed open, and a piece would fall off at any time, and the skin where there was no hair had begun to fester, emitting a foul smell.

Lin Feng felt that his psychological quality was okay normally, but now he didn't want to look at it at all. At this time, seeing Ye Shaoqi reaching out to pull those chicken feathers, Lin Feng was surprised: "Ye Shaoqi, your quality in heart is too good." ”

Ye Shaoqi didn't say anything, seeing Dong Chengchang moaning slightly, Ye Shaoqi clasped his middle finger and index finger in his palm, let go of his hand for a moment, gestured to Lin Feng, and the two of them exited the door and went outside.

"Do you see any doorways?" Lin Feng asked.

Ye Shaoqi said: "He was invaded by evil qi, if he continues like this, he will definitely die" Ye Shaoqi replied. "However, I can use the pulse spirit to expel the evil qi, and it is not difficult to cure it. ”

Lin Feng praised: "Impressed, Ye Shao, I didn't expect you to diagnose the pulse and see a doctor." ”

"I don't know how to see a doctor, but when I heard the housekeeper talk about it when I entered the town, I wondered if it was something else. However, it can't be too fast to expel the evil qi in his body, he is weak now and can't stand it, it will take at least three days, and..."

"And I don't know what caused it, right, cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again. Lin Feng nodded, "Do you see the reason, could it be related to the weirdos who took away the chickens and ducks?" ”

"I don't know, but one thing is certain!" Ye Shaoqi said solemnly.

"What?" Lin Feng tensed.

"It's just that we can eat and drink here. ”

Lin Feng almost vomited blood.

"Ahaha...... Just kidding" Seeing the housekeeper looking at him suspiciously, Ye Shaoqi hurriedly changed his words and said, "We must stay here to find out the culprit." ”

Lin Feng agreed: "Well, but I don't have a clue now, we still have to ask and take a look, maybe we can find some clues." ”

"Yes, then let's go to dinner first, and ask while eating. Ye Shaoqi immediately agreed.

The three of them returned to the hall again, and Dong Weng asked eagerly when they met, "How is it?"

Ye Shaoqi nodded and said, "There is still a way, I can help your son expel the evil qi and save his life, but this will be very draining of physical strength and pulse spirit..."

"Yes, yes, then there are two young men, the food has been prepared, and then let people clean the two upper rooms. When Dong Weng heard that his son was saved, he was immediately excited, and his voice changed.

Dong Weng personally led the two to the dining hall, which was full of a large table of meals. The two of them were polite and feasted, and Dong Weng and the housekeeper diligently introduced the dishes one by one. Lin Feng felt that although it was far from being as delicious as the steamed buns, the wood-fired meals were very fragrant.

Lin Feng asked the housekeeper while eating: "Do you sons usually live in that room alone?"

The housekeeper replied: "Yes, the young master likes to be quiet when he reads, so he lives alone in the courtyard over there, and there is usually only one girl to serve the living." ”。

"Have you made an enmity with anyone?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"No, no, the town is not big, everyone knows each other, and the dog is kind to people, never quarrels with people, and will not make enemies with people. Dong Weng hurriedly replied.

"Ling Lang's illness came so suddenly and strangely, it seems to be man-made, but since no one has a grudge against your family, there is no need for that group of weirdos to be so blatant and painstaking. Lin Feng habitually scrutinized.

"Lin Shao is right, let's take a look at the layout and surroundings of your house after we finish eating. Ye Shaoqi ate and drank without raising his head, and occasionally whined to make up a sentence.
