"Little one, why are they bullying you?"

Chen Tangce immediately stepped forward and asked.

The little beggar looked up at him, his eyes flashing with vigilance.

Chen Tang smiled: "You don't remember me?"

The little beggar wiped his face and suddenly said, "It turned out to be you, you once gave me a coin." ”

Chen Tang turned over and dismounted, but as soon as he took a step forward, the little beggar subconsciously took a few steps back, as if he was not used to contact with strangers, and seemed to be resistant.

"Don't be nervous, I have no ill will. ”

Chen Tang said: "You're hungry, I'll take you to eat." ”

The little beggar did not move: "You don't want to deceive me." ”

Chen Tang laughed, reached out and took out a medium coin, and threw it in his hand: "What do you have to deceive." ”

The little beggar replied, "I heard that there are monsters who are born to eat the bodies of children. ”

"You think I look like a monster?"

Chen Tang smiled dumbly.

The little beggar looked up and down, then shook his head.

"That's right, let's go, I'm in for a treat. Whether to eat or not, you make your own choice. ”

Chen Tang led the horse and walked out of the alley.

The little beggar hesitated for a moment, but followed.

When he got to the street outside, Chen Tang didn't look for a restaurant or anything like that, but found a noodle stall nearby, although there was not much to eat here, but it was down-to-earth, so as not to scare the little beggar.

The owner of the noodle stall knew the ugly child, and his eyes glared.

Chen Tang raised his hand and threw out the money: "Boss, come two bowls of lo mein, add eggs and meat." ”

There was money to collect, the noodle stall owner suddenly smiled, and hurriedly greeted, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, I don't know how the little guy met the noble person and invited him to eat.

It didn't take long for two large bowls of noodles to be cooked and served steamingly. On the noodles, there is a large slice of meat, as well as fried eggs, sprinkled with green onions, etc., which are decorated with green green, which looks quite attractive.

The ugly child was already hungry, and when he saw the noodles coming, he couldn't bear it, and he didn't care about the heat, so he immediately picked up the chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.

Chen Tang was silent, waiting for him to devour a bowl of noodles, and then pushed another bowl over: "It's not enough." ”

The ugly child's eyes suddenly reddened, thought about it, and said in a low voice, "I want to save this bowl for the evening." ”

Chen Tang smiled: "It's cold at night." ”

"It's delicious even when it's cold. ”

The ugly child stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.

Chen Tang sighed: "You eat first, and I'll treat you to fresh food in the evening." ”

The ugly child hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear the food in front of him, and continued to eat in large gulps. The two large bowls of noodles fell into his stomach, and he finally burped.

"Childe, who the hell are you, and why are you inviting me to eat?"

Chen Tang said: "I want to ask you something. ”

The ugly child hurriedly said: "Childe, please ask." ”

Chen Tang took him and found a clean place to sit down, and then asked, "I entered the city that day, and you told me that there are man-eating monsters in the city, how do you know?"

Hearing this, the ugly child shrank his thin body with some fear: "I've seen it." ”

Chen Tang's eyes flashed: "Have you seen it?"

"That was a year ago, and one night I had nowhere to sleep, so I lay on a street corner. In the middle of the night, I was dazed and woke up by the noise, and saw a terrible monster crawling over the roof. The moonlight shone out of his shadow and fell on the street, long, almost covering the whole street......"

The ugly child recounted, recalling the situation at that time, and had palpitations: "I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, and when the monster left, I quickly ran away and hid." Then I heard that some people were missing in the city, and I thought they might have been eaten by the monster. ”

Chen Tang pondered the time in his heart, at that time, it was Huang Daozhi who was in charge. It stands to reason that with such a disciple of the family sitting here, the idle spirits will definitely avoid it. After all, under his subordinates, there are domestic slaves such as Master Huang. The disappearance of Bai Chong and other scholars, and the bullying of Wang Mo's wife, were all committed by Master Huang and his gang, and Huang Daozhi himself was inseparable.

Of course, the true inside story of some things has been destroyed with the fall of Huang Daozhi and his gang, and it is difficult to verify.

So, is the monster that Chou'er saw that night one of Master Huang's them?

At that moment, he asked, "Have you seen the monster clearly?"

Chou'er shook his head: "No, but I can see from the shadow on the ground that this monster is not small, and it has many hands and feet." ”

Chen Tang frowned: This kind of description is different from Master Huang. A few of them, either donkeys or fat pigs, or weasels, were all four hooves in their original form. So, there's another monster. But I don't know if I passed by by accident, or what's going on.

According to the current situation, monsters and spirits, under normal circumstances, will not be in the same place, appearing in front of people, easy to expose flaws, and suffer from encirclement and suppression.

Huang Daozhi's incarnation as an official is itself a bit shocking. Ordinary people, who would dare to think that the official man sitting in the Yamen Public Hall, under the "mirror hanging", is actually a demon?

When he entered the city and handed over to the other party, because he couldn't feel the existence of demonic energy, Chen Tang was also shocked. At first, I thought that Huang Daozhi was just an inactive official, pretending to be deaf and dumb and not dealing with accidents that occurred within his jurisdiction, or that he had some ulterior collusion with the spirits and allowed the spirits to do their ......

It wasn't until later, after several contacts, that Chen Tang further clarified the truth of the matter. It happened that Yan Huandan arrived, asked him to make a move, and killed this wingman.

Before that, Chen Tang knew that there were living dead people in Yin Si who were officials in the imperial court, and when he arrived in Nanfu County, he found that there were demons as officials, which was really bizarre and incredible.

There are evil demons in the officialdom, and it is not surprising that all kinds of ghosts and ghosts are haunted by the people.

Listening to Chou'er's description, Chen Tang naturally wanted to link the monster's behavior with several recent murders in the city. However, the ugly child is just a beggar living on the streets, and he knows a lot of things, and cannot provide other valuable information.

After asking, Chen Tang took out two coins and stuffed them to her: "This is for dinner, you have to take it, don't be seen by others, and rob it." ”

Chou'er clutched the money tightly and bowed deeply to Chen Tang: "Thank you, son, you are a good person." ”

was given a good person card by a child, Chen Tang couldn't help touching his chin and said, "Be careful yourself, if there is anything, you can go to the yamen to find me." ”

The ugly child was stunned and asked, "Son, are you on an errand in the Yamen?"

Chen Tang nodded: "Sort of." ”

The ugly child blinked: "I know......"

He turned around and spread his calves and ran away. This little guy has an instinctive fear of the land of the Yamen.

Chen Tang turned over and rode on the rouge horse, and no longer stayed, and returned to the county government with dignity.
