Before I knew it, another seven days had passed.

It was still a sunny day, with a crisp autumn and a pleasant temperature.

The town of Lucerne remains as peaceful as usual.

Lance and Icke, two outsiders who lived in the town temporarily, did not disturb the simple life of the inhabitants too much, except that the tavern was closed, which annoyed some of the greedy men.

Although these two outsiders were high-ranking warrior monks, they did not have the pride of warrior monks in front of the common people.

Whenever I met the townspeople when I went out, I would greet them warmly, and sometimes I would help move something, cut down a tree, or something.

In short, after Lance's injury healed, he and Ike also got along with the townspeople.

These two young martial arts monks full of sunshine are more often like two generous boys next door, approachable.

"Hey...... Lance, Ike, are you going to the grove to practice swords?"

A sturdy middle-aged man with a hoe and a bamboo basket ready to go out to work, with a smile on his dark face, waved his hand from afar, and greeted Lance Ick warmly as he walked out of the tavern door.

"It's Uncle Singh, you're going to dig up mountain goods so early?"

Lance held the sword of Sohana in his hand and greeted the visitor warmly.

"Yes, go out early and come back early, the nearest outside is not too peaceful, if you come back late, it won't be fun to meet those monsters who come out to eat human guts after dark. ”

Uncle Singh said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

As he spoke, he had already walked past the tavern door.

"Monsters who come out at night to eat human entrails? Uncle Singh, you're really joking. ”

Ike said casually, rubbing his bare head.

Uncle Singh was a little displeased when he heard Ike's words.

He stopped and looked back at Ike, whose face was full of disbelief, frowned, and then walked quickly to Lance and Ike, he said to Ike very seriously: "Ike, your Uncle Singh didn't joke with you, let me tell you, the nearest 'Kohima City' from our place, not long ago, after dark, there were several strange things that ate human offal, hey, hey...... You don't know, the state of death...... Tut-tut...... It's miserable!"

As he spoke, Uncle Singh shook his head with a look of fear on his face, as if he had seen it at the scene.

"Huh...... Uncle Singh, we are cowardly, don't scare us. ”

After Lance's injury healed, Ike had been in a good mood, and he was now smiling and joking with Uncle Singh.

"Shhh...... You kid, why are you so skinny today?"

Uncle Singh laughed and scolded.

He cleared his throat, craned his neck and looked around for a moment, then moved closer to Lance and Ike.

Although there was no one around, Singh still subconsciously used his hand to cover his mouth and whispered, as if he was telling a big secret.

"I tell you, I really didn't lie to you about this, but my friend who was on an errand in the city guard of Cohima told me personally, and I heard him tell me that those men died in a miserable state, and their bodies were as if they had been torn apart by something, east and west, and it was simply miserable...... Without exception, their entrails were all gone. ”

This daring is also hearsay.

Maybe it's just a rumor, and it will become an incident of monsters eating human guts.

Ike laughed and wanted to say something more in disbelief, but he was about to speak when Lance quietly tugged at the corner of his shirt, and he didn't speak again.

With a surprised face and a pretended curiosity, Lance asked Uncle Singh, "Uncle Singh, Uncle Singh, can you tell us more about it?" hehe...... I know that your experience is very rich, and what your friend said must be true. Hey hey ......"

"Hey...... What's going on...... It's a long story......"

Uncle Singh put his hoe on the door of the tavern and said in a shuffling voice.

As he spoke, he licked his dry, whitish and somewhat fat lips with his tongue from time to time, and then smashed his mouth exaggeratedly a few times!

Lance understood in an instant, and turned back to the tavern very sensibly, and after a while walked out with a large glass of ale.

Uncle Singh smiled with satisfaction, it was still Lance who would come to trouble.

He took it unceremoniously, took a large gulp, and then pulled Lance and Ike to sit down on the fairly clean stone bars at the door of the tavern.

I don't know if it's because he doesn't have a sense of ritual when he stands and tells stories, or if it's really a bit long, Lance and Ike glanced at each other, and waited quietly and patiently for Uncle Singh to tell the story.

"I didn't want to talk about this at first, for fear of scaring you, but since you asked, then I'll tell you about it casually. ”

Singh took another sip of his wine glass and continued: "More than ten days ago, I went to 'Kohima City' to deliver mountain goods, and I happened to meet a friend who was on an errand in the city guard when he came back, and when I was drinking with him, he told me with a sad face about the incident of eating human guts that happened for several days in a row, and every murder happened after dark, and the people who died were all men......

Singh was in the mood for a voice to interrupt him and say, "Hey...... Don't bully Lance and Ike into being honest and trick them into drinking, you say this Pierre too, why hasn't it been open lately? It's been a long time since I've gotten a drink, come on, Singh, give me a sip, I'm a little thirsty. ”

The man was a middle-aged man of Singh's size, but with some gray hair.

So saying, he reached out and begged for the ale in Singh's hand.

He also carried a hoe and prepared to go out to work, but when he came out of the house, he saw Singh, an old shameless old man, cheating on wine here, and he was also hungry, so he was also ready to come over and be shameless.

Singh hurriedly dodged the wine glass from the outstretched hand of the visitor, and when he saw this skillful appearance, it is estimated that he usually does such a thing.

Singh said to the visitor with a disgusted face: "Bashevis, you are hungry for wine, and you say that I am bragging, believe it or not, and pull it down if you don't believe it, hurry up and do your work, beware that you won't be able to come back when it's dark." ”

"Hey...... You shameless old man, every time you come back from Kohima, you have to tell some strange things, but which one is true? Didn't you say that the old men of the 'Red Fort of Delhi' were killed by slave rebellion, and the result? And ......?"

Singh was dismantled by Bashevis like this, and his face was a little feverish.

However, he felt that his image in the hearts of Lance and Ike could be saved.
