"Melon seeds!" Li Chen said.

The whimsical shopkeeper, hearing this, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handful of melon seeds with a smile, put them in the man's hand, and did not forget to joke: "I was scared to death, I thought I was asking for silver." ”

Seeing this, Jin Xiaoxi also learned Li Chenfeng's posture, stretched out his palm, and the shopkeeper still took out a handful of melon seeds and put them in the palm of his hand as usual, but there was a lot less weight, and the angry Jin Xiaoxi was secretly stingy.

"Xiao Er, I see that not only your inn is extremely deserted, but also all the way, there are not a few people to be found, there are some doorways in this city, or is it the custom?" Fan Weisheng asked.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face turned bitter, and he had a hint of unhappiness, and said: "This master understands it, although such a strange phenomenon is well known in the city, it is not a secret. ”

"What is the reason for that?" Fan Weisheng guessed that there was a reason for the incident, and it was really something strange.

Li Chenfeng and the others are already idle, although they don't like trouble, but now is just a free time to listen to stories.

The shopkeeper spit out the melon seed skin in his mouth at will, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper from the back hall.

"I see that you are tired of living, discuss this matter loudly, and wait until you get into trouble, will you be at ease. The silvertooth shopkeeper held a large basin and scolded sternly.

The shopkeeper Nunu mouthed, simply stopped speaking, muttered and left, and continued to lean on the threshold and knock melon seeds.

The silvertooth shopkeeper put the food on the table lightly, and said with a smile: "Try the beef I made, although I don't say that there is no one in the world, I am the second in the city, and no one dares to mention the first." ”

A few people have never eaten all the way today, but now they are no longer polite, and they eat it with chopsticks, and the oily beef is just right, and it is easy to remove the bones.

When the silver tooth shopkeeper saw everyone's appearance, he was also proud, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but he was also called to stop.

"The shopkeeper, I don't know what this calamity in the city says, if you don't mind revealing it to us, it's better than the addiction, you can have a few more bowls of rice and earn you more silver. Li Chenfeng said.

The silvertooth shopkeeper wanted to refuse, but the young man's gaze gave him an order that could not be refused, and the deep-rooted misfortune was easily dismantled, and then he gave the shopkeeper who was leaning against the door and looking back.

The shopkeeper understood the meaning, straightened up and leaned against the door frame, kicked the melon seed skin on the ground out, and closed the door casually.

"Don't be nervous, don't talk about the tiger in the city, if you are heard, I am afraid you will not see the sun tomorrow. ”

Li Chenfeng could feel that the two of them in the inn had no doubts, and he didn't panic too much, turned over a cup and poured a glass of liquor for them.

The silvertooth shopkeeper is not a pretentious person, he pulled over a bench and sat down, and even the shopkeeper came to listen to the shopkeeper's story.

Wu Du said that it was such a huge city and county, not as good as the prosperous Luoyang City, but it could be regarded as very lively. Wudu is the origin of the first person in the rivers and lakes, many people in the rivers and lakes like to come the most, all the people who come and go here, the little people are seeking a teacher, so as to soar to get rid of the predicament, the average person is to see what the person's hometown is like, as for the person who is high and higher, it is to seek a disciple with excellent roots.

Although the dragon and snake are mixed, like a lively bazaar, expensive and cheap, there are all kinds of people, so the flow of people, it is naturally the scenery, but our storefronts, not to mention the daily income, can be regarded as a lot of income, considerable.

Li Chenfeng looked at the shopkeeper, looking at his current age, and even his habit of looking, I am afraid that he is also a person who has come here to seek a teacher.

"What the hell happened to make it so deserted?" said Fan Weisheng.

The silver tooth shopkeeper, after drinking a glass of liquor, also had some courage to complain, and said in a deep voice.

"A year ago, a group of three people found dead in the city, all headless corpses, and when the heads were found, they found that they were all hanging on the city wall. ”

"Originally, the death of three people didn't cause too much panic, they all thought it was a vendetta to death, this huge rivers and lakes, there is life and death, it's not an uncommon thing, especially if it doesn't matter to yourself, you don't care!"

Two days later, the same scene happened again, this time not just three, but six, all with their heads hanging from the walls. This naturally caused panic, and some powerful Jianghu people all stood up and wanted to catch their murderers and punish the evil and eliminate the traitors.

"Takeo Sipin. Li Chenfeng said.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a four-grade martial artist, is the son also a person in the rivers and lakes?" asked the silvertooth shopkeeper.

Li Chenfeng drank a glass of wine lightly and said with a slight smile.

"Sort of. ”

The silver tooth shopkeeper did not inquire deeply, and continued to speak: "After several four-grade masters stood up, it was indeed settled for a long time, until half a month later, a large group of people gathered under the city gate early in the morning, all looking at the hanging heads of the city wall, no more, no less exactly fifty, among which the noisy four-grade masters were among them. The head of the person who did so hung on the wall, and the blood-stained wall was also blood-red before, like blood oozing from the stone, and the wind blew up, and the head moved with the wind, which was too permeating. ”

"What happened?" asked Fan Weisheng.

"Some of the timid ones were so frightened that they left directly, not daring to stay here, as for the majority of those who remained, there were hidden five-grade masters who came out, and they were all backers, and at the same time, the snobbery was seriously differentiated, and there was gradually a tendency to fight.

Although there are many battles, but in the eyes of our businessmen, it does not hinder, we are not Jianghu people, naturally will not be involved in it, until half a year ago, among them, the forces headed by the five masters were slaughtered overnight, and the heads continued to hang above the city gates, I thought it was other forces to shoot, not long after the heads were taken off the next day, the leaders of other forces were cut off and hung on the city wall, so that no one could calm down, the trees fell and scattered, and many people in the rivers and lakes fled in all directions and left Wudu!"

"If the great martial capital is slaughtered like this, there will be no higher masters present?" Li Chen said.

"There is a six-rank martial artist in between, but it is the same fate. Lose one's head. The silver tooth shopkeeper said.

"So in the future, this Wudu will be sparsely populated and no one cares?" Fan Weisheng said.

"Not really. The shopkeeper said.

"How?" Fan Weisheng asked rhetorically.

"The people of the rivers and lakes are gone, but the businessmen who come and go are still the same, that Cheng wants to go a lot of merchants to transport goods to this point, the goods are always bizarre and missing, and there are even bizarre group of ghosts crying, some bold people, along the source of the sound to find, the next day is either killed, or become a fool, the mouth will only shout human head ghosts. The shopkeeper said.

"Is there really a ghost in the world?" Jin Xueya tightened her clothes and spoke.

Fan Weisheng shook his head, saying that he couldn't say clearly, especially the silver-toothed shopkeeper was even more terrified, and he didn't know what it meant.

"I don't believe in these crooked ghosts and evil gods, someone must be making trouble, a good small set of rivers and lakes, it has become so deserted, it really deserves to die. The shopkeeper said indignantly.

Li Chen looked at the shopkeeper with interest, and he didn't believe in ghosts and gods.

"You kid, you spit out wild words again, be careful that you are arrested at night, and tomorrow's head will be hung on the city wall, and you will become a part of the human head ghost!"

The shopkeeper rubbed the back of his aching head, without turning his face at all, just pouting slightly, obviously unconvinced.

"Is this boy really a man from the rivers and lakes?" the shopkeeper looked at the man in black and asked.

Li Chenfeng nodded lightly, in response.

"But why don't I think it's like it?" said the shopkeeper.

When the silver-toothed shopkeeper heard Xiao Er's words, he raised his palm and was about to fight, but Li Chenfeng raised his hand to stop him.

"What's not like it?" Li Chenfeng said.

"I've been here for more than a year, and the people in the rivers and lakes have naturally seen a lot, not to mention the appearance, at least you have to bring the weapons in your hand, where do you look like a Jianghu person with empty hands. "The shop is small and second.

When Li Chenfeng heard it, this was indeed the case.

"Then you can get something here, but now it's extremely deserted, why don't you leave this place and find another place?" Li Chenfeng asked.

The silvertooth shopkeeper accosted: "This kid eats my overlord meal, and now he is a part-time job to pay off his debts." ”

The shopkeeper scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Li Chenfeng and said, "I want to be a swordsman, so I came here!"

"Unfortunately, I'm a swordsman!" Li Chenfeng said.

"Where's your sword?" Xiao Er asked rhetorically.

"Haven't found it yet!"
