On Hou Cailiang's face, apart from worry and panic, Fang Duan couldn't see anything else, it seemed that Hou Cailiang didn't know the inside story. Fang Du said, "I've heard of it, but the specifics are not clear. Hou Cailiang rubbed his hands and said, "About one night half a month ago, someone was robbed. I sent someone to hunt down the robbers, but I didn't expect the slain to lose his armor. Those who were lucky enough to come back alive told me that those people were not afraid of knives, guns, swords, and halberds, and even the blood shed after being injured was very small. At first, I didn't believe it, but then I encountered it myself and believed it. ”

"Oh, Mayor Hou has seen it with his own eyes?" Fang Dui desperately wanted to know everything about those monsters. Hou Cailiang said, "Isn't it, since that happened, I have set an example and personally led people to patrol day and night, but I didn't expect to really meet me!"

Coincidentally, that day, Hou Cailiang took people to wander around the street for a long time, it was getting dark, and when he was about to go drinking, someone suddenly bumped into him. The man's strength was so great that he almost knocked Hou Cailiang to his head.

I don't dare to say it elsewhere, but in Lutai Town, Hou Cailiang has always said the same. Now someone was so bold that he knocked him down, and without waiting for Hou Cailiang's orders, those dogs rushed up and surrounded the man.

Hou Cailiang said with a sad face, "At that time, how did I know how powerful that thing was, and a few people moved their fists and feet. It's not that I'm boasting, but there are a few people under me who have good kung fu. It's just that the monster didn't dodge or dodge, but stood there and let people tear and beat, and didn't fall for a long time. I found out that something was wrong, and I wanted to leave with them, but one of them was stunned and anxious, and he pulled out a knife and stabbed him. As you can imagine, the man, the man himself pulled out the knife, wiped the blood from the wound, and left!"

"What was the part of the person who was stabbed at that time?" asked Fang Du unwillingly. Hou Cailiang almost cried, "That's what I want to say, that person was stabbed in the chest, if he was human, he would have died at that time, how could he still walk away as if nothing happened?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Li Qingxue couldn't help but ask, "What is the difference between the monster that the mayor said and ordinary people?" Hou Cailiang shook his head, "I looked carefully, he has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is very tall, no different from ordinary people." Just ......"

He hesitated for a moment, and Fang Dui's eyes suddenly lit up, "Just what?" Hou Cailiang said, "That person is wearing a thin clothes, the weather is cold, and the townspeople have already changed into cotton robes. He was wearing a single coat, but his neck was tightly wrapped, and it seemed that the place was particularly afraid of the cold. ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Fang Du suddenly thought of Hu Er's headless corpse. If Hu Er's death is related to the people behind those monsters, it all makes sense. Although those monsters look no different from ordinary people, because of the different ways of dying, there must be flaws. Just like the one Hou Cailiang met, he must have had his head cut off like Hu Er. Although their heads and bodies were reconnected, flaws were still visible if they were not concealed.

"Where can I see those things?" "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Fang Dui wants to see those monsters with his own eyes. Hou Cailiang said, "Well, not necessarily, sometimes I will meet in front of the store, and sometimes I will meet you at the bottom of the slope." The people are panicking, alas, I don't know when the saint will send troops, I can't eat or sleep well all day, I don't know when it will be a head!"

Fang Du said, "Mayor Hou doesn't have to worry, let's go out and take a walk." Hou Cailiang wanted to arrange someone to protect them, Sima Lu drew his sword and played a beautiful sword flower, so he kept silent.

The wind and sand in Lutai Town during the day are still there, but fortunately, Hou Cailiang sent warm clothes to shelter from the wind, and everyone changed into them and walked on the streets of the town. There are a lot of shops here, but most of them are closed and do not do business. Mi Zhou slept in the igloo for too long, and when he came out, he was like a bird out of the cage, and this one with Huaiyue chirping was also good-looking, and that one was also fun.

Li Qingxue said, "It's almost noon, let's find a place to eat." Fang Du looked at the shops in front and behind, and only one noodle shop was open. He said, "It's cold, so why don't you go eat a bowl of noodles." Zhan Xingran said, "It's okay, if there is beef, cut it and drink it on a plate." ”

The noodle shop had a big pot, the water was boiling, and the guy greeted warmly, "Guest officer, the small shop has green onion noodles, mushroom noodles, and cabbage tofu noodles, I don't know what to order?" Zhan Xingran heard that there were only vegetarian ones here, and he didn't even see a little oil star, so he turned around and was about to leave. The guy stopped him and said, "This guest officer, these are extraordinary times, those monsters are making a lot of trouble, many shops are not open, and if you want to eat, only our noodle shop is us." ”

The guy was telling the truth, and he didn't see any other restaurants open along the way. Zhan Xingran sat down stupidly, and let Xiao Er send the noodles up and put them in front of them. More than a dozen people sat at three tables, filling the entire small noodle restaurant. At this moment, an old woman led a little girl of three or four years old, standing at the door of the noodle shop, and kept looking inside.

The old woman was about fifty years old, ragged and sad. His lips were chapped and bloody, and his face was haggard, and it seemed that he hadn't eaten for a long time. The tears under the little girl's eyes were not dry, and she murmured, "Nurse, grandmother, I am hungry." ”

Fang Du couldn't bear it, and asked the guy to serve two more bowls of noodles to the grandfather and grandson. The old woman thanked her repeatedly, but put the two bowls of noodles in front of the little girl, and watched her gobble up. Fang Duan felt distressed for a while, thinking of the scene when he was short of food and clothing, and felt the same way. He said to the old woman, "Old man, there are still noodles, you can eat them too." The old woman shook her head slightly, but did not speak. Mo Xuanji felt strange, and couldn't help but look at the old woman a few more times.

Suddenly, Mi Zhou pulled the corner of Fang Dui's clothes under the table, and quietly pointed his hand at the old woman's neck. The old woman wore a thick scarf around her neck, and when she turned her head, her neck was full of wrinkles. On the neck, a neat purple-brown scar was particularly glaring. Thinking of the old woman's refusal to eat noodles, Fang Duan suddenly had a bold guess.

The little girl was probably hungry and ate two large bowls of noodles in one go. The old woman thanked Fang Du again, then took the little girl's hand and walked out.

Without waiting for Fang Du to speak, Mi Zhou had already followed. Huaiyue asked puzzledly, "Where is Sister Mi Zhou going, why don't you take me with you?" Li Qingxue said, "Sister Mi Zhou is going to do something important, and Senior Sister Sima and I will take you around in a while, how about it?"
