Chapter 52: Man-Eating Monster (1)

......

In the end, Fu Chu still followed Chu Duan and Chu Qize down the mountain together.

Everything is good on the mountain, but after all, it is still not as good as the mountain - this is the first feeling after Fuchu goes down the mountain.

The first time I didn't have to be so secretive to get in touch with these fireworks in the world, it was so beautiful for Fu Chu.

Soon after arriving at the bottom of the mountain, it was late afternoon. Strangely, today's mountain is not the same as usual.

There was no one on the road, and even the inn was closed. The weather hasn't warmed up yet, so it seems to be even more bleak.

"Why is it different from before?" Finally, Fu Chu couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chu Duan also noticed such an abnormality, he looked around, and couldn't help frowning.

Not long after Fu Chu's words fell, he saw a girl hurrying home.

Chu Qize felt that something was wrong, so he blocked the girl's way.

After the girl saw Chu Qize blocking in front of her, she subconsciously raised her eyes.

The girl's eyebrows were clear, and she stared at Chu Qize for a while before she spoke, "Is there something wrong with the son?"

"It's not dark tomorrow, why is there no one on the road?" After Chu Qize finished asking, he subconsciously raised his eyes and looked around - this is too strange.

After Chu Qize finished asking, the girl couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after a while, she leaned towards Chu Qize and said softly: "I think Gongzi, you are a foreigner, right?"

Stranger...... It doesn't seem to be able to talk about it.

Fu Chu saw that the girl finished asking, and subconsciously wanted to answer: "We are ......"

However, before the words were finished, Chu Duan grabbed Fu Chu's wrist, as if to stop Fu Chu: "Yes." ”

As soon as Chu Duan said this, the girl's gaze moved to him again.

The girl paused for a while, and then sighed: "I know that you are strangers......

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at the sky, and in the next second, her expression became more serious: "It's not early, I advise you to find a place to live as soon as possible!"

After finishing speaking, the girl bypassed Chu Qize and looked anxious to go home.

The girl stopped in the middle of her words, which was really uncomfortable. Before she could take a few steps, Chu Qize raised his hand again and grabbed her arm: "I wonder if the girl can be more specific?

"You don't know - there's a man-eating monster here lately, and it haunts the town every night, and now there are young people who disappear every morning, and I heard that they are all eaten by that monster!" the girl said, and seemed to be even more nervous: "It's getting dark this day, I guess that the monster will come out soon......"

"You'd better find a place to hide! I heard that the monster eats people to keep its face forever. The girl said, her eyes scanning around them, "Clean-cut young ladies like you, that kind of monster loves the most-"

Hearing the girl say this, Chu Qize's eyebrows frowned, but along the way, he didn't seem to see any inns, and even if there were, they were all closed: "Are there any inns nearby?"

After finishing speaking, the girl's expression froze for a moment, and after a while, the girl spoke: "It's so late, who else dares to open the door?"

The girl paused for a moment, as if she was hesitating about something: "Forget it, you can go back with me, my family also happens to have an inn, and I may be able to take you in for one night." ”

......

By the time we arrived at the inn, it was already completely dark.

The girl carefully closed the door and lit the candle in the menorah.

The warm yellow candlelight slowly lit up, and it seemed that the whole room was also warmed up.

It's quiet, but there's an inexplicable sense of security.

The girl turned around after lighting the candle, and at this time, she didn't seem to be as nervous as she had been. After his eyes fell on the three of them, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"You guys rest first, we should have a few rooms left here, and you shouldn't have eaten yet, right? I'll make some pasta for you to eat first." With that, the girl turned and walked towards the stove.

After Fu Chu looked around, his gaze returned to Chu Duan's body: "Senior brother, what the girl said about the monster - is it true?"

Fu Chu has grown so big, it seems that this is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing.

"I don't know. Chu Duan answered lightly, and after finishing speaking, his eyes also fell on Fu Chu's body - this little junior sister, why is she not afraid at all?

Looking at each other, Chu Duan's gaze was very clear, as if he could see through all the careful thoughts that Fu Chu had hidden in his heart. After Fu Chu stared at Chu Duan for a while, a burst of heat slowly appeared on her face, and after a while, she pretended to be calm and looked away from her eyes and looked at the chopsticks on the table.

The air was quiet, but it was so quiet, but it seemed to be different from the previous one—so quiet, it made Fu Chu feel a little awkward.

"That's right—" Suddenly, Chu Qize's voice sounded leisurely, breaking the indescribable silence: "I heard that Xiyun's medical skills are superb, but not everyone can see it. ”

Chu Qize said, and the eyes of the other two unconsciously fell on him.

"What do you mean?" Chu Duan was puzzled.

"I heard...... The person who goes to the doctor must bring something to her as payment, but if she doesn't like the reward, she will not help the doctor. Chu Qize paused for a moment, then continued to speak: "In the past few years, there have been many powerful people who have gone with gold and silver treasures, but those things are not pleasing to Xiyun, so they are all turned away......

"Then what should we bring to Xiyun?" Fu Chu asked again following Chu Qize's words.

"I heard that there is a purple spirit bead in Chengzhou, and it is especially pleasing to these divine doctors—why don't we go and find it?" Chu Qize asked tentatively.

Chu Qize said, Chu Duan couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Chu Qize, Chu Duan's eyes seemed to have a little scrutiny, as if he had some doubts, and after a while, Chu Duan said leisurely: "Chengzhou?"

In Chu Duan's impression, isn't Chengzhou just ...... And Chengzhou seems to be a certain distance from here.

As soon as Chu Duan asked, Chu Qize naturally said "um".

Chu Duan looked at Chu Qize, and just as he wanted to say something, the girl's voice came from behind them: "I cooked some noodles, and there is nothing to eat in the back kitchen, this noodles seem to be lighter, don't dislike ......"
