Chapter 16: Strange Things in the City

Wen Cheng took a piece of curling stone from the plate and put it in his mouth, the cold, crispy, and elastic touch made him extremely satisfied. This dish is called curling, and it is made from the meat on the paws of a wild beast in the Northlands, which is made by complex cooking. Naturally, everything complicated is expensive, and the price of this dish is not affordable for ordinary people.

The lobby of the restaurant was noisy, and although the Wenjia knife was talked about, it was just a topic, and soon the conversation of diners moved to other places.

"Have you heard? Songjiazhuang has suffered, and more than 70 people in the village, whether they are old people or children, have all died, which is very miserable. ”

"Why haven't you heard that the people in the village are dying tragically, and many people have become ...... Uh, forget it, don't talk about it. Speaking out affects appetite, eating, eating, eating. ”

Songjiazhuang?Wencheng's chopsticks paused slightly, and suddenly heard the news of Songjiazhuang again, and Wencheng's attention was directed to the bottom of the lobby. The first time he heard the news of Songjiazhuang was when he bought ancient jade. At that time, he felt that there must be something strange in this Songjiazhuang, something in a tomb that could inspire his "Infinite Skill Modifier", and it would be hell if there was no weirdness. Although he doesn't know where this skill point came from now, combined with his understanding of "infinity" during this time, he guesses that this skill point is mostly related to things like yin and evil and yin qi.

But what Wencheng didn't expect was that when he heard the news again, the whole village was in trouble.

"With so many people dead, doesn't the court care?"

"Anyway, it doesn't matter. I heard that the lord of the castle had just received the news and sent the arrest to the past. ”

A man in his thirties sneered, "The imperial court, when has the imperial court ever relied on?" My home is not far from Songjiazhuang. More than ten days ago, strange places began to appear in Songjiazhuang, but the imperial court just sent two catchers to take a look and leave. Now that there is such a big thing, I sent people over, but it was just to collect the corpses of the people in Songjiazhuang. ”

"What's the weird thing? Isn't it the court saying that bandits kill people?"

"Bullshit bandits kill people, most of the bandits are still for money, at most they just kill one or two Liwei. The man said with a disdainful face.

"That's the truth, everyone has been killed, who will those bandits rob next time? Tell me, what weird things happened in Songjiazhuang?"

Bandits are rampant, and people here have long been accustomed to it.

It's still weird things that are more attractive to everyone, and the diners are sticking their ears and waiting for the man's next words.

"I don't know exactly what the situation is. At first, I just heard that Songjiazhuang was haunted by water ghosts, and at first they lost a child, and everyone didn't care, but later even adults began to disappear, which made the people in Songjiazhuang feel scared. When they wanted to escape, they didn't expect that there would not be even a single living mouth in the whole village overnight. ”

The man sighed.

"After talking for a long time, what happened or didn't say, I said it couldn't be made up by you, right?"

The man looked embarrassed in the face of others' questions, and drank the wine in the cup without saying a word.

When the others saw that the man had no intention of continuing, they all turned their heads and stopped paying attention to him.

Wencheng groaned, put down his chopsticks, and walked downstairs with a pot of wine, so that he could be by the man's side.

"This big brother, I saw that you wanted to talk and stopped just now, do you mind talking to me?"

Wencheng put the flask down, took a wine glass, and was about to pour himself a glass of wine. Suddenly, he turned his head and saw that the man's face was pale without a trace of blood, and bursts of black gas rose from him.

"No... Seashell... Meaning..."

The eerie voice had a buzzing tone.

Wen Cheng grabbed the Wen family knife in his hand, and a chill surged up in his heart, concentrating on this strange scene.

In a trance, Wencheng felt the noise around him pour into his ears. The man in front of him also looked like a normal person, asking him with concern.

"Childe, Childe, are you alright? I know everything you want to ask. ”

"Oh, no, I don't ask anything, I just want to invite you to drink a pot of wine, the wine is here, you drink slowly, I invite you to this table, I still have something to do, go first." Leave. ”

After Wen Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and left, and after giving instructions to the restaurant's work, he walked out of the restaurant.

Standing on the street, the warm sunlight of the sun made the chill in his heart fade slightly.

Glancing back at the dimly lit door of the restaurant, his face was gloomy. He was sure that he was not mistaken, it was not that he had just wandered, what he saw was real, and that the man must have something strange. As for why others can't see it and can't hear it, he doesn't know. But it's always good to stay away from that man.

Wencheng walked back along the street, although Tieshan City is a small city, but because of the iron ore industry, it is not worse than the big city in terms of prosperity, and the streets are full of hawkers selling all kinds of things.

"Rouge gouache, sell rouge gouache, good rouge gouache, come and take a look." ”

"Needles and threads are used by every household, and they are sold cheaply. ”

......

Wencheng walked alone on the street, passing by all kinds of vendors and pedestrians, with a blank expression, obviously thinking about something. He was thinking about the weirdness he had encountered in the restaurant just now, that kind of thing should no longer be a person, it's a ghost. Thinking of Gu Yu who activated his skill modifier, the incident in Song Jiazhuang, and the fact that people like Shangguan Yan must have a purpose in coming to Iron Mountain City, he felt a breath of mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

Wen Cheng doesn't know if with his current strength can withstand the next wind and rain, most of them can't bear it, unless he has the strength of Shangguan Yan. But what Shangguan Yan's strength is, he doesn't know, he only knows that it is much stronger than him now.

Suddenly, Wencheng's pupils shrank, where did I come here?

There was no one in the alley, only a vendor selling baked cakes and a small wooden cart in front of him.

"Selling baked cakes, freshly baked baked cakes, which guest officer buys a baked cake." ”

The peddler shouted as he walked forward.

Wencheng was about to stretch out his hand to stop the hawker, but he saw the hawker turn right and enter an alley.

Wencheng took three steps and made two steps to catch up and stop the hawker, but as soon as he turned into the alley where the hawker had just entered, the expression on his face was suddenly stunned, and there was no one in the entire alley.

This is impossible, Wen Cheng's face is extremely ugly, how much time did it take him to catch up just now? In such a short period of time, it is impossible for the hawker to go far. And he looked at the alley carefully, there were no forks, no potholes, and not even a door on either side of the alley, where did the peddler go?

Wen Cheng's hand holding the knife tightened, and he continued to chase into the alley with a numb scalp.

Wen Cheng soon walked to the end of the alley, and his face was even more ugly when he faced the dead-end alley in front of him. Turning around suddenly, I saw a group of children playing games behind me.

"My sister is carrying a doll on her back,

Walk to the garden to see the flowers,

The doll cried and called for its mother,

The birds in the trees laughed haha......"

The children sang and sang, and I don't know when Wencheng realized that all the children were revolving around him. Before he could draw his sword, he felt a whirlwind of heaven and earth, and looked up at the sun in the sky, only then did he realize that the original golden sunlight had turned pale at some point.

The horror was great, and a desperate mood filled Wencheng's heart.

At this time, he slapped his big hand on Wencheng's shoulder.

"Second Young Master Wen, what's wrong with you? Why are you standing on the street for a long time without moving, what's so beautiful about this sun?"

Wen Cheng felt the tap on the shoulder just now, as if he was being submerged in the icy water, and a huge force pushed him to the shore, and the air around him seemed to be surrounded by a warm temperature.

When he came back to Wencheng, he found that he was still standing on the street, surrounded by people and people, but the sun had reached the middle, letting him know that time had passed a lot.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mu Zhutou, I'm fine. Where are you going?"

Seeing an acquaintance, Wen Cheng suddenly calmed down, and said politely to Mu Zhutou.

Mu Zhutou is one of the heads of Tieshan City, and he is also an old subordinate of Wenfu Muda. And because of Muda, the relationship between Mu Zhutou and the Wen family has always been very good, and sometimes Mu Zhutou will make a special trip to Wenfu to see Muda, so Wencheng and Mu Zhutou are very familiar.

"Where else can I go, just come to this Huaizifang to patrol the streets. It's you, Second Young Master Wen, why did you come here, if there's nothing to do, you better go back quickly. ”

This is the Huaizi Fang, but the Huaizi Fang and the location of his Wenfu are two directions, I remember that I was preparing to go home, how could I take the opposite road, come to the Huaizi Fang?

"I don't know how I ended up here, I'm going home, I'm going back now, and I'm leaving. ”

Wen Cheng shook his head and said uncertainly, but now he just wanted to go back quickly, and simply said goodbye to Mu Zhutou directly.

Mu Zhutou responded to Wencheng with both hands in fists, looked at Wencheng's back as he turned to leave, and smiled.

......

Wencheng returned to Wenfu, he thought about the strange things he encountered in the restaurant today, and he thought it would be better to talk to his father. It may not have much effect, but it's good for your family to be on guard against it.

Wencheng came to his father's study, and Uncle Mu was also there. Wencheng told the things he encountered today, 1510, and reminded his father after he was done.

"Dad, I feel that the city is starting to be unpeaceful, and I don't know what the situation outside is?
