A rooster crowed, breaking the silence of the early morning.

In the town, a few households took the latch door, opened the door, poked their heads out to look, and when they saw goodbye, they also poked their heads out of the door, looked at each other, and were very glad that they had spent the night safely.

One by one, the doors of each house were opened.

At this moment, a family heard crying.

"My son!"

"Your life is so miserable!"

Yesterday, Mrs. Zhang coaxed her child to sleep and went back to the room.

At night, the child was anxious to urinate, got up to pee, did not find the urinal, was confused, opened the door, and sprinkled outside.

Stain Stain ......

An old woman, smiling grimly, walked over.

The child cried in fright, and then stopped moving.

Mrs. Zhang heard the cry of a child in the room, and immediately ran up, but it was too late, she lay behind the crack in the door, covered her mouth, and tears flowed out.

I saw the heart-eating witch holding her child in one hand.

Suddenly, the Heart-Eater seemed to sense that someone was watching her.

Turning his head, he smiled

Zhang Nu saw a ghost-like, terrifying and abnormal face, and fainted in fright.

......

The painter and the little monk woke up.

The handsome pot sat on the wooden board all night, and there was dew in his hair.

The painter opened the curtain, saw the handsome pot and plate sitting there, and said, "You sat on this board all night?"

Shuai Guo opened his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that it won't be safe at night, sitting here, if anyone approaches or what happens, I can deal with it in time." ”

In fact, there is so much space in the carriage, the painter is lying down, the little monk is lying, how can there be a place for the handsome pot to sleep.

The painter was quite moved and said, "Thank you for your hard work." And he drove the carriage to the door of the inn.

Shuai Guo didn't sleep all night, so he sat there and practiced, he was really a little unbearable, he was too sleepy, so he wanted to find a place to sleep.

Xiao Er was wiping the table, heard the sound of the carriage outside, ran out, and looked at Shuai Guo and his party with strange eyes, "From out of town?"

Shuai Guo smiled and nodded.

The painter remembered that he had come to the back of his mind last night, and said, "Is your inn still in business?"

Xiao Er said, open the door, how can there be no business.

The painter laughed angrily, "Then yesterday, why did the door close so early, and didn't the inn receive people from the south to the north?

Xiao Er heard it, it turned out that it was you who knocked on the door last night, his face was very entangled, but Shuai Guo knew the reason. Xiao Er said apologetically, "Ladies and gentlemen, we can't open the door when it's dark." ”

The painter wondered, "Why?"

Xiao Er shook his head and didn't speak.

"Lost all the money?" The artist sarcastically said.

Xiao Erxin said, silver can be earned at any time, but there is only one life.

The handsome pot opened and asked Xiao Er to open two rooms.

Xiao Er arrived at the stage, registered, collected the cashier, took off the key, took them to the second floor, opened the two guest rooms, and said, "The rules of the small shop, no matter what sound you hear at night, don't open the door, let alone go out." ”

The artist asks why?

Xiao Er shook his head.

The painter said angrily, "Could it be that there are still ghosts at night?"

Xiao Er smiled awkwardly, went downstairs and left, Shuai Guo pulled the painter into the room, closed the door, and said, "This town is not safe, be careful." Then let the whistling dog follow him, and go back to his room to catch up on sleep.

After sleeping for less than an hour, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock......

Outside the door, the painter shouted loudly, "Shuai Guo, have you woken up?" ”

Zheng Qixin said, handsome guy? Do men call it that way now, are they touted? Shuai Guo was woken up by a knock on the door, opened his eyes, got up from the bed, opened the door, only to hear the painter come over, and whispered, "Last night, what did you do while we were sleeping, a beautiful woman came to you early in the morning and said, what did you do to others?"

Shuai Guo was speechless, I said, do you dare to listen? Eating people's hearts, such a bloody scene, you are not scared half to death after hearing it, and you will drive away, so how can I kill that heart-eating demon woman and make money, no, eliminate harm for the people.

"Secret. Shuai Guo said, and kicked him out and closed the door.

Zheng Qi opened his mouth to speak, "I didn't disturb your rest." ”

got up, what else to bother and not bother, and motioned for her to sit down.

The painter lay in the doorway, listened attentively, but heard nothing, felt bored, and left.

"Can you really deal with the Heart-Eating Demon Woman?"

Shuai Guo nodded. Xindao, I was just scared last night, and with my martial arts, I didn't lose to her. As a killer, even if he is an unqualified killer, he still has the eye to observe his opponent.

"You can't be reckless in this matter, otherwise, your life will be gone?"

Seeing that Zheng Qi still had doubts, Shuai Guo felt that she had to give her some confidence, it was time to show her hands, and said, "Look at it." ”

"See what?"

I saw a bamboo chopstick in the hand of the handsome pot.

"Jianghu tricks, you are tricks. ”

The handsome pot is embarrassed, how did it become a trick, "Look, that wooden beam, I want to use chopsticks to insert it into the wooden beam." ”

Sou...

Like an arrow, aimed at a wooden beam, it flies out.

Bang!

The handsome pot thought that it was stable, and if nothing happened, it would definitely be able to insert more than two inches into the wooden beam, so he was waiting for praise.

However, after the bamboo chopsticks came into contact with the wooden beam, they didn't even have half an inch, and slowly fell to the ground.

The scene was awkward at one point.

"This, this unscrupulous businessman, what kind of bamboo chopsticks are used, the quality is really not good. And the wooden beams of the house, what do you do with such good wood?"

Forehead.....

Zheng Qi showed an embarrassed but polite smile, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say, this is too. With him, can he really deal with the Heart-Eating Demon Woman?

I said hello in my heart.

Shuai Guo felt that he had to try again, and said, "I used one success force just now, if I use ten success forces, no matter how bad the quality of these bamboo chopsticks is, no matter how hard the wooden beams are, I can pierce them." ”

Men want to save face in front of women.

Even if you've only known each other for a long time.

"No, no, I believe you. Zheng Qi said.

Zheng Qi has practiced martial arts and learned a few swordsmanship, she was also scared yesterday, if she was given another chance, she would draw her sword without hesitation.

He came to Shuai Guo today, just to see his martial arts and weapons.

As the saying goes, no matter how high your kung fu is, you are afraid of kitchen knives, and if you have a weapon, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Martial Arts Zheng Qi saw it, not very good, and asked, "Where is your weapon?"

Shuai Guo turned into a pair of bamboo chopsticks and said, "This is my weapon." ”

Zheng Qi can see it, fortunately he didn't expect too much, he still has to rely on himself, "You learned a secret weapon, so why don't you change to fine iron?"

"This ......" Shuai Guo said in his heart, using refined iron, the cost is too high to use. Otherwise, who would go to the tavern to eat and steal other people's chopsticks.

Zheng Qi looked at Shuai Guo's face, and understood, and said, "Follow me." ”

"Where are you going?"

Out the door.

I turned the street and came to the blacksmith's shop.

Thundered

The old blacksmith was striking iron, and when he saw Zheng Qi coming, he put down the hammer and said, "Little Qi." ”

Zheng Qi shouted cordially, "Grandpa Wu." ”

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, you came to me this time, what's the matter?"

Zheng Qi smiled, "I'm fine, can't I come to see you?"

Blacksmith Wu looked at the handsome pot beside Zheng Qi, "From out of town?"

"Leave early, this town has not been peaceful lately. ”

Zheng Qi opened the topic and said that he wanted to ask Grandpa Wu to help build a weapon, the old blacksmith took out a piece of paper and asked him to draw the shape of the weapon, Shuai Guo picked up the pen and sketched out the hidden weapon he wanted, like a thorn, four inches long, with a blood groove.

The old blacksmith looked at the picture and said, "When?"

Shuai Guo said, "Shen Shi." ”

Blacksmith Wu, "Good." ”

And began to pull boxes and strike iron.

Zheng Qi saw that the matter had been explained, and said to Shuai Guo, "In the evening, I will go to you." With that, he left.

The painter watched the blacksmith striking the iron, and after watching for a while, his stomach croaked with hunger.

The town is not big, there are strangers coming, it will be seen at a glance, walking on the road, many people are looking at him, Shuai Guo found a noodle stall, sat down, there are no guests inside.

"A bowl of noodles, not spicy. ”

"Okay. The fat boss said, during this time, because of the matter of the heart-eating demon woman, people were panicked, and the business could not be done, and there were no more customers, so it was going to close.

The noodles were quickly served and served.

"You're from out of town, aren't you?"

Shuai Guo snorted.

"It's not a peaceful town, so leave as soon as there's nothing to do. The fat boss said.

Shuai Guo hurriedly shouted, "Boss?"

"How?"

"Can you sit down and tell me about your town?"

The fat boss hesitated, and the handsome pot took out a little bit of broken silver and gave it to the fat boss, and the fat boss sat down happily.

"It started a month ago. On the edge of the town, there was a family where an old woman lived, who seemed to be infected with some kind of disease and her face was ulcerated, so she came to the town to find a medical center for treatment. The doctor said it was a contagion, and the matter spread around town. ”

"To cure this disease, the human heart should be used as a medicine. ”

The townspeople were afraid of being infected by her and drove her away and set fire to her house.

On that day, she died.

That night, the Heart-Eater appeared.

"I heard that the old woman died and her body changed. Every night when I come out, I have to come out to eat people's hearts, and I don't know, it's really fake?"

"Nearly 10 people have died so far, and a lot of people have moved away, and if this continues, I will move out as well. ”

Shuai Guo asked, "You didn't think about catching her." ”

"I also organized patrols before, and I heard that someone saw with their own eyes that the old witch was eating people's hearts, and when people came back, they were stupid. Who dares now, as long as the doors and windows are closed at night and don't come out, it will be fine. ”

The fat boss usually likes to accompany the guests to chat, and he can't stop talking about it, so he tells Shuai Guo everything he knows.

Shuai Nabe listened carefully while eating noodles.

When I left, I asked where the old woman lived.

There was only a trace of a burn, and nothing else.

I went around again, and at noon, I returned to the inn.

I knocked on the artist's door, but I wasn't in the house, but it seemed that I was out. And go back to your room to rest and recharge.

When it was time to deuteron.

I got up and was about to go out, but I saw the door of the next room half-open, and walked in, and the little monk was in the studio.

The painter watched the handsome pot come in, and said with a lewd smile, "Where did you go to play with the little girl?"

Shuai Guo didn't take this stubble, and said, "I have something to go out, this town is not peaceful, and when the time comes, don't come out or go out if anyone calls the door." ”

and told the howling dogs to take care of them.

The painter said, "Since it's not peaceful, where are you going now?"

Shuai Guo said, "I'm good at light, you don't have to worry about me, remember what I said, don't go out at night." With that, he turned and left, and closed the door.

Went downstairs.

Xiao Er was lying in front of the counter, and when he saw Shuai Guo coming down, he was walking towards the door, and hurriedly shouted, "Guest officer, where are you going? The shop is about to close." ”

"I'll go out, you close your door, leave me alone. ”

Without waiting for Xiao Er to respond, he quickened his pace, and after a while, he came to the blacksmith shop.

The old blacksmith saw the handsome pot, "Here it is." ”

"The weapons are all ready, on the table, you see, like it or not. ”

When the handsome pot arrived at the table, he saw three hidden weapons placed there, picked them up, weighed them, and said, "Very good, I like it very much." ”

"It's good to like it. After the old blacksmith finished speaking, he packed up his things and prepared to close the door, "Go back early, it is not safe at night." ”

At this point, it's unitary time.

Shuai Guo walked on the street, there were few people in sight on the street, and the sun had set.

After wandering for a while, it was already dark.

"She's here, why hasn't she come yet? ”
