The middle-aged stall owner saw that there was business coming to the door, and hurriedly greeted Lin Xiuran.

"This son, I'm a baked cake, two pennies a piece, how many do you want? I'll wrap it in paper for you, it's a cold day, it's definitely comfortable to eat one!"

The middle-aged stall owner looked at Lin Xiuran's dress, and saw that he was dressed in green clothes, with a scarf on his head, and he looked like a scholar, and couldn't help but smile honestly.

He has always been respectful of readers.

Of course, this has something to do with the dumb son at his feet who has been reading for a year, but can't read a "so is what it is".

The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, the land of outstanding people and spirits, and the reading atmosphere is prosperous.

His family has been selling baked cakes for five generations, and he doesn't want his son to be like him, exposed to the wind and sun, getting up early and greedy for darkness, and being a small vendor who works hard all day long.

He wanted to let this kid embark on a career in office, with a good title on the gold list and a glorious lintel.

But this boy is a piece of rotten wood, and every gentleman shakes his head when he sees it.

It's been a year, and he can't even read a single sentence of the "Three Character Classic", only knowing how to pee in the yard and play with the sand.

Today, if it weren't for his aunt returning to his parents' house, there were no adults at home, and there were often things like losing children in the capital, he wouldn't have taken this kid with him, and he would have been like the old days, letting him bite his pen and study hard.

"Childe, I'm not blowing with you, this baked cake stall, passed to me, it's the fifth generation, the neighborhood, there is no one who hasn't eaten my baked cake, that is, Zhen Pu Gongzi of Rongguo Mansion, he is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays, but after eating my baked cakes, he is also gobbling up and full of oil, I dare to guarantee, it is absolutely delicious!

The middle-aged stall owner still smiled innocently.

Lin Xiuran frowned slightly.

Prince Zhen Pu of Rongguo Mansion?

This is the first time Lin Xiuran has heard his name mentioned since he came to the capital from Fengming City.

"The son of the Rongguo Mansion is quite noble, why did he come to you to buy baked cakes?"

Lin Xiuran was a little unconvinced.

"You don't believe this son, I dare to swear with the golden signboard of my family's five generations of baked cakes, this matter is true. ”

The middle-aged stall owner said: "That day, his carriage passed by this road, and somehow, he suddenly got out of the carriage, hurriedly walked towards me, grabbed my baked cakes, devoured a meal, ate a mouthful of oil, and said, 'It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, this is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life'." ”

"Really, if Liu Laogan also came out of the stall today, he would be able to testify for me. ”

"Hehe, I believe, I believe. ”

Lin Xiuran listened to what the middle-aged stall owner said, and he understood a little.

It should be all his Bigu Dan who is playing tricks.

After the mysterious stone of Tianyin Pavilion was taken away by the fox, Lin Xiuran naturally did not need to participate in the auction as the son of Zhen Pu Rongguo's Mansion, so he took the two ladies and the Mingxin girl to return to their original colors and come to the capital.

What Lin Xiuran didn't know was that after he left, the Rongguo Mansion was in turmoil because of the disappearance of Zhen Pu's son, which simply turned Fengming City upside down.

In the end, I don't know who it was, I pushed open the coffin that had been idle in the house, and found Zhen Pu's son who had been asleep for a long time inside.

Because of her addiction to Dan, Granny Tang invited a doctor and was a true qi, and it took two days to wake Zhen Pu up.

Zhen Pu, who woke up, was not sick at all, his face was ruddy, and his body was strong.

But there is one thing that is not good, because the effect of Bigu Dan is still there, and he can't eat.

Looking at the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, he didn't move at all, but he was already burping, and he could only watch the delicious food being poured out.

This situation lasted for a month, and it hurt Zhen Pu, who loves beauty but also loves food.

Finally, one day, Bigu Dan finally lost its effectiveness.

His abdomen was suddenly empty, his hands and feet could not exert his strength, his whole body seemed to be hollowed out, and his whole body was weak and weak from hunger.

It was the first time in so many days that he had felt hungry.

He was so happy that he stopped the carriage and stumbled out of it.

The place where the carriage stopped happened to be the middle-aged stall owner's baked cake stall.

When the hungry Zhen Pu saw this baked cake, he smelled the fragrance of oil, and he didn't care that this was the food that inferior people and hard-working people would eat, so he grabbed one, stuffed it into his mouth at once, and devoured it.

It was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his life.

This situation is like when he was confined to the room by the ancestor of his family for a month and did not approach women, he went out, got free, and casually caught a little maid in the house for daytime prostitution.

Xiao Bisheng is newly married, very hungry, and mosquito legs are also meat.

The middle-aged stall owner looked at Lin Xiuran's smiling appearance and felt that this boy was good.

Scholars, especially those in the capital, can hardly afford to look down on the poor people who do their petty business.

He planned to pick the biggest one when he brought him the baked cakes.

"Childe, how many do you want?" asked the middle-aged stall owner again.

Lin Xiuran looked at the baked cakes on the stall, they were all very large, thinking that there were only four people in their house, and one person should be enough.

But then I thought that Miss Mingxin has been practicing martial arts diligently recently, and she is good at eating, so she may eat more.

So, he said to the middle-aged stall owner: "Bring me five baked cakes!"

Lin Xiuran said as he looked at the little boy who was cowering and dumbfounded at the feet of the middle-aged stall owner.

When he saw that he was holding a copy of the "Three Character Classic" and reading it, his two little hands and face were red from the cold, he couldn't help but say to the middle-aged stall owner: "It's raining so hard outside, how can you let the children come out with you, it's not good to be frozen!

Lin Xiuran said, pressed down the book that the little boy was holding in front of his face, looked into his eyes, and teased him.

When the little boy saw the stranger in green clothes in front of him "with bad intentions", he couldn't help but cower and retreated, and while retreating, he also looked at his father and asked him for help.

The middle-aged stall owner wrapped the baked cakes, and when he saw that his kid was so timid, he didn't try to save him from Lin Xiuran's clutches, but just shook his head helplessly.

He said: "This son, I'm not afraid of your jokes, this child has been stupid and timid since he was a child, his mother went back to his mother's house, I don't worry about leaving him alone at home, so I can only take him with me." ”

"Moreover, recently, there are often no people in the capital, and they all say that there are demons and people's hearts are panicking, and I don't dare to leave him alone at home, so I have to take him with me. ”

"Evil Troubles?"

"Yes! Childe didn't know it at first glance, and it was normal not to know about it. ”

"There are demons in this capital, and they have been doing evil for more than half a year, and they always lose their children for no reason, and there must be one a day, and at first I thought it was some human traffickers, and the parents who lost their children sued the government. The government also responded, saying that it would go all out to hunt down the murderer, but in the end it was just to no avail. ”

But one night, the watchman in the city saw a monster taking the corpse of a child in his mouth and munching on it in the street. ”

He was so frightened that he did not dare to say anything, and hid for an hour on the corner before he dared to come out, and when he came out, he saw the bones of the child that had been eaten on the ground. ”

"It's just that the government doesn't let us little people say this, and when we say it, we say that we will be arrested and imprisoned, I just want to see that you care about my baby, I think you are a good person, I am afraid that your baby will not be able to take care of it, and something will happen, so I told you. It's good that you know about it, but don't go to the government to sue me!"

"It's nature. ”

Lin Xiuran nodded, took the baked cake handed over by the middle-aged stall owner, paid the copper coin, and turned around and walked away without changing his face.

The words that the middle-aged stall owner said, what kind of evil is there, the first thing Lin Xiuran thought of was the fox.

Demons do like to eat people.

The fox happened to be a demon.

However, he immediately rejected the idea.

The middle-aged stall owner said that a child is lost every day in this city, which means that this demon has not left the capital in the past six months.

And the fox left the capital and went to Fengming City to seize the mysterious stone.

When you think about it, it is absolutely impossible for the demon to be it.

Who would that be?

In this Chen Guojing City, I'm afraid there are other monsters hidden.

Lin Xiuran frowned, feeling a little tricky.

But in any case, he will not shirk the responsibility that belongs to him.

Since there is a man-eating demon in this capital, Lin Xiuran can't sit idly by.

As an immortal of the Immortal Court, he has the responsibility to protect the peace of the world and destroy evil.

Tonight, he wants to see which demon dares to make waves in front of him?
