The shopkeeper threw a few steamed buns to Han Zhen and Sun Dan, and the two of them devoured them, this is probably the most delicious thing Han Zhen has ever eaten in his life. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Han Zhen felt choked after eating, and was about to look for water, but the shopkeeper's daughter had already brought a scoop of water to him and Sun Dan, and after the two drank the water, their mental state gradually improved.
Han Zhen was a little puzzled, and asked the shopkeeper: "Big fat, you have every chance to kill the two of us, why do you give it food, isn't this a waste of food." ”
Sun Dan suddenly realized and said, "I understand, we just ate a severed head meal." ”
Han Zhen said again: "Where is he so kind, I guess he probably wants to save our lives and use them for other purposes." ”
The shopkeeper said, "That's right, I just have a crush on you two." One of you is extremely cunning, insidious and vicious, and the other is quite skilled, so I want to reuse you. ”
Han Zhen knew that this was extremely cunning, insidious and vicious, and it was himself who he was talking about. And I think it's a joke, you're just a useless dead fat man, what good can you do if you get important. But at least you don't have to die for the time being, and then you can take the opportunity to escape.
The shopkeeper immediately said to the two: "Frankly tell you, don't think about running away, just now I have put a chronic poison on your steamed buns, I will give you one antidote every day, as long as you don't take it for a day, you will die of poison." ”
Han Zhen said angrily: "I really don't believe in people at all, am I this kind of person, since I have the opportunity to serve you, I will do my best and die." ”
The shopkeeper's daughter glanced at Han Zhen, with a disdainful expression on her face, obviously not believing what Han Zhen said. The shopkeeper led the way in front with a torch in his hand, and after walking a few steps, he didn't know where it touched, the door opened, and a large bright light came in, Han Zhen took a few steps forward and finally breathed fresh air, the smell of mud and decay here in the past few days made him very uncomfortable.
Strangely, the shopkeeper didn't let the two of them do the chores in the shop, but let them rest for a few days.
On this day, Han Zhen took advantage of the shopkeeper's efforts to go out and secretly ran out, based on his impression, he probably searched for it, and inquired all the way, and finally found An Xuanzhen's house.
After the doorman reported, An Xuanzhen let him in.
After seeing An Xuanzhen, Han Zhen told what happened to him and expressed his willingness to return to serve under her.
After hearing this, An Xuanzhen smiled and said, "Master Han, what kind of place are you here, come if you want, and leave if you want." I think the environment there is very suitable for you, and it is a kind of training for you. ”
Han Zhen was speechless by what she said, thinking about it carefully, following her is actually not much different from the shopkeeper, and they are all doing things that they don't want to do.
Seeing this, I had to leave dejectedly.
Thinking that he was going to be completely rescued, he had to wait until Liu Yujing of the Dongding faction broke through this sea city, according to the strength of the Dongding faction, it should be very simple to solve such a small sea city, at most it was a matter of a few days, and there were very few imperial court garrisons here. Even if there are other forces outside the city, the Dongding faction will still have the upper hand.
While thinking about it, he was already at the owner's restaurant, and this time he was familiar with it.
When the shopkeeper saw him come back, he called him and Sun Dan to the backyard, feeling as if there was something mysterious.
The shopkeeper invited the two to sit down, and ordered two cups of tea to be served, and after the man stepped back, he actually delivered the tea to the two of them himself, looking very respectful.
I really can't guess what kind of medicine he sells in this gourd, most of them are asking for the two of them, but they can't figure out what kind of use value they can have, just do it by themselves in terms of martial arts skills, why bother with such a lot of twists and turns.
The shopkeeper finally began to speak: "I don't have enough people in my store these days, so I need two people to help." ”
Han Zhen knew that a few people in the shop had died before, and there was indeed not enough manpower, but the owner of the store soon hired six or seven more people in two or three days, so after calculation, there should be more people than before, but how can it be said that there are not enough manpower.
The shopkeeper continued: "In the past, when Han Mianqing was here, he could guarantee to help me catch one person a day, so there were enough people, and there was still a surplus, but recently he hadn't arrested anyone, so there were not enough people." "Han Mianqing is the shopkeeper who was killed by Han Zhen.
Hearing this, Han Zhen and Sun Dan both had a creepy feeling, what does it mean to catch a person a day, it seems that this person should have been killed or sold. It turned out that the level of black shops in this house was even more serious than they thought.
Just as the two of them looked dazed, the shopkeeper led them to a room. Han Zhen looked at the furnishings in this room, just like an ordinary room, and there was no man-eating demon king hidden, so he didn't know what the shopkeeper meant by being alone a day.
The shopkeeper twisted a hidden compartment in his hand, and suddenly a wall flipped over and became a door.
Han Zhen sighed in his heart, this small shopkeeper has played with the mechanism, how can these ancients always like to play with these mechanism secret things, think about it, they don't have a bank, they don't have a safe, they will naturally find a way to hide their precious things a little secret.
After the secret grid was opened, Han Zhen and Sun Dan looked inside, and they couldn't see it very clearly, there was a big bird waving its wings inside, vaguely like a bat, but its size was different from that of a bat, and it was the size of an ordinary person.
Han Zhen blurted out, "Could it be that this is a bat demon." ”
The shopkeeper said, "That's right, it's been hungry for a few days now, and it was originally in human form, because it couldn't eat enough. If it doesn't eat anyone for another two or three days, our whole family will be eaten by it. ”
Han Zhen asked, "There are so many people in the city in the sea, why does he have a relationship with your family?"
The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "I also want to ask him this question." We wanted to run away with our families, but outside the city in the sea was now in turmoil and heavily guarded, and we couldn't leave if we wanted to. ”
Han Zhen analyzed for a moment: "It's probably because you're too fat, then the bat demon thinks, if it can't be supplied with people to eat, at least it can be worth two or three people if I get you to eat, and you are his last dry food." ”
The shopkeeper frowned and said: "I can't help this, I'm just so fat, in fact, it's not terrible for it to eat me, the most worrying thing is that he will hurt my family." ”
When he talked about his family, Han Zhen's eyes lit up and said: "It may also be that it is optimistic about your daughter, your daughter looks strange and demonic, and the bat demon may want to accept her as an apprentice, or finally treat her as a delicious dessert." ”
The shopkeeper said emotionally: "If anyone dares to touch my daughter, I will not let him go." ”
Han Zhen patted him and said: "Brother, don't get excited, it's never a long-term solution for you to kill people like this, one day, you will become the target of public criticism because you have offended too many people, and everyone will see you as a murderer at that time, if you die, who will take care of your wife and daughter." ”
Sun Dan suggested: "It's better for you to let me go, and I'll bring my sergeants to help you subdue the demon." ”
Han Zhen said: "I think it's better to find a monk and Taoist priest with good spells." ”
The shopkeeper said angrily: "You don't need to worry about these things, if it was useful, I would have done it a long time ago, and I can wait for today, if you want to live, just do what I say honestly." ”
Han Zhen saw that he was really moody, and he said that he would change, and secretly scolded, you deserve to be controlled by monsters, you will only bully good and fear evil, and people like you should end up like this.
The shopkeeper activated the secret compartment to close the door, and ordered Han Zhen and the others: "The matter is very simple, the two of you only need to pick one of the guests who have eaten in front of you every day and send it here to eat." ”
Sun Shan asked: "This is not difficult, let's just put some ** in someone's meal, and then send him here." ”
The shopkeeper said, "No, this bat demon only eats people who are jumping around, and it doesn't eat dead or fainted." ”
Han Zhen snorted coldly and said: "It's just that you are used to eating it so picky, I think it can still survive if you feed it some pig feed or something." By the way, you bastard loves poison so much, you can get him some poison to eat. ”
The shopkeeper said: "I often hide some poisons such as Heding red arsenic on the body of the person it wants to eat, and it swallows the person's clothes together, and the poison has no effect on it, and it should be eaten as a meal to fill its stomach." ”
He stopped talking to the two of them, urging them to go ahead and look for prey.
When he arrived in the front hall, he saw all kinds of guests talking and laughing, where could Han Zhen start.
Sun Shan pointed to a red-faced and red-eared drunken man who was drinking and said to Han Zhen: "I think it's just him." Han Gongzi, we can't hide, someone has to die. This drunkard is not a good thing at first glance, and today is its hour, no wonder we are. ”
Han Zhen grabbed Sun Dan behind him, looked over there and said: "I think he just likes to drink, and his face is still very kind, if he is eaten like this for no reason, his family will never find him." I am afraid that our conscience will be disturbed and we will have nightmares at night. ”
Sun Shan said with a sad face: "Han Gongzi, in fact, I don't want to kill anyone, but things have come to this point, we really have no way out, and without a one-day antidote, we will also die of poison." ”
The two approached the drunkard, and Sun Shan smiled at him: "This big brother, how is the food in our shop, is there enough wine, seeing that you have drunk so much, you must be a hero, our boss wants to invite you to the back to taste a good wine." ”
The drunkard stood up, grabbed Sun Dan's collar and said, "Don't you see I'm drinking, who wants you to disturb indiscriminately, you want me to taste wine, it's okay, but there is one condition, you must give me free money for this drink." ”
Several people around him also coaxed together, and someone said: "My second master Xiao can come to dinner, it's to give you face." ”
The second master Xiao he said is naturally this drunkard.
