At the bonfire party in Laishui Town that day, Chen Xiaomo inadvertently asked the white-bearded old man about the deserted village. The white-bearded old man sighed, slowly recalling the tragic past.

That village is called Liujiazhuang, and there used to be hundreds of families, and the villagers were self-sufficient, but they also lived freely.

But on that day, many robbers suddenly came to the village, and they burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil.

They are said to have robbed the village of all its property and set a large fire. They killed all the adults in the village, leaving only teenagers in their teens and twenties.

Later, the government took people to the village to check, but they didn't find out why, and it slowly stopped.

I heard that a righteous sect had later emerged to drive out the robbers and take the young men under his own command.

What's even more bizarre is that during that period, many villages were attacked by bandits, and the situation was generally similar to that of Liujiazhuang.

The white-bearded old man's words couldn't help but make Chen Xiaomo suspicious.

The tragedy in Stone Village has always been a knot in his heart.

Ordinary robbers only rob money and sex, but they rarely kill people and set fires, and it is even more unheard of to kill adults and leave children behind.

And the timely appearance of the Righteous Path Sect has made this matter even more confusing, what kind of connection exists in this?

Thinking about it, Chen Xiaomo had come to the largest restaurant in the city, Yuhua Restaurant, but seeing that such a luxurious restaurant was dilapidated, as far as the eye could see, the restaurant had already been scarred by a lot of swords, especially the second floor of the restaurant was the most seriously damaged, the entire row of windows and railings on the west side were all broken, and the entire second floor seemed empty.

Moreover, the houses around the restaurant have also been damaged to varying degrees.

The restaurant was destroyed like this, and naturally it was closed for maintenance. A group of maintenance workers are tinkling on the restaurant, which is very inconsistent with this bustling street market.

Chen Xiaomo asked an old woman who was setting up a stall next to him about the situation, and the old woman was also very enthusiastic, and said patiently: "Two days ago, some righteous disciples had a conflict with two women from the Demon Sect, and on the second floor of this restaurant, they fought so fiercely that they almost demolished the entire building, and I heard that in the end, it was the two women of the Demon Sect who won. ”

"Old woman, do you know which sect those righteous path disciples belong to?" Chen Xiaomo asked eagerly.

"I don't know, but what I'm talking to you is also heard from other people. ”

Chen Xiaomo smiled slightly, and said gratefully: "Thank you, old woman!" After that, Chen Xiaomo was about to turn around and leave.

Then the old woman stopped him, "Wait, young man!"

Chen Xiaomo turned around, not knowing what the old woman was going to do.

I only heard the old woman say slowly: "This Yuhua Restaurant can't be repaired in a moment, if you want to live in the hotel, why don't you go to Qingquan Restaurant, in addition to Yuhua, it can be regarded as the best restaurant here." ”

Before Chen Xiaomo could speak, the old woman took out a piece of paper from the box, only to see the words "coupon" written on it, and the signature was Qingquan Restaurant.

It turned out to be a flyer!

Chen Xiaomo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but seeing that the old woman was so enthusiastic, he couldn't refuse, so he accepted the coupon.

"Come and sign with me, young man!" said the old woman, who had already taken out a pen and paper.

Chen Xiaomo knew that there was a certain commission in this, so he wrote the three big words "Chen Xiaomo" on the paper.

According to the address on the paper, within a few streets, Chen Xiaomo came to the door of Qingquan Hotel.

The architecture here is magnificent and beautifully decorated, and it is not inferior to Yuhua Hotel.

Anyway, I'll just have a lunch by myself, and it's not all the same everywhere?

Chen Xiaomo didn't think much about it, and strode into the restaurant.

The interior of the restaurant is gorgeously decorated, and the clerks are all neatly dressed and have confident smiles on their faces.

Seeing Chen Xiaomo coming, a shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him to the second floor.

In the past, Chen Xiaomo was an out-and-out poor person, so naturally he didn't have much money to spend.

But now, he has 5,000 taels of gold on his body, and he can finally enjoy the fun of being a rich man for two days!

He carefully flipped through the recipe and ordered a table full of dishes. Because he doesn't like to drink, he ordered a pot of good Longjing tea. If you think about it, this table of dishes is probably worth two or three hundred taels of silver!

Chen Xiaomo felt that the dishes here were very much to his liking, and the dishes on the table were swept away.

Downstairs, a beautiful woman dressed in purple walked in with light steps, which attracted the attention of many men in a moment.

The shopkeeper's eyes were almost worth it, and he forgot to greet the woman in purple.

"Look at what!" The woman in purple opened her eyes angrily, and stepped on the shopkeeper's foot, which hurt the shopkeeper and screamed.

This beautiful face, this crisp voice, and this brutal behavior, who is Li Yanhui? It's just that there is a trace of inexplicable sadness on her face.

"Oh, girl, yes, I'm sorry, I'll arrange a seat for you!" said the shopkeeper holding his aching foot.

Li Yanhui glared at him and said, "No need, I'll just sit there!" Li Yanhui pointed to a position by the window.

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face, and hurriedly invited Li Yanhui to the position by the window.

Li Yanhui is the eldest lady of the Heavenly Demon Qi Sect, and she is also a person who is willing to spend money, and the things she ordered are naturally not much worse than Chen Xiaomo.

The shopkeeper on the side suddenly smiled happily, it seems that he has made a lot of money this month.

Since Li Yanhui sat there, I am afraid that many people have no intention of eating anymore. Li Yanhui only lowered her head to drink tea, but her face was full of disdain.

At this time, a scholar sat not far from Li Yanhui, looking at his simple clothes, it is estimated that he will have a tea here at most!

Sure enough, the scholar only needed a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and he read the book while drinking tea.

"What a nerd!" Li Yanhui laughed secretly in her heart.

It may be that the scholar read the book too seriously, and when his hand slipped, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into several petals.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly ran over and shouted extremely exaggeratedly: "Oh, this guest officer, you actually broke a blue and white teacup!"

The scholar's face was visibly full of panic, and he moved his lips, not knowing what to say.

But how much is a teacup worth? Most of the scholars are good-looking, and in full view of everyone, he boldly said: "How much is it? I will pay for it!"

"Such a good blue and white porcelain cup, to say the least, it must be worth fifty yuan!" said the shopkeeper unhurriedly.

"What, what? Fifty cents!" The scholar suddenly blushed with shame, because he didn't have fifty cents on him in total.

"What, no money?" The shopkeeper changed his face faster than flipping through a book, and said viciously: "You don't even have fifty yuan, and you dare to come here to eat! If you can't pay fifty yuan today, you don't want to go anywhere!"

Just when the scholar was at a loss, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded.

"I said little second brother, aren't you a big bully in the shop?" I don't know when, Li Yanhui has appeared next to the shopkeeper.
