In the secret room, a group of rats is rampant.

The sound of squeaking is endless.

Wisps of almost inaudible gray mist slowly emerged, fluttering down on several black-haired mice, emerging from their bean-sized eyes.

Several black rats gathered in the swarm immediately squeaked wildly, and a large number of black hair grew rapidly under its fur, blending into the original black hair, forming a twisted and strange black mass, and then began to step on its kind and burrow around the room.

The white-haired rat lying on the table of the Eight Immortals didn't care about this at all, it closed its emerald green eyes slightly, and lay on the human skull to get drunk.

On its huge belly, as the pile of meat began to squirm, one after another hairless rat cubs the size of thumbs were squeezed out from under its buttocks, and at a curl glance, dozens of cubs were already curled up on the table behind the white rats, making a faint squeak.

The white rat seemed to be a little irritated by the noise of these cubs, and its tail of almost equal length flexibly swung around the table of the Eight Immortals, and dozens of cubs that had not yet opened their eyes were immediately swept under the table of the Eight Immortals.

Countless rats gathered under the table immediately rushed up, and the sharp front teeth bit the falling young rats, and in the conquest with their companions, they were torn into countless pieces and devoured, and only a few lucky cubs escaped.

A few black-haired rats were mixed in, and they didn't notice anything unusual at all.

Until a black-haired mouse accidentally ran to the edge of the room and tried to dig a hole with its paws, the rats stacked around it immediately stopped playing, and they instantly twisted their heads at the same time, staring at the black-haired mouse in front of them, and before it could react, they swarmed up, and in a moment fell into the mouths of their brothers and sisters.

In the secret room, the few surviving black rats immediately retracted into the rat colony to compete for food, just like their brothers, and they couldn't see anything abnormal.

Zhang Jiao gently covered his eyes until the blood in his eyes gradually faded, and then said in a low voice, "Have you been stricken?"

After a moment's thought, he stood up, tied his hair into a big ponytail, put on the hat next to him, and walked straight out the door.

Not long after he went out, several brown-haired rats immediately chased after him at the edge of the old earthen house and quietly followed.

Zhang Jiao sensed the movement behind him, and after walking for a short distance, he suddenly glanced at the pile of displaced people next to him, and then walked in the direction of Beiguan.

Behind him, a thin voice suddenly came out.

"Brother, look, there's meat. ”

The boy huddled in the corner of the room immediately got up, and he looked in the direction his brother was pointing, and saw five or six rats crawling along the wall.

He immediately pounced with green eyes.

.......

Beiguan, located in Changqi County, belongs to the main road from east to west, and countless merchants and traders pass through this place.

Therefore, although Changqi County suffered a year's disaster last year, Beiguan City is still prosperous, with people coming and going, and goods in an endless stream.

The only difference compared to usual is that there are more displaced people outside the city, and there are more scattered graves.

Zhang Jiao quickly dodged the arm of the beggar next to him, who was almost robbed, and walked quickly through a path where refugees were piled up, and came to the official road outside the city gate of Beiguan.

Above the official road, several teams of soldiers with full armor patrolled along the official road outside the city gate, and any homeless people who dared to gather here would be severely beaten.

On both sides of the official road, the bodies of homeless people are being hung high as a warning.

Therefore, on this official road, which can run four carriages in parallel, there are basically no disheveled people to be seen.

Zhang Jiao walked along the official road to the gate of the city, and after paying the entrance fee to the city, he finally entered the city where there were still a lot of remnants of prosperity and prosperity.

The city is crowded with people, the sound of hawkers is endless, and jugglers can also be seen.

Zhang Jiao slowly walked into the city with the crowd, without attracting anyone's attention.

He looked around all the way, and when it was close to evening, he had already stepped on most of the entire Beiguan City, and the approximate location and area of the city had also been touched.

The Sanyang Society he was looking for had also seen a lot of traces in this Beiguan City.

Especially in this area of Dongcheng, it is common to see some middle-aged women who are kind and kind, who are accompanying a few women to talk around, and from time to time they will mention the teachings of the Sanyang Society, encouraging them to go and listen to it.

After Zhang Jiao pretended to listen to a few sentences next to them inadvertently, someone immediately came up to him and introduced him to the teachings and purposes of the Sanyang Society, not caring at all about the long knife he was carrying at his waist.

Along the way, the residents of the city would keep a little distance from him after seeing the long knife at his waist, and try not to make contact with him as much as possible.

Only the missionaries of the Sanyang Society did not care about his attire at all, and enthusiastically promoted him.

"In this time of chaos in the world, the Sanyang Divine Venerable can't bear the suffering of the world, and deliberately passes on the three lords of the society to the dust, so as to wait for the people of the world to enjoy peace......"

"It's a pity, if he were in his area, these people must be a bunch of salesmen. Zhang Jiao looked at the man who sat down with him, chattering endlessly, and thought regretfully.

"Boss, come with two servings of sheep blood, and give one to the brother next to me. ”

Zhang Jiao immediately took out more than a dozen copper plates and handed them to the small stall owner in front of him.

"Okay, you two wait. ”

The stall owner immediately took the copper plate and shouted loudly.

The man sitting next to him immediately waved his hand and said push away, "No, this is really not necessary." ”

But when the finished lamb's blood dumplings were placed in front of him, the steaming aroma immediately blocked the words from his mouth.

Zhang Jiao glanced at him, and immediately took the bowl, ate the coarse cakes that came up together, and ate the sheep's blood dumplings.

The man subconsciously squirmed his throat and slowly hugged the wooden bowl with both hands.

Zhang Jiao glanced at him inadvertently, the corners of his lips were full of smiles, and he was about to continue to enhance his relationship with this little brother, when he suddenly looked stunned.

He immediately ate the rest of the dumplings in the bowl in three or two bites, and after saying goodbye to the man next to him, he disappeared in front of the stall in a few ups and downs.

"Your Excellency, may you .......?"

The man looked in the direction where Zhang Jiao left, and before he finished speaking, he disappeared. ”

He lowered his head in some frustration, and carefully ate the dumplings in the bowl, not even a drop of soup left.

The other side.

As Zhang Jiao stumbled through the alleys of the city, he soon found himself in a sparsely populated place.

A blood-colored glow appeared in his eyes, and the black rat left in the chamber was calling out to him.

Zhang Jiao looked up, only to see that on the earth-gray courtyard wall in front of him, blood suddenly kept dripping down, like a screen, and countless pictures were reflected in the blood screen.

In the darkness of the chamber, a figure jumped from the floor above the chamber and landed straight among the rats.

Dozens of rats, which had nowhere to dodge, were immediately trampled to death by him, trampled under his feet.

A squeaky sound was immediately heard from among the rats.

Countless screaming rats immediately rushed up, and while eating the dead of their kind, they crawled madly onto the heads, shoulders, and legs of the figures, and as long as there was a place to stay, rats climbed up.

Dense rats hung all over his body, and the whole figure seemed to be composed of a group of rats.

The figure didn't seem to care about the mouse hanging on his body, and even touched the outermost mouse affectionately for a while, and then walked to the table of the eight immortals, knelt on the ground in one step, kowtowed, and said a vague local language.

"Greetings to Granny Gray. ”

The rat hanging on his body immediately jumped down, and spread out like a tide.

The figure immediately revealed its true face.

A boy in a sleeveless coat with tattoos on his arms is kneeling on the ground.

If you look closely, the text tattoos on his arms are actually rats with different shapes, but the tattoo artist's craftsmanship is so clever that at first glance, people subconsciously think that they are words.

The boy raised his head, but there were two mouse mustaches on his immature face, and he bared his teeth and had a flattering smile on his face, kneeling and moving to the table of the eight immortals, and whispered hello in the native language.

"Grandma Gray, you were satisfied with the humans and animals last time, if you don't like it, your grandson is changing your taste?"

The white-haired rat on the table of the Eight Immortals slowly opened its eyes, it squeaked twice weakly, and then moved its belly.

A fist-sized white-haired mouse emerged from under its belly and jumped directly on top of the boy's head, squeaking as if talking to the boy.

The boy was immediately overjoyed, and said excitedly.

"Thank you for the gray grandmother reward, thank you for the gray grandmother reward. Grandma, don't worry, in two days, your grandson will bring you two more humans and animals less than a month old to give you nourishment. ”

The white-haired rat squeaked when he heard this, and closed his eyes again.

The boy immediately said respectfully, "Grandma, the grandson will retire for the time being." ”

After saying that, he kowtowed three more times, and then stood up and prepared to leave.

He clapped his palms, and the floor above the chamber immediately opened again, and a rope descended.

The boy grabbed the rope and crawled out of the underground chamber in three or two steps.

Boom.

As the boy crawled out, the two living people who were bound hand and foot were immediately kicked down by the mountain people standing next to them.

The rats in the secret room suddenly went crazy, and the cries of fear and despair continued to be heard from the chirping rats.

The mountaineers next to them immediately pulled out the ropes, and then slammed the floor together, and the screams and rats immediately became inaudible.

After the boy waved off the mountain people next to him, he immediately walked out with the white-haired rat on his head.

None of them noticed that after the two of them left, they were thrown on the rope beside them, and a thin strand of hair came out of the rope and floated out along the mountain wind.
