The first rays of the morning have shone on every part of this town, and the faint sunlight has also shone on the faces of the residents of each town, and every morning represents the beginning of a new hope, which is another beautiful day, but most of the faces of the townspeople are sad.

Hope is a beautiful thing, but there is a slight disappointment on the faces of the townspeople, because today is a special day.

Next to the inn where Xiong Yu lived was a place where a lone mother and daughter lived, and the cry of a girl had been heard in this house since early in the morning.

What is it that makes a young girl cry so sadly on a hopeful morning, has she lost hope? Or is there something sad about her?

Xiong Yu got up and stretched and opened the window, his window was facing the courtyard where the lone mother and daughter lived, the mother and daughter didn't know what they were talking about, and the mother seemed to be comforting her daughter.

Xiong Yu saw that the mother's face was also full of sadness, and the girl cried even more sadly when she heard her mother's words.

Xiong Yu couldn't help but listen to what the mother and daughter were saying, he wanted to hear what made the mother and daughter feel as if they were going to part with life and death.

I only heard the middle-aged woman say with a sad look on her face: "Alain, you just go, if you don't go to the town, all the people will be in trouble, have you forgotten those terrible things?"

After listening to the middle-aged woman's words, the girl was even more sad, and he whimpered and said, "Why is it me, why is it me, is my fate so miserable?

What is it that depends on a young girl to solve a disaster, and what kind of disaster can a young girl solve? Xiong Yu couldn't figure it out, so Xiong Yu continued to listen.

The middle-aged woman also shone with tears and held the girl's hand tightly and said: "Alain, buy whatever you like today, I will satisfy you with whatever you like to eat and wear, but tonight you must be there for the master, otherwise we can't afford the consequences." ”

The girl hugged the middle-aged woman tightly and cried, "Mother, can't we run away, can't we escape far away? ”

The middle-aged woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and wiped away the girl's tears before gritting her teeth and saying in pain: "Alain, if we escape, the people in the town will suffer, and if we escape, what if the monster appears." ”

The girl let go of the hands holding the middle-aged woman as if she had fallen into hell all of a sudden, she hung her hands weakly and whispered: "Okay, I'll go, if my death can be exchanged for a good life for everyone, then I'll go." ”

After saying this, the girl named Alain walked into the house without looking back, and then slammed the door shut.

The middle-aged woman looked at the girl's back as if she had lost her pillar, and she couldn't even stand steadily, she stood precariously.

Xiong Yu couldn't help frowning, he seemed to have heard the word monster just now, could it be that there are monsters in this town? Then Xiong Yu shook his head with a smile and said to himself: "Impossible, how can there be monsters in this world." "But there are no monsters, so what is the monster in the mouth of this middle-aged woman?

Xiong Yu couldn't help but become interested in this matter, and having interest meant that he had decided to meddle in this matter.

Just when Xiong Yu was about to jump down, suddenly there was a knock on the door from the underground room, and Xiong Yu couldn't help but look at it.

The middle-aged woman came to her senses and slowly walked to the door and opened the door, only to see a middle-aged man wearing coarse cloth standing at the door, this person was still carrying two chickens in his hands, the man put the two chickens at the door and said, "Give these two chickens to the child to stew and eat." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man left without looking back, and the middle-aged woman couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

After a while, people came to the middle-aged woman's house one after another, each carrying different things in their hands, including silk, rouge, and snacks, but everyone had the same expression on their faces, which was an expression of reluctance and helplessness.

The middle-aged woman endured it in front, and when the last person left, the middle-aged woman finally couldn't help crying bitterly.

The middle-aged woman looked at the mountains of things in front of her and crouched on the ground and shouted: "Alan, I can't stand you, so many things in front of me can't buy your life, who made the master fall in love with you." ”

When the middle-aged woman raised her head, she suddenly found that there was one more person in front of her, a young man, this young man's face was resolute, and his eyes also revealed a trace of determination, and he was still carrying a sword without a scabbard, this young man was Xiong Yu.

The middle-aged woman said with a puzzled look: "You, who are you?"

Xiong Yu helped the middle-aged woman up and said, "I'm a passerby, I want to know what happened to you here." ”

The middle-aged woman sighed and said, "Alas, this is an ominous place, you should leave this place quickly, don't give your life to this place." ”

Xiong Yu's doubts deepened, and he immediately said: "I have also learned some spells at home since I was a child, could it be that there are monsters here?" Xiong Yu heard the middle-aged woman say the word monster, and now he deliberately said that he was a person who had learned spells, and wanted to get something out of the mouth of this middle-aged woman.

Sure enough, this middle-aged woman's eyes lit up immediately after hearing that Xiong Yu had learned the law, and she hurriedly took Xiong Yu's hand and said, "You can also catch monsters?"

Xiong Yu nodded and said: "I do know a little bit about this, my father is a master in this area, so I have been familiar with it since I was a child, if you have any difficulties, you may wish to tell me, maybe I can help something." ”

The middle-aged woman pulled Xiong Yu to the house as if she had found a savior, and muttered: "It's easy to catch monsters, it's easy to catch monsters, maybe Alain will be saved this time." ”

After listening to what the middle-aged woman was talking about, Xiong Yu immediately thought in his heart: How can there be monsters in the world, those who catch monsters must be some secular liars, but this person can actually convince the residents of the town, this person also has some means, I will definitely meet him, catch this big monster behind the scenes.

After thinking about it, Xiong Yu was taken to the house by the middle-aged woman, and as soon as she entered the room, the girl named Alan was still crying in the corner, and the middle-aged woman invited Xiong Yu to the chair and immediately ran to the girl's side, grabbed the girl's shoulder, and said excitedly: "Alain, don't cry, our noble man has arrived, and it may be possible that you don't have to go to the master tonight." ”

The girl who was squatting in the corner and crying heard the middle-aged woman's words, and immediately turned her head and whimpered: "Mother, what are you talking about, what nobleman?"

The middle-aged woman immediately pointed at Xiong Yu and said, "Look at this little master, he can also catch monsters, if this little master can catch monsters, you don't have to go anymore." ”

Alan looked at Xiong Yu carefully, and then said to the middle-aged woman, "Mother, where did you find this little master?"

The middle-aged woman thought for a while and said to Alain: "I don't know how this little master appeared, as soon as I looked up, this little master appeared in front of me, this little master is our nobleman." ”

Alain immediately turned to tears and laughed: "Really, then I don't have to go to that place where there is no return." ”

The middle-aged woman nodded happily and said, "If this little master can catch the monster, of course you don't have to go." ”

Alain's eyes showed a look of worry again, and she looked at Xiong Yu with a wave of eyes.

Xiong Yu immediately smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, my ability to catch monsters is also first-class, and there are thousands of monsters planted in my hands." ”

The mother and daughter were immediately convinced.

If there is always a straw in a critical moment, they will desperately grasp it, and they will not care if this straw can save them, because they already feel that they have grasped the hope, the hope of survival.

Xiong Yu also sighed secretly: These kind people are always so easy to be deceived, if they are a bad person now, then they will not be fooled again.

The middle-aged woman has brought Alan to Xiong Yu, Xiong Yu took a closer look at Alan is really a little beautiful, a pair of big eyes reveal the innocence of the girl, seeing this girl is like seeing her own sister, Xiong Yu hopes that this girl can live happily.

Alan walked up to Xiong Yu and glared at him with big eyes and said, "Little master, can you catch that monster?"

Xiong Yu nodded confidently and said, "Yes, but you have to tell me about that monster first, and I can come up with a countermeasure." ”

After listening to Xiong Yu's words, the expressions of the mother and daughter became frightened again, and the middle-aged woman told Alan to go down and pour tea before slowly recalling the terrifying thing.

The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and said: "Little master doesn't know, three months ago, something strange suddenly happened in our town, every night there will always be a mysterious death of the town's residents, and one person will die every other day, which makes the whole town fall into panic." ”

Xiong Yu frowned and said, "One person dies every other day?"

The middle-aged man immediately nodded again and again: "Not only that, but these people's hearts are gone, their chests have been dug out of a big hole, and their hearts have been dug out." ”

Xiong Yu was surprised: "There is such a cruel thing, it is really not something that people can do." ”

The middle-aged woman's eyes were full of fear, and she continued: "Then the word spread in the town that there are man-eating monsters in the town, and they will eat a person's heart every day, and the entire town residents are in danger, and they are afraid that this kind of thing will happen to them. ”

Xiong Yu's face was solemn, and he paused and asked, "Then this master of catching monsters appeared?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "That's not the case, at the beginning, we pooled the money to hire a few masters who can catch monsters, and asked them to subdue this monster that specializes in eating people's hearts, but guess what." ”

"How's that?" Xiong Yu asked.

The middle-aged woman trembled and said, "These masters who can catch monsters were also taken out of their hearts by monsters, and their heads were also cut off by monsters and hung at the door." ”

Xiong Yu sighed secretly in his heart: What kind of person can be so cold-blooded.

The middle-aged woman looked out the window and continued: "Just when we were desperate, this master who can really catch monsters appeared, we don't trust anyone anymore, but as soon as this master appeared monsters, he never hurt the residents of the town again. ”

Xiong Yu pondered for a long time, and sighed in his heart: It seems that this is not a person, he must have a lot of helpers.

The middle-aged woman saw that Xiong Yu was silent and continued: "But this master later said that he only temporarily suppressed this monster, and if you want to kill this monster, you must listen to him and help him find what he wants." ”

Xiong Yu opened his mouth and said, "What does this master want?"

The middle-aged woman bowed her head and said, "The master will send him a thousand taels of silver and a virgin girl every fifteen days, only then can he recover his mana to deal with the monsters." ”

Xiong Yu was shocked: "You agreed?"

The middle-aged woman said with a helpless expression: "In order to prevent more residents of the town from dying, we can only do this. ”

Xiong Yu said loudly: "Could it be that you have sent six thousand taels of silver and six girls so far?"

The middle-aged woman nodded sadly and said, "Yes, but we have no other way, if we don't do that, the master will leave, and the man-eating monsters will continue to come out to plague the residents of the town." ”

Xiong Yu's eyes became cold, and he asked in a cold voice, "Did those girls come back after they went?"

The middle-aged woman choked up and said, "No, they never came back, and the master said that only by sacrificing the bodies of the girls can the man-eating monster be suppressed." ”

Xiong Yu clenched his fists and said, "Is today another day of sacrifice?"

Tears were already flowing in the eyes of the middle-aged woman, "Today is the day of sacrifice, and today it is Alain's turn." ”

(I posted it a little later today, because in addition to some things, I wrote a little more in this chapter to compensate everyone.) ）
