Chapter 0624 Fellow Taoist, please stay!(1/2)
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
When a little girl was still entangled with the fairy palace maids in the Yaochi in the sky and just started to say goodbye and leave, a whole day had passed in Qiantang County, the human world.
After all, the saying that one day in the sky and one year in the earth is not just a joke...
In the case of inconsistent flow of time, the passage of time in the world is beyond everyone's imagination! Of course, the heartless Anne will definitely not take this kind of thing into her heart!
Because, in her opinion, that so-called year was just a short day... She just ate and drank a lot in a spicy place called Yaochi, and did nothing else! Not to mention that she didn't know the inconsistency of the passage of time in the sky and underground before, even if she knew in advance, she wouldn't eat less for a second in the face of the temptation of delicious food, and it wouldn't work for half a second!
When she knew that a whole year had passed in the human world and was no longer anxious, she left Yaochi, and then threw herself out and wandered around the heaven again.
Fortunately, the information transmission in heaven is very timely. The gods, soldiers, generals, palace maids and fairies she met along the way, all knew about this little girl who was said to have a high level of magic and was also received by the Virgin Mary of Yaochi. Therefore, no one stopped her, so she let her wander around in the sky alone.
...
The world of humanity,
At one moment, the sun has not yet appeared...
At this time, it was still a little dark, but outside the door of the Li family's mansion, there were suddenly a violent knock on the door.
But in fact, it is not very accurate to say that it is knocking on the door... Because, just someone knocking outside the door, the force and frequency used by the other party should be almost the same as saying that it is smashing the door, right?
Generally speaking, if this happens in Qiantang County, it is either to come to collect debts and seek revenge, or to arrest people from the yamen! However, this is Li Gongfu's home, and Li Gongfu is the chief constable of Qiantang County. Unless he raises the flag and rebels or accepts bribes, he is indifferent to the king's laws, who dares to come outside his house to be arrogant?
So, no matter what it is this time, it will definitely not be the things mentioned above!
"Who?!"
"Here I'm here, it's early in the morning, the sun hasn't even come out... Knock, what's the point of knocking?!"
Li Gongfu was still wearing a garment and wearing a piece of clothes on his upper body. He was rushing out of his master bedroom with a cursing look on his face, ready to open the door for someone outside who was smashing his door desperately, and give the other party a good look!
Because, except for his wife who is in the kitchen and is too busy to make breakfast for the whole family, the demons, ghosts and gods and Buddhas at home must be sleeping hard and not getting up yet! If you want to count on those guys to open the door, you will definitely not expect it.
Those guys all looked like old men...
When Li Gongfu encounters some difficult cases or things, if he asks those people for help, it will be very efficient and quick! However, like now, if you get up early in the morning and open the door, you don’t even think about it unless an enemy comes to the door!
Although, Li Gongfu is the owner of this Li family mansion...
However, in this house, he is actually like a grandson. He is almost unable to instruct his own wife... because he is the fourth disciple of Pansidong, and his magic power is much stronger than Li Gongfu, the so-called demon-subduing captain!
Originally, he was afraid of his wife, and he could be said to be respectful and afraid. But now, after just a year, after the woman's ability and ability were better than her as the captain, he became afraid and respectful...
At first glance, it seems that the statements are almost the same? But only Li Gongfu himself can deeply understand the taste of it.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Stop knocking, my newly replaced mahogany door of my Li family. If it breaks, can you afford it??"
When he walked to the back of the mahogany gate that had become more generous, Li Gongfu saw that the wooden gate was knocked and shaking, he was furious. He didn't care who was outside, and shouted loudly through the door with a dark face.
"Well? It's Xiao Liuzi, you guy...wait, are you... capsized or something?"
After opening the door, Li Gongfu saw at a glance that the person who was smashing his door hard outside the door was actually a little brother under the jurisdiction of his Captain Li in the yamen arresting room. The clever little guy among the constables?
However, what made Li Gongfu a little confused was that the other party looked very embarrassed now. In this big winter, he was covered in sewage and the kind of black mud?
Seeing the other party's appearance, Li Gongfu almost thought that the other party had gone to dig lotus roots! Of course, it was more likely that the other party accidentally capsized... because he knew that sometimes, his constables also needed to go out for business in the middle of the night, rowing across the West Lake, and taking care of those "painted boats" that like to escape supervision and other places.
"Li Head!"
"Not good! This, this, something really happened this time!!"
Seeing that the Chief Li who had been waiting for a long time finally came out to open the door, the Constable Xiaoliu shouted in a hurry with a look of panic on his face, which made many passers-by and neighbors who had woken up early come over and looked strange.
After all, a constable covered in mud, looked very embarrassed, with many blood marks on his face, as if someone was pressed into a ditch and beaten to the door of Captain Li's house, which could always attract a lot of attention.
"Big thing? What big thing can happen?"
"It's definitely not a good thing to look like you... Forget it, let's talk about it first."
The other party made it like a mud monkey and said something big. The sky is blue and white, and the world is bright, where would something happen?
Although, the day has not risen from the east now...
However, in order to avoid being watched by the chaotic people outside or listened to it, Li Gongfu did not talk much, and directly moved out of the position and signaled the other party to enter the door. Then, he closed his own door as soon as possible, blocking the peeping eyes outside from the brand new mahogany gate.
"Say, what's the matter?"
After looking up and down again, even Li Gongfu, who had just woken up, probably realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Li, Li Head... This is really a big deal this time!!"
"we……"
"The West Lake beside our Qiantang... there seems to be a big monster! Last night, the fishermen, the boatman of the ferry and the families who live by the West Lake were all eaten up by it! Now most of the houses there are empty, and all the people are gone!"
This was actually discovered last night when they went on a routine patrol.
Because this is Qiantang and is very close to Lin'an City, the requirements for public security are very strict. Therefore, patrol at fixed time at night has become one of their normal tasks, and people need to replace people in turn to do such thankless things!
In the past, when they inspected the fishing village, they would rest there for a while, drink some hot water to rest, cook two live fish, steam some crabs and prawns, and eat and drink while passing the long and difficult night...
But who would have thought that when they arrived at the small fishing village where they used to rest last night, they found something wrong!
The entire village, the small fishing village with more than 20 families living on the edge of the West Lake, was in a mess, leaving only a broken eaves and walls hidden in the dark... and, more importantly, there was not a single person there!
There are no living people, no corpses...
Of course, when they encounter such a strange thing, they must investigate it!
Therefore, they were in charge of public security and robbery and were very good at detecting them, so they quickly followed the trajectory with a torch and followed the track to investigate one village after another or the other people living alone by the lake.
What happened next, even if you think about it, can make the detective Xiaoliu feel a sense of powerless trembling in his heart.
Just one night, all the families by the lake were attacked?
But,
When they finally found the village that was like a fish-catch distribution pier leaning against West Lake, they were also attacked!
“…”
"How do you know that it was eaten by monsters?!"
But after hearing so much, Li Gongfu also knew that things were bad. It was a big deal that it was related to the lives of hundreds of people!
However, he still had a little doubt. How dare this little Liuzi determine that it was eaten by the monster instead of anything else? Could it be that... they saw it with their own eyes?
"I……"
"When my brothers who were watching me went to patrol, I was also attacked! Brother Liu, Lao Li and Shi Tou, they... they were all gone! If I hadn't been dragged into the water by that monster and I was accidentally trapped in the mud and fell down by it, I probably wouldn't have come back to report to you, Li!"
The huge black shadow in the darkness, Xiao Liuzi was so scared that he could tremble all over when he recalled it...
“!!”
"It's true, are you sure?!"
This time, Li Gongfu was really scared and didn't even care about the clothes he draped on his body falling to the ground.
He knew that there were too many monsters in the world. He also relied on his own abilities and the help of the "powers" in his family to arrest many monsters that harmed people to the Zhengdian punishment, and successfully won the title of "demon-subduing and captain".
But……
He had never heard of the great demon who had harmed hundreds of lives overnight! Not to mention him, if it was himself, if it was spread, the court in Lin'an City would be shocked, right?
"It's really sure, I almost couldn't come back!"
"How dare I deceive such a thing or use it to joke with Li Tou? It's almost dawn when I'm going to touch it. You'll know that you'll go and see it yourself!!"
Constable Xiaoliu explained a little sadly. It was not dawn this day, and it was still so cold that he had to make himself so hard and come here to joke with Li Tou?
“…”
"Have you been to inform the county magistrate Yang?"
After pondering for a while, Li Gongfu basically believed everything about the other party, so he knew that this matter was very important and asked about it.
After all, he is just a captain. Such a big thing happened in Qiantang County. It must be the county magistrate Yang. This is not a life of only two or two, nor is it something that Li Gongfu can be able to be proficient in his directness, because he cannot afford this responsibility!
"Mr. Yang?"
"Not yet! I just ran back and came in from the east gate. Let's inform you first!"
“…”
"Let's do it, come with me first and change your clothes and drink some hot water. Then I'll go to the yamen with you to inform Lord Pingyang that this matter should be fast, hurry before dawn!!"
Although I knew that this matter must have been discovered, because the city gate was now open, if what Xiao Liuzi said was true, there would definitely be chaos outside the city! And that kind of terrible news would soon be spread to the city and cause greater riots... Therefore, they must notify Yang County as soon as possible and let the other party prepare early.
Of course, this matter is not long before, at least you can change your clothes first, otherwise, this winter will freeze him to death!
"Ah...Ah!"
"Okay, okay... OK, you can do whatever you say!!"
It would be fine if Li Gongfu didn't say it. As soon as he said it, Xiao Liuzi also felt that after he ran back and stood here for a while, he felt that the sewage and mud on his body was sticky and cold... so much that he couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't know if he was scared or cold...
“Huh?”
To be continued...
