"What's the point of seeing the monkey? Why don't you care about what to eat tonight!"

"...I remember the last time I came to Jishi Town, your fellow villager's house held a banquet. There were big chunks of mutton. Now I think about it and want to eat it."

"By the way, you eight younger generations may not know that the meat is roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, the oily smell is very fragrant, and the mutton smell is just right."

In the open bookshelf, the toad Taoist drooped his legs, and the frogs were wielding and talking about Northwest food to Lu Pan outside. From the way down the mountain to the fastest to Jishi Town, he kept talking.

Let Qingfeng cover his ears and mutter: "If you don't listen, don't listen, the toad will recite the scriptures."

The copper bell in front jingles and jingles.

The orange glow sprinkled in the distance, and the outline of a small town could be vaguely seen. Lu Liangsheng looked at the map carved paper in his hand. It should be Jishi Town in front. He came once two years ago and approached the town. There were more and more pedestrians, so he suppressed his voice and turned around.

"Master, don't talk for the time being, so as not to scare others. The town will be in the middle of the day. Let's have a meal first when we stay in the inn."

On the other side, the nagging words were interrupted. Taoist Toad rose up and looked at the front, consciously closing the "小" sound from the small door. The sound came from the inside: "I'll call you a teacher after dinner!"

When he heard about eating, Lu Pan and the eight people were already screaming in their stomachs. They followed their nephews excitedly into the intersection of the town. The air was dry and smelly. There were few pedestrians coming and going on the long street. Flies and insects were buzzing around. Walking through the streets, most of the people they met occasionally looked hurried, and some vendors were building wooden boards to close their doors.

"Liangsheng, there is an inn over there!" Lu Pan saw the flag with white characters floating in the blue background in front of him, and tweaked the knife at his waist, "Hey, why is it closed!"

Under the banner, the Hu man, who was wrapped in white towel, saw a group of people coming from the street. The wooden boards he brought were quickly built to the store door. The last piece was about to be embedded in the threshold. A big hand was pressed on it. Suddenly, the guy inside screamed, "Ouch!" and pressed the wooden boards down to the ground, falling all over and over.

There were also guests staying at the shop for dinner. When they heard the movement, they frowned. When they stood up, they saw a few sturdy men squeezing into the shop, each with open chests and abdomen, carrying weapons on their backs. They continued to speak with their companions with their expressions and sat back.

"Uncle Pan, what's going on?"

Lu Liangsheng's words came from outside, and Lu Pan hurriedly shouted: "It's okay, this guy's feet are unstable and he fell down."

Fearing that his nephew was blamed, he quickly stepped forward and lifted the guy on the ground with one hand, put it on the ground, and patted his clothes.

"I said you closed the door, as if you saw a ghost. We came to stay in the hotel, and it was not a bad guy who entered the city."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The guy glanced at the chests of the big men who came in, and watched the chest muscles beating left and right. He swallowed, nodded repeatedly, and invited them in without mentioning the abnormality just now.

"I'm so stupid. Don't be angry, please please in."

Lu Liangsheng also walked in and gave the guy two coins to the backyard to help him take the old donkey to feed some grass. The inn in the town is not big, with clear bottoms and uppers. The second and third floors are surrounded by the surroundings, and you can see the highest dome from the hall at a glance.

Lu Pan, who had sat on the table there, had already called another guy to order food. Lu Liangsheng took Qingfeng to sit next to him. The little man was well-behaved and clever. He took the chopstick cage and respectfully placed it for his master first. Then he sat on the bench, hung his little feet and whispered: "Master, this town is a bit weird."

"Um."

Lu Liangsheng didn't have many other expressions on his face, but he just sat there quietly with his hands on his knees. He came here two years ago. The street was noisy and prosperous. Even at night, there were still many pedestrians. How long has it been like this?

After ordering the name of the dish, the inn became quiet and there were rustling diners around him. After entering the realm of Shentong, the scholar was very sensitive. There were many merchants on the first floor of the inn to eat and talk about some experiences. The other party's slight voice could not escape Lu Liangsheng's ears.

"...This town is weird."

"When I walked here last month, this was not the case."

"I heard that there was a monster in the town. I came this morning. I had to wait for a day or two, so I got off the bed and wandered outside. I heard from people nearby that two families had died and their blood was sucked clean."

"How long did it take?"

"In just two or three days, the gentry in the town has sent people to Hezhou to report to the officials. I don't know if I have returned."

"I'm looking at it... It's better to leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning. Making money is important."

Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting there, listened to the news received by the vendors around him and pieced together a roughly one. Two families died in two consecutive days, almost six people. If they got sick, they would not die like this. It was really possible that there was a monster in it.

In the past two days... is it related to Gongsun Liao's convening of a group of monsters?

"The demon king summoned a group of monsters, and some monsters who liked to eat people would inevitably come out." The scholar's sleeve was covered with toad Taoist Pancheng, half-squinted his eyes, and he didn't care about what happened in this town. "If you want to take care of it, you will be useless to persuade the teacher anyway."

"Since you pass by, you must pay attention... Well, Master, can you hear those diners talking?"

The shop guy brought the dishes to the table. Lu Liangsheng used chopsticks to tear a piece of roasted lamb chop, handed them off his sleeve, shook it gently, a scarlet long tongue rolled over the diced meat and dragged it into his mouth. The Toad Taoist changed his position and lit up his white belly and lying on his back. While chewing, he said, "I have repaired the demon pill."

"Master is serious. What exactly should Gongsun Liao do to summon the demons?"

Lu Liangsheng pinched the chopsticks and stared at the dishes on the table. The chopsticks were hanging in his hand, and he picked up a bite of the dishes and ate them in his sleeve. The toad in his sleeve snorted.

"How can I know...oh no, when did I become unreasonable? I really repair the demon pill, why don't you believe it?"

It seemed that he had not heard the toad's words. Lu Liangsheng suddenly snapped his chopsticks and slapped the table. He was so scared that Qingfeng, who was holding a sheep rib, almost stood on the bench.

Lu Pan and the eight others at the table behind also stopped shouting and urging to drink, and looked at each other.

"Liangsheng, what's the matter?"

"I'll go out for a while. After eight uncles and uncles finish eating, they will open a few rooms to rest first, so there is no need to wait for me." Lu Liangsheng looked at Qingfeng, "The same goes for you."

After saying that, he took a piece of sheep bone, got up and pushed the door out. It was already dark. Lu Liangsheng handed the sheep bone to his master who was climbing onto his shoulders and walked along the long street. The road was paved with bluestone slabs. In the silent town, the sound of hard steps stomping on it showed a little weird.
