Chapter 25
When the platform under his feet stopped again, an iron gate was added in front of Lu Jiu.
Through the diamond-shaped holes in the door and the bright lights on the other side, Lu Jiu could see most of the decorations in the house.
Scream~ Scream~
Before he could take a few glances, the weasels who had been dating all the way suddenly became irritable, as if they were frightened, and began to constantly rush into the bamboo cage.
Lu Jiu was not surprised by this, because Yin Yue next to him was now full of panic and kept shrinking back to him. What is the reason...
Just in the middle of the room facing the iron gate, there was a wolf beast skeleton nearly two meters high. Although the back and limbs were connected by metal tubes and rivets, making the entire skeleton look a bit inconsistent, the remaining ferocity of the pale skull roaring towards them and the sharp teeth still made people stand up.
Obviously, this is also a monster, and it is undoubtedly a warning to the person entering the door.
I asked myself that the guy who can't beat this wolf demon should put his position right after entering the door!
The facts proved that this method was very effective. At least weasel and Yin Yue were both frightened by it, while Lu Jiu himself just felt excited and thought that this trip was not in vain.
Raising his hand, he pulled the switch on the wall on the right side of the iron gate. Lu Jiu could hear the ringing ringing in the house. After a while, the iron gate in front of him slowly opened.
Lu Jiu walked in with the constantly shaking bamboo cage first. Yin Yue hesitated for two seconds, but chose to keep up.
The layout of this hidden room is not complicated. Putting aside the eye-catching wolf demon skeleton, there are actually only two windows and several wooden cabinets, but the things inside are a bit special. For example, in the window in front of Lu Jiu, there are five glass bottles with eyeballs on the highest floor.
Judging from the size and color, they are obviously not related to humans.
"Mr. Lu, I..."
Yin Yue is undoubtedly a person who has seen the world, but when faced with these curious things, she subconsciously clenched Lu Jiu's sleeves with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, as if she could spit it out at any time.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can go down and wait in the porcelain shop first."
Since she has found the place, Yin Yue has completed her mission as a tool.
Surprisingly, the latter just shook his head when he heard this, trying to turn his gaze to other parts of the room, and no longer look at the strange things in the house.
"Is anyone here?"
After waiting for a while, I still didn't see anyone, so Lu Jiu could only ask.
As soon as he finished speaking, a wooden door on the inside of the room suddenly opened. First, a sound of boiling liquid came out. Lu Jiu moved two steps to the side and could see some glassware placed in the room. Before he could see clearly what it was, his vision was completely blocked by the old woman who appeared at the door.
Her age looks a little bigger than the old man who looks at the porcelain shop on the second floor. Her hair is already gray, her hooked nose and thin lips make her face full of gullies look a little ugly. At first glance, it makes people feel uncomfortable to get along with.
However, Lu Jiu had to admit that the spirit she showed was completely different from that of an ordinary old woman. She was holding a brown-red wooden stick and wearing a valuable cloth robe. Not to mention her waist, her eyes were clearer than those of a young man. Just standing there, she could naturally give people a strange sense of oppression.
Could it be that it is like the Crow and Ruan Qingyu?
An elderly person of this age can show such a posture. Lu Jiu would not believe that he does not have extraordinary ability to interfere.
"The monster that is not as good as a monster... is actually a weasel. This is interesting. I collected 30 silver dollars, put the things on the counter, and take the money with the people below."
The old woman didn't talk to the two of them, but just glanced at the bamboo cage in Lu Jiu's hand and spoke directly.
The weasel, which was still jumping the previous second, was completely silent at this time. Lu Jiu lifted the black cloth and found that it was huddling in a corner, trembling.
"30 silver dollars, but I spent two golden leaves."
When Yin Yue heard the old woman’s offer, she widened her eyes and fell into self-doubt.
"We are not here to sell monsters. It was raised by this lady. It was just that she suddenly became crazy recently. Not only was she not obedient, but she also hurt others. She just wanted to correct this state. Of course, this lady is very willing to pay for it."
Lu Jiu walked forward a few steps, placed the bamboo cage on the counter, and turned around to signal Yin Yue to come over quickly.
"There are not many people coming to me to treat monsters."
As the old woman spoke, she walked to the back of the window, raised her hand and knocked on the glass, opened the cage and lifted the weasel over. The latter didn't even dare to make a threatening scream at this time, but just drooped into a ball of soft flesh and allowed the old woman to knead it.
Only then did Lu Jiu realize that her palms were not as skinny as other old people, and they looked particularly powerful. There were obvious calluses on the second knuckles of the tiger's mouth and index finger. It was obvious that she was a person who held a knife all year round.
The room full of monsters' corpses and organs, plus the hand that holds swords for many years, Lu Jiu immediately realized what she was planning to buy a weasel for 30 silver dollars just now. It's no wonder that the weasel that had struggled hard in her hands before did not even have the intention to resist.
This is already desperate.
"Ha, this weasel has been specially bred. The stench that was originally used to poison people has become a scent that can confuse people. Do you rely on it to seduce men?"
After fiddling around for a few times, the old woman did not mean to avoid the man Lu Jiu, and did not care how embarrassed Yin Yue's expression was. She continued,
"You must have committed this beast's taboo somewhere, either because you are late for offering sacrifices or want to harm it. You should be glad that you raise a weasel. This beast is quite spiritual. It is not easy to live by yourself if you change it to another monster. I am afraid that the grass on your grave should be cleaned up... Ordinary people dare to raise monsters, and they think they have a long life?"
"I was very busy for two days because I was competing for the courtesan. I forgot to offer sacrifices to Wong Tai Sin. Later, because something happened in the building, I secretly put rat poison in the offering bowl last night. Can I help me? I am willing to give out 30 silver dollars, just let it continue to be obedient!"
Speaking of this, Yin Yue knew that it would be meaningless to continue hiding it, so she simply opened the story.
Lu Jiu now understood the source of the smell he smelled at the inn the night before yesterday, and why the weasel suddenly killed the woman who usually serves it to eat and drink.
"You all say it's Wong Tai Sin. Do you think it's a kitten and puppy raised in your family? The weasel that has become a sperm is the most revenge. Although it looks like it's slaughtered by others, it's actually a very hated you. He was suppressed just now, so he didn't dare to act rashly. When it's time to be alone with you, you will understand how fierce this beast is!"
Pointing to Lu Jiu who was not talking beside him, the old woman suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head to look at the former,
"You don't seem to be influenced by such insignificant people, and I can see that you two are not familiar with each other at all. If you bring people here, what's your purpose?"
"Of course I will come if I have something to ask for."
