Jinguang City, Mingjia Town, Green Willow Village!

Mingjia Town is a city that belongs to the forces of the rivers and lakes, and like Sujia Town, the actual population of its name town is more than 200,000. The Ming family army guarding the city in the city is well-trained, and the Ming family is also a family known for its military force, and a family rules a city that echoes the Taoist Yuhuamen five hundred miles away, and is a golden city that is an alliance to fight against the imperial court forces.

Compared with the Su family, which has only emerged in the last ten years, it has already dominated the entire city decades ago, and has its own set of rules for many years, although killing and fighting are not prohibited in the city, it is also in order.

Green Willow Village is located about 30 miles outside its southwest side, which is not very far from here, and the population of the village is nearly 10,000. Although it is still nominally under the jurisdiction of Jinguang City, it is actually secretly controlled by the Ming family, and every year and month, it must pay the same taxes as the surrounding villages and the gangs attached to the Ming family.

It was the middle of winter, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the heavy snow almost everywhere covered the entire Zhuangzi, and even a small river nearby was directly frozen.

However, what really frightened the people of the village was not the weather that could almost freeze the beggar to death, but some strange things that happened recently!

This strange thing has not been a short time, and the Ming family has also sent people over several times, and in desperation, they even sent a reward to ask the heroes of the rivers and lakes who passed by to help, but now it still makes the residents of the village frightened!

It's noon!

Xiao Sha, who had been on the road for more than ten days, sat in one of the few restaurants in the village with the previous twenties-year-old dough and a slightly thick brown suit, eating food while looking at the villagers passing by outside, feeling that something was not quite right.

He was a newcomer to the Zhuangzi before, and as soon as he arrived, he found that the people in this Green Willow Village were a little abnormal, and the tension and worry on the faces of the villagers here were clear to everyone, and sometimes they could even startle people as long as they spoke loudly.

This is a bit abnormal, it stands to reason that living in such a bizarre world, many people should be very receptive, but ......

While observing, three or two men in their thirties with swords in hand at the door of the restaurant stepped in, directly picked a table not far from him and sat down, leaning on the table with the weapons in their hands. ”

"Whatever"

The leader of a man in his thirties with a beard on his face took out two small pieces of silver from his thin placket and threw them directly to him, Xiao Er stretched out his hand to catch it and was slightly stunned: "Guest officer, three taels of silver is a bit much, we don't have any special delicacies in this poor mountain and bad water, these three taels of silver are enough to eat for half a month." ”

The man grinned and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth: "Don't be polite to us, you will accept it if you give it to you, the rest of the money after eating this meal is yours, my brothers just came here today and asked you about something." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Erben's smile froze for a moment because he met the guest, and then he sighed, straightened up and respectfully hugged his fists towards the three men like Jianghu people.

The man obviously couldn't get used to this kind of pretending, and frowned a little displeased: "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

"Villain He Song, first give a salute to the three righteous men, thank you for the heroes and heroines from all over the world who came to help during this time, thank you."

"What do you mean?"

The man, who was puzzled by his words, scratched his head a little unclear about the situation: "We haven't asked you about the matter yet, how do you know that we are here to help?" ”

"The guest officer doesn't know, we are not famous in the middle of nowhere, and the guests who come and go here during this time have nothing else to do except for that incident."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the man glanced at the other two on the side, looked at Xiao Er again and said with some amusement: "Then tell me what is the matter?" If you say what your brother said before, and make a count, the rest of the three taels of silver after eating is yours, if you don't say it, you please. ”

"Then thank you first."

This little second seems to have been a little second for many years, and he knows how to deal with these customers, and when he heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "There was a man-eating monster near us half a year ago, first eating the owner's family, and then eating a scholar's family, and then the disaster spread, and every other month it will eat the entire family." ”

"After it ate people for the third time, although we have reported to the Ming family in time, the Ming family also sent two masters of the Open Pulse Realm to investigate, but those two people disappeared as soon as they found out some clues."

"After that, the Ming family sent five masters of the Kaimai realm, which are said to be higher in martial arts, and came to search with five hundred soldiers, but they were unlucky not to find it."

"Since then, due to the lack of manpower and the fact that the masters of the Ming family have not been able to make a move for a while, the Ming family Zhang Bang issued a bounty of 10,000 taels to invite the masters of the rivers and lakes who passed by to come to help, and if someone completely eradicates the trouble, they can get a bounty of 10,000 taels."

"Since then, there have been a lot more people in the rivers and lakes who have come and gone here, and the villain has seen that the three of them are extraordinary and armed with weapons, and they are all here for this like everyone else, I don't know if what they said is right?"

When Xiao Er spoke, he seemed to be a little loud for courage, attracting the people around him to look over, and at the same time, he seemed to be too little enough after speaking, and added: "The guest officer asked the villain why he bowed before, but it was actually a kind of gratitude from the villain to your righteousness. ”

"In fact, not only the villains, but also our shopkeepers, as well as the fathers and villagers who live here, are like this, if it weren't for the thought in my heart, maybe one day two big masters will get rid of that scourge, and we would have become an empty village here. After all, no one can give up the family property handed down by the ancestors, and our shopkeeper is not here now, otherwise I know that a few people are here to help, and I have to give you a discount to the guest officer."

"I see!"

After hearing this, the yellow-toothed man smiled with satisfaction: "In this way, you can be regarded as a simple people, knowing that you are using your life to eliminate evil, and you also know that you are grateful, and you are good people." ”

Xiao Er bent down politely: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, it doesn't matter if the villains are good or bad now, I just want the heroes to get rid of that scourge as soon as possible." Since the death of the owner's family, it has been Lu Shusheng's family, then the Bai family and the Zhang family, and Miss Lin's family in Zhuangnan also died last month, and the tragic situation ......"

"This month is about to reach the end of the month, we are all panicking, I don't know which one is next, and now everyone dares to come out to do business during the day, and at night they don't even dare to go out, if they don't get rid of the murderous thing, the villain's family has to get out of here."
