Chapter Twenty-Five: A Rare Leisure
After eating a bowl of tofu brain, the ghost cry was very dissatisfied. Because the owner of this house is an old man, not some tofu Shih Tzu.
He went to buy a few steamed buns again, and walked to the beggar's den while nibbling on them. He threw a copper coin and put it in an old beggar's bowl: "Is the old drunkard there?"
"Yes!" the old beggar silently took out the copper coin from the broken bowl and put it in the crotch of his trousers. If he scraped together enough money, it would be enough for him to buy a large cookcake.
Ghost Cry walked in with his feet up, and when he reached the innermost part of this broken courtyard, he found the old drunkard. The old drunkard lay sick and awake, but he didn't have much energy, and he didn't even drink his favorite wine.
The old drunkard raised his eyelids and looked at the ghost crying: "Yo, it's hurt?"
"Hmm. The ghost cried and nodded: "Last night, I met that fox demon." ”
"You're not dead?"
Ghost Cry raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?"
The old drunkard covered his mouth in embarrassment and coughed a few times: "Where did you meet it?"
"On board. The ghost cried and replied, "Now the boat is in a river not far from the east side of the road, and there are still some corpses on board. ”
"A few specific. ”
"Six. ”
"She sucked it all in?"
"Hmm. ”
"Hey, her appetite is a little abnormal!"
"That's true. ”
After losing her humanity, the fox demon becomes very dangerous, but only if she is hungry or if you provoke her.
The fox demon is not a cat demon, and after filling his stomach, he will not kill people indiscriminately for fun. Their motivation is simple, either to reproduce, or to survive, to eat. After filling their stomachs, they will quickly leave, return to their lair, or find a place to hide.
"Your ...... Wounds"
"It doesn't matter. Oni Cried looked at the wound on his body, and the wound had already scabbed.
"It's better to be careful, it's better to go to the hospital. ”
The corner of the ghost's mouth twitched, the old drunkard's mouth said that the medical hall was the best at treating the wounds of demonic qi infection, but the price was enough to make you feel painful: "Well, I know, I was busy all night yesterday, and now I'm tired, so I'll leave first." ”
"Ahh The old drunkard looked tired too, and yawned.
When I got home, I bandaged my wound and lay down for a morning before I recovered. I changed into clean clothes, washed my face with cold water, and the whole person was sober.
Then I cooked the rice on the fire and ate a good meal. Perhaps because of his injury, he ate more than he used to eat.
The stomach was filled, and suddenly the whole person was lazy, holding a toothpick, lying in the hammock in the small courtyard, no matter how the cold wind blew, he didn't want to move at all.
In the afternoon, someone came, a stranger, dressed like a Taoist priest.
"But the Devil Cry Layman?"
Devil Cry sat up and spat out the toothpick in his mouth, "Who are you?" ”
The Taoist said: "Poor Dao City God's Temple Anyang Dao people." ”
Ghost Cry walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened the courtyard door: "The people of the City God?"
"Exactly. ”
"Please come in. The ghost cried and waved his hand.
"Thank you, but you don't have to, just a few words, and you'll go. ”
"Please. ”
"Lord Chenghuang sent someone to find the ship, and found the blood of the fox demon on it, and then after the fortune telling, the fox demon was pregnant. ”
Ghost Cry's eyes widened: "Pregnant?"
Anyang Daoren nodded: "I'm pregnant, but there are inevitably forks in the divination, and there are times when it is not accurate, so we will investigate again." ”
Ghost Cry cheered: "What is the result?"
Anyang Daoist sighed again: "We conducted another investigation, and in the end, the result was determined, unjust!"
Anyang Daoren shook his head, a compassionate look on his face.
However, the compassionate Anyang Daoist didn't mention it to the ghost, and in order to investigate, he used soul searching to drive a few people crazy.
"What the hell is going on?"
"That fox demon, when she was in Luoyang, was already pregnant. At that time, even if the colt had already lost her, she did not complain, but followed the colt with all her heart, but the princess found that the colt was wrong and began to investigate. ”
The pony was afraid that the princess would know about the fox demon, and then he bought medicine and poisoned it. The fox demon is a demon, and it is not so easy to be poisoned, but because I believe in the colt too much, it ...... Alas!"
"Poison can poison people, but it is not so easy to poison demons. The fox demon didn't die, but the child in the womb was not so lucky, and then, the fox demon went crazy. At the time when she was recuperating from her injuries, Luoyang fell, and everyone began to flee. The fox demon looked for the smell of the horse, chased it all the way here, and after a few months, she finally found an opportunity, and after the revenge of the horse, she did not stop, but decided to save her child, so she began to fall into the devil's way. ”
"Hey, if that's the case...... "After coming to Luoyang City, Ghost Cry has also read books and learned some things about the demon world, so he knows the seriousness of the matter.
"That's right, the mother enters the devil's way, the stillborn is resurrected, once born, it will be a demon! Demons are evil, at least hundreds of people and thousands of people will die, and at worst the plague will be rampant, and the order will be chaotic. The fox demon has become a great evil, and we must kill the fox demon before the demon is born. For this reason, we have invited the Xuantian Mirror of the City God, and soon we will find out the traces of the fox demon, and when the time comes, we will also ask the ghost crying monk to help. ”
Ghost Cry nodded solemnly: "Okay." ”
Anyang Daoist showed a bright smile and saluted: "Thank you so much, and please ask the ghost crying monk to go out less recently, once we find the trace of the fox demon, we will inform the layman." ”
"Yes. ”
Anyang Daoist got the reply and left satisfied, and the ghost cried at the door of the small courtyard and fell into deep thought.
This small courtyard, the periphery is only surrounded by a wooden fence, more than half a person high, the courtyard door is also simply nailed into wood, the so-called lock, but also to block the gentleman but not the villain, adults can cross over.
Inside the yard, there is a well, a few trees, and a stable, which is an ordinary yard that cannot be more ordinary.
But for some reason, all the people who arrived at his house refused to enter the courtyard, but only wanted to talk at the gate of the courtyard, and left after talking.
The ghost cried that there was no answer, he went out to buy a vegetable, and happened to hit someone's cow and fell to death, so he bought a cow leg and bought forage, and returned home happily, making a big pot of braised beef. As a result, the so-called entanglement was instantly forgotten by him.
In the evening, he practiced the knife a few times, took a shower, brushed his horses, and fed the fodder. Then I didn't go out, I was in the yard, I lit a fire, shaved beef, roasted it, and ate supper, so I rinsed my mouth, lay down on the bed, and had a rare rest for a day.
The next day, early in the morning, he was awakened by the ringing of a long knife placed at the head of his bed. When I got around, I found a paper pigeon that landed at the head of the bed.
Paper pigeon biography?
When I opened it, I saw that it was written on the paper: Before noon, gather in Chongyang Building.
There are also small prints with the code of docking written on it.
After eating the leftovers from last night, he carried a long knife and hung it on his back, held a short knife in his arms, brought three flying knives and hid them on his body, put on a hat, put on his boots, and went out.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and it seemed that it was the end of the day.
Ghost Cry went to see his brother-in-law, heard the sound of reading inside, sighed at his brother-in-law's diligence, and then walked towards the city.
