Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 44 Strange Rain

In the blink of an eye, another three days have passed since the incident of the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts.

During these three days, Lin Ji patrolled the county town every night.

Fortunately, no ghost dared to harm people in the city.

Guo Yi, on the other hand, took advantage of these few days to go to the Qingcheng faction, preparing to take his wife back.

Lin Ji took another trip out of the county town and walked ten miles in the direction of Liangcheng. After killing some idle ghosts on the side of the road, he was a little relieved.

At noon, Qingyang County was shrouded in heavy rain.

It has been raining since the day before yesterday, and until today, it has not abated in the slightest.

On the lively streets of Qingyang County in the past, there were few ordinary people hanging out these two days.

Lin Ji walked out of the house and set up a canopy in the corner of the courtyard. Hearing the sound of big raindrops falling on the canopy, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Set up the table under the canopy, and slipped the freshly boiled water out of the kitchen.

After making tea and pouring himself a cup, Lin Ji stretched comfortably on the recliner.

After a while, Lu Cong arrived.

Both of his hands were full of lunch ingredients.

"Boss, the best pork belly and pork knuckle." Lu Cong narrowed his eyes with a smile, put the ingredients into the kitchen, and urged, "It's getting late, why don't you work?"

"What's the rush, wait for me to sit down." Lin Ji yawned and gave Lu Cong a blank look.

"Aren't we hungry?" Lu Cong laughed.

"Where's the sauced beef that I asked you to buy at Ruyi Building?" Lin Ji asked casually.

Lu Cong slapped his forehead and got up quickly.

"I forgot."

Just when Lu Cong was going out, he bumped into Guo Yi.

"Why are you in a hurry?" Guo Yi asked casually, and beside him was a beautiful girl who looked only in her early thirties and had a pretty face.

"Brother Guo, sister-in-law." Lu Cong said hello, "I'm going to Ruyi Building to buy some sauced beef."

After Lu Cong left, Guo Yi led his wife into the courtyard.

"Head."

"Boss Lin."

"Old Guo, sister-in-law, sit down wherever you want, the tea is just brewed." Lin Ji got up and said hello, "I'm about to start cooking."

"Want to help?" Mrs. Guo asked quickly.

"No need, I can do it alone." Lin Ji shrugged off with a smile.

There is no reason to ask customers to help.

After walking into the kitchen, Lin Ji seemed to remember something, and shouted to the yard next door: "Get up, come and eat later!"

"The disturbing dream in the morning is extremely abominable!" Zhong Xiaoyan's irritated voice sounded.

Lin Ji could imagine her sleepy eyes and impatient sitting up from the bed.

"It turns out that your family calls noon morning." Lin Ji said sarcastically.

Then he heard the soft-spoken persuasion from the servant girl Ling'er in the courtyard next door, and finally made Zhong Xiaoyan put down the porcelain in her hand instead of throwing it on the ground.

Zhong Xiaoyan moved next door to Lin Ji's house the day before yesterday, which is the yard bought by the Song family earlier.

This girl didn't know what was wrong, she insisted on staying in Qingyang County as a demon catcher, and the county magistrate seemed to be very polite to Zhong Xiaoyan, which shows that this girl's identity is not simple.

Seeing that he is younger than Lin Ji, he is already a third-level cultivator, so it's no wonder it's simple!
Later, Song Er heard that the new Yaochui didn't have a place to live, so he took the initiative to give away the empty house.

In the kitchen, Lin Ji quickly decomposed the ingredients.

Half of the pork belly is cut into medium-sized pieces, and the rest is directly mashed into meat paste.

Add onion, ginger water, eggs and other ingredients and stir well for later use.

Oil the pan.

After a while, the smell of meat in the kitchen wafted into the yard.

Soon, Lu Cong also came back with sauced beef.

Lin Ji picked up the sauced beef and cut it into a large plate, mixed it with balsamic vinegar and chili oil, and handed it to Lu Cong.

"Take it out and start eating. My dishes are almost ready. Bring two jars of wine out of my cellar."

"okay."

Not long after, Zhong Xiaoyan arrived with Ling'er.

The demon catchers from Qingyang County were all present, and they all hid under the canopy in the yard, chatting casually.

"Lu Cong, come in and serve the dishes!" Lin Ji's voice came from the kitchen.

Lu Cong happily trotted into the kitchen.

After a while, the two came out with the dishes.

"Braised pork, Sixi meatballs, smoldering elbow, a few home-cooked dishes to eat together."

While talking, seeing Lu Cong was about to move his chopsticks when he sat down, Lin Ji slapped him on the back of the head.

"I can't see how many vegetarian dishes there are in the kitchen, bring them all out!"

"Oh." Lu Cong put down his chopsticks aggrievedly.

Soon, everyone started to move.

Lin Ji sat down at the dining table, watching the guests move their chopsticks contentedly.

No one spoke, only the clink of chopsticks against the bowl.

"How is it?" Lin Ji asked casually as he threw a piece of braised pork into his mouth.

Lu Cong ignored Lin Ji, almost getting into the bowl.

Guo Yi gave a thumbs up with a smile, and Mrs. Guo nodded again and again.

Zhong Xiaoyan was quite surprised.

"I didn't expect you to be so skilled. It's a pity that you are a headhunter. Why don't you come and be my cook, and I will give you 100 taels a month!"

"If I become a cook, who will catch the head?"

"Me." Zhong Xiaoyan said naturally.

Lin Ji rolled his eyes, not bothering to pay attention to this weak tomboy.

After drinking and eating, the few people began to chat.

"This rain is really strange. I haven't seen such a heavy rain in Qingyang County in previous years." Lin Ji looked at the pouring rain outside, quite surprised.

"It's a little strange." Lu Cong echoed, "I grew up in the county, and I haven't seen it before."

"Besides, it rained so heavily for three days in a row. If it weren't for us being dozens of miles away from Lianghe, I'm afraid the county would have been flooded."

At this moment, Guo Yi suddenly thought of something.

"Speaking of this rain, I seem to have heard some rumors in the past two days."

"What rumor?" Lin Ji asked.

"Some people in the county commented that the river god of Lianghe was angry, and that the rain would stop only by offering sacrifices to the river god." When Guo Yi said this, he was a little embarrassed.

Lin Ji even laughed dumbfounded.

Lu Cong asked puzzled, "Boss, what are you laughing at?"

"Yeah, what are you laughing at?" Zhong Xiaoyan also asked from the side.

"The so-called river god is just transformed by some monsters. It's just passed on by the common people. Lao Guo, you also believe this."

"I just mentioned it casually." Guo Yi smiled and waved his hands.

Lin Ji looked at Lu Cong again, frowning: "Let you read more books at ordinary times, but you can't read more about ghosts and ghosts in Tiansi Supervising Division! Such a grown-up man, he makes a fuss about everything, so it's not shameful to lose face. "

Lu Cong was used to being scolded by Lin Ji, so he just smiled.

But Lin Ji's eyes swept over Zhong Xiaoyan intentionally or unintentionally.

How can this be tolerated.

"What do you think I am doing?" Zhong Xiaoyan was furious, she always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what she just said.

"Accidentally saw it, sorry." Lin Ji apologized without sincerity.

But at this moment, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open.

Song Er led an old man quickly into the yard.

"Boss, this is a refugee who escaped from Lianghe County, just listen to him." Song Er pushed the old man forward.

The old man knelt down on the ground consciously.

"My lord, this rain is the river god's anger, so take care of it!"
