Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 34 Wonderful
At the foot of a remote mountain, it was bustling with people, at least there were more than [-] people at the scene.

Among them were the people summoned by the county government, and many of them came spontaneously.

Most of the people have weapons such as sticks and harpoons in their hands to deal with cat demons.

Standing in the field, Zhou Yu shouted to all the yamen servants and the people: "Listen up, everyone, the cat demon is hiding under here.

There used to be a tomb here, which was occupied by a cat demon as a lair.

After investigation, there are three holes in the lair, everyone spread out to guard the hole, we must not let the cat demon escape..."

In fact, it was thanks to Ying Ning that he was able to find the den.

Last night, it was Ying Ning who secretly frightened away the cat demon and saved the life of the beater and the three yamen servants.

After that, he quietly tracked and found the hiding place of the cat demon.

When everything was ready, Zhou Yu waved vigorously: "Okay, start lighting the fire!"

The three cave entrances were filled with firewood, which was mixed with tung oil, sulfur, etc., and the smoke was blown into the cave...

In short, it is to use this method to force the cat demon out.

In less than a cup of tea, Zhou Yu successfully completed the first kill: a cat demon just jumped out from the entrance of the cave he was guarding, and was anxious to escape.

Zhou Yu has long been prepared for battle, so how can he allow the cat demon to escape?

With quick eyes and quick hands, he cut the cat monster into two pieces with one sword.

Soon, another cat demon ran out of another hole... As soon as it emerged, a rope net was placed under its hood, followed by a flurry of sticks.

In the end, a total of four cat demons were killed.

Zhou Yu was worried, and when the smoke cleared, he asked a group of people to dig.

After digging a large pit, it was discovered that there were more than a dozen corpses inside, obviously not the original tomb owner.

Fortunately, the cat demon has been eliminated, and the common people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, it is necessary to express some gratitude to Master Zhou and the servants.

That afternoon, Zhou Yu received an invitation to a dinner party.

The one who invited him to drink was a better friend named Sun Zhongxin.

When he arrived at the appointed restaurant, Zhou Yu discovered that there were still a few acquaintances in the private room, all of whom were scholars in the city.

One of them was Wang Sheng, who had been classmates with the original owner for several years, and they had always had a good relationship.

"Brother Zhou is here, little brother is very honored..."

"Unexpectedly, brother Zhou also knows how to catch monsters. It's really admirable..."

"Yes yes yes, now that the demon is gone, it's all thanks to Brother Zhou..."

"Ashamed ashamed..."

As soon as they met, there was a lot of courtesy to each other.

After sitting down, Zhou Yu couldn't help but glanced at Wang Sheng who was sitting beside him, and asked with a frown, "My dear brother, why do you feel like you're so angry? Are you sick?"

"It's all right, maybe... a little bit of cold symptoms."

"Brother Wang, you need to take care of your health..."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your concern..."

Having said that, Zhou Yu always felt that something was wrong with Wang Sheng.

During the banquet, they also looked out of their minds, not talking and laughing like before, with witty remarks.

Inadvertently, Zhou Yu thought of Ning Caichen.

Because Wang Sheng's demeanor at this moment is very similar to that of Ning Caichen when he just came back from Lanruo Temple.

Is it...

As soon as he had this thought, Zhou Yu excused himself and said, "Since brother Wang is sick, it's better to drink less."

Wang Sheng nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Brother Zhou is right."

"It's better to let Brother Yu help you feel the pulse..."

Without waiting for Wang Sheng's response, Zhou Yu grabbed Wang Sheng's wrist and began to feel his pulse.

After a while, he let go of his hand, and said calmly: "From the pulse condition, my brother is a little weak and weak, you need to pay more attention to take care of your body."

"Thank you brother Zhou for reminding..."

After the banquet was over, Zhou Yu quickly caught up with Wang Sheng and dragged him to a secluded place.

"I wonder if my virtuous brother has had any adventures recently?"

Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, his expression obviously a little unnatural: "Ah? I don't know... I don't know what brother Zhou meant?"

"Hehe, virtuous brother, can you hide it from others, and you can also hide it from brother Yu? I knew from your pulse before, that my virtuous brother must have fallen into a land of tenderness and cannot extricate himself..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng finally stopped pretending and had a showdown.

"Oh, I know I can't hide it from Brother Zhou..."

Speaking of this, Wang Sheng glanced around subconsciously, then leaned forward and whispered: "To tell you the truth, Brother Zhou, I recently met a wonderful person..."

"Wonderful person?"

"Wonderful, wonderful..."

While speaking, Wang Sheng's eyes were full of splendor, with a look of endless aftertaste.

"Brother, this is your fault. Since there is such a wonderful person, why don't you introduce him to Brother Yu?"

Zhou Yu didn't want to be Cao Cao, but mainly suspected the other party's identity.

"This... Brother Zhou, it's not because I don't want to, but she is not a fireworks girl..."

After Wang Sheng's explanation, Zhou Yu knew the whole story.

A few days ago, Wang Sheng got up early in the morning and went for a walk by the river.

While walking, I suddenly found a woman about twenty years old walking towards me.

Wearing a long silk dress, her skin is creamy, her face is like a peach blossom, her figure is graceful and graceful, and her steps are like lotus willows swaying in the wind, which made Wang Sheng a little distracted.

He had never seen such a beautiful and charming woman.

It has both the innocence of a girl and a mature style, fresh and refined yet enchanting and charming.

Seeing the woman walking alone with a package, with a preoccupied look on her face, her heart itch was unbearable for a while, so she took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Little lady, Xiaosheng is very polite."

The woman paused and frowned: "I don't know what's the matter, young master?"

"Xiaosheng saw the little lady walking alone early in the morning, with frowning frowns, did he encounter any troubles?"

The woman sighed: "We met by chance, we have never met before, so why bother to ask?"

Wang Sheng smiled, turned around and took two steps, then turned back again.

"It's the so-called first time life, second time acquaintance, little lady, this is the second time we have met..."

"Pfft~" The woman was amused.

He quickly stretched out his small pale hand to cover his lips.

"Young master is really amusing."

The woman's smile made Wang Sheng fascinated and out of his mind, and said in a vowed tone: "Young lady, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, Xiaosheng will definitely help you with all your strength."

The woman sighed again: "It's only my parents who are greedy for money and sold my concubine to a wealthy family.

In the past few years, the concubine has been bullied by the main house.

I wanted to bear the burden of humiliation and muddle along.It never occurred to me that the master passed away suddenly, and the body was still cold, so the main house wanted to sell the concubine to someone else.

The concubine couldn't bear such humiliation, so she escaped..."

Hearing these words, Wang Sheng was overjoyed and pretended to ask: "Then I don't know if the little lady has a place to go?"

The woman shook her head sadly: "It's impossible to go back to my mother's house, and I don't know where I'm going. I'm not old enough to live in a brothel..."

"No! The little lady is a beautiful woman, how can she lightly talk about falling into prostitution.

Although Xiaosheng is not talented, he is considered to have some family property.If the little lady doesn't dislike it, she can live temporarily in the humble house. "

Hearing this, the woman looked happy, but also worried: "But I don't know if your wife can accommodate a concubine?"

"It doesn't matter, Xiaosheng has a separate Meilin study connected to the backyard, except for the maid who cleans it every two or three days on weekdays, no one bothers her.

The little lady can temporarily stay in the study, and the madam will find a chance to talk to her in detail..."
