Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 127
After Zhang Xiu's kind persuasion, the people in the yard finally opened the door.

An old man came out to meet him. He looked at Zhang Xiu and Xia'er tremblingly, and felt that he didn't look like a monster, so he was relieved and asked, "Are you two celestial masters who catch monsters?"

Zhang Xiu straightened his face, put on a solemn and dignified look, and said, "I am the City God of Jinhua Mansion, hurry up and serve up your family's good wine and food, I have been tired all day, and I want to eat Already!"

The old man's wrinkled cheeks twitched twice: "..."

City God?It's almost like a starving ghost!

The old man looked at Zhang Xiu dressed as a peasant in coarse cloth, and didn't believe this kind of nonsense at all, but Xia'er beside him was dressed in a fairy-tale, noble appearance, he didn't dare to take it easy, forced a smile and said: "You two Please come in, don't dislike my shabby home."

Zhang Xiu hummed, looked at Bai Ling at the door, and asked, "Old man, who died in your family?"

The old man sighed sadly: "Oh, it's my poor little son. He went to work in the field yesterday and didn't come back after dark. We went to the field to look for him, but we only found his body, half of his head was gnawed off. indivual."

As he spoke, the old man burst into tears and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Zhang Xiu walked to the hall and saw the corpse lying on the straw mat covered with a white cloth. She stepped forward and opened it to have a look. As expected, half of the head had been gnawed off and the brain inside had been sucked dry. The state of death was very miserable.

The old man was taken aback by Zhang Xiu's actions, and hurriedly said: "Your honored guest, don't touch my dead body!"

Zhang Xiu looked at the jagged wounds on the head of the corpse, and said, "Sure enough, he was gnawed to death by a monster, Xia'er, can you find his hiding place?"

Xia'er shook her head: "I have to see that monster, or know his birth date, to figure out where he is hiding."

Zhang Xiu sighed slightly, and said: "This is not easy, it's a pity that Zhao Ji's big head is not there, otherwise let him go outside and lie on the ground, the monster will definitely take the bait."

Xia'er couldn't help laughing, and said: "Yan Feng's head is not small, do you want to bring him in for a try?"

Zhang Xiu pursed her lips and shook her head: "I'm afraid Yan Feng can't do it. He has a big head and a small brain, so monsters don't necessarily like to eat."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the old man asked hesitantly: "You two, are you really monster hunters?"

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "This can be false, I am the real City God!"

The old man's son died tragically. At this time, he was a little sick and rushed to the doctor. He knelt down and said, "Master Chenghuang, you must catch the monster and avenge my son!"

Zhang Xiu helped him up and said, "Don't worry, old man, I'll go catch the demon when I'm full!"

The old man nodded happily, hurried into the house, and asked his wife to cook.

Not long after, he came out with a few vegetables and a plate of scrambled eggs, put them on the table, and said with some embarrassment: "My family is poor, so don't let the City God despise you."

Zhang Xiu nodded, and ate together with Xia'er, hiccupped after eating, and said, "I've already eaten the rice, now it's time to catch the monster."

The old man hurriedly asked: "Master Chenghuang, do you need to prepare something, black dog blood or chicken blood, I will get it for you, I think the Taoist priests from the village used to have these things!"

Zhang Xiu waved her hands confidently: "You don't need to prepare anything, just a little monster, I can kill him with my bare hands!"

The old man nodded with a smile, and was about to answer, but then froze in place: "...??"

Listening to this, there seems to be something wrong!

A while later, the old man led Zhang Xiu and the two to Li Hualong's home.

Li Hualong was the only survivor who had seen the appearance of the monster. Zhang Xiu came to him to draw a portrait of the monster.

This Li Hualong was born with bushy eyebrows, big eyes, and a burly figure, but he was naturally timid. After meeting the monster, he never dared to go out again when he returned home.

Under Zhang Xiu's questioning, Li Hualong stammered as he described the monster's appearance.

Soon, a portrait of a beast head and human body was drawn. The kobold's mouth was full of fangs, and his eyes were fierce. Just looking at the portrait, one can feel extremely ferocious.

Li Hualong was amazed again and again: "Like, really like!"

Zhang Xiu turned around and asked with a puzzled look, "Are you sure he looks like this?"

Li Hualong said firmly: "Exactly the same, exactly!"

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "You knocked out two teeth of this monster. He came to seek revenge on you. Because of you, innocent villagers were implicated. How do you feel?"

Li Hualong's face showed a deep shame, mixed with a little fear, and stammered: "I, I also feel very uncomfortable, but...but what can I do?"

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "I have a way to catch this monster, but this matter still needs your cooperation."

Li Hualong hurriedly said: "As long as I can catch that monster, you can ask me to do anything!"

Zhang Xiu smiled and whispered a few words to him. After hearing this, Li Hualong's expression suddenly became strange.

Half an hour later, the stench filled the whole village. Old man Li rushed over from home holding his nose, looked at the iron pot set up in Li Hualong's yard, and asked with his mouth pursed, "Li Hualong, what are you cooking in your pot?" , why is it so stinky, you boil shit!"

Li Hualong smiled wryly: "Your old man really guessed it."

The old man was blindfolded immediately: "Are you really cooking shit?!"

Li Hualong grumbled helplessly, and said, "That city god said, dogs can't change eating shit, let me cook a pot of shit, and lure that monster over."

The old man's cheeks twitched violently twice, feeling that he might have encountered a liar.

At his age, he has never heard of cooking shit to catch monsters!
Turning around and looking around, the old man asked, "Where are those two people?"

Li Hualong said: "It's already gone. Before leaving, the City God said that as long as the monster shows up, he will naturally show up."

The old man couldn't laugh or cry, he waved his hand and said, "Turn off the fire quickly, we probably encountered a liar."

Li Hualong struggled for a while, and said, "Then I'll pour the shit out first, and your old man will help me put out the fire first."

The old man nodded in response, and after Li Hualong took the iron pot away, he squatted down, pinched his nose and turned off the fire.

After a while, the watered firewood was slowly extinguished, and the firewood that had been burned into charcoal slowly released wisps of white smoke.

Just as he was about to get up, suddenly, a black shadow enveloped his thin body.

The old man was startled, turned around, only to find that it was Li Hualong, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Why don't you make any movement when you walk, you scared me."

A strange smile appeared on Li Hualong's face. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Xiu walked in from the door with a smile.

Seeing Zhang Xiu walking in from the door, Li Hualong was startled for a moment, and asked, "Master Chenghuang, why are you back?"

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "I'm here to catch the demon."

Li Hualong shuddered, hunched his neck and looked around: "The monster is here? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Ask the question knowingly, isn't the monster just you, Li Hualong!"
