I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 143 Skinning
When Yu Taiqing went out this time, besides Chu Xian and Di Chen, another school lieutenant, Chen Ying, also followed.

After all, Lei Yan was worried about Yu Taiqing and ordered Chen Ying to keep an eye on him.

Yu Taiqing is someone who cannot use spells easily, and Di Chen is someone who relies on Yu Taiqing's guidance to use spells.In this way, the two of them relied more on Chu Xian and Chen Ying to arrive at the foot of Chongwu Mountain before sunset a few days later.

The entire Chongwu Mountain is immersed in the hazy mist, but it can still be seen that there are many strange peaks and steep walls.

There was a town not far ahead, and Yu Taiqing knew that if she missed Shuanma Town, it would be difficult to find a place to stay before dark, so she decided to settle in the town temporarily.

Shuanma Town is the nearest town to Chongwu Mountain. It is said that if you go further, the mountain road is so steep that horses cannot climb it.If you want to go up the mountain, you have to tie your horses to the town, hence the name Shuanma Town.

The town is very small, with only one north-south street and a slightly larger inn.

The first floor of the inn is a restaurant. Yu Taiqing, Chu Xian, Di Chen, and Chen Ying occupied a table and ordered food and drinks.

On the table on the right, there are two hunter-like men, one looks to be in his 30s, and the other is younger, drinking.

The young Orion didn't speak, just drank the wine blindly, with a gloomy expression on his face.

The older man picked up a peanut, chewed it and said, "Brother, you don't have to be too sad. Since Mrs. Yuan San doesn't like you, why don't you insist on marrying her?"

The young Orion drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, put it on the table with a "snap", and said bitterly: "Brother Ding, you know that Cuixiu obviously likes me very much, and Village Chief Yuan also agreed to it earlier." But as long as I hunted the black bear, I promised to give Cuixiu to me, but who knows, he turned his face and refused now."

Brother Ding sighed helplessly, and said: "Zhuzi, you have no engagement, just a verbal promise. Now, Lao Yuan has another candidate, so what can you do if you turn your face. Besides, I heard that the man's The betrothal gifts have all been delivered to Village Chief Yuan’s house, and there are two big boxes full of gold, silver, jewellery, and silk cloth. You only have an old bear skin, tell me, how can Old Yuan stay the same?”

"Isn't he selling a girl?" The young Orion Zhuzi's words were full of contempt, but there was a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

Brother Ding drank the wine glass and sighed, "If I had such a big girl, I would sell it too. Then the two big boxes of betrothal gifts are enough for us in the mountains to spend half our lives."

Yu Taiqing felt a little strange.

As the saying goes, people who rely on mountains eat mountains.In this desolate and remote town, most of the families depend on hunting for a living. How could there be such a wealthy family with such a generous betrothal gift.

It happened that the waiter from the inn came over to serve food, Di Chen leaned over and asked, "I don't know who the man mentioned over there is, why is he so rich?"

The waiter at the shop saw that a few people were foreigners and knew that they didn't know what happened, so he explained: "They are not locals, but just like you, they came from other places. It is said that the family is in the silk business and has a lot of family background."

"A foreigner came to this valley to marry a wife?" Chu Xian felt more and more strange.

"It's not marriage, it's marriage." The waiter said.

A man from other places, let alone a wealthy family, even a poor family, most likely would not want to marry into the valley.

The shop waiter seemed to understand their confusion, glanced at Ding Erge and Zhuzi, and said in a low voice, "Yuan Cuixiu is the third wife of the head of Yuan Village in Qima Village. She and Tie Zhu are childhood sweethearts. Cheng Yaojin came out on the way. Yuan Cuixiu once entered the mountain and saved the life of the young man from other places. He heard that he lost his way in the mountain and fell into the trap of the hunter. His leg was injured by the animal trap. The Yuan family has recuperated for more than half a month, so they hit it off with Yuan Cuixiu, even if she wants to be married."

"What kind of coincidence?" The young Orion Tie Zhu drank too much wine and was a little drunk. Hearing the waiter's words, he slapped the table angrily, pointed at the waiter and shouted, "What do you know? How can sister Cuixiu see it?" She has liked me since she was a child, and said she would marry me when she grows up. Obviously, it was the old man Yuan who saw that Qian was open and forced her to marry."

The waiter in the shop was afraid that Tie Zhu would cause trouble, so he bent down repeatedly and said, "Yes, what Zhu Zi said is right. Zhu Zi, why don't you think of a way, what's the use of drinking here? Cuixiu is going to get married tomorrow night."

Tie Zhu put the wine glass on the table and said, "I'm going to look for Cuixiu in Abandoned Horse Village."

After finishing speaking, he walked out the door in three steps, and Brother Ding hurriedly chased after paying the bill.

The shop clerk shook his head and said: "Zhu Zi is also pitiful. That foreigner is not only richer than him, but also more handsome than him. He is willing to marry him. I am afraid that Mrs. Yuan San will fall in love with her sooner."

Yu Taiqing, Chu Xian, Di Chen, and Chen Ying glanced at each other, and they all felt that this matter was strange.

Yu Taiqing asked: "Qima Village is not far from here, is Yuan Cuixiu getting married tomorrow night? Can we go to watch the ceremony?"

The waiter hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Guest officer, I see that you have come from a long way, although I don't know what you do, but you..."

The waiter looked at Yu Taiqing and said, "It's better to be careful when going out. It's not peaceful around here recently. Not only wild beasts appear at night, but also monsters that are harmful to people. A few days ago, two people were found in the ravine The skinned corpse. Although I haven’t seen it in person, I think it’s too miserable. The government came to investigate and found no clues, you’d better not go out.”

"We're just going to visit the abandoned horse village, and we won't go to the mountains." Chen Ying said, "You don't have to worry."

The waiter in the shop said: "The guest officer does not know. The village is not far from the town, only three miles away. However, why do you think the village is called Qima Village? It is because it is close to the mountain, and there are wild beasts here and there. If you want to go into the mountain If you don’t want to, you can only abandon the horse. Therefore, going to the abandoned horse village is equivalent to going into the mountains, and it’s better not to go to get married at night.”

The shop assistant gave thousands of instructions and went by himself.

The four of them finished their meal without saying a word, and it was nightfall when they returned to the wing room.

The four requested two rooms, one for Yu Taiqing and Di Chen, one for Chu Xian and Chen Ying.

The wing rooms are all on the second floor, probably the tallest house in Shuanma Town.

Yu Taiqing pushed open the window and looked outside.

Shuanma Town under the night sky is not like Lan'an City, it is completely dark everywhere, except for a few sporadic lights, which come from the windows of nearby houses.There was no human voice in the town, only a few dogs barking from someone's courtyard occasionally.

There is thick fog in the mountains, and the rising moon seems to be covered with a light veil, hazy.

Yu Taiqing stared at the shadow of Chongwu Mountain not far away, and ordered Di Chen to light the spell to summon the wild king.
