The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 6 It Was Wrong to Pay

Seeing this scene, Lu Qian was a little surprised.

His original judgment was the same as that of the head catcher, and he also believed that the last ingot of silver was hidden in Widow Li.

Such a money-greedy woman like her, if she saw a "big guy", would she not want it?
But now it seems that it is not.

This pig demon jumped up and down, obviously trying to shake something out of his body.

At this time, it made this action, besides handing over the ingot of silver, what else could it do for it?
Obviously, it is defending Widow Li's chastity with its life.

As it beat violently, the contents of its stomach mixed with a lot of blood began to flow out again.

The pig demon couldn't stop humming in pain, but didn't stop.

After a while, its entire cavity was emptied, and the pig liver, pig heart, pig lungs, and pig intestines were all thrown on the ground.

Until finally, with the sound of "jingling", a piece of silver finally fell out of its body.

The nearest policeman picked up the silver on the ground, wiped it clean, looked at it, and said with a surprised face: "It's really on it."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Qian saw that Widow Li turned her back to the arresters, with a smug smile on her lips.

Lu Qian suddenly understood.

This Widow Li is really good at calculating.

She knew that stealing silver from the government treasury was a serious crime, so she deliberately hid all the silver on the pig demon, not keeping a single ingot of silver on her.In this way, even if the government came to investigate and did not find dirty money on her, they would not be able to convict her.

What does the dirty silver found on the pig have to do with her? Can you prove her relationship with the pig?
Of course, this is just her own wishful thinking.

The pig demon didn't know if he was confused, the money had already fallen out, but it was still jumping there.

It's just that its body is completely empty at this moment, and nothing can fall out anymore.

After Lu Qian understood the cause and effect, he lost interest.He walked behind Wang Genshen, the owner of "Wangji Grain Shop", reached out and patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice:
"Boss Wang?"

Wang Genshen was a little short, he was stretching his neck, looking into the room intently, and said without turning his head when he heard the words: "What are you doing?"

Lu Qian said, "I'll buy some rice."

"Wait, wait a minute."

Lu Qian: "..."

Looking up, although the sun cannot be seen on a rainy day, Lu Qian can also feel that it is getting late.

He patted Wang Genshen on the shoulder again. He couldn't buy rice today, and he would be hungry when he went back at night.

Wang Genshen shook his shoulders, shook Lu Qian's hand away, and said impatiently, "You weigh it yourself, just throw the money away."

……

Lu Qian whispered: "I don't have enough money, I have to credit you two catties of rice, and I will pay you back when I go to the market next time."

In addition to the seven copper coins that Second Sister Wang gave him just now, the money in his pocket is just enough to buy a catty of rice.

"Successful."

Wang Genshen said without looking back.

After hearing this, Lu Qian stopped talking nonsense with him, and exited the yard directly.

The rain was still pattering, the streets were empty, only four horses stood under the eaves, snorting from time to time.

Lu Qian went directly to Wangji Grain Shop, weighed three catties of rice, put it in a pocket he carried, and threw twelve copper plates into the money box on the counter.

Then, he carefully packed a small bag of rice into a cage, held up an oil-paper umbrella, left the shop, and walked west along this relatively narrow street.

The direction he was walking happened to pass by Widow Li's house.As soon as she passed the door of her house, she heard an exclamation from inside.

I only heard the head catcher roar loudly: "Don't let it get away——"

Hearing this voice, it seemed more urgent than losing Ku Yin.

Lu Qian felt a little strange, the pig demon had only one breath left, how could he be told to run away?

Almost subconsciously, Lu Qian pinched a small paper figurine and concentrated his mental power in his eyes.

Looking up, he saw a phantom of a pig flying out of the yard of Widow Li's house, across the street, and heading west.

It seemed that the pig demon was already "dead", and the remaining spirit escaped instead.

Lu Qian's mental power was locked on the pig goblin soul, he pinched the little paper figurine, hesitated for a moment, and didn't call out the word "receive".

After hesitating for a moment, the pig goblin soul escaped from the range of his spiritual perception and disappeared.

According to the description of "Spirit-destroying Little Paper Man", it is to collect people's living souls.

He didn't know whether the living soul of the demon could be collected, and he just wanted to test it out just now.

Unexpectedly, the pig demon only had spirit spirit left, and its speed was so fast that it flew away in the blink of an eye.

"Forget it, talk about it later."

At this time, hurried footsteps sounded in the yard.When Lu Qian heard it, he quickly put away the little paper figurine.

Immediately afterwards, the head catcher rushed out of the gate, glanced around, his eyes fell on Lu Qian, and asked, "Did you see anything flying out?"

Lu Qian shook his head.

The head catcher took out a round mirror, about the size of an adult's head, from a cowhide bag on his back, picked up the mirror, took a look around, and then shouted:

"The pig goblin escaped to the north, everyone, chase—"

While talking, he jumped on the horse and patted the horse away.

Afterwards, two more catchers rushed out from the yard, mounted their horses, and followed the catcher.

There was another sound of chaotic footsteps in the yard, and one could tell it was the melon-eating crowd from the Wang Family Camp.

Before they left Widow Li's yard, they started talking in low voices:
"Tell me, how do they... sleep at night?"

"Hey, haven't you ever seen a matching pig?"

"Oh... um... oh?"

"Hey, that's not necessarily the case, with Widow Li's vigor, back then I...cough cough..."

"Huh? Something's wrong with you, aren't you..."

"Shh... don't talk nonsense. I... I heard it from a friend of mine."

"Which friend?"

"Hey, don't you think, that pig's nose..."

……

Damn, what did I hear?
Lu Qian cursed, and walked away quickly.

While walking, I heard a voice behind me:
"Hey, who is that?"

"Oh, it's Lu who sells paper-cut paintings at the fair... What's the matter with Lu, why is he here?"

"He's been just now..."

"Tch, good things happen, you can smell the smell from the market street and run over to watch the excitement."

"Hey, Xiao Lu seemed to be talking to me just now?"

……

"Who are you asking?"

"I didn't talk to you, how do we know?"

……

……

After Lu Qian left Wangjiaying, he continued to walk east.

Along the way, he didn't see the figures of the catchers, only the messy horseshoe prints left on the ground.

The pig goblin soul was able to escape, which surprised Lu Qian.

Judging from the head catcher's attitude, this "Pig Fairy Soul" must be a good thing.

However, this has nothing to do with him.Even if he got the Pig Fairy Soul, he wouldn't be able to use it right now.

For him, it is still time to practice his "paper-cutting skills".

Of course, it would be even better if he could learn some other techniques, even martial arts.

After all, although paper cutting can be used to deal with ghosts, it cannot deal with people.

Although there are many demons and ghosts in this world, it does not mean that humans are not scary.

He thought all the way, and unknowingly came to a crossroads.

This place is already eight or nine miles away from Wangjiaying.

Misty and misty, Wang Family Camp has disappeared in the gloomy twilight behind him.

Looking forward, there is a slope in the distance.

Down the slope, there is a river.

On the half slope, stands a small temple.

The place where the pig demon said to hide the money must be that temple.

Lu Qian stood at the intersection and looked at the temple for a while, but didn't take a step forward.

Instead, he turned around decisively and walked north.

Ten taels of silver, to him at this moment, was a huge sum of money.

However, in this weird world, who knows what "good things" are in the temple.

Especially, today is still a rainy day.

This risk is not worth taking.

It's business to go home quickly.

Lu Qian was once warned not to go out at night.

Although he really didn't go out at night this month, he didn't take this sentence seriously.

It's just that the lights are dark at night, and he doesn't bother to go out even if he is asked to go out.

But at this moment, at this moment.

He finally deeply understood the true meaning of this sentence.
