I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

In the silent night, a courtyard door somewhere in the mountain village was knocked.

"Is there anyone there?"

"Is there anyone inside?"

Zhao Le knocked on the door and shouted with a little trepidation in his heart: "We are here to stay overnight, is anyone there?"

As his voice fell, a dim candlelight lit up in the house, and then slow footsteps came, and a hunched figure opened the door and looked over with deep eyes.

"You, where are you from?"

Zhao Le saw that there were people in the house, and although the words were a bit difficult to understand, he could understand them, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He pointed to the other four people behind him and said as they had agreed before.

"We escort the girl and the young master to the capital..."

After saying this, Zhao Le spread his hands again, revealing a few pieces of silver in his hand. These pieces of silver were just given to him by Zhao Erqiang, who said that they were exchanged from the immortal before the mission began.

This made Zhao Le more curious about the "immortal".

But the mission was more important, so he said in a tone similar to the old man: "We took the wrong road and missed the post station. We saw a village here and came here."

"Old man, can we stay for one night?"

The old man agreed.

So the five people moved into the village required by the mission smoothly.

Because the old man's family was not rich, he only vacated two rooms for them, one of which was of course for Miss Chen, and the other four people squeezed into the other room. This also caused everyone to wake up the next day and not sleep well.

But the good news was that it started to rain the next day. Although it was not heavy, it was a burst of rain, so they didn't have to leave in a hurry, and they could have an excuse to stay in the village for a while longer.

After eating the dry food Zhao Erqiang gave him, Zhao Erqiang yawned and said, "The first day is relatively safe, and generally nothing strange will happen. So we will follow the previous agreement. Miss Chen and I will go outside the village to see if we can find the fox fairy's nest, and you will go to get information separately." Zhao Le and the other two were all newcomers, so they naturally listened to him and did what he told them to do. Zhao Le had accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with the uncles and aunts in the village because he had been carrying a load to sell goods in one village after another for many years. He could even get information from the children running around everywhere with the grasshoppers he wove and the stories he heard from others, so he was the first to come back. Wang Dafu had been a businessman for many years, and the speed of getting information was only second to Zhao Le. As for Du Runzhi, the son of the county magistrate who came back last, he was a little embarrassed and angry when he entered the door. "A bunch of unruly people!" He slapped the dirty handprints on his white pajamas and said, "I asked them where the fox fairy in the village was, and they actually drove me out. If they were in Yupu County, I would definitely ask my father to arrest them." Zhao Le wanted to say something but stopped, thinking that Zhao Erqiang had previously reminded him not to ask directly, and that he had to ask from other places. But thinking that the other party was the son of the county magistrate, he shut his mouth again because he had never seen such a big man. Wang Dafu did not have his concerns. Wang Dafu was a businessman and was used to making friends with people. So when he saw Du Runzhi was dissatisfied with his pajamas being dirty, he complained that he should have put on clothes before going to bed if he had known that he would come to his dream, otherwise he would not be wearing only pajamas and barefoot now, so he took the initiative to say that he had some silver on him. When he went out just now, he bought a robe and two pairs of shoes from the villagers, and then he took out the things and gave them to Du Runzhi and Zhao Le respectively. Du Runzhi accepted it as a matter of course, and complained that the coarse cloth shoes rubbed his feet. Zhao Le was very grateful to the other party and put on the pair of cloth shoes that were 50% to 60% new with care.

Because their real bodies were still asleep, they appeared here in the same way as in reality. For example, Du Runzhi only had a close-fitting pajamas on his body and no shoes, and Zhao Le didn't have pajamas at home. He was too tired and lay directly on the bed, so his cloth clothes were still there, but his feet were also bare.

Among the three, only Wang Dafu, who went out and stayed in a ruined temple at night, was still the same as in the daytime.

Last night, the three newcomers were shocked and scared, and they didn't dare to say anything.

As for Zhao Erqiang and Miss Chen, their clothes were very good, and they also wore shoes that were easy to move. Zhao Le guessed that this should be the credit of the "immortal".

Because Miss Chen and Zhao Erqiang didn't come back, the three of them chatted for a while.

Not long after, Miss Chen and Zhao Erqiang came back with a solemn look, saying that the two of them went around the village to look for it, but did not find any traces of the fox fairy, and asked them what they had found out.

Du Runzhi mainly complained, confirming that the villagers' abnormal attitude was because they knew about the fox fairy, but other than that, he did not get any useful information. Wang Dafu said that when he was shopping, he saw that every household in the village worshipped a mysterious god and raised chickens. You know, foxes love to eat chickens the most, and he didn't know if there was any connection.

As for Zhao Le, he hesitated for a while and said, "I heard that the people in the village live long, are healthy and have flexible legs and feet, and there are many old and young people, but few children. And the children in the village also said that people go missing every year, but if outsiders come to stay, there will be no children going missing."

"They are probably eaten by the fox fairy."

"In addition, there are some problems with their ancestral hall. The adults in the village don't allow children to go near it, so even children have never been to the central ancestral hall."

Miss Chen's eyes instantly glanced over. This woman who had never spoken a word asked in a cold tone: "How did you find out about this news?"

Zhao Erqiang said in surprise: "Brother Zhao, you can do it."

Because most of the missions of the 'immortal' faction are in some small closed villages. These villages are found all over the world, and they are very exclusive. Sometimes there is a language barrier between the two parties, and it is difficult to learn useful information from simple inquiries.

Sometimes he even angers people in the village and encounters misfortune.

That's why Zhao Erqiang was surprised that Zhao Le knew many dialects before, but even so, he didn't pay much attention to inquiring about information. He just sent three newcomers casually, while he and Miss Chen, a veteran, went to find Fox Fairy, I hope I can find the other party and solve the problem directly.

They had done this several times before and had similar experience and routines.

Unexpectedly, the fox fairy was not found this time, but Zhao Le gave him a surprise.

Du Runzhi and Wang Dafu also looked at him in surprise.

Wang Dafu also said: "Little brother, you are awesome. Although I asked people to inquire and gave me money, they refused to say anything. They looked at me secretly when I asked more questions, which was scary."

"In the end, I sneaked in and discovered the divine statues, but I didn't dare to look any further."

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Le replied nervously: "I first asked the old people in the village when the salesman would come and said we wanted to buy something. I observed that there are many old people and young people. Because when we sell goods, we have to pay attention to the different situations in each village. "

"If there are many elderly people, they should bring some cheap pain-relieving plasters, because the elderly are not in good health and most of the time they have pain here or there. If there are many young people, they should bring some combs, hair ties, salt, cloth, etc. In villages where there are many children, malt candies tend to sell well.”

"Then I discovered that the elderly here are very healthy and there are many young people."

"But not many kids."

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Zhao Le continued: "Then I made up a few more grasshoppers and told the children that each person could come and get one, and asked him to call all the children."

As for the news about missing children, strangers, and the ancestral hall, he learned about it while telling stories about what he had seen, and then listening to the children's conversations.

Because one child casually said, "It would be great if so-and-so was still here, he also likes to listen to stories." Then another child answered him, "Then so-and-so went to serve the Fox Fairy."

But after they said this, they seemed to realize something. All the children turned their heads and looked at Zhao Le with deep eyes. Zhao Le pretended not to hear and then got away with it.

The scene was so weird that he wanted to tremble just thinking about it now.

After Zhao Le's news, everyone realized that most of what he asked about was observed by himself or overheard, and he did not ask directly like Du Runzhi and Wang Dafu.

That's why he knows so much.

Unfortunately, not everyone can learn this method, and not everyone has accumulated so many examples that are common in normal small villages.

Zhao Erqiang smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the newcomer this time is good. Brother Zhao, if you find out important information, the immortal will definitely reward you after the task is completed."

"Let's do this. After everyone in the village falls asleep tonight, Miss Chen and I will go to the ancestral hall to see if the fox fairy is inside. If so, the two of us will solve it."

"Miss Chen, what do you think?"

Miss Chen nodded, "It's a quick decision, it won't be good if it takes too long."

They are already veterans of the mission, and they all know that the longer the time drags on, the more difficult the mission will be. Generally, this kind of task of removing monsters is not difficult, but if it is left to the last day, people will die.

So the matter was settled.

After eating the dry food given by Zhao Erqiang in the evening, the three newcomers gathered together and did not dare to sleep, waiting for news about Miss Chen and Zhao Erqiang. As for the food brought by the owner of the house, that is, the old man, they put it all away and did not dare to touch it.

During the waiting period, in order to resist the sleepiness, they chatted and speculated about what they could get from the immortal after completing this task.

Du Runzhi said he didn't know if there was any pill that could make people smarter. He wanted to take the exam to become the number one scholar, honor his ancestors, and become an official like his father.

Wang Dafu said that his wife was old and in poor health, and he hoped to get some health-building medicine from the immortal.

As for Zhao Le, he wanted to exchange some money and go home.

As they talked, the three of them fell asleep.

In the end, Zhao Le was awakened by Wang Dafu's voice. The man rolled and fell off the bed, looking in a certain direction with a very frightened expression.

"Dead, dead!"

"Dead people——!!!"

Zhao Le suddenly turned his head and looked at the innermost position of the bed, and then saw Du Runzhi, the son of the county magistrate, with wide eyes and a bloody mess between his chest and abdomen.

He is dead! !

While Fu Wenyu was busy writing his storybook, his promotion methods took effect.

Anyone who has read the latest issue of Liuzhou tabloids recently, or has been out these days, has heard from various channels that someone has built a hot spring villa at the junction of Liuzhou and Jiangzhou.

And what is a "hot spring" and what are the benefits of "bathing in a hot spring"?

Fu Wenyu's recently completed "Imperial Examination Cultivation" storybook and the several publicity methods he arranged also explained it very clearly. "Hot springs" are hot water that comes out from underground. There are many things in it that are good for the human body. After soaking, you can strengthen your body, and some diseases can be relieved by soaking in hot springs.

Even the dignitaries in the capital like it very much.

As for the price, it is not expensive. Staying in that hot spring villa for one night is only thirty coins. In addition to being able to experience the hot springs that the dignitaries in the capital like, there are many fun things there.

For example, "haunted houses" and "slides".

This makes the people of Liuzhou City look forward to it.
