Qingyuan County.

It is a small county town that is not too rich.

But even if you are not rich, because of the cessation of wars, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the world is peaceful, the population is slowly developing, and the kind of things that are not full and hungry are slowly disappearing.

After all, the war is over, and the people have started to open up wasteland and farm.

Although I don't talk about big fish and meat, but fortunately, I can't die from starvation. For most people, being able to eat enough is already a very happy thing.

Therefore, even if you are not rich, you can often hear laughter in Qingyuan County.

But this disappearance, since three years ago, has become less and less.

Because of the troll.

In the folk, there have always been legends about the mountain demon.

These mountain monsters like to come out at night the most, and what they do is to steal children. As for why they steal children, do you have to ask? .

As for Qingyuan County, since three years ago, mountain monsters have been haunting them.

The number of lost children in Qingyuan County has gone from one three years ago to more than forty today.

The loss of so many children is the pain of more than [-] families.The pain in it is indescribable.

It is precisely because of this that Qingyuan County invited Taoist priests or monks to eliminate demons more than once.

But the people who were invited either never returned, or they ran away halfway through the journey without even asking for money.

This also caused distress to the people of Qingyuan County.

The county magistrate was even more worried about this.

The only thing to be happy about is that the mountain demon only acts once a month, and only steals one child each time. If he stole a lot of children every time, it is estimated that due to his inaction, he would have been killed The people of Qingyuan County were torn apart.

Although Qingyuan County is calm on the surface, it is actually already undercurrents.

The anger of the people may erupt at any time. For this reason, the county magistrate had to issue a notice to find people who practice Taoism and Buddhism who can subdue demons and subdue demons.

Moreover, in order to recruit people as soon as possible, the county magistrate also spent a lot of money this time, and directly took out two hundred taels of silver as a reward.

Whoever can solve the problem of the mountain demon, the bounty of two hundred miles of supercilious eyes, is his.

Two hundred miles, this is equivalent to two million RMB in later generations, which is definitely a huge sum of money.

Chapter 481; The disaster of the mountain demon (1)

"Brother, have you noticed that Qingyuan County looks very lively, but there are hardly any smiles on people's faces?" Lin Jia and Xu Fan walked side by side on the streets of Qingyuan County.

Xu Fan nodded. Xu Fan had already discovered these subtle weirdnesses when he entered the county, but he didn't mention them.

I didn't expect that Lin Jia had good observation skills, and she also discovered it.

"You have good observation skills. It seems that you girl is quite careful."

Hearing Xu Fan's performance, Lin Jia immediately raised her head and smiled, as if she was a little proud, but quickly restrained her smile, and whispered in Xu Fan's ear; "Brother, tell me, why is Qingyuan County so strange? , could something have happened?."

"It's not easy to know what happened, just ask someone." Xu Fan said.

"Hey, that's fine over there." Xu Fan pointed to a noodle stall by the side of the road.

Afterwards, the two walked directly towards the stall.

Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, restaurants were generally opened, that is, these roadside noodle stalls, providing places for travelers to eat.

In this kind of era, even if the food is not delicious, not many people will be picky. After all, after experiencing the era of war and chaos when there is nothing to eat, for them, as long as they have something to eat, it is fine. Pursue.

"Two guest officers, what would you like?" The stall owner immediately greeted a customer with a smile on his face.

"Old version, cook two bowls of noodles."

"okay."

"Is there any meat?" Xu Fan asked again.

"A little."

"Then leave it all to us, and the money will not be short of you."

"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you." The boss is also an honest person, seeing the clothes of Xu Fan and Lin Jia, he knows that they are the kind of masters who are not short of money.

Especially Xu Fan and Lin Jia were holding a sword, and they looked like the kind of knights who walk the rivers and lakes. This kind of people are the most expensive.

The sword is the king of weapons. It is different from the sword. Those who eat with martial arts are mostly big swords that kill people. After all, compared with swords, long swords are more convenient for killing people, so they use martial arts for food. Eat, mostly with a knife.

And those who use swords are either wealthy sons, the kind used to show their status, or knights who walk the rivers and lakes.

"Two guests, your noodles." Soon, the stall owner brought out two large bowls of noodles. Lord only those shredded pork.

"Boss, this is money for you." Xu Fan took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and threw it to the stall owner.

"Hey, guest officer, you gave too much. This is as much as three or two. The villain has no money to give you."

"You don't need to look for it, you just need to answer a few questions from me, and the money is all yours." Three taels of silver is nothing to Xu Fan, but to ordinary people, it is definitely not a small amount .

You know, he only sells three copper coins for a bowl of noodles.

And one tael of silver can be exchanged for ten copper plates, and one coin is one hundred copper plates.
