red man

Chapter 5

"The Fucheng issued a notice, and the disciples of the national teacher came to investigate the changes. They said that there were several Fengshui changes in the local area, and the goblin had a gap to make trouble here."

Really stir up trouble.

What the cook said was that there were a few monsters who appeared out of nowhere and were causing trouble in the waters.

The shoals become deep pools, and flat lakes create whirlpools.

Many fishermen got tricked, and there were also a few big households who ran boats and ran merchants with heavy losses. The government has already started looking for monsters under the guidance of the disciples of the national teacher, and then implemented the method of expelling them.

"If you don't listen to good people, you will suffer in front of your eyes. Since the road ahead is blocked, lady, thank you very much, I will have a meal at your house."

"Officials hurry up and go ashore. The wontons in my concubine's store are called 'thousand lixiang'. The merchants in Wutan County and Wufeng County are all aware of it. Even the elders of the county have tasted it..."

"Okay, let's have a bowl of wontons!"

Wei Hao docked the boat at the store, then went up the steps of the water station, put the cage aside, sat in the store and looked around, and found that although the shop was not big, it was tidy.

It is also the pattern of the front shop and the backyard, but the shop door also opens to the river.

"Ma'am, do you have a room here?"

"It's cramped and small, and I'm afraid the officials won't like it. There are official guest houses nearby. When the officials go out and turn right, they see a big camphor tree. That's in the courtyard of the official guest house."

"Don't be afraid, just stay overnight."

"Thank you for your care..."

The cook was immediately overjoyed, because the water trade roads were not smooth, and no one knew when the monsters would be repelled. With less business, life would naturally be difficult.

"Officer, your wonton."

"Okay, thank you."

A bowl of wontons came to the table, with a tangy aroma, green onion, orange-red shrimp skin, and some dried vegetables, each wonton was in it, and when you scooped one up with a spoon, it disappeared in one bite.

It was a little hot, making her mouth sting, and the cook was happy to see it. Her wontons were happy, which was the highest praise.

Xilihulu is a bowl, Wei Hao counted eighteen wontons.

"My lady, bring me another fifty wontons!"

"Ah?" The cook was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "This official, there are only thirty meat left..."

Seeing Wei Hao's tall stature just now, she added eight more. Ten wontons are enough for a meal if they are big wontons with thin skins and big fillings.

"The meat ones are gone, and the vegetarian ones are fine."

After patting his stomach, Wei Hao laughed, "Ten or eight, just taste it."

"..."

The cook is also well-informed, and even if the coolies eat vegetarian wontons, thirty wontons are enough.

fifty...

A martial arts practitioner who serves as an escort for a caravan may not be able to eat it.

However, Wei Hao slapped all the money on the table, saying that he did not eat the overlord's meal, so he gave the money.

The cook doesn't have much to say, she wraps some vegetarian stuffing while cooking.

When it came to the table, it was Xilihulu again, devouring mouthfuls one by one, which made the cook startled, lest the guests would cause trouble if they ate too much.

As a result, after Wei Hao finished eating, he patted his stomach with a smile: "[-]% full, just right."

"..."

"..."

Not to mention the cook, even the "snail girl" in the cage and jug, secretly thought that she had a good stomach, thinking of cooking three dishes and one soup for Wei Hao in a few days, I'm afraid she would be half full.

"There have been movements at night in the past few days. It is said that spirits have gone out to look for food. If it weren't for the peach charms hanging in every household, they must have not slept soundly."

The cook reminded Wei Hao, "If the officials hear noises at night, just be careful, and there is no need to panic."

He also said something about the excellent geomantic omen of the village, that the county lord had come to write inscriptions, etc., all to reassure Wei Hao.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I have a reputation, what are you afraid of?"

"..."

Wei Hao's words directly stunned the cook, her eyes were similar to those of Yuniang.

The meaning of that look is probably the feeling of "this is actually a scholar".

kinda hurts...

"whee."

Yu Niang couldn't hold back, and snickered softly.

Fortunately, the cage is small and there is a water tank, so the cook can't hear it from the stove.

Wei Hao kicked on the cage, shaking Yuniang in a mess, and the snail shell was spinning around in the water jar.

Just staying at the Wonton shop, besides Wei Hao, there are a few other migrant workers. Although it is in the form of a Datong shop, they are all partitioned. The cook said it was narrow and cramped, but she was right.

The bare-chested men in short shirts were all frowning, and the ghosts blocked the way, so they couldn't do night work, their livelihood was hindered, and their income was also low.

Compared with earning money to support a family, monsters are actually nothing to be afraid of.

When Wei Hao came in, several people were too scared to speak. When they found out that Wei Hao was a scholar, they immediately couldn't hold back their temper and started talking to Wei Hao.

The main reason is that scholars know a lot, and I want to ask when the government of Xiucai will get rid of monsters.

Just chatting and chatting has become a daily routine.

A boatman hugged his knees and said on the bed: "Wei Xianggong, I have seen that monster before. It is completely black, with a big bloody mouth full of sharp teeth. The mast and oar can be bitten to pieces. That night , the bodyguard on my ship chopped him a few times, sparks flew everywhere, his whole body was covered in scales, maybe he was invulnerable..."

"There is nothing invulnerable. If you can't kill it, it must be due to lack of strength and speed."

Wei Hao laughed immediately, "If it's really invulnerable, it should be the world of monsters. How can the dynasty of humanity be prosperous? Are you right?"

Having said that, the boatmen nodded again and again, and they were not afraid of any ghosts. Instead, they complained: "It's better to form a team to catch the monsters earlier and destroy the ghosts, so that peace will be soon."

"Fucheng must be busy eliminating demons. The disciples of the national teacher are here. It will be a matter of time before the ghosts are wiped out..."

After chatting for a long time, they washed up and went to sleep.

Wei Hao fell asleep very quickly, the cage was placed beside the pillow, with Yuniang around, a wake-up call was more effective than an alarm clock.

"Snail girl" had a fate with Wei Hao because of her gratitude, so she could sleep to thank her, and if she alerted Wei Hao, she didn't need to make a sound.

In the dead of night, the hissing insects.

It's just that when Wei Hao was eating wontons in his dream, he saw Yuniang rushing over anxiously and shouting, "Grandfather, don't eat, there's a ghost coming out of the water and ashore!"

"Um?!"

In the dream, Wei Hao made another wonton, widened his eyes and asked, "What kind of monster even came here when I saw it, did it come to look for you?! Get my steel fork!"

"..."

Waking up from the dream, Wei Hao got up suddenly, picked up the ancestral treasured knife, and listened carefully. Sure enough, there was a rustling sound outside, as if something was grinding its teeth, and then kept scratching at the door.

The creaking was very ear-piercing. Looking out through the crack of the window, in the darkness, there was a pair of copper bell-sized eyes that were very bright, and they were definitely not human eyes.

"Good guy, your eyes are bright."

At this time, there was too much movement outside, which disturbed many sleeping people. Suddenly, the cook screamed, and Wei Hao immediately grabbed the sword and rushed out.
