Heaven's Beloved took the adoption manual of the sick apprentice

Chapter 27 Drums
There was a lot of people in the lobby, and their voices did not stand out among them. However, their unique temperament and foreign appearance still attracted the attention of many people, intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiang Yu and Song Heqing always lowered their voices when talking.

Regarding Song Heqing's surprise, Jiang Yu probably knew why he appeared here.

"Did you come to Bian Yun Town because of the corpse-chasing cultivator and broke in by mistake?" Jiang Yu asked confidently.

"Yes, Master's guess is absolutely correct." I happened to catch up to the bridge and disappeared.

Jiang Yu nodded, everything was right.

She also noticed something different on the bridge.

"I just smelled that rotten smell again, but there are too many people downstairs, and the mixed smell is too strong, so it's not easy to find." Jiang Yu had a slight headache. These people were too alert.

"Forget it, don't rush it in advance. I always feel that they have some big plans behind their backs. They have agreed to treat you to a big dinner... No, you have already reached the golden elixir. You should be fasting." Jiang Yu suddenly noticed this. thing.

Song Heqing lifted the teapot on the side and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yu, comforting him: "Who said you can't eat food if you don't eat rice? I've been eating and sleeping in the open all this way, so I'm very greedy."

The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth raised slightly, and he reached out and tapped Song Heqing's forehead, "You kid, you have such a sweet mouth."

Song Heqing rubbed his forehead and said dissatisfiedly: "Master, I am no longer a child. I am 16 years old and I am taller than you."

"16 years old, how old is it? I can't even count how old I am."

"..."

After a while, the ordered lunch was served, and the master and apprentice ate quietly in line with the tacit understanding of not saying anything when eating.

The voices of the people next to him became clearer.

The thin, dark man deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Hey, have you heard any strange noises these days at night?"

The middle-aged man in gray clothes who was eating beside him paused slightly with chopsticks in his hands, and his speech was a little unclear, "What's the sound?"

"The sound of a drum."

"what sound?"

The tips of Jiang Yu's ears trembled slightly.

"Drummer, drum, drum-drum sound."

The man in gray clothes put down his chopsticks in fear, "What are you talking about! Where is the drum sound coming from now?"

Jiang Yu looked at the dark and thin man quietly, watching him swallow in fear and continued: "I thought I heard it wrong at first, but I heard it three nights in a row. You said this, Even if I heard it wrong, I can’t repeat it again and again.”

The man in gray slammed the table, "How is it impossible? The more scared you are, the easier it is to have that, what's it called...what, psychological suggestion, yes, psychological suggestion, auditory hallucinations."

The thin black man scratched his head, but still felt something was wrong, "Brother Wang, let me tell you, I just lost my job in a rice store some time ago. I had no choice but to work as a shift worker in order to support my family."

"I heard about this. It's not easy for you either." The man in gray patted the thin black man on the shoulder and sighed, but he didn't skip the food.

"So I've been working in the middle of the night these days. I've been hearing this for three days in a row. I'm really scared and can't sleep. I'm thinking that you have many connections and many ways to go, so I'll see if you can help me find another job. "

The movement of the man in gray clothes paused. The moment the thin black man lowered his head, there was an imperceptible sarcasm on his lips. Jiang Yu saw all of this.

When the thin black man raised his head, the man in gray had already put on a wide smile on his chubby face, "Don't worry, little brother, I will find a way for you to do this. I'll go back first after eating this today." "

The man in gray clothes wiped his mouth, rubbed his bulging belly, picked up two jars of wine on the table, and walked away without looking back. Only the thin black man was left looking at the mess all over the table, wanting to cry without tears. .

Perhaps when he helped the man in gray leave his seat, he already knew that everything he did today was in vain.

Not long after, the waiter came over to pay the bill. The thin dark man searched his pockets and took out only a few copper coins. The waiter's yellowish face slowly turned dark. He probably guessed that the man in front of him couldn't afford the food and drinks. It’s a waste.

The thin, dark man quivered his chapped lips and said, "Um, little brother, look at this..."

"Little Second!"

"What's the matter girl?"

"I paid for that guest's table of drinks. Please ask that big brother to come over. I have something to ask him."

The waiter smiled happily and picked up the ingot of silver that Jiang Yu put on the table. "Okay, wait a minute, miss, I'll be there right away."

Jiang Yu watched the waiter walk up to the black and thin man in twos and threes, and said this to him.

The black and thin man turned his head to look this way from time to time, with inquiry and fear in his eyes.

Soon the man, led by the waiter, walked to Jiang Yu's table.

After the waiter left, the thin, dark man rubbed his hands nervously, lowered his head, bowed his back slightly and whispered, "Thank you, girl and husband, for advancing the money for the food and drinks for me."

Jiang Yu pointed to the seat next to him and said, "No need to thank you. I actually want to ask you something this time. I wonder if I can sit down and talk in detail."

"No, no, just ask whatever the girl wants to ask." The man waved his hands quickly, looking very nervous.

"Don't be nervous. I just want you to sit down and ask some small questions. There is still some money here. I just accidentally listened to your conversation with your friend. With some money around, it is easier to sort out some relationships and find a new job." Jiang Yu took out a money bag and placed it on the table.

The man touched the edge of the table and sat across from Jiang Yu and Song Heqing. "Girl, just ask whatever you want."

After saying that, he quietly put the money bag into his arms. Jiang Yu looked at it and didn't say anything.

"What's your name?"

"Just call me Liu Ji."

Jiang Yu nodded.

"I just heard that you've been working late at night these days?"

Liu Ji said yes.

"You said you heard drums more than once..."

"Shh! Girl, please keep your voice down." Liu Ji quickly stopped him.

Jiang Yu was a little stunned. Is the sound of drums taboo?

"what happened?"

"The girl must be from out of town." Liu Ji said with certainty.

Jiang Yu nodded, but did not speak.

"If you two don't dislike it, go to my house and talk about it. I don't dare to say that there are too many people in this restaurant."

Jiang Yu glanced at Song Heqing, who immediately understood and said, "I can do anything. I will go wherever Master goes."

Jiang Yu nodded, "Okay, let's go together."

The corpse cultivators in the restaurant may have fled long ago, so there is no need for them to stay there any longer.

Following Liu Ji all the way through the streets, he turned into an alley and came to a remote and dilapidated house.

"Girl, sir, come in with me." Liu Ji opened the door.

A woman's questioning voice came from the courtyard, the voice was slightly shrill, "Is Lao Liu back?"
