Lian Ying turned her head to look out the window.Those carriages should have been left by the second uncle, and the things in them were also put away, and they were eaten if they were eaten.It's just that the rancid smell I smelled just now seems to be coming from the carriage.Isn't it the meat that's spoiled?
Lian Ying's heart froze, as if she had thought of something, and quickly stood up and walked out.just waited for him to come out, but he never saw the figure of Qingxu Laodao.With his current cultivation, he didn't even find any clues.Lian Ying was shocked in his heart, from the moment he stepped into this deserted village, he was full of strangeness, but he couldn't figure out anything.He didn't find any traces of demons here.Lian Ying no longer hesitated, and walked quickly towards the carriage.If it's not the meat inside, it's the corpse!
Only a few carriages were rummaged through, but no body was found in them.Although there are traces of being turned over, you can understand when you think of the roast chicken that Qingxu Lao Dao gnawed just now, it must have been turned over by him."
It's just that where did the others go?"
Lian Ying looked around."
There's no corpse, it's not that the meat is spoiled, so where did the rancid smell come from?
Is it my delusion?
”Lian Ying sniffed again, this time there was no rancid smell at all, but there was more meaty aroma.It's the meat in the carriage.In the end, there was still nothing to discover, and Lian Ying could only return to the earthen house.Seeing Lian Ying sitting on the edge of the fire, the scholar leaned in.He bowed first, and then sat aside, but did not dare to speak.At first, he was really scared when he heard what Qingxu Lao Dao said, and he had the idea of leaving quickly.As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he was startled by Lian Ying who suddenly appeared.But when he heard that Lian Ying's identity might allow him to go through the back door, he dispelled the idea of leaving.Lian Ying was also looking at this scholar and asked casually: "This brother, I don't know where you are, why do you want to go to Spring City to take the autumn exam?"
”"Xiaosheng Chen Nian, a person from Long Mall, I heard that if you can get the top few in the autumn exam in Chuncheng, you will have the opportunity to join the Supervision Yuan, so "Oh." ”Lian Ying nodded.He had also heard Lu Linfei say before that the Supervision Yuan wanted to select some talents through the autumn examination in Chuncheng.Spring City is just a small city in Nanling Prefecture, and Dragon Mall belongs to the big city.Both small and large cities have autumn exams, and the fame is the same after passing the exam.However, Dragon Mall is a big city, if you take the exam there, you will have more chances after winning the list.And if you want to take the government test in the future, it will be more convenient, after all, the dragon mall is closer to the city of Fu.This world test is divided into autumn exams, government exams, and palace exams, with a total of three layers, which is relatively simple.If you win the autumn exam, although it is not a big achievement, it can also be exempted from miscellaneous pieces.If you're lucky, you can also make a name in some places and make a little money.Life is dull, life is worry-free, and the family can still do it with surplus food.As for getting in, the chances are slim and almost impossible, unless money can buy the relationship.If you win the autumn exam, you can go to Fucheng to participate in the government exam, and after you win, you have a better chance of becoming an official, but they are only some minor officials.The palace examination is the most important, if you can go to high school, you can be crowned an official by the royal family in person.Chen Nian gave up participating in the autumn test in the Dragon Mall, and chose Spring City instead, just hoping to be selected by the Supervision Yuan.After all, the temptation of the autumn test in Spring City this time is very great, if you can be selected, you can directly enter the office, and you will be exempted from the government test and the palace test later.It's just that it's not that easy, the Supervisory Yuan is not an ordinary place.It was under the direct command of the Demon Suppression Division, and it was not easy for ordinary people to enter.Lian Ying didn't pay attention to Chen Nian anymore, but he said it to himself.He used to have a younger brother, who originally wanted to get fame and become an official, but his family was poor and couldn't let both of them study.In desperation, his younger brother voluntarily gave up to earn money for him to study.It's just that the good times didn't last long, and his younger brother didn't dare to bear the burden because he was too tired, and he died of a serious illness.For this reason, Chen Nian felt very guilty in his heart, and he studied harder and harder, wanting to do even his brother's share together.Speaking of this, Chen Nian burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly.If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have been moved.However, Lian Ying was unmoved, and even felt that he was a little noisy."
Shut up!"
Lian Ying shouted.Chen Nian's frightened body shook and hurriedly wiped away his tears and silenced.Lian Ying glanced at him and shook his head to remind."
Maybe what the old stinky Taoist said is true, there may be those things here, if you don't want to die, you can leave before nightfall.""
I, this Lian Gongzi, don't scare me" Chen Nian suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, tightened his clothes, and shivered in a hug.It's just that he is reluctant to leave, perhaps because he still has a trace of thought in his heart, hoping that Lian Ying will help him go through the back door.At this time, Qingxu Lao Dao walked in.He was carrying roast chicken and duck in one hand, and a bag in the other, which was filled with dried meat and a jar of wine."
Lian Gongzi, I've kept you waiting!
Excuse me, I just went to pee. ”Qingxu Lao Dao hehe smiled.He glanced at the roast duck in his hand, and then at Lian Ying, "Do you want it?"
”Lian Ying shook her head.Qingxu Lao Dao didn't care, and tore off a duck leg and threw it to Chen Nian.Chen Nian's eyes were red, his thin body shrunk together, and he gnawed on the duck legs.Looking at that appearance, he was really weak and helpless."
Lian Gongzi, just like this for a while, didn't you do something to this scholar?"
Qingxu Lao Dao was curious.Lian Ying ignored him and just sat quietly.Qingxu Lao Dao was bored, and ate it by himself, and then opened the jar of wine and drank it in a big gulp.The wine ran down the corners of his mouth, soaking the robes on his chest.At this moment, Qingxu Lao Dao's eyes lit up, and then his whole face became melancholy."
Someone's coming!
Why are people coming again, alas, it's difficult, it's hard. ”Lian Ying glanced at him, how could this old Taoist priest babble.But he nodded, and he found out.Judging by the sound of footsteps, there was more than one person coming.At the same time, the footsteps were messy and seemed to be panicked."
Anyone?"
A man's voice could be heard outside the house.Chen Nian looked at Lian Ying and Qingxu Lao Dao, and consciously got up and opened the door.I saw two middle-aged men standing at the door with a panicked face, holding a large cloth bag in their arms, which was full of them.The two saw that it was a thin scholar who opened the door, and after a few words, they entered the house.It's just that as soon as I came in, I was stunned when I saw Qingxu Lao Dao.Then he saw Lian Ying with a long sword, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.Qingxu Lao Dao saw that it was them, and his face was not good-looking."
Qingxu Daoist, meet again" The older one smiled at Qingxu Lao Dao, looking a little embarrassed.Qingxu Lao Dao snorted coldly and ignored it.The two of them were also very interested, and they found a corner to sit down with a large cloth bag.There were five people sitting in the earthen hut, but no one spoke.Even Qingxu Lao Dao stopped eating meat and drinking, and the atmosphere was inexplicably a little embarrassing.There was a dead silence in the house, except for the bitter cold wind outside, howling like a wolf.The clatter wind cracked through the broken window, blowing the wood on the wall and shaking, making a footstep sound in the collision.With a creak, the wooden door was blown open by the wind and shook non-stop.The crunching sound was loud all the time, very harsh.Chen Nian got up and closed the door, took down the wood hanging on the wall, used it against the wooden door, and then sat back again.The light of the fire flickered, flickering and dimming.For some reason, Lian Ying only felt extremely tired, and her sitting body began to sway.In a daze, he seemed to hear someone talking, saying that he was going to pee, and then there was a sound of footsteps.Immediately afterwards, it seemed that someone was filming himself, and kept calling his name.He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that Qingxu Lao Dao was beside him, staring at him intently."
Lian Gongzi, you can be regarded as awake!""
What time is it?"
Lian Ying asked."
The hour of the child has passed.""
What about them?"
Only then did Lian Ying find that only he and the old Taoist priest were left in the house, Chen Nian and the two men who came later were gone."
Something's wrong."
Qingxu Lao Dao sighed."
Alas, it's all gone"
