Chapter 3 A Bone Sister Standing at the Entrance of the Village
Wanxi Town.

Located between Taoyuan County and Taohua Ridge, it got its name because countless mountain streams on Taohua Ridge converge here to form a river.

The Wanxi River runs through the middle of Wanxi Town, dividing the town into East and West Villages. Zhang Meng's family is in Xidong Village, and Xu Ran's family is in Xixi Village.

There is a fork near Wanxi Town, go west and pass the stone bridge across the river, and you can take a shortcut to go home.And pass through Xidong Village and go two or three miles ahead, and you will be Taoyuan County.

Xu Ran decided to go to the county government to report the case first, and then go back to his own home, to sort out the memories of the two lives, to study and understand how the monster obtains the game system, and to go to Zhang Meng's house to report the bad news tomorrow morning, otherwise the mother and daughter will not know what to do this night. Get over it.

……

Taoyuan County Government.

The county lieutenant Zhong Yuanwei, who was worrying, didn't feel sleepy.

There have been frequent disappearances in Taoyuan County recently. Before, there were only sporadic disappearance cases in villages outside the city. Today, someone came to report that a family of five in the county town disappeared overnight.

He personally took people to the scene to investigate, and there was not even a recent footprint at the door of the house except for the hoofprints of animals.

So all kinds of rumors spread quickly, saying that monsters eat people without vomiting their bones, and evil ghosts dragged people into the underworld with their lives, etc. In short, it became more and more serious.

Moreover, that family lived in the county seat, and this kind of thing happened right under their noses, but there was no clue to investigate the case. Zhong County Wei Gang was scolded by Li Zhi County.

Seeing Xu Ran's eyes were red and swollen, and he came in listlessly, County Captain Zhong immediately found someone to vent his anger on, and said angrily, "Where did you and Zhang Meng go all day yesterday? How did you get into such a bear? Where is your official uniform?" ?”

Xu Ran untied the burden on his back, lightly placed it on the table in front of Lieutenant Zhong, and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhong has an accident, Zhang Meng only has this arm..."

Listening to Xu Ran's narration of the incident, the muscles on Zhong Xianwei's face twitched wildly, and he untied his bag in a panic, and saw Zhang Meng's arm that was extremely pale from blood loss, and half of the sleeve of the official uniform was still covered on it. .

Lieutenant Zhong Xian fell down on the chair, his face was pale, "This..."

Lieutenant Zhong Xian didn't dare to make decisions by himself, wrapped his arms in his tattered official uniform, hugged him in his arms, and walked to the back hall of the county government first.

"Xu Ran, quickly follow me to meet the magistrate, his grandma..."

It was the first time for Xu Ran to come into close contact with Li Fengshan, the magistrate. He was a middle-aged man in his early forties, writing and writing in his study.

Hearing what happened to Xu Ran and Zhang Meng, the brush in Li Zhixian's hand fell on the rice paper, and his face turned pale with fright.

Xu Ran, on the other hand, was calmer, and said in a low voice: "My lords, that bear demon is no match for ordinary hunters. Where can we invite a fairy master who can subdue monsters and catch monsters?"

After the initial fear and nervousness, County Captain Zhong gradually recovered, and said: "Xu Ran is right, why don't we prepare with both hands, and go to the county on a fast horse to invite Abbot Changqing, and I will trouble you to go to Ningyang in person. Mansion, please come forward from the Demon Division..."

Li Zhixian took a deep breath and sighed: "That's right, we must pay attention to it at this time. The monster can't catch people on the mountain. If it runs down the mountain, how can I be worthy of the people of Taoyuan County?"

He calmed down for a while, and then said: "Send someone to invite Abbot Changqing, many people have disappeared in the city for no reason recently, I'm afraid there will be big trouble, what can we do without you, Master Zhong?"

Lieutenant Zhong Xian nodded, "In my lord's opinion, who is the right person to send?"

Hearing the words "Abbot Changqing", Xu Ran's heart moved.

Before meeting four monsters and mountain gods on Taohua Ridge, he felt that they were very similar to the story "Mountain God" in Liaozhai. Now hearing this name, he remembered a story in Liaozhai: "The Monk of Changqing".

Xu Ran vaguely remembered that it was an old monk with profound Buddhist teachings. After passing away, he was revived in the body of a wealthy young master. He was not moved by his wealth and more than ten young and beautiful wives and concubines. The way is profound, different from the vulgar.

Xu Ran is not an ancient person, and he has always been skeptical about the idea of ​​resurrecting the soul with a dead body.

According to the popular saying in later generations, the Changqing monk is more like rebirth after taking his home.

If this abbot of Changqing is the Changqing monk in the story of Liaozhai, his cultivation must be good, and he might be able to avenge Zhang Meng...

After thinking to this point, Xu Ran hurriedly said: "If the two adults are at ease, the villain is willing to invite Abbot Changqing."

Lieutenant Zhong Xian looked at him and sighed, "I originally planned to give you a few more days off and entrust you to arrange Zhang Meng's funeral. He lost his father since he was young, and there are only his wife and younger sister at home. You are his best friend." Good bro."

Xu Ran's heart warmed, and he looked at Zhong Xianwei and said: "I will make arrangements as soon as possible, and I can set off in three days. Zhang Meng died at the mouth of the bear demon. Please ask Abbot Changqing to come out of the mountain earlier to get rid of the monster. Brother Meng, Izumi knows, and will be pleased."

Zhongxian Wei gave Xu Ran a piece of broken silver, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Everyone is a brother, this is a little heart, give it to Mrs. Zhang for me."

"Thank you, Sir, on Brother Meng's behalf," Xu Ran bowed to him. This piece of silver is about three taels, which is not a small amount for a county lieutenant whose annual salary is only ten taels.

"Your name is Xu Ran, isn't it?" Seeing Xu Ran, Li Zhixian responded, and said, "Go to the accountant to get 30 taels of silver, and give ten taels of silver to Zhang Meng's mother. That job will not be taken back, let's wait for Zhang's mother to talk about it after a hundred years.

Take the other 20 taels and send it to the abbot of Changqing. If he refuses to accept it, he will say that it is the incense money donated to Changqing Temple by the county. The official will write you an invitation card, and you will bring it and hand it to the old man. . "

The two heads of the family in Taoyuan County are of good character, so Xu Ran hastened to bow deeply again.

……

Back at the intersection of the two villages, Xu Ran crossed the stone bridge.

Near the entrance of Xixi Village, there is a quiet small courtyard, which is still brightly lit when it is Haishi.

Xu Ran subconsciously looked towards the small courtyard. The courtyard door just opened, and a woman in yellow and an old woman in gray were carrying a large wooden basin to pour water.

Seeing Xu Ran passing by, the old woman hurriedly greeted, "Master Xu, come and help me."

This is Feng Ma and Gu Qingqing, Xu Ran has already merged most of the memories, both of them are old acquaintances from the previous life, and they often help each other out.

"Mother Feng, Miss Gu, you're still busy at this late hour... ah..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Ran almost roared in fright. He kept telling himself to be steady, and then suppressed the urge to turn around and run.

Because the moment he looked at the two of them, the system gave another reminder.

[The host meets the bone demon and gets the "rare elite wild monster Gu Qingqing" with unlimited refresh times, do you want to check it? 】

[The host meets the Bone Demon and gets the "Wild Monster Bone Demon" with unlimited refresh times, do you want to check it? 】

Xu Ran's teeth chattered slightly, his heartbeat climbed to 130 in an instant, but his face was smiling like a spring. According to the behavior of his predecessor, he quickly stepped forward to replace the woman, carried her to a distance with Feng's mother, and poured it into the basin of laundry water.

Mama Feng rubbed her old waist, and said angrily, "Mama Feng asked you to help, it's good for you, but you help my girl..."

One sentence made Gu Qingqing's face blush, Xu Ran also rubbed his hands in embarrassment, unable to answer.

He really didn't know what to say.

Say less and make less mistakes, and don't say that there is nothing wrong.

If there is no system to remind them of their identities, and he is facing a familiar female neighbor, he will naturally have something to say.

But right now, he has just crossed over and experienced those ghosts and ghosts on Taohua Ridge, and his inner anxiety has not completely subsided. He thought it would be safe to enter the village, but he didn't expect a pair of bone demon masters and servants to kill at the entrance of the village.

What a bizarre world is this?
Liaozhai?Westward Journey?
Xinshou Village is so unfriendly!
