demon rampage

In the evening, the sky began to rain again, the rain was not heavy, but my trip might be delayed for a few more days.

The little ghost and I sat downstairs for dinner. It would be a bit boring to sit in the room all the time, and you can still listen to other people talking downstairs.

But now there are very few customers. On the first floor, there are only me, the wit, the kid, and a man wearing a bamboo hat and a black cloak at the other table. The boss is behind the square counter, knocking on the abacus, and the waiter also comes out from time to time. presence.

When he put a plate of shredded potatoes in front of the man in the bamboo hat, the man in the bamboo hat suddenly stopped the waiter.

"Excuse me, has there ever been a person who looks like a scholar staying here?"

The voice of the man in the bamboo hat is a bit vicissitudes.

The waiter in the shop thought about it for a while: "Scholar? There was one, but it's a pity that he died, alas! What a bad luck!"

The boss who only cares about the abacus suddenly raised his head and glared at the waiter, who quickly shut up and walked into the back kitchen.

Could it be that the scholar they were talking about was the man I saw on the bridge, who suddenly appeared and then disappeared. If it was him, it is not impossible.

I had only heard of ghosts and supernatural legends before, and never thought that such things really existed in this world. I picked up a peanut bean and put it in my mouth. What is impossible?

After dinner, when I went upstairs, I glanced at the man in the bamboo hat again. I didn't know who it was, he was dressed so mysteriously, and he sat there like a wooden stake, motionless.

Others can't see the little ghost. In order not to be suspected, I didn't open another room for the little ghost. Fortunately, this bed is enough for the two of us to sleep.

When I went to sleep at night, I felt itchy all over my body, as if something was crawling on me.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and found that the little ghost was sitting on the bed with a pair of vertical pupils emitting a golden light, with one hand on me.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

I took his hands off me and asked.

"I was catching lice. A lice jumped from my body to you just now. It must be the lice on the talented man." The little ghost pointed to the woken wise man.

I glanced at the wit who seemed to be saying "I'm innocent", and pressed the kid's head to make him lie down and sleep.

"Don't catch it, just give the talented man a bath tomorrow, go to bed quickly."

The kid let out an "oh" and lay down obediently.

When I woke up the next morning, I opened the window and found that it was still raining. It seemed that it had been raining all night, and the willows on both sides of the road seemed a little listless.

While having breakfast, I asked the waiter, "Did it often rain here before?"

"That's not true. Seven years ago, there was a three-year drought here, and then it suddenly returned to normal, and people moved back one after another. The rain is also strange. At this time of the year, it has never rained so much. It’s raining, not to mention it’s been raining for several days in a row, as if it’s deliberately blocking something.” The waiter said mysteriously.

"Last night, I heard you talking about a scholar and bad luck. I don't know why?" I turned my head to see that the boss was not there, and asked in a low voice.

"Don't tell others, let me tell you, that scholar was originally from Hushan County, and he came to Liang'an City from thousands of miles away, just to recommend himself and seek an official position. He wrote an article, which is unprecedented. The person who came here has more than a thousand words to say. If this is presented to the emperor, he may become a high official! It is a pity that some people in power use the technique of embedding flowers and trees to put this son's article on someone else's name. The young master was in a hurry, and when he came back here, he told me the whole story, and then he just disappeared, alas! What a pity!"

What the shop waiter said was heartbreaking, especially when it came to the perverse behavior of those in power who practiced favoritism and malpractice, and he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

"Then how do you know that this article was written by that scholar?" I asked.

"The young master lived here before going to Liang'an City. We chatted well, and he even showed me the first half of the article, which is exactly the same as the article named by the villain!" The waiter said indignantly.

"I don't know what article is so coveted?" The waiter's words made me curious about this article.

"That's really an unprecedented article. No one in the world can write such a beautiful and moving text. It's called "Drunken Flower City."

"Huadu? I've never heard of it. Was it invented by the scholar himself?" I asked.

"Although it's a fiction, it's so written that people can't tell whether it's true or not. The husband once told me secretly that he once went to Huadu in his dream. It really is a fairyland on earth, and..."

The waiter wanted to continue talking, but a cough interrupted him, and I saw the innkeeper standing behind the waiter at some point, I was fascinated by it just now, and didn't notice it.

"If you spread these nonsense things to customers again, don't even think about working here!" The boss said with an abacus in his hand, staring at the waiter.

"Boss, I was wrong, I won't say it, I won't say it again, don't drive me away! I have seniors and juniors, I can't lose this job!"

The boss threw his sleeves away angrily, and the waiter followed him begging.

"And what?" It's a pity that I didn't hear the exciting part.

After dinner, I went out with the little ghost. When I passed the counter, the boss suddenly looked up at me, which made my heart shudder. I almost thought he had discovered the existence of the little ghost.

"Please don't tell me what you heard in the morning." The boss said suddenly, his eyes fixed on me, as if he wouldn't let it go if I didn't agree.

"Okay." I nodded.

After leaving the inn, I brought the kid and the wit to the rental office. When the proprietress saw me coming, she quickly put down what she was doing and walked towards me with a smile.

"Little brother, I'm really sorry. I don't know when the rain will stop. The people who opened the road have to stop working temporarily because of the rain. It may be delayed for a few more days." The proprietress said.

"It's okay, I'm just here to ask, and I'm not in a hurry." I returned.

"That's good. I have freshly made dried persimmons and Qiongguotang. If you don't mind, please sit down and have a taste. This is made by my daughter. It's delicious." The proprietress was enthusiastic said.

The proprietress didn't wait for me to refuse, she yelled into the room, and soon, a young girl with delicate features came out with two trays full of snacks.

"This is my daughter, Duan Xiang." The proprietress looked at me with a smile on her face.

I seemed to understand what she meant, but now I am only 16 years old, and I don't have any wrong thoughts about women, so I pretended not to understand what she meant, and gave a soft "um", looking a little puzzled.

The smiling face of the proprietress couldn't hold on anymore, she seemed to be a little annoyed at my ignorance, but it soon returned to normal.

The proprietress asked Duan Xiang to leave first, and sat aside and kept asking about me.

"Little brother, how old is this year?"

"Sixteen, not long after."

"My daughter is fifteen, what do you think of her?"

"Ingenuity."

I picked up a piece of snack and put it in my mouth. It was quite delicious, but I was really too lazy to deal with this woman.

"Have a drink."

The proprietress brought two glasses of water from the back kitchen. I picked up the water glass and took a sip. I felt that the taste of the water was strange, so I didn't drink more.

After chatting with the proprietress for a while, I felt a little dizzy and fell unconscious after a while.

There is indeed a problem with the water. I didn't expect to encounter a black shop here. Could it be that the sky is going to kill me?

I opened my eyes in a daze, and found myself tied up with ropes and lying on the bed. It seemed that the proprietress was quite humane, and she didn't just throw me on the ground.

The kid was standing next to me with a cute face.

"They said they want you to be that woman's door-to-door son-in-law." The kid said.

"You help me untie the rope, let's get out of here quickly."

The little ghost looked at me with a smile on his face, but didn't move.

"I've already taken your purse. To tell you the truth, I lied to you. That man said that as long as I stole your purse, he would be my friend."

The kid took out my purse and shook it in front of me. This could be regarded as adding fuel to the fire. I thought to myself, as expected, he shouldn't have been allowed to follow me in the first place.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and the proprietress walked in first, and Duan Xiang followed her shyly.

"Hey, you woke up so soon, I thought you had to sleep for a while." The proprietress said with a smile.

I looked at them without saying a word.

"To tell you the truth, my daughter has taken a fancy to you. From now on, you will obediently be my door-to-door son-in-law. Don't think about leaving Tiger Village. You don't have father or mother anyway, so you might as well stay here." The proprietress said, He took off the cap of the bottle in his hand, squeezed my chin with one hand, and poured the contents into my mouth.

"What is this?" It was so unpalatable, it made me sick to death.

"This is a good thing, you will know later." The proprietress smiled mysteriously and left quickly.

Duan Xiang inserted the door from the inside, walked towards me with a blushing face, and then began... undressing! !

The little ghost is still standing aside and watching, if Duan Xiang knows that there is a second man here...
