Hot as China, cold as snow

one hundred and seven

There is a notice posted on the notice board not far from the city lord's mansion. The offshore city is familiar with the road, and there is no shopping there, almost directly rushing to the notice.Lan Linghu followed Lishang, and saw a piece of yellowed paper pasted on the notice board. Although the paper was yellow, it was still new. down.This action caused a commotion among the surrounding people who were watching and stopped.Immediately, there was an official officer in official uniform standing in front of the two of them. The officer stood up straight, and he could be seen as an expert in inner and outer kung fu. The two front teeth are too big, and his eyes swept up and down: "Who are you two who opened the notice, come with me!"

Offshore didn't even blink his eyes, and shook the yellow paper in his hand expressionlessly: "Lead the way!" The messenger directly took the two of them to the city lord's mansion. While walking and looking around, I saw the garden and the gazebo. There were two people standing in the gazebo, one fat and the other thin, far apart, and covered by pillars and flower branches. The blue spirit fox vaguely saw a touch of purple. , like a dragon chant.But I heard the poor man say: "You two rest in the living room first, the city lord is receiving important guests, and he will be there later." When Lan Linghu blinked and turned around to take a closer look, he saw that no one was there. I had no choice but to give up, Xu Shi was really wrong.

The two sat on the stool and waited for a long time. The blue spirit fox who waited was really bored. He read the words on the yellow paper three times, and sometimes stood up and walked around to take a look. He stood up again and turned around in a circle. On the other hand, he was not in a hurry or annoyed when he left the shore, and he was lightly drinking tea.Lan Linghu sat on the stool and lay down on the table, watching the movement of drinking tea offshore: "Why do you think of being a bounty hunter?"

"Just going back to old business."

"Is it interesting for you to drink water like this?"

"If you've been alone in the same place for 1 years, you might think it's nothing."

"Then have you ever stayed like this?"

"Yes."

Lan Linghu blinked, thinking that he was much better than him, at least in your Cangqiong Snow Mountain and Chimang and Xiyuan. Some sympathized with him, so he calmed down and wanted to comfort Lishang, but thinking of Su He, who never People who have seen it said: "Then I will be with you from now on until someone else is with you, so that you will not be lonely." With a smile on his face, he said with a smile: "Don't always be so stiff." Offshore surprisingly didn't stop him, but the appearance of being pinched by Lan Linghu was really not very good-looking, he gently reached out and patted Lan Linghu Lan Linghu let go of his face's hand.

"I heard that someone revealed the notice, but you two?"

Hearing the sound, Lan Linghu raised his head and saw a fat bald man approaching. The clothes on this man made Lan Linghu's eyes brighten. This man was one of the people Lan Linghu saw at the pavilion.The poor man stood beside him and said respectfully: "This is the Lord City Master." The poor man frowned and said, "I'm not getting up to meet you yet." She didn't move from the shore, she was still drinking tea, and Lan Linghu didn't move either.The city lord and Li Hai looked at each other for a full minute, there was a little anger in the eyes, then surprise, and finally cloudy eyeballs again.Lan Linghu's sensitive facial features sensed the dark battle between the two.The city lord rubbed his bald head, narrowed his cloudy eyeballs and said with a smile: "No problem, no problem, as a warrior or a chivalrous man, he has some personality, which is understandable. As long as he can catch the murderer, it will be for the benefit of the people." A meritorious person." The city lord said, walked to the seat and sat down, took a sip of tea and said: "You know the situation! Then I won't say more, I caught the murderer." He stretched out three fingers.

"Only thirty ingots of silver?" Lan Linghu asked and nodded: "That's enough, I can stay in the inn for a long time."

The squat city lord shook his bald head and said, "No, it's three hundred ingots of gold."

"What?" Lan Linghu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and began to wonder how many chickens could be bought with three hundred ingots of gold: "So many?" I didn't even figure out how much it was with my fingers, but I just nodded and looked at Liao'an: "I finally know why Li'an is so rich."

"A wealthy businessman in the city paid to catch this murderous maniac." However, he heard the city lord say: "In the beginning, some small animals such as chickens and ducks died, and later some cattle and sheep died inexplicably in the pen. The people just thought it was some kind of beast. It was picked up. It was only when the worst case spread to someone dying at home that I realized the seriousness of the matter. One person died in three days. There is no time to deal with the banditry. The panic of the people in the city, I have to use a lot of effort to suppress it, I give you five days to catch the murderous maniac."

Reaching out his hand from the shore, the words were still pitiful: "Deposit."

The city lord clapped his hands, and a maid came up with a tray covered with a red square scarf. Offshore, he lifted the scarf and took a look at the neat four rows of metal ingots placed on it. A lot of paper money, the city owner said: "This is a deposit, 100 taels of gold, and I will give you the remaining 200 taels of gold ingots after the matter is completed."

After collecting the money offshore, just say one thing to the city lord, you wait for the news!He didn't hide his skill any more, turned around and left, Lan Linghu hurriedly followed, walked away and asked: "Is he so relieved to give you the money?"

"The poor man behind the city lord has a good hand, not an ordinary person."

"Fairy? I didn't see it, it doesn't look like it! What the hell is that?" Lan Linghu asked for a long time, but Lianhe ignored him.Lan Linghu had no choice but to give up this question and asked again: "Why did you take all the money away and give me half of the points!"

"What do you want the money for?"

"Of course I bought the chicken!" Lan Linghu, sure enough, was a fox, and his eyes lit up when he mentioned the chicken.

"I'll buy it for you." A word from Lian'an blocked Lan Linghu's mouth. He thought for a while, okay, let's agree to Lian'an, which deepened his thinking.

During the day, Lan Linghu followed the offshore to the scene of the crime, and then went to the morgue. Lan Linghu didn't see anything, but the corpses in the morgue, whether they were animals or people, had The tooth marks are obviously the tooth marks of animals, and Li Yan said with certainty: "It really is a monster."

Lan Linghu glanced at him, nonsense, everyone can see this.

That night, Li An released his divine sense to cover the entire city. Li An's divine sense was very powerful, and he could easily detect any movement.After midnight, the two of them noticed a change in the southeast corner of the city.

The two rushed over, and saw a young woman sneaking lightly in the dark night.She has sensitive senses and is very cautious. Whenever there is a turmoil, she stops, listens and looks around. When she sees that there is no one around, just the wind is blowing the branches, she gently tiptoes and walks around.It was already midnight, the lights of Wanjia had been extinguished, and she quietly slipped into the courtyard of a rich man, and came straight to the chicken coop. The chickens that were sleeping peacefully in the chicken coop started fluffing up one by one, saying 'ohhhh' Screaming, the woman carefully looked in the direction of the owner of the house, and saw that there was no movement, so she bit the chicken's neck, which seemed to be a delicacy.At this time, Li An raised the Yaozhu sword and pointed it at the woman.The woman turned pale with fright, one hand was still holding the neck of the chicken, while the other hand was protecting her stomach, she was almost suffocated under the strong oppression from offshore, unable to speak or move, only her eyesight But with tears.

"Wait a minute." Lan Linghu stopped Li'an, for fear that he would kill the woman, but he knew how much Li'an hated monsters, and wished to see them kill each other.The sword in Li Yan's hand loosened at the sound, and the woman took advantage of the gap to drop the chicken in her hand and ran away.

The woman was so panicked that she didn't know where to go, her cultivation was so shallow that she could run away, she only gave Lan Linghu a sidelong glance, and then chased after her.Lan Linghu saw that Liao's sword was about to pass through the back of the woman's heart, and Lan Linghu was anxious, so he threw himself on the woman to block Liao's demon-killing sword.Li An stopped his sword and glared: "What are you doing?" Li An ignored him, and only tried to comfort the person in front of him: "Girl, don't be afraid, don't run away, we won't hurt you." The woman cautiously Looking at the angry li shang, he tightly covered his stomach with one hand.Lan Linghu noticed that the stomach was slightly swollen, he turned his head and said to Li An: "It wasn't her who killed, she didn't smell of human life, she was just stealing chickens to eat, you don't have to kill them all! Let her go! "Lan Linghu saw that there was no response from the offshore, and immediately turned into the appearance of Lan Linghu. The woman next to her was surprised when she saw it: "You can let me go and the good time when you were killing demons on the sky snow mountain, why now? Can't let her, a weak woman, let alone a mother who is about to become a mother, are you so cold-blooded and have no sympathy at all? There are good and bad monsters. If you see one and kill another, it is no different from a devil ?” Li Hai didn’t make any excuses, but put away the sword in his hand and stood there coldly.At this time, Lan Linghu changed back to human form and helped the woman who was still sitting on the ground: "What's your name? Why did you steal other people's chickens?" Seeing the woman bowed her head and said nothing, she hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, I will You are a fox demon just like you." Lan Linghu automatically ignored the fact that he had entered the fairy level.At this moment, a man came running not far away, calling the woman's name in a low voice: "Ah Bai!"

The woman rushed over to hug the man when she heard the sound, the man saw Li Hai and Lan Linghu, although they were flustered, they still protected the woman: "Who are you and what do you want?" He opened his arms and pushed the woman back, as if He looked at the two of them as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Su!" The woman said softly, looking in the direction of Lan Linghu: "He saved me, they didn't want to do anything, it was my fault, they stole things from others." After hearing this, the man named Su Then, he hurried back to hug the woman, regardless of the person standing next to him, and said with a trembling voice, it was very painful: "It's my fault, it's my inability, I can't take care of you, I don't blame you, I know you You need nutrition while pregnant, and I have no money, so you come out in the middle of the night."

"So that's how it is!" Lan Linghu tugged at the sleeve of Lian'an, and pointed to the man named Su. The clothes on Su's body were washed white and had been patched several times. At a glance, he knew that he was a poor man. He pulled away from the shore: "It's really pitiful, help them! I know you are cold-hearted and warm-hearted, and you will definitely not sit idly by, right." Lan Linghu said and stretched out his hand: "Take out Give them some money! At the very least, I can buy some food supplements or something, and I can stop eating meat for the next few days, I promise." Lan Linghu stretched out three fingers to point to the sky, and then said with a smile: "Little fox! It was lovely to come out."

As soon as Lan Linghu said this, Su's face turned pale, and the woman named Bai said beside him: "Su, don't worry, you won't be a fox like me, and you will definitely give birth to a child who is as handsome as you .”

Su kissed the woman's head and said, "It's my child, no matter what it is, I love it the same." Only then did Lan Linghu realize that he seemed to have said something wrong, and was a little annoyed that he just said that he gave birth to a fox. !

"It's a human, and the child is a human. If the man is a monster and the woman is a human being, the child will be a half-demon; otherwise, the woman will be a monster and the man will be a human, and the child will be a human." Offshore indifferently Said, and by the way reached out and took out some money to throw into Lan Linghu's hands.Lan Linghu took the purse and asked curiously, "How do you know? Could it be that you have given birth?" These words successfully made Li Bian, who had just softened his face, black again.

Su hurriedly interrupted with a smile: "There are no words to express my gratitude. It's getting so late, why don't you sit in the humble house."

Looking at Lan Linghu from the shore, he responded with a smile, and remembered what happened not long ago. It seemed that Su He, the god of war, was still fighting with him at that time.I also met such an unruly monster who crossed borders. He clearly knew that the combination of human and monster is not natural, but he still wanted to go together. I remember that at that time, Su He mercilessly ended the pair of mandarin ducks who were holding hands even to death. There was still a bloodthirsty light in Su He's eyes.Now that I think about it, I feel a little too heartless. If it wasn't for Lan Linghu's embrace today, would there be two more innocent souls under the Yaozhu sword, one corpse and two lives.
