Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

It is estimated that Zhan Bai's expressions were too shocked, Su Liran hurriedly explained what happened.

It turned out that after Zhanbai and the others left, Pang Tong kept pestering Gongsun. Gongsun got a headache from the quarrel, so he simply threw a hoe to him, and then said, "Aren't you free? Go and help me hoe a piece of land. Those seeds were all planted."

Zhan Zhao had a look of disbelief: "Then he really went? A dignified general, now he is hoeing in the backyard?"

Su Liran nodded: "Mr. Gongsun said that as long as you do a good job, you will be rewarded with a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed by yourself. After that, General Pang was so happy that he took a hoe and went to dig the ground with a hoe... Unexpectedly, the wine made by Mr. Gongsun So attractive, it seems that I need to ask Mr. Gongsun for advice on how to make wine, I wonder if Mr. Gongsun is willing to teach it privately..."

Zhan Zhao supported his forehead: "The focus is wrong..."

"The point?"

Bai Yutang continued: "The point is not whether the wine is good or bad, but the person who makes it."

Su Liran was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly: "I can understand that Mr. is popular?"

"Brother Su, if you want to think this way, you can... reluctantly... you can... accept it..." Zhan Zhao struggled to finish speaking while tugging at his neckline, then heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "By the way, there are not enough medicinal herbs in Kaifeng Mansion. So, why did brother Su go out and buy it by himself?"

"At first I wanted to stay here to help Mr. Gongsun, but General Flying Star took over all the work. I was standing there with nothing to do. I happened to remember that he and Da Ni used a lot of medicinal materials from Kaifeng Mansion these days. I just thought about going to buy some and bring them back for resupply.”

"Well, you don't need to go out on purpose. Although Kaifeng Mansion is not a treasury, there are still some medicines. Brother Su, don't worry."

Su Liran smiled and said: "Da Ni is bored staying in the house all day long, so it's good to take him out for a walk."

Zhan Zhao looked at Dani who kept nodding his head in an excited state, so he nodded and said, "Okay then, which pharmacy is Brother Su planning to go to? The two most famous pharmacies in the capital have gone wrong, so we should go to It won't work."

"I heard from Mr. Gongsun that the medicinal materials in Ji'an Pharmacy are not bad, but it is far away. We are planning to go there."

"Ji'an Pharmacy?" Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang with his elbow, "You seem to be on the same road as us, rat?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao speechlessly: "Mao'er, you seem to know the capital better than me, right? My family is in Beijing..."

Zhan Zhao laughed: "I'm sorry, sorry, I seem to be used to asking you about everything recently... Then what, there is a mouse in the house, if there is a treasure, isn't it!"

Bai Yutang leaned over and patted Zhan Zhao's head: "It doesn't matter, as long as you admit that I am your family."

"En! Huh?" Zhan Zhao blinked, "When did you get married? Also, why did you forget the distance of a sword!"

Bai Yutang took a step back gracefully, then turned his head and said to Su Liran: "Brother Su, if you don't mind, let's go on the road together. I will go out with this cat to handle the case."

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched: "Hey, you mouse has actually learned how to change the subject, the turning point is very stiff, okay?"

"Didn't I learn that from you?"

"what?!"

The cat and the mouse were still arguing there, Su Gui, who was following behind the two, finally couldn't help asking his young master: "I said son, don't you see that these two adults seem to be so tricky?"

Su Liran said: "It's rare that your wooden fish head can see the tricks."

"Hey, no, what kind of aura, I always feel that I will get goose bumps when I stay with them, and the fifth master obviously heard that he is very cold-tempered. It seems like the spring breeze has entered..."

Su Liran took Dani's hand and walked not far from Shumao and Shumao: "So, you haven't found a wife until now...it's not without reason."

"Eh?"

Su Liran's red eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled strangely: "Kaifeng Mansion, what an interesting place." He looked at Zhan Zhao, who was dressed in fiery red, and Bai Yutang, who was bickering with each other, thought to himself : However, the most interesting thing is this imperial cat.

After a few people walked away for a while, Su Gui suddenly said: "By the way, young master, you know that I took Da Ni to buy sugar yesterday, did you hear what the neighbors talked about this case?"

Su Liran shook his head, Zhan Zhao also stopped arguing with Bai Yutang, and looked back at Su Gui.

Su Gui saw that everyone focused on himself all of a sudden, and said in a somewhat proud and mysterious way: "Because two people died, and then everyone didn't know why, and they all said that this was not done by humans!"

"Not a human?" Su Liran smiled, "Could it be a ghost?"

He just said it so simply, but Su Gui's expression changed, and then he shook his head vigorously and said, "Hey, it's not a ghost or a ghost, it's something scarier than a ghost!"

Zhan Zhao looked curious: "Something scarier than ghosts? What is it?"

Su Gui swallowed, pretending to be deep and asked: "Does Master Zhan know about '魃'?"

"drought demon?"

Su Liran interrupted: "You bastard, where did you hear that there are such things, whether they are ghosts or ghosts, they are just deceptive things, they don't exist in the world, let alone..."

Su Gui hurriedly interrupted Su Liran's words, clasped his hands together and said in a hurry: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sir, don't offend ghosts and gods! It's easy to cause trouble!"

"What is '魃'?" Dani pulled Zhan Zhao's hand, raised his head and opened his big eyes and asked in puzzlement.

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang shrugged to express that he didn't know, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to look at Su Liran for help.

Su Liran saw Zhan Zhao's appearance of "I don't want to be ashamed in front of the children and say I don't know", so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Da Ni, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep at night after hearing this?"

Da Ni shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Da Ni will share a room with brother Su Gui at night!"

Su Liran said: "Okay, but these things are nothing more than listening to them, they can't be taken as real."

Zhan Zhao and Dani nodded in unison, looking eager to hear the story.

"Do you know zombies? There are rumors that zombies are born from the collection of resentment, death, and bad luck. Their bodies are stiff and inconvenient. Feed on blood and become a terrifying monster."

"There are six levels of monsters like zombies, namely white zombies, black zombies, jumping corpses, flying corpses, 魃, and 犼. Among them, 犼 has become the mount of Buddha, and 魃 is a zombie that has almost become a demon. There are legends that they can change their figures and appearances to confuse people, they can slay dragons and dry the sky, and they can extradite plague gods, and some people call them the 'King of Zombies'."

Zhan Zhao frowned: "Feed on blood, change your body and appearance?"

Seeing Zhan Zhao's expression as if he had thought of something, Bai Yutang was about to ask, when he heard Dani next to him burst into tears.The crowd had no choice but to comfort Dani not to cry in a hurry, otherwise the big guys thought that this group of people was abducting and selling children along the way...

After a few people managed to appease the scared and crying Ni, they separated after talking for a while. According to Bai Yutang's calculation, the two finally found a porcelain shop.

Zhan Zhao looked at the porcelain shop, and asked Bai Yutang a little tangled, "Hey, mouse, it's not that I don't believe you, but the last two times were drug stores, so it doesn't make sense to become a porcelain shop this time, right?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while and said, "There is nothing wrong with the reasoning. According to the map drawn by Gongsun, it should be here."

Zhan Zhao was not familiar with the shops in this area, so he felt that standing in front of others like this was not an option, so he said to Bai Yutang, "Let's go in and ask the shop owner, maybe we can get some clues."

Bai Yutang nodded, the two were about to enter the store, when the people in the store just took out the door panels and were about to close the door, Zhan Zhao was stunned, seeing that the sun had just set and it was still early, so he asked a little strangely: "So Close early?"

The person who closed the door turned around and when he saw the official uniform on Zhan Zhao, he hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, our small shop didn't close so early in the first place, but it's just that the capital has been bleeding strangely these days. Everyone If you are worried, you might as well close the door earlier to rest."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and then asked, "Are you the shop owner?"

The man saluted respectfully again, and then said: "The villain's surname is Li, and he is the owner of this Lu'an Porcelain Store. I don't know what the official is asking for the villain?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Zhan Zhao in Kaifeng Mansion, this is Bai Yutang, sorry to bother you, but I just want to ask the shopkeeper, have you encountered any unusual people or things recently?"

When Boss Li heard that it was Zhan Zhao, he was taken aback for a while, and then hurriedly invited the two of them into the store, watching the seats and serving tea, which made Zhan Zhao feel embarrassed all of a sudden.

After Boss Li made a pot of tea for Zhan Bai and the others, he said, "The two adults came to us to investigate the case. I guess they found some clues? The villain has heard from those people in the past few days that the two dead are all from the capital city. The head of a leading pharmacy, and his death is horrifying, saying that it is not like something a human can do..."

Zhan Zhao said: "We are still investigating the case, but this matter also needs the help of the store, and help to pay attention to whether there are any strange things happening recently."

Boss Li thought for a while and murmured: "Well, there seems to be nothing special recently... To be honest, the villain has only moved here for a month, and he usually stays in the store. I seldom move around here, and occasionally listen to the neighbors chatting, so..."

Zhan Zhao frowned, and asked, "One month? Then, what business was this store doing before?"

Boss Li replied: "It's a breakfast shop... The previous shop owner said that because the road here was expanded, the business was not as good as before, so he just put the shop out and went back to the countryside."

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Bai Yutang was startled and asked, "Expand the road? When will the road be expanded?"

Boss Li raised his head and thought for a while, then said: "It seems that the year before last, when the Uighur King came to visit us, His Majesty deliberately moved the shops on both sides of this road that must be passed. And it became one, and after the purge, a road was given up to the Uighur King... Hey, but some people were unwilling to move, and I don’t know what tricks the court used. It was so lively before..."

Bai Yutang stood up, and asked with a strange expression, "Cat, when did you say that Mr. Gongsun drew that picture?"

"It's been about two or three years, what's the matter?"

Bai Yutang frowned rarely: "We went to the wrong place, not this one!"
