Cute Beast Food Garden

The large Chongshan pig captured by the hunters accidentally escaped during Lehong's "sightseeing", and almost destroyed Lejia's yard.Fortunately, Dong Mo escaped the catastrophe by punching it flying at a critical moment.

After experiencing such an accident, Si Dongmo placed his mischievous younger brother at home and told him not to go out and run around again, and then hurried on the road.He and Qi Yan accelerated their progress, and finally arrived at the town within the time limit agreed with Boss Lan.

After not coming to Luoxia Town for a while, Qi Yan felt differently.In midsummer and early autumn, the town was once very bustling, the streets were full of people and traffic, and countless vendors were doing business here, so it was very lively.But now that the weather is getting colder, the commercial transactions that were once in full swing have gradually become rare. Apart from the local residents, there are very few vendors from other places in the town, and the streets and alleys are much cooler.

Qi Yan looked around while walking, looking at the sparse passers-by and scattered small vendors on the street, he muttered to himself: "I always feel that the atmosphere here is different from before."

Looking sideways and seeing Si Dongmo's questioning gaze, he added: "I think, apart from the lack of people, this town is still a bit cold."

When he said cold, he didn't just mean that the weather was getting colder.This is an inexplicable subtle feeling. The once prosperous town is now a bit withered, and half of the shops on the food street are closed.The sky was cloudy, and the cool wind swept through the cold air, spreading on the road in bursts.

Dong Mo stretched out his arms and gently embraced Qi Yan's shoulders.The sky was gloomy, and neither of them had any desire to speak, they just walked forward side by side silently.

When he was approaching the restaurant, Qi Yan smelled a scent, took a closer look, and saw Boss Yuan's Yuan Yuan Bun Shop was still open, and the round Boss Yuan was busy moving Baozi, while chatting with the cooks.

Qi Yan suddenly felt a little hungry when he smelled the fragrant buns.

"Dongmo, do you want to eat buns?"

Dong Mo shook his head, "I'm not too hungry."

"Okay, you wait here for a while, I'll go buy a bun to eat."

As he said that, Qi Yan counted a few copper coins from his pocket, and walked forward joyfully.Looking at his back, which was alive and kicking like a child, Dongmo smiled and stayed where he was.

Qi Yan picked out a chicken bun and a fish-flavored shredded pork bun from Boss Yuan. These buns are cheap and small in size, but they smell really attractive.Sniffing twice, he opened his mouth as he walked back, and sent the buns in.

Suddenly, my mouth was empty.

Opening his eyes again, Qi Yan saw in a daze——the steamed stuffed bun in his hand was gone!

For a moment, he thought that Boss Yuan sold him a magical bun that would disappear, but when he looked up again, he saw a black shadow rushing away from his feet with his bun in its mouth. The doorway and the wall were scurrying and scurrying, slipping away to the distance without stopping.

"Wait—come back!"

Without even thinking about it, Qi Yan immediately put the remaining bun in his pocket into his pocket, and immediately ran after him.He is light and long-legged, and he runs as nimbly and briskly as a deer.With the whistling wind in his ears, he was getting closer and closer to the black shadow that was flying forward.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from far to near, and one didn't need to look back to know that Si Dongmo must have caught up.He ran extremely fast, and soon passed Qi Yan and the escapee one after another, and landed firmly in front of them.The two of them pushed the little black guy into a dead corner one by one.

The little thing that stole the bun was blocked in a narrow alley. It looked left and right, but couldn't find a way to escape, and slowly shrank towards the wall.

Looking closer, Qi Yan realized that the black shadow turned out to be a kitten.

But unlike the cute fluffy cat, this cat looks very fierce and not cute at all.It has extremely long and narrow hanging eyes, and the eyes are shining with a dark green light. Its fur is dark and slender, and its mouth with a bun in its mouth shows sharp hook-like teeth. It is a ferocious beast like a tiger and leopard.

Facing the siege of Qi Yan and Si Dongmo, the black feline arched its body vigilantly, the hair on its back stood up one by one like long needles, and a low gurgling sound came out of its throat.It waved its long claws menacingly at them, scraping the hard stone floor with a screeching noise.

Qi Yan cautiously kept a distance from it.Seeing the dark green in the black cat's eyes, he felt an ominous feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help whispering: "This cat looks a bit fierce. Dongmo, if you forget it, then give it the bun, we don't want it anymore .”

Dong Mo lowered his eyes.The black cat looked at him without flinching, with a cold glint in its eyes.It slowly grinds its claws and fangs, and growls from its throat.

He nodded and said softly: "Okay, let's go back."

The two backed away from the alley.Turning his head, he saw the black cat standing in place from a distance, and after staring at them for a while, he flicked his tail, with a bun in his mouth, and ran away into the distance with a muffled grunt.

After walking away from the alley, Si Dongmo said to Qi Yan in a low voice: "Your decision is correct. That thing is not an ordinary strange beast, but a fierce beast."

"Ferocious beast?"

"Well, it's a strange beast that has been contaminated with devilish energy, its appearance and mind are far from ordinary beasts." Si Dongmo led him forward, "Sui Mengyan is also a kind of fierce beast. This kind of strange beast has a fierce and aggressive personality, and most of them are poisonous, so let's not suffer from this immediate disadvantage."

Qi Yan nodded, and replied seriously: "Understood. Most of the strange beasts are quite gentle, and the black cat just now made me feel uncomfortable. In the future, when I meet such weird guys, I will be careful not to provoke them of."

Dong Mo stroked his soft hair, "So good."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan pursed his mouth on purpose: "You say that like I am some naive child. Obviously we are about the same age."

Dong Mo didn't take it seriously, "What about the child? Besides, I'm already older than you, and I'm already in my early twenties."

Qi Yan's eyes widened: "You're only twenty?"

Dong Mo nodded, a little aggrieved: "Yeah, don't I look like that?"

"Hey, maybe you're too mature, I always thought you were much older than me..."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then the man muttered with some doubts: "However, it's nothing more than remote mountain villages and countryside. How can there be strange beasts in our small town? The only place where they originated is The Demon Kingdom of the Northern Territory occasionally comes to other countries from the Demon Realm, but...it is the first time I see it appearing in a busy city with a large number of people."

"That said, it's really strange..."

While chatting, they walked to the restaurant.Before entering the room, Qi Yan suddenly sniffed and smelled a strong fragrance of grass coming from inside.

"What kind of aroma is this?"

Si Dongmo guessed: "It's some kind of fish soup that's newly served in the restaurant. You see, it's getting colder and colder, and it's time for hot soup in the store. The ginseng chicken soup we made last time is quite good. "

As he said that, he opened the door and entered the house.The guy who was busy in the dining hall saw him, and immediately greeted him with a happy smile: "Brother Mo, Qi Yan, are you back? Boss Lan is upstairs in the private room."

"OK, thanks."

Passing by among the diners, I saw hot soups on many tables along the way, including chicken soup, fish soup, vegetable soup, and soups stewed from unknown types of meat. The steaming mist was light The ground permeates the house, and the elegant fragrance lingers and nourishes people's senses of nose and mouth.

Dong Mo was right, most of the people in the restaurant ordered soup, and the ginseng glutinous rice chicken that Qi Yan thought of earlier was very popular among customers, basically one out of every three hot soups ordered by customers Canned ginseng chicken.

"Cuckoo-"

Smelling the warm aroma, Qi Yan, who ate one bun less because he was snatched by the fierce cat, felt a little hungry again.

They went up to the second floor of the restaurant with ease, and found the private room where Boss Lan often sat.I knocked on the door outside, and Boss Lan's voice quickly came from inside: "Please come in."

Qi Yan walked in first, but found that Boss Lan was not the only one in the private room.Sitting by the window was a man they were familiar with——

"Inspector Su?"

Master Su leisurely half leaned on the soft chair by the window.In the past, when Qi Yan saw him, he was always dressed in a neat official uniform. He looked serious and dignified, which made people respect him at a distance.But this time he was only wearing simple plain casual clothes, which set off his sword eyebrows, starry eyes, upright and handsome, really eye-catching.

Seeing Qi Yan and Si Dongmo appear, Governor Su pursed his lips, smiled slightly, and nodded at them.

"Master Su, I didn't expect to see you here today."

Qi Yan rolled his eyes, and saw Boss Lan and Governor Su sitting alone on one side of the small table, with two cups of tea and a pair of fans simply placed on the table, the tea was still half full, and there was steaming hot smoke , obviously just came here not long ago.

Stopping his steps, Qi Yan felt that he came at the wrong time, and hesitantly wanted to drag Dong Mo out first.Since Governor Su met Boss Lan, he has always been a little "interested" in this beautiful woman, but due to his busy schedule and lack of opportunities, it has been difficult to see him face to face.

Now, the two finally had a chance to meet and talk, Qi Yan didn't want to be a light bulb and disturb their rare meeting.

Inspector Su didn't care about these things, he smiled modestly and made a "please" gesture to the table.

"Today, the governor just came to Boss Lan to drink tea and chat about the old days. You don't have to be cautious, just sit down as you like. The governor also wants to learn about the things in the village..."

Seeing that he stayed with each other sincerely, Qi Yan and Dong Mo stayed in the room and told Governor Su intermittently about the situation of the plague of devils and insects in the field.After hearing this, Inspector Su frowned and said, "It's not just you Lezhuang, there are also a lot of monsters in other villages and towns in Hongye County, most of them are monsters, and there are also a few fierce beasts. There will be such a large number of monsters frequently appearing in the territory of Zhu Country."

Qi Yan thought of the ferocious cat that snatched his bun just now, "Master Su, Dong Mo and I saw a ferocious black cat on the way here, it looks like a ferocious beast."

"Has the vicious beast spread to the town..." Inspector Su muttered to himself, with a layer of sadness on his face.Boss Lan answered: "It is said that there has always been a small and secret trade of monsters in Dazhu Country. These beasts may have been brought into the country by traders for sale."

"Yes, last time the commissioner of the Ministry of Punishment found a lot of dangerous beasts that Qin Sishou raised privately in Qin Sishou's mansion. Most of them were collected for him by the animal hall. The plague of insects is still a fierce cat, with such a large number of monsters haunting the territory of Zhu Kingdom, except for the part that was secretly bought by the merchants of the beast hall, there are still more than usual numbers of monsters sneaking into the territory of the country to be active. This is extremely abnormal."

His words made everyone present think of a possibility——

"Is the Demon Kingdom going to war with the Zhu Kingdom?"

And those inexplicable monsters, could they be the advance troops sent by the Demon Kingdom to the Zhu Kingdom?

Inspector Su stared silently at the teacup that was slowly steaming.

"This governor shouldn't say too much on this matter..." Governor Su took a sip of tea, "However, as we all know, the Devil Kingdom and Zhu Kingdom have deep grievances, and there will be a battle sooner or later. Hongye County is near the border between the two countries. Not far away, it may become a big stronghold for the Demon Kingdom to march into the Zhu Kingdom. Luoxia Town is crowded with fish and dragons, if you see suspicious people around the restaurant, please report to the Yamen in time."

"Ok, I see."

"Moreover, besides the demons... there is another kind of people that you need to pay close attention to. They call themselves the 'Black Feather Army', and they have been active on the borders of the Zhu Kingdom recently."

"Black Feather Army?" Qi Yan had never heard of this name before, "What is this? Is it the army of demons?"

"To be precise, they are a militia group of the people of Zhu State." Governor Su's face was a little dignified. A civilian army, calling itself 'Black Feather'. This black feather army was originally dedicated to assisting the government of Zhu State and resisting the invasion of the Demon Kingdom.

However, after the Demon Kingdom retreated, the Black Feather Army, which had begun to take shape, was not disbanded, and was still wandering in the territory.In recent years, the hostile target of the Black Feather Army has changed from the demons to the court of the Zhu Kingdom. They incite the people to fight against the yamen, and often cause trouble in the county. "

Qi Yan rationalized his thoughts, "So now there are both foreign and internal worries?" Thinking of the chaotic situation in Zhu's country, his heart was heavy and gloomy.

"Well. However, the Black Feather Army is currently at most only fighting against the court, and generally will not easily harm ordinary people. The most urgent thing to do is to be vigilant against the demons and monsters who have infiltrated the town. If you find anything unusual, please notify the governor immediately."

While talking, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and it was not the waiter who came in with a pot of thick soup, but the Fengfeng Beast.

Seeing this, Boss Lan stood up, and asked with some doubts: "Gu Feng Beast, why are you here?"

The wind blowing beast rattled twice, and its stomach full of air swelled into a big ball, floating in the air unsteadily.A soup basin was held in the two thick short claws, which contained warm fresh soup.

"Ouch."

The wind blowing beast faintly floated over the small table in the private room.When it passed by, Qi Yan's nose moved, and he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

Is this guy drinking?

I saw Gufeng Beast staggeringly put the thick soup on the table, then turned around, staring at Mr. Su sitting opposite Boss Lan with a pair of small eyes.Its eyes are puffed out, but its eyes are a little erratic and blurred, and a thick layer of blush has appeared on its face. Its balloon-shaped body is swaying in the air, and it seems that it is not lightly drunk.

Boss Lan felt that it was unusual, and stepped forward to pull it aside.However, the moment Boss Lan's hand touched its tail, the Blowing Wind Beast suddenly stretched out its two claws, roared, and rushed towards Governor Su!

Witnessing the brown-red ball heading towards him, Governor Su put one hand on the table, jumped in the air nimbly, turned around, and avoided the crooked impact of the wind blowing beast.

He landed lightly on the ground, looking warily at the strange beast that suddenly attacked him, his expression tensed slightly.

Boss Lan quickly caught up and grabbed the little tail of the wind blowing beast.With a sullen expression on his face, he scolded: "Blow Wind Beast, stop! What do you want to do?"

Hearing the master's angry question, the brown-red ball turned around abruptly, its small eyes glistening with anger.

"Aww, gah!"

Boss Lan dragged Gufeng Beast back, and tapped its big head twice with his finger bones: "Gufeng Beast, what happened to you today? Why did you suddenly attack Mr. Su?"

"Aw, ah!"

The Gufeng Beast made a violent struggle, and escaped from Boss Lan's restraint with a burst of brute force.It floated crookedly in the air, across from Boss Lan, it shouted hoarsely at Governor Su, and it smelled strongly of alcohol.

Inspector Su didn't know why, but he could see the resentment on Gu Feng Beast's face, so he took a few steps back rationally and stood by the door.

The next moment, the wind blowing beast puffed up its belly and charged towards him again.

"Aww!" it yelled, drunkenly, its bulging body shot straight away like a ball.However, just before it hit the governor, Qi Yan rushed forward and slapped it head-on.Taking advantage of the time when the guy was being beaten in circles in the air, Dong Mo rushed forward and pressed it to the ground.

"Blowing Wind Beast, stop moving!"

The silly beast struggled violently. Seeing its body getting bigger and bigger, Qi Yan hurriedly followed and helped Dongmo hold it down.

"Huhu—" I saw the wind blowing beast kept inhaling, and its spherical body swelled to the limit.Then there was a loud "hiccup", and the bulging ball exploded completely, and a strong alcohol smell spread rapidly to the surroundings, instantly knocking the two people who held it down to the ground.

"Wow!" Qi Yan and Dong Mo fell on their backs one after another and fell into a ball on the floor.

Finally, a huge wine belch was released, and the wind blowing beast's body collapsed like a deflated ball, and it limply lay on the ground.It looked at Boss Lan tearfully, and stretched out its two paws with difficulty, wanting the beauty to hug it.

Boss Lan squatted down beside it.Suddenly, I heard the mouth of Gufeng Beast open and close a few times, and spit out a few words vaguely.Dong Mo and Governor Su were far away, so they didn't hear it, and thought that Gufeng Beast was struggling to ask Boss Lan for help; however, Qi Yan, who was closest to Gufeng Beast, heard it clearly.

He was so startled that the hairs on his back stood up stiffly one by one, his head and face were covered with cold sweat, and even his mind, which was intoxicated by the smell of alcohol, became sober in panic.

Gufeng Beast looked straight at Boss Lan, and the words that came out of its mouth were: "Zeqing, Lan Zeqing..."

Qi Yan stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Zeqing, Lan Zeqing, what do you mean?

What's even more frightening is... the wind blowing beast, it... it actually spoke human words in front of him, and the words it spoke were very clear, different from the usual hoarse groaning and rattling.

After saying those five words, the Gufeng Beast's mouth crooked, its eyes rolled, and it fell into a coma again.The snoring suddenly broke out in the room, and the strong smell of alcohol permeated the entire room.
