From the Valley of the Wicked to the Town of Demons

The Weihe River was busy with shipping. Lin Xiaochuan sat on the bow of the boat, watching all kinds of sails passing by, he couldn't help being fascinated, and suddenly had a desire to visit the world.

Just when he was thinking wildly, an arrester came over and said that Yi Xing had something to discuss and asked Lin Xiaochuan to go over.

Lin Xiaochuan got up immediately, followed the arrester back to the cabin, and saw Yi Xing and the two arresters sitting around a table, with a chair beside him, which seemed to be reserved for himself.

"Yi Butou, I don't know what's going on."

Lin Xiaochuan was also polite, sat down immediately and asked.

"It's like this. We're going to take a boat to Shanyangkou, then go ashore and walk along the Pingyan Road, heading straight to Yizhou. I don't know if there are other arrangements for the demon town."

Yi Xing didn't say a word, but Wang Yu beside him spoke up. It turned out that God Catcher made an arrangement and asked Lin Xiaochuan for his opinion.

"There is no special arrangement for the demon master, and everything is decided by the God Catcher."

Lin Xiaochuan cupped his hands, saying that there is no problem with the town of demons.

"Since that's the case, then it's settled like this."

Yi Xing spoke, then stood up, turned around and left the cabin, and stood with his hands behind his back.

He really didn't want to talk to Lin Xiaochuan, and he hated it very much.

Li Tong also got up to leave, and only Wang Yu stayed behind, talking with Lin Xiaochuan.

After all, only Wang Yu has never suffered from Lin Xiaochuan, and the two of them have no enmity.

At noon, a boatman cooks, and when it is served, it is a pot of extremely delicious fish soup.

The boatmen are all living on the water, so the level of fishing is really good. The big fish in the pot is the river fresh fish he just caught. It tastes extremely delicious. Lin Xiaochuan put a chopstick into his mouth and grinned. .

"There are no rules."

Before Yi Xing moved his chopsticks, Lin Xiaochuan ate it first, and his face was displeased immediately, but he didn't want to make trouble, so he had to endure it, raised his hand, and picked up a piece of milt.

To say that the most delicious thing about this fish is not the meat, but the white fish, Lin Xiaochuan doesn't know how to eat it, but Yi Xing, a well-travelled headhunter, knows it well.

With a pot of fresh fish soup and two side dishes, everyone who ate this lunch was quite satisfied, and they also praised the boatman's craftsmanship.

After lunch, everyone got busy. The servants were maintaining their weapons, Yi Xing led two policemen to analyze the case, and Lin Xiaochuan continued to return to the bow to blow the air.

Before I knew it, it was night.

There is no moon tonight, the river is too dark, and the Weihe River is a busy channel, there are so many boats coming and going, the boatman is afraid of accidents and dare not go any further, so he immediately pulls the boat aside and asks Yi Xing if he can leave tomorrow morning.

This trip to Yizhou didn't have a specific date, so Yi Xing didn't rush on the way, he just stayed on the boat for a day and felt bored, so he might as well go ashore for a walk, so that's allowed.

However, there are many people who venture into the night, no, a merchant ship is moving forward in this dark Weihe River, for no other reason, just because they are pulling fresh fruits, if there is a delay, they will not be able to sell at a good price when they arrive in the capital up.

"Shopkeeper Xu, although we are old acquaintances, we must make it clear that there is no moon tonight, and the surface of the Weihe River is as black as ink. If you insist on leaving now, if you hit the boat, you will have to pay for it."

The bow of the punting boat muttered to a short and fat man, but the short and fat man waved his hand, disliked him for being too chatty.

"Why are you getting more and more poor-mouthed, this night, even if the river is dark, but we are holding the lamp, no one can see, if we encounter it, we will avoid it.

If I look at it, you just want to cheat my promise first, and then deliberately bump into the boat. How can I not know this trick, don't say too much, at worst, I will make up some hard-earned money for you when you arrive at Balipu. "

After the short and fat man finished speaking, he hid in the cabin, took out the ledger, flipped through it page by page, and ignored the bow.

"Bah, profiteer."

The bow of the boat spat, and hurriedly told the boatman to pay attention to the direction. It was almost impossible to see anything on the pitch-black river, all based on years of experience in making a living on the water.

boom!
There was a loud noise from the side of the ship, and everyone was knocked sideways. They didn't know what happened, and suddenly hit the side of the ship. Everyone hurried over to check and found that it was a small boat.

The boat was empty, and there was no one there. The short and fat shopkeeper Xu looked at it, and called the boatman to push the boat away so that they could continue on their way.

The boatman immediately took the pole and tried to push the boat away, but when the pole was put on the boat, something was wrong, because it seemed that something soft had been poked.

So everyone brought up the headlights, and when they saw it, they couldn't help being shocked, there was a dead body on the boat, and it looked broken and incomplete, it was terrifying.

"Shopkeeper Xu, I said don't walk around at night, something happened, it really happened."

The bow of the boat yelled, and the short and fat man on the side turned pale, but when he heard this, he immediately pretended to be calm and said: "What are you shouting about? What does this have to do with walking at night? It looks like this, most likely it is If you meet a water bandit and stay in Balipu, the worst case is to report to the official."

After speaking, shopkeeper Xu walked into the cabin on his own.

The bow of the boat was helpless, and he didn't want to be troublesome, so he immediately had the boat pushed aside and moved on.

Shopkeeper Xu entered the cabin, and was about to pick up the ledger to continue watching, when suddenly he felt lights flickering, and there seemed to be a shadow swaying in the cabin.Turning his head, he saw a monster with dark green scales all over his body, wide lower body, narrow upper body, feet like duck's feet, and spiked hands, standing in the corner of the cabin.

"You... what are you?"

Shopkeeper Xu exclaimed, and was about to run outside, only to find that there was already a mess outside, and a dozen of these monsters were jumping out of the water, climbing onto the ship's side, chasing and killing the boatman.

"Oh, shopkeeper Xu, I just said, don't walk around at night."

Seeing the shopkeeper Xu coming out, the bow of the boat immediately ran towards him shouting, but a dark figure had already set his sights on him, and before he could get close, he saw the sharp blade-like thorn piercing his back. Immediately, he staggered and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

"Quick, run quickly."

Shopkeeper Xu was so frightened that these monsters not only killed people, but also liked to eat meat. They opened their bloody mouths and bit people's necks. Regardless of whether they struggled or not, they tore off a piece of flesh and chewed it in their mouths, making creaking noises. sound.

Before he could think about it, shopkeeper Xu immediately jumped off the side of the boat. The boat had become a purgatory, and he had to abandon the boat to escape.

Relying on his good water skills, shopkeeper Xu plunged out a few feet away. When his head emerged from the water, the miserable howls on the boat gradually subsided, and a bloody smell filled the air, making people I sniffed it and got goosebumps all over my body.

The scene on the boat couldn't bear to say too much, the monsters were enjoying the gluttonous feast, the shopkeeper Xu took advantage of the monsters not paying attention, and immediately swam towards the shore.

Seeing that the distance to the shore was only more than ten feet away, shopkeeper Xu felt relieved, and thought about reporting to the official tomorrow, and then sending people to take back the goods in the ship. , spend time in peace.

Feeling that his feet touched the ground, shopkeeper Xu knew that he was going ashore, and once he got ashore, he was safe.

No more hesitation, shopkeeper Xu hurriedly jumped a few times, changed his posture, and walked towards the shore.

When he got to the shore, shopkeeper Xu was panting on his back. At this time, the lights of the cargo ship had somehow been extinguished, and the Weihe River was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

"I took a life."

Shopkeeper Xu sighed, he survived the catastrophe this time, hopefully there will be good fortune in the future.

Just when shopkeeper Xu was relaxing, suddenly a figure emerged from the water. This scared shopkeeper Xu enough. He was about to get up and run away, but he found a dark green arm stretching out from the soil, grabbing his ankle.

"Kill, scatter, kill, scatter..."

A monster emerged from the mud and looked at shopkeeper Xu with a grinning grin, revealing a row of sharp white teeth.
