It's Liao Zhai, not Cthulhu

For example, the Melina part is fake.

"So don't come close to me, or you will be unlucky." Qin Yuelou finally sharpened the sword, put away the whetstone, and oiled and maintained this ordinary and ordinary long sword.

Then put the long sword back into the sheath.

"It's getting late, lady boss, please go back too." Qin Yuelou said while holding the sword.

"Don't you want to do something interesting with my family?" The proprietress was very charming.

"If it was in the past, I would have asked you to teach me Deng Dua Lang without hesitation. Unfortunately, the past was the past, and now it is the present. You want to teach me Deng Dua Lang. It's very lame." Qin Yuelou was planning to persuade me at this time. Serve the lady boss.

But the proprietress was persistent: "I don't believe you, you are a gentleman, no man can resist looking at me, unless she is a woman."

"Hey, why don't you listen to whatever you say?" Qin Yuelou shook his head.

"What? Do you want to do something to me? Come if you have the ability." The proprietress patted the mattress.

Qin Yuelou shook his head and walked out of the room on his own.

"You can stay here if you like. I'll give it to you. I'll refund the rent tomorrow." Before closing the door, Qin Yuelou left a message.

The proprietress was stunned, and then she was annoyed: "This kid really doesn't know how to pretend? I'm such a beautiful girl like a flower and jade, why doesn't he go up? Really...he can't do it, can he? His father's, grandma's age, don't you want it for free?"

Qin Yuelou naturally didn't know how the proprietress arranged it, he just went downstairs, held the scabbard, and went out the door.

The target given by the little yellow book is in this Maoer Mountain, but there is more than one target in this Maoer Mountain.

There are many mountain spirits and wild charms in the deep mountains, old forests, and foxes and ghosts are naturally indispensable, and this inn is only brightly lit in a hundred miles around.

Walking out of the inn, the moon and stars are sparse, looking back, it is the inn, as if standing in the world of mortals, it is commonplace to see all kinds of things, if you want to get out, you have to put it down, and burn it down with a fire.

Holding the sword in her arms, Qin Yuelou could hear crying in the distance.

Following the sound, the bright moon is reflected on the quiet lake, and in the moon in the water, there is a woman. From a distance, I can't see clearly, I can only see her taking off her clothes one by one, crying under the moon , sad and sad, just like the pipa, the big strings are like rainstorms, and the small strings are like whispers.

While crying, the woman washed her body with water.

Qin Yuelou upheld the moral standard of seeing no evil, stretched out his hand to block his eyes, walked out,

However, the ring finger and middle finger were withdrawn, only the index finger and the little finger were in the way.

"Girl? Girl? Why are you crying here?" Qin Yuelou approached and asked the weeping woman.

The girl could tell that her figure was uneven just by looking at her upper body. The reason why she only looked at her upper body was because the water in the lake looked a bit deep, only showing the girl's waist and upper body.

The long black hair was also wet, covering most of the skin.

The girl didn't turn her head back, but shrank back a bit in embarrassment, wrapping her jade arms around her, hugged herself, and turned her head quietly, revealing a small half of her plain face.

If the lotus comes out of the water, it is beautiful and simple.

"Thank you, young hero, for your concern. The little girl just suddenly thought of something sad, so she cried." The girl stopped crying, and nodded slightly in greeting.

"So, what's the sad thing?" Qin Yuelou asked the woman.

"The little girl got married at the age of 16, and my mother-in-law beat and scolded me all day long, calling me a hen that couldn't lay eggs. It's been four years, and I still haven't given birth to a child. I want my husband to give me a divorce. Thinking of this, I was very sad, so I told my mother-in-law that I would go to the city to offer incense to Guanyin.

It was said to be incense, but in fact I just wanted to escape from that sad place, and I was sad for a while, so I cried. "

"Hey, what kind of world is this? Why do women make things difficult for women? If you can't give birth, it may not necessarily be your fault." Qin Yuelou comforted the woman in the lake after hearing the words.

"But, then whose fault is it?" The woman still only turned her back to Qin Yuelou, but she also asked Qin Yuelou in a daze.

"Who knows." Qin Yuelou shook her head, "At least this kind of inexplicable mistake can't be imposed on you without complete proof. Let me ask you, did your husband ever take a concubine?"

"Have···"

"Did the concubine give birth to a child?"

"Some have, some don't..."

"The child who is born will definitely not look like your husband when he grows up." Qin Yuelou laughed narrowly.

"So... Young Xia, do you think it's not my fault?" The woman asked Qin Yuelou with her back turned.

Her voice sounded desperate for an answer.

"It's not your fault." Qin Yuelou nodded.

"Thank you, young man." The woman turned around, but disappeared without a trace.

I didn't see anything, not even the whole face, and it was gone.

Instead, Qin Yuelou went back to the inn, as if he didn't care about it at all.

But in the mountains, it was raining heavily again, and it was clear that the moon had just returned and the stars were sparse.

"Why is the weather in the sky the same as the little girl's face? If it changes, it will change." Although Qin Yuelou returned to the inn early, his lower half was wet.

And the guys in the inn were holding their teeth, eating supper, and talking.

Seeing Qin Yuelou enter the door, he didn't shy away from it, and Xiao Er warmly greeted Qin Yuelou to go over and order food to keep warm.

Qin Yuelou didn't refuse, and walked over with a wine gourd.

"Do you remember that years ago, when merchants passed by the lake, they could always hear crying, and then some merchants went to check, and then... tsk tsk, a merchant said that the girl wanted to He wanted to borrow seeds so that he could go back to his in-law's house, so he helped, but after the dawn of spring overnight, the girl disappeared. You said, is it the businessman who is talking big and bragging, or is it true?

Speaking of crying, why haven't we heard anything since we've been here for so long? "

The chef with a big head and a thick neck tells a story that is not so dirty.

Qin Yuelou listened, just drank the wine, shook his head, smacked his mouth, feeling that the wine in his mouth was tasteless.

"Guest officer, do you think this is true?" Xiaoer asked Qin Yuelou.

"Who knows." Qin Yuelou swallowed the clear wine, and replied, "I have to borrow seeds before I dare to go home. One can imagine how vicious that in-law's family must be to stop treating her as a human being."

"How do you say that?" the accountant asked Qin Yuelou.

"I dare not go home until I have borrowed a plant. Is there any need for this family to go back? In the final analysis, the in-law's family just wants to turn the girl into a reproductive machine to pass on the family. It doesn't consider the other party's rights as a human being. The sad thing is that the husband's family is also a woman, but they make things difficult for women everywhere, and I don't know what to make it difficult for? Is it to vent the pain of being abused by her mother-in-law when she was a daughter-in-law? Why do women bother to make things difficult for women?" Qin Yuelou shook his head and said,

"You say, who is at fault for this?"

"It's not the woman's fault anyway."

The proprietress came down from upstairs very depressed, and glared at Qin Yuelou, obviously the proprietress heard what Qin Yuelou said just now.

Qin Yuelou smiled noncommittally: "Drink and drink."

"Done." "Done." "Please."

Several men clinked glasses, clinked bowls and gourds, drank their own wine one after another, and did not answer the conversation.

Poor girl, in that lake, deserted and deserted, but her obsession was always fixed on borrowing seeds during her lifetime, and she dared not go home.

How do I go back to my mother's house?A married girl doesn't even dare to go back to her mother's house, so is it really necessary to go back to her mother's house?

Going back to her husband's house, but waiting to borrow seeds, then there seems to be no need for this husband's house to go back.

There is a father, a mother, and a father-in-law, but there is no one to rely on,

What kind of world is this?

"However, there are people with nose and eyes who have spread the word, has no one come to look for it?" Qin Yuelou thought in his heart and asked.

"Who knows? We've never met, anyway."

Qin Yuelou looked at the pouring rain outside the door, and took another sip of wine.

"With such heavy rain, there will be no sun tomorrow." He murmured to himself.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Holding a sword in her arms, Qin Yuelou walked down the stairs wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat.

The sky was pouring down with rain, accompanied by thunderstorms, sitting in the lobby of the inn, drinking tea leisurely, seeing Qin Yuelou dressed like this, he couldn't help asking.

"Young man, it's raining so heavily, are you still going to go out?" the big stall asked Qin Yuelou.

"Yeah, I have to go out and do some things that are not necessary but must be done." Qin Yuelou replied first.

"With a sharp weapon in his body, he has the intention to kill himself, but he doesn't know what the young hero is going to kill in this deep mountain and old forest? Killing?" Da Taitou asked with a frown.

After hearing this, Qin Yuelou took out the little yellow book from his pocket.

He turned the page of the little yellow book, closed the little yellow book, and showed it to the boss.

The picture on the page is a statue of an eight-armed Bodhisattva, with palms together on the top, meditation in the middle, and the fearless seal and wish seal on the bottom.

The remaining two arms, holding a willow branch in one hand and holding a jade bottle in the other, are male and female, with their eyes closed, as if they can't bear to look at the world.

"Although it is a barren mountain, there is probably a Bodhisattva temple. Maybe the thing I want to kill is in the Bodhisattva temple in this barren mountain. But I have inquired about it, and there is only one in the middle of this wilderness for about twenty miles. The ruined temple, so I'm going to see if it's the target I want to kill." Qin Yuelou said bluntly, and never evaded it.

The big stall looked at Qin Yuelou, then at the picture, with a slightly complicated expression.

This kid... is there something wrong with his brain?

However, Da Taitou will not reveal what he thinks in his heart.

"Since that's the case, then I wish you success soon, little brother." Said the boss.

Qin Yuelou nodded slightly, and walked into the rain curtain.

The coir raincoat on his body was also wet in an instant, and he walked into the rain with the sword in his arms.

The big stall looked at Qin Yuelou's back, and took another sip of tea: "Killing a Bodhisattva? This is more terrifying than killing someone."

The rainwaterfall turned the forest and mud into patches of mud, and Qin Yuelou didn't show any pretense, just walking forward in the mud with deep feet and shallow feet.

Then, I finally arrived at the Bodhisattva Temple. This Bodhisattva Temple is also a dilapidated place. Most of the wooden boards that can be dismantled and those that can catch fire have been demolished. The holes are still leaking, but it is still a place to rest.

Stepping into the temple gate, Qin Yuelou compared the stone bodhisattva statue with the eight-armed bodhisattva picture on the little yellow book.

"Missing six arms, it doesn't seem to be my goal." Qin Yuelou put away the little yellow book.

He didn't intend to leave for a while, so he removed some wooden boards.

Flame is the greatest element of human society. It is because of flame that the foundation of modern human existence is laid.

Suiren’s method of making fire by drilling wood, or the subsequent method of making fire by drilling with a bow, or making fire with a magnesium rod are all the crystallization of human wisdom.

Qin Yuelou took some hay left by the previous people, and casually tore down a few planks, as well as the wooden sticks left by the previous people.

Drilling wood with sticks and igniting dry grass at high temperature is like drilling wood to make fire.

"Clap."

Qin Yuelou took a lighter, lit the hay, and built a fire on the spot.

He was going to rest for a while before leaving.

But obviously, he is not the only one in this wilderness.

The uncle dressed as Orion hurried into the ruined temple and twisted up his clothes. Uncle Orion glanced at Qin Yuelou, then leaned over familiarly.

"Brother, can I borrow a fire?" the uncle asked Qin Yuelou.

"Please." Qin Yuelou did not refuse, opened the gourd stopper, and took another sip of wine.

"This rain is really heavy." Orion said, leaning on his cold hand.

"Yeah, it's really difficult for you to go hunting in such a heavy rain." Qin Yuelou answered.

"No way, for the sake of livelihood, but with such a heavy rain, although we can't hunt any wild animals, I guess we can catch some snakes or something to make snake soup. Let me tell you, brother, that snake soup is delicious. "

"There are parasites in snakes in the wild. If you eat them without cooking, there may be parasites such as whipworm, snake tapeworm or snake roundworm, which will in turn parasite on your body, so I suggest that you don't eat wild game."

Orion can't be cured by Qin Yuelou's words.

"Is it really that scary?" Orion asked Qin Yuelou.

"Yes, there are these things in the water source. If you don't boil it, it will have a bad effect on your body." Qin Yuelou continued.

"Uh...brother is a doctor?" Orion asked Qin Yuelou.

"I have a friend, he is." Qin Yuelou said, "But I just don't know if there will be snakes in the place he goes."

Orion listened, and chatted with Qin Yuelou, and not long after, a young man with a book basket broke in from outside the door. The young man was dressed as a literati, and he seemed to be rushing for an exam.

The scholar glanced at the other two in the temple, a little wanting to get closer, but he didn't dare to get close, he was thin-skinned and not as familiar as Orion.

"Let's warm up to the fire, scholar." Qin Yuelou said.

"Thank you, thank you, young man." The scholar thanked, then hurried to the fire, first took out the wet book from the basket, it seemed that he wanted to dry it.

Looking at his expression, I feel very distressed.

"Are you going to Beijing for the exam? Scholar?" Orion asked the scholar.
