who is mentally retarded

The two went downstairs and found a place to sit down in the lobby. It was just after noon and there were not many people in the hall. Qing Shuqu called Xiao Er to ask for the menu, and then said to Fengxuan via voice transmission: "Choose The more expensive, the better."

Feng Xuan was a little puzzled, but according to what Qing Shuqu said, he took the menu and ordered a few expensive dishes.

Xiao Er wrote down the dishes they ordered, happily ran to the kitchen to order, and came back after a while and said to the two of them attentively: "You two elders, wait for a while, the dishes will be served in a while."

Qing Shuqu nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Xiao Er rolled his eyes and asked, "Are the two elders also here because of the strange things that happened in our town?"

"Well," Qing Shuqu's lips curled up, and he tilted his head to look at Xiaoer, "What does this little brother know?"

"Well..." Xiao Er scratched his head, with a troubled look on his face, "This matter is a bit complicated, I don't know where to start..."

"Give us a pot of Chunqian Longjing." Qing Shuqu put a gold ingot on the table, "The extra money will be used as the second brother's errand expenses."

"Oh, don't you think that the villain is naughty!" Xiaoer's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put the ingot of gold into his sleeve, smiling until his eyes narrowed.

Qing Shuqu unfolded the bamboo bone fan, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Feng Xuan who hadn't reacted yet, then turned to Xiaoer and said, "Of course I don't mind."

Xiaoer smiled and opened his mouth:

"This matter started 300 years ago. At that time, our barren town was not like this, and there were other towns around it. It was just because of the chaos caused by those ghost cultivators that the people in the surrounding towns gradually moved away. After that, The environment began to deteriorate again, and in the end we were the only ones left here, and at that time, some strange things began to happen in the town."

"For example, when walking on the road in the middle of the night, you may encounter ghosts hitting the wall, or some people suddenly behave strangely, such as bumping their heads against the wall and shouting indiscriminately, but they return to normal after a while, but they don't remember what they did. It's just that someone got seriously ill and turned into a mummy after dying..."

"Well, the people in our town are more nostalgic than others, and they refuse to leave no matter what. Life and death are all on this land, so even if the environment gets worse, even if these things happen, no one will move out."

"Perhaps it was God's pity. Not long after the strange incident happened, a fairy head came to our town. The fairy head helped us build a high wall around the outside for a while to block the wind and sand, and after the high wall was built, , even the strange things are gone, everyone is very grateful to that fairy elder."

"But since two years ago, strange things have started to happen in our town again——two immortal elders, I secretly told you this because I saw your good looks, you two, please don't spread the word."

"Everyone in our town knows that in the past two years, five families have suffered crimes due to strange things. The Chen family and the Liu family in the cloth business in the north of the town, the master Li and his steward's family in the west of the town, and The rice noodle seller’s house is only 500 meters to the east. They first saw a dead person wandering outside the house, and then the family members became seriously ill. Turned into a mummy, exactly the same as 300 years ago..."

Xiao Er's mouth felt a little dry when he said this, Qing Shuqu pushed the pot of Longjing tea in front of Xiao Er, Xiao Er was not polite, poured a big cup and drank it, and then continued: "This matter started from Li It was rumored from the master's house, so many people thought it was their family that happened first, and the fairy elders who came to this town thought so too, so they always went to their house to ask, but there were too many people who went, it was a strange thing It didn't work out, and these families got annoyed. First, they asked the servants to go to the town to warn the residents not to disclose the news to outsiders. Afterwards, if a fairy came to the door, they would chase them away immediately, so the two of them didn't have to go. These five families, so as not to be angry."

"As I said just now, everyone thought it was Mr. Li's family that happened first, but in fact it was not. It was a few small households that had the accident first. I only found out after listening to some guest officials in this inn. The few families are relatively poor, they speak lightly, and no one will believe what they say, and they can’t afford a doctor, so even if the family members die and become mummies, no one will testify.”

"The two immortal elders can visit these houses. I remember Si Niang's house in the north of the town, and the west of the town... Zhou Shusheng's house in the westernmost part of the town."

Xiao Er paused for a while when he said this, it sounded like he was just adding something, but Qing Shuqu and Feng Xuan could still see that his face was stiff for a moment, Xiao Er felt that he was hiding it well, he said After finishing this, he said he was going to urge the cook and ran away.

Xiao Er seemed to have really gone to the kitchen to urge the cook, and Feng Xuan's order was served in a short while.

Neither of them moved their chopsticks, because monks above the foundation stage have already fasted the grain, so they don't need to eat food to satisfy their hunger. Even if they want to eat, they are some spiritual grains and spiritual vegetables. For cultivators, it is a bit troublesome, and it takes time to remove impurities from the meridians after each consumption, so it is better not to eat it.

"Go, go, don't come here!" At this moment, the movement at the door of the inn caught the attention of Qing Shuqu and Feng Xuan.

There was an old beggar standing at the door. He was dressed in ragged clothes, his jacket was full of patches, his trousers were one length and one short, and he had only one shoe on his feet. His hair and beard were messy. The old beggar was bent over and trembling. Holding a broken bowl in trembling hands, he reached out to Xiaoer: "Good-hearted man, can I have some food?"

Little Er didn't want to, he waved the old beggar away again and again, telling him not to stand at the door and block the business of the inn.

Feng Xuan frowned slightly, he turned to Qing Shuqu and asked: "Master, we don't eat this food anyway, how about..."

Qing Shuqu understood Feng Xuan's meaning, he nodded: "Go and ask the old man to come over."

"Yes!" Feng Xuan smiled, got up and walked over immediately.

Feng Xuan grabbed Xiao Er, who was about to drive him away, and explained his purpose of coming. Xiao Er was a little embarrassed at first, but after Feng Xuan gave him a piece of silver, he shut up and walked away. The beggar said a few words and brought the other party to their table.

The old beggar thanked the master and the apprentice so much, his eyes were red, Qing Shuqu just said "nothing", and let the old beggar fill his stomach first.

The old beggar seemed to have not had a full meal for a long time, and the few guests around frowned as he ate voraciously, but Qingshu Qu, who was at the same table with him, did not change at all. Feng Xuan even poured a cup of tea for the old beggar , Tell the other party to eat slowly, don't choke.

Seeing this, Qing Shuqu joked with a smile: "Young Master Xuan is really kind and considerate, no wonder so many nuns miss you so much."

"Master, please stop teasing me," Feng Xuan's face flushed, and then he changed the subject, "If you want to make the nuns never forget, it must be you and Uncle Gong."

"Oh ~ Ah Xuan is jealous?" Qing Shuqu moved forward excitedly, and raised Feng Xuan's chin with the handle of his fan, squinting his eyes and smiling seductively, "Or...jealous?"

"Master...Master!!!" Feng Xuan saw Qing Shuqu's actions and immediately blew his hair.

The old beggar who was eating happily stopped to look at the two of them, then turned around silently holding a plate of food: [flashing eyes...]

Having teased Feng Xuan after a long absence, Qing Shuqu felt refreshed, and the smile on his face became brighter, making Feng Xuan's heart beat faster and his face blush.

Seeing Fengxuan's face flushed, Qing Shuqu immediately stopped smiling, and hurriedly asked, "Axuan, are you angry? Oh, I was wrong, I won't tease you anymore..."

Feng Xuan didn't have the nerve to say that he blushed because he kept looking at Qing Shuqu, so he kept silent.

Seeing this, Qing Shuqu stretched out his hand and squeezed Fengxuan's face: "Ah Xuan, don't be angry, just smile, Ah Xuan looks good when he smiles."

The cold temperature caused the heat on Feng Xuan's face to gradually subside, Feng Xuan was about to say something but was taken aback suddenly, he grabbed Qing Shuqu's hand and asked, "Master, why are your hands so cold?"

Qing Shuqu was startled, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't.

Feng Xuan stared at Qing Shuqu fixedly, as if he wanted to hear the answer, but Qing Shuqu's mind went blank from this gaze, and he couldn't find a good reason to explain it for a while.

At this time, the old beggar had already filled his stomach, and he knelt down in front of Feng Xuan with a plop: "Thank you for saving my life, young master. I don't even know how to thank you two."

The old beggar just released Qing Shuqu's siege, Qing Shuqu took advantage of Fengxuan's stunned time to pull out his hand, and then turned to help the old beggar: "You don't have to do this, you kneel like this, ah Xuan will lose his life."

The old beggar immediately got up following the strength of Qing Shuqu, wiped the corners of his eyes that were red, and said: "I haven't had enough food for several days, if I didn't meet you two today, I'm afraid He's going to starve to death by the side of the road."

Feng Xuan, who had already regained his senses, also stood up, and said with a slight smile, "It's just a little effort, the old man doesn't have to worry about it."

The old beggar was very moved when he heard these words: "Young master is really a kind person, he doesn't look like... alas, you are a sinner." Saying this, the old beggar walked away slowly with his crutches.

Feng Xuan was a little puzzled, and just watched the old beggar leave blankly. When he reacted and wanted to chase someone, the old beggar had already disappeared.

And Qing Shuqu noticed that when the old beggar said this, the innkeeper, Xiao Er, and a few residents in the town all changed their expressions. Qing Shuqu and Feng Xuan looked at each other, and then Nodding to each other, it seems that there are still strange things happening in this town.

The two paid the bill and left the inn.

Feng Xuan's brows were tightly furrowed: "Master, in addition to the family that Xiaoer mentioned, do we still have to visit the other five households?"

After thinking for a while, Qing Shuqu replied: "Go to Zhenxi, and visit that old master Li's house to see what their attitude is."

"it is good."

After saying that, the master and apprentice walked towards Zhenxi, when they arrived at Li's mansion, Feng Xuan stepped forward and knocked on the door, and sure enough, the other party opened the door and scolded his head and face, Feng Xuan didn't say much and went back directly.

"How is it?" Qing Shuqu asked.

"As Xiao Er said, they don't welcome monks very much," Feng Xuan replied, "other than that, there is nothing unusual."

"That's it," Qing Shuqu lowered his eyes, "Then go to that Zhou Shusheng's house first. As for the five houses, let's talk about it if we have time in the evening."

Feng Xuan immediately understood the meaning of Qing Shuqu. If there was something strange about these families, they could hide their bodies at night and go to investigate, maybe they could find something.

There is a section of the road to the west of the town that is extremely desolate. There are abandoned houses and mansions on both sides of the road. It looks a bit gloomy. Qing Shuqu stopped walking involuntarily.

"Master, what's the matter?" Seeing the other party stop, Feng Xuan asked, "But what's the matter here?"

"No," Qing Shuqu smiled, "It's just that our feet are too fast, and if this continues, the little guy behind won't be able to keep up."

It's clear every time.

Since the two of them left the Li Mansion, someone has been following them secretly. That person did not show any malice, so Qing Shuqu and Feng Xuan did not expose each other, but now that Qing Shuqu stopped here, presumably to make The man came out.

The author has something to say:
