Chapter 75 Monster
There are not many people living in the town, and basically some hunters who go back and forth are fighting for the best place to rest here.
There is a teahouse in the town, which is very simple, but it is full of people. Herbal tea costs two cents a bowl is very popular with everyone. A row of large iron kettles behind the teahouse are steaming, while Dr. Tea is so busy that he is not touching the ground, pouring water and collecting money for people.
Yue Lin and the other two were waiting outside the tea shop for a while before a table of guests paid the bill and left.
Old Zhang immediately led everyone in, and after sitting down, rubbed his hands with a little embarrassedly and said, "Young master and you guys, don't be surprised. This tea shop is already the best place to rest in the town."
Yue Lin said it was okay, just took a sip of water and took a break before leaving, then listened to the sensational movements in the tea shop.
A middle-aged man in a ragged gown obviously dominated the tea shop's voice. It seemed that he was also quite enjoying the treatment of the stars. He sat cross-legged on a wide wooden stool with excitement on his face. He occasionally picked up a few peanut seeds and put them into his mouth to chew, while talking about something.
Yue Lin just listened to a few words and tasted a little.
What the middle-aged people say is that there are more and more fierce beasts hurting people and ghosts appearing in the mountains and forests.
Old Zhang seemed to be very familiar with the middle-aged man. When he saw that Yue Lin was interested in what he said, he squeezed over and said something to him.
The middle-aged man looked at it and suddenly saw that Yue Lin and the others were dressed in extraordinary clothes.
He immediately did not enjoy the flattery of everyone, so he quickly ran over a few steps, bowed and smiled, "The villain is a vendor collecting all kinds of wild animals in the town. Just call me Liu Quan."
Yue Lin nodded, threw a small ingot of silver over, and asked inadvertently, "What's going on in the mountains that hurt people?"
Liu Quan took the silver ingot and his face flashed with joy.
This small ingot of silver was as much as two taels, which was worth more than half a month.
Old Zhang kneaded his forehead and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, don't talk nonsense in front of several adults. If you want to say that the beasts in the mountains are causing frequent injuries, how could I not know?"
"Old Zhang, even if I have lent me a hundred courage, I will not dare to lie in front of the young master, right?"
"Besides, Lao Zhang, how long has it been since you accidentally fell and injured when you entered the mountain last time? It's been more than three months. What happened in such a long time is impossible?"
Huang Qihai waved his hand and said, "Okay, please hurry up and talk."
Liu Quan chuckled and put the silver in his arms, wiped his mouth and said, "The guests don't know anything. The first abnormality occurred two months ago. The Hu brothers in the town went into the mountain to search for traces of a white fox, but they never came out."
"At the beginning, no one took it seriously, because hunters who make a living by hunting? At least one or two times you will be unlucky to meet a beast if you go to the mountain ten times. It is possible that the Hu brothers were eaten by tigers and bears."
"After waiting for a few days, a dozen other hunters thought about finding the remains of the Hu brothers together, and then found the beast that had eaten human flesh to death, so as not to taste the sweetness of the beast going down the mountain to find someone to eat."
Speaking of this, Liu Quan seemed to recall something horrible, and his expression on his face became a little distorted.
"To be honest with the young master, the villain is one of the last time he entered the mountain."
Yue Lin did not stop him from taking the gold ingot, but suddenly turned his head and looked outside.
Huang Qihai looked at it immediately, but the road outside the door was empty. Where was there a figure?
Yue Lin withdrew his gaze and signaled that Liu Quan could take away the gold ingots on the table directly, "Aren't you engaged in the collection business? Why did you go into the mountain?"
"The villain rarely goes into the mountains on weekdays, and only collects goods and sells them in this town. However, the last time there were many people entering the mountains, I followed them in. The main reason was to use their strength to find a few wild ginseng plants that were more than a hundred years old, and turn around to honor the nobles above."
"That's right, that's fine. As long as you recognize the way you entered the mountain last time, then these gold will be yours."
"The villain understands" Liu Quan bowed and bowed. "However, the deep forest is indeed extremely dangerous. Are the nobles sure they are going?"
Wang Beichen snorted lightly and said, "We came here specifically for this matter. Do you think you want to go?"
"Hmph, don't be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue. There is a sign of great danger coming in this mountain. How could you ordinary people be involved in it?"
