Monster Reserve Food became my husband

Chapter 42

Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing looked at each other, then pushed open the door and walked to the balcony tacitly.Standing on the balcony and looking down, I found a dark shadow standing in the shadow on the left side of the courtyard.

There was no moonlight tonight, and the surroundings were dark and quiet. In addition, there was a tall and dense tree behind the other party, so he couldn't see his figure clearly.

Zheng Qing showed the note to Xiao Zhuo, and then destroyed it.The note was obviously thrown in by the black shadow with a slingshot, and it should be sending a signal.

Xiao Zhuo was about to go downstairs to ask him for clarification, but as soon as he walked to the living room on the first floor, he heard the village chief's angry shout from outside: "Fu Dan! Why are you again? You don't sleep in the middle of the night, you come here What are you doing? Hurry up and go home..."

Before the village chief finished speaking, Fudan turned his head and ran away as if frightened.There were no street lights at night in the countryside, and his figure quickly disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing walked out of the gate, looking thoughtfully at Fudan running away.

The village chief said a few more words about Fu Dan, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Zhuo and the two of them, and he said embarrassedly: "Did I disturb you? Sorry, this kid has a problem with his head. He often destroys this house and that house. Come to you?"

"It's nothing, it's just a few stones." Xiao Zhuo then asked: "Who was that person just now?"

Speaking of Fudan, the village head first sighed: "We in the countryside like to have a humble name, so that we can make a living. Everyone usually calls him Fudan, but no one calls him his real name, so he can't remember it after a long time. This child Fudan is very pitiful. He has lost his parents since he was a child. Fortunately, the villagers are very kind to him and help him if he can. He has grown up eating a lot of food. But he has a problem with his head and doesn't talk to people. He often uses a slingshot to destroy things. We are all used to it. After all, it is a child who has grown up, so we can't drive him away for this."

The village chief shook his head after speaking, with a regretful and distressed expression.

Xiao Zhuo asked a few more words, and then he and Zheng Qing prepared to go upstairs and return to their room.

The village chief watched them go upstairs with a smile, and when the figures of Xiao Zhuo and the others disappeared in front of his eyes, his smile immediately subsided, and his eyes were full of coldness and strangeness.

After returning to the room, Zheng Qing said: "The village chief just came back from outside."

Xiao Zhuo nodded, this is what he wanted to talk about.Although the village chief said he had changed into a set of pajamas, he forgot to change the shoes on the soles of his feet because of the rush of time.Xiao Zhuo noticed that the soles of his shoes were still stained with fresh mud.

"But what is it that makes the village chief go out so late and not come back until midnight?"

Zheng Qing shook his head, this matter is still unknown.

"There is something wrong with the man named Fudan. He must know something. Tomorrow we will go into the crevice of the mountain to check, let Qingyu stay in the village, find a way to find Fudan, and ask about the situation."

Zheng Qing finished speaking: "It's very late. Go to bed first."

It was a calm night in Chenjia Village, the thing did not appear, and there was no news of the loss of livestock in the village.

After breakfast, the village head said that he was going to visit the orchard, and told Xiao Zhuo and others to call him at any time if there was anything that needed his cooperation.

The village chief's wife tidied up the house and said that she would go to the field to have a look, but there were only three Xiao Zhuo left in the house.

Soon they split into two groups, Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing went to check the crevice in the back mountain, while Qing Yu set out to inquire about Fudan from other villagers, trying to find him and ask about the situation.

Chenjia Village is located in the mountains, and the surrounding mountains are rolling up and down, and there is no end in sight.

The mountain where the narrow mountain crevice is located is also extremely tall. The mountain body is mostly rocks, sparsely distributed with weeds, or some tough trees are rooted in the rock crevice, standing tall.

Xiao Zhuo walked into the crevasse first.As soon as he walked in, a gust of cold air rushed towards him.The surrounding area is damp and dark, the rocks on both sides of the crevice are covered with moss, and many weeds grow on the ground.

The mountain crevice is in the shape of an inverted triangle as a whole, and it can accommodate two people entering sideways at the bottom, but only one finger can barely get in at the top.When looking up from below, a ray of light is projected through the gap, and the blue sky seen is like a line.

The two walked in for about ten minutes, and their vision suddenly became wider.In front of me is a mountain wall space of about ten square meters, and there are still faint paw prints around the wall, as if it was forcibly dug out by something.

There are several skeletons placed against the wall, and because they have been dead for a long time, only the bones are left.

And in front of these bones, there were three corpses kneeling down, their knees and foreheads touching the ground, looking extremely pious, but also a bit weird.

The three corpses were not severely decomposed, and they obviously died not long ago.It's just that I don't know why it appeared here, and why I had to kneel in front of these bones.

Zheng Qing looked at the clothes and appearance of the three corpses, and judged: "It should be from the village."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhuo nodded and said: "I just don't know why it appeared here. But someone disappeared in the village, and the village chief didn't say a word about it. There must be something strange inside."

Zheng Qing said: "What if these people are not missing?"

Xiao Zhuo had doubts in his eyes, and immediately picked up a branch and lifted up the clothes of a dead body.

After the clothes were lifted, both Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing couldn't hide their shock.I saw that the person's body was densely distributed with lumps.Those lumps have eyes, noses, and mouths, which are no different from human faces. They look weird and scary.

Xiao Zhuo then went to check the other two corpses, and found that they were covered with facial sores.Those things were densely packed, and there were almost no good pieces of meat left. Judging from the expressions of the corpses, they died in extreme pain and despair.

"How could this be?"

Zheng Qing said in a deep voice: "The village chief only said that there was a plague in Chenjia Village 15 years ago, but he didn't mention that it was human facial sores. There must be something else hidden in it. Human facial sores are brought by the heels, but the heels chase resentment , will only be attracted by resentment."

In other words, where the resentment is the heaviest, the heels will be attracted to appear there, and then bring plague to that place.

The heel looks like an owl, with one leg and a pig's tail.If you see it, the country will suffer a major epidemic.

"But didn't the village chief say that the plague has already been expelled by Qingling?"

"Then you have to ask the village chief." Zheng Qing's eyes darkened: "Heel's return to Chenjia Village brought another plague, which only shows that the resentment here is still very heavy, which attracts Heel to come here."

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing didn't stay any longer and continued to move forward.

The passage in front became narrow again, and in some places it was even impossible to pass sideways. Fortunately, Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing were not ordinary people.

The two quickly passed through the narrow area, and suddenly saw an extremely open space in front of them.

This place is still in the middle of the mountain, but almost half of the mountain has been hollowed out. It covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters and is about three or four stories high. It looks majestic and spectacular from a distance.

"It seems that we have arrived." Xiao Zhuo said.

Obviously, this place is the cave that the monster dug for himself.He enjoyed it quite a bit and didn't want to wrong himself at all.

As soon as Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he had already noticed that the ferocious beast they came in was attacking them swiftly.

The ferocious beast is huge and majestic, and it will arrive in the blink of an eye.Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing separated quickly, and each avoided the attack lightly.

The ferocious beast slapped hard on the place where the two were standing, and the mountain shook instantly, and countless gravels fell one after another, which shows the strength of its power.

After Xiao Zhuo dodged the attack, he looked at the beast seriously, but he didn't expect that he was an acquaintance. Although he had never met before, Xiao Zhuo knew his name like thunder.

"So it was you." Xiao Zhuo said clearly.

After he finished speaking, he went to look at Zheng Qing, his eyes were full of accusations and grievances, and he silently shouted in his heart: Look, it's not like you!In the future, can you figure it out before talking about it, and don't pin all bad things on J's head?Isn't he enough blame for all these years? !Isn't wronging a demon against the law?

If it wasn't for the fear of revealing his identity, Xiao Zhuo would have strongly demanded that the Bureau of Demon Management should compensate him for his mental damage.

Zheng Qing's attention was on the beast at this time, and he was slightly disappointed to find that it wasn't Ji.When he turned his head to look at Xiao Zhuo, the other party had already shifted his gaze, so he didn't notice Xiao Zhuo's full of grievances.

At the same time, outside the mountain crack.

Under the organization of the village chief, several villagers are secretly transporting stones up the mountain. The stones may be large or small, and the small stones need to be carried by two people, while the large ones need to be carted.

All the rocks were transported to the outside of the crevice, and then moved by other villagers to fill in the crevice.They have a clear division of labor, act quickly and neatly, and there is almost no communication during the whole process. They just concentrate on doing things, like marionettes.

All the rocks were filled into the cracks in the mountain, almost tightly blocking the already narrow passage.

The village head looked at this scene with hot and crazy eyes, and asked the villagers to bring more stones.No matter what, those two people must never be allowed to come out alive.

Inside the mountain belly, the dark beast scratched its head upon hearing this, and asked Xiao Zhuo, "Do you know me?"

The ferocious beast has a body like a sheep, but it has tiger claws and teeth, and a pair of curved black horns on its head, which looks very ferocious.But the beast's hair was not pure black, but black and white. It was only because it was dark at that time that the villagers couldn't see clearly, so they mistakenly thought that the beast was completely black.

"Of course I know." Xiao Zhuo said with a smile, "Gaotie."

Taotie, the son of the Jinyun clan.Gluttony eats everything in sight, and if the world is exhausted, it will eat itself.

Of course, what he said was a bit exaggerated, but it also well explained the gluttonous disposition of Taotie.

Taotie stared at Xiao Zhuo with a pair of eyes, and then said in confusion: "I can't see through your roots."

Then he turned his gaze to Zheng Qing, and found painfully that this Gen foot couldn't see through.This shows that they are either little demons, or their demon power is not weaker than him.

Xiao Zhuo knew that Zheng Qing was relatively well-known, and there were almost no monsters who didn't know him, so he introduced: "You should know this person, right? Zheng Qing, the director of the Special Operations Department of the Monster Control Bureau."

Taotie didn't quite understand, and asked in confusion, "The Demon Management Bureau? What is it? Can I eat it?"

For Taotie, the most important criterion for judging a thing is whether it can be eaten.

Xiao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he was also ignorant back then, no different from Taotie: "Do you have an ID card?"

"What's an ID card?"

When Xiao Zhuo heard this, he understood: "It turned out to be a criminal. Let someone explain this matter to you after we get out."

After he finished speaking, he began to stretch his muscles and bones, and asked Taotie: "Are you still fighting? If you want to fight now, we still have something to ask you after the fight."

Xiao Zhuo said it lightly, as if he just got into a fight by the way, and didn't take it to heart at all.

Taotie looked at Xiao Zhuo, then at Zheng Qing, and instantly had a very strong intuition, reminding him that it is best not to do anything, the two monsters in front of him are by no means good.

So he immediately turned into a human form, and asked Xiao Zhuo: "What do you want to ask me? Let me tell you first, I have been sleeping since I came here, and I just woke up a while ago, so I may not know what you are asking."

After Taotie transformed into a human form, he was tall and tall, with straight features and short hair. He looked fierce and not easy to mess with.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing looked at each other, and both found a problem.

The village chief once said that Qingling entered the mountain crevasse 15 years ago to solve hidden dangers for Chenjiacun, but Taotie said that he had been sleeping for the past few years. It is obvious that one of the two is lying.

Zheng Qing asked, "When did you enter this cave?"

"Who remembers this?" Taotie recalled: "I was so hungry at that time, I couldn't get enough to eat, so I wanted to find a place to sleep. The cave. It must be more than 200 years old, right?"

"You haven't been out all this time?"

"Not before, I have been sleeping, but I woke up a while ago. I went out to eat a few cows and sheep..." Taotie said, and asked in a bad tone: "Is this why you came here?"

"There is a part of the reason. Those cows and sheep are raised by humans. After you stole them, they went to report the crime."

"What is stealing? I'm taking it openly." Taotie's mouth was stiff, and then he sneered and said: "Human beings are really stingy nowadays. If they eat a few cows and sheep from them, they have to report to the officials. In the past, how much I wanted to eat As much as I eat, they have to be grateful to me after eating."

Xiao Zhuo said: "Today is different from the past."

If it was in the past, he wouldn't need to work hard by himself, most of them were little demons who were willing to enshrine him.But now, all the monsters are lazy, and none of them have the consciousness of worship.This also makes Xiao Zhuo feel very disappointed with the current little demon.

Zheng Qing glanced at Xiao Zhuo, who was aroused by Taotie's words, and changed the topic back: "Then, have you seen Qing Geng?"

"Qinggenniao?" Taotie said, "I haven't seen it before. If a monster breaks in, I will always notice it. For so many years, you are the first monster to break in."

This is actually quite normal, Taotie is an ancient ferocious beast, its demonic aura is terrifying, many small demons are like Qing Geng, if they smell the aura of a big demon from a distance, they will hide away and dare not approach at all.

After listening to Taotie's words, Xiao Zhuo suddenly had an intuition that the village chief must have concealed a very terrible thing, and this thing is most likely related to Qing Geng.

He thought about looking at Zheng Qing, and found from the other party's eyes that Zheng Qing had the same thoughts as him.

"Qingyu may be in danger." Zheng Qing said in a deep voice.

Many little monsters such as Qing Geng are not good at attacking. If humans join hands, they will not be their opponents.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing were ready to leave here immediately.Seeing this, Taotie found it interesting and followed.He slept in this cave for so long, and it was quite boring, so why not find something interesting to do.

The three monsters returned along the original road, at an extremely fast speed, and soon arrived at the entrance.

It was also at this time that they discovered that the entrance was blocked by many stones, which were tightly blocked without leaving any gaps, obviously to kill Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing.

"They really don't have good intentions." While Xiao Zhuo was speaking, he reached out and touched the stone in front of him, and the stone was immediately shattered into powder.

In this way, the three demons opened up a passage unimpeded all the way, and stepped on the powdered stone to the outside.

Xiao Zhuo walked in the front, thinking that there would be villagers guarding outside, but when he appeared, he saw that the outside was empty, only a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old.

The man bent down and was struggling to lift a stone, when he looked up and saw Xiao Zhuo and others walking out of the crevice, he froze in place.

Xiao Zhuo looked at the man, and felt familiar with his outline, as if he had seen it somewhere before, so he asked, "You are the one who threw the note that night and asked us to leave quickly?"

The young man's skin was very white, without any blood, and his face was covered with dust and sweat.The body is also very thin, there is no meat, and it looks a little malnourished.As the village chief said, he does not seem to like to talk, always avoiding Xiao Zhuo's gaze, keeping his head down in a reserved and silent manner.

Hearing Xiao Zhuo's question, the young man just nodded slightly after a while.

Xiao Zhuo noticed the stones that the young man was carrying and the stones piled up next to him. It was obvious that the young man had been moving the stones alone for an untold amount of time in order to save them, so that his face was covered with dust and sweat, and even his hands were rubbed off by the stones. There was blood.

"Thank you, let's put down the stone first." Xiao Zhuo spoke softly, even though the villagers wanted them to die, there were always people desperately trying to save them.

He asked softly, "Have you seen Qingyu?"

Xiao Zhuo originally wanted to call the other party's name, but when he thought of the word Fu Dan, he still couldn't say it out.

The young man put down the stone, still staring at the cleared passage with wide eyes, as if he hadn't figured out how they came out by himself.Then he shook his head again, indicating that he had never seen Qingyu.

Xiao Zhuo doesn't know if the young man can speak, but the most urgent thing is to find Qing Yu first.He had a hunch that after those villagers dealt with them, they would definitely trouble Qingyu next.

The heels of the knees bring down disasters, and the green farming prevents epidemics.

The plague came back again, and those villagers suffered a lot from it. Knowing that Qinggeng can relieve the plague, they will definitely take action.

Xiao Zhuo guessed right, Qingyu's current situation is indeed not very good.

He was knocked unconscious by a sneak attack from behind by the villagers when he was asking about the situation of Fudan.

When he woke up, he was tied up by the villagers.Those people tied his hands and feet, covered his head, and were discussing something outside all the time, their tone excited, crazy and nervous.

After they discussed it for a quiet meeting, several people walked into the room and lifted Qing Yu up.

Qingyu didn't know why they wanted to arrest him, and kept trying to communicate with them, but the villagers remained silent and ignored him.

In the end, Qing Yu was carried to someone's house, and the black cloth covering his head was removed.

After the black cloth was taken off, Qing Yu saw that he was in a dilapidated and dark house.The room is very narrow, like a pile of sundries, only a small window is opened next to it.

Because her hands and feet were tied, what Qing Yu could see was limited.Then he turned his head and saw an old man lying on the wooden board next to him.

The old man was skinny, with skin wrapped around bones, and his whole body was tightly wrapped, with no skin exposed.He stared at Qing Yu with his eyes wide open, his eyes were full of longing and madness, making Qing Yu feel like a prey being stared at.

Both Qingyu and the old man were placed on the ground, surrounded by crowded villagers.These people looked down at them, their eyes were malicious and full of longing and hope, and they kept talking about something.

"Is this really useful?"

"It will definitely work. Fifteen years ago, the plague in Chenjia Village was cured in this way."

"He is the brother of the monster. Since the blood vessels of the monster are used, his blood must also be used."

"Does this count as murder? I'm a little scared."

"You're going to lose your life, so what are you afraid of? If you don't do anything, you will be the one who will die. Besides, he is not human at all, so he is not a murderer."

"..."

After a few words, everyone quickly agreed to decide to do it.

When Qingyu heard this, how could he not know what was going on? His eyes turned red immediately, and he struggled desperately to ask: "What do you mean by that? What do you mean my sister's blood will work? What did you do to her?" ? Where is my sister now?"

He was speaking to the village chief, and under the violent struggle, the rope was almost snapped.

The village chief was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted in fear: "Quick, tie his hands and feet with wire, and don't let him break free."

Soon some villagers brought iron wire and wrapped it around Qingyu's hands and feet several times.Qingyu was still struggling desperately, the wire was strangled into the flesh, bleeding out from the strangulation.

But he was still indifferent, only with red eyes, asking where his sister was over and over again.

The village chief stood in front of the villagers, looked down at him indifferently, and said mockingly: "Your sister? Of course she is gone. She kept saying that she would drive away the plague for us, but she used some herbs to perfuse us all day long. Someone accidentally saw her bloodletting to save patients. We didn't know that her blood can save people. She claims to be kind and only wants to save people. Why not give up her life and use her to save the lives of the whole village? "

"No...she's not even human. We drained her blood only to find out she's a monster, just like you. Don't you really want to find your sister? We'll be sending you to her soon enough."

Qingyu's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth tightly, his whole body was filled with anger and grief to the extreme, but those wires tightly bound his hands, making it impossible for him to break free.

He never expected that his sister would come here with the heart of saving people, but in the end she would die at the hands of the person he wanted to save.At that time, she watched her blood being drained, how desperate should she feel?

Thinking of this, Qingyu felt overwhelmed with pain.The younger sister has always been favored in their clan, and no one dares to bully her, but she was harmed so badly by these people.

They are damned!

The village chief ignored Qing Yu, and urged the villagers to try it with blood first.

He thought that the plague broke out in the village, and they had no choice but to wait for death, but at the critical moment, Qingyu would take the initiative to send them to the door.

On the night when he learned of this, the village chief immediately called a meeting of the villagers to discuss how to catch the monster.This is called the road of inexhaustible heaven, and it is predestined.

The villagers squatted down with a knife, cut open Qingyu's wrist, and put a bowl under it.

Blood flowed from his wrist in an instant, and dripped into the bowl again.The surrounding villagers looked at the bright red blood in the bowl, their eyes were full of strong desire.

After the bowl was filled with blood, the villagers bandaged Qingyu's wound so that he wouldn't have to drink when the blood ran out.

Then someone rolled up the sleeves and trousers of the old man next to him.

Qing Yu turned her head, only to find that the old man's arms and legs were covered with dense facial sores.Those facial sores are making all kinds of expressions, just like human faces, it looks very creepy.

The villagers helped the old man up, and then some villagers brought the bowl containing blood to the old man's mouth.

When the old man smelled the smell, he immediately approached and drank the blood hungrily.

After drinking the blood, all the villagers focused their attention on the old man, and the room could hear the sound of needles being dropped.

After about a few minutes, the sores on the old man's face suddenly showed a panicked expression, and then they gradually disappeared.Seeing this, the villagers carefully examined the old man's body and found that he had recovered miraculously.

"It's useful, it's really useful!" Immediately, some villagers cheered, scrambling to say: "Quick, let me drink a bowl first! My hands are itchy recently, and I must have grown that ghost thing too."

"Wait, let me drink first!"

"..."

Qingyu ignored the wild beast-like villagers around her, suddenly felt something, and turned her head to look outside the room.

The village head was always watching him, and he could guess what he was thinking by watching his movements, and immediately said with confidence: "Waiting for your two friends? I deliberately asked them to accompany you on the road."

The author has something to say:.
