Lu Changsheng searched the bodies of several uninvited guests, and then looked at the other party's palms and tiger's mouth, which had very thick calluses. It was obviously caused by the years of holding weapons and practicing martial arts. It was not a simple first-class gangster.

Apart from that, there was nothing on the people who could tell their identities, only a few short blades and a piece of clothing, so their money was pitiful.

In this way, it is unlikely that the other party will follow and follow. It should be what the locals do.

"Young Master, I'm too hard to do it, and I didn't expect to leave a living." Xu Lixia said with some remorse.

After hearing this, Lu Changsheng said casually: "It's not your business. These people are not ordinary people. They are either bandits or are staffed by wealthy families. Even if they are alive, they are not so easy to find out the news."

Lu Changsheng knew that Xu Lixia was more serious because she cared about herself. She would blame her. She just kept comforting her softly.

Moreover, what he said was not all comforting words, the other party came too quickly.

Coupled with the weirdness of Yushi Town, he felt that he had come to a troublesome place...

This made Lu Changsheng's brow frown.

There was a moment of effort that made Lu Changsheng unable to help but want to take action. After all, whoever was suddenly attacked was full of anger.

But after he calmed down, he gave up this idea. First, he was not sure that this must be the local snake in Yushi Town. Second, he was traveling now and there was no help from the Lu family and Long, so he had to restrain some behaviors.

If you really feel unhappy, you can take revenge again in the future, but now is not a good time to have an attack.

"Young Master, what should we do now?" Xu Lixia said.

Lu Changsheng threw three corpses into the underworld and said in a deep voice: "Just think that nothing happened, leave Yushi Town tomorrow."

"Yes, young master."

...

Dong Rong fell asleep early that night, but he woke up at five o'clock.

After all, people are old and have little sleep.

By the time Dong Rong arrived at the lobby, the housekeeper was waiting there as before.

Dong Rong has always been very satisfied with this.

However, today, the butler's expression seemed a little bad. He looked at Dong Rong's expression and walked forward carefully and said, "Master, Wang Hu and the others have failed and have not come back yet."

Dong Rong was stunned at first, and seemed to have not understood what was happening.

But soon, his expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Would Wang Hu and his friends have any movement after entering the inn?"

"There is no movement." The housekeeper said tremblingly.

Dong Rong's eyes sank when he heard this, and his expression calmed down: "I didn't expect it to be the Dragon of Jiang. Well, as long as they don't come to provoke us, we should not continue to take action. It's better to let them leave early."

When the butler heard this, his body trembled even more and reminded in a low voice: "Master, tomorrow is the third day of the Prayer Festival. The gates in the town must be closed tightly. Only on the seventh day can they be opened..."

Dong Rong: “…”

...

The next morning, Lu Changsheng and Xu Lixia were about to leave after breakfast.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but they feel that today is even more desolate than yesterday evening, and there is no one everywhere.

When the shopkeeper heard that Lu Changsheng was about to leave, he rushed over to apologize and said, "Are the two guests ready to leave?"

"Not bad."

Xu Lixia looked at the shopkeeper, with a little more scrutiny in her eyes: "Since it's dawn, we are naturally leaving. What's wrong, the shopkeeper, we don't seem to owe you money for the shop, right?"

"The girl is joking."

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and bowed and said, "The two guests may not know the customs of the town. They will close the town gate on the third day of the Prayer Festival. They will not open unless it is a big deal. They will not open until the seventh day. Today is the third day. I forgot to tell you about it before. Now, even if you want to leave, it is impossible..."

"Where is such a custom?" Xu Lixia raised her eyebrows, with a little questioning in her voice.

The inn shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "The two guests are really not a little fool. This custom has existed since the day Yushi Town was established. It is said to be to celebrate the establishment of Yushi Town. Several towns around this matter know how the little one dares to deceive the two."

Lu Changsheng looked at the shopkeeper and asked softly: "Shopkeeper, even if it is a festival, seven days are too long. Does everyone in the town agree?"

This is not later generations. Many families only have a day of work to have a day of chewing food. Seven days are enough to stop many families from cooking.

The shopkeeper is also a wise man. Hearing the meaning of Lu Changsheng's words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "This is thanks to the kindness of the Dong family. Whenever this time, the Dong family will distribute food to all the villagers in the town for seven days..."

As soon as these words were said, as long as Lu Changsheng was not a fool, he could know that there must be problems with the Dong family.

However, Lu Changsheng looked at the shopkeeper in front of him and always felt that the other party seemed to have some meaning...

Since they cannot leave, Lu Changsheng and Xu Lixia can only continue to stay in Yushi Town for the time being.

Xu Lixia still didn't believe it, but after she went out several times, she finally returned with depression.

In the following days, no one came to "harass" again, everything was very peaceful.

On the sixth night, in Lu Changsheng's room, Xu Lixia was reporting to Lu Changsheng's discoveries in the past few days.

"...There is no charity village here, and there seems to be no city imperial temple. Moreover, I found that the people here are extremely taboo to say dead people, and there is an indescribable weirdness." Xu Lixia said with a strange look on her face.

These days, she seems to want to leave, but in fact she is secretly inquiring about the situation in Yushi Town.

Fortunately, in addition to the people in the town, there are also one or two businessmen from other places. Xu Lixia has heard a lot of news from them.

The Prayer Festival in Yushi Town is true. Since its establishment, it has been a seven-day prayer festival every year. Moreover, it is true that the Dong family will distribute food on this festival. For this reason, the Dong family has a very good reputation.

However, the Dong family seems to be very low-key and does not interact with outsiders. Even some merchants who have been trading with Yushi Town for many years rarely see the Dong family...

Listening to Xu Lixia's words, Lu Changsheng walked to the window and looked at the deserted scene outside, and said slowly: "Do you know that I've looked out here these days, and the more I look at it, the more I feel the whole Yushi Town looks like?"

"What does it look like?" Xu Lixia asked.

The corners of Lu Changsheng's mouth curled slightly, and a cold smile appeared: "It's like a carefully selected ranch, and everyone in the town is raised livestock..."
