"Okay, let's settle on these two people. Time is very tight. Let's split up. I'll deal with the mysterious evil gum in Suitang Town. You can go to Lantau County." At this point, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment.
"Lantau County seems to be outside the area under the jurisdiction of Chunshen Station." The area under the jurisdiction of Chunshen Station is not limited to Chunshen City, but corresponds to a vast area sandwiched by the Songmin River and Shanshui River systems.
Lantau County is located north of Shanshui River, more than two hundred miles away from Chunshen. Qin Bing explained,
"This kind of accumulation is like a recruitment poster. It will be distributed to Chaofan stations everywhere, and anyone can pick it up. Now that you have divided it up, let's do it like this. I will take the train overnight to Lantau County. You need to be careful."
After saying that, Qin Bing called Zhang Chang and took away all the information related to the Flying Corpse Eucalyptus.
Xu Shu then wanted to take away the relevant information about Suitang Town's mysterious witches and a set of imperial seal tokens, which he put in a large cowhide bag, ready to go back and study them in detail.
The two of them left Chunshen Station, where a three-wheeler had been arranged to wait for them. Xu Shu drove Qin Bing directly to Chunshen Station in a three-wheeler. Qin Bing picked up the blue suitcase without looking back.
Return to the ground and meet the crowd.
The night wind was cold, Xu Shu lit a cigarette and stopped to smoke. Suddenly, he turned around Qin Bing, who was joining the crowd. Seeing that he was stopped where he was, he quickly turned around and merged into the crowd elegantly.
When Xu Shu got home, it was already around three o'clock in the morning. He opened the suitcase Qin Bing gave him, and it was indeed filled with cigarettes.
"This is Teacher Qin's hatred for me." Xu Shu complained helplessly. He slowly picked out a cigarette box with a painting of a beautiful woman, lit a cigarette, lit it and took a puff. The rich tobacco aroma quickly drove away his fatigue.
He took out his file bag and began to read the mysterious fairy tale carefully. Fifteen minutes later, he finished reading the book, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
The story is simple, but the reason is speechless. Suitang Town is located 80 miles west of Chunshen City, only more than 20 miles away from Snake Mountain on the outskirts of the city. Minshui, a tributary of the Songmin River, bypasses Suitang Town.
While bringing water conservancy, it also helped Suitang Town become a wharf town. In the early days, gangs from various places were competing for territory and caused many deaths, which developed a tough local folk custom.
No matter what the folk customs are, with water conservancy and docks, the economy of the town is always good. But I don’t know when the folk customs of the town began to become gentle. There was no stealing, no killing, and it was gentle.
There was even a gang in Chunshen that drove its branch there, ready to show off its power, but the gang members lost the motivation to fight and kill soon after they arrived there.
At the beginning, the folk customs in the town suddenly improved, and the local magistrate even boasted about his educational achievements in the newspaper.
But as time went by, local officials discovered that something was wrong. Not only did the town residents stop fighting and making trouble, their enthusiasm for production was also rapidly reduced.
According to Xu Shu's understanding, it was just a matter of not being involved in the business, as long as he could earn enough to eat and drink. As a result, the town's economic indicators dropped rapidly.
Although officials were not promoted or demoted in the Great Zhou Dynasty based on economics, Suitang Town was the largest financial and taxation center in Hong'an County.
The residents of the town stopped sailing, and the merchants who came to the town stopped sailing. Gradually, the ships passing by were no longer willing to dock in Suitang Town, and the county's finances and taxes suffered an unprecedented blow.
The magistrate of Hong'an County couldn't hold it any longer and began to investigate. This investigation really turned out to be a problem. The emotions and temperament of the residents of the town seemed to be affected by an invisible existence.
The Hong'an County Magistrate reported this as an extraordinary incident, and extraordinary personnel were quickly dispatched to investigate.
Unfortunately, after searching again and again, there was no result. There were no injuries or deaths, it was peaceful, and even the crux of the problem could not be found out.
The matter was left undisturbed until three Hong'an County magistrates in the past seven years requested to be transferred. This caused shock to Chunshen's senior officials and asked Chunshen Station to conduct a careful investigation.
The Chunshen station plan cost a lot of money and took several years. Finally, I encountered the monster, but I only saw its back, and the monster fled and disappeared.
Since then, there has been no whereabouts of the monster. This eucalyptus has been shelved and has become a worry for the Hong'an County Government and even the Chunshen City Government.
Therefore, the level of the mysterious demon in Suitang Town has been rising one after another, becoming the only level three incident with no casualties.
After reading the file, Xu Shu took out a stack of ink papers nailed together from the file bag. The content on the paper was said to be a copy of the book that the monster had left at the scene at that time, and it was also the only clue to the file.
Because the eucalyptus was distributed to extraordinary websites across the country and the original was sealed, only reprints could be obtained. Xu Shu flipped through the reprints and found some poems on them, all of which were modern poems popular among young students.
He had also read some of them. When he turned to the end, he found a few pieces that were particularly well written. And these pieces of particularly well-written modern poetry had a note on the back: they were originally written in handwriting and were suspected to be written by a mysterious demon.
Half an hour later, Xu Shu closed the document, stood up and stretched. The night was already dark, and the breeze outside the window brought the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. He simply opened the window wider, and suddenly thought that the sword idiot would visit again tomorrow night and he would not be able to see him.
Xu Shu wrote a short message and placed it on the steps of the main room. Then he went back to his room, got on the bed, lay down with his clothes on, and fell asleep within a short while.
The drizzle and wind soaked the streets of Suitang, and the streets were filled with yellow sycamore leaves. It had been two days since Xu Shu came to Suitang Town.
In just two days, he fell in love with this place that seemed like a paradise. In the relatively bustling market, there were no sounds of hawkers or quarrels, and the passers-by were all quiet and gentle.
Pedestrians all had smiles on their faces and their steps were slow and slow, as if the fast-paced life outside the town suddenly pressed the slowdown button here.
There is excitement but no hustle and bustle. There is prosperity but no busyness. Except for the occasional play by ignorant children, this place is perfect for Xu Shu, who likes to live in peace.
I like it, but Xu Shu's heart is getting more and more impetuous. In the past two days, he has searched all over Suitang Town, a small town, and can't find any trace of the mysterious demon at all.
"There is absolutely no mystery in the world without a reason. The mysterious demon has put Suitang Town in such a state. It must be for something." Xu Shu found a tea stall near the water and sat down, drinking tea and thinking silently.
The bosses are a middle-aged couple, both of whom are kind-hearted and talkative. Seeing Xu Shu's face, they took the initiative to chat.
"There are no monsters causing trouble. Let me tell you, it's just that the people in Suitang have become accustomed to the prosperity and have had enough of the noise. Everyone has become more modest. You see, I am running a tea stall now. I used to kill people with a knife at the pier.
"." The boss pulled down the clothes on his shoulders, revealing the tattoo underneath.
"Although I earn less now, I feel comfortable. I work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Everyone is in harmony. Isn't that what life is like?" Xu Shu smiled and nodded,
"Having said that, you still have to work hard to save some money. Once you get sick or have a disaster, your good life will be ruined." The landlady who was adding firewood to the stove said cheerfully,
"Even if there is illness or disaster, what can the little money saved by the ordinary people for decades help? Fortunately, God has blessed us. Suitang Town has had good weather and peace in these years. Jiang from Jishan Pharmacy in the town The boss is kind-hearted and often provides medical treatment and medicines to the people who cannot afford medical treatment. Our life is not bad, not as good as Chunshen, a big city, but it is considered to be the best in Hong'an County." Xu Shu agreed with a smile, He secretly made up his mind that even if the mysterious demon refused to accept the imperial decree, he would never kill him violently.
"I told your baby not to play around there, boss, hurry up, hurry up, a baby has fallen into the water," the landlady shouted, holding a piece of flaming wood in her hand.
The boss was just about to take off his clothes, but Xu Shu moved first. He grabbed a long pole for drying clothes, and jumped out to the other side. He was in mid-air, and the long pole was already out, and he accurately penetrated the clothes from the back of the child who had fallen into the water.
With a bang, the man landed, and the long pole lifted the child out of the river. He shook the long pole gently, and the child fell out of his arms.
Not long after, a panicked woman ran up to Xu Shu and took off her shoes while thanking Xu Shu.
The child was startled, broke away from Xu Shu's arms, and ran away. Xu Shu smiled, returned to the tea stall, and was about to sit down. Suddenly, he stared northwest and immediately stopped sitting down and handed over the tea money instead. Prepare to leave.
The boss and his wife refused to accept the offer. After Xu Shu thanked him, he walked to a distance, waved his hand, and a silver dollar accurately landed on the tea seat where he had been sitting.
Immediately, he quickened his steps and headed east, out of the market, and entered the large fields where wheat seeds had been cultivated.
It was almost early winter, and the fields were desolate and desolate.
"Girl, you dropped your book." Xu Shu said loudly. Twenty meters in front of him, a woman in green turned her face. She had an ordinary face, gentle eyebrows, and a slim figure. She only had a natural tranquility. His temperament is rare in the world.
The woman in green stared at the copy handed over by Xu Shu, shook her head slightly,
"You are mistaken, it is not my book."
"The grass is bearing its seeds, the wind is shaking its leaves, we stand silently, it is very beautiful." Xu Shucai finished reading a short poem, and suddenly, the woman in green disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, the scenery in Xu Shu's eyes quickly faded. An active volcano erupted on the spot, and overwhelming magma poured towards him.
Xu Shu knew in his heart that it must be an illusion, but his body and consciousness were filled with uncontrollable fear, and he couldn't help but run away.
What was even more frightening was that the hot magma seemed to surround him in an instant, and even his consciousness boiled and burned.
Xu Shu was about to activate the green ring and hit it against the overwhelming lava. The next moment, the illusion disappeared.
A voice came into the sea of consciousness,
"I am here not to hurt anyone or anything. You are also a kind person, so why bother pushing me? I advise you to go and don't seek trouble." Xu Shu looked around, but there was no sign of the woman in green.
