After the demon incident is over.

Bo Ziyu took a small cart and carried Zhou Huai's body and half of the strange insect hanging from his belly, and pushed it all the way to the Yamen lobby.

It's the day.

Everyone in the county government vomited.

It was said that several adults had been "scared" and had to go home to recuperate for some time. Therefore, even Xing Baotou, who was recovering from his injuries in bed, was reprimanded for Bo Ziyu's "reckless" behavior.

Of course, the effect is still there.

After coming from the "Tiger Auntie" stall, there were vague rumors in the yamen about "people turning into monsters", but firstly, it was too "nonsense", and secondly, due to laziness, this theory was not taken seriously.

But when Zhou Huai's body appeared in front of the county government officials, the idea of ​​"human beings turning into monsters" was put into practice.

Even after vomiting and recuperating, he still expressed his attention to the changes in the case.

Specifically, he called the new head catcher over, treated him with kindness and threats, bluffed and frightened him, sprayed him with blood, and ordered him to solve the case within a few days.

During this period, Li Changan also mentioned the matter of Yu Mei in a sideways manner, such as whether the ghost-faced man killed someone for a reason.

But obviously, compared to whether there is a reason for killing, or even whether the person killed is a human being, adults are more concerned about whether they have lost the prestige of the government and lost their own face.

Therefore, Yu Mei's reward can still be hung at the city gate. At most, he can add the sentence "If he can surrender, he will be treated leniently" on the notice.

At the same time.

He also added a reward for the "demon transformation". He didn't dare to say it openly for fear of alerting others, but secretly said that he would recruit strange people and strangers. The reward would be higher than Yu Mei's head.

Two hundred taels!

But Li Changan thought this was a complete joke.

Whether it's the subtle attempt to conceal it or the reward itself.

After all, although Xiaoshui is said to be densely populated, it is still just a county town. A slight disturbance can spread throughout the county, so no secrets can be hidden anywhere.

Moreover, there are six "righteous men" who accepted the reward last time to draw lessons from the past.

Two brothers, Zhang Tong and Zhang Shaonan, broke their arms and legs and went back to their old business of "rogues" without even earning a tael for their medical expenses.

Zheng Butcher went back dejectedly with wounds all over his body and continued to slaughter sheep and sell them for meat.

Parallel swordsman Xu Zhan ran away immediately afterwards and reportedly found a job as a housekeeper to make ends meet.

The Taoist priest Feng Chong and the knight-errant Zhang Yi were the two most capable. They fought against Yu Mei and then fought against the monster. They fought for the longest time and were injured the most.

Calculating it this way, those who got involved in this matter were cowardly, ran away, and were injured, and none of them ended up well. In this way, who is so heartless as to wade into this muddy water?

Li Changan was left with a single seedling, complete with beard and tail, and alive and kicking.

However……

The breeze is warm and the feeling of spring is pleasant.

In the small courtyard of Yujiadi store.

The breeze shakes the wisteria, releasing bursts of fragrance.

In the courtyard, Lao Kai propped up a dense canopy of trees to cover most of the courtyard.

Dappled sunlight shines down.

The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes lazily, rubbed his body against the tree trunk, found a more comfortable position to lean on, picked up a bamboo arrow and threw it casually.

The bamboo arrow drew an arc and accurately fell into a thin-necked barnacle about ten steps away.

well--

The few little devils watching the battle immediately let out a series of sighs.

The Taoist priest laughed.

"Ten out of ten shots, I won."

He put away the sheathed dagger on the table as a bet, and stretched his magic hand to the plate of cakes opposite.

"This plate of wisteria cake is mine."

The little girl Amei who lost the game opposite made a "hum" sound, shook her braid, and ran away angrily with her little followers.

"This wild girl really doesn't know her etiquette!"

The store owner quickly came over and apologized.

The Taoist priest waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter, thanks to Xiao Amei, I also made a plate of snacks."

The store owner was also a talkative person. Seeing Li Changan's kindness, he sighed and started chattering.

Why, Amei's father is a prodigal who has not been seen for many years. When he comes home, he only tells little Amei about weird things like monsters, strange people, swordsmen, wizards and so on. As a result, little Amei doesn't look like a girl.

, fooling around with boys all day long, and also said that in the future she would become a disciple of an immortal and become a heroine who could slay demons and slay demons.

He talked a lot about various things, finally remembered that he had something to do, left a pot of new wine, and left with a sigh.

As he walked, he kept mumbling.

"This girl is always like this, how can she get married in the future? Lao Yan's son plays very well with her, why don't we make an engagement early?"

Li Changan's left ear went in and the right ear went out, just like the wind blowing the trees and waves, without paying any attention.

It's a pity that I didn't enjoy much peace.

The store owner stepped on the front foot, but Bo Ziyu made up for it from nowhere.

"The Taoist Master is so pure that he has the leisure to play hut with children?"

"if not?"

The Taoist priest smiled and pushed the snack over.

Bo Ziyu blushed at the bubbles on his mouth.

"Can't eat it."

"drink wine?"

"I can't even drink it!"

"Why bother?"

Li Changan moved his back and let himself "sink" a little deeper into the tree trunk.

“Didn’t you report the matter about the ghosts to the county government?”

"Reported."

"The county government didn't pay attention to it?"

"Attention."

"The policeman didn't take any action?"

"Already looking around."

"Isn't this the end?"

The Taoist priest leaned against the old locust tree and took a sip of the new wine.

"Now that we've deployed our forces, let's just wait for news. Besides, even if you drag me out, it's just one more headless fly and it won't help."

"I know." Bo Ziyu sighed, "I just..."

It's just that being in it is unbearable.

Li Changan understood Bo Ziyu's anxiety.

In fact, the young police officer is worried about the hidden monsters and the spread of epidemics, so how can Li Changan not be anxious?

Two days have passed since the night of the ghost. Although the whole city was filled with fog at night, it was still peaceful on the surface. But only those who have really been exposed to this matter know what kind of undercurrents are surging under the surface calm.

Not to mention anything else, the possible existence of thirty-seven parasitic demonic insects is enough to make people tremble with fear.

Just imagine.

The wife you sleep with, the friends you have at the same table, the passers-by you pass by, government servants, vendors, prostitutes... all may have a strange insect hiding in their belly, and it may turn into a monster and devour you at any time.

There is no reason why people should not be frightened and trembled by it.

But, it’s still the same sentence.

No clues.

Moreover, Li Changan himself was full of doubts about Xiaoshui, the demon epidemic, the culprit behind the scenes, and even Yu Mei. However, Yu Mei had been elusive and hard to find. Even if he had doubts, he had to keep them in his heart.

It's useless to worry about things.

It's better to bask in the sun, eat some snacks, and drink a glass of new wine, so you can take a break from your busy schedule and recharge your batteries.

Bo Ziyu nodded reluctantly, and suddenly saw the short knife that Li Changan had used as a bet. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked.

"This is?"
