Chapter 25 Cannibalism
"What are you looking at?" Su Heng's curious voice suddenly came.

"Nothing... nothing!" Su Li hurriedly stuffed the monster-hunting compass back into his arms, raised his head, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha……"

"Really?" Su Heng raised his eyebrows and asked thoughtfully, "I always feel that you are a little strange when you come back this time, as if you have something on your mind."

“Could it be that he was bullied in the county government?” Su Heng narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat dangerous.

"There's nothing."

Su Li felt warm in her heart and waved her hand, "Don't you know my personality?"

"That's true..."

Su Heng stretched out his hand and raised it forward suddenly. Su Li became alert instantly and took a step back.

But Su Heng just put his hand on the collar of his chest and unbuttoned it, revealing a touch of bronze skin on his chest.

He shook his head, "The weather is indeed a bit hot."

"That's right, that's right." Su Li knew that her reaction just now was a bit too intense, so she could only smile awkwardly and agree with him.

"Who is this……"

Su Heng's gaze passed over Su Li's head and fell on the maid behind him.

"This is my maid, Xiaoqing." Su Li reached out and grabbed Xiaoqing's arm, but felt that her body was very stiff.

"Xiaoqing,"

Su Li pointed at Su Heng and said, "This is my brother, Su Heng. I mentioned him to you before."

The young woman holding the umbrella nodded, her expression stiff, and opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

"Your maid looks a little unfamiliar." Su Heng said lightly.

"We found it in the county town. Xiaoqing is a very nice person. If it weren't for her help, it wouldn't have been easy coming here." Su Li hurriedly explained.

"Really?" Su Heng nodded thoughtfully.

His eyes moved away from Xiao Qing and fell on Su Li. "Father has already prepared a banquet at home. It's getting late, so let's hurry back home. As for other matters, we can talk about it after lunch."

"Okay!" Su Li agreed immediately.

Su Heng turned around and walked alone in front to lead the way.

Su Li and Xiao Qing were leading the donkey, following Su Heng not too far away.

"call……"

Su Li just breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I heard Xiaoqing's frightened voice ringing in my ears, "Your brother, he wants to eat me."

"He was indeed a bit lustful before..."

Su Li said in surprise, "But your joke is quite cold."

"I'm not kidding." Xiaoqing's voice continued, "Before you started practicing martial arts, have you ever had the feeling of being targeted by a large beast in the mountains? I had a similar feeling, but it was even stronger. He just wanted to kill me, and if he did, I would definitely die."

Hear these words.

Su Li stopped and turned around.

I saw Xiaoqing huddled in the shadows behind me, her face was terrifyingly pale, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

……

……

……

The air was filled with the aroma of wine and the clinking of glasses.

Although the atmosphere was a little stiff at the beginning, everyone quickly got used to it.

During the banquet.

Su Li talked about her experiences while studying abroad.

He also talked about many wonderful and interesting things that happened in the county government, which made many people present look longing.

Although the Su family is considered a local wealthy family in Changqing County, in the entire county, it is just an ordinary family living in a corner.

Many people in the family have never even left Changqing County.

Naturally, I am curious about the wonderful cultural scenery of the county seat.

Su Gui drank a lot of wine, his face was flushed, and he talked with his mouth wide open about all the strange things that had happened in Changqing County recently.

Su Li listened very carefully.

When the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax, Su Gui asked Su Shang, who was just eating, to go up and perform a show.

Su Shang was paralyzed, but intimidated by his father's majesty, he had to bite the bullet and walk in front of everyone to recite a poem by Ying Jing. The only thing that surprised Su Gui was that.

In his memory, the relationship between Su Heng and Su Li was very good, sometimes even too close.

But this time, we met again after two years...

However, Su Gui always felt that they seemed to be hiding something from each other, and they didn't talk much at the banquet.

Although he noticed that the atmosphere was a little unusual, Su Gui didn't think much about it.

Su Li and Su Heng.

One is a talented woman who is famous in the county, and the other is a fierce man who can tear monsters apart with his bare hands.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they are all unattainable big shots.

It is normal for children to be a little reserved when they grow up and achieve success.

The old man was drinking happily. These doubts only flashed through his mind and were then thrown aside.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The banquet is over.

After saying goodbye to her father and brothers, Su Li walked towards the villa with her maid.

The other people at the banquet also dispersed in groups of three or four and went home to rest.

Soon, Su Heng was the only one left in the huge hall.

There were also servants and maids working in groups of three or four to clean the table.

Su Heng's eyes were empty as he looked in the direction where Su Li had left. The sun was shining brightly outside the door, shining on the branches and leaving shadows swaying back and forth on the gray and white floor.

"Cuckoo!"

Two fat gray pigeons flapped their wings, landed in their nest, and preened their feathers with their beaks.

"Su Li,"

Su Heng frowned slightly, his face gloomy.

Recalling the scenes that happened after he met Su Li just now, he couldn't help but sigh, squinted his eyes, looked up at the sun in the sky, and let the scorching sunlight shine on him.

When the water ghost first appeared in Changqing County, Su Heng began to worry about his sister.

It’s hundreds of kilometers from the county seat to Changqing County.

a woman.

It is inevitable that there will be some accidents.

Until a few days ago, Su Gui received the news that Su Li had returned safely.

Su Heng finally let go of his anxious heart.

but……

Saw it with my own eyes today.

Thinking of all the abnormalities, Su Heng was still able to conclude that something strange must have happened to Su Li.

Su Heng was not sure what the specific situation was.

But the maid named Xiaoqing beside Su Li had a very obvious demonic aura.

However, compared to the water ghosts he had encountered before, Xiaoqing's aura was obviously much weaker, and seemed to be different from the authentic demons.

Su Li said that she was able to get here safely thanks to Xiaoqing's help.

The scholar and the female ghost, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian.

The story of A Chinese Ghost Story popped into Su Heng’s mind.

But both of them are female... yuri!? They are so playful, they are worthy of coming back from the big city.

Su Heng shook his head, feeling that the more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became.

Actually,
When I saw Xiaoqing for the first time just now.

He wanted to catch him and interrogate him on the spot.

But seeing that Su Li and Xiao Qing seemed to have a close relationship, Su Heng eventually slowly suppressed this idea.

"never mind……"

Su Heng usually acts decisively, but this matter involves his family.

But it seems a bit tangled.

After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "Let's continue to observe for a while, and then make more plans!"
