I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 42 The Demon-Revealing Mirror Causes Trouble

"Auntie, why does it seem like Big Yellow has gotten bigger than before?"

The two followed Dahuang outside. Meng Ziyang looked at the Tibetan Mastiff in front of them and felt that its rear end was almost as high as his chin.

But it wasn't this high yesterday.

Meng Qi didn't feel anything. She was half a head shorter than Meng Ziyang, and when she stood next to Da Huang, the dog could almost swallow her up.

"I think it's smarter than before. It can understand human speech and does whatever I tell it to do in the morning."

He's a very good lackey.

The two people and the dog arrived at the earthen mound outside the door. Da Huang stretched out its front paw and patted it, then turned its head to look at Meng Qi.

"What? Auntie, what did you bury?"

This was something they used to do often: dig a hole and bury things they didn't like.

Meng Qi stared at the pit for about three seconds before slowly looking down at her wrist.

Because the color of the hilt was too dazzling, Meng Qi spotted the black knife hiding in a corner, pretending to be dead, at a glance.

Both the blade and the handle were spotless, without a speck of dirt on them.

Her consciousness lingered on the blade for a moment, but just as she was about to withdraw it, she suddenly stopped.

How did the Demon-Revealing Mirror turn its back on us?
I remember when I put it in, the mirror side was facing up. Now it's not only facing down, but the antique brass also has a lot of scratches, as if it ran out and got into a fight with someone at some point that she didn't know about.

Otherwise, how do you explain these scratches?
Mengqi took the mirror out of the box and examined it several times.

The scratches on the back aren't deep, but they're still quite noticeable. The strange thing is, even with such damage to the back, why is the mirror surface still smooth and undamaged?

This thing is a bit weird.

"Auntie, let me see this mirror."

Meng Qi handed it to Meng Ziyang.

At this moment, Meng Shulan called the two of them to eat from the kitchen. Thinking of the fragrant beef porridge in the casserole, Meng Qi turned around and ran away.

Meng Ziyang was walking into the yard with a mirror in his hand, looking at himself. Suddenly he stopped, stared at the mirror, and screamed "Ah!" His hand trembled, and the mirror fell to the ground.

Meng Shulan, Meng Qi, and Lin Qingquan came over upon hearing the noise and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's a pig in the pig mirror."

Meng Ziyang spoke incoherently, his face filled with terror, "Tusks, a pig with tusks!"

That must be a wild boar. It's completely different from the pigs raised in their village. It's glaring at him fiercely, looking menacing.

He was a child who wasn't even afraid of a big green snake, but he was startled by the sudden appearance of this big wild boar.

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi darted over and picked up the mirror from the ground. But when she turned it over, all she saw was her clean, fair face. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see any wild boar.

"Did you see it wrong?"

I was so excited for nothing. I thought that after lamb and beef, there would be wild boar meat too, but it didn't happen.

Lin Qingquan took the mirror from his daughter and asked in surprise, "Is this really a demon-revealing mirror?"

"Yes, last night I saw that sheep demon at my great-grandfather's house from here, and that's when I went there with my grandfather."

Lin Qingquan was completely dumbfounded. His daughter was casually pulling out one legendary, non-existent treasure after another, and he didn't even know how to react. "Could there really be a pig demon nearby?"

He held the mirror and looked at it over and over. Although there was nothing in it at the moment, and whoever looked in it would be the person in the mirror, Meng Ziyang had just been so frightened that he probably wouldn't lie.

Meng Qi wasn't sure if it was true or not, but she knew that if it was, it would be just like last night, even showing the location.

She asked Meng Ziyang, "Can you see the pig clearly now?"

After the initial shock, Meng Ziyang is much better now. He shook his head and said, "It's just a pig's head, it's not showing up anywhere."

Just a pig's head?
Where can we find it?

Meng Qi lost interest, put the mirror away, and turned to go back to the kitchen.

Lin Qingquan took his wife's phone and called Yin Zheng, saying, "There might be another pig demon appearing nearby. Be careful when you two are patrolling."

Meanwhile, the Demon-Revealing Mirror, now back in its storage ring, lay in the corner, its bronze body trembling as it chuckled.

Not far away, Hei Feng, who was also lying in a corner, sneered, "Shameless! What kind of skill is it to bully a child?"

The demon-revealing mirror stopped shaking. It turned around and "looked" at Hei Feng, its voice soft and childish, but the words it uttered pierced Dao's heart: "Dog peeing!"

Hei Feng's "expression" changed drastically, and he charged fiercely at the Demon-Revealing Mirror, "You brat, are you asking for a beating again?"

But since its little master was awake, and it was afraid of making a noise that would startle her, it could only use the hilt of the knife to hold the mirror down tightly, and said fiercely, "You're only able to act recklessly because the master hasn't made you acknowledge the little master as your master yet? Just wait, when the master wakes up again, I will definitely tell him."

When its owner modified and awakened it last time, it made it undergo a blood oath ceremony with its young owner.

Although its current owner is only a five-year-old girl, and pitifully weak, it has no complaints; on the contrary, it finds it quite amusing.

This is a world unlike anything it had ever known before, filled with strange and wonderful things: a "small box" that can transmit sound even though it's not a sound transmission talisman, a "large box" that can run incredibly fast even though it's not a flying artifact, and a "glass wall" that can perform.
Even though there is no spiritual energy here, and the energy of heaven and earth is extremely polluted, and most of the people here are ordinary people, what they possess is so extraordinary.

Even this spirit, which has lived for thousands of years, has never seen.

So, does this also mean that the people here may seem ordinary, but are actually extraordinary?
Well, that should be it.

Black Maple felt as if he had grasped the essence, so he must behave himself when he was out and about and listen to his young master.

"Is beef sold for 10,000 like lamb?"

Early in the morning, Meng Zichen found someone to help his great-grandmother build a sheep pen and a wall. After finishing, he ate beef porridge cooked by Ninth Grandfather at his great-grandmother's house. Then he immediately called Meng Shubing over to discuss selling beef.

The meat smells so good that he's finally starting to have confidence in the price.

Meng Shubing said, "They probably won't notice anything if we take raw meat over there. How about we braise a pot of beef?"

Adding ginger to porridge makes it smell this good; if you braise it, it must smell amazing!

When it's opened, let alone asking for 10,000, someone might even buy it for 20,000.

After all, it's not just delicious; it can actually heal wounds.

Last night, Meng Zichen was helping to clean up the broken bricks and tiles when he accidentally cut his left thumb. It was quite deep and bled a lot.

Before eating beef porridge this morning, that spot still hurts when touched, and it can't get wet.

To my surprise, after eating the porridge, not only did the pain subside, but the wound actually healed, leaving only a thin line that is barely noticeable unless you look closely.

Its effects are comparable to a miracle cure!
