I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 56 Kicked out

The family of three had just entered the courtyard when Meng Shulan stopped halfway and blocked Lin Qingquan's path.

Having trained with Qingge for five years, she is now quite sharp-eared and sharp-eyed. Within a radius of fifty meters, she can hear almost anything being spoken, no matter how soft the voice is.

So she heard everything Meng Wenpei said about her being a third party.

Although his expression remained unchanged, the chill emanating from him made Lin Qingquan shiver involuntarily.

But his attention was focused on his daughter in his arms, and he didn't notice what those people were whispering about.

But seeing his wife's expression made his heart pound, and he cautiously asked, "What's wrong?"

"I told you before, right? This house is only for Xiaoqi and me; it's inconvenient for you. But you're so capable, you'll definitely find a place to stay, right?"

When Meng Shulan said this, her expression was exactly the same as usual. She even smiled at him after she finished speaking, but it was this smile that made him feel a little creeped out.

When Xiao Qi was taken away from her arms, Lin Qingquan suddenly felt not only that her arms were empty, but also that her heart was empty.

Before entering the main room, Meng Shulan glanced at him again indifferently, "Please close the door behind you when you leave, thank you!"

Lin Qingquan:
They won't even let him into the house?
Lin Qingquan stood blankly in the courtyard, looking completely lost.

Just then, there were two knocks on the large iron gate. He turned around and saw Ji Yu push open the small door in the middle of the large iron gate, peek in, and show him a set of big white teeth. "Uncle, can I stay here tonight?"

Lin Qingquan:
What good things are you thinking about?

He said irritably, "What do you mean 'stay'? Come with me to Sanqing Mountain."

I was originally going to go and investigate anyway, but since I have nowhere to stay right now, I'll go to the foot of the mountain and ask Old Zhang for a room.

Old Zhang, Zhang Jinwu, is skilled with a gun. He grew up in the Shaolin Temple and is a rare martial artist who has trained his body to be incredibly tough. Even if ten young men from a special department attacked him together, they couldn't break a single skin.

The bull demon that Xiao Qi and Meng Shulan killed together was later given to Zhang Jinwu by Lin Qingquan for research.

As Lin Qingquan stepped out the door, he called out into the house, "Wife!"

Meng Shulan walked out of the main room with a blank expression.

Lin Qingquan smiled ingratiatingly, "Well, come over and lock the door from the inside. There are a lot of people in town, so you and your mother shouldn't come out unless it's absolutely necessary."

Meng Shulan walked slowly across the courtyard. Lin Qingquan thought she was going to see him off, and was quite pleased. He quickly said, "I'll take Xiaoyu's car, so you don't need to go out."

Before Lin Qingquan could finish speaking, Meng Shulan slammed the small iron gate shut.

Luckily, Lin Qingquan retreated quickly, otherwise the door would have slapped him in the face.

Then two clicks were heard from inside, and both the main door and the side door were locked.

Lin Qingquan:
Ji Yu:
"Uncle, were you kicked out?"

Ji Yu looked at Lin Qingquan in disbelief. No wonder he didn't let him stay here earlier. It turns out you can't stay here either.

what!
I don't know why, but even though I still haven't found a place to settle down, I'm not anxious at all; on the contrary, I'm very happy.

"What do you mean 'rush'? Is your aunt that kind of person? I came here on official business. She's angry that I'm going to Sanqing Mountain right after I arrived, instead of spending time with her and her daughter."

Yes, that's it.

Lin Qingquan convinced himself.

"Huh? That's it."

Ji Yu, who had been navigating the dating scene since he was thirteen, didn't believe a word of this, but to save face for his uncle, he pretended to believe it.

Then it suddenly dawned on him, "Official business? Uncle, you've joined the government?"

"Okay, we've joined. Open the car door." It's only three kilometers from Qingshui Town to the foot of Sanqing Mountain. The garrison set up camp in what was originally Sanshui Village.

"Uncle, when did you join the government?"

Three kilometers is very short; Ji Yu arrived in almost no time at all.

Lin Qingquan pointed to the village outside, which hadn't regained its former liveliness despite the soldiers' presence, and said in a deep voice, "Ten years ago, I was here fighting demons with them. We killed many demons, but many of them died too. The bones buried here aren't just those of the villagers, but also those of young people your age."

Although modern society is equipped with advanced weaponry, the incident happened so suddenly that no one expected these inexplicably appearing monsters to be so cruel and powerful.

Ten years ago, Ji Yu was only eight years old. He only heard his elders talk about this turmoil. They said that there were a total of 1,006 people in the village, including the elderly and children. After deducting 230 people who went out on business, the remaining 776 people were all bitten to death by monsters, and some were even eaten, leaving no trace of their bodies.

An unprecedented tragedy!
"So, Uncle, is that why you joined?"

Lin Qingquan didn't answer his question. Instead, he looked at him and asked, "You're idle all day and don't want to stay at school. Why don't you come in and do a part-time job?"

Don't underestimate the art of face-changing. Every practitioner must first cultivate internal strength. Once you have internal strength, you are much stronger than an ordinary person.

Moreover, people with supernatural abilities have many tricks up their sleeves; who doesn't have a few life-risking skills?

As far as Lin Qingquan knew, Old Master Ji had collected a lot of cultivation techniques and skills over the years, and Ji Yu was the most talented in their family. He couldn't say what level the kid was at now.

"Uncle, you know I can't stand being restrained."

This is just like being a soldier, so tiring, with all these rules and regulations, things you can't do, things you can't do. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Lin Qingquan raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head. "I said part-time job. Didn't you hear me? It means helping out when there's something to do, and you don't have to go if there's nothing to do. You don't need to train with anyone or anything, and you still get paid. Isn't that better than you doing nothing all day?"

"How much is the salary?"

Lin Qingquan was stunned for a moment. He thought that the Ji family was a large and wealthy family. Let alone a few thousand yuan, even 100,000 yuan might not be much money in his eyes.

He then raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head. "Is this about money? You're eighteen years old and an adult. Can't you have some lofty ideals? What kind of talk is this, thinking about money all day long? You won't do it if you don't have money, will you?"

Ji Yu opened her mouth, feeling very wronged.

Didn't you say the salary? Why can't I even ask?

After that, he simply shut up and said nothing more.

After leaving Meng Shulan's house, Meng Wenpei and the others drove around the town for a while without finding a house. After discussing it, they decided to drive to the vicinity of Sanshui Village.

There is a cordon at the entrance to Sanshui Village, which strictly prohibits unauthorized personnel from entering, or even getting close.

This method can stop ordinary people, but it can't stop this group of supernatural beings.

However, because Zhang Jinwu was stationed there, no one dared to make too much noise. They would only sneak up the mountain at night to see if they could find anything.

Zhang Jinwu turned a blind eye to this, pretending not to know.

There were no barriers or guards around Jiaolongtan. Anyone who wanted to go down and investigate could go, but the authorities would not be responsible for any accidents.

Meng Wenpei and the others had never been up the mountain before. They originally planned to stay in town and see what happened.

But now that I haven't found a place to stay, I don't want to linger any longer, so I'll just go up the mountain for a stroll tonight.

As they were discussing what time to set off and which side to take up the mountain, they saw Ji Yu's red SUV flash past them and then drive to the warning line at the intersection of Sanshui Village.

After they stopped, the people inside showed something to the guards, and they were allowed to pass.

I'm posting the second update early today!
