I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 7 Coincidence?

This is a flowing river, but Yunmeng Village is not its source. It is said that after passing through here, it eventually flows into Jiaolongtan next to Sanqing Mountain.

Of course, this is just hearsay, and nobody knows if it's true. After all, it's more than 100 kilometers from here to Sanqing Mountain. Who would be so bored as to look for the end of a river?
The reason Meng Jiu threw the snake's head into the river was because she knew it was a flowing river, and whatever was thrown in would eventually be washed away, and the river would soon become clear again.

For example, right now, the river water, which was stained red by snake blood, slowly fades away. In a few hours, not a trace of blood will be found.

"Let's go home and make dragon and phoenix soup."

With a shout, Meng Jiu hoisted the snake and strode forward.

"Sir, snake gall."

After resting for a while, Meng Qi stood up, held up a lump of flesh in her hand, and examined it against the sunlight overhead. "This beast's gall seems a bit different. It looks somewhat transparent and shiny."

Lin Qingquan's heart skipped a beat. Before Meng Jiu could speak, he took a few steps closer to Meng Qi and reached out his hand, "Xiao Qi, let Daddy see."

Meng Qi tossed the snake gall to Lin Qingquan and turned to walk away. Meng Ziyang caught up with her and whispered, "Auntie, what did that person just say? Who did he say he was?"

Meng Qi replied casually, "My dad."

Meng Ziyang's eyes widened instantly. "What? He's got some nerve, daring to be your father?"

Meng Qi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, but he can't do anything about it. He doesn't have a choice in this matter."

“That’s true,” Meng Ziyang said with deep feeling. It was like he didn’t want to be his aunt’s nephew, but wanted to be her brother, yet he still couldn’t help himself.

He turned his head and looked at Lin Qingquan's empty right arm, and asked in surprise, "Why is he missing an arm?"

"Who knows? I guess he got into a fight and lost, so he got slashed."

As Meng Qi spoke, she clicked her tongue and said, "Useless."

“I bet the other guy doesn’t know you’re his daughter,” Meng Ziyang said, looking at Lin Qingquan with some sympathy. “He’s probably not very bright. He couldn’t even mention your name when he was losing a fight. He deserves to lose an arm.”

Meng Qi stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "You mean, I should avenge him?"

"Of course we have to report it. He's your father, after all. It doesn't matter that he lost his arm. What matters is that your authority, Aunt, cannot be challenged. Just like this big green dog, we agreed to a fight in the afternoon, but it insisted on coming out in the middle of the day to bother people. See, it's getting punished now."

Green Snake can't hear him now. If she could, she would definitely roar, "Who the hell told you to come out in the afternoon? I don't want to stay here. Can't I just leave?"

Okay, now that you're gone...

The two children followed behind Meng Jiu, whispering to each other. Lin Qingquan walked at the back, holding the snake gall in his hand—or rather, the demon core, the lowest grade, the one that had just grown.

He found it strange that Yunmeng Village belonged to Qingzhou, and because of the demonic calamity that broke out in Sanqing Mountain, the area within a hundred kilometers had been thoroughly searched several times.

Logically speaking, such a large snake demon should have been found long ago, so why was it overlooked here?
Compared to more distant cities and regions, the area within 100 kilometers of Sanqingshan is actually safer.

The country has deployed troops and special personnel to be stationed here year-round so that they can arrive immediately and handle any situation.

Even so, it was still missed.

This reminded Lin Qingquan of the pig demon that appeared on the night Xiao Qi was born five years ago. Back then, that creature had also sneaked into the apartment building, causing Shu Lan to have a premature birth and leading to their divorce.

When he left Qingzhou, he followed a clue and found a person, but unfortunately there was no evidence to prove that he was related to Xiao Yuehua.

Although he believed his wife's deduction, he had no way to deal with Xiao Yuehua without any apparent evidence.

In the end, they could only use the phone call she made to Shulan, which caused Shulan to have a miscarriage, as an excuse to demand that the sect punish her.

Otherwise, he would leave the sect and cease to be a disciple of the Longshan Sect.

Even so, it didn't cause her any harm. Her senior apprentice handled it gently and even complained to him, blaming him for being petty and making a mountain out of a molehill.

Before this matter was over, he received a message from his master and senior brother Xiao. He and senior brother Nan rushed to Taiping Mountain Grand Canyon, only to find that it was a trap. They were trapped underground as soon as they entered.

When I came out again, everything had changed; five years had passed.

His arm was bitten off by a wolf demon while saving his senior brother Xiao's son. He didn't regret it at all; on the contrary, he was freed from the troubles of his sect and could now spend a peaceful life with his wife and daughter.

He heard Xiao Qi say she wanted to avenge him.

Lin Qingquan smiled with a hint of relief, but even he couldn't handle that wolf demon, let alone his five-year-old daughter.

However, the appearance of the snake demon here still needs to be reported.

Besides the wild bamboo forest near Yunmeng Village, there is also an undeveloped barren mountain not far away, with only a few scattered trees on it, which is easy to find.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingquan took out his phone, edited a text message, and sent it out.

Five years ago, the pig demon was after his wife; what about this snake demon now?
This is Shulan's hometown, home not only to his wife and daughters, but also to over a hundred members of the Meng family.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingquan narrowed his eyes. He decided to put aside how Xiao Qi killed it and instead investigate how it got here.

Is it still related to Xiao Yuehua?

Meng Jiu had already entered the courtyard carrying the snake. On the way, they encountered several of Meng's nephews and nieces, who all followed him in.

Some people didn't know Lin Qingquan, while others did, but none of them greeted him.

Lin Qingquan didn't care. He didn't follow them into the courtyard. Instead, he held his phone and dialed a number.

It was answered after only two rings.
"Clear spring?"

"Senior Brother Xiao, I have two things to say to you, please pass them on to your sister Xiao Yuehua."

There was a pause on the other end, then the voice said, "Go on."

“I know that Senior Brother Xiao has heard about the pig demon attacking my wife five years ago. Although Xiao Yuehua denies it, I am certain that she did it. Now, I have just returned to the village where my wife and daughter live, and I have found a snake demon lurking outside the village.”

Senior Brother Xiao, do you believe in such coincidences? Wherever my wife and children are, there are demons? What? Did a demon implant a tracking device on them?
What's even more coincidental is that they all happened to occur when I wasn't there.

Please tell Xiao Yuehua that from now on, if anything happens to my wife and daughter, even the slightest thing, or if a single hair is missing from their body, I will hold her accountable. Also, please tell my master that I have already shown him face once, and I will not do so again.”

That's all for today, let's continue tomorrow!
