Chapter 132 The Old Storyteller
"Guest officer, all the old wine in my shop is here, look." The shop owner stood beside Wu Ming with a smiling face.

Wu Ming sat on a chair, held a teacup in his hand, looked at the large and small wine jars, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, let's pay the bill."

As soon as the bill was settled, all kinds of old wine were counted, but it cost more than 100 taels of silver, which can be called high quality and low price.

Wu Ming didn't ask the wine shop owner for money, but collected dozens of jars of old wine, and kept all the remaining money so that the wine shop owner could continue to collect good wine.

After leaving the wine shop, Wu Ming walked on the street to experience the local conditions and customs in Liaozhai.

I saw countless traffickers and pawns, either carrying burdens, or pushing carts, or carrying them on their shoulders, forming the appearance of all living beings.

"Daughter, my poor daughter, you just left, how can I live?"

On the street, countless pedestrians formed a circle, and there was the sound of howling and crying.

Wu Ming walked forward curiously. It turned out that it was an old woman marrying a daughter, but she was not married, and was killed by evil spirits on the way to welcome her.

"Aunt Zhang really has a hard life. The conditions at home are not good. It took a lot of effort to bring up the child, and this happened in the end!"

"Hey, who said otherwise! Including Zhang Tuhu's family in Dongzhen, Wang Yuan's family in Zaozhuang, and the daughter of Aunt Zhang's family, three brides have been killed. Why is this ghost king so arrogant? Isn't it a crime to attack the bride specifically?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, we can't talk about the ghost king. If you want me to say, let's move as soon as possible, we can't live this life!"

There was a discussion among the crowd, and Wu Ming frowned when he heard it.

The ghost king, Nine-Tailed Fox, killed three brides one after another, not to mention that he had no taboos.

Being so crazy and unscrupulous shows that Nine-Tailed Fox's strength is extraordinary, and he doesn't care about causing chaos or public anger.

You know, this is the world of Liao Zhai, where demons and ghosts run rampant, but there are also many people with real skills.

Not to mention far away, on the mountain behind Jiuxiang Town, there is Yan Chixia's secluded house without a door.

If this situation continues, Yan Chixia, who has been slapped in the face, will sooner or later be unbearable.

"What the hell, who does this Nine-Tailed Fox think she is, the Daluo Jinxian who conquered the Golden Immortal Avenue? It's such an outrage, even if you are stronger than Yan Chixia, you can't pretend to be like this in the place where the bearded man sits in charge." Let's play the face-slapping one!" Wu Ming shook his head and left, feeling sad for Nine-Tailed Fox's ignorance.

After walking around the street twice, Wu Ming didn't find Yan Shi and the others, so he went to wait in the restaurant.

It just so happened that there was an old man telling a book in the restaurant, Wu Ming had nothing to do and sat down and listened to it. It turned out that the old man was telling a story many years ago.

"It is said that eighty miles to the west of Jiuxiang Town, there is a Hujiazhuang, and the whole village is full of people with the surname Hu. 60 years ago, it happened that the old man Hu in Hujiazhuang married a daughter, and he married Liu Shusheng from the county.

On the day of the wedding, a bandit came down the mountain just in time, and ran into the wedding procession.At that time, besides Hu Jiumei, who was waiting to be married, in the wedding team was Liu Shusheng who came to welcome the bride.As a result, when they met bandits, none of the people who greeted the relatives ran away, and all of them were surrounded by bandits.

At that time, the leader of the bandits said that if the bridegroom survives, the bride will stay.If the bride wants to live, the groom cannot leave.

Liu Shusheng had never seen such a battle before, and he ran away in fright, leaving only Hu Jiumei who was waiting to be married.

That night, Hu Jiumei, who was thrown away, hanged herself wearing a wedding dress.In the 60 years since then, there have been ghost kings robbing marriages in our place. "

The old man is getting old, and when he tells a story, he has to stop for a while to drink his saliva.

Wu Ming sat on the bench and looked at each other thoughtfully.

If this story is true, the ghost king Nine-Tailed Fox who snatched the marriage is likely to be Hu Jiumei.

It's just that I don't know how the old man knows so clearly after 60 years have passed.

"Old man, you said that the ghost king who snatched the marriage is Hu Jiumei?" Wu Ming stood up and asked the old storyteller.

The old man shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm not sure. Those who have seen the ghost king in these years have all died. I'm afraid no living person will know who the ghost king is, and no one will know if it's Hu Jiumei. If If anyone knows, the little second child also wants to ask, who is this ghost king?"

"No one knows, it's not likely!" Wu Ming thought of Yan Chixia, who must know what Hu Jiumei looks like.

After all, Yan Chixia came to Jiuxiang Town to live in seclusion 20 years ago, and the two sides must have met face to face.

The only thing that surprised Wu Ming was the old man's identity, so he said, "Old man, do you dare to ask your surname?"

"Hehe, the old man's surname is Hu"

The storyteller’s surname is Hu, and Hu Jiumei in the story is also surnamed Hu. The connection is very thought-provoking.

Wu Ming has been thinking about the weakness of the ghost king Nine-Tailed Fox.

If this old storyteller is really in the same family as Nine-Tailed Fox, this is good news for him.

"Brother Wu Ming, we are back." Before Wu Ming could speak again, Yan Shi and Cui Hongjian rushed to the restaurant.

Seeing Yan Shi and the others come back, Wu Ming waved his hands to the two of them and said, "Yan Shi, do you recognize you old man?"

"This." Yan Shi looked at the old storyteller, nodded after thinking for a moment, and said, "Yes, old man Hu has been telling stories nearby. Almost every year, he would go to see my master, but my master doesn't like it very much. he."

"That's it!"

Wu Ming thought for a while, got up and came to Old Man Hu, and invited: "Mr., I am very interested in your story. How about we go upstairs and discuss it in detail?"

"Okay, okay." Old man Hu looked very happy, and followed Wu Ming and the others to the second floor, showing no sign of displeasure.

Sitting in the private room on the second floor, Wu Ming ordered a few side dishes, and asked Xiaoer to serve two pots of warm wine.

Afterwards, Wu Ming signaled Yan Shi and the two not to talk, and sat next to old man Hu, and asked kindly: "Mr. , you are from Hujiazhuang, and you are related to that Hu Jiumei?"

"Relevant, irrelevant idlers, how could they come here!" Old man Hu walked around, knowing what Wu Ming wanted to ask, and said calmly: "In the family, old man, I am the sixth child, and the one who hanged is my eldest sister. I am looking for Hero Yan, just to ask if this ghost king who snatched the marriage is really my eldest sister!"

Although Wumenju has no door, it does not welcome anyone.

When Wu Ming heard this statement, he first poured a cup of tea for the old man, and then asked, "Old man, what did Hero Yan say?"

"Hey"

Old man Hu sighed, shook his head and said: "Hero Yan doesn't want to care about it, he just said that people and ghosts have different paths, don't have other ideas. However, since the ghost king came out to snatch the marriage, our Hu family village is also in panic, we also want to find an answer! "

"So, you don't know if the ghost king who snatched the marriage is your sister?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen the ghost king. I'm just counting the time. It should be my sister. Otherwise, you guys let me meet, and it will be clear when the time comes."
