"Got it, get busy."
After hearing what the other party said, Shen Yi just nodded his chin lightly.
From what happened on Willow Street yesterday, when he was blinded, he had anticipated this scene.
Liu Dianli's response was methodical and methodical, worthy of being an old hand who has been in the business for so many years.
If he stayed indoors, Shen Yi would become a joke for the whole county, so he could only accept their conditions. If he opened the gate wide... wouldn't he be a complete fool?
Who in the world is willing to be an enemy of demons for no reason? As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. There is no money to be earned, so why risk your life?
The only thing Liu Dianli hadn't considered was...
Shen Yi can really benefit from killing monsters.
Not only does it exist, but it is far better than any real gold and silver. It is real life.
So Shen Yi felt no ripples in his heart.
Even if I have an idea, it will only be a slight joy.
"you..."
Chen Ji always felt that the other party seemed to have not heard what he said at all. This was a matter of life and death!
After a moment, he had no choice but to lower his hand and press it on the scabbard at his waist.
What is wrong with this world? A few days ago, I was denouncing the other party's wrongdoings, but in just a few days, I have become a lobbyist.
Recalling the figure of Shen Yi standing alone in front of the village, he is not someone who only talks.
Chen Ji laughed at himself and tightened his grip on the knife... Damn, I have to hurry up and save up the dowry.
"How much dowry does your family need for a daughter-in-law?"
"What?" Shen Yi looked back in confusion.
"Nothing, just asking casually." Chen Ji took a deep breath and quickly got rid of the inexplicable thoughts in his mind. One thing at a time, the other party could barely be considered a good constable, but his messy private life, well, he couldn't push his sister into the fire pit.
Fortunately, the other party didn't hear clearly...
"Actually, I like more mature ones."
Shen Yi shook his head and slightly recalled the generous heart of Sister-in-law Song.
While Chen Ji was still not reacting, he slowly walked into the classroom.
"No, is this settled?"
Zhang Dahu was so anxious that he jumped up and down, shouting at the two big men squatting at the door: "Are you two dumb? Speak!"
The Niu brothers have been dissatisfied with Lord Shen for a long time, and now they seem like a dumb person.
"My wife didn't even let me into the house yesterday."
Niu Da scratched the back of his head stupidly. When the news that he was following the girl named Shen got out, it almost caused a fire in the backyard, as if he had really taken possession of some girl.
"This morning, I was still asleep, and she suddenly... hehe... hehe..."
As he was talking, Niu Da suddenly laughed foolishly and rubbed his crotch hard.
"..."Zhang Dahu.
"..."Chen Ji.
Shen Yi glanced over helplessly and said calmly: "Open the gate."
Normally, ordinary people would never come to the yamen easily, let alone the classroom under the command of the notorious Master Shen.
But Shen Yi was not in a hurry.
He had seen the despair of the Liu father and daughter. As long as it involved demons, they would never let go of any life-saving straw. This world left them with no other choice.
As soon as the gate is opened, a notice is posted.
This courtyard became the only "demon-hunting government office" in Baiyun County, and Chen Ji and Zhang Dahu were arranged to go out to gather information, taking turns with the Niu brothers every three hours.
Shen Yi closed his eyes and dozed off, conserving his energy.
What was somewhat unexpected was that in just half a day, someone came in. The man was a thin middle-aged man with dark skin, and it was obvious that he did rough work.
He carefully poked his head in.
The faces of the Niu brothers in the courtyard changed instantly, and they all stood up straight. Even Niu Da, who had been grinning foolishly before, now had a bit of trepidation in his eyes.
Killing monsters, killing monsters, is just a matter of opening and closing your mouth. The problem is that they have been working in Baiyun County for so many years and have never really done this.
"Master Shen, I have some evil news."
The thin middle-aged man swallowed nervously, his eyes flickering, and under the guidance of the Niu brothers, he stepped into the house carefully.
"What kind of monster is that? Tell me quickly." Niu Er stared at it nervously.
"No, no...it's not a demon, it's an evil spirit." The thin middle-aged man waved his hands quickly.
Hearing this, Shen Yi slowly sat up straight.
After being here for several days, this was the first time he received any news about evil spirits, including from his previous life's memories.
"Don't worry, take your time."
Seeing Shen Yi's calm eyes, the middle-aged man calmed down a lot. Yesterday, he heard the oil seller's nonsense and thought that the other party was drunk. How could Mr. Shen be so gentle to him? After seeing him today, he actually believed it a little.
"I didn't see the evil spirit, it was my wife who saw it."
He tried to organize his words: "About a month ago, every time it gets dark, I take a shower in the yard, and my wife lights a candle in the room and combs her hair in front of the mirror."
"She was smiling while combing her hair, as if she was possessed."
"That's nothing."
The middle-aged man's face became uglier and uglier. "One night, I woke up because I had to pee. I reached out and found nothing. I went out to look for her. Guess what, she was standing at the door in a flowery dress, her hair was wet, and her neck was covered in sweat. I plucked up the courage to slap her, but when she saw it was me, she screamed like she had seen a ghost."
"She said she didn't know how she got up, she had no memory of it at all."
"And since that day, I haven't been in good spirits. No matter how early I go to bed, I always sleep until dawn. This must be an evil spirit possessing her body, sucking my yang energy, Lord Shen! My wife made me some medicinal soup, but it didn't work. The more I drank, the sleepier I felt."
Listening to the middle-aged man's vivid description, Shen Yi's expression gradually became strange.
"Besides, she doesn't have sex with me anymore. She just keeps smiling foolishly all day long. The more I look at her, the creepier she becomes."
"The most terrifying thing is that my business was not good yesterday, so I closed my stall early and went home. Then I heard her screaming in the house with her throat hoarse, "Spare me..." Have you ever heard the sound of a pig being slaughtered? It was that kind of..."
Seeing that he was about to reach middle age, he had to improvise a paragraph.
Shen Yi frowned slightly, glanced at the Niu brothers, and said helplessly: "You two go on night watch and help him deal with this evil spirit."
"I obey your orders."
The Niu brothers looked at the middle-aged man with sympathy and took him out.
Shen Yi leaned back in the rattan chair and gently pressed his brows.
It seems that it is not so easy to find a bargain in the city.
Originally, when the monsters entered Baiyun County, they were accompanied by their predecessors. Now that the group of dog monsters have been killed, the news must have spread among the monsters, and it will be difficult to catch fish or something.
Just then, a figure rushed in.
Chen Ji stood there breathlessly, his expression solemn. Even though he lowered his voice deliberately, he could not hide the shock in his heart.
"Master Shen, Liu Qi is dead."
Hearing this, Shen Yi looked up.
If I remember correctly, the other party mentioned this name once.
The stone incision maker Liu Qi.
He was a sacrifice invited by the Lin family from Qingzhou.
It was the Lin family where Lin Baiwei belonged.
