Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 242: Mengda River
The crescent moon hangs high.
The night wind is cold and cool.
Lu Tong sat at the break, drinking alone.
Dian Si'er left, and the hall suddenly became empty.
Both Ming Ming Dian and Dian Lao were there, and they would run around like a cat chasing a mouse from time to time.
But it didn’t feel lively at all, only noisy.
Until this moment, he realized that he had been accustomed to Dian Si'er being by his side.
When someone leaves, it’s like losing a piece of their soul.
"Hey!"
He sighed, unable to bear the loneliness, and walked back and forth in the hall.
"Boss?"
Erhu's voice came from outside.
Lu Tong was instantly refreshed and strode out: "Here? Come on, let's have a drink together."
"Boss, Lao Wu is back. He is outside the formation. Do you want to call in?"
"Scream, the more people, the better."
Erhu was a little confused. He opened the formation and brought in a middle-aged man with a round face and a snub nose.
"Qipeng, I've seen the leader!"
He waved his hand and said: "Come in!"
At the table.
A plate of dried meat and three jars of wine.
Lu Tong took a big sip from the jar and finally felt better.
"Qipeng, just returned from Yunying City?"
"Go back and get it, I just came back."
Qi Peng put down his wine bowl and stood up to reply.
"Sit down!"
Er Hu also said: "Lao Wu, the leader doesn't care about that. He just says what he needs to say and drinks when he needs to drink."
He took the wine bowl.
Erhu immediately picked up the wine jar and poured the wine.
Lu Tongtong: "Tell me, find out what happened."
"Leader, Meng Dahe is a good person."
"Huh?"
He glanced at Qipeng and said, "Have you seen Meng Dahe?"
"No."
"You know he is a good person even if you have never met him?"
Qi Peng smelled the aroma of the wine, swallowed his throat, and said: "I asked dozens of people, and everyone praised him. If this kind of person is not a good person, there will be no good people in the world."
Lu Tong was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible, who are you asking?"
He also stayed in Yunying City and had never heard of Meng Dahe's good reputation.
"Ask the guy at the grain store."
"Haha."
Lu Tong smiled and said: "Of course my friend said that the master is a good person. Ask Erhu, am I a good person?"
Erhu also smiled while holding a bowl of wine.
Qi Peng shook his head and continued: "I also asked people in the neighborhood. Most of them are women, some are older and some are young."
He put away his smile, looked a little more serious, and said, "What's going on? What kind of good deeds has Meng Dahe done?"
"Selling food. Ever since the Dahe Chamber of Commerce started selling food, the price of food in Yunying City has been cheaper than in other cities."
Lu Tong lowered his head and began to remember.
I had never cared about it before, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that Yunying City is indeed the cheapest place I have ever visited.
Qi Peng took the opportunity to take a sip of wine and continued: "There was also fog in Yunying City back then, and the commercial roads outside were cut off. Not only did the price of food not rise, but porridge was given out for free."
He raised his eyebrows.
This is the first time I heard about this.
I was on Qianxue Mountain at that time, and I didn’t know the situation in the city, but it was true that the trade routes were cut off.
"Why give porridge?"
“I heard an old lady say that Meng Dahe started from scratch. She was a hungry person before, and she didn’t want anyone to go hungry again.”
“Made from scratch? Really or fake?”
"Really, I made special inquiries and even went to the west of the city to find Meng Dahe's former neighbors. After Meng Dahe became rich, he rebuilt the entire street."
Lu Tong frowned, feeling something was wrong.
The Dahe Chamber of Commerce can be so big and involves so many interests that it cannot belong to just Meng Dahe.
A person can do good deeds without making money.
But in a group of people, it is impossible for everyone to be kind.
"Who is the backer of Meng Dahe?"
"What?"
"Dahe Chamber of Commerce must have a big backer behind it."
"I don't know. Leader, I can only contact the people below. Only the people above know this kind of news."
He picked up the wine bowl, took a sip and said, "Where are the people from Canxiang Tower? Didn't they help you?"
"No."
Qipeng thought about it for a moment and said carefully: "The people from Canxiang Tower have never appeared again after receiving the letter."
Lu Tong smiled and shook his head, putting down the wine bowl.
"Forget it. Have you found anyone?"
"Looking for it. I carried a load and walked through the streets and alleys selling mountain goods for several days. I almost visited every shop, but I never met anyone in the village."
When he heard about carrying a load, he suddenly thought of bird feathers and couldn't help but pause.
In the beginning, Niao Feo also pretended to be a travel businessman, walking around the streets looking for opportunities to take action.
"Leader, what I said is true."
Lu Tong came back to his senses, blinked and asked, "How do you know? Maybe they just follow the local customs."
"I can tell that the people in the village are used to walking on mountain roads, and the outside is different when walking. Also, I hawked in the mountain dialect, but no one paid attention."
He nodded, feeling even more confused.
Meng Dahe is a good person.
The person who was taken away disappeared.
Lu Tong thought of the hoof again.
In the eyes of outsiders, Hoo Zi was also a good person, but secretly he killed people and practiced evil.
So much alike.
A good reputation makes it easier to do bad things.
In other words, some people make great efforts to gain a good reputation just to do bad things.
The three of them were talking and drinking.
Drinking until midnight, Qipeng was so drunk that he muttered: "Meng Dahe, a good man..."
Erhu threw Qipeng out to sober up, returned to the main hall and said: "Boss, the baby is born."
He drank a lot, looked a little drunk and said, "When?"
"Just today, when the sun sets. ~IndoMTL.com~ The mountain wind was so strong just now that I didn't dare to carry him out."
"After two days, when your breathing has stabilized, come give me a hug."
Lu Tong sat for a few breaths and suddenly asked: "What does it look like? Does it have tiger hair?"
"No."
He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "No good, no good."
It would be a bit ugly for a girl to have tiger hair all over her body.
Erhu smiled bitterly and said: "It's a pity that the teeth are bad."
"Tiger fangs?"
"Well, it's full of it."
Lu Tong leaned on the chair, waved his hands and said, "It's okay. The teeth are in the mouth and can't be seen from the outside. Si'er's teeth are also black hooks."
Erhu's bitter smile became even thicker, and he said helplessly: "Boss, the baby's teeth are too big, they are dense, and some of them are exposed."
He fell silent.
I can’t help but have a headache when I think that my second apprentice is a grinning little girl.
……
The formation was triggered.
Lu Tong was awakened, opened his eyes, and felt dizzy for a while. After regaining consciousness, he walked to the table and poured a cup of tea.
Herbal tea.
Looking at the dark brown tea, he couldn't help but think of Dian Si'er.
"Hey!"
After finishing her herbal tea in one gulp, she walked outside.
"Senior Sister Tu, please!"
The two sat down separately.
Tu Kunshun asked directly: "Junior brother hasn't come back yet?"
"Back."
Tu Kunshun's expression perked up and he asked: "How is it? Where are the people?"
He shook his head unhurriedly and said: "Not found."
"What did Meng Dahe say?"
Lu Tongtong: "I didn't say it. Senior sister, Meng Dahe is not an ordinary person. He doesn't want to say it, and I can't offend him."
After that, wait quietly.
Tu Kunshun lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said seriously: "Junior brother, have you heard of the tears of the goddess?"
"What?"
"A rare spiritual liquid."
