Xu Shu quickly read through it,
"Okay, let's settle on these two people. Time is very tight. Let's split up. I'll deal with the mysterious monster in Suitang Town. You can go to Lantau County." At this point, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment.
"Lantau County seems to be outside the area under the jurisdiction of Chunshen Station." The area under the jurisdiction of Chunshen Station is not limited to Chunshen City. It corresponds to a vast area sandwiched by the Songmin River and Shanshui River systems.
Lantau County is located to the north of Shanshui River, more than 200 miles away from Chunshen. Qin Bing explained,
"This kind of accumulation is like a recruitment poster. It will be distributed to Chaofan stations everywhere, and anyone can pick it up. Now that you have divided it up, let's do it like this. I will take the train overnight to Lantau County. You need to be careful." After saying that, Qin Bing called Zhang Chang and took away all the information related to the Flying Corpse Eucalyptus.
Xu Shu then wanted to take away the relevant information about Suitang Town's mysterious demon eucalyptus and a set of imperial seal tokens, which he put in a large cowhide bag, ready to go back and study them in detail.
The two of them left Chunshen Station, where a three-wheeler had been waiting for them. Xu Shu drove Qin Bing directly to Chunshen Station in a tricycle. Qin Bing picked up the blue suitcase and joined the crowd without looking back.
The night wind was cold, Xu Shu lit a cigarette and stopped to smoke. Suddenly, Qin Bing turned around as he was joining the crowd. Seeing him stopping in place, he quickly turned around and joined the crowd gracefully.
When Xu Shu got home, it was already around three in the morning. He opened the suitcase Qin Bing gave him, and it was indeed filled with cigarettes.
"This is Teacher Qin's hatred for me." Xu Shu complained helplessly. He slowly picked out a cigarette box with a painting of a beauty, lit a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. The rich tobacco aroma quickly drove away his fatigue.
He dug out his file bag and began to read the mysterious demon carefully. Fifteen minutes later, he finished reading the story and couldn't explain how he felt.
The love is very simple, but the reason is very speechless. Suitang Town is located 80 miles west of Chunshen City, and only more than 20 miles away from Snake Mountain on the outskirts of the city. Minshui, a tributary of the Songmin River, bypasses Suitang Town.
While bringing water conservancy, it also helped Suitang Town become a dock town. In the early days, gangs from various places were fighting for territory, causing many deaths, and thus developed a tough local folk custom.
No matter what the folk customs are, with water conservancy and docks, the economy of the town is always good. But I don’t know since when, the folk customs in the town began to become gentle. There was no stealing or killing, and it was all gentle.
There was even a gang in Chunshen that drove its branch there, ready to show off its power, but the gang members lost the motivation to fight and kill soon after they arrived there.
At first, the folk customs in the town suddenly improved, and the local magistrate even boasted about his educational achievements in the newspaper.
But as time went by, local officials discovered that something was wrong. Not only did the residents of the small town stop fighting and making trouble, their enthusiasm for production was also rapidly reduced.
According to Xu Shu's understanding, it's just a matter of not being involved, as long as you earn enough to eat and drink. As a result, the town's economic indicators dropped rapidly.
Although, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not promote or demote officials solely based on economics. But Suitang Town is the largest financial and taxation center in Hong'an County.
The residents of the town stopped sailing, and the merchants who came to the town stopped sailing. Gradually, the passing ships were no longer willing to dock in Suitang Town, and the county's finances and taxes suffered an unprecedented blow.
The magistrate of Hong'an County couldn't hold it any longer and began to investigate. There was really something wrong with this investigation. The emotions and temperament of the town residents seem to be entangled by an invisible presence.
The magistrate of Hong'an County reported this as an extraordinary incident, and the superiors quickly dispatched extraordinary personnel to investigate.
Unfortunately, after searching again and again, there was no result. There was no harm or death, it was peaceful, and even the crux of the problem was unclear.
The matter was left undisturbed until three Hong'an County magistrates in the past seven years requested to be transferred. This caused shock to Chunshen's senior officials and asked Chunshen Station to conduct a careful investigation.
The Chunshen station plan cost a lot of money and took several years. Finally, I encountered the monster, but I only saw its back, and the monster disappeared.
Since then, the monster has never been seen again. This eucalyptus was shelved and became a worry for the Hong'an County Government Office and even the Chunshen City Government Office.
Therefore, the level of the mysterious demon in Suitang Town has also risen one after another, becoming the only level three incident without casualties.
After reading the file, Xu Shu poured out a stack of ink papers nailed together from the file bag. The contents on the paper were said to be reprints of the books that the monster had left at the scene, and were the only clues to the story.
Because the documents were distributed to extraordinary websites across the country, the originals were sealed and only reprints could be obtained. Xu Shu flipped through the printed copy, which contained some poems, all of which were modern poems popular among young students.
He also read some of them. Turning to the end, there are some articles that are particularly well written. And these modern poems, which are exceptionally well written, are marked on the back: they were originally written in handwriting, and they are suspected to have been written by a mysterious demon.
Half an hour later, Xu Shu closed the document, stood up and stretched. The night was already dark, and the breeze outside the window brought the fragrance of osmanthus. He simply opened the window wider, and suddenly thought that Jian Chi would visit again tomorrow night, and he would not be able to see him.
Xu Shu wrote a short message and placed it on the steps of the main room. Then he went back to his room, got on the bed, lay down with his clothes on, and fell asleep within a moment.
The drizzle and wind soaked the streets of Suitang, and the streets were filled with yellow phoenix leaves. Xu Shu had been in Suitang Town for two days.
In just two days, he fell in love with this paradise-like place. In the relatively bustling market, there were no cries or quarrels, and the pedestrians walking by were all quiet and gentle.
Pedestrians all had smiles on their faces and their steps were slow and slow, as if the fast-paced life outside the town suddenly pressed the slowdown button here.
There is excitement, but no hustle and bustle. There is prosperity, but not busyness. Except for the occasional frolicking of ignorant children, this place is perfect for Xu Shu, who likes to live in peace.
I like it, but Xu Shu's heart is getting more and more impetuous. In the past two days, he had searched all over Suitang Town, a small town, but could not find any trace of the mysterious demon at all.
"There is absolutely no mystery in the world without a reason. The mysterious monster must be doing something for Suitang Town to be in this state." Xu Shu found a tea stall near the water and sat down, drinking tea and thinking silently.
The bosses were a middle-aged couple, both of whom were kind-hearted and talkative. Seeing Xu Shu's face, they took the initiative to chat.
"There are no monsters causing trouble, let me tell you. It's just that the people in Suitang have become accustomed to the prosperity and have had enough of the noise, so everyone has become humble. You see, I am running a tea stall now. I used to kill people with a knife at the pier. "Yes." The boss pulled down the clothes on his shoulders to reveal the tattoo underneath.
"Although I earn less now, I feel comfortable. I work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Everyone is in harmony. Isn't that what life is like?" Xu Shu nodded with a smile.
"Having said that, you still have to work hard to save some money. Once you get sick or have a disaster, your good life will be ruined." The landlady who was adding firewood to the stove said cheerfully,
"Even if there is illness or disaster, what can the little money that the ordinary people have saved for decades help? Fortunately, God has blessed us. Suitang Town has had good weather and peace in these years. Jiang from Jishan Pharmacy in the town The boss is kind-hearted and often provides medical treatment and medicines to the people who cannot afford medical treatment. Our life is not bad, not as good as Chunshen, a big city, but it is considered to be the best in Hong'an County." Xu Shu agreed with a smile, He secretly made up his mind that even if the mysterious demon refused to accept the imperial decree, he would never kill him violently.
"I told you baby not to play around there, boss, hurry up, hurry up, a baby fell into the water," the landlady shouted, holding a piece of flaming wood in her hand.
The boss was just about to take off his clothes, but Xu Shu moved first. He grabbed a long pole for drying clothes, and jumped out to the other side. He was in mid-air, and the long pole was already extended, and he accurately penetrated the clothes from the back of the child who had fallen into the water.
With a snap, the child fell to the ground, and the long pole lifted the child out of the river. He shook the pole gently, and the child slipped into his arms.
Not long after, a panic-looking woman ran forward, thanked Xu Shu and took off her shoes.
The child was so excited that he broke away from Xu Shu's arms and ran wildly. Xu Shu smiled and returned to the tea stall. He was about to sit down when suddenly he looked northwest. He immediately stopped sitting down and handed over the tea money instead, preparing to leave.
The boss and his wife refused to accept the offer. After Xu Shu thanked him, he walked to a distance, flicked his hand, and a silver dollar accurately landed on the tea seat where he had been sitting.
Immediately, he quickened his pace and headed east, out of the market, and entered the large fields where wheat seeds had been cultivated.
It was nearly early winter, and the fields were desolate and desolate.
"Girl, you dropped your book." Xu Shu said loudly. Twenty meters in front of him, a woman in green turned her face. She had an ordinary face, gentle eyebrows, and a slim figure. She had a natural and tranquil temperament that was rare in the world.
The woman in green stared at the copy handed over by Xu Shu and shook her head slightly.
"You are mistaken, it is not my book."
"The grass is bearing its seeds, the wind is shaking its leaves, and it is very beautiful for us to stand silently." Xu Shucai finished reading a short poem, and suddenly, the woman in green disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, the scenery in Xu Shu's eyes was rapidly blurring. An active volcano erupted on the spot, and overwhelming magma poured towards him.
Xu Shu knew it must be an illusion, but his body and consciousness were filled with uncontrollable fear, and he couldn't help but run away.
What was even more frightening was that the hot magma seemed to surround him in an instant, and even his consciousness boiled and burned.
Xu Shu was about to activate the green ring when he was hit by the overwhelming lava. The next moment, the illusion disappeared.
A voice came into the sea of consciousness,
"I am here not to hurt anyone, not to harm anything. You are also a kind person, why bother pushing me. I advise you to go, don't look for trouble." Xu Shu looked around, but there was no sign of the woman in green.
