The sky is getting brighter.
A red sun jumped out of Dongyue, shining all over the mountains and rivers, and also illuminated the Demon Slayer Su family in Taiping Town.
West courtyard.
Jiazi Piggyuan.
"In life, I am the slave of the Su family, and in death, I am the soul of the Su family!"
"I am a brick of the Su family. I can move it wherever it is needed!"
"I am a nail in the Su family. I am a nail wherever you need me!"
Huang An stood on the five-foot pig-killing platform, raised his right fist high above his head, shouted loudly, and organized the morning meeting.
In the courtyard below the stage,
A group of old and young pigherders shouted, but they were all listless and weak. Even when they saw Li Ye walking out of the curator's lounge, they didn't have much energy.
Li Ye sighed in his heart when he saw this.
The enemy invaded the Su family time and time again, but the Su family did not make a strong counterattack. Instead, the enemy attacked their noses and faces, causing the Su family's prestige to diminish day by day and people to lose heart.
The Su family, the powerful leader of Taiping Town for many years, seems to have begun to decline.
Huang An invited Li Ye to speak on stage. Li Ye gave a few words of encouragement and then dismissed the meeting, instructing the pigherders to perform their duties and continue their duties.
He wore a large swineherd's robe that covered his muscular body.
However, Huang An still noticed the change in Li Ye. After the morning meeting, he stared at Li Ye with a pair of shining eyes. Without blinking, he followed Li Ye's butt, looking at Li Ye up and down like a follower.
"Am I good-looking?! Why don't you go feed the pigs!" Li Ye glared.
Huang An scratched his head and smiled naively: "Boss, you know, there will always be only two people in my heart, one is you, and the other is you."
"So, I can see any change in you."
As he spoke, he leaned closer to Li Ye and whispered, "Today's butler has more temperament and sense than yesterday!"
Li Ye glanced at him: "You have become more and more coquettish recently. It's time to marry you a wife."
Huang An: "..."
He blinked and was stunned for a moment.
"I'm going to feed the pigs!" He turned away, then suddenly turned around and said, "A total of twenty-eight pigs died last night, and six boars that were about to be slaughtered disappeared mysteriously. Do you want to report it truthfully?"
Li Ye said: "Report it truthfully!"
Huang An: "Understood. Our Jiazi Pig Farm was attacked by the enemy last night and suffered heavy casualties. A total of thirty-five pigs were lost!"
After saying that, seeing Li Ye's expression as usual, he immediately beamed.
Today I can add another meal and turn on a small stove. It tastes so delicious!
Li Ye inspected the pig pen as usual.
The little pigherders were not in a high mood, but they were still performing their duties, shoveling pig pens, pulling pig manure, and adding pig food. They were all sweating profusely.
VIP separate pig pen,
Han Li was holding the little sow Beibei in his arms while breastfeeding. He imitated the sow's "humming" sound in his mouth. He was twisting the little sow's buttocks and eating extremely happily. Han Li's face was full of joy. smile.
Seeing such a scene of "harmony between humans and pigs", Li Ye could not help but nod with satisfaction, and decided that this month's "Little Pig Raising Expert" banner would be awarded to Han Li, the little pigger.
The pig house at the back.
A few old pigherders were slacking off.
They gathered together in twos and threes, whispering and sighing sadly, saying that the Su family had been attacked frequently by enemies this month. Is there something wrong? The pig farm had lost a lot of pigs. They were worried that their monthly salary might be reduced, and they were worried that they would If you are laid off, why don't you give some gifts to the shepherd, and prepare a few things in advance...
Li Ye coughed and came over to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, telling them that the Su family was still strong, but now they were just showing weakness to their enemies, and were fishing for big fish in the long run. As long as the time was right, they would catch all their enemies in one fell swoop.
He has great authority and a powerful voice.
A group of pigherders were shocked when they heard this, and their restlessness was soothed. They turned around and actively fed the pigs and picked up pig manure.
"Lies will eventually be exposed, only muscles and strength are eternal!"
Li Ye rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arms. The muscles on his arms were as big as a horned dragon's knots and as hard as marble.
On Hong's bulging bicep, there is a black devil tattoo, which is hideous and terrifying.
Look at the appearance.
It was Zhiqiang.
This is the function of the devil's path fruit. After enchanting a creature to become a devil, it can be collected and carried as a devil tattoo at any time, which is very convenient.
After becoming a demon tattoo, he can also suppress his sudden surge of energy and blood, making it impossible for outsiders to detect it.
After arranging everything in the pig yard, Li Ye quietly left the Su Mansion.
The sky was overcast.
It's raining.
Taiping Town in the rain was obviously more depressed and depressed than yesterday.
The bustling morning market is no more.
There are also a lot less business burdens and pushcart stalls. Most of the shops on both sides of the street have hung up "Closed" signs, and garbage is flying on the street.
Several government officials patrolled the streets cursing, but they only paid attention to the women coming and going, making comments and occasionally letting out a few obscene laughs.
A few stray dogs were chasing each other under the eaves on both sides of the street. They were soon blocked in the alley by a group of beggars, skinned and turned into roasted meat on the fire grill.
In the high attics, teahouses, and inns, figures of demon slayers are appearing and disappearing one after another.
They were majestic and indifferent, carrying swords on their backs, scanning all directions with their sharp eyes, sometimes lowering their heads to discuss something, and most of their sights were in the direction of the Su family mansion.
"Does the Su family really have a divine plan?"
"Yes, but it was stolen last night. I heard that Hei Wuchang, the killer of Yama Palace, took half of it, and the other half went to the old cripple who told fortunes."
"Immortals, we, the Demonic Heaven Sect, are a step too late. We will send more manpower to find them before the immortal seeds are born..."
The slayer was murmuring.
Li Ye's ears and eyes became much sharper last night after he was full of energy and blood. He walked on the street and heard these sounds.
"Divine map? Immortal seed?"
He was surprised, no wonder so many demon slayers gathered in Taiping Town recently, it turned out that they came for these two things.
He didn't know much about divine maps and immortal seeds. He only knew that they were divine objects of heaven and earth that appeared after the cataclysm three years ago and had incredible power of creation.
I thought it was far away from me, but I didn't expect that an immortal seed would be born in Taiping Town.
And the Demon Slayer Su family even has a divine map hidden within them.
But according to the discussion of these demon slayers, the divine map has been stolen.
"The Su family must be so angry now." Li Ye sighed in his heart and hurriedly turned around the alley and came to a library.
"Zhang Ji Second-hand Bookstore"
A plaque with black characters on a red background hangs high, and the writing has become blurred due to the erosion of time. It can be seen that this bookstore has been open for many years. The stone bricks on the steps have been stepped on and have lost their edges, and the threshold is also broken. It is obvious that there has been frequent traffic. There are many guests.
But today,
It was raining and there were few calligraphers.
An old man whose blue robes were washed a little white was leaning on an old wooden chair, swinging his legs, and sat at the door of the store. He held a palm-sized Chilong teapot in his left hand and a colorful book in his right hand, reading with gusto.
There is a slight bulge between the legs and pants.
"Boss Zhang, morning!"
A voice suddenly sounded.
Old man Zhang was startled and almost dropped the Chilong teapot in his hand. He raised his head and looked at Li Ye in front of him, blew his beard and said with eyes wide open: "You kid, can you walk silently? I was so scared that I almost went to see Old Zhang." The ancestors of the family.”
As he spoke, he stood up hurriedly, and at the same time, he put the book in his hand in front of his pants without leaving a trace.
Li Ye pretended not to see him.
Old Man Zhang changed his face to a smile and asked, "What book do you want to buy today?"
In the past, Li Ye often came to his bookstore to buy books, and the two of them became familiar with each other from time to time.
Especially when he celebrated his eightieth birthday last time, Li Ye gave him ten high-quality pig whips as birthday gifts. The relationship between the two instantly warmed up a lot. After being drunk, he wanted to recognize Li Ye as his godson, but Li Ye refused.
Go into the bookstore.
He glanced around and saw that the densely packed bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books, a few of them were new and most of them were second-hand books, which looked a bit old.
There was a strange smell permeating the bookstore.
Li Ye's eyes swept over a bookshelf in the corner, and he could vaguely see bundles of old books there, which read "Vajrapani", "Flying on the Grass", "Iron Cloth Shirt", and "Bone-turning Cotton Palm" .....and various martial arts secrets.
It seems that no one has cared about it for a long time, and the writing is covered with a thick layer of dust.
There is a price tag hanging next to it: Packing and processing, one tael of silver per catty.
