Before he could finish speaking, a girl who looked no more than 12.3 years old came running over.
This little girl seems to have not yet grown up, and is not as beautiful as the older girls around her.
However, the little girl's big eyes and dimples when she smile are still very cute.
She opened her big eyes, with a look of disbelief on her face, and grabbed Song Yu's face.
"Sister, your leather is really good, the painting is good, and the quality of the leather is good. Did the city lord paint it for you? The leather painted by the city lord is the best leather in the city."
"Hey, why didn't she give you black eyes? Everyone must wear black eyes during the Ghost Festival in Tancheng. Mom said that the Ghost Festival is the day when our painted-skinned monsters crawl out of the ground, so we need to dress up like Damn it, look at these two brothers around you who are dressing up very well."
After hearing the word demon, the expressions of the three of them instantly changed.
Seeing that the girl had no ill intentions, Song Yu calmed down her mood. She smiled and said to the girl, "Maybe the city lord has forgotten. How about you take me to the city lord's place?"
The little girl shook her head like a rattle. I don't know where the city lord lives. "I only know that she is the most beautiful woman in Tanzhou. Just look for the most beautiful one among the crowd."
Hearing what the little girl said, Song Qi couldn't help but complain, "How is it possible to find the most beautiful one among the beauties?"
Song Yu was also a little confused. There was no unified standard for beauty and ugliness, so how could he find out.
At this time, Li Yuanheng whispered in Song Yu's ear, "I heard that those born by painted-skin demons are actually not good-looking. It's just that they are very good at painting skin, so everyone can be as beautiful as a fairy after having their skin painted."
"Maybe we have to look for them through their painting."
When Li Yuanheng finished speaking, the little girl in front of him suddenly stared at them and made a "giggling, gurgling, gurgling, weird laugh."
Her smile made the people in front of them feel horrified, and they immediately stepped back several meters.
She said, "Young man knows a lot, so do you want to see what kind of ugly face I have hidden under my skin?"
As she spoke, she moved closer. Her big eyes, which I thought were cute just now, were now pitch black, and her appearance changed every time she took a step. It was terrifying.
She kept giggling and giggling. After hearing the sound, the people around her began to stop their actions and gathered around her. Their mouths smiled in weird arcs, imitating this little girl. The faces also started to giggle, and their faces flashed, beautiful for a while, ugly for a while.
At this time, Song Qi was so frightened that his legs could hardly stand, but he still pretended to be calm and protected Song Yu behind him. He did not forget to comfort Song Yu and said, "Yu'er, don't be afraid, my brother will protect you."
Prince Ning stood behind Song Yu and placed Song Yu between Song Qi and him.
Song Yu also put his hand on the scabbard at this time, ready to draw the sword at any time.
They are all ready to stand ready, and as long as the people around them come closer, they will draw their swords and start fighting.
At this time, a cheerful male voice came over, "Feng'er, stop making trouble."
"If we continue to make trouble, these kids will draw their swords."
After hearing this voice, the little girl called Feng'er ran to the man's side and hugged his waist tightly.
Her face returned to its cute look just now.
She blinked her innocent big eyes and said, "But they are human beings who broke in. Shouldn't we scare them unconscious and throw them out?"
The man smiled and touched the little girl's head. He said, "These children are extraordinary."
The little girl squinted her eyes and smiled, "I listen to my husband."
"Husband! This man is too much of a beast. How old is this little girl?"
Song Qi couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
The little girl seemed to have clairvoyance. She was a little unhappy when she heard what Song Qi said. She let go of the man's hand, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily, "Why do you say that my husband is a beast?" .”
"I have lived for more than 50,000 years, and my young husband is only over 150 years old now. If you insist on doing the math, I should be the beast."
Everyone around laughed and said,
"Yes, yes, Johto has lived for many, many years."
"His little husband is only so big."
"That's right, the city lord is a beast, cluck, cluck, cluck."
The woman who was called the city lord raised her lips slightly, and her big eyes looked a little charming at this time. She glanced at them, and then her eyes fell on Song Yu, "Say, girl, come to Tan." What does the city do?”
She mustered up the courage to ask, "Lord City Lord, we have something to ask you."
The man next to the city lord smiled and said to her, it's getting late, you can go to our house to talk.
Then the people around them dispersed, making way for the city lord and the others, and they kept walking towards that road. It was night at this time. A little further from the city center, the road in front of you was darker and quieter. Only occasionally a few birds hid in the dark trees and screamed from time to time, filling the air. With a strange aura.
After walking for a while, we arrived at a huge wooden house with several large characters hanging on it, "City Lord's Mansion"
From the outside, the house looked like an ordinary person's residence, but when they entered, they discovered that there was something special about it.
When he first entered, he saw many large basins soaked with some fabrics. Song Yu went up to take a look. There was a huge difference between this material and the fabrics commonly used in the world. This fabric was several times thinner than the thinnest silk in the world. Very soft and visibly soft.
Further inside, there are painted faces, with noses, eyes and mouths, but they are placed in a glass basin filled with water, and it is hard to tell whether they are lying flat or not.
But in this dark night, it seemed particularly scary.
Song Qi was frightened as soon as he entered the room, and he shouted loudly.
The city lord explained briefly, "Don't worry, this is not human skin, it was transformed by my own power."
Hearing what she said, Song Qi felt relieved, and when he looked carefully, it no longer felt so scary. He was a little curious and couldn't help but wanted to pick up the leather and take a look.
But before he reached his hand into the basin, the city lord who was walking in front said, "If I destroy the skin I have worked so hard to draw, I will tear off your skin and soak it in it." .”
Song Qi was so frightened that he suddenly withdrew his hand and stared at the small figure in front of him. He couldn't help but wonder, did this girl also have two eyes on her back?
Seeing Song Qi's puzzled look, Li Yuanheng explained to him, "My master once said that the city lord of Tanzhou is the one with the strongest magic power among the skin-painting demons. She is not only good at painting, but also can Accepts all information within a ten-meter radius of her, including sounds and images. On the contrary, she can also transmit information to people around her."
The city lord who was walking in front paused for a moment, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.
