Sure enough, Li Zhuang lied to him.

The day when Lu Ren hunted the wolf demon in Shanyang County was a full moon night.

He came to Shanyin County the next day.

If what Li Zhuang said was true, then today should be the 16th day of the lunar calendar.

As the old saying goes, the moon on the 15th is full on the 16th.

But the moon hanging in the sky has nothing to do with the word"round" no matter how you look at it.

Judging from the degree of the moon's defect, today is probably around the 20th day of the lunar calendar.

In other words, he was indeed trapped in the mirror world for five or six days.

Li Zhuang's family's words cannot be believed.

To be precise, everyone in the city may be deceiving him.

What should he do now?

Leave the city, or go directly to Wang Min?

If he chooses to leave the city, Lu Ren doesn't know if he will be trapped in the mirror world like before.

After weighing it for a long time, he finally made up his mind.

Instead of being timid, it is better to take the initiative.

On the way to the county government office, two men had a dispute for some unknown reason, and many onlookers gathered around.

Lu Ren had no intention of joining in the fun until he heard people in the crowd making a fuss, shouting things like"Kill him" and"Kill him".

If it was just one or two people, it would be fine, after all, there are always evil people in this world who are vicious and like to watch the fun.

But the problem is that this is the common voice of most people.

Lu Ren felt strange, so he turned around and walked into the crowd to find out what was going on.

The two parties in the dispute were a strong young man and a short and fat middle-aged man.

As for the reason for their dispute, it was even more incredible.

It seemed that the two people had a slight contact while walking, not even a collision.

In general, in this situation, most people would choose to ignore it, at most they would look at each other, and would never make such a big fuss.

And it seems that the two people have the same bad temper, and neither of them is willing to give in.

Two people with bad tempers happened to meet and rubbed against each other, which can still be explained by coincidence.

But why are the reactions of the people around them so cold and heartless?

Not only did no one come forward to dissuade them, but they all fanned the flames, hoping to escalate the situation so that they could have more fun.

Lu Ren stood in the middle of the crowd, observing their words and actions.

"What are you still standing there for? Kill him!"

"You fat pig, why are you so cowardly? Just kill this guy."

"Why hasn’t it started yet? I’m still waiting to go back and pay my taxes!"...........

The crowd of onlookers did not have a clear tendency to stand in a certain line.

They did not want to be fair to anyone, they just wanted to watch the fun.

Looking at the indifferent or sarcastic expressions on these people's faces, Lu Ren could not help but frown.

These people did not look like puppets controlled by the poisonous insects, but why did they show such a cold-blooded side?

Suddenly, a scream sounded on the street.

Lu Ren's sight passed through the crowd and fell on the short and fat middle-aged man in the center.

This person took out a dagger from somewhere, and took advantage of the moment when the strong young man was not prepared, and used both hands to stab the dagger accurately into the chest of the other party.

In an instant, blood gushed out and splashed the short and fat middle-aged man's face.

Before the strong young man died, he pointed his finger at the short and fat middle-aged man with resentment, and his lips moved weakly for a few times, but he fell into a pool of blood without making any sound.

However, no one in the crowd of onlookers, including the short and fat middle-aged man who killed the murderer, screamed in panic and fear.

They just stared at the corpse quietly, with a meaningful smile on their faces, as if some desire deep in their hearts had been released and satisfied.

Then, amid a burst of cheers, the crowd gradually dispersed, and this farce without any signs ended.

The corpse was lying in the middle of the street, but the people passing by seemed to ignore it.

It seemed that in their eyes, the ground was just a piece of dead pork that no one wanted.

Some people stepped over the corpse and continued on their way, not feeling unhappy at all because their shoes or even trouser legs were stained with blood.

Lu Ren stood by the road and observed for a long time, and found that from beginning to end no one came forward to care whether the strong young man was dead or alive, and whether he could be saved.

There was no desire to save people, nor was there any fear, as if the death of a person was just an ordinary thing in their lives.

Finally, looking at the body that was trampled beyond recognition, Lu Ren shook his head and sighed, and went over to move the body to the stone steps on the side of the street for placement.

At this time, a hand patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Ren turned around and found that it was Li Yingzi

""Uncle Lu, what are you doing?"

The little girl asked with her hands behind her back.

Lu Ren glanced at the body at his feet and quickly turned around to block Li Yingzi's sight.

A child under ten years old, her mind was still very fragile, so it was better not to let her see such a miserable and bloody scene.

But Li Yingzi's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"Uncle Lu, are you going to perform an autopsy?"

""Huh?" Before Lu Ren could come to his senses, he saw Li Yingzi taking out a bloody dagger from behind.

His eyes widened immediately.

Wasn't this the dagger that the short and fat middle-aged man had used to kill someone just now?

"Where did you get it?"

"My dad gave it to me"

"Your father?" Lu Ren was extremely surprised and asked,"Why would your father give you such a thing?"

As a blacksmith, it was reasonable for Li Zhuang to give his daughter a dagger for self-defense.

But this dagger was covered with fresh blood that had not yet completely dried. Why would Li Zhuang give this to her?

"Wait a minute, where did your father find this dagger?"

Could it be that the short and fat middle-aged man threw it on the road after committing a crime, and Li Zhuang happened to pick it up?

Li Yingzi grinned and said with a smile:"My father met a fat uncle just now. My father thought that man was too ugly and was an eyesore, so he........."

"So what?" Lu Ren asked solemnly,"beat him up?"

Li Yingzi smiled harmlessly,"So my father killed him. We can have an extra meal tomorrow. Uncle Lu, remember to come to our house on time for dinner. If you are late,........My parents will be very angry."
