I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster
Chapter 13 The Strange Idol
In the dark night, Wujiabao, where there are many torches, is particularly eye-catching.
When Qin Shaoyou and the others arrived at the gate of Wubao, the soldiers of Wujiabao were closing the gate of Wubao.
Seeing the arrival of Qin Shaoyou and his party, the Wujiabao soldiers who closed the door immediately became vigilant. They were divided into two teams.
A person who looked like a team leader asked loudly, "Who are you? What are you doing in Wujiabao?"
Everyone reined in the horse.
Under Qin Shaoyou's signal, Zhu Xiucai rode forward and responded loudly: "We are passing businessmen. Because it was getting late, we dare not sleep in the wild. We have heard of Wujiapu's good reputation for a long time, so we came here to borrow a night. I hope it will be convenient for you, brother."
He did not report the name of the demon town master.
This is also the habit of the night watchmen of the town demon division.
When going out to investigate cases, unless necessary, the night watchmen of the demon town will usually borrow other identities, such as businessmen, soldiers, police officers, etc., so as not to scare the snake and alert the ghosts and cult members.
After listening to Zhu Xiucai's words, the soldiers of Wujiabao didn't ask any more questions, so they put down their guard and waved: "A guest? Then go in, hurry up. It's getting dark, we have to hurry close the door."
"Thank you, brother." Zhu Xiucai cupped his hands in thanks, and looked back at Qin Shaoyou, who nodded and ordered: "Come in!"
Just like this, a group of people rode their horses and crossed the gate of Wubao and the Wu family soldiers.
The simplicity of the process surprised Qin Shaoyou.
The soldiers of the Wu family didn't even verify their identities, did they check their luggage? Put people into Wubao so easily?
Are they not afraid that among the people who come to stay overnight, there are people with malicious intentions, which will be detrimental to Wujiabao?
This doubt did not bother Qin Shaoyou for too long, after entering Wubao, he found the answer.
It turned out that the place Wujiabao provides for outsiders to rest is a place similar to a small urn.
In the middle is an open space with several pergolas, surrounded by earth walls and watchtowers several meters high, surrounding the open space.
There are clan soldiers on duty at night on the earthen wall, and there are archers in the watchtower.
The pergola above the open space can barely shelter from the wind and rain, but it can't stop the bows and arrows from the heights.
Therefore, even if there are really bad guys sneaking in, seeing such a scene, you can only suppress the evil thoughts in your heart and dare not act rashly.
After looking around for a while, Qin Shaoyou commented: "It's no wonder that Wujiabao dared to accommodate caravans and travelers overnight. It really has some strength and confidence."
"Yes." Zhu Xiucai nodded in agreement, and then said with emotion: "Wujiabao was just a small and barren village more than ten years ago, but now it has developed no worse than a powerful family. It is simply remarkable."
"Is there such a thing?" Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised.
He already has some understanding of this world, and he knows how difficult it is for a small poor family to grow, let alone grow to this size in just a dozen years.
"That's true." Wei Lishi took up the conversation, "Ten years ago, Wujiabao was still Wujia Village, and they changed a new patriarch, and it was this new patriarch who led Wujia Village into what it is now..."
"This man is really amazing."
After listening to Zhu Xiucai and Wei Lishi's narration, Qin Shaoyou became interested in the patriarch of Wujiabao.
If it is in a novel, the patriarch is definitely a template for the protagonist. Either he has opened the 'family revitalization system', or he has got other cheats.
They came too late, and the pergola on the open space had already been occupied by caravans and travelers who had arrived before. They could only find a corner sheltered from the wind and planned to make do with it for the night.
Anyway, looking at the night tonight, it doesn't look like it will rain, and it doesn't matter if the sky is on the ground.
After getting off the horse, Zhu Xiucai and others divided into two groups.
A wave took out the brown blanket and spread it on the ground to prepare for the place to sleep at night.
The first wave is to take out fodder to feed the horses.
Qin Shaoyou did not participate in these chores, his attention was attracted by the statues in the center of the open space.
These statues stood next to the arbor, and some caravan members and travelers staying here still surrounded them, knelt down, offered incense, and prayed devoutly.
Qin Shaoyou walked over and looked it over carefully, but he didn't recognize the identities of these statues, but thought they were all kind-hearted.
He was also a little puzzled: Why did the people of Wujiabao erect the statue here?
Is it to use the idols to warn the caravans and travelers staying overnight not to mess around?
Or do you expect these statues to provide protection for everyone?
Just when Qin Shaoyou was curiously guessing, an uncle in front of him knelt down and prayed for blessings, got up from the ground, bowed three times to the god statue, and made some wishes such as 'to get rich and concubine in good health' in his mouth, and then turned around , ready to return to their own caravan.
Qin Shaoyou stopped him, and after a few polite words, he inquired, "Uncle, what kind of god are you worshiping?"
Unexpectedly, the uncle shook his head: "I don't know either."
"I don't know if you still pray?"
"Hey, it doesn't matter what gods they are, it's always right to worship them. As the saying goes, it's not surprising that many people are polite, so it should be the same for gods. Besides, if you pray more, you can get more blessings."
As the uncle said, he enthusiastically gave Qin Shaoyou three sticks of incense and asked him to pay his respects too.
"If it doesn't work, it's at most three kowtows for nothing, but if it works, then it's a profit. There's nothing wrong with this deal."
Seeing that the uncle regarded worshiping gods as a business, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but laugh.
As expected of a businessman.
"Forget it, you can't worship gods indiscriminately. If you offend the evil gods, let alone get rich and concubines to get better health, your life will have to be involved."
Qin Shaoyou politely declined the other party's kindness and did not go to worship these gods.
After hearing his words, the uncle's face changed for a while, and finally he ran to take back the three sticks of incense sticks he had inserted, and muttered, "We're done with this business, I'll take back the incense sticks, and you can leave me alone."
This operation stunned Qin Shaoyou.
After watching for a while beside the statue, Qin Shaoyou turned and walked towards the corner where they were.
Just as he turned around, the eyeballs of one of the statues suddenly moved quietly.
It stared straight at Qin Shaoyou!
From the eyeballs of the stone sculpture, there were two cold and strange gazes.
It's like sizing up delicious prey.
Qin Shaoyou's hairs exploded in an instant, he turned around quickly, and put his hand on the handle of the knife, but he didn't find anything.
The eyeballs of the idol had already returned to their original shape.
The people kneeling and praying did not see its abnormality just now.
Nothing seems to have happened, just an illusion.
But Qin Shaoyou didn't think so.
He quickly returned to the team, stopped his subordinates, and ordered in a low voice: "Everyone, be careful, there is something wrong with this place."
All the wrestlers were startled, and immediately looked around vigilantly.
Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma looked at each other, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, did you find anything?"
"Beside those god statues just now, I suddenly felt danger, and the blood in my body was also stimulated."
Hearing what Qin Shaoyou said, Zhu Xiucai raised his brows, and cast a scrutinizing gaze at the statue calmly.
"Is there something wrong with those statues?"
"I'm not sure." Qin Shaoyou shook his head. "The sense of danger came suddenly and disappeared quickly. Before and after the incident, I didn't find any problems with those statues."
"Shall I go and have a look?" Zhu Xiucai volunteered.
"Be careful." Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement.
When Zhu Xiucai went to inspect the statue, Monk Ma made a suggestion: "Sir, why don't we spend the night in another place?"
"It's too late." Qin Shaoyou looked up at the sky.
There is no moon or stars tonight, and the sky is pitch black with no light to be seen.
"It's already completely dark, and the danger outside will only be greater than here.
Moreover, the gate of Wujiabao is also closed. Unless we identify ourselves, they will not open the gate.
Besides, does any of you know of any other places to spend the night around here? "
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads together.
"So it's impossible to change places, I can only stay here for one night."
