Chapter 221 The Monster Hunting Diary (VIII)
Fu Yao was a little scared facing such a shopkeeper, and leaned against Luo Zhi, subconsciously pulling her hand.
Luo Zhi held his hand and smiled at him comfortingly.
Luo Zhi turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Thank you, put it down, your food is delicious."
The owner of the store smiled, with a flash of loneliness in his expression: "You're welcome, it's good, you can eat it."
"There is no good place in Tong'an Town. When you leave, just remember to take your things with you."
After he finished speaking, he took one last look at Fu Yao and left.
Fu Yao looked at the tofu in front of him, wanted to eat but dared not.
When he was in Buzhou Mountain, there were always people trying to trap him with delicious food, so he was very wary, especially when it came to delicious food.
Moreover, according to the inheritance memory, don't easily believe in the food handed over by humans. Some ancestors were poisoned to death by the food handed over by humans.
Luo Zhi touched his head: "It's okay, you can eat."
Fu Yao looked at Luo Zhi, picked up the chopsticks: "Then I'll eat."
Luo Zhi: "Well, let's eat."
She also handed over her share: "There's not enough to eat, and here's more."
Fu Yao shook his head: "You eat, this is delicious."
As he spoke, he looked at the owner's back again, hiding his little doubts in his heart.
He said: "The owner seems very nice."
Luo Zhi echoed him with a smile: "Well, he is indeed a nice person."
Fu Yao took a piece and handed it to Luo Zhi's mouth: "Take a bite."
Luo Zhi took it, and the tofu fell into her mouth.
This tofu is really delicious, very tasty, the perfect fusion of spicy and fragrant, and with the unique smoothness of tofu, it bursts on the taste buds all at once.
Fu Yao took another small piece of tofu and raised his hand again: "Take another bite."
Luo Zhi then took another bite, and looked at the little Fu Yao, and finally felt a little guilty in her heart: "You can eat it yourself, I will pinch it myself."
Fu Yao nodded: "Okay."
He didn't do anything else, he was eating the tofu in his bowl seriously.
While eating, Luo Zhi glanced in the direction of the store, and a slight doubt flashed in her heart.
"I'll take you to find someone later."
Luo Zhi: "Remember to follow me closely."
Fu Yao paused, then looked up at her: "Are you going to find the demon catcher?"
Luo Zhi: "Well, don't worry, it's fine." She just needs to confirm some things.
This Tong'an town did not appear in the book, yet it seemed so strange.
Fu Yao nodded, with a face of trust: "Okay." Seeing that Luo Zhi sold him, he counted the money for Luo Zhi.
Luo Zhi paid the store and left with Fu Yao.
The storekeeper stood in place, looking at Fu Yao's small back, tears flashed in his eyes, but when Luo Zhi turned his head, he turned into a silent and lonely back again.
Luo Zhi's eyes swept across him, and then looked away, a faint doubt flashed in her heart, she stopped thinking about it, and began to read the law to recruit people.
Luo Zhi took Fu Yao to the front of a lake.
The girl in red was sitting by the lake, staring at the water in a daze.
Huali saw the reflection in the water, didn't look back, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Luo Zhi sat next to her: "Why did you stay in Tong'an Town?"
Huali twitched the corners of her mouth: "I've lived here since I was a child. If I don't stay here, where would I live? The Monster Hunting Alliance...is not where I live at all."
She turned her head away: "My father has already had a new family, and I'm just a daughter born to an ex-wife who doesn't like him."
Luo Zhi paused.
Before she said anything, Huali continued: "You don't have to sympathize with me. I have nothing to sympathize with. I don't hate him either. I only hate demons. It was demons that destroyed my family. As long as that man is still killing demons, I take him as my father."
Fu Yao pursed her lips and looked up at Luo Zhi, feeling a little unhappy.
There are bad monsters, but there are also bad people among humans.
He never hurt any human, why hate him.
Why did Luo Zhi listen to her?
Luo Zhi touched Fu Yao's head and handed him a candied haws: "Eat it."
Fu Yao took it, and was soothed like this, her mood improved a lot, but she still didn't like Huali very much, looked at her warily from time to time, and held Luo Zhi tightly with one hand.
This was already the third lake that Luo Zhi had seen in Tong'an Town. Luo Zhi looked at the dark bottom of the lake.
Huali: "There is nothing to eat in the lake. If you want to eat fish, you should go to the town to buy it."
Luo Zhi: "There seem to be many lakes in Tong'an Town."
Huali: "Well, I had these lakes when I was a child. There are quite a lot of lakes in Tong'an Town, but they are useless. People basically don't like to get close to these lakes."
Luo Zhi stretched out her hand to touch the lake water, but was suddenly interrupted by Huali: "Don't touch it!" The voice was so loud that it raised eyebrows.
Luo Zhi looked at Huali in surprise.
Huali forced a smile and explained: "The lake is very dirty, it's best not to touch it."
Luo Zhi: "I don't mind."
"That won't work!" Huali said, "You don't know, this place is full of animal carcasses and it's so dirty. You'd better stay away. I didn't come here before, so I don't know what's wrong with me today."
Luo Zhi looked at the clear lake water: "But it looks very clean."
Huali forced a smile: "But there are indeed a lot of animal corpses buried inside, don't touch them, it's easy to get sick."
Her eyes fell on Fu Yao, and she smiled: "And you have children with you, right? Children are most likely to get sick when they touch these dirty things. If they get sick, Tong'an Town will not be able to handle it without a doctor."
Would a town be without a doctor?
Luo Zhi thought that all the people who came to Tong'an Town, except Huali, looked bad and looked as if they were sick.
Luo Zhixiang seemed to think about it, and said, "That's right."
Seeing that she seemed to have finally given up, Huali breathed a sigh of relief.
Huali stood up: "Then let's go. If you stay here for a long time, you will easily have nightmares and get sick."
Luo Zhi: "I see the innkeeper's complexion is also very bad, is it because of illness?"
Huali's expression froze, and then she said: "Yes, most people in Tong'an Town have contracted diseases because of these lakes, so I asked you not to stay too long."
"When you stay in the hotel, it's best not to get too close to that lake."
She couldn't wait to step forward: "Let's go, it's a little uncomfortable to stay here for a while."
Her words were contradictory and full of doubts.
But Luo Zhi took one last look at the calm lake, followed Huali, and didn't ask any more questions.
Huali: "Leave as soon as possible, it's not good if you get sick and affect your schooling."
Luo Zhi nodded, unable to tell whether she listened or not, Huali wanted to say a few more words, but thinking of Luo Zhi's words today, she felt suspicious.
Huali gritted her teeth and left without saying any more.
Today she lost her sense of proportion.
Fu Yao hated Huali, and she was willing to speak only when she saw her gone.
"Let's not go to her next time, shall we?"
