They specially found a small shabby house to stay in.
As people in the county left or fled, many houses were left vacant.
Although these houses are a bit dilapidated, they are still acceptable as a place to stay.
"It's still an hour or two before dark. Let's rest here first."
Although the Zhou family's mansion was also in Moyang County, it was located in the far west, some distance away from their inn. To be on the safe side, they set out early to explore the terrain outside the mansion.
Chu Chenyin found a chair, wiped it and prepared to sit down.
Just as I sat down, an old man suddenly jumped up.
The old man saw Chu Chenyin trembling with fear, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Fu Yanting strode over and pulled him up, "Who are you? What are you doing here?!"
The old man lowered his head and trembled as he said, "I came here to escape famine from a nearby village."
Fu Yanting frowned, "If you are here to escape the famine, what are you doing sneaking around here?!"
"Great hero, please spare my life, don't kill me!" The old man clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, looking a little confused.
Chu Chenyin softened his voice and asked him, "Old man, we won't kill you, don't be nervous."
The old man felt better after hearing this.
He opened his eyes slightly and saw Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting, sitting on the ground with dazed eyes, like deflated balls.
Chu Chenyin raised his head and glanced in the direction of Zhou Mansion and asked him, "Old man, how long have you lived here? Do you know the shopkeeper Zhou of this Zhou Mansion?"
The old man became even more excited when he heard the three words "Zhou Tianli! That's a beast!"
His hands were clenched into fists, his teeth were chattering, and his whole body was shaking.
Chu Chenyin realized something after hearing this, and continued to ask, "Old man, I heard that this shopkeeper Zhou is a kind man. Why do you say that?"
The old man was shaking more and more violently, "What good man?! He is worse than an animal! I fled here with my daughter and wanted to ask for a drink of water at his house. They took my daughter and told her to go in and get some water, but she never came out again."
As he spoke, his eyes were red with hatred, "I saw that my daughter had not come out for such a long time, so I sneaked into their Zhou Mansion, and in the end all I saw was my daughter's skeleton! This Zhou County Magistrate actually eats people!" This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
