Chapter 472 Big Demon 2: There’s Something in the Dish
Shen Hanqing responded, of course he had to go out for a walk, otherwise how could he advance the plot?
So the group went out.
Ye Lingyao also followed, and Yu Feng's fox also followed from a distance.
Yu Shenghan looked back at the fox and asked Shen Hanqing, "Senior Sister, that fox..."
Shen Hanqing said without even turning back: "Don't worry about it."
The streets were a bit deserted, and the vendors looked a bit listless.
When the people in the town saw them, they seemed to avoid them intentionally.
Yu Shenghan frowned. This was obviously not normal.
Shen Hanqing and the others arrived at a temple in the town. The statue enshrined in the temple was not a very common statue of a god, but one that they had never seen before.
Yu Shenghan asked the person in charge of the temple, "Who is this deity that you are worshipping?"
The person in charge of the temple smiled and said, "Excuse me for making fun of you. This is just the god we locals believe in, so you may not have seen it."
It is true that some places enshrine statues of things that the locals believe in.
But Yu Shenghan still felt something was strange.
Shen Hanqing spoke, "Tell us what kind of god you believe in."
The person in charge of the temple hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there's nothing much to say."
Shen Hanqing took out a gold ingot and said, “I prefer listening to stories.”
The temple manager's eyes widened, but he still said, "There's really nothing to say."
Shen Hanqing took out another ingot of gold.
The temple leader changed his tone and said, "It's okay to tell you."
So, sometimes, people are unwilling to compromise just because you don’t pay enough.
The person in charge of the temple began to tell the story of the statue.
It is said that several decades ago, this area suffered from drought and famine, and many people starved to death.
Just when everyone thought that more and more people would starve to death.
A real dragon appeared and brought rain to everyone, alleviating the drought.
People suddenly felt that they saw hope and asked for help from the real dragon.
Unexpectedly, the real dragon sent rain for many days in a row, and the drought was completely resolved.
The famine ended.
But after the drought ended, the real dragon disappeared.
In order to commemorate the real dragon, everyone built a Dragon King Temple to thank the real dragon for saving them.
The real dragon probably sensed their sincerity and has been blessing this place with good weather and harvests.
So the Dragon King officially became the being worshipped in this town.
Shen Hanqing glanced at Yu Shenghan. Isn’t the real dragon here?
She gave an ambiguous smile and said, "Then you should have carved a dragon, why did you carve a human?"
"How do you know he looks like this?"
The temple manager's eyes flickered as he said, "The Dragon King must be handsome, so he was carved like this."
It was a lie, but Shen Hanqing didn't expose it because there was no need.
She and Yu Shenghan looked around other places, but there was nothing special there.
After returning to the inn, Yu Shenghan said, "I always feel that there is something strange about this town."
Shen Hanqing said: “Then check it out.”
Yu Shenghan asked Shen Hanqing, "Did Senior Sister also discover anything?"
Shen Hanqing reached out and poured a cup of tea, “No.”
Yu Shenghan was slightly disappointed. "If Senior Sister doesn't mind, then let's check it out. Who knows, it might be a demon causing trouble."
Shen Hanqing replied: "I don't mind." Originally, Yu Shenghan was supposed to lead the plot.
In the next few days, Yu Shenghan would go out and ask the people in the town about the legend of the Dragon King.
Except for that day when she went out, Shen Hanqing has been staying in the inn.
Yu Feng tried to get closer to Shen Hanqing day by day. After spending so many days, he was finally not thrown out again.
The little flower demon Bai Muyou has been practicing hard because she said she wants to take revenge personally.
Ye Lingyao was very afraid of Shen Hanqing, so she followed Yu Shenghan out.
The medicine that made her unable to speak had lost its effect, but she no longer dared to talk nonsense in front of Shen Hanqing.
Because she was afraid that Shen Hanqing would give her something to eat again.
A few days later, Yu Shenghan told Shen Hanqing, “What these people said about the Dragon Lord is very strange.”
"I also found two children, a boy and a girl, in a room. I don't know whose children they are."
“Someone has been bringing them food.”
Ye Lingyao subconsciously glanced at Shen Hanqing, then whispered, "Could it be that they want to traffic children?"
Yu Shenghan shook her head. "Impossible! If they were trafficking children, they would be even more rude and wouldn't give them such good food."
Shen Hanqing said casually: “Maybe he is raised as a pig.”
As if awakened from a dream, Yu Shenghan's pupils shrank slightly, "Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like it."
Because the two children ate very well and just couldn't leave the room.
Every time someone came to deliver food, they would check the two children's physical condition and then say that they would be back soon.
Ye Lingyao glanced at Shen Hanqing. She really wanted to say that Shen Hanqing didn’t go with them, so how could she know that they were being raised like pigs.
But she is very timid now and dares not speak.
Yu Shenghan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go ask those two kids tonight if they know anything."
Shen Hanqing was still indifferent, “Yeah.”
Ye Lingyao quickly said, "I'll go with you!"
At night, Shen Hanqing stood not far from the place where the child was imprisoned.
Yu Feng appeared behind Shen Hanqing.
He was very unhappy because Shen Hanqing was secretly paying attention to Yu Shenghan, and said in a rather gloomy tone: "What are you doing here, blowing the cold wind?"
Shen Hanqing glanced at him and said in a cold tone: “Do you also want to try the medicine I gave Ye Lingyao before?”
Yu Feng shut up. This woman was really cruel.
Yu Shenghan and Ye Lingyao appeared not far away under the cover of night, found a way to open the door and go in.
Shen Hanqing waited until Yu Shenghan and Ye Lingyao came out before returning to the inn.
The next day, Yu Shenghan told Shen Hanqing about the situation.
The two children said that their parents said they would take them home in a few days.
As for why they were imprisoned in this place, no one knew; their parents did not tell them.
Both children are just ten years old.
Yu Shenghan thought about it again, but still had no clue.
This afternoon, while eating, Shen Hanqing stretched out his chopsticks and picked up some dishes.
He lowered his eyes, looked at the food and smiled.
But she ate it anyway.
When Yu Shenghan was laughing, she had already realized that there might be something wrong with the dish.
But when he saw Shen Hanqing eating, he also pretended to have eaten a lot.
I vomited as soon as I got back to my room.
He knocked on Shen Hanqing's door, "Senior Sister. There is something else in today's dishes, right?"
Shen Hanqing threw a pill into her mouth, “It’s a drug that makes people sleepy. What secrets does this town have? Maybe it will be revealed tonight.”
Yu Shenghan couldn't help but ask Shen Hanqing, "Will those two children die?"
Shen Hanqing thought about it, he died in the plot, and Yu Shenghan didn’t have time to save him.
She said, "If you go over now, maybe you can save him."
