Chapter 1173 - Chapter 1173: Bait (3) (2/2)
Zhang niuzi cursed and said,
“You, Li Er, can’t afford a wife, but vou know how to sleep with vour own
sister-in-law. Tsk, tsk, you can save money on getting a wife. How can a wife be better than a sister-in-law? as the old saying goes, dumplings are more delicious than food, so what’s fun about it?”
“It’s not as fun as sister-in-law!” Someone replied.
Everyone laughed, and the tavern became lively.
Li er’s elder brother, like most of the townspeople, made a living by picking and growing herbs. Once, he went up the mountain to pick herbs and fell off a cliff. He escaped death, but his legs were disabled, and he lay in bed all day.
Without a man working at home, the quality of life had dropped sharply. Li er’s aunt was a rather beautiful woman.
In less than half a year, she had gotten together with Li Er.
Chen er heard his subordinates laughing and scolding each other. From the corner of his eye, he saw Jingyuan put down his wine glass and turned his head to look at him.
The monk’s voice rang in his ears, “”Xiang Prefecture’s winter is this cold?”
Chen er quickly straightened his body to show his respect and replied respectfully, ”
“How can that be? if it’s like this every winter, how can the people of Xiang Zhou live? It was especially cold this year. Winter had just arrived, but the night wind was already bone-chilling. In another half a year, the eaves will be frozen. ”
As he spoke, Chen er raised his cup and drank it all, ‘”‘1 wonder how many people will freeze to death this winter. However, which winter doesn’t have people dying? This is how the world works, it’s good enough to have a meal.”
sigh, that damned Chai Xian. He caused everyone to come out to patrol on such a cold day. I think he’s long gone. He wouldn’t dare to stay in Xiang Zhou.
Chen er nagged on and on, and the time for half an incense stick to burn passed quickly. He grabbed the short knife and shouted, ‘ “Stop drinking, stop drinking. Get up and go patrol the streets.” “Ah, it’s been half an incense’s time? I only sat down when I felt it. ”
drink another half an incense stick. It’s such a cold day. That dog Chai Xian might be having fun in some woman’s bed. He definitely won’t come out to cause trouble.
The patrol members were all complaining.
At this moment, Jingyuan’s ears twitched as he heard a slight and unusual sound of water flowing.
“Shut up!”
Jingyuan shouted.
The noisy Hall fell silent. No one dared to speak, and they all looked at him blankly.
Jingyuan ignored them. He closed his eyes and amplified his hearing to the maximum.
The sound of water entered his ears. It was different from the sound of normal water. It was more like an undercurrent, dozens of undercurrents …
No, it wasn’t an undercurrent. It was something swimming along the river outside the tavern toward them.
