Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 12 012 Mawang Village (I)

"This should be the silver transported by the caravan of the Wang family that disappeared outside the Forest of Dead Bones a few years ago." The middle-aged man said. Whether before or now, when he was talking to Wang Wu, there was no expression on his face.

Then he continued:
"I don't know how you found this money. You may not be afraid, but I have a daughter. Besides, I have to go to Hedong County to make a living, so I can't take this money."

"Moreover," the middle-aged man pointed at Wang Wu's clothes, "the clothes you are wearing have the mark of the Wang family caravan on them. These should be the clothes of the escorts of the Wang family caravan."

"I once worked for the Wang family for a period of time, and when the Wang family caravan disappeared outside the county town, I happened to be at the Wang family."

At this point, the middle-aged man looked at Wang Wu:

"And the Wang family doesn't have someone like you who is still unknown."

"Besides, your clothes smell like a dead person. My nose is more sensitive than that of ordinary people, so I can smell that smell."

"Is that so..." Wang Wu smiled and nodded, "These clothes and silver were indeed obtained from the dead."

"It's over there." Wang Wu pointed to the Bone Forest on the other side of the road. "I escaped from there. There is a monster's corpse pit in there. The bodies of the Wang family caravan members are in that pit."

"And their trunks."

"There were two other people in the pit with me. They went there to look for the treasures of the Wang family's caravan that disappeared a few years ago."

"And I was captured there by a spider demon, who was about to kill and eat me."

At this point, Wang Wu noticed that the middle-aged man was obviously listening much more seriously than before, and he didn't seem to doubt what he said.

After all, there was nothing wrong with what he said, because if those two people were not there, Wang Wu might have really fed Zhu Sanniang a meal when he arrived at the pit. After a passionate embrace, the two sides reluctantly parted.

Therefore, it can also be said that there is nothing wrong with Wang Wu’s explanation and it does not contain any lies.

"Those two men had demon-killing stones in their hands, but they were still killed by the spider demon. I took the opportunity to snatch the demon-killing stone from the man with the mole on his face and forced the spider demon to retreat."

"Then he took the package from one of the two men, found a clothed corpse from the pit, and ran out."

"Why do you want clothes?"

After the story was told, the first person to speak was the middle-aged man's daughter. She asked with some curiosity.

Wang Wu didn't answer, but just glanced at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, he just walked over and patted his daughter on the back.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to dig into this matter." He answered on behalf of Wang Wu. Of course he knew why Wang Wu didn't say anything, so he cooperated.

"Do these clothes smell bad?" After the middle-aged man answered his daughter's question for him, Wang Wu lowered his head and smelled the clothes on his body.

It does taste bad, but it’s not stinky, right?

"Most people can't smell it." The middle-aged man said, "But if you want to wear this dress to enter Hedong County, you may run into some trouble."

"Then..." Wang Wu was about to ask, but he immediately thought of a solution.

So he turned around and looked at the corpse on the ground.

The clothes of ancient people were generally very loose, so the clothes on these people could be worn directly by just taking them off.

Although many bodies were in tatters, the clothes of those who were shot dead were not damaged. So Wang Wu walked over and started to strip the clothes of those whose bodies were still intact.

After working with Wang Wu to deal with the six young men from Dapeng Village who surrounded them and answering Wang Wu's question, the middle-aged man could have left directly.

But at this moment, he did not leave, but stood there, standing next to the package that Wang Wu had thrown on the ground. Seeing Wang Wu start to pull up the clothes of the person on the ground, he immediately understood what the other party wanted to do.

So he immediately patted his daughter, "Xiaoling, turn around."

"Ah?" The girl named Xiaoling was stunned. She didn't understand why her father said that.

"Turn around if I tell you to." The middle-aged man said with a serious expression on his face.

"Oh……"

Seeing her father's serious tone, the girl turned around cooperatively.

After a while, Wang Wu, who had changed his clothes, patted his clothes and came to the middle-aged man.

"Brother, what do you think of my outfit?"

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Wu's outfit, opened his mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but ultimately remained silent.

"What's the matter?" Wang Wu was a little puzzled when he saw the expression on the middle-aged man's face.

"Nothing." The middle-aged man shook his head. "Well, you come here first." Wang Wu walked over cooperatively.

"You don't wear this like this. Let me show you how."

"Yes, like this. And this one, wear it like this, look at mine, right."

"And this one, yes, that's right, it's right-side-up. Right-side-up means the left side of the shirt is outside and the right side is inside."

"Yes, that's it, that's all."

"Daddy, what are you doing?"

Listening to the voice coming from behind, Xiaoling asked curiously.

"Nothing." The middle-aged man replied, "Okay, you can turn back now."

Xiaoling, who had been very curious for a long time, immediately turned around impatiently after hearing what her father said.

Then, she was stunned again, and her face began to turn red again.

Wang Wu's clothes were plain and simple, but he did not change his shoes because the young men were all wearing straw sandals, and the shoes he touched from the corpse pit were a pair of boots.

It doesn't matter about boots because they are not uniform.

Simple, plain, just the most common attire for country youth. It was already autumn, so they had to wear something thicker.

He wore a short grey linen top with the cuffs tied with cloth strips, a pair of black hakama with a crotch, and a pair of leather boots.

Because the dead man was smaller than Wang Wu, the clothes were a little tight on Wang Wu, but they also showed off his figure well.

He has a wasp waist and an ape back, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looks heroic and full of spirit.

Monsters eat people and are extremely cruel and wanton, but it must be said that basically every monster that has transformed can be called a "synonym of beauty."

You can absolutely trust a monster's appearance, there is no doubt about that.

Wang Wu patted the dust off his clothes, and then he found that it was actually a little bloodstain, but he didn't care.

He had a long sword hanging from his waist and a backpack on his back. Apart from his hair being in a ponytail, he basically looked like an ordinary human here.

"Okay, don't just stand there. We still have to hurry. Go back early. We still have some things to do at home." After slapping his dazed daughter, the middle-aged man nodded to Wang Wu, "Sir, we're leaving now."

Wang Wu also bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Thank you for helping me, big brother. I have nothing to repay you except the silver in this bag. I am really ashamed."

The group set out on the road again. Although they were still moving forward, there was no other communication except that the middle-aged man's daughter Xiaoling would occasionally glance at Wang Wu stealthily.

The three of them passed the first village on the side of the road. The guards on the watchtower in the village did not realize what was happening eight kilometers away, and ordinary people could not see that far.

However, when passing by the village, Wang Wu still noticed the hostile eyes of the sentinels on the watchtowers in the village.

But those people did not do anything. Although they aimed their crossbows, they did not release their arrows. This made Wang Wu a little confused.

It was not until the three of them were completely away from the village that Wang Wu asked curiously:
"Did they find out?"

“No.” The middle-aged man shook his head. “It’s just that the relationship between our two villages is very bad. Someone was killed in the past two years.”

"Our village is just ahead." At this time, the middle-aged man's daughter Xiaoling also interrupted and said, "Brother Wu, you can find a place to rest in our village tonight. It's still a long way to Hedong County."

"Is it okay?" Wang Wu looked at Brother Ma.

"Of course." Brother Ma nodded. "We in the roadside villages also rely on this for our livelihood. There are inns in the villages. But Young Master Wang, it's best not to leak your wealth. The money you stole from those young men will be enough."

"Thank you." Wang Wu thanked.

"You're welcome."

After passing Dapeng Village, they walked for nearly an hour and arrived at a new village not far away. This was where the middle-aged man Ma Chao and his daughter Ma Ling lived.

"This is Mawang Village." Ma Chao's daughter introduced it to Wang Wu enthusiastically: "Our Mawang Village..."

"Wait, where does the smell of blood come from?"

However, before she could finish her words, Wang Wu interrupted him. Not only him, but also Ma Ling's father said the same thing at the same time as Wang Wu said this:

"Something happened in the village!"

Two voices rang out at the same time, and the two looked at each other. Then, Ma Chuo immediately ran towards the village, followed by Wang Wu and Ma Chuo's daughter.
