Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 4 Butcher
"It turned out to be a person. I was scared to death."

The burly man opposite let out a sound of lingering fear, as if he was also frightened by Chu Danqing.

"I thought it was some kind of mandrill ghost. I thought it wasn't even dark yet."

At this time, Chu Danqing finally saw the other person clearly.

He was a butcher wearing a short shirt and a coarse cloth around his waist, and there was a shoulder pole not far away.

Apparently, when Chu Danqing was collecting the corpses, the other party also noticed the movement in the haystack, and then he came over with a butcher knife.

"Wow, two wolves." The butcher came closer curiously, took a closer look at the wolf corpse on Chu Danqing's shoulder, and then commented: "The quality is a bit poor."

"You're quite courageous. You deserve to die here."

The butcher naturally had no good feelings towards the wolf, and the best outcome would be that he would become a pot of meat.

Then he noticed Chu Danqing's appearance and asked, "Brother, you are not from this place, right?"

"Just passing by." Chu Danqing did not engage in enthusiastic conversation, but was just observing the butcher.

Even though the other person may look carefree, you cannot judge a person by his appearance.

"Don't be afraid, little brother. I'm not a bad person. I live in Xianghua Village in front."

"Everyone who knows me calls me Jiang the Butcher. I'm in the business of slaughtering pigs and selling meat. Anyone from the surrounding villages who sees the meat I sell has to say it's good." The butcher didn't get too enthusiastic, but introduced himself first.

Chu Danqing looked him up and down, a suspicious look on his face: "The wolf was killed here, didn't you encounter it when you were setting up your stall?"

Not to mention why the other party, as a butcher, would be carrying meat to sell, but it would be strange if you didn't meet him when you went out on this road.

"What? Here?!" Jiang Tu's attitude surprised Chu Danqing. "I changed my route today because I had a break. Usually, few people take this road."

It means it is a temporary decision and not a permanent route.

If the other person is not an excellent actor, then what he said is quite true.

"Wait, what's that on your waist?" Jiang Tu also noticed something strange about Chu Danqing.

We are always wary of outsiders.

After all, in ancient times, people had low mobility, so if a stranger came in, it was basically impossible to avoid him.

Even people like Jiang Tu who roam the streets only follow a fixed route.

"The child eaten by the wolf was a boy."

"I helped him calm down a bit and will take him to Xianghua Village to ask."

"You said you are a villager of Xianghua Village, so you should know something." When Chu Danqing spoke, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Tu. If the other party made any unusual movement, he would take action.

Jiang Tu's expression changed, but he couldn't believe a stranger's one-sided words in the wilderness.

Just like in Jiang Tu's conversation with Chu Danqing, there was also a certain amount of exploratory thinking.

"I know. The village chief's grandson Sanniu ran away seven days ago." Jiang Tu looked at the piece of cloth that Chu Danqing took out and knew it was the village chief's child.

"We went fishing in Houhe for two days, but we didn't expect..."

Having said this, Jiang Tu suddenly stopped talking and did not continue.

However, his attitude towards Chu Danqing had also changed, and he no longer had the polite warmth as before.

"My dear brother, you are exhausted and it is getting late. Let's go to Xianghua Village to rest."

"You found the remains of the village chief's grandson. He will definitely repay you well."

"Let's walk faster, we'll be there in a moment." Jiang Tu said, put away the butcher knife, picked up the load and led the way.

"What's your name, young man?" Jiang Tu kept talking and now he remembered to ask Chu Danqing's name.

Before he died, Chu Danqing naturally didn't care about revealing his name, so he just said it. But what if?
It would be better to choose a code name for yourself. When you go out, he won’t actively harm people, but you still have to be on guard against others.

"My surname is Chu and my name is Mo." Chu Danqing said.

Danqing means painting, and it can be elegantly called silent poetry, so we choose the word "mo".

Just like Jiang Tu, he only gave his nickname and didn't say his real name.

The two sides are balanced.

"Brother, your name is really unique." Jiang Tu didn't think too much about it when he heard this and just gave a subconscious compliment.

When doing business, you must say one thing to one person and another thing to another.

As a result, he found that he was not easy to be complimented.

Fortunately, he was a very versatile person and soon found a new topic.

Most of the time, Chu Danqing just listened and rarely interrupted.

He is a modern man, and the more he says, the more mistakes he will make.

Moreover, by listening more, you can also get some information about Xianghua Village from Jiang Tu, even if it is just some family matters.

This made Jiang Tu feel that the name "silent" for Chu Danqing was really right, as he was indeed silent throughout the journey.

The two arrived at Xianghua Village very smoothly before dark.

At the entrance of the village, a large banyan tree with lush branches and leaves is very conspicuous.

But the most eye-catching thing is the people sitting under the big banyan tree.

A man who was even more burly than Jiang Tu, at least 2 meters tall, and looked very strong and powerful.

But he looked sloppy and dirty, and his clothes were tattered and haphazardly matched.

However, what attracted Chu Danqing the most was not the other person's appearance, but his expression which was different from his rough appearance.

Chu Danqing is not the type of person who judges people by their appearance, but when he sees someone, he can't help but use impolite words that indicate intellectually underdeveloped vocabulary in his mind.

"The village guard, one of the three scenic spots?" Chu Danqing immediately thought of the three scenic spots of Xianghua described in the mission brief.

Jiang Tu also saw the other person and shouted, "Dabao, whose house are we going to dinner tonight?"

After shouting, he turned around and explained to Chu Danqing: "Dabao is the village guardian. He may not be very smart, but he has a good heart."

This is said as a reminder, but in reality it means don't mess with fools, because if they get hit on the head you won't be in the right.

When Dabao heard Jiang Tu's words, he said in a dazed voice, "The village chief's house, Dadezi hasn't come to call him yet."

"Don't wait for him to call. I'm going to the village chief's house too. Come with me." Jiang Tu said, taking out a handful of lard from his waist bag and handing it to Dabao.

Dabao didn't say anything polite or refuse, he just grabbed it and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Then he asked vaguely, "Dajiang, do you want to kick out the strangers you brought with you?"

"Eat your food. Brother Chu is the village chief's guest." Jiang Tu was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "If I really let you drive me away, you will not only be hungry tonight but also have to sleep with me."

"I don't want it. You fart and grind your teeth when you sleep." Dabao said with disgust after swallowing the lard residue.

When Chu Danqing heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was nothing wrong at the beginning. If he hadn't met Jiang Tu, a villager of Xianghua Village, the village guard Dabao would definitely not have let him in.

Based on Dabao's logic, it definitely doesn't make sense.

We can't take action yet. No matter whether we win or lose, we will offend the villagers of Xianghua Village, which is tantamount to falling into a vicious cycle.
