  Chapter 70 069. Are you the devil?   The pattern of the town of Dry Water during the day is no different from other towns.

Lu Yi dressed in a jacket that was out of sync with the surroundings, came to the first floor of the Inn, and lined up the coins in his hand.

"Boss, hot two taels of wine, a bowl of fennel beans."

He said casually.

The insensitive Boss last night, with a smile on his face at this moment, moved towards Lu Yi replied.

"There are no beans, only wine, and small fish to go with the wine, can you?"

"Okay."

Lu Yi held it in his hand Give the Boss the coin from the local government. It was a local coin. He brought it back when he had breakfast in the morning and when he went to the town to inquire about the news.

During the whole process, no one was harmed.

There was a jug of wine and a pile of dried fish on the table. Lu Yi saw that the cat in the store was rubbing against his trouser legs. He picked up a small dried fish and put it in the cat’s In front of him, I sniffed it, and the cat was very excited and made a cry.

Then it watched Lu Yi take the dried fish back and ate it in one bite.

The cat was taken aback for a moment, tears appeared in her eyes, and she barked.

"Are you the devil?"

Drizzt threw a small dried fish in front of the cat, watched it happily eaten, and spit out.

"Boss, do you know anything about Haijia, I heard they can make fishermen a good harvest?"

Lu Yi asked while eating dried fish.

There is no one else in the shop. It is very deserted. Passersby are rarely seen in the town. Men usually go out to sea early to fish. Women, the elderly and children are all at home. This is a typical agricultural village and town situation.

"Haijia? Haijia is the benefactor of Drywater Town."

The shop boss' eyes shined.

"The town of Dry Water was suffering from floods at first. The tides of the sea often rushed into the village and destroyed the fields. Later, the Master Master with a gray tower passed by and suppressed the monster in the sea, and finally it stopped. Some."

"But later, probably because the seal was loosened, the monster in the sea ran out again. In order to avenge the people in the town, it controlled the sea. From then on, there was no more tide here. If you don’t come to fish, people here can only go to deep oceans to fish, and accidents often happen."

"At that time, people tried to offer sacrifices to the sea, from livestock to living people, sometimes Calm and tranquil, sometimes it’s useless. The town of Qushui was originally very large, but it gradually declined and became its current name."

"But then, the people from the Hai family came Here, they have brought in the tide and brought the catch. When the school of fish is the largest, they can go directly to the beach to pick up the fish. Hey, that's the best scene."

"You know The people of the Hai family master a special dance called wave dance, praying for the tide, guiding the fish, every year in the fish tide season, they will hold a ceremony, then it can be lively."

"But twenty years ago, the Hai family didn't know why and didn't hold the ceremony on time. At that time, everyone was in a panic and surrounded the Hai family mansion, but only heard strange noises coming from the house. There was no one. People responded."

"Seven days later, the Hai family’s talents came out and held the ceremony again, and everything returned to normal."

The shop boss did not hide anything. A piece of history is well known, and everyone is familiar with it.

"Hai's has a strange noise?"

Drizzt took his pipe and lit the tobacco.

"I don't know this anymore, I also heard people say it back then."

The shop boss said with a smile while wiping the table.

"Why was the ceremony interrupted at the time? Is there anything unusual in your town after that?"

Drizzt asked again.

"I don't know, it's nothing unusual."

The shop boss doesn't seem to want to specifically talk about what happened 20 years ago.

"Do you know the Black Queen?"

Lu Yi suddenly spoke, causing Drizzt to sweat.

The shop boss’s expression became weird. He stared directly at Lu Yi. That look reminded Drizzt of the numb villagers in the village last night, and remembered standing behind the stone statue. The weird humanoid monster.

With only one sentence, the happy atmosphere in the shop disappeared.

The boss of the shop was silent for a moment, and then made an incomprehensible voice in a low, weird, and inhuman tone.

"Quack."

The sound was like bubbles exploding in water, with a certain muddy texture.

Drizzt felt his scalp numb, and the shop Boss, who was still introducing himself to the situation in Drywater, was like a monster in a blink of an eye, and it was close at hand.

He took out the revolver, aimed at the shop boss, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

"Wait."

Lu Yi stopped Drizzt, who was already bloodshot in his eyes, and stood between the two.

"You know the Black Queen, he is a common belief in this area, isn't it?"

"Don't mention it, this, name."

The shop boss squeezed out a few difficult words from deep in his throat, as if someone was strangling his neck.

Drizzt noticed that the shop boss’s eyes were wide, and the popped eyeballs were like fish. On his neck and wrists, azure blood vessels swelled and spread under his skin. The whole person is in an extremely tight state.

"I see, let's continue to talk about the Hai family."

Lu Yi raised his hand and made a gesture of trying to calm the other person.

The boss of the shop still maintained that tight appearance, but the fear in his eyes had subsided a lot. After a few minutes, he completely became the original man, just looking very tired , Drooped his head and sat back behind the counter, no matter how Lu Yi and Drizzt yelled, there was no longer paid attention to the two of them.

"The black queen seems to be a taboo term for the people living here, but this also confirms that there is indeed the belief of the black queen in this area, and even the ordinary person knows it ."

Lu Yi thought backward and got the conclusion.

"The connection between the Hai Family and the Black Queen seems to be not simple, because if the Black Queen and the Hai Family are related, the Boss would not simply say these things about the Hai Family."

"Indeed, if the Hai Family wants to conceal it deliberately, they should have the ability to keep the people in the town from mentioning what happened 20 years ago."

Drizzt was in shock. , He glanced at the Boss curled up in the corner, looking towards Lu Yi.

At this time, Lu Yi bent down, snatched the food from the cat's mouth that was eating the dried fish, and shouted at the cat.

"Cats cannot eat salty food, their kidneys cannot break down salt."

He put the dried fish into his mouth.

"."

Drizzt didn't know for a while whether the shop boss that suddenly changed his face was more horrible, or the companion with the cat grabbing the dried fish was more noteworthy.

"Why don't we ask that person."

Lu Yi carefully put the remaining small fish into his pocket, and then pointed to the back of Drizzt.

There stood a man in short clothes, with dark skin and a strong build. He looked like a fisherman who often went out to sea to fish.

"He has been standing there since just now."

Drizzt looked at the man suspiciously.

The man spoke immediately, speaking in the local dialect. Even if there is a quiet place translation, it sounds a bit difficult.

"You are the guests of the Hai family, I have something to look for you."

"My younger sister is the bride of the Hai family."
