Strange Tales: You're an Official, but you're raising a bunch of Demonessess? - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Ten thousand thunderbolts frightened my beloved Lu’er to death.

“Hey, did you hear that?”

“A big event happened in Li Village in the next county!”

“Someone heard that the clear sky suddenly covered with dark clouds, thunder lights, and thunder!”

“I heard that the thunder is terrifying! Infinite purple thunder, it seems like a disaster is coming!”

“Yes, yes! People are roaring like tigers and dragons roaring! You can also see dragons soaring!”

“That Leaping Dragon River has suddenly cut off its flow directly!”

“A hunter went up the mountain, saying that he saw a god, the river was cut off in half, the earth was scorched for ten miles, and the mountains collapsed… It is really a fairy who crossed the calamity…”

“Is it possible that the new king who reversed the era appeared? Or is there some kind of genius treasure…”

“Hey! It’s impossible to say!”

“Brother Bai, don’t you come from there?”

“Tell me, tell me, is it true or not?”

“If you can see such a spectacle with your own eyes, it must be a spring of literary thinking, and you can write a poem…”

…

It’s almost exam day. Many students with dreams and a desire to achieve a class leap have embarked on the road to rush for the exam. This is a tavern station on the road, not set up in a bustling city, but near noon, there were also many pedestrians resting there for a meal, people of the three religions and nine streams, and the cups were intertwined, making it quite lively.

Where a few scholarly students gathered, it was a little more noisy. They show off literature, recite poems, and make right, arty, feel superior. The imperial examination was approaching, and they all felt they could be named on the gold list, honouring their ancestors.

Among the crowd was a young scholar who worked hard and had a somewhat dissolute temperament. He did not participate in the knowledge exchange among scholars or recite poems and prose. He was like a husky among wolves, a maverick with which the next person seemed out of place.

Bai Yu. However, several scholars around him liked him quite a lot. This man was dressed casually and had a dissolute temperament. He did not know in his belly. He didn’t know how to recite poems and make the right words, He only knew how to eat and drink vigorously.

Must be a poor student! There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Scholars are jealous!

“Hey, did you hear that?”

Mentioning the experience that impressed him a few days ago, Bai Yu couldn’t help stopping the bowls and chopsticks for cooking and subconsciously touched his chest. Immediately nodded slightly, said: “I see you.”

“True or false? Tell me quickly, and I will pour wine with you!”

“Yes, yes! Is it really as mysterious as the rumours?”

“When there is really a dragon? Are there really ten thousand thunderbolts?”

The eyes of several scholars lit up in an instant, and they couldn’t help but focus on Bai Yu’s body together, asking in mixed voices.

They also do not know that the rumours of lightning and thunder, a dragon dancing protagonist, it was this person in front of them.

Bai Yu pursed his lips and drank the wine in the glass poured for him by others. Shrugging his shoulders, he said casually, “Of course there are.”

“I don’t know about the dragon, but ten thousand thunderbolts are there, all of which scared my Lu’er to death.”

“Ah, this…”

“Dead?”

“Brother Bai, please mourn!”

“Can it really scare people to death?”

“What a shocking scene it must be!”

Everyone stagnates. You look at me, I look at you, I look at you, I look at you, everyone looks at each other, and they all sigh softly, comforting Bai Yu.

Many scholars from better families had accompanying book boys. Hearing what Bai Yu said, everyone thought it was his accompanying book boy who was hacked to death, and they couldn’t help feeling a little bit emotional.

Bai Yu: …

“My Lu’er is a donkey that drives me on my journey,” Bai Yu said.

Bai Yu finished three bowls of rice with tears in his eyes. Lu’er died heroically, and Bai Yu had to pack lightly and walk on foot. Along the way, he also thought his Lu’er died because of Long Zhi. Can Sister Dragon follow suit? That would be cool!

Everyone comforting Bai Yu froze suddenly, swallowing words into their mouths. For a while, the brothers felt a little helpless.

Give me back my feelings! What’s your name for a broken donkey? He said so sadly that he thought something had happened!

“Hahaha~ It’s good that people are okay!”

“Brother Bai, don’t be sad, I will give you ten donkeys after I get the honour in the exam, ah no… so what about ten horses?”

“That’s it!”

“Brother Li, what about me? Don’t forget about wealth and honour!”

“Hahahaha, Brother Zhang is very knowledgeable, so you still need me to help you~.”

Scholars brag about each other. The atmosphere gradually returned to its original appearance.

“Hey!”

“So funny!”

“Give the broken donkey a name?”

“A group of poor and corrupt scholars, with hearts higher than the sky, lives thinner than paper, and self-consciously extraordinary, are most useless!”

And at this moment, there was a cold snort in his ear. For a while, the station was suddenly quiet.
