Hearing that she was called a little girl, Jing Yu coughed twice in embarrassment, causing Nansui next to her to eat and laugh for a while.

After laughing, Nan Sui hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round game, "Mother-in-law, this young lady's marriage is not in a hurry, but we have been traveling for a day, and now we are a little tired, I don't know if we can find three empty rooms."

Granny Hua snorted and slapped her head, "When you're old, you love to chatter, don't be weird." As he spoke, he smiled and beckoned to the three of them, "You guys come upstairs with me." ”

The wooden floor of the inn was in disrepair, and there was a slight creaking sound when stepped on, and the dilapidated and narrow staircase was even more terrifying.

The air is always filled with the smell of wood decaying after years of immersion, and it is damp and astringent.

Granny Hua slowly moved upstairs, and took out an iron ring from her waist, on which was tied a large set of keys, and there was a small commotion when she moved.

She fumbled her way to the door of a room, grabbed the ring in one hand and touched the key in the other to try the lock one by one, and after trying for a long time, the door finally made a soft "click" sound after a key was inserted. Granny Hua breathed a long sigh of relief, beat her waist, which was a little sore from standing for a long time, pushed open the door and walked in.

The three of them followed the house and looked around the room. Just like the outside, it is in disrepair.

The wooden floor under his feet makes painful moans from time to time, and it seems that it has reached the limit of load-bearing, and every time a person takes a step on it, he has to worry about whether he will step on the ground and fall down.

Fortunately, the room is not small, and there are all the things that should be there, and there is even a compartment to put two beds, which is more than enough for three people.

"You can live here. Granny Hua smiled and said, "Three female dolls, don't be afraid to live together." ”

"But Jing" Nansui subconsciously wanted to explain, but was stopped by Jing Yu and shook his head at her.

Tang Xiaobai arched his hand and said, "Thank you mother-in-law, it's good for us to live here." ”

Granny Hua nodded, took the key to the room off the iron ring, handed it to Tang Xiaobai, and said slowly, "It's getting dark, don't go out at night." ”

She turned her back slowly, moving her steps outward, still muttering, "After dark, if you hear a knock on the door, don't open the door."

"Can't you open the door?"

Granny Hua's voice was still coming in intermittently, echoing in the empty inn. Then there was the creaking of the planks being stepped on, and soon, as Granny Hua left, silence returned to the inn.

Jing Yu stepped forward and closed the door, took out dry food from the storage bag and distributed it to Tang Xiaobai and Nansui, "Eat some first, something." ”

The three of them sat down, silent for a moment.

Nan Sui pursed her mouth, and her voice was full of crying, "You say, will there be ghosts here?"

The specious words that Granny Hua said just now really scared her. She was afraid that she would really hear something at night, such as the knock on the door from Granny Hua's mouth.

Tang Xiaobai casually took a small mouth of dry food with his hand and sent it to his mouth, "Ghosts are not terrible. ”

"But, but don't people go directly to the underworld after they die, why are they still wandering in the world, could it be that the resentment is too heavy and they don't enter reincarnation" Nansui's voice trembled, looking panicked.

Tang Xiaobai snorted, "There is this possibility." ”

Nansui received an affirmative answer, her heart trembled, and she didn't hold back her tears and fell down, "It's terrible, I don't want to be here anymore, I want to go back"

Jing Yu smiled helplessly, "You are, immortal cultivator." ”

Nansui sniffed, "Then I'm afraid of ghosts." ”

This is not a question of cultivating immortals at all, she is a little girl who is like a flower and jade, of course she will be afraid of ghosts.

Speaking of which, she hadn't seen a ghost before, and she didn't know if the ghosts were all covered with blood and looked terrible, and they had to stretch out their arms and jump and walk.

The more Nansui thought about it, the more terrifying it became, as if some kind of switch had been turned on in her body, and tears kept pouring out.

Seeing this, Jing Yu hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her to wipe her tears, her expression crying and laughing.

"Don't cry, the ghosts are afraid of you. Tang Xiaobai had a headache from her crying, so she had to sigh.

Nansui was stunned for a moment, and asked with tears in her eyes, "Why?"

"Because, scare you, ghost, no, a sense of accomplishment. Jing Yu said with a smile.

"Ah" Nansui sniffed blankly, and after thinking about it, he realized that these two people were uniting to make fun of themselves, and with a snort, he threw the handkerchief into Jing Yu's arms, and left the two of them and walked into the back room in a huff.

After a while, he poked his head out and said pitifully, "Xiaobai, you come in to accompany me, I'm afraid." ”

Even though Nansui was reluctant to do so, the sun was still pulled down the mountain by the night little by little, and the moon rose in shifts, shining on the floor through the narrow window, adding a touch of the quiet and gentleness of a summer moonlit night to the house.

Jing Yu sat in the moonlight, holding the table in his hand, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window, and waited patiently.

When the moon rose higher again, the door of the inner room was gently opened, and Tang Xiaobai walked out with light steps.

Jing Yu looked at her and asked softly, "Sleep"

Tang Xiaobai nodded, "I set up an enchantment around her, and if there is no movement, she shouldn't wake up." ”

Jing Yu shook his head helplessly, "I'm tired, you're tired." ”

Tang Xiaobai snorted, and also sat down and looked out the window at the moonlight.

She always felt that the nights here were weird, it seemed

"It's too quiet. Jing Yu said.

Be. This is not the tranquility of a rural summer night.

Outside the window, there was the sound of beating the watchman and knocking on the stick, and not long after the sound, there was a sudden sound of squeaking and stepping on the wooden planks in the corridor outside the room.

Footsteps slowly passed by the door of their room, and after a while they turned back again, as if pacing.

In the house, Tang Xiaobai and Jing Yu glanced at each other and listened silently.

The footsteps still rang outside the door, but there was no sign of stopping, just walking aimlessly, as if the walking man was just trying to disturb the sound of stepping on the floor.

Nansui in the back room inadvertently turned over while sleeping, and his feet inadvertently kicked on the cabinet at the foot of the bed, making a slight collision sound.

The sound of pacing in the distance outside the door stopped instantly, and then there was a running sound in the hallway, followed by a nervous and rapid knock on the door of their room.

Tang Xiaobai and Jing Yu stood up vigilantly in an instant, and walked to the door to guard against someone breaking in.

But the person outside the door didn't seem to have any intention of breaking in, and after a quick knock on the door rang for a while, seeing that no one answered the door, the other party gradually stopped, but he hadn't left, and began to sob, listening to the voice should be a young woman.

She didn't say anything, just cried lowly, crying like a complaint, complaining and haunting, as if there was a great grievance that could not be resolved.

The crying rang out like this until the end of the day, when there was suddenly no movement. The two waited in the house for another half a moment before Tang Xiaobai opened the door to look.

The white light of the early morning shone in, illuminating the particles of dust floating in the air floating in the corridor.

The door was empty.
