Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Human Meat Bun Shop
"The third senior brother is so cute. Alas, the little junior sister is so cute~ Of course it has to be paired with cute things~" Then the fourth senior sister clapped her hands, and a pair of blue birds flew behind Gu Xiaoxiao. Then one of them flew to the middle of Gu Xiaoxiao's forehead, and with a tap, it turned into a cyan mark on the back of his hand. "Remember, the little cutie will call me Sister Mu in the future. ”
"Thank you, Sister Mu, but what is this?" Gu Xiaoxiao originally wanted to touch the back of her left hand with her right hand. As a result, there was a small cub hanging from his right hand, which was a bit heavy, so he could only raise his left hand in front of him to take a look.
It's a cyan moire.
"Well, you'll know when you have someone you like in the future. The senior sister blinked mischievously and made a shushing motion. Then he looked at it with a smile and stopped talking.
Then Gu Xiaoxiao received more than a dozen gifts. The favorite is still the little cub on her arm.
Give it the name Nguyen Bai. Because it's soft and white.
Two days later, Gu Xiaoxiao stepped on Zhan Yan's sword and headed northwest.
This is a small town in the south of the border. It's very desolate, it's already sparsely populated, and what happened this year has made the population even more sparse.
The strange thing is that it was not a local who asked for help, but a family who passed by here half a year ago. And I received the distress call and found that the distress call was five months ago, so where did the five months go?
Originally, it wasn't Gu Xiaoxiao who followed Zhan Yan. It was Zang Qianzi who forcibly brought Gu Xiaoxiao over, because Gu Xiaoxiao's words and spirits need to be experienced, and they can realize more between life and death.
Zhan Yan is very powerful and can protect Gu Xiaoxiao, so Zang Qianzi can rest assured.
Gu Xiaoxiao's head was on Ruan Bai. Ruan Bai became acquainted with Gu Xiaoxiao, and settled on her arms, head, and shoulders. My favorite is the top of Gu Xiaoxiao's head. But lately it's grown up a bit. Gu Xiaoxiao felt very heavy against it, and didn't let it settle down in her head.
Finally had an opportunity to lie on top of Gu Xiaoxiao's head, Ruan Bai squinted comfortably, it went from a fist to a hand. A little longer can be wrapped around the neck.
Before they reached the town, they went down in a place not close to it.
"Eh, what about the customer?" the shopkeeper asked numbly, and his tone was still a little unhappy and expelled. The place felt like a smell of dust enveloping it. There is not much vegetation, and there are a few sheep scattered in the meadow, gnawing on the grass that is almost bald.
"Stay. Two upper rooms. One day. Zhan Yan looked at the shopkeeper at the counter.
"Okay, thirty-eight cents, do you want bath water?" The shopkeeper's eyes made people very uncomfortable, as if they had seen a fat sheep. Greedy and covetous.
"No, I don't. ”
"Don't you really need to be a guest? I'm tired from coming from afar, so why don't you take a hot bath and relax?" said the shopkeeper in a gentle tone.
"No, I don't. Just stay for one night. Zhan Yan had a strange look between his eyebrows, and then took a deep look at the shopkeeper. Let him slap the spirit.
"Okay, no, no, Ergou, take them to the second floor. The shopkeeper's tone was flattering and a little impatient.
Gu Xiaoxiao was a little angry, if it weren't for this inn, she would definitely not come to live here. It doesn't feel very clean yet.
As soon as Gu Xiaoxiao came in, she felt very depressed and gloomy. The uncomfortable sensation spreads to all pores. But there was nowhere else, they needed to change their clothes and ask about the town.
The shopkeeper was far away, but he reluctantly came over when he heard the shopkeeper's shout.
"What's wrong Ergou, give you food and money, and work is still reluctant?" the shopkeeper glared at him angrily.
"No, no, I'll take them there. The shopkeeper's impatient expression suddenly retracted. I become expressionless.
"Guest, let's go. He looked at them as if they were two dead men.
"Hmm. ”
Gu Xiaoxiao pulled the corner of Zhan Yan's clothes, waited for him to lower his head and asked, "Brother Yan, is there a problem here?"
"Hmm. Then Zhan Yan rubbed Gu Xiaoxiao's head.
It's winter, Gu Xiaoxiao is wearing a cloak, and Ruan Bai has already climbed on her shoulder as a well-behaved pendant.
As soon as he came here, he saw this inn, and he was very angry, and the heavy inn became black. There are very few people around, and it can be said that there are no people.
It is not common for an inn to be opened in a less populated place, and although the inn is inhabited by travelers, it is also a restaurant from another place.
Entering the room, the shopkeeper carried the teapot and hummed from his nose, "Guest, there are bandits here and there are many dead." Then he didn't say anything else, put down the tea and left.
Gu Xiaoxiao was a little thirsty, poured a cup of tea, and took a big sip.
Then he stuck out his tongue, "This tea is so strong, it's so bitter." Then he lifted the lid, and the tea leaves in the small half of the teapot were boiled, and the tea was a little dark.
Gu Xiaoxiao was a little skeptical that she had been poisoned. But obviously impossible, buckle the lid of the pot and smack your tongue, it's so bitter, the tip of your tongue is bitter. Don't you need money for this tea?
When Zhan Yan heard this, something flashed in his eyes, "The shopkeeper is a good one." ”
"Huh?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said this inexplicably. Picked up the package, "Brother Yan, I'm going to clean up the next room." ”
"No, you just sleep here tonight, I'll meditate next to me. No...... You can just get the quilt out of your personal shape. We're going next door tonight. ”
Gu Xiaoxiao turned her head and understood, she is a writer anyway, and her thinking is broad.
Hey, human meat buns.
Let's just say what's wrong here. Great, it's exciting tonight. Gu Xiaoxiao thought about the plot that would only happen tonight, and the whole person was a little excited, thinking about what method they would use tonight.
For example, a hole in a paper window, and then a long pipe comes in, blows some messy smoke in, and then they "faint".
Then he came in with a pig-killing knife and slashed one by one. The next day they were fresh buns.
Gu Xiaoxiao changed her clothes and wore cotton flower clothes. It was made for her by the nurse. When she was a child, her clothes were often broken, and the nurse took the clothes made of strong cotton cloth for her, which were sturdy but not very good-looking, and they were very festive to wear.
The nurse is old, sixty years old, and she knew that Gu Xiaoxiao was leaving, so she sewed two belts for her, so she didn't use it. It's not good to wear it. Especially in small towns, it will be particularly eye-catching.
Zhan Yan was in the room at the beginning, and he would come over at night.
Gu Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a notebook and writing something.
That's right, she picked up the interesting thing again. Now she has a big brain, and she can write anything at her fingertips. In the past few days, I have three or four stalks in my mind, so I will remember them for the time being. Go back and improve it.
Gu Xiaoxiao put down the pen and rubbed her shoulder, which was a little sore, it was already dark.
Gu Xiaoxiao was lying by the window, it was strange that the window here was only open by the corridor. Most inns are open on the outside side for light and scenery.
Hey, hey, hey. Got it, got it, insider. If you can't run out, you can only be a human meat bun.
The room was dark, with only a few candles. Shadow-mottled.
Gu Xiaoxiao jumped out of bed, opened the door just to see that Zhan Yan's door was also open, and the shopkeeper was standing on the side of the stairs with a candlestick, and the candle oil was dripping on his hands. As if he didn't feel anything, he was hidden in the darkness, and half of his face was not clear yet.
scared Gu Xiaoxiao a lot.
Hearing Gu Xiaoxiao's exclamation, the shopkeeper came back to his senses, looked at them, and said a little sluggishly, "Guest, are you eating?"
The eyes are straight and inexplicably a little scary.
"No need. Zhan Yan frowned and walked over to Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Okay, heavier late at night, stay safe. Then he lowered his head and went downstairs.
"Let's go inside. Zhan Yan patted Gu Xiaoxiao's stunned head. "What do you think?"
"He's reminding us. Gu Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at Zhan Yan and followed into the room. Gu Xiaoxiao sat on the table, the tea was already cold, but the hot tea was not replaced, this is a place where there is a shortage of water. Something like tea comes at an additional cost. It's also very expensive.
"Yes, the government can't control it here. Zhan Yan sat on the other side and buckled the teacup.
"Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and this place is too desolate, the government can't manage it and doesn't want to take care of it, right?" Gu Xiaoxiao took down the little cub who was a little commotion on her neck, put it on the table, took out the beef jerky, fed it, and used it as a teething stick.
Xiao Tuanzi hugged the beef jerky and gnawed on a small horn, leaving a few shallow pits.
"Go on. Zhan Yan looked at her appreciatively.
"This inn is what the shopkeeper said, bandits. Just now, Xiao Er said it more deeply, that is, he will do it in the middle of the night. But we're not afraid. Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and narrowed her eyes.
"Well, it's not early, go to bed, I'll just sit here. Zhan Yan looked at the sky, it was very late, the lantern in the corridor was on, but the lantern at their door was broken, Zhan Yan blew out the candle, it was dark, and there were no five fingers.
Gu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Gu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and was lying on the bed, the bed curtain was lifted, and she could see Zhan Yan sitting at the table, a person who cultivates immortals, night vision is always good. Gu Xiaoxiao's heart was pounding.
"Can't sleep?" Probably because Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were too focused, Zhan Yan turned his head and asked with bright eyes.
"Sort of. Gu Xiaoxiao withdrew her eyes and closed her eyes. Lashes flutter gently.
"I'm here, it's okay, sleep in peace. Hearing this, Zhan Yan's eyes were gentle and comforting, he thought that Gu Xiaoxiao was frightened.
"Well, don't worry. Gu Xiaoxiao smiled secretly, and the pear nest at the corner of her mouth came out.
"Sleep, good dreams. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, the squirming movement came out, and Zhan Yan's eyes at the table that were closed and pretended to sleep opened at once, and there was a little confusion somewhere.
A thin tube directly broke the paper window, and then there were a few wisps of smoke, which were quite fragrant, and there was not much movement, at least Gu Xiaoxiao didn't wake up.
Then after a long while, the door opened.
Probably used to doing this kind of thing, he was not afraid at all, and came in directly, but he was tied with a rope by Zhan Yan and hung on the beam. Still gaged.
