Chapter 106: See the Man Again
"I don't know how many years this inn has been deserted. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" put down a matter of thought, the tone of the detached was rare and brisk, looking at this dilapidated house and commenting, suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and asked, "Huh, Aunt Yan, didn't you say that this snowy region will corrode everything? Why is most of this inn still standing here." Haven't it been many days?"
The west side of this house is almost collapsing, isn't there half of it left?
Ning Pingyan glanced at Liluo with disgust, then pointed to the wood exposed in the wind and snow, and said, "Look at that wood, but it is the only Yuanchi tree that can grow in the snowy region, looking at this level, I am afraid that this inn has passed at least a thousand years." ”
Millennium?
Liluo was taken aback by the number.
As it happens, the wind is blowing again.
The thing that was hanging on the top of the wood before was like a flag and a cloth towel was blown over suddenly, and the wind was very strong, and I saw that the thing was getting closer and closer, until it was close at hand, and when I raised my hand subconsciously, I caught it.
It's cloth.
It's about half an arm's length, and it doesn't look very regular, but the edges are extremely neat, as if they were cut by a sharp blade. There seemed to be dark red dots on it, and some kind of pattern painted in dark brown. It's just that the whole cloth is so dusty that I can't tell what it is.
Li Luo frowned, looked at the dirty cloth towel in his hand, and subconsciously rubbed it twice with his fingertips.
Excellent touch.
Smooth as fine silk and as warm as mutton fat jade, this cloth is not as rough as it appears, and there is no other slippery or uncomfortable feeling due to stains.
If she closed her eyes, she would definitely think that the steps in her hand were the cloud brocade that the dignitaries and dignitaries in the world loved to use.
"What's wrong?Chang Li?what's wrong?" Ning Pingyan called.
"No, no. Liluo looked up and replied with a smile.
"Then let's move on. Ning Pingyan looked at the dilapidated inn, "It's good to go in and have a look when you arrive." ”
Liluo responded slightly, and then lowered his eyes, looking at the fabric, and didn't know what he was thinking.
In the middle of the night, the five fingers opened, the mountain wind swept by, and soon, the cloth could not be hung, rolled twice, and then blew back.
……
Although it was made of deep red wood, he looked at the tattered stairs under his feet, and he could almost step on the empty stairs with one foot, and he showed a little hesitation when he fell away.
When he was thinking about where to put his feet, his arm suddenly tightened, but at first glance, it was a man's slender hand.
looked at her in surprise, only to see Ning Minxiu pursing her lips slightly, and gently dragged her away, but she stepped up the stairs.
As the two men staggered, she heard the man whisper, "I'm coming." ”
Thinking of what Ning Minxiu said before, Liluo said thank you in a low voice, and did not brush off the man's kindness, and followed closely to the position of half a step behind, looking at the room defensively and vigilantly.
But they were too careful.
There was nothing in it.
The empty house, the old and dilapidated staircase, the crumbling rubble underfoot, and the small piece of empty roof poured in the ink-like light outside.
The fine dust is visible in this light.
"Ahem. Ning Pingyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough lightly, while looking at the inn furnishings, she said, "I think this is still a big inn." ”
Ning Minxiu had already roughly inspected the first floor and found no problems, so she went up to the second floor again, seemed to go into the inner room to look, and only came out after a while, and said to the two people below on the second floor.
"Aunt Yan, are you going to settle here tonight?" he looked back with some hesitation, "Although this house is old and empty, it is much better than the cave before. ”
"Really?" Ning Pingyan asked curiously, but she didn't answer first, but with a little interest, she held Liluo and followed her up to take a look, wanting to see what the furnishings were like thousands of years ago.
It's just that except for the tables and chairs made by Aribuchi Chimu, there is nothing left.
Ning Pingyan had some unfinished regrets, but at the end, she still stepped out of the room, and said as she walked, "It's rare that the snow has stopped, let's still rush for a while, and when we are tired, we can find a place to rest for an hour or two." ”
"Yes. ”
The two of them responded in unison, and followed Ning Pingyan down the stairs, and at this moment, the sound of rustling sounded from downstairs.
Liluo looked vigilantly, but he didn't think that someone was coming.
Or is it someone familiar......
Liluo squinted slightly, looking at the old and young who stepped into the door, and did not speak.
And Ning Pingyan and Ning Minxiu also saw this scene, and couldn't help but stop, their eyes were full of suspicion, wanting to see this behavior of the old and the young.
But there was nothing wrong with the two of them, and the old man took the burden from the rickety's shoulders with a calm expression, took the child's hand, and looked around, as if he wanted to find a place to stay.
However, the first floor was littered with rubble, wood slag, and thick snow at the corners, and the wind blew from the doorway, making it shiver with cold, and it was obviously not a place to stay overnight.
Soon, the old man's cloudy eyes saw several wings on the east side of the second floor.
As if he had an idea, he pulled the child and slowly climbed the stairs.
He lowered his head, as if he was looking at the road under his feet, and did not greet them, just like those beggars in the world who are wise enough to protect themselves and try to minimize their sense of existence, and do not quarrel with others, nor can they afford to argue, for fear of bumping into the nobles.
The three of them unanimously leaned close to the handrail of the stairs on one side, and watched an old and a young walk past them, until they stepped into the room they had just visited, and were out of sight, and then withdrew their gaze.
"I think something happened at that inn. Ning Minxiu said softly, but her voice was unexpectedly a little indistinct.
I'm afraid I was found to have not enough money on my body later, and I was kicked out by the store.
Ning Pingyan thought about the clothes she had seen clearly when the two of them passed by just now, and she guessed to herself, and there was a faint sympathetic realization in her heart.
It's just that Ning Minxiu crossed over Ning Pingyan, glanced at the thoughtful departure, her eyes were heavy, and she didn't say a word.
……
Until the three of them stepped out of the dilapidated room, Liluo couldn't help but look back at the second floor, where there was no one in sight.
As the old and the young walked past them, she felt for some reason that they were walking separately, not because they were acting the way they did, but because they were ......
They don't seem to be able to see them.
Was it her delusion?
……
This radius of a hundred miles seems to be a continuous mountain range.
In the end, the three of them did not choose to cross the snowy mountain, but walked around the outer mountain range.
If the mountain range in front of this snowy region is one, then if you follow the detour, you will always reach the avenue outside the Sky Eagle Castle that Ning Pingyan said.
The cold wind in the second half of the night blew and got into the neckline, and Liluo unconsciously shrunk his neck and stepped up.
Perhaps the sky was still good along the way, the snow had not fallen, and although the sky was dark and treacherous, the blue of the sky as bright as the stars gave people enough light to shine into the road ahead. (To be continued.) )
