Chapter 57: The Strange Book is Lost
In the early morning of the second day, the five of them set off with their bags in the morning breeze and the dazzling morning sun. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info they went up from the east foot of Hengbu Mountain the day before, and today they went down from the halfway up the mountain to the west foot of Hengbu Mountain. Along the way, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the fun is endless. The bright morning sun flickered, and the hazy morning mist rose.
Quan Ying had to go west and then northwest to Caizhuang, the capital of Cai County, while the four of Dian Yin went down the mountain for a short distance to the west and then went north directly out of the range of the eight counties. They have the same itinerary for two days. In the past two days, Quan Fei saw that Liao Tingyun was still doing his own thing, rarely talking to Su Yue and others, and only rarely talking to Tong Xi. Quan Fei didn't know Liao Tingyun and her person, but he had heard of her reputation, and he regretted asking Su Yue to study the "Wood Qi Spectrum" with them that day. Like her, who is so evil and intolerant in her eyes, if he learns the Qi technique in the book one day, if he disagrees with each other, or has bad intentions, the outcome is unimaginable, but it is impossible to directly withdraw the Qi spectrum to Su Yue. For a while, I was troubled and had nowhere to say. When Su Yue asked, he was just prevaricating.
On this day, he was separated from the four of them, and he was still sullen. When he was in a bad mood, he treated people a lot colder, and he didn't say anything when he said goodbye, and he left by himself.
When the four of them saw this, they were puzzled, and Tong Xi muttered in his mouth, saying that this old man is as strange as Qingzhu. Only Su Yue knew that he had something unspeakable in his heart.
After Quan Ying left, Su Yue thought that Liao Tingyun was sensitive and suspicious by nature, although Quan Shuai said that the three of them learned from each other and understood each other, but after all, the book was handed over to him Su Yue. was thinking about it, and heard Liao Tingyun and Tong Xi who were walking behind talking about idle days, presumably she was not in a bad mood at this time, so she took out a cloth bag wrapped in a parchment book, turned around and handed it to Liao Tingyun and said: "I talked to Quan Shuai about the four of us earlier, and Quan Shuai said that Mr. Qingzhu and Tong Xiaomei are both women, and they have stayed with her for the longest time, and the task of protecting her is also the heaviest, so let me hand over this book to you for safekeeping after he leaves." After speaking, he offered it with both hands.
Quan Fei was in a good mood for a while, and Su Yue picked up the words she used again, and as soon as she was happy, she took it.
After walking for these two days, in fact, I entered the boundary of Cai County, which is the smallest and most remote place among the eight counties, which is mountainous, not to mention other towns, even the capital Cai Zhuang is also a famous mountain city. After saying goodbye to the right owl sullenly, the four of them headed north. In a remote place, sparsely populated, in the evening, I happened to bump into an inn on the side of the road.
The four of them saw the door of the inn pushing, shoving, scolding, and scolding from a distance, and when they approached, a fierce-looking businessman-looking man walked towards them angrily, pointing at the two people who were arguing with him: "This is a black shop that has been abducted and deceived, you must not live!" After saying that, he shook his hand and left, leaving only the two people behind him to beg him for forgiveness, and the other to scold.
Just by looking at the costumes, the two knew that they were the shopkeeper and the man of the inn. Su Yue stepped forward and asked the shopkeeper, "What's going on?" ”
The shopkeeper didn't speak, but the shopkeeper next to him shouted, "This arrogant guest looks rich, but he looks like a barbarian." He dropped something himself, blamed our inn, and the shopkeeper said that he wanted to report to the official, but he refused, and bit us back......"
"Alright, you go in first!" The shopkeeper interrupted him.
When the four of them heard it, it wasn't a big deal, not to mention that there was no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, so they all lived in it. After registering, Tong Xi pushed them to follow the guy to find a room, and asked to pay for the room for the four of them by himself. When Su Yue, Dian Yin and Liao Tingyun followed the guys upstairs, Tong Xi took out a large number of silver tickets and shook them in front of the shopkeeper, and gave them to the shopkeeper in a big way, and the shopkeeper was flustered. Tong Xi said: "What's the matter? Look for my money. ”
The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "Girl, you are also here to bully me." Where is there an inn cash ticket? Let's not talk about whether you can find it or not, here is a poor and remote place, where can I find a ticket number for you? ”
When Tong Xi heard this, he regretted the Haikou he had just boasted of, and then let them pay for it, and he was afraid that they would laugh at him. Therefore, he hesitated. The innkeeper just waited quietly for her to make a decision. The guy who had just come down sneered and said, "The little girl is not very old, but she has the bud of paying on credit." ”
When Tong Xi heard him say this, he was ashamed and ashamed, so he only threw the silver ticket on the counter and said, "I don't have any silver on me, so I only have this silver ticket." If you don't take it, you have to take it. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Then please ask your companion, is there any scattered silver to pay first?" ”
Tong Xi said angrily: "I just boasted about Haikou, now let me beg for money and embarrass people?" ”
The man said: "What a shame is this, anyway, it's all the way, don't you have no money to give them in the future, go to the city, take out the silver from the big ticket number and give it to them?" ”
Tong Xi threw the silver ticket into the counter, and said with a straight face: "You have to accept this silver ticket today!" The shopkeeper hurriedly picked up the silver ticket carefully. The quarrel between the three attracted Su Yue. After the shopkeeper appealed, Su Yue smiled at Tong Xi: "This guest house does not have a cash register, and the shopkeeper's words are reasonable." Tong Xi'er still didn't subside, turned his head and said nothing.
Su Yue took out some loose silver and paid the house money, and said: "This shopkeeper is also an honest man at first glance, you see you bullying him like this, we can't be like that brute just now." What's more, you're still a girl. ”
Tong Xi shook his face and said, "My hometown doesn't have these rules for you." What an honest man, just sanctimonious. ”
"This, this, this ......" The old shopkeeper looked at Su Yue helplessly. Su Yue waved his hand, pulled Tong Xi and went upstairs.
"What a hell of a day I ran into some Yaksha-tempered guests!" The shopkeeper was about to say more, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper.
Tong Xi entered the room, closed the door and opened it again, turned around and looked at Su Yue's back and said: "I think now, what the guest said just now may be right, this may really be a black shop, you see that the inn is so small, and there are no other guests, just a few of us." ”
Su Yue said with a smile: "It's a poor and remote place here, and it's not a New Year's holiday, so it's not normal to have more guests." The four of them opened two rooms together, one for Su Yue and Dian Yin, and one for Liao Tingyun and Tong Xi.
On this night, the wind was clear and the moon was clear. All four of them washed away the fatigue of the road and slept peacefully in the night.
Early the next morning, there was another commotion.
Dianyin is the earliest of the four to get up every day. As soon as he got up, he noticed that the package had been moved, and he faintly smelled a faint smell of smoke in the air. He woke up Su Yue first, and Su Yue got up and rummaged for a while and found that although the package had been turned over, there was no lack of things, clothes, silver taels, and the two way-finding "Suoyu" and "Youzhou Geography and Customs" were all there. Dian Yin hurriedly knocked on the door next door to wake up Tong Xi and Liao Tingyun. Tong Xi ignored it without a word. As soon as Liao Tingyun heard Dian Yin talk about the drug, he sniffed it lightly, was shocked, hurriedly dressed up, opened the window and smoked, and then went to rummage in the package, and then made a big shock. Carrying the package, he walked to Su Yue's room and said to Su Yue: "The cloth bag you gave me with a parchment book is gone!" ”
Su Yue said: "Have you forgotten where you put it?" ”
Liao Tingyun said: "After you gave it to me, I haven't moved!" ”
"Could it be that the little sister forgot where she looked?"
"She fell asleep last night and hasn't woken up yet!"
Su Yue was still pondering. Dian Yin hurriedly said, "Isn't this obvious? Both of our rooms were drugged! Someone must have taken this book! ”
Seeing that Su Yue was still silent, he hurriedly said, "You two wait, I'll call the shopkeeper and the guy from the store to confront him." After speaking, he just turned around to leave, but was stopped by Su Yue.
"Wait!"
Dianyin froze.
"Let me think about it a little longer. You say that if this is really a black shop, can it have the ability to hide it from us? Have this ability to open an inn in this remote corner? ”
Dian Yin said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, who can say clearly?" It would have been strange to open such a small inn on this wilderness. How coincidental is it? It just so happened that we came, and some people said that this is a black shop? ”
Liao Tingyun said: "Last night, my little sister also told me about the silver ticket. Do you think it's because the little sister showed her wealth that made them feel thieves? ”
Su Yue said: "This is even more wrong, I don't have a penny here, what about you?" After speaking, he looked at Liao Tingyun.
Liao Tingyun said: "As soon as I found out that the book was missing, I hurried over and asked, I haven't read anything else carefully!" ”
"Then you go back and have a look first, and then wake up the little sister, let her look through it carefully, and we'll come later." Liao Tingyun got up and went back to the room. Su Yue said to Dian Yin again: "Don't worry, wait until they finish reading." ”
After a while, Liao Tingyun and the sleepy-eyed Tong Rhino came.
As soon as Tong Xi entered the door, he shouted loudly: "I'll just say it, this inn is a black shop, you don't believe me." Well, stolen. ”
Su Yue hurriedly got up and pulled her into the house, closed the door, and said, "Grandma, you be quiet!" ”
Liao Tingyun said: "It's very messy, but except for that book, there is nothing missing." ”
Su Yue said: "This is the boundary of Cai County, and we are not familiar with each other. If there is a master, or if there is a capable person in this inn who can steal the book from our eyes, it is not impossible. ”
When Dian Yin heard this, he knew that Su Yue agreed with him to call the shopkeeper to come over and confront him. went out of the door, and Tong Xi followed behind. Su Yue followed Liao Tingyun to their room to check.
Sure enough, there was nothing missing, except for the book, and the clothes were all there.
It didn't take long for the noisy and shouting from the first floor to the second floor. Pushing open the door, it was Dian Yin pulling Tong Xi, and the innkeeper pulling the guy, and the two of them talked about going back and forth, without giving in.
Liao Tingyun was furious, and his sword fell. The guy only felt a flash of cold light, and a strand of hair fell out of his forehead. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back. When Tong Xi saw it, he was very proud, and he stepped forward and shouted that the guy and the shopkeeper went to see the official.
The guy stood up, pushed Tong Xi away and said: "If you see the official, you will see the official, who is afraid of you, in the past two days, I don't know how to provoke the evil ghosts on that side, and I actually recruited some people who have been abducted and deceived." ”
Tong Xi said: "It's really Zhu Bajie who turned around - and hit a rake." You stole something, and you dare to say that we were cheated and deceived! ”
Liao Tingyun also glared at him. He was not afraid, puffed up his chest and stepped forward to Liao Tingyun and said, "Come on, come on, give me another one!" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed the guy and pulled him back and said, "It's against you, don't you die?" Turning his head, he said to Su Yue with a serious face: "If you want to report to Guancheng, we will go if you go." If you lose something, we will help you find it, and it will be no problem to lose your money, but you can't say that we stole it. ”
Su Yue saw that the shopkeeper had a righteous face, not like a thief. Goodbye to that guy and the shopkeeper, the pace is heavy, he is not born to be a thief, if it is really the two of them, let alone go in and steal things, even if he goes outside the door and smokes, he will wake up.
Who, exactly, is that?
