Chapter 92: Sleepy Twenty-Three
He looked very interested, and the proprietress pushed the two teacups to them and said, "That's it." Did I just say that? I've changed three stores. ”
Wei Wuxian said: "Yes, a jewelry shop, a clothing store, and then this inn." It's going to be years, right? ”
The proprietress sat down and said, "You remember it so clearly." There have been three changes, of course, for many years. Let's start with that jewelry shop!
"I came to this place eight years ago, just in time for the owner of the shop to pack up and sell the shop. At that time, my husband and I came to get a small shop, and we went to talk, so dangerous, so dangerous, almost, I really almost bought that store, and I asked the price! Fortunately, I have a lot of eyes, how can such a big place be so cheap? The owner of the jewelry shop was secretive and refused to say more, so it didn't work out, we bought this one, and another person bought his house and turned it into a clothing store. If you want to say that there is a pie that does not fall from the sky, as a result, something happened! ”
The back of her right hand crackled in the palm of her left hand: "Tell me, how can you do business?" It's harmful! The store was repaired for more than a month to be completed, the first and second floors are clothing stores, and the third floor is where a family lives. The boss has a pair of sons and daughters who have just moved in, and the night before, their youngest son screamed and jumped up to scare the family awake. He rushed down from the third floor and said he saw something strange in his room. ”
Lan Wangji said: "What's it." ”
The proprietress looked shy and said, "...... He said that he saw two red and white figures, hugging each other, and rolling on his bed. I'm afraid that something like a fox demon that loves to seduce people wants to suck his yang energy! ”
Wei Wuxian thought to himself, "To Lan Zhan, this is really a 'strange thing'. He laughed, "It's weird." If it's a fox demon, it's right to take off the stripes, but the two are redundant. They are all hugging each other, how can they still inhale the yang energy of others. ”
The proprietress laughed and said, "That's the truth, it's weird and embarrassing to say...... Anyway, the little son refused to live in the room on the third floor. His father counted him down at first, but after staying for a while, they found that not only one room, but also many rooms on the second and third floors, could see these dirty things! As soon as I entered the house, there were two more people on the bed, hugging each other to do ...... Do...... Sometimes there are more than two. A room without a bed will also have an extra bed for some reason. Close the door and open it again, and there is no more. With such a big house, the family can't find a place to sleep peacefully at night!
Wei Wuxian said solemnly: "Is it the same two people who are hugging each other every time?" Or are they different people? ”
The proprietress said, "Well, I haven't heard of it, I don't think they know about it." Seeing that kind of thing has long been frightened, who has the heart to pay attention to whether it is the same person every time? Only the first floor didn't show up yet, so they slept on the first floor at night. But then it started to make trouble not only at night, but also during the day. The guests who entered the clothing store heard the strange noise. ”
Wei Wuxian said, "Strange sound? ”
Since there are naked figures huddled all over the place at night, it is not difficult to imagine what strange noises will be during the day. He couldn't help but glance at Lan Wangji, and wondered if it was not appropriate for a person who was angry when he was a teenager to look at the Spring Palace to listen to this kind of thing. The proprietress said, "Yes." In broad daylight, they all said that they heard someone playing the piano in the lobby on the first floor. I was curious and went to join in the fun, and I heard it, and it was true. But where did the luthier come from, he didn't even have a piano! ”
Only then did Wei Wuxian know that the "strange voice" was crooked. It happened that Lan Wangji also looked back at him, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Is it!" How does it go? ”
The proprietress said: "It plays quite well, quite wonderful!" ”
Wei Wuxian said: "These things are just making such a fuss, and they don't kill people?" ”
In his opinion, if you don't hurt people's lives, you just make a fuss yourself, there is a "live" spring palace to see, and there is a wonderful sound of the piano to hear, wouldn't it be beautiful. Of course, he only thought in his heart that he would never say such things to a woman. The proprietress said: "No, no, but the thought of having these things in your own home makes people worry all day long, and the warlocks and wandering monks who are found are useless, where is it better!" ”
Wei Wuxian said, "Jianghu Warlock? Why didn't the owner of the clothing shop ask for help from the cultivator family stationed in the town here? ”
After he blurted out the question, he remembered that the immortal cultivator family stationed here in the town was the Yunmeng Jiang clan, and he couldn't help but feel a little chagrin in his heart. Worry reminds Lan Wangji of his unhappiness about last night's events.
The proprietress said, "Where do you dare!" The two sons, you are not locals, you don't know, the boundaries of our Yunmeng area are all under the management of the Jiang family, and the head of that family has a very bad temper and scares people to death. The family members have said a long time ago that a family manages such a large territory, and there are nearly 100 small things that happen every day. If there are no dead people, they are not evil ghosts, and if they are not evil ghosts, don't bother them. She said indignantly: "What kind of nonsense is this, wait for the dead to go to them, isn't it too late!" ”
The non-powerful ghosts and evil spirits and other strict situations do not come out, which is almost an unwritten rule of the larger families. There is only one person who never pays attention to these things.
Everyone knows that Hanguang Jun will come out in times of chaos, and he will never pick the object of night hunting, and he will not come because this demon and monster is not of enough grade to kill and has no reputation. It has been like this since he was young.
The proprietress said again: "Besides, the place in Lotus Dock is too terrifying, where do you dare to go again!" ”
Only then did Wei Wuxian withdraw his gaze from Lan Wangji's side face, and he was stunned, and said, "Lotus Dock is terrifying? How can Lotus Dock be terrifying? Have you been? ”
The proprietress said, "I haven't been to that place before." But then the family was harassed so much that they couldn't stand it, so the owner of the clothing store went once. As a result, it turned out that the Jiang sect master was wielding a purple whip in his hand and pumping people on their schoolyard. That's a bloody one! Screaming! A servant kindly whispered to him that the sect master had caught the wrong person, and he was in a very bad mood these days, and told him not to bump into him to be unhappy, and the owner of the clothing store was so frightened that he put down the gifts he had brought over and ran away, and he didn't dare to go over again. ”
Wei Wuxian had long heard that over the years, Jiang Cheng had been arresting evil monks who were suspected of being reborn, thinking that the owner of the clothing shop had just bumped into him to vent his hatred.
It is not difficult to imagine what Jiang Cheng would have been like at that time.
The proprietress said: "So, the owner of the clothing store barely persevered for a few years, but he still couldn't hold on, sold the store, and left again." This is the inn now. The boss doesn't believe in evil, but he wants to try, guess what? This time, he didn't see a naked figure with white flowers, and he didn't hear the melodious sound of the piano. His family's meals always smell of burnt meat. As long as you sit in the guest room on the second and third floors, you will feel very hot, hot and stuffy. When I sleep until midnight, I will have nightmares, dreaming that the house is on fire, and a charred corpse is rolling around me screaming, spewing black smoke from my mouth! ”
Wei Wuxian said: "It's amazing, it's become fierce!" ”
The proprietress said: "No, it's much more fierce than before!" The innkeeper also invited a few monks and Taoists to no avail, so he went to the Lotus Dock to ask for Sect Master Jiang. ”
Wei Wuxian said, "Then why hasn't it been solved yet?" "Could it be that Jiang Cheng happened to be pumping people again? How often does he arrest people, and how diligently does he pump people?
The proprietress said, "No, no. This time it was also his bad luck. The innkeeper's surname is Wen, and the great enemy of the Jiang sect master is also surnamed Wen, and when he sees the surname Wen, he gritted his teeth with hatred......"
Wei Wuxian lowered his head, pinched his eyebrows, and remained silent. Fortunately, he didn't need words, and after babbling for so long, the proprietress summed up contentedly: "Ouch, you see, I'm a woman, and I'm scared to talk about this kind of thing." Sooner or later, that family will have to fail, and the business will be bad. Let's look at it, in another year at most, it will definitely close again, and the store will leave! The kind of store is big and magnificent, but people are uneasy when they live in it, or is it better to have a small inn like ours, right? ”
Wei Wuxian looked up and smiled, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
The proprietress confided for a while, saying that after her husband died, it was not easy for her to support the store alone, and that there were always rough men who came to beat her little guys. When he was leaving, he suddenly remembered, and turned around and said, "Do you two want to eat our food here?" Our chefs are very good! ”
Wei Wuxian said, "Yes." But don't do it now, let's send it later. Let's take a break and walk the streets. ”
It's just over now, and the proprietress goes out with a lot of promises. She walked on the front foot, and Wei Wuxian closed the door on the back foot, saying, "It doesn't sound too tricky, you can deal with it first." ”
If it's tricky, I'll put it aside and deal with it later. Now it seems that no one has died, and it can be ended at will, so naturally we should take advantage of the rest here to solve this scourge and restore peace to the inn.
Lan Wangji reached over and pressed his pulse.
Although he knew that this was just to check his physical condition, Wei Wuxian's other hand under the table curled up slightly as the two white and slender fingers traveled up his wrists and slowly rubbed them.
It took nearly two hours to check and adjust, and then take a short rest to recuperate, and then the two of them went downstairs and went out together, ready to go to the inn that had changed hands three times.
Lan Wangji went to the counter first to pay the deposit that he had forgotten. Staring at his back for a while, suddenly, Wei Wuxian seemed to have made up his mind, and whispered to the side, "Boss lady." ”
The proprietress said, "What? ”
Wei Wuxian said, "When you deliver food in the evening, please get some wine." The more energetic, the better. ”
The proprietress smiled: "That's nature! ”
