The dust of last night has not yet had time to calm down, and the lanterns of large households seem to still have dim yellow candlelight to shine through, but when you look closely, it is the refraction of the morning light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the lobby of the Shuiyue Inn, the oil lamp finally ran out of the last drop of oil and went out, but a figure stood up by the faint light of the morning light, it was the stone shopkeeper.

Last night, the city lord Sun Long was seriously injured and unconscious, and was carried away by his two servants, and the guests in the inn did not want to be affected by the pond fish after learning the identity of the owner, so most of them left the inn overnight, and did not even ask for a refund of the money when they left.

As for the few guests who stayed, Shopkeeper Shi didn't think about why they didn't leave, and he didn't have time to think about it, after all, he couldn't protect himself!

And the shopkeeper Shi thought that after the incident, the City Lord's Mansion would definitely send someone to arrest the culprit who injured Sun Long as soon as possible, and even the City Lord would come in person.

So he's been sitting in the lobby of the inn since last night, not caring about the guests leaving, just paying attention to whether there are three people mixed with stones.

Because he knew that if he let the three stone people who caused the trouble leave the inn, he would really have no way to live.

However, the shopkeeper sat down all night, neither saw the three of Shi leave, nor did he wait for any people from the City Lord's Mansion, but only ushered in countless mosquitoes, which almost sucked away his blood.

"Strange?" shopkeeper Shi gently stroked the long hair on the black mole on his chin with two fingers, his face full of contemplation.

Suddenly, he stood up suddenly, but he fell down again, his legs trembling slightly, as if he had been numb from sitting for a long time.

……

In the room of "North 203", the stone is being sorted and dressed.

Although he slept late last night, he had already developed the habit of getting up early in Taiqingmen for several years, and with his cultivation today, even if he didn't sleep for two or three days, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Knock knock!" there was a knock on the door.

"My little sister, the door is unlocked, and I want to tell you a few times!" Shi smiled.

"Crunch!" the door opened.

"Childe is early! Lao Yu just made a pot of tea and specially sent it to moisten his throat. The stone shopkeeper of the inn stood in the doorway, carrying a steaming teapot in his hand.

Shi Shi was stunned when he heard this, he thought it was white snow, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"Thank you Shopkeeper Shi, please come in and sit!"

"Childe was polite, saying that this pot of tea should have been delivered in person last night, but it was delayed because of some trivial matters, and then ...... Later, I was afraid of disturbing a few distinguished guests, so I didn't come again, but the old man has been thinking about it, and he came early in the morning, and I hope that the prince will not blame!"

For the implicit words of the shopkeeper Shi, how could the stone not hear the implication, he wanted to mock, saying that it wasn't sent by the shopkeeper last night!

But after thinking about it, I felt that if I really said that, it might cause the vigilance of the shopkeeper Shi, and if I hurt the shopkeeper because of this, I would be a little reluctant to go, so I gave up.

"Where is the stone shopkeeper? If you want to apologize, it should be me who apologizes first, last night's incident caused trouble to your store, and all the losses caused are mine, please calculate it, and report back to me a number." ”

Shi straightened his clothes, walked to the square table, and sat down gently.

"Childe is serious, although the shop is not profitable, but there is still money to repair the door, and the responsibility is no longer Gongzi, how can Gongzi bear it?" said the shopkeeper with a smile.

"Thank you so much to Shopkeeper Shi. The stone thanked him.

"Childe doesn't have to be polite. The shopkeeper said, took out two tea bowls, and poured the tea he brought.

"Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" asked the shopkeeper Shi.

"Speaking of coincidence, he is also surnamed Shi in the next, and has the same surname as the shopkeeper. Stone replied.

"Oh, it's really a coincidence, but I don't know where Shi Gongzi is from?

Shi didn't answer in a hurry, Xiangyun Village, where he was born, was isolated from the world, although he had the same surname as the innkeeper, but the two could never have any kinship.

And now he is a disciple of Baicao Peak of Taiqing Sect and lives in Baicao Garden, but it is inconvenient for him to tell others at will.

The stone suddenly smelled a smell of tea, and knew what was going on, so he was not polite, and reached out to pick up the tea bowl, and took a small sip from the mouth of the bowl, and the tea passed through the tongue and spread to the tongue coating, and then stimulated the taste buds.

"Good tea!" the stone said, putting down the tea bowl and complimenting.

Seeing this, the stone shopkeeper's pupils shrank, and his heart was shocked.

He thought that he had known countless people and seen countless people in his life, and yesterday he noticed the eyes of the stone, although they were black and white, but they did not look bright, and they must have been ill or blind, but they could not be confirmed.

Therefore, when the shopkeeper Shi was pouring tea and handing over the water just now, he did not say anything to him, and even deliberately lightened his hand movements, the purpose was to test.

But now he was even more uncertain, and he saw that the stone had reached out and closed his hand, and a series of movements were so precise and skillful, that he did not look like a blind person.

"Haha, the old man just asked casually, and it didn't hurt that Shi Gongzi was inconvenient to answer. The stone shopkeeper laughed.

"Thank you for your understanding, but our home is hundreds of miles away from here, and we live in the mountains, and most of us have no relatives with the outside world. Stone smiled apologetically and said.

"I see!" the stone shopkeeper said lightly, looking like he wanted to say something.

Shi smiled secretly in his heart, he had long known that the shopkeeper of the inn Shi had come to visit so early in the morning, and he would definitely not just bring him tea, thinking that this was to cut to the chase.

Sure enough, but the shopkeeper Wenshi coughed lightly.

"I think Shi Gongzi also understands people, so I won't go around the corner, dare to ask Shi Gongzi if you know who was injured by you last night?"

"Naturally, I know that after the incident last night, it was like a frying pan outside, and the words I vaguely heard the most were 'The eldest son of the city lord was killed' and 'It is important to escape', and the person who wanted to enter my house and failed to steal is the so-called son of the city lord of Lucheng!"

"Burglary?" said the stone shopkeeper in surprise.

"What's the matter? I led someone to pry open my door in the middle of the night, isn't it a burglary?"

"Shi Gongzi is not joking with the old man? The son of the lord of the city of Lucheng, who enjoys mountains of gold and silver, how can he covet other people's property and steal?"

"It's not stealing, is it?" said the stone with a frightened look on his face, his hands folded around his chest.

"Shi Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" said the shopkeeper Shi in confusion.

"Could it be that the man has a habit of breaking sleeves?" exclaimed the stone.

The shopkeeper Shi only felt that the qi and blood all over his body rushed to his head, and he was dizzy, of course he knew why Sun Long, the eldest prince of the city lord, sneaked into the "North 202" room late at night, but he couldn't say.

And he didn't know why the guest room that was supposed to be the residence of the two stunning fairies ended up sleeping with the man in front of him, but he didn't dare to ask.

"Shi Gongzi thought too much. ”

"Oh, it must be 'touching porcelain', otherwise it won't make sense. "The stone relaxes the body, a serious way.

The shopkeeper was furious when he heard this, he snorted heavily, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly.

"Shi Gongzi!"

"Hmm! The stone answered, his face was calm, but his heart was already happy.

"The old man is sincere to Shi Gongzi, and he puts his heart in his heart, but Shi Gongzi either avoids answering or deliberately teases the old man, let me ask Shi Gongzi what kind of intentions he has?" said the stone shopkeeper angrily.

"Then dare to ask what is the purpose of the shopkeeper Shi's here?" the stone asked rhetorically.

"Hmph! If you seriously injure the eldest son of the city lord, you will be severely punished by the city lord's mansion, and with the character of the city lord Sun who will take revenge and protect his short-sightedness, it is his most beloved eldest son who is injured. Shopkeeper Shi snorted coldly and said angrily.

The stone looked pale and frowned slightly.

"Oh, but the cause of the incident is that his eldest son Sun entered the house with a bad plot first, even if the city lord protects his shortcomings, he can't be unreasonable, right?"

"Heh, you are so young and naïve, the truth is all set by their family, how can you reason with them? And I originally thought that the city lord's mansion would send someone to arrest you and others overnight, but I didn't think that there would be no one until now, but I guess this is the calm before the storm, and people will come without a stick of incense. ”

Shi didn't answer, he knew that what the stone shopkeeper said was true, and he had wondered why the City Lord's Mansion had not moved for a long time, after all, he was seriously injured by the son of the City Lord, and it would be too unreasonable to pass it so peacefully.

But Shi Shi is optimistic and open-minded by nature, and after thinking fruitlessly, he will no longer delve into it, and he still has a big reliance, that is, Zi Ling.

Imagine having a senior sister who is an elder of the Taiqing Sect by his side, although the Central Plains is big, what is there to worry about? And even if there is really any Longtan tiger's den, conspiracy and trickery, just run.

Where did the shopkeeper know what the stone was thinking, but when he saw the stone showing a deep groan, he thought he was afraid, and couldn't help but snicker secretly.

"Shi Gongzi, what the old man said just now may be a bit heavy, but every sentence is to the point, and there is no false intimidation. The stone shopkeeper said solemnly.

"Hehe!" the stone laughed when he heard this.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of the stone was even more convinced that the stone was stunned, and turned to a laughing look.

"But Shi Gongzi doesn't have to worry, there is a plan for the old decay, which can help Shi Gongzi get out safely, and even it is very possible to get a blessing in disguise. ”

The stone was slightly stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself that the true face of the stone shopkeeper of the inn was here.

"Wangshi shopkeeper said clearly, ask the stone shopkeeper to save me. The stone grabbed the hand of the stone shopkeeper as if grasping a life-saving straw, and pretended to look panicked.

"Okay, it's just that the old man's plan is a bit unacceptable. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"Shi Gongzi, you only need to give the two women who are traveling with you to the City Lord's Mansion, and this matter can probably be resolved, maybe when the City Lord is happy, he will reward you with an errand, it will be a blessing in disguise. The stone shopkeeper said.

Shi Shi's expression was serious, he didn't expect it to be such a strategy, and his heart was furious, but just when he was about to teach Shi Shopkeeper a lesson, he suddenly realized something.

"Shopkeeper Shi, your plan is simply wonderful. Stone said with a smile, giving a thumbs up.

"Yes, so Shi Gongzi agreed?" Shopkeeper Shi was excited and stood up.

"Agreed, but it's useless for me to agree, you have to ask the person if you want to, so please turn around. The stone raised his hand and pointed to the door.

"Hmph!" A cold snort sounded, and on a midsummer day, the temperature plummeted, like a falling ice cellar.
