Chapter 256: Awakening from a Dream
Suddenly, my other hand was also grabbed by him: "Shallow, I don't know who I am...... Tell me, who am I, huh?" Qi Jingyuan pressed my hand back into a soft collapse, and the person also pressed it down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tip of his nose almost touched mine: "Quack quack......"
Qi Jingyuan's laughter became weird, and I watched as the corners of his mouth became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a downward skimming fish mouth...... He's become a crossfish! The crossfish, which I killed with Gao Yuanli!
I was about to open my mouth when I froze when the fish in front of me suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit at me!
It's over, little girl, I'm going to die here......
"Little girl, little girl?" an abrupt voice crashed into my head, and someone kept shaking me. I frowned and opened my eyes, but the person who was shaking me was the shopkeeper. Best wishes to the shopkeeper...... By the way, I'm at Penglai Inn now, and I'm asleep.
When the shopkeeper saw me wake up, she let go of her hand, which was trying to pull out the world's majesty, and glanced at me with Liu Ye's eyebrows: "I thought that your sister-in-law was going to die in my shop, and I scared the old lady to death." ”
I blinked, and the terrible scenes began to pour into my mind, in addition to those weird and terrifying scenes, and the reasons why I was in this Penglai Inn also came one after another.
The headache was terrible, stuffy and heavy. Feeling weak, I felt that my shirt was **, and the fine hair on my forehead was also attached to my face. Sitting up on the bed, I wish the shopkeeper to quickly stuff a pillow behind my back.
"You're really scared to death, it's a high fever and you can't wake up, Lang Zhong has been stuck with a needle and hasn't woken up for a long time. Fang Cai closed his eyes and was shocked with a miserable face...... Tsk, what are you dreaming about? The people who caught elopement are chasing you? Or are you ......?"
Zhu shopkeeper wiped my sweat with a towel while frowning and counting me: "Or do you dream that you are immersed in a pig cage?
"And where the hell did your handsome lover go?" she squeezed my forehead hard, "Did you dream that he didn't want you?"
I smiled wryly: "No, it's just a general nightmare." Well, it's scary. I don't even know I'm sick, thank you for waking me up, and looking for Langzhong. ”
"Little girl, I didn't do this for nothing. "I wish the shopkeeper a slanted eyebrow.
"Yes. These will be included in the price of the room and will be settled when we check out. As soon as I opened my mouth, I noticed that my mouth was very dry. However, fortunately, there is no big reaction in the throat, which is normal.
I rubbed my forehead, it was still hot and burning. It turned out to be a fever, no wonder it was so uncomfortable in the dream.
Just in time, the shopkeeper pushed the door in. He carried a delicate table of mahogany peonies with two bowls on it.
One bowl is a black medicinal soup with a bitter taste. In the other red lacquer bowl is a honey fruit of the same color as the lacquer bowl, which is covered with sugar juice, bright and bright, causing people to drool. Uh, I think I'm hungry.
"Let's drink the medicinal soup first, and if you're afraid of bitterness, you can eat the honey fruit next to you. Drink it three times, you don't skip it. "I wish the shopkeeper to hand me the medicinal soup.
I was a little surprised: "Zhu shopkeeper, you usually care so much about your guests?" or ...... I didn't ask the rest of the story, it's okay if you're too curious, but if you have too long a mouth, you'll bring disaster to yourself.
"What are you talking about, old lady, I don't have so much spare time to serve guests. It's all the little second brother and the little maidservant girl in the store who do it. Today, the little maid found out that something was wrong with you and ran to tell me, I am so good to you, I am afraid that you will die in my shop, don't think too much. ”
After wishing the shopkeeper to speak, he picked up a thumb-sized honey fruit and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
I didn't ask, and obediently took the bitter medicine and drank it all in one go. The nightmare is still lingering in my mind, and I have to get better as quickly as possible, and I can't delay any time.
Even though it was just a dream, and a strange dream that I had been thinking about for a long time, there was no doubt that I wanted to save the fox as soon as possible.
"You have a good rest, and if there is anything uncomfortable, pull the bell string in the room. Don't be as stupid as a stuffy gourd, if something happens, my little shop won't be doing well. ”
The shopkeeper pinched my shoulder, which made me extremely suspicious that she was rubbing the syrup on me from the honey fruit just now.
"Thank you to the shopkeeper, I was sick in my sleep last night, and I didn't know it. However, I will drink the medicine well and there will be no next time. ”
"Last night, little girl, you were sick the night before yesterday, and it wasn't until yesterday that Chunling, who came in to clean it, found out that Lang Zhong applied needles several times to stabilize your high fever. You've been asleep for a day and a night. ”
"Uh, yes. Trouble shopkeeper. Please thank the shopkeeper for me. "I've been sick for so long, and I don't know what's going on with the stall owners on the black market.
My eyebrows and feet couldn't help twitching, but the shopkeeper got up and straightened the hem of his skirt, and left with a gust of fragrant wind. After I drank the medicine, I stuffed a honey fruit into my mouth, which was sweet but not greasy, and it was really delicious.
When I recovered some energy in the afternoon, I immediately got up from the bed, cleaned up and left the Penglai Inn.
It wasn't far from here to the pier where the lanterns were sold, so I put on yesterday's mask, put on a green coat, and rushed to the pier before dark. Then, I carried the lantern and galloped to find the stall owner.
It was the agreed meeting time.
He did bring men, but only eight, not ten. The stall owner wrote the reason on the white stone, saying that the other two people did not take jobs for the time being because their wives had given birth to children.
I paid the stall owner the hard money for pulling the strings in the middle, and I also took a pen to discuss the deposit with him.
I can't tell if it's a real master. But Gao was different, he could tell the difference, and in order to make sure that I had not spent money in vain, I decided that I would pay the deposit to them myself.
The premise is that they go back to the inn with me first, and they will not make a decision until Gao gradually leaves.
I also added a condition: if Gao is satisfied, I will give each of them an extra five taels of gold after the operation is successful. However, if Gao is not satisfied, then there will be no gold or two.
The stall owner was still hesitating, but someone grabbed his pen and wrote the word "deal". I hooked my lips, and it seemed that these eight people were very confident in their abilities.
"I wonder what kind of beast this guest is trying to kill?" As soon as I left the black market, someone immediately accosted me. They also took off their masks and were not afraid to be seen. However, the light emitted by the dim lantern is not very clear.
I even think that this is deliberately done by the guards of the black market, so that the people who enter the black market will not be recognized.
