Chapter 9: Moon Shadow Lost Sand

After being beckoned to the guest room by the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper wanted to leave, but asked Mu Chen to stop, as soon as the shopkeeper heard Mu Chen stop him, he seemed to know what was going to happen, and his eyes were full of helplessness and turned around and asked, "Is there anything else wrong with the guest officer?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Heh, it's nothing, I just want to ask, is there a bandit in this Yongzhou city?"

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, he also heard the meaning of Mu Chen's words, so he had to smile and said, "How can it, this Yongzhou City is in the hands of the two regimes in the south and east, and the thieves of that family dare to die like this."

"Then what's the matter with you not having a person on the street this night," Mu Chen's topic finally arrived on time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, this, guest officer, you have to leave tomorrow anyway, you don't need to know"

Sima Yunxuan said with a smile, "Hehe, this little brother, tell us about it, we should listen to the story, and we will never spread it or participate in it after listening" As he spoke, he took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.

As soon as Mu Chen saw this, he immediately said secretly in his heart, "Why does this guy spend so much money, I originally thought he was a big young master, but I didn't expect to give so much money casually, what is his origin?"

The shopkeeper took the silver at a loss, smiled, and said, "Hehe, since that's the case, I'll tell you." ”

Sima Yunxuan hurriedly moved a stool for the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper began to talk after sitting down.

"It turns out that the city of Yongzhou was very harmonious, and the night market is also very prosperous, but last month there was a fox demon from nowhere, and a few fox calls could be heard at night on the third watch, and then a woman's voice could be heard, a woman's laughing voice, and the next day you could see a man dying in a corner. In this way, the people in Yongzhou City were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out at night, and several times, even beggars didn't let go. That's why we won't let you live. ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, the two of them were very confused, and Mu Chen asked, "Hasn't anyone from the government come to check?" The shopkeeper replied, "I have checked several times, but there is no result, and it is said that both sides have reported to the court."

Sima Yunxuan asked, "Do people die every day?"

The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, "Half a month ago, I died every day, but then I died every few days, and I don't know if there will be one tonight." Anyway, you sleep a little harder, and don't say anything when you hear it. ”

Mu Chen pondered for a moment and said to the shopkeeper, "Thank you, little brother, you can go." The shopkeeper answered and left, leaving only Mu Chen and Sima Yunxuan in the room.

Both of them pondered for a long time, and Sima Yunxuan spoke first, "Brother Mu, what do you think about this matter?"

Mu Chen was silent for a while and said, "I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world, it must be an evil done by a master, but I hope she doesn't come to us, otherwise if she is really a master, we will be in trouble." ”

The two motioned to each other and decided to take turns sleeping just in case.

"Knock, knock, knock" The tranquility of the night was broken by the sound of three gongs, and the third watch arrived.

It was the time for Muchen to guard, and Sima Yunxuan had just fallen into bed and slept to death. When Mu Chen heard the sound of the watch, his heart suddenly tightened, but nothing happened after a while, which made Mu Chen's hanging heart relax a little.

Almost an hour has passed, and it is about to be the fourth watch, but nothing happened, Muchen was bored, and was about to wake up Sima Yunxuan, just stood up, and suddenly felt that the room was dark, and through the window paper, he vaguely saw that the moon was covered by a layer of clouds, and the thin clouds seemed to be sand, making the moon disappear from time to time, like a dream.

Mu Chen continued to walk towards the bed, and just when he was about to touch Sima Yunxuan, a woman's laughter rang out, the sound of laughter sounded so happy, but listening to it at night couldn't help but give people a terrifying feeling, which made people feel cold behind them.

Mu Chen's heart tightened, his whole body trembled, and then looked at Sima Yunxuan, I don't know when he had already done it, it seemed that he had never dared to sleep too hard, just a light sleep.

Sima Yunxuan's nerves tensed, and he said to Mu Chen, "Coming?"

Mu Chen made a gesture to him not to speak, and whispered, "It seems that we are lucky, the old fox came out of the hole and let us catch up." ”

The woman's laughter continued, making people's hearts tingle and giving people a feeling that they were going to die at any moment. The two of them were stunned for about a quarter of an hour in this laughter, the laughter suddenly stopped, Mu Chen slowly walked to the window, really about to take a look at the situation outside, suddenly saw a black shadow flashing from the window, Mu Chen was shocked, and immediately opened the window to check, but found nothing, only felt that there was a strong aroma in the air outside the window, and smelling too much made people feel a little disgusted. Mu Chen looked up at the moon and saw that the moon had just peeked out of the clouds. The streets also became brighter in the moonlight, and Mu Chen looked at the streets and found that there were no strange people. He closed the window, turned his head to look into the house, and saw that Sima Yunxuan had just come back from outside.
