One less person for no reason?

Zhou Chen sat on the bed and waited for a while, but he didn't see the man come back, obviously not going to the toilet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

So where did the missing one go?

Zhou Chen didn't think about it anymore, according to Chef Niu's words, he would understand in two days.

He didn't feel sleepy, so he crossed his knees on the bed and practiced meditation.

In the next two days, Zhou Chen's guess was quickly verified.

The guys in the same room with him disappeared one by one, as if they had evaporated from the world.

In the end, even Aru, who was in charge of pouring them a night pot, disappeared.

For such a strange incident, Chef Niu had expected it, and he didn't have any extra words, and he didn't seem to have the intention of explaining for Zhou Chen. It's just that after Aru also had an accident, he sent the remaining apprentice named Ah Liu in the kitchen to do all the dirty chores.

Now there are only three guys left in the inn, Da Long and Zhou Chen have been regarded as their own people, only Ah Liu does not know the truth, so he is naturally unlucky.

"Erhu, is our inn haunted? What do you think we should do? It may be our turn next!"

Ah Liu was so scared that he didn't react even if he had to do all the chores, but pulled Zhou Chen to find comfort and recognition.

"What can we do, or you should ask Niu Lao. ”

Although Zhou Chen had a guess, he couldn't talk to him, so he could only be a little perfunctory.

"No, no, no, you can't ask Niu Lao, you can't!"

Ah Liu shook his head again and again and said that he couldn't, but he just couldn't say why, obviously he vaguely felt something.

"You're too nervous, come on, eat a piece of horse meat. ”

At this time, there were just the two of them in the kitchen, and Zhou Chen was cooking a large pot of horse meat, which was one of the previous trophies.

I don't know what is in the two carriages, Zhou Chen only knows that they can be sold for money.

Mr. Bookkeeper and Da Long had already driven the carriage to the town on the border of the Central Plains yesterday, apparently trying to get rid of these things.

The horses they used were naturally already available in the inn. And it turned out that the horses were poisoned at that time.

And according to the cow cook, these poisoned horses can be eaten as long as they are bloodied.

The way to eat horse meat is also very simple, just sprinkle a little salt after it is cooked, so this job is handed over to Zhou Chen to do.

"I don't eat, I still have work to do!"

Ah Liu looked a little nervous, shook his head vigorously, and ran out of the kitchen.

Zhou Chen shrugged his shoulders and grabbed a piece of horse meat and gnawed on it.

The body belonging to Chen Erhu is not strong, but it is healthy enough, and it is more than a step stronger than Li Hai's body when he first crossed in "Demon Pet Contract".

Now at the age of thirteen, when his body is still developing, Zhou Chen will not treat himself badly.

This inn is a black shop, and the advantage to Zhou Chen is that this kind of small advantage can be taken casually, eaten as much as you want, and controlled by a degree. He's really in the house now, so the cow cooks won't talk about him for a few pieces of horse meat.

"Ahh

Just as Zhou Chen was eating the meat beautifully, suddenly a scream sounded outside.

Zhou Chen threw the horse meat back into the pot in his hand, and hurriedly ran to the door to look out.

And this look made Zhou Chen understand that his guess was indeed correct.

I saw that in the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a gray robe was standing there, with one hand forming a claw, running through Ah Liu's chest.

The latter was already out of breath, and the scream just now was his last voice, and his whole body was suspended in the air, all supported by one of the middle-aged man's hands.

Burst!

At this time, the middle-aged man pulled out the hand, and Ah Liu's body fell to the ground with a "plop".

Zhou Chen didn't pay any more attention to the dead Ah Liu, but looked at the middle-aged man's hand with a slight change in his face, because there, he was holding a heart that was still beating.

The middle-aged man brought his heart close to his mouth and bit it, and immediately blood splattered, and his mouth turned red.

Click!

Zhou Chen could hear the sound of him chewing, and at this time, the other party also turned around.

This man is the shopkeeper of the inn.

The shopkeeper chewed the flesh in his mouth like this, and grinned at Zhou Chen, his expression seemed to be smiling, but how gloomy it looked.

At this time, he spoke, in a slightly hoarse voice: "You are good, you are not scared to pee, you are much stronger than that big dragon." ”

He kicked the corpse at his feet again and said, "Get rid of this." ”

With that, he took another bite on the heart in his hand, and walked away.

Zhou Chen silently watched the shopkeeper leave, and his face did not change much.

In fact, he also guessed this, the guys in the inn disappeared one by one, and then contacted Chef Niu to say, it was easy to think that it was the shopkeeper or the bookkeeper who did it.

Now that the speculation has been confirmed, Zhou Chen instead thought of something deeper.

The shopkeeper's sudden killing spree was obviously purposeful.

After he killed someone, he only took one heart, so Zhou Chen guessed whether he had practiced some kung fu and needed his heart and blood to meet the cultivation conditions.

"If you practice with your heart and blood, most of them are internal strengths? Or is this not a practice, just a means of healing?"

Zhou Chenke still remembered that the shopkeeper was hit in the chest by a small black arrow, and the injury would not be very light.

"No matter what, this shopkeeper should have internal cultivation. ”

After a long period of observation, Zhou Chen judged that Chef Niu and Mr. Bookkeeper did not know internal strength, and the strength of the shopkeeper was much higher than them, and the body did not look like it was strong in external strength, and most of it was relying on internal strength.

"I also have to get one as soon as possible. ”

"Heaven and Earth Cultivation Qigong" is too inefficient in this world, so if Zhou Chen wants to improve his strength, he still has to rely on the cultivation system of this world.

However, it was still unrealistic to think about this now, Zhou Chen put aside this idea, walked to Ah Liu's corpse, and was about to carry him away.

Half an hour later, Zhou Chen finished disposing of the body, returned to the inn, and then went directly back to the kitchen.

The horse meat in the kitchen is the benefit he can really get now.

It's just that when Zhou Chen returned to the kitchen, Chef Niu had already appeared here.

"Boy, did you just see that?"

Chef Niu asked thoughtlessly, but Zhou Chen knew what he was talking about.

"See. ”

Zhou Chen replied honestly, with an ugly expression on his face.

"What's the matter?"

Chef Niu laughed and continued: "It's good to know that you are afraid, and remember not to make the shopkeeper angry in the future, even if you are not respectful, you can't have a trace of disrespect, otherwise your life may be lost at any time." ”

"Old Niu, is the shopkeeper practicing?"

Zhou Chen saw this opportunity and asked.

"Well, hehe, it doesn't hurt to tell you. This is an internal technique called "Blood Coagulation Gong", which has a very large origin, and is said to have been passed down from the Blood God Sect, one of the four major sects, and is a practice that can really practice internal strength. ”

As the cow cook spoke, he couldn't help but show a look of envy on his face.

"Niu Lao, don't even you know how to do it?"

Zhou Chen said tentatively again.

"You know a fart, you are a cabbage when you are an internal martial arts method? Among those who practice martial arts, nine times out of ten they don't know how to do internal strength, it's really hard to find. ”

Cook Niu glanced at Zhou Chen again and said, "Don't talk to me, don't you just want to learn martial arts?" Lao Niu has a set of hammer fists, and he will start teaching you early in the morning. I also have a few specialty dishes here, and you can learn them together, and if you have the opportunity in the future, don't do black work, or become a cook. (To be continued.) )
