Bao'er's gaze changed from hot to cold, and she stared at Tang Yinbrown and Ah Zi's hands tightly and refused to let go for a moment.

Ah Zi looked at the cold eyes in his eyes, only to feel a chill in his back, but the hands and cheeks that were held by Ah Brown couldn't help but be hot.

She lowered her eyes, unconsciously trying to pull her hand back.

Tang Yinbrown held Ah Zi's hand tightly, pulled Ah Zi closer to him, turned his head to look at her and smiled, his eyes were full of calmness.

Ah Zi's heart relaxed from the tension for no reason, and smiled back at Ah Brown.

yes, what is she doing in her heart?

Seeing that Bao'er was standing in place and refused to step forward, Tang Yinzhong couldn't sit still, and went straight to Bao'er, who was stunned there, and shouted "Big brother" in a trembling voice, but then saw Tang Yin's brown and Ah Zi's fingers shaking hands, so he raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "You two...... Isn't this a private life? ”

Seeing that Tang Yinzhong glanced back and forth at the two of them after asking, Ah Zi blushed and hid behind Tang Yinbrown without speaking.

Tang Yinbrown smiled and acquiesced to Ah Zhong's statement.

"Everybody's here?" Tang Yinbrown said, looked back, met Bao'er's gaze, and only nodded and smiled at the other party.

"It's all here, just waiting for you." After that, he looked behind Tang Yinbrown and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xing Fu didn't go all the way with you?" ”

"I came all the way. I met an assassin on the way, and I ordered him to go after him, but there was no news. Tang Yinbrown said truthfully.

Tang Yinzhong nodded, an enemy who can make a person like Xing Fu with first-class light skills spend so much time and still have no results, presumably the background will not be simple, but since the eldest brother didn't say much, he naturally has his reasons, so he didn't ask more, turned sideways and said, "Let's go in and talk." ”

The Willow Wind Inn is built north of the Dragon's Back Mountains, adjacent to the Golden Forest. This is no longer a realm that humans can set foot on at will. It is rare for an inn to appear here, and it is even more incredible that a time-honored brand can stand for a hundred years.

Therefore, the inn occupies a small area of land, only a small two-story building, which is made of solid wood.

As soon as I entered the door. Ah Zi's eyes were attracted by a hunchbacked, dark-skinned old man behind the counter.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is an old man. Although the man in front of him has thinning hair. Patches of oily scalp were exposed, and the face was covered with ravines and scars, except for the part that was covered by clothing. There was hardly an inch of exposed skin that was not covered by scars, but in addition to these terrible features, it was still vaguely judged that the man had a skin that was not old.

Seeing Ah Zi staring closely at the man behind the counter, Tang Yinzhong whispered in her ear: "This is the shopkeeper of this inn." This whole Willow Wind Inn is just this one living thing, and the shopkeeper is a handyman in the bookkeeper's house. ”

Ah Zi stared at Tang Yinzhong with round eyes.

Knowing her doubts, Tang Yinzhong smiled and said, "We were also strange when we first came, thinking that he could take care of it?" But after two days, it will be clear, this old gentleman is idle. Not to mention that in fact, this inn does not meet a few guests all year round, and the situation of such a seven-eight person like ours is almost a hundred years old, even if we live here for a few days, he is also an idle cloud and wild crane, do you see him behind the counter now? That's the only state we've seen in these days. Except for the fact that when we first checked in, he gave us a bunch of keys and let us go upstairs to our seats and find our own rooms, he has been standing quietly behind the counter like a statue, rubbing the abacus with one hand, and he doesn't settle the account, just standing there straight.

"It's been a lot of trouble for us people these days, we have to do everything ourselves, we help lock the door even at night, and in the end we have to help watch the store. If you want me to say, this Willow Wind Inn, except for providing an empty shell wooden house, there is nothing left.

"I'm starting to miss the unreasonable shopkeeper of the Dragon and Tiger Inn, although that person has a robbery face, but he is a businessman, this shopkeeper is good, from beginning to end, I don't even see a little popularity from him."

Tang Yinzhong poured out the bitter water of these days in such a way, Ah Zi listened attentively, and it took a long time before he came to his senses, leaned over Ah Zhong's ear and asked in a very low voice: "Is this shopkeeper a human being?" ”

Hearing this question, Tang Yinzhong smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it's a human, otherwise it's still ......a ghost."

Halfway through his words, he understood what Ah Zi meant, sighed, and carefully looked at the motionless mysterious man behind the counter again.

The biggest reason why Ah Zi would ask such a question is that the shopkeeper is blind.

It's not blindness with your eyes open, it's blindness with your eyes gouged out.

From the moment he entered the house, Ah Zi saw the two terrible hollows in the position where the man should have been his eyes, and his body trembled, his back was cold, and the hairs on his body stood up one by one.

With such a pair of shocking eyes, the other scars on the man's body, the high bulging hunchback, and the alopecia areata scalp were nothing.

Tang Yinzhong rubbed his chin for a long time before he said, "I think...... It's supposed to be human, right? ”

He always believed that the witches recorded in the information were all amazingly beautiful, and all of them were like immortals outside the world, so he did not want to be associated with the hideous man in front of him no matter what.

Ah Zi and Tang Yinzhong looked at the man behind the counter together, but they always had some indescribable strange feelings in their hearts.

"This is north of Longji Mountain, how can there be humans living here all year round?" Ah Zi questioned.

"That makes sense...... Ah Zhong nodded meaningfully.

"How long are you two going to stare at this shopkeeper before you give up?"

Tang Yin's deep voice came from behind him.

The voice was not loud, and the tone was very ordinary, but the two people who were originally mysteriously standing side by side in the middle of the lobby like thieves and looking at the direction of the counter shook their bodies at the same time.

Tang Yin, who had already been led by Xiaopeng to see the situation of the guest room upstairs, put down his luggage, and a few people waiting in the room briefly understood the situation nearby, and Tang Yin, who came downstairs again after resting, saw that Ah Zi and Ah Zhong were still nailed to the same place and looked at the innkeeper, whispering from time to time, I really couldn't stand it, so I stepped forward to interrupt the "secret" meeting of the two.

"Big brother...... If you make a small noise, this shopkeeper can't see with his eyes, but his ears are very good. Tang Yinzhong panicked and made a silent gesture.

Tang Yinhong shook his head helplessly, looked at Ah Zi and said, "I'll put your luggage on, you still have a room with Bao'er at night, how about it?" ”
