Chapter 2: Staying in a Hotel
The young man's name was Xiu Chenyan, and he had only known this man and a woman for a short time. Xiao Shichen is a doctor, and few people in the world can beat him in terms of medical skills. He is a descendant of the Medicine Valley, and he is also well-known in the rivers and lakes. It was also he who discovered that the cup of tea was poisonous, and made Xiuchen speak out to stop this tragedy, but he didn't know that the little boy had already noticed it. This woman is Xiao Shichen's younger sister, and her medical skills are not very good, but her martial arts are not weak. The two walk on the rivers and lakes, and they also complement each other.
In the afternoon, the sun was still boundless, but it rained in the evening, and when the three of them rushed into the nearest town, they had already become chickens in soup. There are only a few dim lights in the town that have not been blown out by the wind, and the streets have long been devoid of pedestrians.
Xiao Shichen's younger sister is named Wenjusri, dressed in a goose yellow gauze skirt, after being wet in the rain, her hair sticks to her face, and her clothes are close to her figure, which makes her daughter's family feel ashamed for a while.
Xiao Shichen didn't dare to look at him, he liked his junior sister since he was a child, and it was the first time he saw his junior sister's down-and-out appearance, which looked pitiful and full of woman's taste. He took off his cloak and draped it over Manjusri, then looked around.
In this dark night, I don't know when the rain will fall, or whether it is a practical problem to find an inn first.
There is an inn in the small town called Feng Shang Lou, which is a relatively large restaurant, which enjoys a very high reputation in the local area, and customers come and go constantly.
The little guy in the fashion building was about to close the door, but the three guests rushed in in a hurry and stopped the guy from closing the door. The three of them were dressed extraordinarily, and although they were soaked by the rain, the little maid did not look down on the three guests, and smiled politely. "A few guest officers, I'm really sorry, the shop is closed." It was late in the evening, and there was no one in the restaurant to eat, and the cook had already gone home.
"Excuse me, but do you have any rooms?" We live in the hotel. ”
Manjusri's gentle voice made the little guy can't bear to answer, it is really the local Cangshan red leaves are too famous, and in autumn, many tourists from other places come to visit, and the guide is now nervous in the guest room. Even the last few rooms were booked by a son.
The little servant bowed to the three of them, his face embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, but the rooms are full, so please forgive me."
At this time, Zong Lan, who was standing at the top of the stairs, found three people, Zong Lan recognized Xiu Chen, he was wrong to blame Xiu Chenyan for wanting to hurt his son, but he didn't expect that he was a villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman. For the incident of pointing the sword in his hand at his neck, Zong Lan felt that he should apologize to the young man.
When Zong Lan came over, Xiu Chenyan also found him.
"In Xia Zonglan, please don't be surprised if you have offended a lot today." Zong Lan saluted Xiuchen with a fist, which was a way for the people of the rivers and lakes to show respect. Xiu Chenyan smiled lightly and saluted back.
"Brother Tai Yan zhòng. That little boy was clever and clever, and he had discovered the clue a moment ago, and let me make a joke for nothing. ”
"To make you laugh, Ling Gongzi is indeed smart, if it weren't for my son-in-law arriving in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen through him until now." If he brought Ling Gongzi back to his life, he might let his master punish him. Zong Lan felt embarrassed when she thought of this.
Xiuchen looked at Zong Lan in surprise, that is, the relationship between master and servant, how could he recognize the wrong person?
"Your son-in-law is the boy who came later?"
Zong Lan realized that he had said too much and it was not easy to say that Gongzi was easy to act, so he had to speak. "My son-in-law has been away from home for many years, because we haven't seen each other."
Xiuchen nodded clearly, but Xiao Shichen and Manjusri Lan saw that the two of them were chatting energetically, for fear that they would not be able to stop. Listening to the wind howling outside the door, Manjusri didn't want to go out anymore.
"All three of them were in the rain, and there was a lot of disturbance in the rain. It's better for the three of you to change out of wet clothes first. Zong Lan politely wanted to say goodbye, he went downstairs to find Xiao Er to get hot water to bathe his son.
"It would be nice to have a firewood room for me to sleep in." Manjushri shook the water on her skirt in discouragement, how good is this big night.
"You didn't get a room?"
The little guy standing next to him immediately replied. "The room is fully booked, but there is a bunk and two beds, but this young lady is not very convenient."
Zong Lan wants to go out, in order to prevent emergencies, the bed will definitely not sleep, and it will be one night on the bench at night.
"If you don't dislike it, I'll give you two rooms. Now it's stormy outside, and I'm afraid it's hard to find other inns. Zong Lan was right, and this was what Manjushri was happy to hear.
Zong Lan and his party of four people have set up four rooms, except for the son's single room, they only need one room, and the three of them have to take turns to guard tonight.
"Thank you so much."
Zong Lan said, "It's okay. So I asked Xiao Er to prepare hot water.
For the three of them, tonight's big problem was solved, and Manjushri was relieved, only Xiao Shichen was still not there. Seeing this group of people again, Xiao Shichen remembered the poison he saw today, that poison is called Broken Soul, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold, for no other reason, just because this medicine is colorless and tasteless, even a silver needle cannot be tested, and the poisoned person will not have any uncomfortable reaction, but will slowly fall asleep, and finally never wake up. Legend has it that there is no cure for the broken soul, and the prescription has been lost. This medicine was created by the people of the ancient Yi tribe, except for their own people who are not affected by this medicine, others who take it will definitely die. And this Yi people have long disappeared in the long river of history.
Xiao Shichen had only seen the description of Broken Soul in the book, and this was the first time he had seen Broken Soul. If it weren't for the mention in the book, "Where the soul is broken, the rhyme is circulating." "There was a force in the air that was going round and round. If Xiao Shichen didn't know this, he wouldn't have been able to detect the location of the broken soul.
Seeing Xiao Shichen in a daze, Manjusri pushed his arm. She just wanted to get rid of her wet clothes and get a good night's sleep.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Shichen was frightened by Manjusri and immediately sobered up from his contemplation. Looking back, the present life of the broken soul seemed to have little to do with him, so he forgot about it.
"It's nothing, it's just a fantasy."
Seeing that he was not telling the truth, and had no intention of talking to him, Manjusri turned and went upstairs. But Xiu Chenyan couldn't help laughing, although he didn't know Xiao Shichen very well, he also knew that Xiao Shichen looked quiet, but in fact he was a fiery temper, and only Manjushri could suppress him. Today he was particularly strange, and he would blush when he looked at Manjusri.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Shichen stared at Xiu Chen's handsome face suspiciously, and an unfathomable smile on his face lingered for a long time.
"It's nothing, it's just a joke." Xiu Chenyan walked in front of him with a smile, Xiao Shichen realized it later, and after thinking about it, he realized that he was ridiculing him, and shouted loudly and chased after him.
