Chapter 218: Check Out
His eyes fell into the wooden box on the table, looking at a dead fish with white eyes, and a small broken fish net that had been cut neatly but with a hole in the middle, Ye Ziluo groaned:
"The fish that slipped through the net will have something to ......"
Yin Seventeen Dao: "There should be something to refer to." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Ye Ziluo raised his eyes: "You know?" ”
Yin Seventeen nodded: "Don't worry, let's go downstairs for dinner first, and when Brother Jiang and they come, we'll talk about it together." ”
Ye Ziluo knew that Yin Seventeen didn't want to repeat the words twice, so he thought about waiting for Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng.
When I got downstairs, the shopkeeper happened to have set up the meal, three dishes and one soup, all the color, flavor and flavor, saying that it was Xu Lianhua's personal cooking, so that Ye Ziluo and Yin Seventeen could have a good taste.
If it's not enough, tell the shop Xiaoer again, and two more dishes will definitely be delivered.
The shopkeeper smiled and retreated, and the two sat down in the lobby.
As soon as he sat down, Yin Seventeen joked that the leaves fell:
"I heard Brother Xu Yang say that at this time of year, the proprietress is more personally supervising the kitchen, and less is personally in charge of the spoon, because this inn business is the best, and the proprietress alone is not busy at all, and there will be only a few tables, and you can also bother the proprietress to cook and cook in person, our table, I think I am stained with your light!"
Ye Ziluo smiled gently, and there was no embarrassed color on his face:
"The proprietress acted decisively, and if it weren't for bad luck, she would be a blessed person."
Yin Seventeen listened to this and felt that the focus should be on the four words "act decisively" in front:
"What is done, and what is broken?"
Ye Ziluo didn't hide it, and said the words that Xu Lianhua had picked out and said to him before.
After hearing this, Yin Seventeen couldn't help but give Xu Lianhua's courage a thumbs up, and sighed:
"It's really just a lucky way!"
There was no case involved, and the two of them spent most of the next time immersed in eating, and did not say anything else, thinking that they would finish their meals as soon as possible and go back to the guest room on the second floor, and then study the boxy wooden box.
However, when the two of them were about to finish their meal, many of the guests who had dinner earlier than the two of them returned to the guest room from the lobby, or those who simply had dinner in the guest room, came downstairs one after another at this time, and everyone looked like they were going to check out and leave.
Yin Qiqi looked at the sons who came down from the corridor on the second floor one after another, and two or three of them were men from neighboring counties who had dinner with the two of them in the lobby just now, all of whom came to participate in this year's flower moon event in Jiebei County, and she said strangely:
"Ziluo, why do these people look like they're leaving?"
The leaves also fell on the baggage that the men were carrying either themselves or the little ones, and it was indeed the appearance of leaving the bill:
"Are you leaving, I don't know why?"
Yin Seventeen said: "You can ask later." ”
Ye Ziluo said: "Okay." ”
It wasn't until Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo got up after dinner that only one last man was left at the counter, which was still lively at the previous moment.
The two walked to the counter, it was Xu Yang who was checking out, and he was still explaining to the man:
"Childe! That's all rumors! It's really a rumor! Where in this world is there any unjust ghost asking for his life! That's all a trick used by charlatans to cheat money! Childe can't believe it! ”
The man was wearing a light blue shirt and a dark blue robe, and he looked like a showman, he heard Xu Yang say this, but he was unmoved:
"Regardless of whether the unjust ghost asks for his life is true or not, the fact that there was a death in the guest room before is indeed true, and now there is a life, who do you say would dare to live? Even if it's upside down, no one dares to live! After all, there is only one life, who dares to fight with their life? ”
Xu Yang was anxious: "It's not like that, son!" Listen to me......"
Xu Yang still wanted to explain or persuade something, but unfortunately the man didn't like to listen to him anymore, so he took the broken silver found by the shopkeeper, and turned around and left.
After listening to two steps and turning his head to look at Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo, who had just approached the counter, the man looked the two of them left and right, up and down, and after seeing that there was no baggage or anything like that on the two of them, he said one more word:
"Two sons! Let me say more, this Lotus Inn can no longer live, it is a good omen for the legendary marriage, and I can't live anymore, this marriage is gone, you can find it again, this life is gone, but everything is over! ”
Even persuading people is so wrinkled.
Seeing the man walk out of the Lotus Inn, Yin Seventeen motioned to Ye Ziluo to deal with Xu Yang, who was so angry that his face turned green after listening to what the man said, and he followed the man out of the Lotus Inn.
Seeing this, Xu Yang hurriedly walked out of the counter, wanting to chase back Yin Seventeen, but let Ye Ziluo grab his arm:
"Brother Xu! I have something to ask you. ”
Xu Yang saw that the man and Yin Seventeen were gone, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and when he wanted to leave, he was grabbed by Ye Ziluo's arm and grabbed it tightly, he couldn't shake it off after several efforts, and he couldn't help crying:
"Brother Ye! Let me go! You can't let Brother Yin listen to that person's nonsense! ”
Ye Ziluo made a strong effort, dragged Xu Yang back a few steps inside, and asked softly:
"Where is the nonsense?"
Xu Yang wanted to explain, but he had already explained it no less than ten times just now, and he was in a hurry, and he wanted to explain it again, but he felt that Ye Ziluo hadn't heard all about it anyway, so he explained it to a fart!
So he rolled his tongue a few times, stared dryly for a long time, and couldn't say half a word for a long time.
Ye Ziluo was not in a hurry, so he looked at Xu Yang with a flawed look, looking like he was slowly waiting for an explanation.
At this time, Xu Lianhua came out of the back kitchen, untied her apron, patted the two skirts, and said to Xu Yang while walking towards the leaves:
"Needless to explain, there is no such thing as a wall that does not show the wind."
Yin Seventeen followed the man out of the Lotus Inn and followed a few steps, getting farther and farther away from the Lotus Inn.
The man seemed to be a little familiar with Jiebei County, and the one who turned left and right did not ask passers-by, and after turning into an alley, he finally noticed that there was someone behind him.
Suddenly turned around, and saw that it was a guest who had been persuaded by him for a sentence or two in the Lotus Inn just now, the man put down his heart and raised his heart after noticing that someone was following behind, and asked with some displeasure:
"This son, what are you doing behind me silently?"
After all, he had just been taken aback, and the man's tone was quite unpleasant, and his tone was not very gentle.
Yin Seventeen could understand, let alone care at this juncture, she made a salute first, and seeing that the man had relieved the displeasure on his face, Fang asked directly:
"I was in the Lotus Inn, I heard Brother Tai mention what human life is not human life, and I didn't understand it, so I followed all the way, and I felt that you and I didn't know each other, and suddenly asked, it was really a little abrupt, and when I was hesitating, I didn't expect Brother Tai to find out that it was down, Brother Tai was really sensitive!"
The man didn't think it was a big deal, not to mention that Yin Seventeen had already reported to his family to show his sincerity, explained, and then apologized, and praised him, and the resentment in his heart that was frightened had long since disappeared.
After reporting to the house, the man was also very polite:
"Out of the way! It's a matter of human life, Yin Gongzi will be so tight, it also means that there are generals who will listen to the next words, even so, Yin Gongzi and another brother Tai are about to leave the Lotus Inn soon, this night is dark, who knows if there will be any deaths tonight! ”
The words are true, the sentences are reasonable, and the man surnamed Zhang is not thinking about Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo every word.
Yin Qiqi could hear that what the man surnamed Zhang said was from the bottom of his heart, I don't know how much of this statement is true?
Yin Seventeen asked: "Is there any basis for what Zhang Gongzi said about the unjust ghost asking for his life?" ”
The man said: "According to whatever, there is no one in Xia, but if Yin Gongzi doesn't believe it, you can ask those people who are also in a hurry to check out and leave the Lotus Inn, they probably know more than Xia, after all, Xia is from another county, and he doesn't know more than people from this county." ”
After speaking, the man said that he only knew that the guest room where Lin Ya died of poisoning had died many years ago, and he was also a man, and he was still a native of Jiebei County.
No more, and he will not know.
The man added: "If Yin Gongzi is anxious to know, and he can't find the person who just retired from the Lotus Inn for a while, you can ask the proprietress in the inn, but whether she says it or not, it's hard to say, even if Yin Gongzi can't ask anything, he can probably see some clues!" ”
After all, people with weak hearts will always be a little different.
Yin Qiqi felt reasonable, so he also said goodbye to the man surnamed Zhang, but he really couldn't ask anything.
The man has been to Jiebei County for three consecutive years to participate in the Flower Moon Festival, and he has also lived in the Lotus Inn for three consecutive years, so he is extremely familiar with the surrounding environment, at least much more familiar than Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo.
As for the fact that there was a death in the Lotus Inn many years ago, it was the first time he had heard of it.
Otherwise, where could he still come to stay at the Lotus Inn?
Like him, there were ten guests who had previously stayed at the Lotus Inn, except for Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo, and after Lin Ya's death, there were nine people left.
Together with the man surnamed Zhang, these nine people were either from neighboring counties or from their own county, before Lin Ya died, or even before this morning, they didn't know that there had been a murder in the Lotus Inn many years ago.
And the murder also happened in the room where Lin Ya lived!
I don't know who first learned about this news, and I don't know where I heard it.
Anyway, as soon as the news spread in the afternoon, the guests staying in the entire Lotus Inn were like exploding pots, all of them were shocked and panicked, thinking that this year could be like the legendary marriage in the Lotus Inn, and they could get a good omen in this year's Flower Moon Festival and marry a beautiful woman to go home as a wife, and thought that if this news was true, then maybe Lin Ya's death was the unjust ghost who asked for his life many years ago!
Although some people believe in the doctrine of gods and ghosts, some people do not believe it.
But the more I talked, the more miraculous it became, and more and more people believed it, and in the end, nine people turned out to be eight and a half believers.
The other half felt that their lives were at stake, and even if they didn't believe it, it wasn't worth staying and taking the risk.
If it's really okay, that's fine.
What if something happens?
It's too late to regret it!
So the last half-believing guest also followed the checkout and left.
Legendary marriages, unjust ghosts, and many years of murder, these are all happening in the Lotus Inn, some of which are good and some are bad, the good ones can attract countless customers, and the bad ones can also drive away people's hearts.
Yin Seventeen walked all the way to the Lotus Inn, and couldn't help but think about the relationship between the three all the way.
Yes, or no?
If so, what kind of correlation would it be?
If there is no connection, then you have to sort out the chronological order of the occurrence of these three, or you can find something, or it is not necessarily.
No matter what the result is, she has to talk to Xu Lianhua about it.
It's a pity that Xu Yili hesitated, otherwise he would have said it earlier, maybe she would have been able to figure it out.
After thinking about it, Yin Seventeen had walked back to the Lotus Inn.
Ye Ziluo stood outside the inn door waiting for her, and he greeted her:
"The proprietress and Brother Xu refused to say anything, only that it had nothing to do with us, and hoped that we would not ask anything again and leave here as soon as possible."
Yin Seventeen nodded: "Well, Brother Jiang, are they here?" ”
Ye Ziluo shook his head.
The lobby was still crowded before dinner, and it would be silent.
Xu Yang and another shopkeeper were at the counter, as if they didn't see the two of them, and they didn't even say hello.
After the shopkeeper walked up the stairs on the two, he secretly glanced at the backs of the two, and then said to Xu Yang:
"They...... You won't come down and check out later, right? ”
Xu Yang didn't answer, but only looked at the corridor where the two of them had long been gone.
The shopkeeper hung his head dejectedly: "All year round, business is the best at this time, why did there be such a murder?" That man is really! Where is it not good to die, but I have to commit suicide by taking poison in our Lotus Inn! ”
Xu Yang didn't let the shopkeeper stop, but only listened to the shopkeeper's complaints, and sighed quietly.
Looking in the direction of the back kitchen, the sound of chopping meat came slightly, it was Xu Lianhua chopping fine meat, saying that she was eating the meat and vegetarian dumplings she wrapped herself tonight, and asked for vegetables and meat.
Back in the guest room on the second floor, Yin Seventeen poured a cup of tea and drank it, which was slightly cool and a little astringent.
Ye Ziluo didn't go back to his guest room, and after closing the door of the Yin Seventeen guest room, he sat down at the table, his eyes falling on the square wooden box.
Yin Seventeen sat down on the side of Ye Ziluo: "Before the Lotus Inn is in Lin Ya, there was a murder in the guest room next door, even if the proprietress and Brother Xu Yang don't say anything about this, Brother Jiang and they will come later, we will ask, we will always know." ”
Ye Ziluo said: "I don't know how many years it will be." ”
Yin Seventeen said: "It's okay, even if they don't have been on an errand in the yamen for a long time, there will always be files about the case in the yamen, and they really don't know when they go back, and they will know when they go back and check it." ”
The fingertips of the leaf fell to the edge of one of the four corners of the lid of the wooden box, and sighed:
"Why are these three suicides getting more and more complicated!"
Yin Seventeen pursed his lips and smiled lightly:
"What? Don't have the patience to check it out with me? ”
Ye Ziluo shook his head: "Of course not, I just think that this person's heart is really getting more and more complicated the more I look at it......"
Ye Ziluo hadn't finished speaking, but he let Yin Seventeen suddenly flick his hand away and pause.
His eyes couldn't help but follow Yin Seventeen to get up and look at the place where he looked closely, it was a small carved pattern that he accidentally touched, Ye Ziluo hesitated:
"It's ......"
Yin Seventeen Dao: "This is a portrayal, another meaning!" ”
And before, she actually ignored it! (To be continued.) )
