Chapter 178: Haunted Events
They rested in a room, discussing the distance they had taken and what they thought about the recent events.
It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to knock on the door and come in with a large tray, and said respectfully and slightly apologetically: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is not much in Willow Town, but you can't finish the fish, so you will eat it objectively."
The dishes in the tray are placed on the table one by one, braised fish, sauerkraut fish, grilled fish, fried fish, salted fish, chopped pepper fish head, fish head, fish head, tofu soup
Each dish has only a small plate, enough for them to taste, and then it will be gone.
This method is good, but I am afraid that they will get tired of eating at one time, so they will not come to this inn to take care of their business
originally thought that there were only fish in the inn, but in the end, when he saw a plate of sour cabbage at the end of the shopkeeper, Zhu Wuhong had no heart to eat when he saw these things.
"Isn't it? It's all fish."
Ghost Ming took his chopsticks to flick the dishes on the plate, and he was annoyed in his heart, the food he hated the most was eating fish.
When I was young, I was with Yaya for a few years, except for going to the stream to catch fish, eating fish, and then there was nothing to do.
Zhu Wuhong turned his head to look at the shopkeeper and joked with a smile, "It seems that even pigs are extinct in this place in Willow Town." ”
"Huh"
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and explained: "Willow Town is close to the water's edge, so it is rich in fish, and the small ones have eaten fish for twenty-nine years, and now it is my son's turn to eat them, alas"
The shopkeeper was also helpless, and the shopkeeper's deep sigh amused them reads();.
"Then why don't you sell the fish and buy the rest of the food?"
Zhu Wuhong looked at the dishes on the table curiously, and didn't know if it was delicious or not.
"If the fish lacks water, they have to die, and they can't be transported at all. It's too far from the ancient country. I have to go around a long way, and I am even farther away from the country of Xiyang, but I am afraid that the fish will die and stink before it reaches the market. ”
The shopkeeper also looked helpless, Zhu Wuhong pretended to understand his mood and sympathized with the shopkeeper, so he said casually: "This place is far away from the ancient country, how can you go to the Xieyang country." I've heard that the road is impassable. ”
Hearing Zhu Wuhong say this, the shopkeeper suddenly fell silent. Then he was surprised and asked, "Where are you from?" Could it be"
The shopkeeper knew that it was inappropriate to ask the guest so directly, but he wanted to save his life, so he hesitated for a while and then gritted his teeth and asked, "Gu Guo?" ”
When the ghost Ming saw the shopkeeper, he wanted to see the ghost when he mentioned the ancient country. He hurriedly replied, "We are from the ghost country, and we want to go to the country of Xieyang to find some jewelers to make a living."
"Yes, we don't know the road, so I want to ask you."
Zhu Wuhong stood up and walked to the side of the shopkeeper, feeling that the two of them were very iron. The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat on his face, and finally replied reassuringly: "The road to Xieyang Guoshan is not passable." You have to go by water. ”
"What is a mountain road that is not passable?"
Zhu Wuhong took the opportunity to ask, and Ghost Ming also stared at the shopkeeper, not letting go of any slight change in his expression.
"There are bandits and robbers in the mountains, killing people and stealing goods. It is said that the mountain is still haunted, and the cloth and medicinal herb businessmen who walked the mountain road before have not returned.
The mountain is not too far away. According to the people they have visited, they can go from here to the foot of the mountain and back here in a day and a night. ”
The shopkeeper said in detail. From time to time, the eyes glanced at the charming golden lyrics.
"What is that mountain called? How could it be so strange? ”
Ghost Ming stared at the shopkeeper, and his scared eyes didn't look like he was lying.
"It's called the Cat Spirit Mountain, and I haven't seen anyone dare to go to the Cat Spirit Mountain for so many years."
The shopkeeper took another breath of cold air and kindly persuaded: "A few guest officers, I advise you to take the waterway." ”
Knowing that the shopkeeper was kind enough to remind, the ghost said sincerely: "Xie Xiaoer reminds."
Then he turned his head to Sun Yanxing and ordered: "Butler, reward"
Sun Yanxing understood the words of the ghost, and hurriedly took out the broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper, who happily accepted a strong thank-you.
"Don't be disgusted with less, and we will reward you more after we make money from the jewels sold in the slanting sun."
Ghost Ming said softly, and the shopkeeper kept thanking him again and again.
Zhu Wuhong lowered his head and thought about something, suddenly raised his head and asked, "I remember that you said before that Willow Town was haunted."
Then he turned to the shopkeeper and continued to ask uncertainly, "Little brother, is there really such a thing?" ”
"It's true, reads();!"
The shopkeeper replied affirmatively, with a look of fear in his eyes, and whispered, "About a month ago, suddenly there were a lot of fish missing overnight.
At first, we thought it was a thief, but we didn't pay attention to it, anyway, there were too many fish in Willow Town to eat, and if we lost it, we lost it!
Later, after another three or five days, a farmer threw away his farm tools and ran back in a panic, and later he told us that he had seen a fishbone mountain in the wasteland of the mountain behind his house."
"Fishbone Mountain? It's a mountain made of fish bones, what's so strange, you have too many fish here to eat. The"
Zhu Wuhong didn't believe it, and continued to ask, "Could this be related to ghosts?" ”
Zhu Wuhong interrupted the shopkeeper's words, scoffed, and didn't say anything more.
When Ghost Ming heard this, he also said, "If I can finish the fish, and then the bones of the fish will not be scattered, I can eat it to this realm." A skilled chef can also remove the fish bones and keep them from falling apart, which is not a difficult task! ”
"Listen to the little one?"
The shopkeeper still looked frightened, the ghost Ming stopped talking, and Zhu Wuhong became quiet.
"Just now the little one is talking about Fishbone Mountain"
The shopkeeper paused for a moment, it seemed that this incident was really the most terrifying thing he had encountered, so he secretly took a breath of cold air again, and continued to tell the ghost and their group in detail.
"What is Fishbone Mountain? It's a mountain of fish bones! Of course, there must be an element of exaggeration in this.
The small ones also went to see the fun, the complete fish bones are about four or five hundred, and the fish bones are still very complete, there is not even some excess fish meat on the fish head, and the fish bones are fresh."
"You're not going to assume that Willow Town is haunted, are you?"
Even Sun Yanxing didn't believe it, and Jin Ciqu also said: "I won't believe it either."
Then he turned his head to look at Sun Yanxing and continued appreciatively: "Yanxing can remove the fish meat, and then leave a complete fish bone." ”
"The problem is that Willow Town is not big, and there are no major things recently, where will four or five hundred fish be eaten?"
The shopkeeper argued, Zhu Wuhong also had questions, nodded and began to agree with the shopkeeper's statement, so he said affirmatively: "That's true, just now I can have an unobstructed view of Willow Town when I stand in front of the window."
"That's it."
The shopkeeper continued to whisper: "The strangest thing is not this, but the pile of such fish bones that I see every day on the barren mountains of Willow Town."
"Isn't that weird?"
Zhu Wuhong looked at Ghost Ming and continued to ask, "Childe, is it really haunted?"
"Haunted, I'm not afraid of reads();!!"
Sun Yan's voice was like a bell, and Ghost Ming shook his head and said, "I don't understand either, it's better for everyone to be careful."
The shopkeeper silently withdrew after seeing that he had nothing to do, and the ghosts were in a daze at the table of fish
Following.
"Childe, look"
Jin Chengqu felt bored and kept staying in front of the window to look at the scenery, and when Ghost Ming heard her say this, he walked over and glanced at the window.
At this time, there were many people of all ages and children in peasant clothes who were carrying the swing and running quickly in one direction, with horror and curiosity, shouting as they ran, as if they were telling the people behind to run faster.
"What are they doing here?"
Jin Ciqu asked Ghost Ming curiously, she didn't look back, but kept looking at the street by the window.
The people looking at the street of the building felt like they were watching some different butterflies flying slowly, and Ghost Ming was about to say something when he heard the shopkeeper knocking on the door, and he was anxiously shouting something while knocking on the door.
Sun Yanxing, who was closest to the door, opened the door, and then the shopkeeper said something to Sun Yanxing, and finally saw him go upstairs quickly.
Sun Yanxing turned his head and hurriedly said, "Childe, the people in the second floor of the shop have all gone to see those fish bones that the ghost gnawed."
At this time, Zhu Wuhong was dipping tea in tea and drawing a map on the table, calculating the distance of the distance.
He raised his head when he heard Sun Yanxing's words, and when he saw Ghost Ming walking towards him from the windowsill, he hurriedly stood up, and Jin Ciqu also followed curiously.
Sure enough, Ghost Ming stopped when he walked to Zhu Wuhong's side, smiled slightly, and asked, "Wuhong, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
"Believe"
Zhu Wuhong pretended to answer honestly and seriously, and then quickly continued: "But it is said that ghosts don't eat things with a fishy smell, and they are afraid that their bodies will be fishy and they will not be reincarnated."
"What are you talking about?!"
Ghost Ming picked up the chopsticks on the table and knocked on his head, and asked, "Where did the ghost come from in this world?"
"Childe, I'm just kidding! What are you doing?"
Zhu Wuhong didn't say anything later, because he was seeing that Jin Ciqu behind Ghost Ming had been frightened.
"Miss, I'm talking about playing"
Zhu Wuhong hurriedly explained, laughing wryly, he felt that this joke was a little bigger.
He knew that if he scared Jin Ciqu Sun Yanxing, he would definitely come to him desperately, Ghost Ming saw Sun Yanxing coming, and then smiled and said for Zhu Wuhong: "If there are any ghosts, let's go over and see, won't we?"
After speaking, he went upstairs, and Sun Yanxing and Zhu Wuhong couldn't care about the fight and hurriedly followed.
Jin Ciqu was scared in her heart, standing next to the table and not moving, Sun Yanxing hurriedly came back to pull her, and she had to follow.
Outside the window, it was gloomy and dreary, and it was about to rain. (To be continued.) )
