The people in the Lotus Inn also hope so, especially Xu Lianhua and Wenyuan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Open the door to do business, no one wants the inn to not be able to promote a good reputation, but to attract a miasma.

Originally, it was peaceful, and everyone wanted to maintain it until the day of the Flower Moon Festival.

Xu Lianhua seemed to think of something, and the tears on her face were not dry, but she showed a look of horror:

"On the night of the 10th day of the eighth month......"

The tenth day of August?

Mo said that Xu Lianhua's face changed, and even Yin Seventeen also had a solemn look.

Whether it is the legendary marriage six years ago, or the three cases of poisoning deaths today, they are all related to the day of "August 10", and they all happened at night!

Gao Xiaoyuan was destined to be just a passer-by who Xu Huan had the fate to meet and know in his life, but he had no chance to know each other.

Six years ago, on the tenth day of August, as soon as Ugin fell, the red lanterns were lit up at the gate of the Lotus Inn, and the lampstands in the lobby and the corridor on the second floor of the inn were also lit up, and the inn was suddenly lit up.

It would be the busiest time of the year, and no matter how much the inn had no business to save, it would not save so much gas money.

After dinner, there are two or three sitting in the lobby around the idle guests, there are also drinking and drinking tea after dinner, anyway, the lobby of the meeting is quite lively, each gossiping, which was very successful last year's flower moon event as the main topic, idle is in full swing.

Xu Yili was still the only shopkeeper in the inn at that time, and the first time he saw such a lively inn lobby, he was very busy with Dongjia Wenyuan, Xu Lianhua was even more happy to calculate the accounts, and the kitchen was so busy that he was also smiling.

Yin Seventeen said strangely: "It's not that the Lotus Inn has just been open for more than a year, the noodle shop is small, and there is no fixed source of customers and good reputation, even if it is a big festival, there are no guests, and the legendary marriage is still just being planned, why is the business so good all of a sudden?" ”

Xu Lianhua listened to Yin Seventeen's question, and suddenly stopped talking, lowered her face, and Yin Seventeen couldn't see her expression, so she had to look at Xu Yili, hoping that Xu Yili would give her an answer.

Xu Yili frowned, and his already wrinkled eyebrows became more and more Sichuan, and he laughed at himself:

"Brother Yin is just the proprietress who said it roughly, and I just looked for the strange place back then, but back then, we were so overjoyed that the sudden business boomed that we were carried away!"

Wen Yuan, Xu Lianhua, Xu Yili, and even the back kitchen, the four of them were a little confused at first, but as there were more and more guests, the guest room was empty in the end, and the guests were still in Luoze.

At that time, there was a trace of strangeness in everyone's heart, but after the strangeness, no one thought about why.

Xu Yili said: "At that time, everyone had questions about why in their hearts, but no one said it, it was me, and I just wondered in my heart, so I ignored it, thinking that business was good, where did it come from, and why......"

If any of the four people thought more about it at that time, maybe such a strange thing would not have happened back then.

Hearing the word weird, Yin Seventeen unconsciously looked in the direction of the second floor and looked at the guest room where he lived.

Gao Xiaoyuan lived in her current guest room six years ago, and that strange thing should have nothing to do with that guest room.

Xu Yili hadn't said it yet, and Xu Lianhua seemed to be a little scared, so she didn't want to interject, and let Xu Yili pause before continuing slowly.

I haven't heard anything weird yet, but Yin Seventeen just thinks it should have happened in the guest room where she lives.

Xu Yili continued: "I also remember that the moon that night was very round and bright, it should have been full in the fifteenth month, but it was only ten ...... that night."

The moonlight is like a silver carpet spread on the ground, glowing with alluring brilliance, taking dreamy micro steps, crossing the Lotus Inn to a layer of charming silver light.

Business was good that night, Wen Yuan and Xu Lianhua happily crowded into the counter, one counted the accounts, the other counted the silver taels, and then locked the silver taels firmly.

Xu Yili smiled, thinking that it was late at night, there were no guests in the lobby, and the second floor was quiet, he patrolled the corridor on the second floor again to see if there was anything to deal with, if not, he could go to the backyard to rest for a while.

But when I walked to the guest room where Gao Xiaoyuan lived, the door was open.

There was only a small slit, about five fingers together, and the light was on inside, but it was very quiet.

Xu Yili looked into the crack in the door, but he didn't see the door, so he pushed it open a little more, and at the same time called out to Gao Gongzi.

After waiting for a while, there was no response in the room.

Xu Yili couldn't help but feel a little strange, and after a few more calls and no one answered, he boldly pushed open the door.

After entering Gao Xiaoyuan's guest room, I saw that there was no one in the guest room at all!

Xu Yili recalled: "There were some silver taels on the table, just enough for Gao Xiaoyuan's room money for a few days, then I looked at it, I didn't think much about it, I just thought that Gao Xiaoyuan had something to do at home temporarily, so I left the room and went home, but when I went downstairs to ask the proprietress, the proprietress said no." ”

Only then did they know that something was wrong.

Wenyuan is the head of the family, and the owner of the inn, hurriedly went out of the counter and Xu Yili upstairs to take a look, if it was really a person who went to the empty building, except for the silver two placed on the table, people and clothes were gone.

Yin Seventeen didn't interject, just thinking that things might not be so simple.

If Gao Xiaoyuan really left, then Xu Yili and Xu Lianhua would not be so secretive about Gao Xiaoyuan.

What Xu Yili said next also confirmed what Yin Seventeen expected in his heart that Gao Xiaoyuan did not check out and go home.

Before the Flower Moon Festival, the four people in the inn all thought like this, together with Xu Minghui and Xu Huan, and no one doubted that there would be something else.

At that time, when Xu Huan heard that Xu Lianhua came to talk to her at home about it, she was quite happy, saying that Gao Xiaoyuan was a good person, and he could figure it out by himself, which was very good.

Xu Minghui was also happy, after all, there was one less strong opponent, and he was comfortable all over.

And so it passed.

It wasn't until after the Flower Moon Festival that when Xu Minghui and Xu Huan went back to Xujia Village to do family affairs, Gao Xiaoyuan's family found the Lotus Inn.

That day was August 17, the second day after the Flower Moon Festival, Xu Lianhua was reading the account book with an abacus, and suddenly heard a delicate voice - you are the proprietress of the Lotus Inn?

Yin Seventeen asked, "Who?" ”

Xu Yili looked at Xu Lianhua, who had pursed her lips for a long time, Xu Lianhua didn't raise her head, and there were two eyes on the top of her head, which she could feel, and also replied:

"It's a little girl from Gao Xiaoyuan's childhood sweetheart."

The little girl's name is Wang Yin, and she grew up with Gao Xiaoyuan without guessing, and lived next to Gao Xiaoyuan's family.

Wang Yin's family is a female household, her father is the son-in-law of her grandmother who recruited her mother into the Wang family, and in her generation, she is the only seedling, so it is inevitable that she will have to recruit a husband who joins the Wang family for her.

But Wang Yin couldn't look down on anyone, but he fell in love with Gao Xiaoyuan.

It is also that King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess has no heart, but the situation between Wang Yin and Gao Xiaoyuan is reversed, it is King Xiang who has no dream, and the goddess has a heart.

When she learned that Gao Xiaoyuan asked her matchmaker to go to Xu Huan's house to propose marriage, Wang Yin was so angry that she couldn't eat, and in less than three days, she lost a lot of weight, and her mother looked distressed, but she couldn't.

After all, Gao Xiaoyuan has no intention of Wang Yin, not to mention that Gao Xiaoyuan is the only son of the Gao family, and there is no reason to go to the Wang family to be a son-in-law, and the Gao family also pointed to Gao Xiaoyuan to marry a wife and have children, continuing the Gao family's incense.

Later, knowing that Gao Xiaoyuan's proposal was rejected, Wang Yin was so happy that he rewarded his subordinates several times in a day, and every time he made a move, he was very generous.

On that day, the coke broke Wang Yin's maid-in-law, who was waiting at any time, and the little girl who said a sweet and auspicious word was also rewarded.

Yin Seventeen frowned, looked at Xu Lianhua and said suspiciously:

"Gao Xiaoyuan is just a guest at the Lotus Inn, and after checking out the account and leaving, it's over, why does the proprietress know so well with Gao Xiaoyuan's green plum?"

Xu Lianhua lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth flashed with an almost desolate smile:

"Later, I went to check and found out in person, how could I not understand it thoroughly?"

Yin Seventeen asked, "Why is that?" ”

Xu Lianhua was silent, and Xu Yili said in a deep voice:

"Because Gao Xiaoyuan is missing!"

What the?

Missing?

Missing again?

First Xu Guo, then Gao Xiaoyuan, how could two people who were involved in the legendary marriage disappear all at once?

The four people in the Lotus Inn originally thought that Gao Xiaoyuan had finally recognized the fact that Xu Huan and Xu Minghui were in love with each other, and it was impossible for him to become husband and wife, so they checked out and quietly left the inn in frustration.

But when Wang Yin found the Lotus Inn to inquire about Gao Xiaoyuan's whereabouts two days after the end of the Flower Moon Festival, the four of them knew that Gao Xiaoyuan had never returned home since he left home and lived in the Lotus Inn.

Gao Xiaoyuan's parents knew his thoughts, thinking that after the Flower Moon Festival, no matter whether he had a fate with Xu Huan or not, he would always return home.

But when he waited until August 17, he couldn't wait for Gao Xiaoyuan, and the second elder was in a hurry.

Wang Yin was also so anxious that she jumped to her feet after hearing this, and immediately went separately from Gao Xiaoyuan's parents to find it.

Gao Xiaoyuan's parents went to look in and around the big garden held by the annual Flower Moon Festival, and Wang Yin came directly to the Lotus Inn.

Before arriving at the Lotus Inn, Wang Yin was full of hope that Gao Xiaoyuan was still living in the inn.

So when Xu Lianhua told Wang Yin that Gao Xiaoyuan had checked out and left as early as the tenth day of August, Wang Yin fainted on the spot.

Such a delicate young lady, a little girl who grew up richly, her delicate body that would break when touched couldn't stand the blow, and her nervous heart collapsed in an instant.

After waking up, Wang Yin grabbed the hand of the personal maid and asked, has Gao Xiaoyuan come back?

After Yahuan cried and shook her head, Wang Yin was quiet.

Yin Seventeen grabbed a word: "Quiet? ”

At that time, Xu Yili, Wenyuan, and the back kitchen were all men, different men and women, and Wang Yin was an unmarried girl, so after arranging Wang Yin, who suddenly fainted, to rest in the guest room on the second floor, only Xu Lianhua and Yahuan were waiting in the guest room.

Xu Yili didn't know the scene in the guest room at that time, he, Wen Yuan, and the back kitchen were all a little nervous outside the guest room, first heard Yahuan shouting "wake up" in surprise, then there was silence, and then Xu Lianhua rushed out with a white face.

Wen Yuan hugged Xu Lianhua at that time, didn't ask anything, just held her firmly in his arms, feeling her body shaking like a fallen leaf, he was very distressed.

Xu Yili and the kitchen were anxious about Wang Yin's situation, and they didn't ask any more, and no matter how hard they looked, they saw that Xu Lianhua was scared like that at that time, and they knew that it was not the time to ask.

What's more, Xu Yili is a person with extremely strong eyesight, even the back kitchen wanted to speak, so he pulled him back, shook his head and said, don't ask yet.

Wang Yin's door was closed, and Xu Yili and the back kitchen couldn't see the situation inside.

After Wen Yuan escorted Xu Lianhua downstairs, the two also went downstairs.

But they didn't dare to go far, both of them were guarding the counter, and from time to time they glanced at the end of the corridor, holding their breath and listening carefully to the movement of the corridor on the second floor, wanting to hear if anyone came out of the guest room.

If so, it may be Wang Yin.

With such a mood, Xu Yili took turns with the back kitchen that night, and looked at the end of the corridor no less than thirty times.

Gao Xiaoyuan didn't find it, but Wang Yin lived in the Lotus Inn, and lived in the guest room where Gao Xiaoyuan used to live, which is the one where Yin Seventeen lives now.

I stayed for more than half a month.

Yin Seventeen asked, "And then?" ”

Xu Yili said: "Then he left, let Yahuan settle the account early in the morning, and the master and servant got into the carriage that came to pick them up early and returned to the Wang family." ”

At that time, Xu Lianhua, who had avoided Wang Yin for half a month, suddenly appeared at the door of the inn and asked Xu Yili to follow to see if Wang Yin had really returned home.

Xu Yili was puzzled, but Xu Lianhua didn't say anything, and he had no choice but to listen to her first, and quietly stayed behind the Wang family's carriage, until he watched Wang Yin get out of the carriage and enter the Wang family's gate, and then he returned to the inn.

Yin Seventeen turned his head and asked Xu Lianhua: "When Wang Yin fainted and woke up again, what did the proprietress panic like that?" Later, let Steward Xu follow to confirm whether Wang Yin really returned home, probably something to do with it, right? ”

Xu Lianhua didn't answer immediately, she looked fixedly at the oil lamp on the table next to the wall, the faint yellow flames were beating one by one, and the wick that was burning inside was glowing with a ghostly red, which slowly made her have an illusion.

Her heart was pounding, Xu Lianhua got up, and even the stool she was sitting on fell to the ground due to her vigorous pushing.

But she still didn't realize it, her eyes were still looking at the red wick, her face gradually turned pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.

Xu Yili got up and asked eagerly:

"The hostess! What's wrong with you? ”

Even the counter shop Xiao Er was so frightened that he woke up from his sleep, and looked at Xu Lianhua's abnormal back in a daze.

Yin Seventeen also looked at Xu Lianhua worriedly.

The words came out of her, and Xu Lianhua's appearance at the moment made her a little frightened.

Thinking of the Wang Yin described by Xu Lianhua and Xu Yili, although delicate but daring to do things, she suddenly felt that after Wang Yin woke up six years ago, she must have said or done something shocking or vulgar!
