As time passed, I became more and more anxious, and I seemed to hear the sound of light footsteps in my ears, had the innkeeper been back? Maybe they're looking for me.

I frowned, knowing I couldn't disappear for long. Looking at the person on the bed, I gently touched her hand: "Mingzhu, don't worry, I will definitely save you." ”

With that, I quickly left the room and returned to the room. As soon as she sat down, the proprietress came, holding a tray with a hot meal in it.

She had a warm smile on her face: "It's been a long time." The dishes and chopsticks are set, and the food is put away, "Come, girl, eat quickly, it will be cold later." ”

How dare I eat the food made by a dead man, let alone a dish that has been dead for hundreds of years. I didn't dare to show it, so I had to pretend to pick up the chopsticks and take a bite of rice.

Looking at the snow-white and lovely rice, but after the mouth, it has a gritty-like texture, clicking, and my tongue is turning in my mouth, and I swear I have bitten into a small gravel.

"Isn't the food delicious?" The innkeeper asked earnestly.

I vaguely coped: "Well, that's good. "I took another piece of thin pork belly, and after a few chews, it stuck to my taste buds like a puddle of mud, and the taste was indescribable.

I came from an orphanage, so I'm not a person who can't endure hardship, but to be honest, this kind of food makes it extremely difficult to swallow.

She stood by and watched me eat, and although she didn't look up, she could feel that strange enthusiasm staring at me. I can't do anything if I want to.

Finally finished the small bowl of rice, and the proprietress took the empty bowl with a smile and made a gesture to add food to me, but I stopped it in time: "No need, I'm full." ”

"What a girl's appetite. No wonder it's so thin. Her bright eyes looked at me, "It's better for girls to be fat, blessed." ”

She saw that I was very uncomfortable, stood up and pretended to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked her casually: "The store is very busy, by the way, why didn't you see the boss?" ”

It is inevitable to leave this ghost place with Mingzhu, and the first thing to do now is to find out the enemy's situation.

"He's greeting guests in the lobby." The proprietress had a shyly smile on her face.

Oh, it seems that the husband and wife are in harmony, but as far as I know, there are cracks between the husband and wife who are even harmonious. Looking at her, I had an idea in my heart, and pretended to joke with her: "The boss lady and the boss have a good relationship?" The boss must love you, huh? ”

She stomped her foot coquettishly, pinched her throat and said, "Hey, girl, don't say it." He walked away with the dishes and chopsticks, and when he was about to reach the door, he turned around and glared at me shyly, "I hate it!" ”

"......" I was speechless for a moment. I felt the goosebumps on my body stand up.

Thinking that she should not come back so soon, I seized the opportunity to come to the room where Mingzhu was again, and just walked to the door and was about to push the door in, when suddenly a figure appeared.

"Why did the girl come out?"

I withdrew my hand, turned around and said, "I'm too full, come out for a walk, digest and digest, hehehe." ”

"Oh? Yes. The proprietress raised her eyebrows slightly and looked behind me.

I've worked in sales, and I'm good at judging expressions and guessing the other person's mind through subtle gestures. Her voice curled up as she spoke, and the small movements on her eyebrows and eyes clearly revealed her suspicion of me.

"Of course, doesn't the proprietress believe me?" I looked straight at her, and the first thing to win someone's trust was to look at her, with a firm look in her eyes and not dodging her gaze.

The proprietress stared at my eyes for a moment, and then chuckled: "Look at what you said, the girl is a guest, how can I not believe it?" ”

She stepped forward, took my arm, and said as she went, "I'm afraid that the girl won't know the road and take a fork in the road, and it won't be good to disturb other guests." You say yes, right? "The words are beautiful, but the hand that pressed my arm was amazingly strong.

"It's me who is not good." I barely smiled: "I can walk on my own." She tried to withdraw her arm, but she held on to her forcefully.

I looked up and frowned, "What is this for?" ”

The proprietress sneered: "You see, she still treats us for fools." ”

I was stunned, who was she talking to?

Suddenly, a man came out from behind me, the same late Qing robe, with dark gray cloth shoes on his feet, half of his head shaved and a thick braid hanging down his back—it was the man in the photograph, the owner of this strange inn.

The boss walked up to the proprietress and the two stood together, shoulder to shoulder, the corners of their mouths curled together, but their eyes were cold.

The proprietress asked faintly, "She knows?" ”

I silently stepped back, pretending to know nothing: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

The boss sneered: "I'm still pretending to be stupid." He held out his hand and pointed to the guest room, "I saw you coming out of it with my own eyes." ”

"You talk nonsense! Your wife said you were in the lobby, so how do you know what's going on here? You're the one who liars! I retorted to buy time as I moved on my feet.

With a bang, the boss stepped over, propped up his palm on the door, and stared at me with a cold gaze: "Want to go?" Too late! ”

I was so frightened that I kicked him so hard that before the shoes could touch, he disappeared in a turn, and in a panic the door was pushed open, and I stumbled into the house.

"Girl, who are you looking for?" Before I could stand firmly, the face of the proprietress came up, and my heart trembled in horror, and I shook my hand to slap it.

The proprietress was blindfolded, and then ran towards me in a rage: "Little slut, I'm going to kill you!" ”

I dodged all the way, step by step, and when I retreated to the table and chair, I was about to reach out to move a weapon, but before my hand touched the chair, someone was holding it tightly, and when I turned my head, the boss who had just disappeared appeared behind me again.

"You let go!" I was anxious and afraid, I couldn't break away from his strength, and the angry proprietress over there was approaching, in a dilemma, I gritted my teeth, strangled his neck with my backhand, and rushed forward with all my strength.

"Ahhhh

The proprietress looked panicked and seemed to be disoriented under her feet, left or right? The moment she hesitated, my strength was exhausted and I was vigorously flipped by the boss, and the whole person was thrown out.

"Ugh!" The body hit the wooden bed and bounced back, and finally fell heavily to the ground. I was dizzy and struggled to stand up and look at the couple with poor faces.

"Hmm......" The sleeping beauty on the bed let out a sigh, which immediately made everyone stop moving.

With black hair and white skin, thick wavy long curls scattered behind her, the beauty sat up with her head covered, and showed a surprised expression when she saw me: "Xiao Huan? What are you doing here? ”

"Hey." I propped myself up on the side of the bed and gave her a bitter hello.

"Where is this?" Mingzhu looked around suspiciously, and when his eyes swept over the couple, he paused, and there was a hint of sluggishness in his tone, "It's so familiar, I feel like I've seen you somewhere......"

I tried to stand up, but I felt sore, and I couldn't help but curse, didn't it become transparent? It stands to reason that it should be the same as air, and there is no feeling, right?

Mingzhu thought for only half a minute, and immediately came to his senses: "Ah! You are the ...... in the photo" Halfway through the words, she grabbed my hand with a surprised expression, "Xiao Huan, what the hell is going on?" ”

What's going on? I want to cry without tears.

I want to know, too.
