Chenzhou is an ancient city, the history of Bicao Villa is longer, many years ago it was not called Chenzhou, later the dynasty changed, a general surnamed Chen guarded the city gate, swore not to surrender, but also for the fleeing people to buy time to transfer, and finally blood spilled the city tower

In order to pay tribute to the general surnamed Chen, the local people renamed the city Chenzhou, and the newly enthroned emperor also admired the sincerity of the general, so he also waved his pen to approve the matter

Now Chenzhou is a prosperous apprentice, the noise of the busy traffic has covered up the traces of the war, and Chenzhou seems to have forgotten the pain of the past and is moving towards a new life

But this is only what the purple kite can feel when walking on the street during the day, and when the day is still dark, the people on the street are all hurrying home, locked, and even the shops are closed

Looking at their hurried steps, Mo Siyu frowned and casually stopped someone to ask

The man looked at the three of them and said with a worried face: "A few of them are outsiders, hurry up and find an inn to live in, and when it gets dark, there will be no place in the city to open the door."

"Why is this happening," Zi Kite saw that there was fear on the man's face, and he was very puzzled, saying that such a prosperous city as Chenzhou had rejected the brightly lit night, and he felt a little strange how to think about it

But the man looked at the darkening sky and said even more frightenedly: "As soon as it gets dark, the ghosts on the street will come out, and you outsiders should go find a place to hide."

With that, the man broke free impatiently and hurried away

The three of them exchanged glances, although they didn't know the situation yet, but after a little discussion, Mo Siyou thought that he should find an inn to live in first as the man said

At this moment, the streets of Chenzhou were already dark, the sky was blinding, and the sky gradually sank, and when the last trace of light and shadow was wandering, they finally found a place to stay, which was also the last inn that was still open, and only half of the door was not closed

Mo Siyou leaned against the door panel and said in a deep voice to the shopkeeper who poked his head out from behind the door panel: "Live in the store"

The shopkeeper looked at the three of them, the lights in the inn let out, stretching their gray shadows on the dark street, the shopkeeper confirmed something, nodded and beckoned to them, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Come on in."

The inn was still lit with candles, half-lit and half-dark, and the tables, chairs, and benches in the hall were neatly cleaned and empty

Mo Siyu looked around, and this silence always made him habitually vigilant

"There's only one room left, and a few of them can only be settled," the shopkeeper flipped through the housing records on the counter, then looked up and said apologetically to the three of them

Mo Siyu is not very familiar with the symmetry axis of this place, the merchants are prosperous, but they rarely participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and there is no successful martial arts sect here, but he has just seen that this inn is very large, to say that there are twenty or thirty rooms, and there is only one room left

"Are there a lot of outsiders in Chenzhou recently," Mo Siyu asked seemingly unintentionally, and he would learn as much as possible about the unknown things around him

The innkeeper smiled and said, "Like you, the twenty or so people who only came to the city today are from the south, and they are almost all occupied in this inn."

Purple Kite saw that the shopkeeper's eyes were about to turn into silver ingots, thinking about it, he had made a lot of money, and couldn't help but laugh, she couldn't help but quip: "When I entered the city today, I saw a notice posted at the gate of the city, saying that there was a group of deserters from the frontier who had recently wandered to the interior, and the shopkeeper, you should be careful."

The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again, and said in fear: "The little girl can say that she has to be auspicious, this place is cloudy, be careful of not being comfortable with herself."

Although the purple kite was afraid of those things, she was still amused by the shopkeeper

A pair of boots coming down the stairs heard their conversation and froze

Mo Siyu squinted at the stairwell when he heard the almost inaudible footsteps

On the stairs stood a stout man coming down from the second floor

Mo Siyu just looked at it lightly, and did not show an extra expression, but a faint color flashed under his eyes

The man swept away his eyes and ignored the three of them, and shouted directly at the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper will give the shopkeeper a few wine and food in the third room upstairs, and a few are hungry and find some supper to eat."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yo, the guest officer can't help it, the store is closed, the chef has already gone home, there is no one to get wine and food at this time, and the kitchen is in the backyard, and the small ones don't dare to venture through the yard to the kitchen, please forgive me......"

"What nonsense, let you get some wine and food, it's so wordy, why are you afraid that the grandfathers won't be able to pay, do you still want to do this business," the man said arrogantly

Jin Ling couldn't get used to it, and was about to say something to stop her, but she was quietly dragged by Mo Siyou, and she glanced at Mo Siyou, although he didn't understand what he was thinking about, his eyes clearly reminded her not to meddle

Jin Ling had to endure this breath, but she had a little pimple in her heart, Mo Siyou was also a dignified fourth disciple of Bicao Villa, so she swallowed her anger when she encountered injustice, but she couldn't say anything, after all, they had more important things now, Mo Siyou didn't want to make extraneous branches, and she was right

The purple kite squinted slightly, and the corner of her eyes glanced at Mo Siyou's expression, and there was a deep halo flickering

The shopkeeper helplessly begged for mercy and said: "Guest officer, just let go of the little one, now you really can't go out at this hour."

"You" The arrogant man's eyes widened, almost angry

Fortunately, someone behind him opened the door and shouted: "Ah Hu"

The arrogant man glanced at the equally burly man who leaned out of the room with half of his body, and his arrogant expression just now was much more restrained

The man behind frowned unhappily and roared roughly: "What are you making trouble at night, have you forgotten the instructions of the eldest brother, how can you hurry tomorrow when you are resting with the brothers?"

"Second brother......" The tone of the arrogant man also softened

"Go back to the room," the man who came later snorted unceremoniously, and although the arrogant man was still a little unwilling, he touched his stomach and obediently turned around and went upstairs

Jin Ling lost his smile, and it was really a thing to a thing

Later, the man didn't say anything more and closed the door

Jin Ling said to herself unhappily: "What a rude person" If it wasn't for Mo Siyou's blocking just now, with her personality, I'm afraid she would really want to teach that guy a lesson

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and gave the purple kite a compensation, not the purple kite, remembering his appearance just now that he would rather offend the guests than step out of this door half a step out, in his eyes, it seems that the outside world is purgatory on earth, is this ancient city of Chenzhou really so terrifying in the middle of the night

Jin Ling was also really curious, and went upstairs to push open a crack on the window of the room and look out

Thousands of houses were closed with doors and windows, empty streets, without a single bit of life, the wind was blowing softly, and the empty lanterns under the eaves were swaying incessantly, and in the distance, I don't know if it was a windmill or something, creaking slowly and lowly

The dark canopy gathered at some point, and a few huge dark clouds obscured the cold moonlight

All the noise fell silent as the clouds thickened, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep

"You two sleep in the bed and rest well, tomorrow morning, we will go to the street to inquire about the news of the Fang family, this place is a little unusual, it is not suitable to delay here," Mo Siyu said while making the bed

Since sleeping in the same room with Purple Kite, he has become accustomed to making the bed warmer, although this does not make the temperature on Purple Kite's body even higher

Zi Kite looked at Jin Ling, who was in a daze under the window, and actually didn't want to sleep with her in her heart, and Zi Kite was resistant to Nuwa's descendants, if it wasn't for bringing her, it would be more convenient to act, and there was also a not weak helper, so she didn't want to go with Jin Ling, she asked Mo Siyou: "What about you?"

Mo Siyou stood up straight, rubbed the purple kite's hair, and their height made his movements extremely smooth and gentle when standing face to face like this, and full of pampering

"This place is weird, I have to keep a vigil, you two have a good rest."

Purple Kite knew that if she said this again, Mo Siyou would only say that he was used to being on duty at night, as far as Mo Siyou was concerned, it was not a problem to stay up for three or four days easily, every time Purple Kite saw him stay up late, she couldn't help but think that if it was her, she would definitely have a nervous breakdown

Purple Kite asked again: "Brother You, what you mean by weirdness is outside the house or the guests living in this store?"

Mo Siyou looked at her clear eyes full of questions, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, not knowing whether she wanted to appease the purple kite or a playful look

"Why do you ask?"

"You know that those two people just now are not ordinary businessmen, right, hiding their identities like this, maybe the origin is not simple," Purple Kite Lao Luo answered Mo Siyou's question with facts

Mo Si's eyes were slightly constricted, with a deep look in his eyes, "You can see it too," his frowning brow was a thoughtful expression of habitual thought and vigilance maintained all year round

Purple Kite stretched out his hand to rub the knot in the center of his eyebrows, and said disapprerovitously: "I have already seen that the complexion of those two people is dark and red, and the skin is rough, obviously they are people who live in the northern border region all the year round, how do they look like southern merchants, and the person before walked without a sound, if the internal strength is cultivated, it will never be an ordinary businessman."

Listening to the purple kite's analysis, Mo Si couldn't help but quip: "You've become smarter."

"What makes you smart is that you are inherently smart," Purple Kite pouted and said, with a narcissistic smug look on her face, "I used to want you to have more opportunities to perform, so that you can come."

Mo Siyu couldn't help but scratch her nose, anyway, as soon as he touched her, his laughter was lower, I don't know how many times, looking at that pair of pink mouths, he could hang a pot of soy sauce bottles, if it weren't for the fact that there was a third person in the room, he would definitely lower his head and peck at her lip

However, Mo Siyu thought of Jin Ling and noticed that she had been standing at the window for a long time

The warm yellow candlelight shines through the gaps in the windows, giving a little light and shadow to the dark street

Dark clouds covered the sky over the ancient city, and the entire Chenzhou was simply out of sight

Jin Ling's sight has been staying in the dark, accustomed to the night, many things can be seen more clearly, plus this glimmer in front of her, she saw a dense green light from the alley not far away
