The baby had been scared away, and Xu Buling didn't care about this with the nightingale, so he turned up and walked to the window facing the street, and raised his hand to push the window open.

Bang

The sound of wind and rain was a little louder in an instant, and when I looked up, the town of Fenglingdu outside the window was shrouded in night and torrential rain, and the lights in the town were sparse, only the lanterns outside the inn wine shop were swaying in the wind and rain.

Xu Buling's inn is near the archway of the ghost gate, by the faint light outside the inn, you can vaguely see a figure leading the horse to the big white card, the rain curtain is too big, the figure appears from time to time, like a ghost wandering in the night.

In the window next door, the little nightingale leaned on the window and popped out her upper body, and said seriously:

"Childe, since we came here during the day, there are a total of five hundred and forty-two people who have passed through the ghost gate, and this is the only one who has come back, is it so difficult to run the rivers and lakes?"

Xu Buling sat at the window and took a sip of the wine gourd:

"Running the rivers and lakes is originally licking blood from the edge of the knife, but there will not be so few people who can finish it. Fenglingdu is located near Chang'an, the people of the rivers and lakes will definitely come to visit when they are young and just come out of the mountains, and so on the rivers and lakes for a few years, the thoughts of the fresh clothes and angry horses and swords in the world are basically worn out, and they simply run the rivers and lakes in order to live, so they naturally don't care about these. When An An lives to old age, he has seen everything he should have seen for the rest of his life, and there are even fewer people who are interested in running over and walking through the process as when he was young, so all we see are going out, and we don't see going back. ”

The nightingale nodded thoughtfully, looked at the figure that gradually became clear and led the horse to stand in front of the archway and hesitated, and said softly: "Come here in the rain at night, it's definitely not to see all the ways of life and come over to go through the motions, but also pay attention to this, it may be a young man who has not been deeply involved in the world, and he didn't want to mix the rivers and lakes after suffering some setbacks, so he ran over, right?"

Xu Buling chuckled: "I'm not an immortal, how can I know, but standing under the archway for so long and not stepping over, there must still be concerns and hesitation." ”

"Oh......"

The nightingale leaned down at the window for a moment, waited patiently for the figure to decide to cross the archway, took out a broken piece of silver from his sleeve, and threw it away at the entrance of the inn below.

The shopkeeper, who was leaning on the threshold and falling asleep, was smashed by a spirit, and quickly stood up, and was about to open his mouth to scold, when he saw the broken silver on the ground, his expression suddenly became extremely pleasing, and he picked it up and looked up:

"Oops~ two guest officers, if there is anything, please say hello......"

The nightingale stretched out his finger and pointed to the large archway in the center of the square: "There are people staying in the hotel, and they are not going to greet them." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and when he looked around, he found that there were people in the square who were rushing to the night, so he hurriedly picked up an umbrella from the gate and ran over to solicit customers.

After the nightingale finished commanding Xiao Er, he turned his head and grinned: "Do you want to hear the story?" ”

Xu Buling looked at the wine gourd in his hand, shrugged his shoulders slightly, jumped out of the window, tidied up his clothes a little, and walked down the stairs with the nightingale.

The nightingale walked behind Xu Buling, raised her eyes and glanced at it, suddenly took out a handkerchief from her arms, and handed it to Xu Buling:

"Childe, you wipe your face, you were gnawed by Sister Xiang'er......"

He spoke very seriously, without any shyness.

Xu Buling blushed, took the handkerchief and wiped the rouge off his face, and came to the hall of the inn.

In the middle of the night, the tenant shopkeeper had already slept, it was rainy and cold in late autumn, and there was a brazier burning in the lobby, and there was no one quietly.

The nightingale swept around, and suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the beam of the lobby:

"Childe, there's a bird!"

Xu Buling looked up, and in the shade above the beam, there was indeed a little sparrow squatting there, and it should be asleep if it didn't move.

"It's not surprising that the rain is so heavy that the birds know how to hide from the rain."

Xu Buling and Nightingale sat at the wine table next to the brazier, and within a moment, the shopkeeper led a man wearing a hat and a hat into the inn, raised his eyes and saw Xu Buling coming down, and hurriedly greeted politely:

"Are the two guest officers hungry? The cooks are all asleep, why don't you cook two bowls of noodles first? ”

Xu Buling was really hungry, and nodded: "Two bowls of egg noodles with green onions, and then warm a pot of wine." ”

"Holo."

The shopkeeper put down the umbrella and ran to the back kitchen diligently.

The man who followed in untied his coat and hat, hung them outside the door, and followed with a voice:

"I'm tired of the store to cook me a bowl too, just bring a pot of rice wine."

"Holo."

When the man had finished speaking, he also sat down at the wine table on the other side of the brazier, baking his wet trouser legs and sleeves.

Xu Buling glanced at it, the man was about thirty years old, tall, dressed in tight shorts, with wrist guards and leggings on his hands and feet, and a knife hanging behind his waist, two feet long and wrapped in black cloth. The dress didn't look shabby, but the expression on his face was a little lonely, and after sitting down, he stared at the brazier and didn't speak.

Xu Buling turned around and smiled a little:

"Why did Brother Tai come here so late?"

Fenglingdu is relatively close to the capital and belongs to the stable realm, the man raised his eyes and glanced at it, and saw that it was a weak scholar and a little girl, but he didn't show any wary expression, just shook his head and smiled:

"It's raining too much, it's hard to walk."

The nightingale looked like an innocent little maid, and wondered:

"There are inns around Fenglingdu, you can find a place to stay for one night when it rains, and your clothes are wet."

When the man heard this, he was a little silent and sighed softly:

"I'm running the rivers and lakes, I don't want to run anymore, so I'll come and walk through the ghost gate, which can be regarded as having a beginning and an end, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

Xu Buling let out an 'oh' and chuckled:

"The rangers on the rivers and lakes, I heard that they are all freshly dressed and angry, and they are very comfortable with their physique, and they think they are also a good hand on the rivers and lakes, why don't they run away?"

While speaking, Xiao Er came over with three bowls of noodles and two pots of wine and placed them on two tables.

The man picked up the chopsticks, put them down again, poured a bowl of rice wine instead, drank it all, and wiped his mouth:

"My brother seems to be a scholar, he takes it for granted, there is nothing to run in this river and lake, and there are few people who can be comfortable."

Xu Buling smiled lightly and poured himself a bowl of wine:

"In Xia Xu Shan, I took the maid out to study abroad, but I yearn for the rivers and lakes. Brother Tai's words are different from what I used to read in books. ”

The nightingale held the big noodle bowl and nodded seriously: "Yes, the book says that the people of the rivers and lakes come and go, what they want to do, how can they be uncomfortable." ”

The man may have been alone and held back a lot of words, and when he met two chicks who yearned for the rivers and lakes, he was also provoked. Shaking his head at the moment, he sighed lightly:

"The things written in the book are all coaxing little dolls, I Zhang Ingot has not been on the rivers and lakes for a long time, but I have also walked thousands of miles, and I have seen a lot of scenes, this is not interesting in the rivers and lakes, just two words - cannibalism!"

When Xu Buling heard this, he was really interested, and he also held the noodle bowl and looked at the man opposite:

"Why did Brother Tai say this?"
