Chapter 263: The Ruins of the Inn

"You stay in the carriage, and I'll go down and see what's going on."

Ouyang Kai suddenly proposed to leave, Zhao Yiyi felt a little strange, something should have happened, so she ordered Zhou Yi and Murong Qianqian to stay in the carriage, and she got out of the car to find out the situation.

Of course, she knew that Ouyang Kai was not a human being, because not long ago, Ouyang Kai had already solved the physiological problem.

What's more, Ou Wenkai is talking about leaving for two hours, and whoever solves the physiological problem (eh, here specifically refers to the size number) needs two hours, then it must not make the person collapse.

"Oh, good!"

Zhou Yi and Murong Qianqian replied in unison, this trip would have encountered all kinds of emergencies, so it was better not to cause chaos for Ouyang Kai and Zhao Yi, and stay in the carriage obediently.

Seeing that the two nodded in agreement, Zhao Yiyi opened the door and got out of the car, and after closing the car door, he asked Ouyang Kai out loud,

"What's the ......?"

After getting out of the car, Zhao Yiyi habitually looked at the situation around the carriage, and only half of the words to ask Ou Chuangkai were spoken, and she stopped,

What greeted Zhao Yiyi's eyes was a piece of ruins, scorched earth and black charcoal remnants, which looked a little sad against the backdrop of the sunset.

"I burned it after I came down the mountain."

Seeing the surprise in Zhao's eyes, Ouyang Kai spoke.

"Is this a house?"

In this wilderness, the possibility of people appearing is not impossible, but Zhao Yiyi looked around, and there were no people, and the probability of people appearing alone was too small.

And judging from the scale, this building is not small, and most people will not build such a tall building, the only thing that can explain it is that this ruin was an inn for passers-by to rest.

"Yes."

Of course, this is an inn, and the guests will not be able to come out of the inn after entering it, if it weren't for Ouyang Kai's carefulness, he would have been tricked at the beginning.

"Is there anything odd about it?"

In fact, there is such an inn, and it is good for passers-by to rest and rest, but it is a pity that it is reduced to ruins.

However, Zhao Yiyi didn't mean to blame Ouyang Kai, Ouyang Kai was not a bad guy who killed people and set fires, and did all kinds of evil, and he should have a reason for burning down this inn.

"This is a black shop, which is occupied by Huo Chi Lian and poisonous scorpions, and they use it to make money."

Ouyang Kai did not hide Zhao Yiyi, and told her the details of this inn,

At the beginning, in this inn, after taking the medicine of the two five poisonous beasts, Ouyang Kai did not have any poisoning reaction, but just pretended to be poisoned and fainted.

He could hear the conversation in the inn clearly, this inn had already slaughtered many guests before he arrived, and it was not wrong to say that it was a place where Huo Chi Lian and poisonous scorpions collected money.

"Guo Hong and Xu Xing!"

Zhao Yiyi immediately thought of the red-clothed Huo Chilian Guo Hong and the seemingly honest poisonous scorpion Xu Xing, but he didn't expect the two of them to go to such a place to open a black shop.

"Yes, they're already buried here."

When he first learned that the shopkeeper and proprietress of the inn were Xu Xing, the poisonous scorpions that everyone in the rivers and lakes shouted at, and Huo Chilian Guo Hong, Ouyang Kai also felt a little surprised.

At that time, the two of them did not have weapons in their hands, to be precise, Guo Hong did not have weapons.

Guo Hong is good at archery, known as a hundred steps through Yang, even if he used Ouyang Kai's Qinghong Sword that time, he couldn't compete with Ouyang Kai who used a dagger.

Xu Xing has no fixed weapons, except for using poison, what he is best at is hidden weapons, and all small and light things have the potential to become his weapons.

What Ouyang Kai didn't feel right was that he didn't use poison when he fought with these two Five Poison Beasts, and he still hadn't figured it out.

"There should be something wrong around here, I'll take a look, the master can take Qianqian and Yi'er forward, just find a place to spend the night, I'll follow later."

Originally, Ouyang Kai meant that they would wait here for two hours, and he would find a place to spend the night after he came back.

But now that the sun is about to set, it may not be two hours before he goes, so it is better for them to find a place to spend the night first.

"Then I'll take them to the front to find a place to spend the night first, and you can come back as soon as possible."

This place is not very comfortable to look at, after all, it is dead, Zhao Yiyi thinks it is better to stay away from it, so as not to scare the two girls.

Ouyang Kai is not very worried, in case something happens, even if she can't beat it, she still has the kung fu to escape, so she won't be able to come back.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Ouyang Kai said, turned around and walked quickly towards the ruins.

That time Zhou Yi was poisoned, he was worried that he would encounter some accidents, and after setting fire to the inn, he left with Zhou Yi on his back.

Then the next day, he continued on the way to Dangzhou City, this inn was burned to the ground for the first time he had seen it, and he hadn't checked what was near the inn.

Walking around the ruins, Ouyang Kai could be sure that someone had been here after the fire, and it was certain that these people should have some relationship with Guo Hong and Xu Xing.

Because at the scene, there was not a single body left,

There were definitely not a few thieves he solved here that time, and if no one had dealt with them, the scene would definitely not be like this.

As for whether the government has dealt with it, Ouyang Kai can be sure that it is not, because there is no trace of the entire ruins being rummaged through.

If the government comes, it will definitely turn the entire ruins upside down in order to find clues to solve the case.

However, there was no trace of the scene being rummaged through, and the only place that was turned over should be the last place where Xu Xing fell.

But after a few months of ups and downs, many traces are gone, and Ouyang Kai can't see anything.

Looking around, there is a mountain across the lake behind the inn, which is the highest mountain near the inn.

Ouyang Kai thought about it and went straight to the mountain.

Standing on the top of that mountain, you should be able to see the situation nearby.

Ouyang Kai knew the truth of running a dead horse in the mountains, but instead of blindly circling around, it was better to spend some effort running up the top of that mountain.

Anyway, for him, it's really just a matter of effort.

It's not that he hasn't tried climbing a mountain, compared to Thundering Mountain, this mountain is simply a younger brother mountain.

The current situation is that he is still some distance away from reaching the base of that mountain and needs to take some time to cross the lake.

Ouyang Kai didn't choose to go around the shore, because it would take more time, and the difficulty of walking on land was actually about the same as walking on the lake.

There are two boats on the lake, Ouyang Kai thinks that it should be used to cross the lake, compared to walking on the shore, it is obviously more labor-saving to take a boat.

Ouyang Kai did not choose the boat as a means of transportation, he was very confident in his light skills, this lake is not small, but it is definitely not big, and it should be similar to the swamp under Jiu'an Mountain.

The water of the lake is quite clear, and after Ouyang Kai steps on the surface of the lake, he can see the situation under the lake.

After arriving at the center of the lake, Ouyang Kai's heart tightened, and under the surface of the lake, he vaguely saw some terrible things.

The black spot is the black shop, at the bottom of the lake, Ouyang Kai can see that in addition to the schools of fish swimming, there are some cloth-like things swinging, and some look like they are about to float up.

This should be the clothes of a passer-by who encountered an accident in a black shop.

When passing by this inn, they wanted to come in and rest, but they were unexpectedly blackmailed by Guo Hong and Xu Xing, who took their money and their lives, and then tied them to the stones and sank them into the lake.

That's why the clothes didn't float up, they got tangled with the stones, and they swayed with the movement of the water at the bottom of the lake.

In the gap between the swings of his clothes, Ouyang Kai could see the white bones under his clothes, and suddenly felt that the fish he had eaten was not fragrant.

The location of this inn is really good, suitable for Guo Hong and Xu Xing to do black shop business.

Sinking a slaughtered passer-by into the lake is simply perfect.

This lake is a freshwater lake, and the corpse under the lake will soon be disposed of by the creatures in the lake, except for a white skeleton and a set of clothes, nothing will be left behind,

Moreover, the water in the center of the lake is deep, if it weren't for a master like Ouyang Kai, he wouldn't have seen anything abnormal at the bottom of the lake.

After spending a little time crossing the lake, Ouyang Kai successfully reached the other side of the lake, unlike what he imagined, there was no place to park boats here, and it seemed that those boats were not used to cross the lake.

Thinking of the scene under the center of the lake, Ouyang Kai had a plan in his heart.

The purpose of this boat is to pull the slaughtered guests to the center of the lake and sink them.

Ouyang Kai didn't think too much about it, it didn't make sense for him to continue to investigate these things, the murderers had already been ambushed, and it would be just a waste of time to pursue them, so he continued to move towards the peak.

He didn't want to spend his time on such inconsequential things, he had to check around the neighborhood in a hurry and rush back.

After all, it was just an accident that he was doing this now, and taking Zhao Yiyi, Murong Qianqian, and Zhou Yi back to Thundering Mountain was the purpose of this trip, if he hadn't passed through here, he wouldn't have returned to this place alone.

And he didn't know what the situation was nearby, he had to speed up, in case something happened to Zhao Yiyi, he could also rush back in time.

Ouyang Kai felt fortunate that the situation of Wangshan running a dead horse did not appear, and he soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

This mountain is indeed the highest in the ruins of the inn, here, Ouyang Kai found a path to the top of the mountain, but looking at the road conditions, no one has walked it for a while, and it took half an hour to run from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

As soon as he reached the top of the mountain, most of the sun had already set behind the mountain in the west, and the last trace of afterglow hit Ouyang Kai's face, turning Ouyang Kai's face yellow.

The night was coming soon, and Ouyang Kai was looking at everything around the mountain peak in the gray sky.

"Strange, how could it not be?"
