Liu Yi and Xu got out of the carriage and walked straight into the store.

At the counter sat a middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen, looking at the ledger with his head bored, drowsy, as if he was in charge here.

Liu Yi snorted at the shopkeeper: "Shop, three bowls of somen noodles." ”

This river and lake is sinister, and it must not be easy for this store to be opened in the barren mountains and mountains, so you must be careful. Somen noodles are the most difficult to make, so Liu Yi ordered three bowls of somen noodles.

The shopkeeper shouted at the back kitchen: "Ye Niang! Three bowls of somen noodles! ”

In a moment, an old woman with a silver head came up with a drawer containing three bowls of somen noodles, and the old woman put the three bowls of somen noodles on the table and went down.

The old woman was hunched over, her neck leaned forward, her body as bloated as a thick stump, and she was dressed in a coarse cloth garment full of folds, wrinkled like a reptile on her face, and patches of age spots across her face. The bun looks haphazardly combed and a little frizzy.

Coincidentally, Zhuang Shanfang, who had just gone to settle the carriage, also returned.

Zhuang Shanfang whispered a few words in Liu Yi's ear, then walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper in a majestic voice: "Shopkeeper, please open two rooms for us." ”

The shopkeeper looked up at Zhuang Shanfang when he heard the sound, walked out of the counter and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, three guest officers, there are a lot of guests in this store today, and there is only one room left, otherwise the three of you are crowded?" ”

Zhuang Shanfang and Liu Yi looked around when they heard this, there was no one else around except for the shopkeeper and Ye Niang who had just come out, but this shopkeeper actually said that there were many guests, and there must be ghosts here.

Zhuang Shanfang pretended to agree: "Okay, one by one, when we finish eating, lead us to the room." ”

The shopkeeper answered.

Zhuang Shanfang walked back and sat down, and nodded towards Liu Yi, as if hinting at something.

The two didn't eat much, but Xu Yuanxuan ate more. Because it turned out that he ate less in the morning, Xujiaban had an unwritten rule - "clothes should not be too warm, and food should not be too full". First, to prevent getting sick after eating too much. Second, if everyone is full, then there will be some additional expenses. In addition, I ran back and forth between Yanxiu Pavilion and the Xu family's compound at noon, missed lunch, didn't eat much, and my stomach was already growling, and I felt that there was a big worm in my stomach wriggling when my stomach was growling, so I could only endure it.

Xu Yuan ate this bowl of somen noodles, only felt that it was unusually delicious, more delicious than any food he had ever eaten in his life, and he only felt that his body was a little fluttering, as if he was about to fly to Yaochi Sendai.

She seemed to sense something, but it seemed to be a little late.

When Xu Xuan finished eating, Zhuang Shan conveniently greeted the shopkeeper and sent them to the room.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and saw that Liu Yi and Zhuang Shanfang didn't have much somen in their bowls at all, so he asked, "Two guest officers, but the somen noodles are not to your liking?" Otherwise, the two guest officers ate so little. ”

Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "That's not it, it's just that we are in a hurry all day and are quite tired, so it's normal to eat less." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and said with a smile: "That's easy, the three guest officers come with me first, and I'll take you to the room." ”

Xu Yuan reluctantly took a step, only to feel that the sky was spinning, the earth was spinning again, the sky was spinning again, and she was also turning, but the direction of the rotation was different, she found that there must be a problem in this side, but it was already too late. She fell directly to the ground and fell asleep.

Zhuang Shanfang saw Xu Yuan, who had fallen behind him, and was about to pick him up, but was stopped by Liu Yi.

"Let me do it."

"But Childe, your hurt ......"

Zhuang Shanfang was a little embarrassed because he was afraid of pulling Liu Yi's wounds.

Liu Yi replied resolutely: "Don't worry about minor injuries." ”

"Yes, Childe."

Since Liu Yi insisted on doing that, Zhuang Shanfang would not stop him, so as not to make Liu Yi angry.

Liu Yi picked up Xu Yuanyuan, and the girl in his arms was much lighter than he thought. He originally thought that this little girl who could dance with a sword must have a little weight, but he didn't expect it to be so light, as light as a thin cloud, as if she would float away if she didn't hold it tightly.

He suddenly remembered Xu Yanjun, he had also hugged Xu Yanjun like this, that was when Rui and Princess got married, it was a year before he ascended the throne, and he was about to be canonized as the crown prince.

At the dinner that day, in the princess's mansion, the guests were full of guests.

Many people came to toast Liu Yi and Xu Yanjun, knowing that today was Princess Rui and Princess Marrying, and those who didn't know thought that today was Liu Yi's marriage.

All this is because someone in the court leaked the news that Liu Yi was about to be crowned the crown prince, and Liu Yi was quite holy this year, so most people believed it. In addition, the health of the saint is getting worse and worse, so they came to stammer their young master in advance.

Xu Yanjun didn't want to drink more when he came to Japan, but he was happy to see Yu Shubi, who had just married the eldest brother of Princess Rui and Princess Rui some time ago, and said that Yu Shubi was still the eldest sister-in-law of Princess Ruihe, so she naturally took over the work of organizing the wedding.

After marrying into King Yi's Mansion as a princess, Xu Yanjun was not as convenient as before, and he hadn't seen Yu Shubi for a long time. He was naturally happy to see Yu Shubi that day, so he drank two more glasses.

Liu Yi's alcohol consumption is acceptable, but Xu Yanjun is a little bad.

Although Xu Yanjun was used to living on the northwest border before, because of the strict rules and iron rules of the military camp, she did not have the opportunity to touch wine, so naturally the amount of alcohol was a mess, and she poured after drinking two glasses.

When he was about to go home, Xu Yanjun was already drunk and was meeting Zhou Gong in a dream.

So, Liu Yi hugged Xu Yanjun, this was the second time he hugged Xu Yanjun, the first time was in the royal autumn hunt. This time it was heavier than the last time, and it seemed that Xu Yanjun was fat in the palace.

At that time, Liu Yi showed a satisfied smile.

Xu Yanjun in his arms was still shouting "Ah Yi, Ah Yi" when he dreamed, and Liu Yi was more sure that Xu Yanjun loved him deeply in his heart.

At that time, he wanted to spread his wings and fly high, not only for himself, but also for the fate of the Xu family.

But at that time, he didn't know that even if it was himself who ascended the throne, not his second brother, the Xu clan would also perish, but the people who killed the clan were different.

The shopkeeper led them to the room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, next to the stables.

The shopkeeper pushed open the door, Liu Yi and Zhuang Shanfang walked in, and Liu Yi carefully put Xu Yuanyuan in his arms on the bed.

At the moment when Liu Yi put down Xu Yuanyuan, he smelled a faint fragrance on Xu Yuanyuan's body.

After the shopkeeper went out, Liu Yi and Zhuang Shanfang sat at the table, and Zhuang Shanfang poured a glass of water with a small porcelain pot on the table and was about to drink it.

said that it was too late, Liu Yi directly slapped the cup in Zhuang Shanfang's hand, and roared in a low voice: "This water can't be drunk, there may be something wrong with this water." ”

The cup clattered to the ground and rolled on the ground several times.

"There must be ghosts in this inn."

"Childe, why don't you leave quickly?"

"In this barren mountain range, if you go out and encounter a beast or something, let's try it here."

"Childe, I just went to the stable to see it, and there was only one horse in it. If it's full, why is there only one horse? It doesn't make sense. ”

"And when I first came over, I found that the lights in those rooms were all off, and now the night is not very deep, how can I sleep all of them? Those rooms should be empty, if I guessed correctly. ”

"But why would the shopkeeper lie to us, it doesn't make sense, if we open two rooms, we will have to pay for two rooms, it really doesn't make sense, but those rooms do look empty."

"That means there must be a ghost in the middle."

Liu Yi said that kind of affirmation.

Zhuang Shanfang wanted to continue, but Liu Yi immediately covered Zhuang Shanfang's mouth with his hand and whispered, "Don't make a sound, there are people outside." ”

Zhuang Shanfang looked out of the door, there was really a rare figure outside the door.

The figure couldn't hear Liu Yi and Zhuang Shanfang talking, so he knocked on the door and said, "Two guest officers, I heard that you are tired from traveling today, so I specially sent warm sake to relieve the fatigue of the two guest officers. ”

The voice is a little hoarse, and I can vaguely feel that it is a female voice. If you guessed correctly, it should be Ye Niang who came up just now.

Liu Yi responded: "Come in." ”

Ye Niang gently knocked open the door with her elbow and came in with a wooden drawer in her hand.

The wooden drawer contains a small porcelain pot and two small porcelain cups, printed with some intricate patterns, which looks very exquisite, not like a wilderness restaurant will use, the general wilderness restaurant will directly serve two large bowls and unopened wine jars, and this porcelain pot is so small, at most two small porcelain cups are poured so much.

Ye Niang put the wooden drawer on the table, and then used a small porcelain pot to pour wine for the two of them, the two small porcelain cups had just been poured seven points full, and they couldn't pour the wine anymore, and they didn't know that it was Qiong juice and jade wine, it was so rare.

Ye Niang carefully gave the wine glass she had just poured to Liu Yi, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, please drink, this is the special wine of our inn, specially for passing travelers." ”

Not to mention that Ye Niang's face is extremely old, but her hands are white and small, but Wan doesn't look like an old woman's hand, but like the hand of a young girl in her early twenties. But there are age spots on my hands, and I feel that I have deliberately painted them.

Liu Yi didn't take the wine glass handed over by Ye Niang, and said coldly: "Put the wine there, let's drink it later." ”

Ye Niang's hand froze in mid-air, and the original pile of laughter froze there.

The old woman's eyes rolled in her sockets, as if she was thinking about something again, and then said: "The two guest officers should drink it quickly, this wine will not be effective if it has been opened for too long, so it is better to drink it quickly, so as to relieve the fatigue of the day's journey." ”

Even if the old woman said that, Liu Yi and Zhuang Shanfang were still indifferent, and continued: "The two guest officers should drink it quickly......

Before the old woman could finish speaking, Liu Yi spoke: "Old woman, you go out first, if the two of us still have to talk, when the talk is over, we will drink this wine, and it will not be wasted." ”

Since Liu Yi had issued an eviction order, the old woman couldn't force it, so she had to go back in a huff, and she couldn't stop scolding these two people in her heart.
