After inquiring about the current situation of the Fan family, Yin Fusheng felt that he could not delay any longer, and planned to go to Jiexiu Fan's house the next day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yin Dezhong also wanted to go, but Xu pulled him and didn't let him go.

found all kinds of reasons, in fact, I was afraid that my son would be in danger.

Early in the morning, Yin Fusheng hired a carriage, simply brought some local products, and went on the road with Li Yan'er.

Jiexiu is located in the south of Taiyuan Prefecture, the boundary of Fenzhou.

Because of the history of the Spring and Autumn Period Jie Zitui, the Eastern Han Dynasty Guo Linzong and the Northern Song Dynasty Wen Yanbo three sages, so it was named "the hometown of the three sages".

"Childe, after getting off this mountain, you will go to Jiexiu. It's just that it's already dark, and even if we get to Jiexiu, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in. I see a small inn in front of me, why don't you spend the night and then enter the city tomorrow. ”

Yin Fusheng lifted the curtain, and looked up at the sky, it was indeed late.

"Okay, let's rest at the inn ahead."

At a short time, the carriage stopped.

Yin Fusheng and Li Yan'er got out of the car back and forth.

In front of the car, a simple mountain inn, made of wood and stone, without a store name, only on both sides of the dilapidated wooden door, pasted with faded Spring Festival couplets, on which the ink has also faded and grayed.

Li Yan'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, someone alertly opened a crack in the door.

The innkeeper was a middle-aged man with some stubble.

He looked Li Yan'er and Yin Fusheng behind her up and down through the crack in the door.

"We're going to stay in a hotel!"

Li Yan'er saw that this person didn't have the slightest enthusiasm for hospitality, and said unhappily.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind the middle-aged man.

"It's a hotel, let people come in."

Before the woman's voice fell, the middle-aged man slammed the door shut.

Li Yan'er glanced back at Yin Fusheng inexplicably, and then continued to knock on the door.

"Hey, we're going to stay in the hotel! Why don't you open the door? ”

Behind the door, there was an argument between a woman and a middle-aged man.

"People live in the hotel, you open the door quickly!"

"What if it's another bandit?"

"Don't you see? A girl, a scholar, can you be a bandit?! ”

"You know what? Those bandits are very cunning! ”

"You're really ......, and if you do this, even if there are no bandits, we will starve to death."

……

After a long silence, the door to the inn opened.

This time it was the woman who came out, smiling and greeting, "The two of you live in the hotel?" Please come in. ”

Li Yan'er had just heard the bandits, and she was a little excited. When I entered the inn, I kept asking.

"Do you have bandits here?"

"Yes, girl, I made a lot of trouble a while ago. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to open the door to anyone casually. ”

The woman took Yin Fusheng and Li Yan'er into the inn.

In the inn, it's not much better than outside. The worn-out tables and chairs, the torn window paper, the cobwebs in the corners, and the crumbling staircase all show the desolation of this place.

It's just that there is a row of wine jars in the corner, which looks very new.

The inn was unusually quiet and apparently unoccupied.

Taking advantage of the gap between the woman and Li Yan'er's talk, Yin Fusheng looked around.

"With me here, don't be afraid of those bandits!"

Li Yan'er raised her fist and said confidently.

The woman smiled and pointed upstairs, "There's a guest room up there, I'll take you there." ”

Following the woman upstairs, Yin Fusheng asked, "Is there any food?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "Yes, yes, there is a fire burning in my house." It's all coarse food of some mountain people, I don't know if you can eat it? ”

Yin Fu said: "It's hot, we don't pick." ”

As she spoke, the woman had opened a room and asked Yin Fusheng to enter. Then, he walked next door, pushed open the door, and said to Li Yan'er: "The girl lives next to her." ”

"Thank you, lady."

After Li Yan'er thanked her, she walked into the room with great interest and looked around.

"I'll pour hot water for the two of you."

The woman stood outside the two rooms and said a word, and went downstairs.

After that, the woman came up and gave her water and water for her hands.

After a while, the food came up.

"It's so fragrant~"

Yin Fusheng smelled this meal, but it was not something that ordinary craftsmanship could make.

Li Yan'er was also hungry, so she grabbed a chopstick and put it in her mouth.

"Delicious, delicious."

Yin Fu praised: "The boss is good at crafting, why don't you go to the city to be a cook?" ”

The woman laughed.

"You really know how to speak, our mouth is just fooling around in the mountains, how can you get into the restaurant. Hehehe......"

The woman laughed and said, "Okay, you two use it slowly, I'll pour wine for you." ”

After the woman left, Yin Fusheng took the chopsticks and slapped Li Yan'er's hand fiercely.

"Oops~, Brother Fusheng, what are you doing ......?"

"You're not afraid of poison in the dish?"

Li Yan'er slapped her head, "Ah! Yan'er was hungry and forgot about it. ”

"You can forget about the deadly things. What a ......."

Yin Fusheng was helpless, took out Tian Rong's silver needle from his sleeve, and quickly tried the poison in each dish. Then, he picked up the silver needle, and there was no sign of blackening on the surface of the silver needle.

"It's not poisonous." Li Yan'er said happily.

"The wine is coming~"

Hearing the sound, Yin Fusheng put the silver needle into his sleeve.

The proprietress went up to the second floor with a jug of wine.

After a few casual words, the proprietress went out and took the door with her.

Yin Fusheng took out the silver needle again, stirred it in the wine, and took it out to see it.

"It's not poisonous."

"I'll just say that Brother Fusheng, you are so careful, you see how good the boss lady is."

"Yes, let's eat it quickly. After eating, I will rest early, and I will have to go into the city early tomorrow morning. ”

"Hmm~"

Li Yan'er responded while eating.

"I'm tired indeed. I used to be in a hurry or something, Yan'er never felt tired, and somehow, I especially wanted to sleep today~"

Li Yan'er didn't eat a few bites, then yawned and stood up.

"Brother Fusheng, Yan'er is no longer good, she is sleepy. I'll go back to sleep first. ”

After Li Yan'er finished speaking, she stretched her waist and went back to the house.

"This girl~"

Seeing Li Yan'er, Yin Fusheng also felt stuffy and drowsy.

"I'm sleepy too."

Yin Fusheng shook his head, got up and touched the side of the bed, and fell asleep.

At this time, the sky outside was already dark, and the wind was whirring.

The so-called moon and dark wind and high night are a good time to kill people.

The white moonlight sprinkled on the mountain inn, making it inexplicably exude a trace of weirdness.

In the inn, the boss and the proprietress held torches, tiptoed up to the second floor, quietly licked the broken window paper, and peeked in.

Yin Fusheng and Li Yan'er were sleeping soundly with their heads covered by the quilt.

Outside the house, the boss and the proprietress looked at each other and smiled, slightly hooking the corners of their mouths. Against the backdrop of the firelight, the mask of hypocrisy was torn off, revealing a hideous face.

The two of them quietly and quickly locked the room, and then, opening the wine jug, the liquid spilled on the doors and windows of the room, the stairs of the inn, and everywhere.

The two then walked out of the inn and left the torches behind them.

In an instant, this dilapidated mountain inn was on fire behind the two......
