Chapter 55: A Late Autumn Night
In the evening, the Hongchen Inn did not close until a long time.
After Fu Bo boiled the hot water, Song Kai put down the long knife in his hand, wiped his sweat, and said, "Fu Bo, today you and Tie Shan still go to sleep at the bun shop." ”
Ah Fu wiped his sweat and muttered, "What do you mean, Da Lang." ”
Zhao Tieshan on the side waved the meteorite kitchen knife angrily, "What else can it mean, it is clearly that the two of us have ruined the good things between him and Miss Nie, hum!" ”
When Ah Fu heard this, he laughed, "Ouch, you see I'm so confused, okay, Da Lang, I'll go over there with Zhao Tieshan." ”
Zhao Tieshan stomped his foot unconvinced, "If it weren't for Song Lang being the shopkeeper and I just being a buddy, I bet that the bell girl would definitely take a fancy to me and not him." ”
Song Kai waved his hand, "Okay, let's go." ”
Afu pulled Zhao Tieshan out of Hongchen Inn, Nie Ling stroked her hair, and came from the front hall, she had just finished accounting the accounts.
"What's going on? You let them sleep outside again? Nie Lingdang asked, although there were only two people staying in the entire inn at night, she and Song Kai were the only two people to stay, but Nie Lingdang was not worried, but slept more steadily.
"Well," Song Kai carried water, "wash and sleep, by the way, have you hidden all your money?" ”
"I've hidden it, I don't know what's going on with you lately, why are you always cautious, are you still afraid that there will be Jiang Yang thieves," Nie Ling muttered.
Song Kai just smiled, and then helped Nie Lingdang carry a few buckets of water, and the two of them took a bath in the room.
After taking a shower, both of them changed into clean clothes, playing chess and chatting without mentioning.
As usual, at about eight o'clock, Nie Ling was ready to go back to his room to sleep.
"Remember ...... night"
"I know, remember to cover the quilt at night and don't take off your clothes, it's really wordy," Nie Ling waved his hand and walked back to his room.
Song Kai lay on the bed and sighed slightly, it has been more than a week, Suzhou City is still peaceful, and Hongchen Inn is also safe and sound, maybe he thinks too much, maybe Yang Huaiyan really gave up, maybe that Yang Rongguang stopped his son's behavior.
Close your eyes.
Nie Ling's voice came from next door to the house, "Song Kai, are you worried about Yang Huaiyan?" ”
"Yes, yesterday he led people into the inn and wanted to arrest you, so I was even more worried," Song Kai said.
"Song Kai," Nie Ling next door was silent for a while, "Don't worry, I know I'm a trouble after all, but my trouble should leave soon." ”
"Why? Are you leaving? Song Kai asked suspiciously.
"It should be soon, there has been a business trip back from the Holy City recently, I heard that the turmoil in the Holy City is about to stop, and it won't be long before I can return to the Turkic Holy City," Nie Ling said in a low voice, with a little reluctance.
"You are not my trouble, Bell, this trouble was caused by myself, you and I should be called fate, whether you believe it or not, the first person I knew, in fact, was you, the day you fled to the inn, in fact, it was also the first day of my new life, I forgot all the past, the first name I remembered, called Nie Bell." Song Kai pillowed his arms and said slowly.
Next door is a long silence, and then silence.
"You slept? Good night then," Song Kai also closed his eyes.
"If ......"
After a long time, two words suddenly popped out next door to the wooden plank.
Song Kai asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" And what if? ”
"If I invite you to the Holy City, I sincerely invite you to go, you ...... Would you like to go back with me? Nie Ling used all his strength to finally ask his own question.
Song Kai thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, it will." ”
"Really?" The sound next door was a pleasant surprise.
"Of course, if I'm desperate, I'm going to go over there to join you, but now, you see, I have a house and a horse, and I don't want to leave," Song Kai laughed.
Nie Ling snorted, with a bit of joy in his voice, "It's really a little family, you have a little family business, I can reward you ten times more with a wave of my hand in the Holy City." ”
Song Kai laughed.
The two men talked and fell asleep with their eyes closed.
The night was dark.
It's late autumn.
In the second half of the night, the cold autumn night enveloped the entire city of Suzhou.
In the quiet Dongchengfang, the voice of the husband came.
"It's dry, be careful...... Knock knock knock ......"
The old man yawned and knocked the gong in his hand, he tightened his clothes, and the cold air of late autumn was close to his bones.
Recently, the security in Suzhou City has been very good, and he has only gone through the motions.
A crow flew up from the treetops with a "quack" and quickly left.
The old man shuddered in fright, and then laughed at himself, "I'm old, and I'm still afraid of this thing?" ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
There was a slight sound of footsteps.
The old man's spirit tensed again, and he quickly turned around, but there was no one on the street, "Who is it?" ”
The old man shouted tremblingly, and he suddenly remembered a legend that every autumn, the little ghost of the City God Temple often carried a sedan chair and walked on the street at night, and if he was bumped into by a living person, he would definitely be sick.
Thinking of this, the old man hurriedly leaned close to the wall, for fear that he would collide with the ghost who was hurrying.
"Bang Bang ......"
The footsteps are clearer.
The old man listened carefully this time, he turned around again, and a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, "brushing", as if the cold wind was blowing through his neck.
"It's not a ghost, it's a human," the old man reacted, and then he felt a chill, the cold became heavier and heavier, and finally he fell to the ground weakly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a pool of blood on the ground, and the blood seemed to be his own.
"How far is it?" A voice in the darkness asked.
"Come on, turn a corner, and walk more than ten feet, and you will be the Hongchen Inn," another person's voice sounded, and the man rubbed a bloody dagger.
"Okay, let's get better, everyone."
"Wow"
The footsteps were slight, dense, and ran towards the mouth of another alley.
Soon, the footsteps stopped, and directly ahead, through the dark night, a plaque could be faintly seen, with the words Hongchen Inn written on it.
"It's here," a very strong man stopped, raised his face to look at the inn plaque, and sighed, "It's a pity, I've also heard of the fame of this Hongchen inn, but it's going to fall into this step, flying monkey, have you heard clearly, then Song Kaike lives here?" ”
"If you go back to the boss, you do live here, and there is a woman who lives in the backyard, and there is a small gate in the backyard," a thin young man replied cautiously with his hands arched, "I have been guarding near the inn every day for the past few days, and I will never be mistaken." ”
"Alright, let's get to work. The hands and feet are neat, after all, it is in the city, and what clues are left behind also make the owner embarrassed. The strong man at the head waved his hand.
More than a dozen black-clothed men behind him answered in a low voice, and the two of them took out the bright red dye and splashed it towards the door of the Hongchen Inn, and soon the bright red dye formed several big characters, "If you don't pay off the debt, you will pay it with blood, - bloody hands." ”
Underneath a few large characters, there is also a large bloody handprint.
The strong man tilted his head, "You three guard the front door, you three guard the back door, and the others follow me in." ”
"Whoosh ......"
Everyone jumped up the wall, and then fell lightly, but no one noticed the black lines tied to the corners of the wall in the dark.
Recently, it is inconvenient to go online, so the update is not very punctual, I hope you will forgive me, I will go home tomorrow, and I can finally be free to surf the Internet.
