Chapter Forty-Nine: Yue Goes to the Inn
Although the mountain village is small, there is also a simple two-story inn. Dongfang Shiming followed Jia Qian to find this place, watched him walk in, and he also followed him to stay overnight.
Yue Go Inn...... Yes. Dongfang Shiming raised his eyes and looked at the door plaque when he entered, and almost laughed out loud.
However, what is unsatisfactory is that the outside of the inn is shabby, and the inside is even more cold. After entering, Dongfang Shiming found that the environment here was extremely poor, the facilities were dilapidated, and he could only barely spend the night.
After paying the fee, Dongfang Shiming followed upstairs, and some of the wooden stairs had broken in the middle, and they would be planted if they stepped on the air carelessly. Dongfang Shiming carefully held on to the wall, walking slowly to the top step by step, even then the narrow staircase made him feel dangerous.
After turning a corner, he was about to continue his steps upward, when suddenly a mass fell straight down in front of him, and he was caught off guard and rolled down the stairs.
Dongfang Shiming hurriedly dodged, and then heard a muffled sound, and the mass hit the wall at the bend of the staircase.
Dongfang Shiming leaned in to take a look, and as soon as he looked at it, he immediately recognized it in surprise that this was Jia Qian.
I saw that he seemed to have fallen a little blindfolded, got up from the ground with a disgraced face, and was stunned for a while before holding on to his head and being conscious.
"How...... What's going on......"
Jia Qian rubbed his bruised cheeks, looked at Dongfang Shiming in front of him in a little confusion, and asked stupidly, "How do I remember...... I've already left Jiangliang City?Brother Xian, what's the matter with you...... Here?"
Oriental poetry is a little ridiculous.
The two went to their respective rooms to tidy up, and then went downstairs to dinner together. The musty smell in the guest room was very strong, and the wall panels in the corners of the house still showed traces of moss and water seepage. Dongfang Shiming smiled bitterly, and seemed to understand a little bit of the reason why this inn is called "Yue Go Inn".
"Although there is that grass-colored blue feeling, I still feel very bad about this kind of consumer experience. ”
At the dining table, Jia Qian was holding chopsticks and talking while gobbling up.
"The ancients said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds. Brother Jia, this is actually God's test for you. Dongfang Shiming said to him half-jokingly.
Jia Qian was stunned for a moment, then wiped his mouth, and his eyes shone brightly: "You are worthy of being a virtuous brother, you can always say it." King Wen detained and acted in "Zhou Yi", and Zhong Ni'e wrote "Spring and Autumn", then my life is so difficult now, bad luck is at the head, and I flee every day, which means that I will fly Huang Tengda, comparable to the sages!"
Dongfang Shiming looked at him dancing happily, it was by no means a disguise, and it had nothing to do with the rumors of "eliminating evil scholars". But in this way, the reason for it is even more intriguing, and he must ask carefully.
"Alas, but Brother Jia, you are too ruthless, you didn't say goodbye early this morning, so you didn't have to chase all the way. Dongfang Shiming tried to say again, "But Brother Jia is really good at feet, and he can move forward with weight, especially so fast." ”
Jia Qian took a bite of food and chewed it a few times before frowning and sighing: "Brother Xian, this is not that I am ruthless, but a strategy to consider both worlds." ”
"I'm in danger, stay by your side, you may also be implicated. For you, handing over me as a brother is indeed a companion like a tiger. That's why I left secretly on the fourth watch, which will not only help me save my life, but also avoid the danger of my virtuous brother. Jia Qian explained to him in an authentic manner.
Seeing that Dongfang Shiming was still looking at himself unsatisfied, he continued to say with a bitter face: "I can't hide it, foolish brother, I ran until my leg was broken today, and I was so tired that the dog crawled. ”
He then bent down to take off his shoes, trying to prove it to Dongfang Shiming: "Brother Fool's feet are already swollen with blood blisters, but there is no other way. ”
Dongfang Shiming waved his hand again and again, so that he didn't have to show it.
Since Jia Qian said this, he also has some new ideas. He gradually had the outline of the answer to this matter.
After eating, Dongfang Shiming invited Jia Qian to go out for a walk. Jia Qian had nothing to do at night, and with the unbearable musty smell in the room, he gladly accepted Dongfang Shiming's invitation.
The two of them went out side by side, and walked into the wilderness on the outskirts of the mountain village.
The forest is sparse at night, and the moon is breezy. The barking of dogs and the chirping of birds in the distance are heard from time to time in the hearty night, which is different from the daytime with a special vitality and fun. The starry sky is full of stars, and the clear and deep night is like an endless dome, gently soothing the summer heat after a tiring day.
Dongfang Shiming kicked the stones, breathed in the fresh aroma of plants and trees at night, and walked with each other without saying a word.
Dongfang Shiming was only close to verifying, but he was still thinking about how to ask; Jia Qian was uncertain, and the confusion of the night was reflected in front of him.
After another walk, the farmhouses gradually became scarce. Without the light of the oil lamp shining through the window paper, the four fields were dark, only the moonlight above the head slowly sprinkled a layer of haze.
Jia Qian suddenly spoke:
"Brother Xian, you really shouldn't have come with me. ”
Dongfang Shiming heard him speak first, but he also solved a lot of trouble. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Jia is in trouble, and I also want to share my brother's worries." ”
The whispers of small insects came from among the grass, and they were all so, like the night wind blowing sand.
Jia Qian looked at Dongfang Shiming and said, "This ...... It's inseparable. Brother Xian, you are so smart, you should also know about me...... I'm having something wrong with me. ”
Dongfang Shiming heard him take the initiative to get to the point, and then echoed his guess:
"I think it's the rumor of the evil scholar. ”
"You are now both a scholar of evil and not a scholar of evil. But the breadth of public opinion makes your argument meaningless. You're just an ordinary scholar returning home, but there's a behind-the-scenes figure behind the scenes, using your identity to eradicate the Nine Shadows everywhere. ”
Dongfang Shiming narrated his speculation, "What special purpose does he have to use such a refreshing method, and after killing people in the middle of the night, he will be placed outside your residence for onlookers to watch, as if he deliberately led public opinion to create your role as a 'scholar of eliminating evil' with profound martial arts." ”
