Chapter 56: The Abacus of the Shopkeeper Zhou

With the sound of a phoenix, a strong wind rose on the flat ground. The drizzle turned into smoke, and with the smoke, a huge bird flew out of nowhere.

It was the middle of the night, and few people had seen this miraculous sight. But if you look closely, on the back of the huge Xuanniao, you can also see a woman in green clothes and a little girl in pink.

Princess Zhuang Xuan was dressed in red at this time, and her eyes were dull. She stood in front of the window in a daze, looking at the Xuanniao flying away, and her face gradually turned pale.

Not even the Yu Shan Qi Soul Curse could trap them? Who were these three people? Could it be that they were not human beings, as they said?

What went wrong, she must ask Baizhu tomorrow.

He said he wouldn't stop her. In this world, no one can stop her wish.

She sneered in her heart, as a princess, she can grow from a young age, and there is only one wish that truly belongs to her.

No one, human or non-human, could stop her.

The night was as indifferent as water, and a palace maid in gorgeous clothes stepped forward, put on a thin cloak for Princess Zhuang Xuan, and said softly: "Emperor Ji, it's time to rest." You've been standing in front of this window for a long time, and no matter who those people are, this matter is already in the boat, and no one can stop it. ”

Zhuang Xuan sighed, her beautiful face showing uneasiness and anxiety, "I've been waiting for three years, and according to the ancient books, we are almost successful." But the more I got to this point, the more scared I became. The fact that those few people can get out of the secret room shows that they are not idle people, and if I fall short, won't I also harm you. ”

"Don't say these ominous words, we will definitely succeed. We finally found the coffin of the corpse, and finally raised so many unjust souls. This corpse coffin is not an ordinary thing, so many little ghosts will definitely succeed in reviving the life of the horse. The palace maid in Huayi comforted.

Princess Zhuang Xuan seemed to feel a lot more at ease, but after all, she couldn't sleep all night. She sat in front of the window all night, and the palace maid in Huayi was always with her.

And there has been a continuous drizzle outside the window, and the sound of rain drops under the eaves of the palace has been dripping until dawn.

In Bianjing, a store called Yuelai Inn, in a room at the end of the third floor, a person, a bird, and a duckweed slept just right at this time.

Although it was already noon, it was raining lightly outside the window. The autumnal equinox is approaching, and the weather is getting cooler, which is really suitable for sleeping.

Knock knock, knock knock.

There was a knock on the door outside the room, and after the little baby was woken up first, she rubbed her head and asked lazily, "Who?"

"Ah, it's me. I'm the shopkeeper of Zhou. The voice of the shopkeeper Zhou came from outside the room, and the duckweed and the Xuanniao also woke up, and the Xuanniao quickly changed from a lantern to a spirit magpie and continued to sleep.

The duckweed fingers moved, but in a blink of an eye, she and the baby were put on new clothes. She rubbed her eyes and got out of bed to open the door, saw the smiling shopkeeper Zhou, and asked, "Shopkeeper Zhou, is there anything wrong?"

"It's almost noon, and I think it's time for the lady to eat. Even if the lady is a cultivator, she doesn't need to eat those grains to satisfy her hunger. But there is a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl next to her, and it is the time to grow her body, so she can't eat it. Shopkeeper Zhou looked enthusiastic, but he could still see the shrewdness in his eyes.

Of course, duckweed knows the abacus in this guy's heart, but after all, it is a shop that does not charge money and eats and drinks for nothing.

When I came back late yesterday, I forgot my old job.

She smiled and said to Shopkeeper Zhou: "Shopkeeper Zhou is polite." Yesterday the baby was not feeling well, and I have been taking care of her in the room this morning. Hey, I don't have the heart to tell fortunes for others. ”

"Is that little girl better now?do you need me to help you get a doctor?" asked the shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly and enthusiastically.

Duckweed postponed: "No need, I took care of her all morning, but it rained yesterday, and she was cold and feverish, and she was almost fine." It's just that I have to bother Shopkeeper Zhou to bring the food to the room. Today, when I have dinner with the little baby, I will count the life of the guest for an hour, what do you think?"

Shopkeeper Zhou said happily: "Of course you can." I will tell the servants to bring food to the lady. ”

Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but be overjoyed, someone came to the door early this morning to ask this aunt if she could tell fortunes today, and he accepted it all. If this God of Wealth doesn't give it today, won't it cost him his life?

Fortunately, he was so happy that he hummed a little song and went down the stairs to settle the score. I don't know who threw a piece of melon skin on the ground, and the shopkeeper Zhou stepped on it and fell to the ground.

He fell so hard that he screamed on the ground.

"Wang Wu Li Er, how did you sweep the floor? Ouch, you fell to my death. Little Wang Ba Lambs, if you don't work hard like this, I will deduct your wages this month. Shopkeeper Zhou rubbed his buttocks and scolded, "Which little rabbit cub with no eyes threw melon skin, but it killed me." Ouch, it hurts me. ”

The guests in the inn who saw this scene all laughed.

Duckweed shook his head and said to the spirit magpie at the head of the bed: "Xuanniao, you are too much, anyway, the shopkeeper Zhou also let us eat and live for nothing, how can you do this?"

Xuanniao combed his feathers at the head of the bed, and his tone was still as gentle as usual: "The master was very tired last night, and today he will be picked up by this week and disturb the master's good sleep, I am holding grievances for the master." ”

Duckweed covered her mouth and smiled: "Well, it's really not pleasant to be disturbed by your good sleep." But I'm also a little hungry, so it's better to get up now. ”

"Sister, what is it in Princess Zhuang Xuan's secret room yesterday ......" Before the little baby finished speaking, she heard the little girl outside knocking on the door and delivering food.

I don't know if I'm afraid that duckweed is unwilling to tell fortunes to guests, the meals sent by Shopkeeper Zhou are extremely rich, and there are six or seven kinds of meat dishes alone.

Xiaowa closed the door and continued to ask: "Sister, you don't need to tell me about the secret room, and Princess Zhuang Xuan, what is going on?"

Duckweed took a piece of vegetables, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and then said with a smile: "This story is too long, little baby, let's eat first." ”

The curiosity in Xiaowa's heart has been aroused yesterday, and now she doesn't know the truth, how to eat, she said coquettishly: "Sister, sister, you can tell me." Let's talk about it briefly. ”

Duckweed knew that if she didn't talk about it, Xiaowa would definitely not give up, so she put down her chopsticks after stuffing a few pieces of vegetables, and said to the spirit magpie at the head of the bed: "Xuanniao, make a soundproof enchantment." ”

Xuanniao nodded, turned into a human form, and did not know what spell was drawn in his hand.

After a while, Xuanniao also sat at the table, picked up Xiaowa's chopsticks and said, "Since Xiaowa wants to listen to the story, let me eat first." ”
