254 Survive in Danger

Back in my dorm, I was still in shock.

It's so thrilling!

I still fry ghost meals for ghosts every day, and if it wasn't for the female city guard who appeared in time tonight, even myself might have become a fresh human flesh ghost meal this time!

Tian Laolu is old, and he usually goes to bed early and gets up early. And his ears are a little back, he has been in this Yin City for decades, as long as the house has not collapsed, no matter how noisy it is outside, he can snore until midnight. So when I came back, he didn't react at all.

I don't have the ability of Tian Laolu, I can't sleep at all when I lie in bed tossing and turning!

My mind is still playing the thrilling clips just now, flashing in front of my eyes one by one. But there was one detail that suddenly caught my attention.

When I left Uptown, I looked at the time on my watch, which should have been enough for me to return to the Longevity Hotel. The worst thing was that the thief stole the bag on Second Street, so I had to turn around and chase it, which caused a lot of delay.

On the second street is the food market, and I was robbed by a few ghosts when I went there with the shopkeeper Teng Shuli to buy goods, so it is not unusual to meet thieves there. But what is strange is that at that time, in addition to the bag on my body, there was also a money bag containing hundreds of Yin Yuan!

Today, because I was going to go shopping in the right market with Cao Zhe, I thought that I would always see something of interest to buy, so I took so many Yin Yuan out with me. If it is an ordinary thief, it is impossible not to dig out the bulging bag when you start, it is obviously a money bag containing Yin Yuan, but to dig out a flat bag!

Was it intentional?

But why?

I don't know that little ghost, let alone have a grudge. Even if it was an accomplice of the thieves who robbed me and Teng Shuli before, then stealing the Yin Yuan from me this time would be enough to relieve my anger. And, under the circumstances, if it was just stealing my purse, I would never have risked it to go back and catch it.

Also, the imp had lost the bag when he ran to the square, where two gangs of ghosts were gathering to fight. That bag was left in the middle of the two gangs, but luckily the two sides hadn't started fighting at the time, otherwise I might have been torn to shreds by them on the spot!

Could it really be that it is deliberately trying to frame me and kill me?

I couldn't figure it out, and my mind was getting more and more chaotic. I covered my head with the quilt and tried to force myself to fall asleep, but the more I did this, the more I couldn't sleep.

I simply walked out of the room and paced around the courtyard. The walls on all sides of the Longevity Hotel are built high and strong, and it should be very safe in it. And as I walked to the middle of the courtyard, my eyes suddenly fell on a vase in the corner.

By the way, there's also the ghost hiding at the entrance to the right city!

I just glanced at it from afar, thinking it was an accomplice to the thief. But now that I think about it a little more, the ghost's appearance is particularly strange and impressive. That's right, I've seen it in the right market before, and it's the "advertising ghost"!

At that time, I thought it was a little familiar when I first saw it, but I couldn't remember why it looked familiar. Now, the vase in front of me reminded me of it: I hadn't seen it before, but I had seen it elsewhere before!

On Xiao Jiuhe's used snuffbox!

On the jar he used to hold the ghost!

On the body of the Sun Eater!

Xiao Jiuhe and I can be said to be rivals. From Nanting County to the provincial capital, we have fought three times, and each time it was almost a life-and-death battle. Therefore, these patterns have left a deep impression on my mind!

Hehe, ghost refining shop, ghost refining shop!

Why didn't I think about this before? Xiao Jiuhe is a ghost raiser, refining ghosts is originally his old business, and it is not unusual for him to open a ghost refining shop!

And there is the most critical point: I have only been in Yin City for three months, and I have never made a feud with anyone, and here, my only enemy is him!

I patted myself on the head, a little annoyed. I can only blame myself for having a poor memory, and I have been in the Yin City for so long, and I have forgotten such a dangerous person! Xiao Jiuhe was injured again by me and the mustache and hid in the Yin City. Judging from the current speculation, it is likely that he is hiding in that ghost refining shop now!

Hehe, it's really not that the enemies don't get together, just go out and go to the door of his store!

Xiao Jiuhe is a very cautious person, and he has many enemies, perhaps he used a secret technique on that advertising ghost to observe the situation in front of the ghost refining shop. No wonder the ghost was staring at me at that time, and he must have discovered it, so he followed me later, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate!

What to do?

I've been found by him. Even, it is possible that he already knows that I am working in the Longevity Hotel now, and he can come to the door at any time to take revenge again. Master Zhou was killed before, just because he caught a wasted ghost of Xiao Jiuhe, this guy is a sinister guy who will be revenged!

What's more, I've already offended him three times!

A series of exclamation points burst through my head, causing my breathing to become rapid and my heart to start beating faster. I am absolutely reluctant to live with this feeling of fear all the time, I have to find a way to solve this ** annoyance, otherwise sooner or later he will still be plotted!

"Humph!"

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists, my heart filled with rage. As the saying goes: anger starts from the heart, and evil grows to the guts!

Cao Zhe is right!

The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle!

Now even if I don't offend anyone, people will offend me!

Now that you have entered this underworld, you cannot continue to be weak!

I've got to take the initiative and wipe this hateful creature out of the world once and for all!

After thinking through the whole thing and making this important decision, I suddenly felt calm. I went back to my room, collapsed on the bed and covered my head.

For the next few days, I avoided going out as much as possible and stayed at the Changshou Hotel to work. Even Cao Zhe came to me to hang out, but I politely refused.

However, this temporary hibernation is only for someone to see. Moreover, the necessary preparations must be made in advance. This time, I am in the bright place, and Xiao Jiuhe is also in the bright place, and the competition is who will seize the opportunity to shoot first!

First of all, when Cao Zhe came to me, I grabbed him with ulterior motives and asked him to draw me a simple map of the left and right cities in the dormitory.

Cao Zhe asked me what I wanted to do with this map?

I told him that after drinking with him last time, I got lost on the way back and was almost eaten by a ghost, so I had to familiarize myself with the road in the city first so that I wouldn't have another accident next time. When Cao Zhe heard this, he immediately expressed his guilt and quickly painted it for me.

A few days later, under the pretext that I wanted to practice sword and shield skills and self-defense, I asked Wei Dahu to help me buy a short knife from various famous weapon shops in the city, as well as a round shield and a complete set of light leather armor that could cover my whole body. I spent two full months of my salary to get this outfit.

Wei Dahu was surprised that I was so willing to spend money on this equipment, because it really didn't look like something that a chef should collect. However, Teng Shuli praised my approach and urged Wei Dahu to continue teaching me martial arts.

I have learned the long and short stick technique of Ruyi chopsticks and the attack and defense technique of sword and shield very proficiently. Although I still couldn't beat Wei Dahu when I competed with him, I was able to not fall behind against several other nursing homes.

One night half a month later, I finally decided to act!

There is a curfew, but longevity hotels generally close early when they are ugly. I finished cleaning up the kitchen, dried my hands, and walked into the lobby. Granny Jean was also tidying up her lute, loosening the strings, and getting ready to go back to her jar to rest.

I smiled and said to her, "Granny Qin, don't be in a hurry to put away the piano first, how about playing a song for me?" ”

Granny Qin also smiled: "You are so Yaxing tonight?" Haven't you heard enough during the day? ”

"I work in the kitchen during the day, where do I have time to run out and listen to you play the lute?" I begged again, "Just play a song for me!" ”

"Okay!"

Granny Jean tightened the loose strings again, tried the tone again, and then began to play the lute. When she plays the lute, she is generally used to closing her eyes, so that she can sense some strong premonitions from time to time, which is her special ability.

"Dangchang!"

Before the song ended, Granny Qin's pipa sound suddenly stopped. The last note was cut off very suddenly, obviously out of tune, which made people feel very harsh to listen to.

"Granny Qin, if you're tired, don't play!" Uncle Teng behind the counter frowned and said, "That one just now was weird and ugly!" ”

Granny Jean didn't explain, but looked at me with a look of surprise. I'm looking at her too, but with a smile on my face.

"You ......" Granny Qin's voice was trembling, and her body was trembling, "The murderous aura on your body is very heavy!" ”

"Hmm!" I smiled, noncommittal, and then asked, "Tell me first, is the premonition you just got in the sound of the piano fierce or auspicious?" ”

Granny Jean still looked at me in astonishment, speechless for a long time. My expression was indifferent, still patiently waiting for her answer.

"Dangerous ......" Granny Qin's mouth finally spit out a word, and then hesitantly added: "Survive!" ”

"Surviving in danger?" I nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's exactly what I want!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Granny Qin hurriedly asked me again.

"Shh

I secretly raised a finger at her and pressed it to my mouth, and whispered, "You don't have to ask, but remember to help me keep it a secret!" ”
