Hearing Xiao Er say this, Jin Yu had no choice but to give up, anyway, asking for a room was just for a nap, and he could have settled on the chair.
Xiao Er walked in front and opened a room in the corridor, the room was dim, Xiao Er hurriedly lit the candle, the elegant yellow candlelight suddenly illuminated the scene in the room, it was a simple room in and out, not complicated but not simple.
Xiao Er, who lit the candle, turned around and said, "These two days happen to be the day when the fish fry are scattered, and there are a lot of businessmen from other places, and now there is only this room left, although it looks simpler, but it is the quietest room in our store, and no matter how noisy it is at night, you can't come from the guest officer." β
Ruoli didn't say anything about his words, this was the innermost room in the corridor, but the sound downstairs was not heard at all at the moment, it was indeed quiet.
Jin Yu sat on the round stool at the table, Ruoli put his bags on the table and sat down, and Xiao Er hurriedly made tea for the two.
Ruoli looked around at the furnishings in the room and asked casually, "Little second brother, is it true that I heard that the town has not been peaceful these days?"
Xiao Er's hand that poured water shook, and the tea spilled on the table, he quickly tore off the towel on his shoulder to wipe the water stains dry, and Ai Ai said, "Childe... Where is this nonsense? We, our Luoshui Town, are the most within a radius of 100 miles... The most peaceful town, how, how can it not be peaceful?"
Ruoli raised his eyebrows, "Oh, it's just dusk and you guys close, why?"
"I, our shopkeeper said that today is early, and there is no special reason for closing early. β
Ruoli sighed, "But how did I hear that Luoshui Town has been haunted these days?"
"Ahh β
"Is that true?"
Xiao Er put the towel back on his shoulder, leaned over and said, "Childe, don't ask, how many people in the town dare to talk about this matter now? Everyone is far away, where do you dare to say it here?"
Ruoli raised the corners of his mouth, "Don't be afraid, we're here to catch ghosts, but it's okay for you to say it." β
Xiao Er looked at Ruoli's pink carved jade face, how could he not associate ghost hunting with it, but when he saw the sword in Jin Yu's hand, and then looked up and saw the calmness under Jin Yujun's cold eyebrows, he also believed Ruoli's words a little.
He asked, "Are the two sons really here to hunt ghosts?"
"Can this still be fake?", Ruoli said, but he didn't tell them that they were disciples of the South Wind Sect, and he always had to have reservations when he went out, not because he was afraid that the enemy would come to the door, but that more was better than less.
"There are a lot of Taoist priests in the town, but they are either crazy or unconscious, and no one has been able to solve that until now. Xiao Er said truthfully.
Obviously, what he was talking about was the trouble they were going to solve on this trip.
"Tell me the ins and outs of the matter, and whether we can clean it up or not is our business. Ruoli took a sip of tea and put the sword in his hand on the table.
"Click" clasped on the table, startling Xiao Er, and the frightened face turned a little paler.
This little boy is not very old, but he is quite scary.
Ruoli saw that he had been committed to him, and she looked uncomfortable, tilted her chin and said "um", motioning for him to sit aside.
Xiao Er was indeed frightened, and the two tremors sat down without much shirk at the moment, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "If you want to talk about this matter, you have to start from ten years ago." β
Ten years ago?
"At that time, the two major families in Luoshui Town, the Wang family and the Su family were well-known families, and the two families were world friends, and the Su family added a new lady when the son of the Wang family was five years old. Wang Gongzi is also very fond of Miss Su, and married her in the year of Miss Su and Lu, but one year Wang Lao died, and Wang Gongzi, who was not under the control of Wang Lao, exposed his true nature, often lingered in the flowers, and stayed in the Qinglou. β
Xiao Er inadvertently poured himself a glass of water as he spoke, and the corners of Ruoli's mouth twitched imperceptibly before asking, "What about Miss Su?"
Xiao Er took a sip of tea and then said, "Then Miss Su is as beautiful as a flower, and she was already famous when she was in the boudoir, but due to the marriage between the Wang family and the Su family, many sons and brothers gave up their thoughts, and I heard that Miss Su has a private connection with his own teacher, but we outsiders don't know about this matter." β
Wang Gongzi fell in love with the young lady of the Li family after lingering in the flowers, Master Li tried his best to send his daughter into the Wang family in order to climb the Wang family, but he never passed Miss Su's pass, Wang Gongzi teamed up with Master Li to frame Miss Su and his teaching Mr. had an affair, beat Mr. Teaching to death, and soaked Miss Su in the pig cage on the charge of stealing people, and the seriously ill Su Master also died soon after, and the Su family declined repeatedlyγ β
Speaking of this, Xiao Er couldn't help but shake his head with embarrassment, "The Su family, which was prominent back then, has declined like this, and there is not even a descendant left, and this prince is really ruthless." β
Ruoli looked at the sword on the table silently, this prince is really unforgivable, he actually did such a heart-wrenching thing! She pondered for a moment and asked, "So it's the Wang family and the Li family who haven't been peaceful these days, right?"
Xiao Er nodded and said, "Miss Su passed away less than three days after Miss Li married into the Wang family, Xu is a sinful, Miss Li has not added a son and a half daughter to the Wang family in the past ten years, but suddenly became pregnant ten months ago, the Wang family was very happy, until the day of delivery, the baby just came out of the womb and spoke." Retribution of injustice, the time has come', and then turned into a pool of blood, Miss Li went crazy at that time, the Li family and the Wang family have been in a panic since then, Wang Gongzi invited a lot of Taoist priests to the house to no avail, and the strange things that followed one after another also made the people of the town panic. β
However, these two days coincided with the day when the fish fry were scattered, and there were still many brave businessmen who came here.
Speaking of which, the matter was probably clear, Xiao Er got up and retreated.
Ruoli looked at Jin Yu, who had not said a word from beginning to end, with a solemn expression, but he didn't say much on weekdays, she asked, "Senior brother, if Miss Su really turned into a powerful ghost, why is it ten years later?"
Since Miss Su has turned into a ghost, the best time is when she is at the peak of her grievances, not ten years later, what is still the secret in this?
Jin Yu and her eyes met in mid-air, and deep starry eyes looked at her, "That little er's words can't be fully believed. β
Fang Ruo didn't see it, but he clearly saw the flickering in Xiao Er's eyes, presumably there must be some important information that he had hidden.
As soon as Xiao Er walked out of the room, his face was instantly pale as wax and bloodless, he grabbed the placket on his chest tightly, and let out a long and cautious sigh of relief.
When the shopkeeper saw him coming down, he hurriedly pulled him over and asked in a low voice, "Why have you been gone for so long, and those two guest officers haven't embarrassed you, right?"
The person who went out with a sword was either a chivalrous man or a bandit, and the little boy with thin white and tender flesh didn't look like a bad guy, but the cold appearance of the man in the dark suit was intimidating, although the face was rare and handsome, but the momentum on his body was really terrifying.
Xiao Er shook his head and said in a suppressed voice, "But they asked about that incident ten years ago. β
The shopkeeper's face sank, and he grabbed Xiao Er's hand and tightened it again, "Who are they, why do you want to ask about what happened ten years ago?"
"They said they were here to catch ghosts, shopkeeper, do you think they can really catch that female ghost?
"This is not good, after all, their age seems to be too young, what real skills can they have? But there is no shortage of disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, if it is really a disciple of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, it is not impossible to catch that female ghost. ", the shopkeeper bowed his head in thought.
Xiao Er interrupted his thoughts and said, "Shopkeeper, many people were present at the incident ten years ago, not only the Li family and the Wang family were killed, but even strange things happened to other families present back then, do you think it will be our turn one day?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the closed door of the inn, turned his head and scolded, "Don't scare yourself, you were just a child back then, and I was just passing by, and you and I would only offend the Wang family when you said that battle, and offending the Wang family was a dead end.
In fact, not only Xiao Er thinks so, but he also thinks so, these days I don't think about eating, I don't want to worry, and one day the female ghost will come to the door, but it will really be over.
"Shopkeeper, but I still feel uneasy......", Xiao Er's face was much better than that, but his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
"Don't think about it, let's get to work!", the shopkeeper waved his hand.
In the room, Jin Yu was still sitting on the chair, he glanced at the tired Ruoli, thinking that she was also tired after a day's walk, he said, "If you are tired, lie down for a while, if there are really ghosts, it will be too early." β
Ruoli, who was holding his head with his hands, glanced at the only bed, then looked at Jin Yu and said, "Senior brother, go and rest, I'm not tired, I'll just sit here for a while." β
Jin Yu frowned, got up and walked to Ruoli, picked her up without saying a word, and walked to the bed.
