Chapter 179: Midnight Ghost City
"Guest officer, please! This looks like an outsider, right? We have little food and water in the desert, and you have to bear more. There are few fruits and vegetables, but there are enough meat tubes. Do you want to try the signature dishes in our store, which are all naturally dried beef, which tastes delicious! I also slaughtered a sheep today, and the back kitchen is still stewing sheep soup, and the simmer has been hanging for several hours, do you want to have a copy too? ”
The proprietress worked very hard to sell her things, but Su Yunran felt more and more that this was really like an inn.
Liang Hezhen was also cautious and asked for three rooms, and Lanxi and Lanshan took turns to be on duty.
Because he was worried that it was a black shop, Su Yunran took Liang Hezhen to walk around the inn before it was completely dark.
"This kind of unique inn in the desert is not uncommon, and the lady doesn't have to be so nervous." Liang Hezhen couldn't help but smile, looking at Su Yunran's vigilant look, he just thought it was funny and cute.
"Xianggong, are you making fun of me in your heart?" Su Yunran glared at Liang Hezhen angrily.
Liang Hezhen immediately shook his head: "No, I was making fun of me." ”
Su Yunran was amused, but he couldn't help but grab a handful of yellow sand and throw it at Liang Hezhen: "You actually made fun of me!" Let you make fun of me! ”
It was dark before the two of them returned to the inn, and at this time there were already a lot of people gathered downstairs.
Su Yunran's nerves, which had only relaxed, became alert again: "Xianggong, does this inn have so many rooms?" ”
Isn't there a bit too many people eating in this lobby?
"The guest officer is too worried, we still have two large shops on the first floor, and you naturally don't know if you live in a single room on the second floor." Xiao Er suddenly appeared behind her like a ghost, startling her.
Su Yunran cleared his throat to hide his panic: "Let's help us bring our meals upstairs!" ”
As soon as he returned upstairs, Su Yunran immediately pulled Liang Hezhen and said, "Xianggong, is the inn in this desert so weird?" Xiao Er is gloomy, why do I feel that this place is very abnormal? Also, why did he suddenly appear behind us just now? There is no sound at all, it can't be a martial arts master, right? ”
Liang Hezhen rubbed her head a little helplessly: "Don't think too much, that Xiao Er does have some fist and foot skills, but he is not a master." can be an exclusive family in this desert, and they would have been looted long ago if they didn't have any effort. ”
Su Yunran nodded, it made sense.
Xiao Er brought the food, and Su Yunran confirmed that there was no problem, so he let the chopsticks move.
Xu Limo knew that she had been nervous since she entered this Huangsha Inn, and couldn't help but tease her a few words. Su Yunran was not convinced, so he told him about the desert inn in martial arts.
Xu Limo: The bun in your hand...... Suddenly it doesn't smell good.
Liang Hezhen and Lanshan brothers and sisters are as stable as Mount Tai, and after listening to what she said, they continued to eat the human meat buns without changing their faces.
"Come and eat more, this beef is really delicious! Judging by the texture and smell, this is indeed no problem with beef. And this bun is beef filling, and you can smell it, and human flesh can't be pretended! ”
Su Yunran desperately gave Xu Limo vegetables, but this meal was destined to be unfragrant in Xu Limo's mouth.
After eating, Xiao Er brought a pot of hot water up. Although there is a well in this inn, the water is used quickly and slowly, so the inn does not provide bathing water.
The conditions are so simple, it is good to be able to wash your face and feet.
"Be vigilant tonight." Liang Hezhen explained to the Lanshan brothers and sisters. Although he laughed at Su Yunran's suspiciousness, this kind of inn was generally not clean.
Su Yunran and Liang Hezhen went to bed early, and they slept well in the first half of the night. Although the wind in the desert was howling, the sound was like a cry, but it did not affect Su Yunran sleeping soundly in Liang Hezhen's arms.
But in the second half of the night, Su Yunran was awakened.
"Woken up?" Liang Hezhen woke up earlier than her, and even tried to cover her ears for fear that she would be woken up.
Su Yunran paused carefully, and the voice came from the lobby downstairs: "It's the middle of the night, why is it so noisy downstairs?" ”
Liang Hezhen said: "People walking in this desert come and go, and it is normal for some people to arrive at the inn at this time. Have you ever heard of a ghost market? ”
Su Yunran became interested: "Ghost market? I know! It is often mentioned in tomb robbery and criminal investigation film and television dramas! In a broad sense, this ghost market refers to the trading of some shady things in the market in a fixed place, and the people who trade in the ghost market do not ask about the source of the goods or the identity of the buyer. ”
Liang Hezhen's face was complicated, and he hesitated: "I know about tomb robbery, criminal investigation ...... What is a film and television drama? ”
Su Yunran scratched his head: "Uh...... It is...... It's just some words! Criminal investigation is a book for detectives, and film and television dramas are very long books. ”
Liang Hezhen nodded clearly: "I see, I haven't heard of these words, the lady is really knowledgeable." ”
In the dark, Su Yunran's old face turned red, and he cleared his throat and quickly bypassed the topic: "Xianggong, what do you mean...... This inn has become a ghost market at this point? ”
Yes, the owners who can open inns in the desert have some status. Of course, this identity has been on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and there is a well-known identity standing, and no one dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head.
And this inn in the desert is remote, and it is only fitting to trade some shady things here.
Many of the things traded here are stolen goods, and a walk around the yellow sand is equivalent to whitewashing. Because no one can trace what goes out here back to its origin.
Moreover, the people who come here to trade come from all over the world, regardless of the country, and there are stolen goods from all countries, so you can see the light of day in such a circle.
Su Yunran suddenly sat up, and suddenly realized: "I understand!" Sad, I felt weird as soon as I came today. There are two masks in each room of this inn, and the corridors and halls are also full of masks, which were originally prepared for the ghost market, and we have to wear masks as soon as we go downstairs, right? ”
Liang Hezhen nodded: "Not bad." ”
Su Yunran frowned again, but the shopkeeper and Xiao Er here had seen them. Even if you wear a mask, you can recognize it, right?
"You can rest assured that they can do the ghost market, and naturally they have their own rules. They won't easily reveal the information of the guests, otherwise the sign would have been smashed I don't know how many times. ”
Su Yunran became interested: "Xianggong, why don't you ...... Let's go down and have a look? ”
Liang Hezhen shook his head: "Although the ghost market has the rules of the ghost market, more things are better than less." ”
Well, Su Yunran dispelled this thought. After all, the person being hunted down now is not only Xu Limo, but also herself.
As soon as he lay down, he heard a roar: "Doctor! There is no doctor! Save my third brother, I will definitely repay this kindness! ”
When the sound fell, I heard the sound of fighting, it seemed that the fight was quite fierce, and there was the sound of the wine jug being smashed.
Liang Hezhen had already gotten up: "I'll take a look." ”
There was another smashing sound, and a heavy footstep knocked upstairs: "Upstairs, is there a doctor!" Come out and save my brother! ”
A thin but extremely skilled man fought with Lan Shan, shouting as he fought.
Su Yunran heard his words and hurriedly got up and got dressed: "Xianggong! ”
Leaving Lanshan behind, Liang Hezhen was about to make a move but was stopped by Su Yunran: "Xianggong, he just wants the doctor to save people, we don't need to make a move to expose our strength." ”
Liang Hezhen thought about it for a moment or two, nodded, took the mask and put it on.
There are no other guests on the second floor except them, and it seems that the other guests on the second floor are also coming for the ghost market.
The group was forcibly screamed, put on masks, and went downstairs together.
Wang Xi looked at Su Yunran, to be honest, he didn't believe the female doctor: "You...... Can it really cure my third brother? I, Wang Xi, will leave my words here today, if you can't cure my third brother, I will want you to be buried with you! ”
Although Su Yunran was wearing a mask, he rolled his eyes when he showed a pair of smart eyes: "You are really unreasonable, and the doctor is just an ordinary person, not a god, how can you guarantee that you can save everyone?" If you say so, then I will die, both horizontally and vertically. ”
Su Yunran went to the bench and leisurely poured himself a glass of water.
Looking around, the atmosphere is really a bit of a ghost city. The red lantern has an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
After looking at it like this, only this person named Wang Xi and his third brother did not wear masks, so they may not have come to the ghost market.
Wang Xi took out his knife and pointed at Su Yunran: "Hurry up and save me!" ”
Liang Hezhen was about to make a move subconsciously, but Su Yunran grabbed his arm and shook his head.
Su Yunran pursed her lips and looked at Wang Xi again: "Hey, didn't your mother teach you to have an attitude of begging people to do things?" I can save your third brother, but this is out of my benevolence as a healer, and whether or not you can save your third brother depends on the will of God. As a healer, I should do my best. Of course, if you don't believe in my medical skills, you can also ask other doctors for treatment. ”
Wang Xi was angry and anxious, and no one else dared to admit that he was a doctor except her. Of course, there is really no one else here except her and Xu Limo.
The atmosphere was deadlocked, and Kan Qi, who was lying on the ground, was still bleeding.
At this moment, a silver hairpin flew and hit Wang Xi's wrist, and the knife in his hand fell on the table.
"Wang Xi, don't say that the old lady doesn't save face for you, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, if you make a big fuss about the old lady's inn tonight. For the sake of your third brother's serious injury, the old lady doesn't care about you now, and now if there is a doctor, she will quickly ask someone to help treat it. Don't die in the old lady's inn, bad luck! ”
Su Yunran smacked his tongue secretly, what Xiang Gong got is right, how can he open an inn in the desert without two brushes! This proprietress is really hidden, I haven't seen her just now.
Wang Xi looked at the proprietress and then at Su Yunran, gritted her teeth, and then said to Su Yunran: "Please ask the doctor to do his best to heal my third brother, as long as the doctor can cure my third brother, I, Wang Xi, am willing to be a cow and a horse for you!" ”
