It was a whole day to bask in the sun outside this inn, and now we can relax and say goodbye to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng also returned to his home, and we walked forward with Uncle Xu, and we said goodbye.

Now there are a few of us left, Uncle Xu patted his head: "It's hard to move an inch without money, we don't even have a copper on us right now, as the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire, and it's okay for us to burn those gold, I'd better go back to Yuelai Inn first, maybe I can find some." ”

Uncle Xu said this, I feel a little sorry, I brought out a carriage of gold from the inn before, but after the carriage was parked on the side of the road, when I came back to look for it, the carriage was gone, I don't know which bad mind or the horse himself was hungry to find food, in short, we have nothing.

Hearing that Uncle Xu was going back to find gold, my sister and I were naturally happy, so we waited in this inn first.

Uncle Xu drove the clouds, and it was only a moment and a half of time to go back and forth, but when he came back, he brought us bad news, and the carriages and gold in the inn were gone.

Although there is a trick to obstruct the eyes, but after so many days, it has long since changed back to the original state, and it seems that there is no return.

I speculate that the biggest possibility is that day's beard, after they burned down the inn, they could see the chests of gold, but they didn't know who the owner of the gold was, so they took it away.

That beard looks honest, if the gold on the carriage is handed over to the imperial court, we really can't come back, even if we can get it back with mana, this back and forth plus the investigation work, it will take several days, we have been here for three or four days, if we delay any longer, I don't know how many days we will be able to get out of the capital.

Although it is a pity, Uncle Xu is open-minded: "It doesn't matter if there is this silver, it will be good to earn it when the time comes, if there are no people, there will be nothing!" ”

Uncle Xu looked at me when he said this, and it seemed that he was still worried that my man had come over.

Fortunately, the beard paid us an extra few days for the room and food, so we asked the young man at the Wulipo Inn to fold the silver in two, and gave us one or two silver, and we didn't ask for the trivial copper, so he brought us a dozen dry food to eat on the road.

As the saying goes, the blessings and blessings of the old generation are still useful, we have no gold, and we have saved a lot of troublesome things, flying in the sky, and the road is much faster.

Soaring through the clouds and fog, we can fly thousands of miles in one day, which is only half a day's work, we took a fancy to a place, found a place where no one stopped.

This small city is beautiful by the mountains and rivers, but after entering this city, I found that this small city is really too small, after entering the city gate, I only saw a few people sporadically, walking on the road in a hurry.

There were a lot of shops on both sides that had already closed, and I looked up to see that it had just been darkened, so why was I in such a hurry......

Fortunately, there is some silver around me, and if I have silver, I don't have to worry about nowhere to go, so I feel more at ease.

I saw a closed inn in front of me, and knocked on the door, but there was no response, and we had no choice but to walk forward for a mile or two, and finally came across another inn, which also had closed doors and windows.

"What's going on with these inns? Could it be that you don't want to make money? As she spoke, my sister stepped forward and knocked on the door with a "bang" sound, shouting as she knocked, "Hurry up and open the door of the shopkeeper, we are here to stay in the hotel, if you don't open the door again, I can smash your door!" ”

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a young man peeked out of it, he looked around, and hurriedly pulled us in, and when he saw that we were all in, he hurriedly closed the door tightly, and kept arching his hand at us: "A few small voices, I was just about to be scared to death by you." ”

My sister couldn't help but be proud when she heard this, and patted the young man on the shoulder, and his body immediately lowered and smiled at his sister.

"You're small enough to be afraid to speak loudly here?"

The sister who spoke also deliberately raised her voice, and the young man was even more panicked.

A man dressed in fine clothes came out of the inn and frowned at the young man, who was busy and whispered, "It's none of my business to be the shopkeeper, it's their ......."

"You're the shopkeeper here!" My sister strode over.

The shopkeeper arched his hand to his sister and squinted and smiled: "A few people have something to say, this weather is also cold, don't freeze anymore." ”

"You can talk!"

My sister walked in first, and when she came to the inn, she found that there was no one at all.

"You guys are so deserted here, and you still have a closed door, and those who don't know think that this inn is already overcrowded." Sister said.

The shopkeeper looked sad when he heard this: "Where is the reason why there is no business to do, since we are opening an inn, it is to earn silver, and now we are not opening the door because something big happened here." ”

His words drew our attention, so it's no wonder we didn't see a few people along the way.

"Forget it, you still don't inquire about this matter, a few guest officers will rest here for a few days, and then leave the city quickly."

"The shopkeeper's baggage has been packed, when will we leave?"

Just now the young man came running.

Seeing them like this, it seems that they want to leave this place.

"Where are you going?"

The shopkeeper looked at me and shook his head: "I don't know, it's better to go anywhere than to stay here, are a few guest officials here to visit relatives, or do they have something to pass by here?" ”

"It looks like a nice place, and we want to settle here." I said.

"Settle from here? Don't you make fun of me? You see that nine of the ten families here have left, and the rest are just some old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't walk, or those of us who haven't had time to leave, why do you still want to stay here......" said the shopkeeper with a straight face.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to say the following words to us, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, and the shopkeeper and the young man hurriedly closed the door tightly, and the voice was much softer.

"I'll take you upstairs to the guest room first."

"There's a knock on the door outside, maybe it's a guest, why don't you open the door?" Seeing that there are not many people in your store, is it difficult not to do business? ”

I asked casually, but the shopkeeper listened, but he was busy lowering his voice: "Auntie, you are quiet, let's go into the guest room first, wait for the door to be farther away, and I will tell you the rest slowly." ”

The shopkeeper took me into the inn, and after going up to the second floor, he took us into the guest room, but unexpectedly moved the vase next to it, and then a dark room appeared in the room.

So mysterious, I looked at him, and the shopkeeper motioned to me to let us hurry inside.

Seeing him behaving so strangely, it seemed that something was going on, but I got used to it, and since I entered this small city, everything I encountered was strange.

Besides, we have mana, even if this is a black shop, they can't help us.

After entering this secret room, the shopkeeper and the young man also followed, pressed a button from this wall, and the secret room closed automatically.

Unexpectedly, there is a hole in this dark room.

As soon as I entered here, the lights were bright in front of me, and when I glanced forward, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the middle in front of me, all of whom looked sad.

As soon as we came in, they stared at us intently.

The shopkeeper behind him said: "These people are here to stay in the hotel, don't worry." ”

The men nodded, their eyes away from us.

While those people were looking at us, I was also looking at those people, who looked skinny, yellow-skinned, and I don't know how many days they had been here.

"What's going on? Can you tell us now? My sister asked.

The shopkeeper sighed: "I don't know what bad luck has happened to our town, and I met a monster ......."

"So we're just hiding here." The young man said cautiously.

"That being the case, the person who just knocked on the door outside was locked out by you, what if he was eaten by a monster?"

I was also a little anxious when I said this, and I turned around and was about to walk towards the secret door.

Suddenly, several people from behind me rushed towards me and pushed me to the ground.

A hand suddenly covered my mouth, preventing me from speaking.

At that time, my heart sank, could it be that this was really a black shop, fortunately, I had Uncle Xu and my sister by my side, seeing that I was pressed down by several people, Uncle Xu threw them out one by one.

And after those people were thrown out, they fell to the ground, making a noise, listening to the sound, Uncle Xu also used a lot of strength, but when he saw that they covered his mouth in pain, even then he didn't dare to scream loudly, as if he was afraid of something.

They are so weird, they look like rats, and they don't seem to hurt us.

I was about to ask a question, but I heard footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door.

Even if you hear footsteps, it means that the person has come in, but why is there a knock at the door? Could it be that this person is a scholar who knows how to read the number of etiquette?

But if it is a scholar, how can this person come in easily, I still remember that the young man put several thick wooden stakes against the gate, not to say that he is a scholar, he is a strong man, if he wants to come in, it is impossible, unless dozens of people work together to knock the door open.

As soon as I entered this inn, I had already looked at it, the walls around it were built very high, like iron barrels, and the walls of the inn were made of smooth stone slabs, even if you wanted to hook it up with a hook, it was impossible to climb up again, and if you wanted to enter, there was only one way to get in.

"Anyone......"

A strange voice came, although it was a human speech, but it didn't sound like a human being, the voice trembled, although it was not big, but the voice seemed to be around the ears, making people feel cold when they heard it.
