Chapter 6: The New Inn
A large part of the meadow is barren, and the soil has been turned over. I took a look at it, and a thought came to my mind.
Will...... This is the Yin Yang Inn? Or is this the place where the Yin-Yang Inn used to be?
I was skeptical at first, but it wasn't until I saw the actual size of the wasteland that I really confirmed it.
I had to tell Boss Ye that this is actually the Yin Yang Inn.
But Boss Ye was unexpectedly not surprised, his reaction was very normal: "Oh, too, it's normal for this inn to move here." However, the house was also moved, which was quite unexpected. β
Then, he squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, rubbed it in his hand, and sniffed it again: "Strange, there are also here." β
"What's there?" I asked, squatted down as well, followed the example of Boss Ye, grabbed a handful of soil and held it in my hand.
"Smell it, see if it smells."
Hearing this, I lowered my head and sniffed.
"This ......," I raised my head to look at Boss Ye, "how can there be a smell of gunsmoke?" β
It is true that there is a slight smell of gunpowder smoke in the earth, but this smell is already very faint, and it is masked by the original aroma of rain and earth, and it is really impossible to detect it if you don't distinguish it carefully.
"What else, there must be a fire here, maybe this inn was burned down." Boss Ye pouted, "What about the specifics, you better find the boss and ask, he is likely to still be in the village." Alright, let's get out of here, I'm going to freeze to death. β
I saw that Boss Ye had been curled up in a ball by the cold, and he was intermittent after speaking, and I was a little worried that he would get sick, so I didn't say anything more, and trotted back to the village with him.
The Yin-Yang Inn was very close to the village, and in two minutes, we were back on the main road of the village.
At this time, I was already running sweaty, and I was about to take off my clothes, but I saw Boss Ye next to me sitting on the ground, holding his legs, shaking all over.
This scene startled me. I hurriedly asked him, but I heard Boss Ye keep repeating: "Leng ...... Chilled to death......"
I was shocked, this is back in the village, why does Boss Ye still feel cold?
I took off my coat and was trying to put it on him. After thinking about it, he took off his sweater again. Then it was put on his body.
"How does it feel?" I asked.
saw that Boss Ye was still trembling, and he couldn't even speak.
But the strange thing is that I noticed that there were some beads of sweat on his forehead, and even his face was a normal ruddy color. I reached out and touched his forehead, it was neither cold nor hot, it was normal.
This...... Looking left and right doesn't look like the performance of a person who is frozen like this! I was completely confused, wondering whether it would be better to take him to the infirmary or just take him back to the hotel.
Just when I decided to carry Boss Ye back to the hotel, a human voice suddenly sounded behind me: "Your friend, I must have met them." Or, let me take a look? β
I subconsciously turned my head and saw the young lady from the main station standing straight behind me. She changed into a Hanfu and carried a lantern in her hand, like the daughter of a big family in ancient times.
I was so fascinated that I forgot what I was supposed to do.
"What's wrong? Don't save your friend? The young lady of the main station frowned, "If you want to save him, bring him over." With that, she turned slightly to the side and stopped looking at me.
I blushed, knowing that I had lost my temper, so I had to cough a few times deliberately to ease the atmosphere, and then I turned around and put Boss Ye on my shoulder.
"Alright, follow me." The young lady turned around and walked towards a small alley, and I followed closely behind Boss Ye with my shoulder.
"By the way, what do you call itβ"
"Gingerβ"
Ginger? I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head vigorously.
"Oh, Miss Jiang, right? Why do you carry a lantern? I didn't have anything to say and chatted with Miss Jiang. I was really curious about her carrying a lantern in a village that wasn't particularly dark.
"It's our habit to carry lanterns at night and walk at night." Miss Jiang said coldly, and then added: "It's here in front, wait a minute, don't bring your friend in directly, put him outside first." β
"Ah, good. Is it coming? I craned my neck to look ahead, but I saw a wooden door at the end of the alleyway in front of me, and on top of the wooden door hung two lanterns identical to Miss Jiang's hand, as well as a plaque.
Through the bright light of the lantern, I could see the words on the plaque - Yin Yang Inn.
"Yin Yang Inn? Then you'reβ"
Miss Jiang seemed to understand what I was going to ask in advance, and before I could finish speaking, she replied, "The owner of the inn ......"
I ......didn't know what to say for a moment, so I walked awkwardly to the wooden door.
After Miss Jiang pushed the door open, she turned around and said, "Put your friend here and leave it to me." Then, you come in, and there's someone inside who wants to talk to you. β
After that, she stepped aside and made way for her.
I had just placed Boss Ye at this time, and when I heard someone inside looking for me, I subconsciously looked inside.
"Come in, Wang Hao, I've been waiting for you for a long time." There was a voice in the house, it was the owner of the Yin Yang Inn before.
I didn't doubt him, and stepped in......
Walking through the courtyard, I walked into the main house. In the main hall of the main house, there is a relatively large coffee table and four chairs. Other than that, there's a god table in the southeast corner.
On the table of the gods was the Emperor Zhongtian Ziwei, and at this time, the incense candles used for the worship were burning vigorously - obviously they had just been replaced.
The fragrance of burning incense candles and the aroma of hot tea on the coffee table are intertwined to form a unique fragrance.
At this time, the innkeeper was carrying a teapot to fill two teacups, and when he saw me entering, he said, "Come, sit." β
I took the seat across from him, sat down, and then said, "Boss, didn't you say you weren't the boss on the street just now?" Also, how did you move here? β
"The Yin people haven't come back, and the Yin Yang Inn is open there again, isn't it provoking them to come to the door?" The innkeeper put a cup of tea in front of me and said, "Also, there are so many people on the street, I'm going to admit it directly, something will happen if you don't have it." I'm guessing you've noticed a lot of changes here from when you came before, right? β
I nodded: "Indeed, my friend and I still flipped in." But isn't it because a flood control project is being built on the mountain? β
"It was true that they were building a flood control project, but while they were working on it, they found something on that mountain. After that, changes began. The innkeeper said, took a sip of tea, and muttered, "It's a pity that such a good tea has only been drunk so much this year." You don't want to taste it? β
"Found something, found something?" My mind was not on the tea, but when I smelled the fragrance of the tea, I couldn't help but take a sip.
"Yin Renke's things, in fact, this is also a matter of the later stage of construction. But then a team of people came, and they didn't know what they did, and they actually sealed off the whole mountain, but they still said that they were building a flood control project. However, they deceived others, but they couldn't fool me. The innkeeper said, looking up, and drank the rest of the tea in one gulp.
He wanted to continue, and after picking up the teapot, he thought about it, but put it down again: "Forget it, there is not much left, let's keep some." β
"And then?" I asked.
"Later, they set fire to my old house." The innkeeper lowered his head, "As a last resort, I moved the inn here." β
"This ...... You don't go to them to settle scores? β
"How to find it, do you have evidence, you can't say it without evidence, you can only admit it. Forget it, the Yin people won't come back anyway, and I don't need to stay there anymore and wait for them. β
"So what's going on on the mountain now? I have something to put in the hole in that mountain. But who are those on the mountain? Expedition, or something else? β
"Where did the expedition team come from, I don't know this, otherwise I can let them burn my shop? As for what is going on in the mountains now, I don't know very well. Not only tourists are now not allowed to enter the mountain, but also villagers are not allowed to enter. Only the upper village in the back mountainβ" The innkeeper said this, and suddenly stopped talking.
I was a little strange and wanted to continue asking, but I heard footsteps next to me, and at the same time, Miss Jiang's voice rang out: "Okay, your friend is almost recovered, go and help him in." β
Hearing this, I had no choice but to go out and help Boss Ye, who was in a semi-comatose state, in.
"You guys can rest here tonight, the room is ready." Miss Jiang didn't let me enter the main house again, and took me directly to a room next to me.
When I tried to go to the main house again, I found that the lights in the main house had gone out......
