Every corner of the inn was covered with dust, and every step would leave a footprint, and she went upstairs and turned around, there were five rooms in this inn, and it was clear from upstairs and downstairs at a glance, she walked through the corridor and pushed open a door, and there was a gentle footprint on the handrail by the window.

This was by no means left by the old man just now, it seemed that they were followed by a tail.

The four of them chose four similar rooms, cleaned the entire inn briefly, and collapsed on the bed in pain.

After they had rested for a while, the old man came up and knocked on their door, and four bowls of hot noodles were placed on the table downstairs, and a slice of yellow-orange-orange egg was fluttered on top of the noodles.

It turned out that the old man went to the next door to buy four eggs while everyone was cleaning.

They sat at the table, and the old man watched and swallowed.

Jun Ruxi took the chopsticks and ate them, the taste of the noodles was very strange, it was simply the most unpalatable thing he had ever eaten in his life, he frowned and put down the chopsticks.

"Guest, guest, is it not to taste?" The old man asked tremblingly.

Jun Ruxi just wanted to speak, but received an unintentional warning look.

"Old man, he's not hungry yet, you can bring the noodles down."

Wuxin served the noodles to him, and then ate the noodles in a big gulp, Feiyan also took a big gulp, Shu Qi hesitated, tentatively ate a chopstick, and found that it was not as unpalatable as he imagined, and he also ate it in a big gulp.

The old man looked at Jun Ruxi inquiringly, and didn't turn around and go into the kitchen until he saw him nodding.

The old man hadn't eaten an egg for a long time, and when he entered the kitchen, he found a corner and ate the whole bowl of noodles, and drank up the soup without a drop left.

Everyone rested for a day and a night before they fully recovered their energy, and in order to improve their food, Wuxin and Feiyan personally went to the street to buy oil, rice, vinegar, salt and various dishes.

During the meal, they let the old man sit together, and learned that the old man's name was Gu Mi, who was eighty years old this year, and the neighbors called him Mi Lao, and this inn was the foundation of his ancestors, and his relatives had passed away, and now he was left alone, and there was no one to send him to the end.

The old man was very enthusiastic about them, and told them the old things about the former Sichuan City, and the old man estimated that he hadn't spoken to anyone for too long, and the words were scarce, and the story was told intermittently.

"The son of the old Li family, that, that one is not angry, he went to the village the next day, caught a girl and did something, what, what is the word called, Tian, Tian is nothing."

"Shameless."

I listened to the old man quietly.

"That's right! It's a shameless thing, the poor girl has already had affection for others, and in frustration, she killed the kid, wore bloody clothes, and went home crazy.

Her old man, oh, was so angry that he smoked and beat her badly, and the very well-behaved girl sank into the river like that.

Hey, the magic is still to come, the girl was taken away by the river god, and when she fished it up, there was only a cage, which was really incredible, incredible. ”

"What's that village called?"

Shu Qi listened to the heroine in the story and felt a little familiar, so he asked.

"Alas~ It happened five years ago, what is it called, what is Osmanthus Village, I just heard from a few aunts passing by." The old man patted his unsettling legs.

If it was good, it was the village they were going to, since they were all people who disappeared five years ago, why did they suddenly appear in the capital and do something like that.

"Old man, have you seen any special people coming to stay at the hotel?"

"Special? I don't remember exactly, I don't have many guests here a year, oh! Five years ago, there was a masked girl with black smoke emitting black smoke and like she was on fire, and she beat my old woman to death when she entered the door. ”

The black spots the size of fingernails on the old man's face were crumpled, and he couldn't see what his expression was, but he could only see a trace of sadness in the eyes that were about to close.

"Old man, please help us take care of the salute for the next period of time."

"Is this lady leaving? , is it that the old man is not well entertained. ”

Mi Lao was reluctant to let them go, and it was rare for anyone to listen to such a boring and old-fashioned story as him.

"The meals cooked by the old people are already very good, but we can't stay longer because we have something to do."

"That's right, then, Madame and the three little sons walk slowly."

They cleaned up briefly, dressed lightly, Mi Lao stood at the door and reluctantly watched them leave, turned back to the table and sat down lonely, there was still unfinished food on the table, gradually cooled, the shop was dark, and he was the only one.

The four of them climbed over a mountain, walked through the deserted fields, I don't know what animals were calling, the echoes were very terrifying, and the sound of crescendo bells drifted intermittently in the distance, some sounded like the voice of a woman whispering, and the white sky gave birth to a terrifying feeling.

A huge stone smashed into the mountainside in the distance, and half of the stone body sank into the mountain.

And the osmanthus tree, which was destroyed by the Yushi Qi wave that was smashed down, was full of dilapidated thatched houses, and the four of them were separated from each other in the village to have a training, which was very weird.

"Master, the spies came to Guiyuan a few days ago, and sure enough, those people can't be trusted."

Feiyan had known for a long time that those people were not clean.

"The spies are fake."

"Impossible, our master's people can't be fake!"

Shu Qi could not have imagined that his subordinates, who shared weal and woe, would betray them.

"Xin'er, what do you think?" Jun Ruxi set his eyes on her, he just wanted to listen to her, wanted to see her focused analysis, and wanted to see her every tiny expression.

"The spies may have been deceived by a false appearance, in short, everyone can't return in vain, two people in a team, let's see what clues are in these houses."

These two people are a pair, naturally it is extremely clear who is with whom, Shu Qi took the initiative to stand with Feiyan and forcibly dragged her away.

Unintentionally, he pushed open a wooden house with a broken roof nearby.

There was a musty smell in the room, and there was a group of gray rats in the rice jar in the kitchen, and the rats had red eyes, as if they had some kind of pink eye, and when they heard someone coming in, they crawled out of the tank and fled in all directions.

When the rat ran out, a white skeleton was exposed, and when he got closer, there were some black spots on the bones in the throat on the skeleton.

But judging from the size of the skeleton, it can be seen that this is a tall adult man with a greatly expanded chin.

On his skeleton, there are also several daring rats swinging on their inner bones, and their mouths are squeaking and squeaking in horror.

Wuxin picked up a wooden stick from the ground to drive away the rats, and then took out the skeleton and carefully placed it on the ground.

The man's index finger was broken, one section was missing, and the other hand seemed to point to something, they carefully searched for it in the house, and accidentally kicked the jar, only to find that there was a cellar entrance under the jar, and he climbed down with Jun Ruxi without intention, there was not much space inside, there was a rotten sweet potato, the wall was a stone wall, sealed very tightly and not destroyed by mice, but there was nothing worth rummaging in it, it was difficult for them to think wrong?

Seeing this, Jun Ruxi also rolled up his sleeves and rummaged through them, and got the rotten red pulp all over his sleeves, he looked for a long time and touched a very hard thing.

"Heart! Come here! ”
