The wilderness inn, faintly with a light on, looming. It seems to be extinguished at any time.

Except for some insects that were still chirping in the cicadas, there was only the sound of the wind, and the whirring wind blew the trees and bamboos rattling.

As usual, the night would have passed like this, until dawn, when a new day begins, and then day after day.

However, on this night, there was a slight change.

First, there was a rustling sound from a small road to the west, and not long after, from that road, a group of people came out.

The most impressive thing about this group of people is their pair of eyes that seem to be shining with cold light, even in this night, people can notice their eyes at the first sight of them.

It's so bright, so sharp.

Even the bug that was still chirping just now stopped for a moment.

When they came to the inn, one of them stepped forward and knocked on the leaky door.

I saw that the door was knocking here, trembling slightly, which made people worry about whether the door would collapse directly because it couldn't stand the force.

Half-ringing, a voice came from inside.

"Coming, coming......."

If you listen closely, you'll notice that there's a hint of something else coming from inside.

It wasn't long before the worrisome door slowly opened.

A complaint also came out: "It's so late, you can't knock on the door lightly, hurry up and throw ......"

The word "fetus" had not yet been spoken, but the door that was already ajar allowed the people inside to see the cold and shining eyes outside.

This couldn't help but make him shudder and swallow the word back.

It was a somewhat thin old man, with half-white hair, and a somewhat whitish linen coat.

In his left hand, he holds an oil lamp that is not too bright.

When I saw the eyes outside. The old man's face, which had been a little tired, became straight.

After that, he swept the outer room with his eyes, although he was blocked by the man in front of him. But he could still see the situation outside from the side.

Those sharp eyes fell on him, making him feel colder.

The old man who has been in this wilderness post for I don't know how many years. Over the years, I don't know how much I've seen or encountered.

However, there are only a few times in his life that such a strange scene is like this.

At this moment, a thought popped up in his heart: "Tonight, something is going to happen?" ”

But. The old man is not too afraid of these people, anyway, he is a person who has already stepped into the coffin with half a foot, but he will not take the initiative to provoke these people.

At the very least, his tone softened a lot.

But there are still some complaints.

"I just finished this door today, but I can't stand the gravity, you are so heavy, don't knock it on me again!"

The knock on the door was a big man in a black suit, with blood-red trim on the sleeves and neckline.

Holding a blade in his hand, the empty hand was retracted to the lower part of his waist because he didn't knock on the door.

The old man also took all this into his eyes.

Although he is just an ordinary person. But he still knows all these years of experience. This position is one of the places where you can draw your blade the fastest.

And it can also be used quickly.

The man glanced at the old man, and then took out a silver tael from his bosom. In a low tone, he said: "We are also in a hurry, come here to rest, if there is anything to disturb, we have to bear more!" ”

When the ingot appeared, the old man's eyes lit up.

He took the ingot of silver very familiarly, wiped it with his sleeve, and looked at him carefully, if it were not for the estimation that the owner of the silver was in front of him. Maybe he'll use his teeth to bite it and give it a try.

It seemed that he also sensed the impatience in the big man's eyes.

Therefore, the old man took the money. Some said with a dry smile: "Don't bother, don't bother!" ”

Then he let the body come: "Come in, please." Come in! ”

A group of mermaids rushed in.

When these people came in, they did not immediately go to the room to rest, but went directly to the somewhat rudimentary table, chair and bench and sat down.

The old man didn't say anything, as long as he gave silver, he was the uncle.

These people are now uncles to him, and they are also generous uncles.

When the old man saw these people sitting directly in this hall, his eyes rolled, and he stepped forward and said, "Everyone, the post station is simple, there are no good things, wait for the little old man to give you a hot pot of hot tea." If you're looking for something to eat, I've got all the baked flatbread here! ”

A man nodded at the old man and said in a low voice: "Then it will be annoying to the old man." However, you don't have to prepare something to eat! ”

"Well, then the little old man will give you a warm pot of hot tea!"

After saying that, the old man walked to the back kitchen.

It is said that it is the back kitchen, but in fact, it is covered by a somewhat leaky wooden board, and sitting in the hall, the scene inside can still be faintly seen.

The old man had just walked into the back kitchen, and before he had started to boil water, a child about a teenager came out of a small room.

The child didn't seem to wake up, and wiped his eyes with his hands, as if he had heard the movement outside, so he got up to see what was going on.

Directly, he looked at the old man in a bit of confusion and said, "Grandpa......"

The old man looked at his grandson, his brows furrowed.

He said to his grandson: "Ah Da, there is a guest, you go back to sleep first, and you have to go to the town early tomorrow morning to buy some rice grain, and the rice you eat is almost gone!" ”

The boy was stunned for a moment, as if thinking about something, and the man sobered up a lot, and finally answered, "Oh, I know! ”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.

After that, the old man began to boil water.

By the time he brought the hot tea to the table.

It's been half a ring of time.

The old man said with a smile: "There is no good tea here, it is just some little old people picking camellia from the mountain, so I have wronged you!" ”

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, and this pedestrian doesn't want to do something extraneous. After all, the real thing is yet to come.

The big man took out a piece of silver again, put it on the table, and said, "I'm tired!" ”

The old man was not embarrassed, so he directly put away the silver and thanked him.

Then he said: "If there is anything, just call the little old man!" So he went back to his room.

Dahan nodded again.

The old man returned to the room and saw his grandson, who had no sleep at all, and put away the smile on his face.

The child looked at his grandfather and opened his mouth: "Grandpa......"

However, he was once again blocked back by his grandfather.

The old man looked at his grandson and said a little nervously: "Ah Da, grandpa feels that something is wrong today, you take these silver taels first, if there is something in a while, just take the path I took you to leave, remember?" ”

As he spoke, the old man had already handed over the two ingots of silver he had just gotten to his grandson.

The kid was also sensible, and didn't ask why, just nodded: "Got it, grandpa!" ”

Although the old man still had some savings, at this time, he did not take them out and give them to his grandson.

Didn't pack any luggage either.

Bringing too many things is not necessarily a good thing. Moreover, he was not completely sure that something would happen tonight. It's just a hunch.

In addition, those two ingots of silver are enough for ordinary people to spend for a long time.

It was a sleepless night.

The old man didn't have the heart to rest at all.

And the big men who were still staying outside also sat quietly one after another, like a sculpture, motionless.

The hot tea on the table was getting colder and colder, but none of them had touched it.

Perhaps, they didn't have the heart to touch the tea at all.

The wind outside the house was blowing, and some leaky places in the post station also made strange noises from time to time.

It's just a half-hearted human voice.

Until, when the tea on the table was not completely cold, there was another knock on the door.

The old man waited in the room, paying attention to the movement outside.

But it was as if there was no life outside, and there was no sound all the time.

At this time, the knock on the door sounded, but it was extraordinarily clear.

The old man immediately stepped out, and shouted loudly, "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

This time, it was just one person who came in.

The white-clothed Shengxue, even in this night, can clearly see his eye-catching clothes.

He was holding a Qingfeng sword in his hand, a pair of sword eyebrows, and those bright eyes, which made people cheer for this person.

The swordsman also saw the big men who had come earlier, and he stayed on them for a few seconds, but he quickly looked away.

And those big men are similar and different.

He found a place to sit alone, and he was clearly distinguished from the group of big men.

The old man also immediately served the new swordsman a pot of hot tea.

When he first boiled the water, he didn't put out the fire in the stove at all, and there was a pot of water burning on the stove all the time. Now, it's still piping hot.

This time, the old man did not return to the room.

Instead, they waited directly outside.

Sure enough, in the following time, in less than an hour, six or seven waves of people came one after another.

These people are more or less.

There are only one or two few, and the most are the first batch of big men to come, and there are more than a dozen people.

However, when they are combined, the lobby of this post station cannot accommodate them.

Fortunately, the people who came later, after seeing that there was no place in the hall, all went upstairs and entered the room.

As for whether they slept or rested, it is not known.

When the old man saw the first wave of people, he sensed that something was wrong, and he also judged that something would happen.

However, he still didn't expect that there would be so many people today. (To be continued.) )
