Next Chapter

The rain washed the whole world, and all the filth seemed to be washed away. The town was pitch black, and people were falling asleep, and in a remote corner of a tavern were lit by two white lanterns lit by dim candlelight.

Squeak, the door panel was pushed open a small slit, no more, no less, three inches. On the counter, a candlelight flickered, a teenager drank tea and held a book and watched quietly, when he heard the door knock and asked without raising his head, "What's the matter?" ”

"Greetings to Sir. The little woman in red, today I feel that my soul and body are unstable, and my breath is not smooth when I cultivate, I heard that Mr. is a miracle doctor, and she came from afar to seek a prescription. As the sound fell, a figure gradually appeared three inches away from the door, white clothes with long hair, feet off the ground, pale face and a pair of black eyes, which was fascinating, but waited respectfully for the young man's reply.

"Do you know the rules?" The boy turned the pages of the book and said softly.

"Yes." The female ghost stretched out her hand and wiped her long hair, and as soon as she grabbed the hair, it appeared in her hand, and the hair slowly floated forward. The jet-black hair automatically floated to the shelf behind the boy and landed in an empty jade bottle. The young man casually took out a pill from under the cabinet and threw it at the female ghost, "When you burn ashes, you can't cultivate for three days." ”

"Mr. Xie gave the talisman." The female ghost took the rune paper and said respectfully.

"Yin and yang are different, you are already a ghost, it is better to be reincarnated as soon as possible. Wandering in the world is harmful to you and your loved ones. ”

"Thank you, sir, for the reminder, the little woman will retire." The figure of the female ghost gradually disappeared, and seeing that she didn't listen, the young man snorted indifferently: "It's good for yourself!" ”

After the female ghost left, the tavern was quiet again, the boy still lowered his head and drank tea and read a book, and the rain outside was still falling.

The door creaked, the door was pushed open again, and another figure floated in.

"What do you want?" The boy still cherishes words like gold.

"I want a few clothes." A weak voice sounded, followed by a crisp snap, and a tooth drifted towards the empty jade bottle on the cabinet.

"Burn it yourself." The boy took out a few paper bundles from under the cabinet and pointed to the brazier by the door.

"Thank you." The female ghost picked up the paper and put it in the basin and lit it, and then disappeared from the original opened.

At this time, a team outside the town was hurrying towards the town, and the wheels of the carriage were pressing mud puddles on the ground.

"Master, it's raining too much, why don't we stop and let everyone rest!" The coachman at the front shouted loudly.

"How long will it take to get to Yangjia Town?" A deep, but magnetic voice rang out from inside the car.

"It's about half an hour. Look, sir," replied ...... coachman.

"Let the guys go full speed ahead, and treat them all to the town." The man shouted.

"Yes. Everyone listened, there is still half an hour to arrive in Yangjia Town, and the owner said that as long as we work hard to get to the town, we will invite everyone to eat meat! But don't break the carriage and hurt the ladies and ladies! Do you hear it all? ”

"I heard you!" As soon as it was heard, hundreds of people quickly heard it, and they responded in unison, and the sound was deafening. Half an hour later, a city appeared in front of the caravan. After some dotting, the caravan level finally entered the town.

"You're out of luck, all the inns in town are closed now. But for your sake, I'll give you pointers, go straight down the street, and there's an inn that hasn't closed, and the rest will be up to your luck. During the inspection, an elderly officer and soldier looked at them sympathetically and said. I wanted to say a reminder, but I wanted to say something and stopped, and waved my hand impatiently to let them go. Unbeknownst to them, several guards whispered after they left.

"How can you get them to go to that place? Is it there where people go now! ”

"I know, but what's the solution, you can't let them leave, look at them as if they are either rich or expensive, if you accidentally offend, who will be guilty!"

"Makes sense."

Knock knock, the door panel was knocked on and on, "closed." If you want to stay in the hotel, come back after dawn. The young man's indifference came from afar.

"Isn't this still lit?" The person outside the door shouted: "Shopkeeper, we are passing merchants, the rain is too heavy, we have been looking for a long time and no one answers, and we saw that the lights of your house are on, so please make it convenient." ”

"The time has passed, and we will not accept it."

"Shop, please make it convenient, money is not a problem, just stay for one night." The person outside the door shouted again: "My children have not eaten for half the night, and I hope that the store will be okay and let us stay for a night." However, there was no further response from the house.

"Sir, no one responded." The shouter outside the door ran to the carriage at the front of the line and shouted.

"Wait for the old man to take a look." A middle-aged man listened and pulled up the curtain and walked out, and the groom hurriedly stretched out an umbrella to block the rain.

"Shopkeeper, I'm..." The middle-aged man just knocked on the door, and before he could speak, he heard a cold word from inside: "Get out!" ”

"Master, it's not good! Madame said that the little master was sick! A family member rushed over and said.

"It's... How good is that! The middle-aged man almost fainted when he heard this, looked at the closed door, patted it anxiously, and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, it's good, the old man's youngest son has a disease, and now he is sick, I hope you will let us in!" ”

In the house, the hurried knock on the door made Yang Ming frown, walked to the door with a cold face, and opened the door panel, "I said, it's closed, I won't accept it!" I don't understand people, do you? ”

"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry to disturb you, it's just that my son has an illness and now he has missed the night, so can you make it convenient?" The middle-aged man bowed his hand and apologized. He looked at him coldly for a while, then looked at the team in the rain, and sighed: "Come in." Two people come out to help the guests guide the way! He shouted loudly. As soon as the words fell, two young men came out of the back hall and walked out quickly to help lead everyone into the store.

"Bring people in, find a place to sit by yourself, and don't touch my things, or you will bear the consequences." The young man turned around coldly, thought of something and turned back and asked, "Where is your son?" ”

"My son, he..." The middle-aged man just wanted to answer, but heard Yang Ming say coldly: "If you don't want him to die, bring it to me immediately!" "The words full of commands cannot be questioned. The middle-aged man didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly asked people to bring the child in, and a woman in his heart ran in with a child in his arms, the child was not awake, foaming at the mouth, and the middle-aged man quickly took over the hand nervously and said, "Be careful, don't fall." ”

"Hold it and put it down." Yang Ming knocked on the table, the middle-aged man hurriedly did so, Yang Ming looked at the child's eyes, stretched out his hand, and several silver needles appeared, piercing the child's body, "Ha~ I'll leave it to you here, pull it out in an hour." He said to the two young men, "After saying that, he walked through the back door.

"Yes, shopkeeper." The two little two answered respectfully.

"This is the shopkeeper?!" The middle-aged man was very surprised when he heard this, and at this time a woman and a young girl walked in outside the door. The woman was holding a little girl. The woman was graceful and luxurious, and she was dressed in gorgeous satin, but there was no extra silver ornament on her body. The girl is slim, wearing a blue silk dress, long hair up to the waist, a tender white face, blown and elastic, and pink red lips with a warm smile.

"Master, what's wrong with Chen'er?" When the woman saw her son lying on the table, she trotted forward and checked it up and down, left and right, and when she saw that her son had a silver needle pierced on his body, she said angrily, "What is this?" Who pierced it? Stretching out his hand to pull it out, the middle-aged man hurriedly stopped, "Don't move!" This is the one who just shopkeeper gave it to him. ”

"Shopkeeper? Could it be that a small shop will not be able to see a doctor? The woman wanted to say something, but after seeing the displeased face of the middle-aged man and the unkind eyes of the two juniors, she did not speak.

"Daddy, my brother seems to be fine." The girl leaned forward and leaned over the child's chest to listen.

"Of course! My shopkeeper's shot, how could something happen! The two shopkeepers listened with pride on their faces.

"Ahem, then next, I'll tell you about the rules of our inn, after the first day of dark, you are not allowed to move around at will, you are not allowed to go down to the second floor and the lobby, you are not allowed to seek revenge and cause trouble, and you can't eat overlord meals!" The shopkeeper said with a serious face.

"Second, it is not allowed to break things, otherwise double the compensation, no illegal acts, and no disturbance of other guests." The shopkeeper Eryi is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Third, all the right of interpretation belongs to the store, not allowed to refute, not allowed to violate, and finally do not say unexpectedly, if you violate the rules of the store, you will bear the consequences, and the store is not responsible!" The shopkeeper said solemnly: "Also, the guest room has not yet reached the opening time, please wait quietly, and we will take you to the guest room after dawn!" ”

"This ...... Okay, thanks for telling me! The middle-aged man nodded in gratitude. But in his heart, he didn't think so, and at the same time he became vigilant, and even regretted that he had to listen to the words of the officers and soldiers to come here.

"You can't be a black shop here, right?" But the woman said very displeased. The girl tugged at the corner of her mother's coat and reminded her not to talk nonsense.

"Unintentional words, please include more!" The middle-aged man glared at her and said apologetically. The two juniors ignored it, glanced at it lightly, and began to get busy. Brought braziers to those subordinates, and the middle-aged family of three nervously gathered around the child's table.

"Oops! Forgot to change the lantern! The shopkeeper suddenly shouted, startling everyone in the lobby.

"Hurry, hurry, something bad is going to happen!" The shopkeeper Eryi only remembered about the lantern when he heard it, and the two of them took a ladder from the back hall in a frightened state, and one person took a red lantern, and ran towards the door in a panic.
