Chapter Ninety-Seven: Squatting
But just as we were about to leave the town, the master suddenly stopped.
"Wang Daoyou, why don't you leave?" Hihachi looked at the master and asked.
"Hehe, I've decided to stay overnight and get your money bag back for you by the way, how about it?" The master looked at Feihachi and said.
"Huh? Wang Daoyou, there are some things we can't do. Fei Hachi hurriedly ran to the master's side and said.
The master glanced at Fei Fei Ba and said, "What do you want, how can I do such a thing, I am a mountain man with his own clever plan." ”
"So what are we going to do now?" Hihachi looked at the master and asked.
The master thought for a while and said, "Find the most remote inn in this town to stay." ”
After a morning of searching, we finally found an inn in the far northwest of the town. This inn can be said to be extremely remote, and almost no one lives there.
I'm also curious, since there is no one to stay. How did this inn survive, if it had been in normal times, wouldn't it have closed a long time ago?
Under the leadership of the guy in the store, I found a room. The guy in the shop was so enthusiastic that he brought us hot water and asked us what else we needed, which made me a little embarrassed.
We stayed at the inn for the rest of the day, and we didn't leave the inn during that time.
When night fell, the master called Fat Eight, and we went out to eat together.
After the meal we didn't go straight back to the inn where we stayed, but went to the one we stayed at last night.
When we came to the vicinity of the inn, the master glanced around.
Then he said, "This is it, and then we'll wait for the fish to take the bait." ”
I heard the master say this suddenly, and I felt like a fog. Could it be that the man will come over?
The bored master and Hipachi drank a little wine on the side, and they gave the task of supervision to me and Hisashi.
And I got bored after watching it for a while, so I said to Jiusheng: "Jiusheng, this is a good opportunity to train you." Come on, I'm optimistic about you. ”
Without waiting for a long time to speak, I turned around and walked to Qing Yao's side and chatted. And Jiusheng was lying in the corner of the wall with a reluctant face, looking in the direction of the inn.
But until almost midnight, Jiusheng still didn't find anything. And I was already sleepy at this time, I was about to fall asleep leaning against the wall.
"Come on, come on, that kid has appeared." Jiusheng whispered to us.
After hearing this, the master smiled and said to Feipa, "How about it, the fish is hooked." ”
Fat Hachi gave a thumbs up to the master, and then hurried to the corner, and I hurriedly got up and walked towards the corner.
When I came to the corner, I suddenly saw a sneaky man walking towards the inn. And that person was none other than the one who was caught by Fat Eight in the morning.
Fat Hachi gritted his teeth and said, "Good guy, I finally caught you." ”
After saying that, Fei Ba was about to get up to catch the man, but the master reached out and stopped Fei Ba on the side: "What's the hurry, catch the thief and catch the stolen goods." He hasn't done it yet, so we'll wait. ”
After hearing this, Fat Hachi honestly retracted his body again, and looked at the person at the door of the inn with a look of hatred.
At this time, the street was deserted, and that person was particularly conspicuous on the street at this time.
When the man walked to the door of the inn, he did not go in directly, but walked towards the alley next to the inn.
"Master, he's in the alley." Jiusheng turned his head to look at Fat Eight and said.
Fei Hachi turned his head to look at the master, and the master took a sip of wine, and then opened his mouth and said, "Follow up." ”
As soon as we heard what the master said, we hurriedly followed. Even Qing Yao suddenly became curious about that person, and she hurriedly followed me.
When we came to the mouth of the alley, we found that there was no one inside, and it was completely empty.
Seeing this situation, Fei Ba was about to shout something, but the master hurriedly reached out and covered Fei Ba's mouth.
"Don't worry, look around the corner." As he spoke, the master pointed to the front.
We looked in the direction the master was pointing and saw another person squatting around the corner. And that person has no doubt, it must be that person is right.
I saw the man crouching around the corner as if fiddling with something, and after a long time, he slowly turned around.
A moment later, he was seen lighting an oil lamp, and the moment the oil lamp was lit, the man looked around. When he saw where we were, a few of us quickly shrank back, and a moment later we poked our heads out again.
This time, I noticed that the man seemed to be muttering something to the oil lamp, and after a while, a breeze blew in the alley. The light of the oil lamp swayed with the breeze, as if it could go out at any moment.
The man's shadow was stretched long, long by the oil lamp, and swayed with the light. Such a scene adds a touch of mystery and horror to this man.
But at this time, the light of the oil lamp actually changed. I saw that the light of the oil lamp turned green little by little.
And since the man was next to the oil lamp, his face looked green at this time.
"It's coming, it's coming, hurry up and open the eye of the sky." The master whispered.
After hearing this, a few of them hurriedly opened the eye of heaven, and I asked the master for two willow leaves. I rubbed a willow leaf on my eyelid before looking at the man.
Just as I looked at him again, I noticed that there were three more people around him out of thin air. No, ghosts to be exact.
The three ghosts were all dressed in white, and the clothes still seemed to fit well, except for one of them, which was fat.
The man suddenly said to the three ghosts, "You three listen to me, I was almost caught in the morning." If you're leaving a trail this time, I'm going to knock you away. ”
When the three ghosts heard this, they hurriedly took a few steps back and nodded frantically at the man.
The man glanced at the three ghosts and said, "Go." ”
After hearing this, the three ghosts spun around in place and disappeared.
"Hehe, I've been doing it for a long time, it's a little ghost raised by this kid." Fat Hachi looked at the man and whispered.
"Now you've got your purse in hand." The master said with a smile.
"But why did you say it until we were about to leave town, and why did you find such a remote inn to stay in?" Hihachi looked at the master and asked.
And what Fat Eight asked was exactly what I wanted to know.
The master looked at Fei Hachi and explained, "You think, since you have found him, he will definitely pay attention to your whereabouts." As long as you don't leave town, he won't be here tonight. As for the inn, it was to avoid him. ”
