"Hitomi, you're finally back? Let me see, nothing is wrong, right? ”

Jiao Niang saw Leng Chitong and Squeak from a distance, and hurriedly greeted them, a pair of slender hands groped Leng Chitong's body back and forth, afraid that he would be injured.

"Mother, don't you see that I'm back well? It's not as serious as you think! ”

Leng Chitong spun around in place and patted his body around to show that he was safe and sound.

After Jiao Niang made sure that her baby son had returned to Zhao, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked a little weak.

When Leng Chitong saw Jiao Niang so tired, she thought that there was something uncomfortable about her, so she couldn't help but get a little nervous, and asked, "This, what's wrong?" ”

Jiao Niang smiled weakly listlessly, and waved her hand slightly, "It's okay for my mother...... Don't worry, it's okay, just rest......"

Qiu Rong'er, who was standing next to Jiao Niang, supported her with both hands, looked sad, glanced at Leng Chitong, and said: "I also blame you for this, when you left this morning, did you not see your aunt's sad look, seeing that you haven't come back yet, she said that she can't rest assured, so she has to stand at the door of the inn and refuse to go back to the house......"

"Mother......

Leng Chitong looked at Jiao Niang's haggard appearance who was thinner than Huanghua, and she was a little choked up for a while, as if it was superfluous to say anything to admit her mistake at this moment.

Jiao Niang didn't mean to blame Leng Chitong at all, she was distressed when she saw Leng Chitong's pitiful appearance, "Silly child, it's good for your mother...... Don't worry. ”

Squeak watched the sensational scene of these people from the sidelines, and it was not easy to interrupt their conversation at will.

"Master, since your mother is a little tired, why don't we go to the teahouse? Why don't you sit down and talk slowly? ”

Squeaked at the sleeves of Leng Chitong's clothes, looked at the Yangxin Teahouse across the street from the Tongfu Inn, and improvised a proposal.

"How? Going to a teahouse? I'll go too, I'll go! ”

Just as Leng Chitong was about to nod, Wang Yun came out of nowhere, his eyes flashed with a sparkling look, and he said excitedly.

Leng Chitong rolled her eyes helplessly, very embarrassed, "It's just going to a teahouse, is it necessary for you to be so excited?" ”

Wang Yun shrunk his neck, scratched his scalp embarrassedly, and smirked, "Hey...... Hey, because there's refreshments...... Hee-hee! ”

As he spoke, Wang Yun unconsciously became ashamed and looked red-faced.

If it was really a word that woke up the person in the dream, as soon as Wang Yun said this, the people around him were overjoyed on the spot, and suddenly there was no atmosphere of gloom and mist in the clouds.

"Okay, okay...... Let's go sit down. Jiao Niang shook her head lightly and smiled.

"There are five guest officers?" When a man in the teahouse saw a guest coming to the door, he strode to the door with a smile on his face.

Seeing that they nodded, the guy shouted again in a sharp voice, "Okay! Here's please! ”

"What's the price of your tea?" After a few people sat down, Leng Chitong took the lead in inquiring about the price of tea in this heart-nourishing teahouse.

Jiao Niang and Qiu Rong'er were all stunned, wondering when Leng Chitong had learned to care about the price of things, but only Squeak lowered his head and giggled secretly.

It seems that after experiencing the Drunken Soul Building incident, Leng Chitong knows how to ask the price clearly before eating.

It seems that it is really a trench, a wisdom, and a growth.

"What is the price of this tea...... It still depends on what kind of tea you order, but the average tea is only fifty or sixty copper plates (one hundred copper plates is equal to a silver pearl), if it is a precious variety, it is not this price, and it will have to be more expensive......" The man replied patiently.

In the end, several people ordered the jasmine tea that Jiao Niang has always loved the most.

As for Wang Yun, he didn't decide what kind of refreshments he wanted to eat for a long time, and after getting everyone's unanimous approval, he simply ordered all kinds of refreshments in this Yangxin Teahouse!

Small portions of refreshments were brought to the table one by one, lined up in slices, with a dazzling array of steamed bamboo shoots, zongzi, chaos, hu cakes, raisins, green beans...... There are dozens of refreshments, and the entire table is full, which is truly spectacular.

Wang Yun looked at these refreshments in front of him, his eyebrows and smiles, and he couldn't close his mouth at all! The monkey is anxious to taste this and eat that for a while, and it is really a pleasure to enjoy such a good time.

Yangxin Teahouse has always had a thriving business, and this exaggerated scene is naturally eye-catching, causing the tea customers in the hall to look at them sideways, and their faces are all difficult to hide their surprise.

Leng Chitong and the others instinctively lowered their heads, really feeling a little embarrassed.

Wang Yun was eating Haisai nonsense, while listening to Leng Chitong and Jiao Niang's chat.

When Wang Yun heard about the Drunken Soul Building, he suddenly stopped, suddenly stretched his head forward, and said with great interest: "Really, really? Is there really such a delicious thing in the world? ”

Leng Chitong nodded.

"I want to eat, I want to eat! Let's go now! ”

Wang Yun's mouth was full of refreshment stains, and his fleshy fat hands were also stained with grease, and he couldn't wait to be excited.

"You think too much, we are poor, we can't afford to go! So many refreshments can't fill your stomach......"

Leng Chitong looked at Wang Yun with disgust in his eyes, and said decisively.

However, for Wang Yun, these words are like a slap in the face.

Wang Yun suddenly put on an aggrieved face, and said with a pout: "Go, go!" Didn't you make a lot of gold beads last time you set up in the ring? We're rich! Why can't you afford to eat! ”

This Wang Yun is really taking himself as his own person more and more, and he is almost lawless......

Leng Chitong secretly slandered in his heart.

"Just me and Squeak, we just ate such a table of dishes, seventy gold beads......" Leng Chitong saw that Wang Yun refused to die and went to the Drunken Soul Building to eat, and said this lightly.

"What...... What the!? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

At this moment, Wang Yun had no choice but to bow his head and enjoy the refreshments in the Yangxin Teahouse, no longer shouting wantonly, but he felt tasteless in his mouth, pursed his thick lips, raised his eyes to look at Leng Chitong with resentment, and complained, "Little master, why are we so poor...... I really want to eat something from the Drunken Soul Building......"

"Eh, what do you say has happened to this Cloud Light City lately? This Master Lin became demented a few days ago, and yesterday I heard that Master Wang, Master Li and his two sons, Master Ye, also suddenly became stupid, could it be that this stupid disease will not be contagious? ”

An old man with gray hair at the table next to Leng Chitong talked mysteriously with someone.

"Really? I've heard from others that the always arrogant and domineering Master Zheng's family of five has inexplicably suffered from dementia disease. I haven't heard of this stupid disease contag......ious before," the middle-aged man sitting opposite the gray-haired old man also said in a low voice.

Every word of the two of them invisibly entered the ears of the people at the table of Leng Chitong.

Squeak frowned slightly, a little puzzled, looked at the same pensive Jiao Niang sitting opposite him, and asked, "Madam, is this stupid disease really contagious?" ”

Jiao Niang shook her head directly without thinking about it, "Dementia is generally only contracted by the elderly, and it has never been transmitted to others." ”

"That's strange, why did I hear an old lady on the street mention behind her back that the old man suddenly suffered from dementia a few days ago, and besides, I've seen that person, it's true......"

Squeak was puzzled in his heart, and muttered to himself.

"It's too coincidental, isn't it, just in the past few days, so many people have suffered from dementia?" Qiu Rong'er didn't feel that anything was wrong, but she just felt that this matter was really a coincidence, and it seemed to be at a juncture.

"Coincidental ......"

Squeak subconsciously repeated these two words, but always felt that this should not be just a coincidence.

"Why do I think this is so strange......

Squeaky looked at the tea guest at the next table, only to feel full of suspicion.

On the other hand, Leng Chitong didn't pay too much attention to these gossips, but just glanced at the squeak beside him curiously, "What?" What's weird? ”

Hearing this, Squeak retracted his suspicious thoughts, but he was still serious, "If the strange things that these people are talking about behind their backs are true, why are all the people who have been stupid these days are rich people?" Isn't it strange? ”

"Well, there's something really wrong with you saying that......"

Qiu Rong'er listened to the squeaky words, held her cheek with one hand, and said leisurely.

"In my opinion, there is nothing strange about this, those rich and noble old men are thinking about how to make money every day, don't they think about their brains?"

Leng Chitong leaned back leisurely and said casually.

Qiu Rong'er was happy when she heard it, "Making money can make your brain bad?" That's all you can think of, stinky boy! ”

"Hey! My drunken soul building, I don't even have money to eat......"

Wang Yun was still thinking about the Drunken Soul Building, his eyes full of emptiness and disappointment.

......

At night, the sky was heavy, and a thick dark cloud tightly blocked the stars and moon behind him, and occasionally a gust of wind passed by the window, through the gap, making a whining sound.

"Bang ......"

Outside the window, the street began to fall with large drops of rain, breaking the original silence and adding a little coolness to the autumn night.

Leng Chitong didn't know what was wrong with him, lying on the bed alone tossing and turning and unable to sleep, his mind was blank, but he faintly felt a little dizzy.

Leng Chitong, who was completely sleepy, had to open his eyes and look around in the dark.

What's even more strange is that in the face of such a late night, he inexplicably has a mood to go out.

After a few thoughts, Leng Chitong climbed down the wooden bed in the dark.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got together, a feeling of dizziness hit his brain again, making him uncontrollably staggered.

"Squeak!"

Leng Chitong tried his best to slowly open the wooden door little by little, but he still inevitably made a slight sound of opening the door.

He bit his lip and stopped for a moment.

Because Qiu Rong'er insisted on asking to live alone in a room, Jiao Niang lived next door to him.

He didn't want to make a big noise and wake up the lady who had always slept very lightly.

Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly slowly passed by the door of Leng Chitong's room, stepping on extremely light steps, without making any big noise, but it still caused a gust of wind, blowing into his room through the slightly open door.

Who was that just now? Also a tenant of this inn? There are also people who go out in the middle of the night to wander around? It seems that I'm not the only night owl......

Leng Chitong thought secretly in his heart.

When there was no movement, he carefully and slowly continued to push open the door again.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed from the side of the door!
