Chapter 378: Town
The voice was like a layer of sandpaper, and Lin Zuiliu was startled.
Liao Luan stopped her beside her, looked at the man and said, "Old man, I want to ask if there is a place to live here?" ”
"Hey, we're so remote here, where did we come from?" She said, and suddenly thought for a while, "No, there is a small inn in the east of the city, I don't know if it can't be opened now, you can go and have a look." ”
In fact, Lin Zuiliu also wanted to ask why it looked so strange in this city.
But the old lady herself was already very strange, and her words slurred around her mouth, and finally she did not say them.
"Thank you, old man, let's go and see it now." After saying goodbye to the old lady, I saw an inn sign in the east of the city.
It could be seen that the sign had been a long time old, with a little cobwebs on it, Liao Luan got out of the carriage and went over to knock on the door.
There was no sound inside for a long time, and just as he stretched out his hand to knock again, he suddenly heard two footsteps.
The footsteps were fast and slow, and after a while, a trembling woman's voice appeared on the other side of the door.
"Who...... Who is it. Her voice sounded frightened, with some nervousness in it.
Lin Zuiliu hurriedly responded: "Eldest sister, we are here to stay in the hotel. ”
The person inside hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's so late, why are you staying at the hotel now?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Zuiliu looked up without a trace, it was only six o'clock at this time, but according to this place, it seems that it is indeed too late at six o'clock.
"We've just arrived, and I've heard that you're the only inn here, so we're here to ask."
She expected that the eldest sister should also want to make money, otherwise she wouldn't have asked them at the door for so long.
So he hurriedly said again: "My lord and I came out to do business, and it was really helpless to come to this place, and I bothered my eldest sister to let us have a place to stay." ”
It was probably the word business that successfully attracted the eldest sister, and she hesitated for a while before opening the door.
There was a dull "squeak" from the old door, and then the two of them saw the people inside.
It was indeed a middle-aged woman, and she still looked a little charming, but after all, the years are fleeting, and I don't know what I have experienced, so I look at some vicissitudes.
"Come in, hurry up." As she spoke, she saw the carriage behind the two of them, and sighed as if it was troublesome.
"Wait, I'll open the back door for you and come in through the backyard."
Liao Luan pulled the carriage into the backyard as she said, and there were two shopkeepers standing in the backyard, looking sleepy-eyed, they should have been picked up temporarily.
"Come in quickly, we'll rest early in the evening, but don't think about going out and wandering around, don't hear me."
The shopkeeper was no longer as cautious as Fang Cai, and he looked a little resolute.
Lin Zuiliu nodded in response, stepped forward again, and said, "Eldest sister, I want to ask why there is no one on the street here so early." ”
The eldest sister glanced at Lin Zuiliu, "There are so many other problems in the little girl's family, anyway, remember the words of the eldest sister, just don't be so curious about everything." ”
didn't ask anything, Lin Zuiliu was in a little bad mood, her curiosity was originally strong, and now she can't know gossip, and her heart is like a cat scratching.
"My surname is Ye, just call me Sister Ye." With that, Sister Ye took the two of them upstairs and went directly to a room on the second floor.
It's not an illusion, this inn is really a bit dilapidated, and there is a creaking sound on the floor when you go upstairs.
Entering the room, the two shopkeepers put down their luggage and went straight downstairs.
Only Sister Ye was standing at the door, looking at them mysteriously, "You must listen to me, don't go out blindly, it's best to stay here all the time, and leave tomorrow if you can." ”
Then he also left, and thoughtfully closed the door for them.
"What's wrong with the people here, why do they only talk half of what they say?"
"Don't jump." Liao Luan reached out and grabbed her arm, frowned and said, "I think something should have happened here, but it has nothing to do with us, we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”
When he said this, he was afraid that Lin Zuiliu would want to get involved as soon as he encountered this kind of thing, and they didn't have much time now, so they couldn't delay time in this kind of thing.
"But aren't you curious?" Lin Zuiliu raised his eyebrows and said, seeing that Liao Luan shook his head very calmly, pouted and ignored him.
After nearly half an hour, a shopkeeper brought hot water to the two, and after washing, the two went to bed early according to the shopkeeper's words.
Lin Zuiliu was woken up by a rustling sound outside the window in the middle of the night.
Because of her lack of energy, she can't see clearly every time she wakes up, but fortunately, Liao Luan also woke up, he held down Lin Zuiliu, and got out of bed to take a look.
"What's wrong? What's going on outside? Lin Zuiliu urged.
"It's okay, go to bed early." There was something wrong with his voice, with a little strong depression, he returned to the bed, pulled Lin Zuiliu and didn't lie down again.
She knew that Liao Luan should have seen something and deliberately didn't tell her, but she didn't ask again, she woke up too quickly, and soon Lin Zuiliu hurriedly fell into a dream again.
At this time, Liao Luan's face was full of seriousness, and when he saw that Lin Zuiliu was asleep, he got out of bed and returned to the window and blew a whistle.
Soon there were two more people standing in the room, and it was Guanyan and Tsuruichi who followed them all the way to protect them.
"Have you checked it?" Liao Luan spoke coldly.
"Back to the prince, I've already checked." Tsuru clenched his fists and quickly introduced the town that was full of weirdness.
In fact, the people of this town are not very vicious people.
However, in the past few years, several waves of guests from the town have been killed inexplicably.
Since then, the whole town has been shrouded in shadows for many years, and there have been many mysterious things, especially at night, which are very scary.
The superstition of the people here soon spread among the people in the town, and after the news spread, some people didn't care about it at first, and then it appeared a few times.
In the end, it turned out to be a place with a small reputation, and many rich people with curiosity came to see it a few times.
Hearing this, Liao Luan raised his eyebrows, and then smiled.
The inn where he lives now looks ruined from the outside, and everything in the room is complete, even the sheets and quilts are newly replaced.
It really doesn't look like no one has come to live in a long time.
"This king knows, don't startle the snake, protect the princess."
"Yes." The two responded, and soon disappeared in the darkness again, Liao Luan walked leisurely, took a few steps back to the bed and lay down, closed his eyes and pretended to rest.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard the sound of a deadbolt.
There was a thick smoke in the air, like an inferior incense, and Liao Luan's body was hard and hard, and he didn't react to this smell.
He was afraid that Lin Zuiliu wouldn't be able to stand it, so he put a handkerchief on her mouth, and the room was quiet for a while, only the sound of the door bolt shaking.
After a long "click", it was supposed that the deadbolt had been opened.
Liao Luan's ears are good, and the sound from outside reaches his ears word for word, there should be many people.
As they reached the door of the back room, someone suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Here we are." Liao Luan thought in his heart, he hurriedly picked up Lin Zuiliu, who had woken up in a daze, and shouted, "Go." ”
This is said to Guanyan and Heyi, for the sake of safety, for the sake of Lin Zuiliu, Liao Luan has no intention of comparing with this group of people at all.
In a hurry, the people outside shouted, "I've scared the snake." ”
They followed the window directly to the backyard, and Guanyan and Crane were holding a box one or two before they put it away, and they heard the shrill cry of a woman behind them.
This voice was from the innkeeper Sister Ye, who shouted in her big life: "What are you eating, people are here, quickly arrest them for me." ”
About half of the whole town came, not only in their rooms upstairs, but also in the courtyard downstairs.
Hearing Sister Ye shout like this, a group of people hurriedly came over and planned to arrest Liao Luan and their party, but fortunately, the crane acted quickly, and the strong martial arts of Guanyan had been dragging it out.
Then the carriage began to move.
Probably because everyone had just come in, the door of the backyard was open, and the crane hesitated a little, and drove the horse out of the yard.
"Everyone has run away, these two people are rich, if you let them go, you can't be spared."
Guan Yan's expression moved, and then he heard Liao Luan's voice.
"Don't fight, go."
He realized, and hurriedly wanted to get rid of the entangled few people, these people had no skills, and they were crazy to come up and chop with tools.
Soon Guan Yan shook them off, followed them, got into the carriage and rushed out.
There were people rushing up on the road, with kitchen knives and axes in their hands, and when they saw their carriage, they rushed up with rage, and because the carriage was too fast, it was bounced away.
The carriage went around and around until it was about to dawn before it rushed out of town and back on its way.
The two horses pulling the cart were obviously tired, and they were panting loudly with their tongues outstretched, and the crane stopped them, but they also felt their hearts pounding.
"Where did this group come from? How to fight is the same as not dying. He frowned and gasped.
Guan Yan waved his hand, and he didn't know what was going on, but their prince said to let them get ready, so he made a small mechanism outside the door in advance.
I didn't expect anyone to come.
After such a trip, Lin Zuiliu, who was originally drowsy, has also successfully woken up.
She didn't know what was going on at all, so she was still in a state of confusion at this time, looked at Liao Luan and asked, "What's going on?" Why did we come out all of a sudden? ”
