Chapter 1 Stay Inn

A month later, we came to the boundary of Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province.

More than 3,000 miles away, we took a carriage along the way, and crossed the mountains and mountains, in short, in order to hurry, we tried our best, and finally a month later, just the last ray of sunshine drilled under the West Mountain, and the earth was gradually covered by night.

Revisiting the old place, Nangong Lingzhu's mood seemed to be exceptionally good, and he also smiled frequently along the way, which made me feel overjoyed.

If we can keep playing like this, just the two of us, how nice it would be......

"What do you think I'm doing? It's getting late, why don't you go find a place to rest?! ”

Nangong Lingzhu saw that I had been staring at her, and couldn't help but glance at me, I suddenly woke up from my distraction, and said with a smile: "In addition to the mountains in front of me, it is still a mountain, so late, if it is impossible to find someone, it is better for us to find a cave to stay for one night, and then I will go to find something to eat, and we will go straight to the Duobao River under Wujin Mountain early tomorrow morning!" ”

"This place is far from Wujin Mountain, not to mention a hundred and ten miles away, if you take the mountain road, it is estimated that it will take two days, if you take the official road, it will definitely go farther, it is estimated that you can reach Wujin Mountain in three days, it seems that you can only rest here for a while......"

Nangong Lingzhu said, disappeared in place, and appeared on the hillside in the blink of an eye, I was stunned, smiled inexplicably, and said to myself, stinky girl, show off that little cultivation in front of me all day long, believe me Chen Xiaojiu will catch up with you one day, hehe!

Running quickly to the hillside, I suddenly saw that the sky was on all sides, and dark clouds gradually surged, and soon, a clear sky above my head was obscured.

"Boom!"

"Click!"

"Nangong girl, it's going to rain, hide in the cave!"

I stretched out my hand to pull Nangong Lingzhu's wrist, but I didn't know that the tentacles fluttered into the air, and then I looked, Nangong Lingzhu had already appeared in the cave, and there was no rain on my body, but I was quickly watered into a soup chicken by the "whooshing" heavy rain.

"Poof!"

Nangong Lingzhu saw me wet into the cave, but he couldn't help but smile, the firewood that had already been picked up, waved his hand to make a real fire, the firewood immediately burned, adjusted the fire, Nangong Lingzhu turned his head to me and said, "Fool, roast the fire." ”

"Miss Nangong, you are really a bodhisattva, beautiful and beautiful, I don't know who is lucky enough to marry you......"

I looked at Nangong Lingzhu blankly through the flames, under the reflection of the firelight, her pink cheeks that could be broken slowly floated with a touch of redness, and when I saw it, Nangong Lingzhu suddenly glared at me.

"Chen Xiaojiu, you are not allowed to look at me!"

Nangong Lingzhu pouted angrily.

"Uh...... Why? ”

I retorted.

"Because I don't like a fool looking at me all day!"

Nangong Lingzhu said, and suddenly couldn't help but smile, it was really a smile, but immediately glared at me again, and said, "Still watch?!" ”

"Ahem! It's you sitting across from me, and I don't see you when I look up, and besides, I'm still wet, so I have to bake it, right? ”

A black line flashed in front of my eyes, and I immediately fought for my rights.

"Whatever you want!"

Nangong Lingzhu said, turned around and leaned against a big rock, his eyes slightly closed, and entered a state of false sleep......

"By the way, Miss Nangong, are you hungry? I ......"

As soon as I said, I picked up the treasure bag and looked at it, and I was dumbfounded...... "It seems that I really have to find something to eat, and the two steamed buns in the treasure bag are wet from the rain!" ”

Nangong Lingzhu completely ignored my existence, I smacked my lips, reluctantly threw out the two water steamed buns, stood up, and said: "Nangong girl, you rest for a while, I'll go to the back mountain to look for it, see if there are people nearby, I hope to find something to eat, we only eat one steamed bun a day per person, and now that today's rations are gone, we can't be so hungry......"

I straightened my shirt, rolled up my trousers, tied the sleeves together, and in a moment it was very neat.

"The mountains here are towering into the clouds, and there are countless abysses, full of aura, there must be mountain spirits and ghosts in it, shuttling between the mountains and forests in the middle of the night, if you encounter them and can't get out, don't shout for ......help."

Nangong Lingzhu said lazily.

"Uh...... I'm looking for food for the two of us, don't look down on me so much, okay? ”

I said angrily, stinky girl, the more you look down on me, the more I have to prove myself...... "By the way, don't call me a fool all day long, I'm not stupid......"

With that, I rushed out of the cave as fast as I could.

"Even if you're not a fool, you're a nerd, and you still run out to find food when it rains so hard, Chen Xiaojiu, you're the stupidest and dumbest fool in the world!"

Suddenly, Nangong Lingzhu appeared at the entrance of the cave, shouting loudly towards the pitch-black mountain forest.

"Hey, hey! Stinky girl, she fierces me on her lips, but she still cares about me in her heart, but I'm a big man, I can't let the women around me go hungry, right? So I must find something to eat this time, and let that stinky girl of Nangong Lingzhu know that she can only rely on me, a stupid and stupid fool, to live in this world! ”

The cold rain hit my face and body, and I couldn't help but sneeze a few times, thinking beautifully, but I saw that there was a bright road not far away, and it was said that it was a bright road, but there was no vegetation on it, and it was particularly translucent in the night.

Well, since there is a clear road, then there must be people walking, and some people walking, which means that there must be people at the foot of the nearby mountain, and with people, I can find something to eat.

Struggle to climb up the hillside, in the rain, these rocks are very slippery, it is very inconvenient to walk, I have to take off my shoes, sa girl to run up to the top of the mountain, look towards the opposite hillside, and suddenly said with surprise: "There is an official road, and there are lights, hehe, it must be an inn!" ”

Rushing down the hill in ecstasy, I headed straight for the place where the lights were.

Half an hour later, I finally came to a cliff, this is a vacant land adjacent to the official road, the left is the cliff, the right is the official road unobstructed, it is a more comfortable place, sure enough, in front of the thatched house, there is a banner, on the book "stay in the inn!" ”

"Stay at the Inn? Hehe! What a fancy name. ”

I walked into the door of the inn and suddenly a cold wind blew in and shook an oil lamp on the counter violently before slowly regaining my composure.

An old man lying next to the oil lamp, estimated to be the owner and partner of this shop, slowly raised his head, squinted his eyes at me, and left grinning, revealing a few old teeth: "Little brother, you dusty servant, what is the matter?" Look at the dirt on this body, sit down and rest. ”

"Uh...... Uncle, I'm drenched in the rain. ”

I smiled.

"Oh? Is it raining outside? ”

The old man squinted his eyes in astonishment, staggered to the door, looked up at the sky, and suddenly smiled: "Hehe! I didn't expect that I slept until now, I didn't know how to close the door when it was dark, it was raining so hard, there must be no guests......"

As he spoke, the old man shuddered and folded the door shut, piece by piece.

When I saw it, I hurriedly asked, "Uncle, isn't this a guest?" ”

"Oh? Where are the guests? Are there still guests at such a late hour? ”

The old man hurriedly opened the door again, turned around and staggered to me, and asked, "Little brother, where are the guests?" ”

"Alas! Uncle, it's hard to imagine that you can still open an inn when you're so confused, I, am I not a guest? ”

I pointed to myself and said aloud.

"Who said that little old man I was confused?!"

The old man frowned suddenly, and said angrily, but soon said with a smile: "Little brother, little old man, I know, you are a guest, right?" By the way, little brother, what are you doing here? ”

“…… Uncle, aren't you an inn? Of course I'm here for dinner! ”

I almost fainted, but in such a barren mountain and wilderness, an old man, it is better to be confused, I will not feel lonely if I am confused, I eat, sleep and sleep every day, and I am happy to be at ease.

"Huh! Little brother, don't think I'm confused, I know you're here to eat, and you're drinking, by the way, what are you going to eat? ”

The old man pointed at me with a smile, but immediately asked in confusion.

"Oh, let's have four steamed buns, two of them are wrapped up and I took them, and another dish of side dishes and a pot of wine, old man, do you hear clearly?"

When I finished speaking, I was speechless when I saw the old man standing in place with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Huh! Little brother, you will be delivered later, and the food and drinks will be delivered immediately! ”

Just as I was looking to see if the old man was really asleep, the old man suddenly shook the rag on his shoulder, and shouted with a smile, almost scaring me.

Just when the old man entered the inner room to prepare the meal, I inexplicably felt some cold breath blowing on my back, and reached out to touch the treasure bag, but I found that the peach wood sword trembled, the sword body kept trembling, frowned, and I murmured secretly: "Couldn't I enter a ghost inn?" Stay at the Inn...... Is it really a ghost inn?! ”

"Little brother, here ...... the food"

At this moment, the old man suddenly walked out with a wooden plate, and shouted with a smile, I was shocked, and I was just about to draw out the peachwood sword to resist, but at the same time, the peachwood sword actually stopped trembling, and was unusually calm.

"Huh? Isn't this old man a ghost? Is it my delusion? ”

I muttered to myself.

"Who is the ghost? What the hell?! ”

The old man suddenly glanced around, asked urgently, and finally his eyes fell on me, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't talk nonsense lightly, maybe you will really provoke ghosts to come to the door!" ”
