Chapter 143: Ping An Inn
Under the sunset, Liu Xiu, who was carrying a small backpack, set foot in Luolei Town.
The first feeling that this town gave Liu Xiu was the simple vicissitudes of life, the clean but smooth bluestone slab floor, the mottled old trees, the ancient wells full of 'strangulation', and the ancient buildings along the street......
Everything is like a historical picture scroll slowly unfolding in front of Liu Xiu's eyes.
In this situation, Liu Xiuxin said that he had come to the right place, he liked this kind of place with a great sense of history, and being in it seemed to have a wonderful feeling of witnessing the chaos of time and space in history.
Old town, traveler from afar...... Subconsciously, Liu Xiudu hummed a song of Jialan Rain.
Walking on the ancient streets, Liu Xiu looked around curiously.
The pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, most of them were armed with knives and swords, and they looked like they were not easy to mess with, and the buildings on the side of the street were covered with many new and old traces of fighting.
The overall atmosphere here not only does not make people feel the slightest sense of tranquility and peace, but is tense and serious, and people's speech and behavior, and the eyes of people and things, seem to be vigilant and scrutinized.
"Tsk, I finally found a little taste of the rivers and lakes...... Liu Xiu said to himself in his heart, everything is fresh, he is not affected by the surrounding atmosphere, for himself, he is just a passerby, everything here has nothing to do with him, when he leaves, these are just a memory left in his heart.
Bang......!
The wooden windows of the tavern on the side of the street exploded, and a strong man with a knife flew out with blood, rolled on the ground a few times, and then stood up with difficulty on the ground with a knife, and then slew towards the tavern again with a fierce light.
This scene happened to be seen by Liu Xiu, who stretched his neck curiously and looked at it, and said in his heart, why is this still dry?
The people around seemed to be surprised by such a scene, some people took a few more looks, and more were not even interested in watching.
"Hey, who's that, little young, you're from a foreign country, right? Look at it from a distance, don't get involved, this kind of thing is very common in the town, be careful not to get into trouble, of course, don't be afraid, as long as you don't meddle in your affairs, no one will attack you for no reason"
Just when Liu Xiu stretched his neck and watched the crowd eating melons, a neutral voice came from behind.
Liu Xiu turned around and saw that it was a dark-skinned middle-aged uncle who was burly, shirtless, and was picking his teeth against a shed full of fireworks with his back.
Seeing that the shed behind the other party was full of swords and other weapons, Liu Xiu estimated that he should be a blacksmith, and he was also a very capable blacksmith.
Pointing slightly to the direction where the sound of ping-pong fights came from, Liu Xiu asked curiously: "Does this kind of thing often happen in the town?" ”
The middle-aged uncle took a sip of saliva, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Rare and strange, it's not normal if you don't do a few fights every day in this town, it's okay, what should you do?"
After speaking, the middle-aged uncle didn't look at Liu Xiu anymore, and entered the shed by himself, carrying a hammer the size of a human head and banging the iron.
Tsk, this town is really interesting, Liu Xiu muttered in his heart.
The fight in the tavern over there was over, and the knife-wielding man who had been knocked out of the window had been wiped out of his neck and thrown out on the street, and the blood in the setting sun was shocking and glaring.
This kind of thing seems to be really common in the town, and soon someone came to collect the corpse with a cart to clean up the bloodstains, and it didn't take long for calm to return.
Shaking his head, Liu Xiu didn't mean to participate, so he continued to walk forward, looking around along the street, preparing to find an inn to stay in for one night, it was almost dark, and he didn't want to run to Lightning Strike Mountain in the dark.
"Another little guy attracted by the legend of Lightning Strike Mountain? Don't lose your life......" The middle-aged tree who was striking iron over there skimmed Liu Xiu's back and muttered, his voice muttered to the sound of striking iron.
Liu Xiu passed by the tavern where the fight had taken place before, and some of the conversations were vaguely in his ears.
"The fifth ghost head sword king is also a figure who dominates one side, but I didn't expect to fight here"
"He thought it was still in his territory, this is Thunder Town, which one is easy to mess with? He deserves his bad luck."
"It should be Mr. Kuaijian Nagayama who killed him just now, right? The sword is really fast, and as soon as the sword light flashed, Wang Wu's throat was bleeding, tsk, I didn't even see how he came out of the sword! ”
"Doesn't that mean that you are not sure about Mr. Shang Changshan?"
"Haha, it depends on the situation, people are in the rivers and lakes, and many times they don't see ...... skills"
As he walked away, the voice behind him faded away.
It's an old town, it's a town with legends, it's a town that doesn't have peace, it's a town where too many dry bones are buried......
Although he has only been here for a while, what he has seen and heard has subverted Liu Xiu's previous perception of this world, and perhaps such a scene is the true face of this world.
As he walked, Liu Xiu stopped, looked at it slightly, and then turned around and walked to an inn on the side.
This inn is called 'Ping'an Inn', a very common name, only two floors, the reason why you enter this inn is not because it looks very ancient on the outside, nor because it does not have any traces of battle outside, Liu Xiu is just because the name of this inn has the word Ping'an.
His clinic is called Ping'an Hall, and the inn is called Ping'an Inn, Liu Xiu stubbornly thinks that this is a kind of fate.
There is a lazy little two at the door of the inn, he looks like he is twenty years old, he is drowsy with his back against the pillar, unlike the little two of other inns who immediately greet each other with a smile when a guest comes, but he doesn't raise his eyelids and says: "Ping An Inn, after entering the door, all fights are forbidden, even if the grudge is great, you have to endure it, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
It's not a reminder, it's a warning!
Stunned for a moment, Liu Xiu was curious, feeling that this Ping An Inn is still the town's handle, and it can really keep peace.
So he asked Xiao Er curiously: "I understand what you mean, but what if someone really makes trouble in the inn?" ”
Xiao Er's eyelids were doubled, and he glanced at Liu Xiu with the eyes of the bar spirit, he was too lazy to take care of it, turned over and continued to be drowsy.
"I'll give you a tip for a copper plate, how about you answer my question?" Liu Xiu took out a copper plate and asked persistently.
Xiao Er didn't look back, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the copper plate in Liu Xiu's hand and put it in his arms, almost muttering: "Thank you for the objective reward, but you are also too stingy, those who have to make trouble are fed to the dogs, well, one of your copper plates can only let me answer so much"
"Then there will be another copper plate," Liu Xiu said with great interest, taking out a copper plate again.
Purr ...... Purr ......
Xiao Er 'fell asleep directly'......
Boring, Liu Xiu pursed her lips, put away the copper plate and stepped into the door of the inn.
The hall of the Ping'an Inn is only about 100 square meters, and there are more than a dozen tables, and the dozen or so people who look like they are running the rivers and lakes are sitting at three tables to drink and chat, and they just take a look at Liu Xiu's arrival and don't care.
There was a toothless old man on the other side of the counter who was sleepy bookkeeper, and Liu Xiu, who was trembling with one hand, seriously doubted whether he could do the job of bookkeeping.
"Uncle, stay in the hotel," Liu Xiu stepped forward and said.
As if he was awakened by a sudden voice, he squinted his eyes at Liu Xiule and smiled: "Little brother lives in the hotel, how many days?" We have a chase shop and a single room here, the chase shop is a gold coin a day, and the single room is five gold coins."
"So expensive?" Liu Xiu took out the money for a moment, looked around a little and said in amazement, and said in his heart, You are a black shop, right?
"Hehe, the price is set by the boss, I can't help it, but it's definitely worth the money, as long as you enter our store to keep you safe, how about it, Chase shop or single room?" The old man grinned, and his speech was a little leaky.
A little painful put the five gold coins on the counter, Liu Xiu said: "One day, a single room"
"Okay, but you'll have to pay a deposit of three more gold coins, in case you break something in your room and run away," the old man said with a smile.
Okay, Liu Xiu didn't say anything, and then took out three gold coins and put them on the counter, he chose to believe in the credibility of the store, after all, bragging is not a bit of a skill.
"Take the key, the leftmost room on the second floor" collected the money, and the old man went through the formalities and handed over the key, without even asking Liu Xiu's identity and origin.
After getting the key, Liu Xiu took two steps and turned around and asked, "That, uncle, can I play the erhu in the room, which is some kind of musical instrument, to entertain myself?" ”
"Yes, guest, please take care of yourself, it's better not to make too much noise until late at night, so as not to disturb others," the old man replied very casually.
Liu Xiu nodded, took a step, made an old mistake, stopped and turned back and asked curiously: "That, you said that as long as you don't take the initiative to make trouble at the door of the inn, you will be safe, but what if someone has to make trouble?" ”
"Hehe, don't worry, it will definitely not affect the son, and there are really such people who feed the dogs, if there is a real accident, even if it hurts a hair of the son, our inn is willing to compensate a thousand gold" The old man said with a smile.
"Atmosphere, so I'll rest assured," Liu Xiu said with a thumbs up.
At this moment, the door of the inn shattered, and Xiao Er, who was still sleepy at the door before, flew in upside down and smashed a few tables before stopping.
The atmosphere here suddenly became strange.
In the strange atmosphere, Liu Xiu looked at the old man behind the counter, pointed to his clothes that had been cut by a piece of wood that was broken by the door and flew over, and asked curiously, "How is this counted?" ”
"A thousand gold, we'll accompany!" The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he didn't mean to repay the debt at all.
At the door, a bearded man who was almost as tall as the gate scratched his mouth and pouted: "What kind of bird inn, a shopkeeper dares not to look at Lao Tzu with a straight eye, and he doesn't like to take care of it if he asks a few more words, who gives you the stinky temper you are used to?" ”
"Xianggong, when you go out, you said that you want peace to be precious, why did you still do it?"
A whispering voice came from behind the bearded man, and he said angrily.
"Where...... Nezha? Liu Xiu, who was subconsciously looking at the past here, gasped......
