Qu Youying has grown so big, what kind of scene has she never seen, but this is the first time she has "seen a ghost," and she has been stunned by a "ghost" for the first time.

By the time she woke up from her coma, it was already dawn the next day.

Mu Jingzhu had been by her side, and when she opened her eyes, he happened to pour a glass of water when he heard the movement behind him.

"Awake?"

Holding the water, Mu Jingzhu walked towards her.

Qu Youying opened her eyes and was relieved to see that it was him, but her heart still didn't let go completely, she got up from the bed, danced and said, "Jing Candle, there is really a ghost in this inn, I saw it yesterday, that ghost's face is very white, bleeding from the seven orifices, the teeth are red, and there is blood all on it, it's too terrifying, let's go, get out of here——"

She was nervous and incoherent, grabbed Mu Jingzhu's hand, and was about to leave.

But Mu Jingzhu grabbed her wrist and handed over the water cup, "Take a sip of tea first and settle down." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Youying took the water cup, drank it in one gulp, then touched his mouth and said, "Drink, let's go quickly!" I really don't want to stay any longer, it's horrible. ”

Mu Jingzhu watched her get out of bed neatly, put on her shoes, and get dressed, and couldn't help but laugh. He threw the water glass she threw on the bed and put it on the table, and then he picked up their baggage and walked out with them.

Qu Youying opened the door, looked at the road with a sneaky probe, and after making sure that there were no ghosts, she pulled Mu Jingzhu all the way downstairs.

When I came to this inn yesterday, it was almost dusk, so I didn't see anything special.

But now it's broad daylight, but it's still dark in the aisle here, Qu Youying always feels that there is a cool wind blowing, which makes her goosebumps all over, and she drags Mu Jingzhu with both hands, refusing to let go.

Mu Jingzhu looked at her like this, she wanted to laugh but couldn't, so she could only pat the back of her hand and comfort, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

"How can it be okay, there are really ghosts, it's ghosts!"

Qu Youying turned around, and said to him with a sharp figure, seeing that he was walking too slowly, so he desperately pulled forward, but was suddenly pulled back by Mu Jingzhu.

"Watch out for the front."

"Oh."

Qu Youying didn't care about the response, turned her head and continued to go down the stairs, but when she turned her head, she saw the innkeeper standing downstairs with a smile, looking at her.

Half of the smile was hidden in the darkness, revealing only two rows of white teeth, like the fangs of a wild beast, emitting a fine light.

Qu Youying's heart felt cold and stopped.

"You, you're a human or a ghost."

Ordinary people will definitely be unhappy when they are asked like this, but the boss is obviously the one who knows the whole story, he rubbed his hands, and said with a smile on his face, "This little brother, I'm really sorry, it was my fault last night, I didn't take a good look at him, that's why I surprised you, I hope you don't mind." As an apology, I don't need to pay last night's rent, and I have prepared some dry food for you to eat on the road. ”

"Didn't fancy him?" Qu Youying pondered the words in his words, then gasped, and walked up the steps until his back was close to Mu Jingzhu's broad chest, and then stopped, "You, you are really a ghost!" It's so powerful that you're not even afraid of the sun—ouch. ”

Before she could finish gasping for air, her head was hit by Mu Jingzhu, and she turned around and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you beating me!" ”

"You're a pig." Mu Jingzhu couldn't laugh at her behavior, he pointed to the boss's feet and said, "Which ghost have you seen a shadow under your feet?" ”

Qu Youying looked at the situation, there was indeed a shadow under the boss's feet, which proved that he was a human.

So she said, "Is the boss a ghost keeper?" ”

Mu Jingzhu rolled his eyes, not wanting to answer.

Only the boss couldn't help but apologize, "Little brother, we don't have any ghosts here, it's true." The ghost you saw last night was pretended to be the shopkeeper. Wait, I'll prove it to you. ”

As he spoke, he turned to leave, and after a while, he pulled the shopkeeper over, holding something that seemed to be a mask in his hand.

"Stand still."

He pulled the shopkeeper to his side, then picked up the mask in his hand and put it on the shopkeeper's face.

Qu Youying saw it, gasped again, pointed at the shopkeeper and said, "That's it, it's this ghost!" ”

The boss then took off the mask and explained, "Last night, he hid in the room and scared you by pretending to be a ghost." When he was a child, he had a high fever and burned out his brain, sometimes his brain was clear, sometimes he was confused, and when he was confused, he would do some behaviors that ordinary people couldn't understand, such as last night. ”

Qu Youying looked at the shopkeeper at this time, yesterday she felt that the shopkeeper was quite normal, and she knew everything when she inquired about the news.

But the current shopkeeper has been smirking since he came over, looking at Qu Youying's eyes, full of innocence, and hahaha, "Coward, coward, hahaha......"

Qu Youying's face was flushed when she was said, she pursed her lips and didn't speak.

"Since the incident in Yunyang Township came here, he began to be suspicious all day long, saying that the inn was haunted, and at night, he even pretended to be a ghost to intimidate others. For this reason, I have gradually lost business here, and I am about to become what everyone calls a ghost inn. It's really ashamed, ashamed. ”

The boss has a kind of powerless resentment, and this kind of feeling rarely exists in terms of his identity and the identity of the shopkeeper.

So Qu Youying asked, "Boss, who is he?" Why are you being so nice to him? Let him make a fuss like this, and even give up his business? ”

"He is the son of an old man, who once saved my life, this is his child, I can't let it go! Yesterday's incident, I'm really sorry. ”

Now that she has solved the whole story, Qu Youying has no reason to be angry, she waved her hand and said, "Anyway, I'm scared, I'm fine, I just hope you will take a good look at him in the future." Let's go first. ”

Anyway, since last night, she didn't want to stay here anymore, so she exchanged a few words with the boss, and then walked out of the inn with Mu Jingzhu.

"Let's go, two guest officers."

The boss sent it all the way to the door, and only after seeing the two of them go out of the village did he return to the inn, close the door of the inn, and then walk to the shopkeeper who was pouring tea for himself at the table.

"Master, the people have already left the village."

"Okay."

"Shopkeeper" sat in front of the window, holding a teacup and drinking water, his hands were extraordinarily white in the light shining into the inn, not at all like the hands of people doing rough work.

On one side, there is a human skin mask and a pair of hands.

He casually threw his things to his boss and stomped on the bench with his teacup in his hand resting on his knees.

"It's lost, the quality is still not good this time."

His voice was clearer and higher than before, with a bit of arrogance and uninhibited grace.

"Still not good?" The boss looked at the skin mask and hand skin on the table and said, "But master, this is already the best batch." ”

"But it's not as good as the skin." The voice of the "shopkeeper" was a little cold, and he put the water cup on the table, "Send someone to continue looking, and you must find the heir of the skin painting technique." Xi Fengyi is an old fox, I must get the essence of skin painting! ”

"Yes." The boss answered, and said, "Master, there has been news from Shuifu that Xi Fengyi may appear in Rongcheng in the near future, so look, do we want to go back?" ”

The corners of the lips of "Dian Xiaoer" are slightly hooked, and the good-looking arc takes advantage of his chin, with beautiful curves.

It's a pity that the sun shrouded his face, covering his expression and countenance, as if he was like an immortal who descended to the earth, mysterious but attractive.

"Okay, pack up, let's go." He got up from his chair, took two steps forward, and then suddenly stopped, turned back to the boss who was following closely behind him, "You go and inquire about the frightened little boy." ”

The boss knew what he meant, nodded his head, and left.

"The shopkeeper" stood with his hands in his hands, although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, but from the temperament that stretched out, it was absolutely extraordinary.

He looked at the closed door of the inn, only the thin wisps of light seeping in from outside, like a slowly condensing spider web.

"The little and delicate boy is fresh and wants people to take a bite. You can't run away. ”

"Ahh

Qu Youying, who had already set foot on the road to Yunyang Township, sneezed several times in a row, and her ears were red, she rubbed her nose and inhaled again, only then did she feel more comfortable.

"Got a cold?"

Mu Jingzhu rode a horse, and with one free hand, pulled down the brimmed hat on her head, shielding her from some oncoming wind.

"It's a little itchy in my nose." She leaned back, thinking about what had happened at the inn, and suddenly asked, "Do you really believe what the boss says?" ”

"What do you suspect?"

"The boss said that the shopkeeper was hiding in the room and pretending to be a ghost to scare me. But in that room, when we went in, we only lit a small candle, and the scope of illumination was limited, but I remember that when you went in, you looked at all corners of the room, and if he was hiding in it at the time, you shouldn't have even noticed it. But when I saw him, he was in the room. However, in that palm-sized room, the only way to successfully hide and not be discovered is Fang Liang. But the problem is that you have to go up and down from the square beam, without making a sound, and avoid your ears, which is too small! If this is really the case, it means that the owner of the inn and the shopkeeper are not ordinary people. ”

She chattered a lot, but she didn't wait for the evaluation of the people behind her.

"Why don't you speak?"

She noticed that the hat was too big, and when she turned her head, the hat didn't move, and her face was hidden in the hat, so she pulled it away with her hand.

"I'm thinking, although you were scared and fainted, fortunately your brain was not scared stupid, otherwise it would be a burden to take you to handle the case."

"You!" Qu Youying angrily poked him with his elbow, and said unhappily, "In that case, can I not be afraid!" You are really, why didn't you find out that he knew martial arts? Aren't you martial arts practitioners different from ordinary people when you walk or something! ”

Speaking of this, Mu Jingzhu squinted, he drove the horse, his eyes looked ahead, the beautiful sun shone on his face, but it couldn't shine into the thick black pupils.

He said, "This person's martial arts are unknown, but the light skills are definitely very good, and yesterday, I was also surprised by his existence when he got down from the square beam." ”

Qu Youying was shocked by these words, because the person who could make Mu Jingzhu evaluate it like this was definitely no more than one hand, but in such a poor and backward village, there was actually a person.

"What then? Need to investigate his origins? ”

"No, you don't. Our first priority is Yunyang Township, and then Jiangnan Shuifu. Now that the old lady's birthday is approaching, I can't delay it for too long, so sit tight, I'm going to speed up. ”

"Hmm."

Qu Youying nodded, sitting peacefully, she looked ahead, and always felt that since she left Xiangling Town, everything didn't seem to be the same as usual.

Something subtle has changed little by little.
