Zhuang Zhengde and Hu Bulai sat on the side of the carriage, Zhuang Zhengde did not speak, after lunch, he had to be sleepy every time, and he was already a little confused at this time. Hu Bulai pulled the reins and carefully set up the carriage, and secretly looked at the fat boy next to him, after all, there was no complaint at noon, so he invited himself to eat two bowls of lo mein, and drank other people's tea. Even if he has been walking the rivers and lakes cheekily for so many years, Hu Bulai also feels a little guilty in his heart.

Hu Bulai asked softly, "Zhuang Gongzi, Zhuang Gongzi?" What are you going to do in Taizhou? Our acquaintance is fate, the poor road is home all over the world, I don't know if the son is willing to take the poor road with him? It just so happened that Poor Dao was also going to Taizhou Mansion to do some small things. ”

Zhuang Zhengde rubbed his eyes, although this nonsense is thick-skinned, he rubbed his own tea and rice. But between these conversations, I also feel that Hu Bulai is not a bad person. In these years, who is willing to go to the streets and alleys to eat and sleep in the open, it is not all forced by life, as long as there is no bad intention, it doesn't matter if there is anything else.

Zhuang Zhengde looked at Hu Bulai's eager gaze and replied, "Daoist Hu, you're welcome, don't be a son, what kind of son am I, just a down-and-out scholar." When I went to Taizhou Mansion, I had a friend who was seriously ill, but I couldn't find Lang Zhong well. I went to pay a visit, and I had no regrets. ”

Hu Bulai actually doesn't have a destination, just think that he can take the car with him, and wherever he goes, he is where he goes, "Oh, it's not difficult to get there, after our things are done at the Rifler Inn, the poor road will go with you, and there will be a response." It's not a poor road to brag, this is a general minor illness and a small disaster, and the poor road is easy to come. If there is such a little evil thing to do, as soon as the poor road shakes these three clear bells, they will have to retreat. Brother Zhuang rest assured, there is a poor road to ensure that you are unimpeded all the way. ”

Zhuang Zhengde didn't bother to talk, he didn't listen to Hu talking to himself, it didn't matter if he wanted to come to more than one person, he just happened to have a companion on the way. Since he was a child, Zhuang Zhengde has seen a lot of this kind of mouth, bragging about the boundlessness of the bull, if he really wants to encounter something, he is afraid that he will run faster than a rabbit. This nonsense will come as soon as you open your mouth, and the sycophants will come one after another. Zhuang Zhengde didn't care, just sat on the side and dozed off.

Hu Bulai felt bored, and he didn't speak, just concentrated on driving. After all, I am not familiar with this son, and I am afraid that people will dislike it if I talk too much. Hu Bulai is eight years old in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is no one in the family, and it is one person who feeds the whole family and does not go hungry, and mixes wherever he goes. Although others also dislike Hu Bulai, Hu Bulai has long been trained in copper skin and iron bones, and this face is afraid that the red-clothed cannon can't wear it.

Zhuang Zhengde sat in the carriage and staggered, and after a while, he found that he had come to the door of Yixiang Pavilion again, the old bustard had already stood at the door and waited, seeing that Zhuang Zhengde was coming alone, he diligently pulled and sent it to Xiaoyue's boudoir, Zhuang Zhengde pushed the door in, and saw Xiaoyue girl sitting at the table with her back to her.

Xiao Yue spoke softly, "But Zhuang Gongzi is here?" Sit down, and wait for Xiaoyue to serve Zhuang Gongzi and eat wine. Xiaoyue played a song to Zhuang Gong first. ”

Zhuang Zhengde only felt that his eyes were hazy, and he couldn't open them very much, so he responded to Miss Xiaoyue's words and sat on the chair. It's just that after thinking about it, I don't know why Miss Xiaoyue refuses to turn around and look at herself. Zhuang Zhengde got up and walked around the table and walked towards Miss Xiaoyue.

Miss Xiaoyue dodged, but she refused to turn her head. Zhuang Zhengde stepped forward and gently hugged his waist, his chin rested on Xiaoyue's right shoulder, and gently rubbed his face against his face. Zhuang Zhengde felt that Miss Xiaoyue's skin was still blown, and she was gradually a little lost.

Miss Xiaoyue suddenly turned around at this time, grabbed Zhuang Zhengde's neck tightly with both hands, and shouted, "If Xiaoyue can't survive today, I will also catch a substitute ghost and go on the road together, Zhuang Gongzi, I've been waiting for you for a long time." You can accompany Xiaoyue to the netherworld for a walk. ”

Zhuang Zhengde took a closer look, where is this Xiaoyue girl, it is clearly a bad face, and there is a feeling that it can be broken. I saw that this Xiaoyue girl's face was already pitted, red blood and yellow pus were dripping, the holes in the two eye sockets were just bleeding, and the nose had long been unknown where it went, leaving only two black holes, and the blood basin opened its mouth, and she wanted to swallow Zhuang Zhengde at any time.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Zhengde retreated again and again in fright, only feeling a cleverness, the back of his head was hit three times, and someone seemed to be pulling him next to him. Zhuang Zhengde opened his eyes and found that he had a nightmare. Hu Bulai next to him pulled the reins with one hand and Zhuang Zhengde's arm with the other, "Zhuang Gongzi is having a sweet dream?" This mouth shouted don't don't, and the body is not honest, twisting and pinching. Hehe, I'm afraid I'm dreaming of that woman, huh? ”

Zhuang Zhengde wiped the cold sweat on the top of his head in fright, only to feel a breeze blowing, blowing himself trembling, "It's really fucking scary, this is a sweet dream, it's a nightmare." I dreamed that my friend had turned into the goblin with a big mouth, and was about to open his mouth to eat me. The losing Hu Daochang woke up in time, otherwise she would have succeeded. ”

Hu Bulai laughed when he heard this, "Brother Zhuang, don't be afraid, my Thunderbolt Grand Master is here, who dares to eat you." It's good that you're awake, but I'm offended and slapped you three times. I'm afraid that you will fall into a nightmare and hurt your soul. But it's not a big deal, dreaming, thinking about it day and night. ”

Zhuang Zhengde thanked Hu Bulai, thinking of the dangerous scene just now. I don't know what happened to Miss Xiaoyue now, and I was a little anxious. Old man Bai instructed him when he went out, I was afraid that there was such an evil thing, and today I had this strange dream again. Zhuang Zhengde felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he had no clue.

Hu Bulai patted Zhuang Zhengde on the shoulder, "Brother Zhuang, don't think about it, this Laifu Inn is just ahead, and we will be there soon." Pack up and get ready for the evening. ”

Zhuang Zhengde looked at the sky, and it was estimated that it was already time. After the Taizhou Mansion business failed, he used the pocket watch as a sideshow, and he had no sense of control over this time.

Zhuang Zhengde put up a pergola in his hand and looked ahead, there was an inn in the distance, next to the official road, and it should have not been open for long to see that the building should have been open. It's just that the surroundings are desolate and desolate, and as the predecessors said, there is not a single tea stall nearby.

After a short time when Hu Bulai set up the carriage, he arrived at the door of the Rifle Inn. This Laifu Inn has been haunted so much lately that no one dares to stay there. The store is also not afraid of death, and it does not close its doors.

At the door, Xiao Er was sleeping on the table, but he didn't see where the shopkeeper was.

Zhuang Zhengde got out of the carriage, walked to the sleeping Xiao Er, and patted Xiao Er's back. The shopkeeper stood up in fright, opened his eyes in a daze and saw someone in front of him, and took a few steps back in fright. Zhuang Zhengde saw Xiao Er's mouth with a hara, raised his hand and pointed to the corner of his mouth, Xiao Er hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and wiped his mouth, "The two guest officers are sharp, or do you live in the hotel?" Fang was sleeping soundly, and the guest officer patted it, and the frightened Xiao Er thought it was ...... I thought that the strong man was coming, and he was offended. ”

Hu Bulai got out of the car and handed the reins to Xiao Er, and instructed, "The two of us will stay in the hotel today, prepare two good guest rooms, and send some tea first, but I am thirsty all the way." Zhuang Zhengde didn't bother to take care of Hu Bu, so let's go.

The shopkeeper was not sloppy, pulled the carriage into the backyard, and came to pour some tea for the two. Zhuang Zhengde saw that Xiao Er was about to leave, so he grabbed him, "Little brother, are there other customers in this store?" Is the shopkeeper there? I also asked the little brother to call the shopkeeper to come out and talk about it, and the two of us came here to find him for something. ”

When the shopkeeper heard the question, he paused, "The shopkeeper is here, there are no other customers in this store today, maybe no one will come until the evening." You two drink tea first, and I'll go in and call the shopkeeper. Without waiting for Zhuang Zhengde to ask more, he went inside.

Not long after, a graceful young woman came out of the store, a little bit of posture, average height, slender figure, walking swaying, looking at Hu Bulai's eyes are about to fall out, who would think that there is such a beautiful shopkeeper in the country shop.

The female shopkeeper walked to Zhuang Zhengde, gave the two of them a blessing, and did not twist, and sat opposite Zhuang Zhengde. Zhuang Zhengde looked at the female shopkeeper, he was also stunned, this female shopkeeper is incompatible with this small country shop, and her appearance is not worse than the Qinglou woman in Taizhou Mansion, Zhuang Zhengde felt a little offended, so he stared down at the tea bowl, and secretly kicked Hu Bulai under the table with his left foot.

Hu Bulai came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency who is the shopkeeper of this Rifle Inn?" This female shopkeeper is really beautiful like a flower, with all kinds of charms, and I can't come back to my senses when I see it. ”

As soon as Zhuang Zhengde heard this half-hung man speak, he was so angry that he really wanted to smoke this nonsense, and hurriedly surrendered his hand to the shopkeeper to make amends, "The shopkeeper is offended, my partner doesn't know how to be polite, and there is no door on his mouth to speak. ”

The female shopkeeper covered her mouth and laughed for a long time, which woman in this world doesn't like others to praise her beauty, listening to the teasing of this sharp-beaked monkey with a black face, she is not angry. After all, it has been a while since the inn was opened, and all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes have seen it. However, this son is knowledgeable and courteous, like a scholar, "It's okay, the two guest officials don't need to be polite, the slave's surname is Tong, and the single name is a Qianzi." It has been more than two years since I opened this inn here, and I just said that the two guest officers have something to do with the slave family, but I don't know what advice the two guest officers have? ”

Zhuang Zhengde looked at Hu Bulai and motioned for Hu Bulai to speak first. Hu Bulai was very arrogant and did not shirk, and said to the shopkeeper Tong, "Shopkeeper Tong, the two of us came from the west, and I heard passers-by around here at lunchtime, let's come to the Fu Inn to be haunted at night?" Is there such a thing? If the situation is true, the two of us will help the shopkeeper tonight to eradicate this evil, what does the shopkeeper think? ”

Shopkeeper Tong stared at the two for a long time, but he couldn't see a clue. A scholar, a man who walks the rivers and lakes, how can he still do this job? When the shopkeeper heard the black-faced man speak, he replied, "Hey, there is such a thing, and the slave family thinks that no one knows, but there is no impermeable wall in this world." It's strange to say, our inn has two floors, and every time there is a commotion on the first two floors. But no one was hurt, it was the tinkling in this empty room that no one lived in every night. scared away a lot of customers, and now this business is getting worse day by day. If the two masters really have this ability to drive away evil spirits, the slave family must be rewarded with a lot of money. ”

Zhuang Zhengde heard that the inn of the shopkeeper Tong did have this matter, and thought about it for a long time, "The shopkeeper Tong doesn't have to be polite, the kid's name is Zhuang Zhengde, this Hu Bulai Taoist next to him has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is familiar with Taoism. If you can help when you meet in Pingshui, you will help you, they are all begging for life, and they are not rewarded. ”

When Hu Bulai heard this loser's nonsense, he hurriedly kicked it, "Shopkeeper Tong, don't listen to his nonsense, we have rules for doing things." Let's talk about this honorarium later, if it is not done properly, the two of us will not have the face to face the shopkeeper Tong. ”

The shopkeeper Tong saw these two people coming and going under the table, kicking back and forth, and it was very lively, and he couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering. This scene really stunned Zhuang Zhengde and Hu Bulai, everyone has a love for beauty, which man can refuse the alluring smile of the stunner in this world.

Hu Bulai hurriedly took a sip of tea and suppressed the pounding heartbeat, "I don't know ...... the husband of the shopkeeper Tong"

Zhuang Zhengde didn't wait for Hu Bu to finish, so he quickly interrupted, "This is all a private matter of the shopkeeper Tong, it's too rude for you to ask what you are doing." ”

Hu Bulai rolled his eyes and sat aside to drink tea. Hu Bulai thinks that this Zhuang Zhengde is too serious, and he doesn't know if it's fake or not. How can this man not be lustful, and he is not allowed to ask.

The shopkeeper Tong did not shirk, and said softly, "After my husband joined the army a few years ago, he never came back, and there is no news of life or death. The slave family also had to live, so they sold the house and opened this inn next to the official road. Hard work, who would have thought that this has made such a fuss recently, and if it goes on like this, it will not be able to open the pot. Today's matter is left to the two masters. We must help the slave family solve this scourge. ”

Zhuang Zhengde nodded, this kind of thing is not uncommon in these years. Most of them were either killed in the war, or changed their minds and married someone else. However, it is not easy to jump to conclusions about this kind of thing, and everything should still be thought of as good.

Hu Bulai didn't know what to think on the side, Zhuang Zhengde called Hu Daochang, Hu Bulai came back to his senses, and said, "It's not too early, then the shopkeeper Tong will go and get busy first." The two of us will sit down for a meeting, and we will talk about it in the evening. After half an hour, I also asked the shopkeeper Tong to prepare some food, wine and meat, and after the two of us were full of wine and food, we waited for this evil to appear at night. ”

Shopkeeper Tong got up to greet the two of them, and without saying much, he turned around and went back to the inn.
