Chapter 352: The Storyteller

Yesterday the inn they stayed in was full, but today, there is not a single guest in this inn. When the shopkeeper saw Tao Jinyan, he seemed to be avoiding the plague god, but he was grabbed by Tao Jinyan.

"Boy, where are you going?"

At the door of the inn, the shopkeeper who was grabbed by Tao Jinyan by the collar wanted to cry without tears, "Uncle, we just died here yesterday, everyone feels very unlucky, uncle, you better change the inn, the shop is afraid that it can't accommodate your big Buddha!" ”

Tao Jinyan slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and a pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling, "You can't tolerate it today, you have to tolerate it, who made me like your inn, why, you won't make any money if you give you?" ”

Xiao Er turned his head to look at Tao Jinyan, and saw the slight coldness in the peach blossom eyes, and couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart, so he had to stretch out his hand to block the side face that was stared at by Tao Jinyan, and responded in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, the little one doesn't dare, the uncle just comes with the little one!" ”

After that, Xiao Er led Tao Jinyan upstairs, Tao Jinyan held the "corpse" in his arms, followed by a little boy, the boy was holding the wooden board that Tao Jinyan used to write at the moment, thinking along the way.

It wasn't until the "corpse" was placed on the couch that Tao Jinyan stretched his waist and looked back at the young man, "Okay, you can get out." ”

The young man just put down the wooden card, this wooden card is not heavy, but it is strange to carry it all the time, at this moment, the young man is beating his sore shoulder, while looking at Mr. Jinyan with a stunned face.

"Mr. Jinyan, you haven't told me what the hell is going on!"

Tao Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly, he sat sideways on the chair beside him, picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, took a sip, and put the teacup down with a frown, before saying: "As far as you can see, in this case, your county lord has provoked me, so I naturally want to repay her well, right?" ”

Probably because Tao Jinyan was too careless, the young man found the loopholes in Tao Jinyan's words very quickly, he stared at Tao Jinyan for a long time, and then sat down on the chair next to him, raised his head and nostrils to the sky and did not look at Tao Jinyan.

"That's it, but I remember that Mr. Jin Yan almost died for the Wushuang County Lord, and now the Wushuang County Lord has to do how bad things to make Mr. Jin Yan say that the Wushuang County Lord is treacherous? Sir, have you never experienced love when I was too young? ”

Tao Jinyan looked at the young man in front of her with some surprise, and Taohua'er's eyes narrowed slightly, "I really haven't seen it, you know a lot of things?" ”

At this time, the "corpse" that was placed on the couch sat up suddenly, and before the white cloth fell, the stiff appearance of the body really startled the young man.

It wasn't until the white cloth covered with the "corpse" fell, revealing Chu Nian's iron-blue face behind him, that the young man showed a shocked look, "Mr. Jinyan, you, did you kill the county lord?" ”

Tao Jinyan was also taken aback by Chu Nian, who suddenly sat up, and his peach blossom eyes widened and he couldn't speak, but at this time, the young man rushed towards Chu Nian with a crying voice, "County Lord-I haven't married you yet, why are you so bitter, woo-Woo-County Lord, you wait, I will help you avenge one day sooner or later, woo-"

Chu Nian stiffened his neck and looked down at the young man who was crying bitterly in his arms, and then raised his eyes to look at Tao Jinyan, a pair of watery eyes full of murderous energy.

Seeing her stiff body, Tao Jinyan realized what was going on, and there was a smile on her face: "Hey, hey, Chu Nian, don't be angry...... It's all this kid, this kid is like a dog skin plaster, you can't get rid of it, otherwise you ...... it a long time ago."

Chu Nian said in a hoarse voice: "You get him away first, my leg is numb." ”

The young man who was hugging Chu Nian's slender waist was forcibly peeled off by Tao Jinyan, and at this time, the young man raised his head to look at Chu Nian, and saw that Chu Nian's originally pale face was gradually recovering its blood, so he wiped a handful of tears and said with a stunned face: "The county lord is still alive?" ”

The two eyes in the room fell on the young man in unison, and the young man slowed down for a while, then swallowed his saliva, and said very reluctantly: "It's okay, county lord, the ghost gate is closed, and the king of Yama is also our acquaintance......"

When Chu Nian's murderous gaze turned, the young man hurriedly covered his mouth, and saw that the person on the couch who "returned to the soul" got up stiffly, and his legs were still shaky, she looked up at Tao Jinyan with a blue face, and Tao Jinyan hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"My leg is about to break."

Remembering that Chu Nian has been pretending to be a "corpse" since noon, he hasn't even moved a single hair, and his body has long been stiff, Tao Jinyan seems to be guilty, and he laughs again and again, "I know that I am wrong, and I don't necessarily blame all of me, if you want to blame, blame that fat fish has to wait until the evening to take the bait, and this kid sticks to me alive and dead, I'm afraid that he will tell us about acting......"

Chu Nian was helped by Tao Jinyan and walked a few steps in the room, and when he was better, he sat down on the chair, picked up the tea cup that Tao Jinyan had drunk, and sent the tea to his mouth.

A large cup of tea into her stomach, she felt better, closed her eyes as if to refresh her spirits, and immediately took a deep breath.

The voice finally regained a bit of clarity, "When did you say that fish would come?" ”

Tao Jinyan tied up the young man who was excited to pounce again, stretched out his hand and simply blocked the young man's mouth, and only while holding down the struggling young man with great effort, he looked at Chu Nian meaningfully and said, "Tonight at the latest...... Wait, I'll take the next room down too, and you can hide later, and if you come, I'll give you a signal, and you can pretend to be a 'corpse' again." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Even if you think about it this time." ”

At this time, suddenly a long "grunting" sound came, and the two looked in the direction from which the sound came, and it was the young man's belly.

Chu Nian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and motioned Tao Jinyan to let the young man go, and the young man immediately pounced and hugged Chu Nian's legs, which had finally eased up.

"County Lord, County Lord, it's great that you're still alive, I thought the County Lord was dead......"

Seeing the moistness in the young man's eyes, Chu Nian pursed his red lips, "What's your name?" ”

The young man looked up confused, "Since I was sensible, there was no one in the family, and I didn't know what my surname was, anyway, the neighbors called me Achu." ”

Chu Nian's brows loosened, she gently stroked Ah Chu's back and motioned for him to let go of his legs, then looked at Tao Jinyan, sighed and said, "Go get some food, I've been lying down all day, and I'm a little hungry." ”

Tao Jinyan's eyes flashed slightly, and without saying anything, he got up and prepared to eat.

……

At night, the whole inn fell into a terrifying darkness, and a sturdy figure took advantage of the darkness to get into the back door of the inn, and seemed to be familiar with the road to the second floor.

At this time, Xiao Er was still squatting in the main hall and dozing off, and a strong man who could almost fit two of him walked by, but Xiao Er didn't notice it.

In the only room on the second floor, Tao Jinyan took a sip of the teacup, looked at the closed door with a calm face, and saw that the door was pushed open, the wooden door hit the window on the side, and the smoke and dust billowed out.

A strong man with a full beard came in, and the big eyes of the strong man like Tongling were looking at Tao Jinyan in front of him with great intent, and he seemed to look up and down at the "thin" young man sitting on the chair with disdain, while looking around.

"What kind of noble person are you waiting for? Your baby, what kind of baby? ”

The young man sitting on the chair was calmly bringing a sip of warm tea to his mouth, his ruddy thin lips were slightly hooked, he looked up, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at the strong man in front of him with a smile.

"The adults haven't reported themselves yet."

When the words fell, he put the warm tea in his mouth, stretched his white neck comfortably, rolled the obvious Adam's apple up and down, licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, and looked meaningfully at the strong man in front of him.

The strong man frowned incomprehensibly, and sat down opposite Tao Jinyan with a big thorn, a pair of eyes still firmly nailed to the demonic face opposite, probably because of his fierce appearance, how he looked like he was going to swallow Tao Jinyan.

The young man just calmly picked up the new teacup, immediately hooked the corners of his lips slightly, poured another teacup full, and then gently placed it in front of the strong man, the whole process was extremely slow, but it seemed unusually calm.

The strong man's eyes fell on the tea cup in front of him, and he finally spoke, "You Central Plains people, it's trouble." ”

Tao Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly laughed out loud, and after a while, he stopped laughing until every beard on the strong man's face was written with anger, and looked at the strong man meaningfully.

"Your Excellency is a barbarian?"

The strong man narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, which was considered a default.

Tao Jinyan smiled, "I thought it would be Xichu or ...... Unexpectedly, the barbarians' movements were even faster than those of Xi Chu. ”

The strong man looked down at Tao Jinyan slightly, and the two thick and long brows on the big ink-colored eyes seemed to move.

"The barbarians' movements have always been very fast, but our relationship with Da Liang is not as good as that of Xichu, and the speed of getting the news is even slower."

The strong man lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "I really don't understand the hypocrisy between you Han people, if it were us, we would never engage in any false friendship, we clearly want to encroach on each other's territory, to put it bluntly, why do you need to cheat?" ”

Tao smiled and didn't answer, he raised his eyes to look at the strong man, "What did you say?" Do you want to make a deal with me today? ”

The strong man glanced at Tao Jinyan, turned around and saw that there was no "corpse" in the room that he saw during the day, he looked at Tao Jinyan with a vigilant face: "What do you want?" ”

Hearing this, Tao Jinyan raised his eyes to look at the strong man, picked up the teacup, and put it down again, "I don't want anything, that is, three hundred taels of silver, plus the 'corpse' that was originally taken away by you." ”

The strong man pondered for a while, raised his eyes, and looked at Tao Jinyan inquiringly, "I can understand three hundred taels, but why do you want that corpse?" Obviously, the one you want to give me is more useful than that, isn't it? ”

Seeing the suspicion flickering in those Tongling-like eyes, Tao Jinyan chuckled, "That's it, if the adults don't dislike it, how about listening to a story?" After listening to it, you will understand why I betrayed Chu Nian and why I want you more. ”

He raised his eyes, and the peach blossom eyes flashed with a little cunning.
