Chapter Twenty-Six: A Moment of Horror

"Crunch, squeak,"

In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the sound of the doors and windows shaking and slapping, looking at the doors and windows that opened and closed due to the strong wind, I shook my head, laughing at myself that I was really tired these days, and even forgot to close the doors and windows, so I fell asleep.

I held the two wooden windows with both hands, and the cold wind blew like this, and I suddenly felt no sleep, so I was not in a hurry to sleep, so I stood at the window and began to look at the scenery in the distance.

"It's remote, but the view is really nice." Looking at the bright moon in the sky with half of my body hiding in the clouds, and then at the tall trees that were covered with silver wedding dresses by the moonlight, I was unconsciously in a good mood, and I couldn't help but want to chant a few of Li Bai's masterpieces.

"Huh." The wind outside was blowing stronger and stronger, and I felt the chill hit people, so I was about to close the window and continue to sleep, but I found that outside the inn, in the small courtyard, a thin figure was shaking.

By the meager moonlight, I took a closer look and found that it was the shopkeeper. At this moment, he was stepping on a large whetstone, holding a kitchen knife in both hands, and rubbing it vigorously.

"What is he sharpening his knife in the middle of the night?" Seeing the shopkeeper walk into the inn with a polished silver kitchen knife, I was full of doubts, so I tiptoed to the staircase, squatted down, and stared downstairs through the guardrail on the staircase to see carefully.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper took a kitchen knife, walked into the inn, and strode towards the room that the shopkeeper had entered before, but his face was not very good-looking, cold and cold, and there was no emotion in the corners of his eyes.

"Could it be that the pent-up emotions have exploded, and they plan to kill the shopkeeper?" While I was thinking, Xiao Er had already pushed open the door and walked into the shopkeeper's room, and then closed the door again.

Curiosity drove me quickly towards the shopkeeper's room downstairs, because the doors of this inn were all made of ancient wooden paste, so I cautiously crouched down in the doorway, put my finger into the paper, and poked a small hole in it, so that I could observe the situation inside.

"Ah" I couldn't help but almost exclaimed, just when I looked into the room, I found that the shopkeeper was like a fierce god, and the head of the shopkeeper was cut off with a knife, and suddenly blood splashed, dyeing most of Xiao Er's body into blood red, and on the side, the shopkeeper's mother-in-law and the beautiful daughter had already fallen in a pool of blood, and there was no movement.

"Hahahaha, let you not treat me as a human being, now I will break you into thousands of pieces, Ming'er will make snacks for those guest officers, don't you always let me treat the guests well, now are you satisfied, happy? I'll make a hearty meat feast for them to taste, hahahaha. The shopkeeper laughed wildly, while raising the knife in his hand, dancing the shopkeeper's body, the blood suddenly flew down like rain, making people shudder. Looking at the inhuman body of the shopkeeper, I felt that my stomach was already churning, and I was almost vomiting up what I had eaten for dinner.

"Oh, yes, haha." Xiao Er stopped all his movements violently, as if he suddenly remembered something important, and showed a sudden realization expression, and then twisted his face again, revealing a crazy smile, "And the little student in yellow just now, who is white and tender, but why don't you look at me squarely?" I hate you pretentious people the most, didn't I tell you, you people, you people who don't live long, the end will be miserable, right, hehehehe"

Suddenly, the shopkeeper turned his head and smiled playfully in my direction. I was shocked, and I almost suffocated when I looked at his blood-stained face. But soon, he was dancing the kitchen knife on the shopkeeper again, causing blood and internal organs to splash everywhere again.

"He's going to work against me?"

My first reaction was stunned, I didn't expect that the second child in this shop was so resentful, and the top priority was to get in touch with Liu Yanming and them to discuss a good countermeasure. After all, he can do whatever he wants, and I'm not so indulgent yet.

"Why is Taobao King's room lit?" I don't want to alarm the shopkeeper yet, for fear that he will make drastic actions when he finds out, so I plan to go to Taobao King's room first, and then gather everyone together, so that I can deal with any situation calmly. However, two-thirds of the way up the stairs, I found that Taobao King's room was actually lit, and there were a few voices of discussion from time to time, and vaguely, they seemed to mention my name.

"What the hell is going on?" The feeling of uneasiness spread all over my body, and I was thrilled in my heart, and I didn't directly push open the door of the Taobao King, but cut a small hole in the paste paper at the door, and bent down to see what they were doing.

At this time, Taobao King and You Liang were gathering next to an oil lamp, with evil faces on their faces.

You Liang chuckled: "Let him be disobedient and almost kill Lao Tzu a few times, taking advantage of this barren mountain and wilderness, it is not a big problem to die one more." Hey. ”

"Yes, how can you let the superfluous people know about the treasure hole? Clean, when it's time to start, it's the rule of our industry. It is estimated that the fool is still sleeping, just touching the dark, a knife down, the hidden danger will be solved, very simple, from now on the treasure hole will completely belong to us, haha. Taobao King nodded.

"Hmph, Ye hesitated, it's a pity, the remaining 50,000 yuan, you don't have the life to take it, Lao Tzu's money, it's not something you can take if you want to." After that, You Liang and Taobao Wang Qi picked up the two kitchen knives on the table and walked towards the door.

"They're going to kill me too? Could it be because I'm afraid that I'll leak the location of the ancient tomb, it's really unpredictable. ”

I felt a chill in my heart, and the endless despair made me almost want to burst, I think I was still too immature, sure enough, people's hearts were separated from the belly, and other people's words really couldn't be believed, but I didn't expect their greed to finally burst out at this moment, it seems that they had a premeditated plan early on. I had a mixed thought, and when I turned around, I slipped into my room, slammed the door, and crouched myself under the window farthest from the door.

Soon, the door next door opened, and the footsteps gradually approached my door, and the feeling of waiting for death to approach step by step made me desperate, and I shrank back in fear, but I was already next to the side, and could not move back any further, so I could only raise my head, gasp, and stare at the position of the door.

In the end, two knocks sounded, I knew that the time was finally coming, after the knock, there was silence for a moment, and then the voice of the Taobao King sounded: "Brother Hesitation, are you sleeping?" Hurry up and open the door, You Liang and I can't sleep, I want to come over and chat with you, you also know, You Cheng died, You Liang's only brother died, he didn't feel very well, you are a college graduate, educated, give a good enlightenment. ”

Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Taobao King said again: "You Liang, come on, I don't think Brother Wandering is a ruthless person. ”

"I know you didn't sleep, I'm really sad, help me."

You Liang obviously wanted to take advantage of my soft-hearted weakness to seduce me, but at this time, I already knew their ferocious purpose, how could I be fooled? So I still didn't open my mouth and pretended to be sleeping.

"Little brother, why don't you open the door? Why don't you help your sad friend? Come on, come on, I heard that you are from a big city outside, can you tell me about the difference between big cities? I heard that there is an iron shell that can fly in the big city, is this true? ”

As I stared intently at the door, I heard a question from my bed. By the moonlight, I realized that at some point, the shopkeeper who had just killed the shopkeeper was sitting on my bedside, but at the moment he was clean and there was no blood left on his face.

"You, you, don't come here, I saw you kill the shopkeeper's family of three, and now you want to take my life."

It may be that I put all my attention on the betrayal of You Liang and Taobao King before, so I didn't find out that the shopkeeper had already touched my room, which gave him a chance to take advantage of it, damn it, I secretly scolded myself in my heart.

"Don't be stupid, little brother, the shopkeeper promised to marry his daughter to me, how can I be willing to kill them, and I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Come on, tell me how nice it is outside, I really want to get out of this place. ”

The shopkeeper was full of smiles, nodded and bent over, completely unharmed. But when he bent over, I saw that his hands were holding a shiny kitchen knife, and the tip of the kitchen knife was dripping with residual blood.

"You have a knife in your hand, and there is blood on the knife, who are you trying to fool?" I yelled angrily, picked up the stool next to me and threw it at him.

"Hahaha, since you found out, then obediently suffer death, I won't be too ruthless, just three knives, and the rest, I will leave it to your good friend, go to death."

The disguise was revealed, and the shopkeeper suddenly showed an evil appearance, his eyes widened, he dodged the chair, and rushed towards me with a crazy smile.

"Bang." He had a knife in his hand, and I was unarmed. My first instinct was to run, I jumped backwards, regardless of the fact that it was the second floor, I jumped from the window, and when I landed, I played extraordinarily, and instantly made a donkey rolling motion, unloading the momentum, and then stood up, and ran towards the entrance of the courtyard.

When I just rushed to the door, I found that Liu Yanming rushed over from outside the door, blocked the door, looked at me with a curious face, and asked: "Ye Hesitation, why are you so nervous, your face is full of sweat, come, I'll wipe it for you." ”

"Sister Liu, the three of them want to kill me, you hurry up and escape here with me, maybe you are their next target, the situation is urgent, I'll talk to you on the way." I shouted, and I was about to rush out the door.

"Oh, well, I'm waiting for you right here." Liu Yanming nodded, without the slightest nervous look.

"Wait for me?" I looked at her puzzled.

"Because I want to eat meat buns too, hehehehe." Liu Yanming, who was still upright, suddenly became evil, looked at me with a sly smile, pulled out a kitchen knife in his hand, and shook his head at me, "Actually, I have long seen that you are unhappy, and you dare to splash me with filth, take advantage of me, I have long wanted to kill you to relieve the hatred in my heart, I said you would die." ”

"Why? I don't believe you're such a person. ”

"Haha, now it's up to you how you escape." When I was desperate, You Liang's crazy smile came from behind me, and he, the shopkeeper and Taobao Wang each held a kitchen knife in their hands, and slowly sandwiched it towards me
