Chapter 42: The Crazy Shopkeeper
The location of the Autumn Moon Inn, at the border of Yong'an City, is not prosperous, but there are many people who come and go. I think that Gu Changqing and Yan Mu traveled thousands of miles, and the first night they arrived in Yong'an City was spent there, and it was also at that chance that they met Xie Ling.
At that time, he and Yan Mu also had doubts when they first arrived at the inn, people who opened the door to do business came and went, and it was normal to order some incense in order to go to some peculiar smells. But the first time I went, I inexplicably felt that the taste of that inn was very different, the fragrance was difficult to smell, weird and indescribable, but very unique.
At that time, I didn't think much about it, but now the aroma is so similar to the one that Li Hongsheng has retained, no matter what the reason is, you have to go for a trip.
Early the next morning, Gu Changqing called Jiancheng to bring the horse, and just as he was about to go up, he heard Xie Ling shouting and waiting to run over.
"I'll go too." She looked at him expectantly.
Gu Changqing didn't want to take others there, there were too many people and the goal was too big, he was looking for clues, not going out to play. Jiancheng also said that he wanted to go, but he refused.
Xie Ling also made such a request now, and he shook his head directly, "It's inconvenient for them to know you." ”
Xie Ling whispered something in Jiancheng's ear, and then turned his gaze to Gu Changqing and muttered, "They know me, but they will let down their guard when they know me, I will go back to see them, in order to thank them." ”
"You take me there, in case you can see something you can't see, people, secrets."
"If you don't take me, it's a loss."
Gu Changqing finally nodded in compromise, he was not moved by Xie Ling, but seeing that Jiancheng had already brought the horse over, it would be a bit too unkind to refuse at this time.
"Let's go."
Xie Ling said happily, "Come on, Master Gu." ”
Xie Ling has been used to being wild outside since he was a child, although he is often hungry, he has also seen a lot of things with his master in the north and south, although he can't ride a horse as fast and steady as Gu Changqing, but he can still run on a horse.
When she started walking, Gu Changqing still disliked her for riding slowly, but later she was waiting for her to slow down intentionally or unintentionally along the way.
After spending most of the day, the two of them arrived in the small town, ate something and led the horse to the Qiuyue Inn.
Along the way, there are a lot of pedestrians in the dust, a lot of horse teams carrying all kinds of goods here to stop here and prepare to go to more inland places, and there are many Dayan merchants holding customs clearance documents, and the surging scenery of people can't help but admire.
However, Gu Changqing didn't have the heart to look at this, when he first came, Yan Mu was still a good person, although he was a little noisy, but if it wasn't for his boredom, he didn't know how difficult this journey would be.
I didn't feel like this in the county government, but when I arrived in this strange place, I felt more and more sad.
"What's wrong with you?" Xie Ling asked when he saw him looking at the horses stunned.
"It's fine." He looked not far away and said, "I'm just thinking about how deep the water at the Autumn Moon Inn will be." ”
Xie Ling pursed his lips, knowing that what he said was not the truth at all, but he didn't continue to ask, everyone had something they didn't want to say, and always forcing them to ask would only cause boredom to others.
"Where are you going tonight?" Xie Ling pointed in the direction of the Autumn Moon Inn and said.
Gu Changqing nodded, "Well, I'll live there tonight." ”
The two of them led their horses through the block, and from time to time they saw the banners of the Autumn Moon Inn fluttering.
He stopped, looked at the people coming in and out, and just wanted to figure out the greasy inside as soon as possible, why did Li Hongsheng leave the name of the Qiuyue Inn in such an important clue, what did he not expect, whether this matter had anything to do with Liu E, and whether she would also be here.
"Let's go, even if it's hell, I'll have to break through."
Xie Ling trotted over, and when he arrived at the door of the inn, he handed the horse rope to Xiao Er in the stable, and he would take good care of it.
Xie Ling glanced at it and felt that he was born and asked casually, "Are you new here?" ”
Xiao Er replied with a smile, "Guest officer, you have good eyesight, the little one has only been here for two days." ”
Xie Ling nodded and walked towards the door of the inn.
At this time, it was a meal, and it was overcrowded, and although the aroma of wine and coriander was very strong, they still smelled the fragrance as soon as they entered.
Xie Ling glanced at Gu Changqing, and seeing that he didn't make any moves, he grabbed a shopkeeper in the crowd, grabbed him and said, "We want to stay in the store, two good rooms." ”
The shopkeeper was originally facing away from her, but when she pulled her, he immediately turned around, but when he looked at Xie Ling for the first time, he took a few steps back, and then said with a stutter, "You, you, why are you here?" ”
Xie Ling looked at him puzzled, and said angrily, "Why can't I come, I'm here to stay in the hotel, two rooms with a small number, hurry up." ”
Xie Ling is also very bold when he is horizontal.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to look at her, he ran out with his head down, and at this time, the shopkeeper also noticed that something was wrong on this side, so he walked over and asked in a loud voice, "What happened?" ”
When Xie Ling was still there, although the two of them had also been angry, after all, they came this time to do something, so they walked over flatteringly, "It's me who is in charge." ”
As soon as my words landed, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground.
"You, you, you, you, why are you here?"
Even Xie Ling, who didn't care, felt that something was wrong at this time, didn't she just come to stay at a hotel, why were they so surprised?
She was excited to beat a few people at that time, but there are more people who come and go here every day than her, and it is difficult to see one who is afraid of this, and the business will not be done.
"What's the matter, shopkeeper." As he spoke, Xie Ling was about to get up and step forward to help him, but the shopkeeper saw her as if he had seen a ghost, with his hands behind him, and his legs couldn't stop kicking back and retreating.
Xie Ling glanced at Gu Changqing in the crowd incredulously, he nodded, meaning to ask her to continue, there must be some secret in this shop.
Xie Ling got the instructions, so he simply squatted down, and took advantage of the inconvenience of the shopkeeper to directly grab his arm and help him up.
The shopkeeper was already punching and kicking in fear, and at this time, many people who were eating were already curiously gathered around.
The shopkeeper watched the people around him squeeze up, hugged himself even more fearfully, and hid his head tightly between his legs.
The shopkeeper just now has been hiding behind everyone and didn't dare to come out, but he just glanced at the shopkeeper twice, and when he looked at him like this, he hid even more in fear.
There were only two shopkeepers who didn't know why, they were newcomers, they didn't know Xie Ling, and they didn't know why the shopkeeper suddenly became like this.
The two people stepped forward to pull the shopkeeper, but they didn't expect that he was now collapsed, and no one could get close, and he was still babbling a bunch of nonsense that others couldn't understand.
"There are ghosts, there are ghosts, don't touch me, get out of the way."
"Fuck off, don't come here."
"No, I don't want to die, let me go."
The two men looked at each other, and neither of them was sure of their mind. Finally, an elderly guest stood up and said that he might have fallen into an evil spirit, and one of them picked him up and took him out to find someone to see, and the inn finally fell silent.
Xie Ling looked at the rest of the person, "What, can I still live." ”
The man nodded, "Well, guest officer, two upper rooms, this is for you?" ”
