Wu Zhiyuan vaguely understood Xue'er's intentions for him in his heart, but deep down in his heart, he could never accept the combination of this unjust soul who was killed by his ancestors a hundred years ago and a neighbor of the same age as himself.

Although Xue'er complained with a stern look, she was undoubtedly jealous of Sheng Wanxiang, Wu Zhiyuan understood in his heart, and could only apologize: "I'm sorry, it's me who is in a hurry, you ...... Are you okay? ”

Xue'er stared at Wu Zhiyuan for a moment, and sighed: "Sheng Wanxiang has always been with your parents, and your parents love her as a daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry." ”

Wu Zhiyuan saw Xue'er answer like this, and even concluded that she was jealous for Sheng Wanxiang, so he pretended not to know, let go of the hand holding Xue'er's shoulder, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "It's already dark, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Come with me to the inn and settle down first, I'll ask the innkeeper to prepare something to eat for you, and introduce you to two friends by the way. ”

The two walked side by side in the direction of the Xilai Inn, this long street is straight and neat, belonging to a typical northern architectural style, the overall rigorous, and the southern patchwork, stretching and crooked water town atmosphere is completely different, so Wu Zhiyuan is not worried about not being familiar with the road and not returning to the inn.

The two walked along the long street in the direction of the Xilai Inn, and they didn't know how long they walked, the moon had disappeared in the clouds, and the sky was gradually filled with thick fog.

Cher walked with sore legs and stopped to rest. Wu Zhiyuan realized that something seemed to be wrong, remembering that he hadn't walked long from the Xilai Inn to the old man's house, and it seemed that he hadn't traveled such a long distance. How come you have not been to the inn for so long now?

Wu Zhiyuan stood in the middle of the long street, looking forward through the fog, and vaguely he seemed to see a flag raised not far in front of him, and there were four big characters written on the flag - "Xilai Inn".

"It's coming, it's ahead." Wu Zhiyuan walked to Xue'er, who was sitting on the steps on the side of the road, and comforted her.

Xue'er raised her head and looked at Wu Zhiyuan affectionately, biting her lower lip and standing up, Wu Zhiyuan saw that she was tired, hesitated for a moment, and still stepped forward to hold her arm.

Wu Zhiyuan hugged Xue'er, and the two walked away step by step, and when it was about time to touch the tea, Xue'er asked impatiently, "Haven't you arrived yet?" ”

This question immediately reminded Wu Zhiyuan, he looked up and looked forward, the flag that said "Xilai Inn" was still in front, and the two of them had walked for so long, and the distance between them and the flag did not seem to have shortened at all.

Xue'er was extremely tired, and when she saw Wu Zhiyuan standing in place and didn't leave, she simply sat on the ground.

Wu Zhiyuan has experienced too many strange things, and now when he encounters this situation, the first thing he thinks of is to calm down, and with this in mind, he also sat down on the spot and began to smooth out the whole process.

At the beginning of the period, the town was rumored to be haunted, according to the pawnshop shopkeeper, several people had been scared to death by female ghosts, and then he went to the strange old man's house to sell yellow paper and other magic weapons in order to catch ghosts, but he was driven out for unknown reasons, and met Xue'er on the way back to the inn, and then encountered the current situation.

It doesn't seem to have encountered anything contrary to common sense along the way, the only thing that Wu Zhiyuan didn't expect was to see Xue'er here, could it be that the problem was Xue'er? Or, is she really a female ghost?

Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan subconsciously clenched the peachwood sword in his hand, and at the same time slowly turned his head to look at Xue'er, only to see that she was constantly rubbing her legs at this time, looking tired, and did not notice the change in the expression on Wu Zhiyuan's face.

"That's not right." Wu Zhiyuan thought to himself, "I saw her shadow with my own eyes, so she is definitely not a ghost." ”

But what is the reason why the two of them are trapped in this long straight street at this time? Was it just because of the sudden fog?

Just when Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, he suddenly heard Xue'er pointing forward happily and shouting, "Look, there is a house in front of you that is still lit!" ”

Wu Zhiyuan looked up and saw that all the houses had no electric lights at this time, and it was pitch black, except for a door not far in front of him, with two lanterns lit on both sides, which were very conspicuous, and one of the lanterns was holding a flag next to it, and the flag was drooping, and it said "Xilai Inn"!

"Arrived?" Wu Zhiyuan fixed his eyes and saw that this was indeed the Xilai Inn, but it was so possible, he had looked forward just now, and the inn seemed to be still far away, why did he stand still now, but the inn was close in front of him?

"Let's go, let's get in." Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly picked up Xue'er and walked to the door of the inn with her.

The door of the inn was closed, and Wu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and was about to knock on the door, but before his hand touched the door, the door opened by itself.

This inn is also a restaurant on the first floor and a accommodation layout on the second floor, so as soon as Wu Zhiyuan entered the door, he saw that the tables and chairs on the first floor had been cleaned up, and the chairs were upside down on the table, there was no one inside, and the guy might have gone to sleep, but there was an oil lamp on each of the two tables, one south and one north, so the light inside was very bright.

Wu Zhiyuan saw that there was no one, so he didn't make a sound, and walked straight to the second floor with Xue'er.

Coming to the door of his room, Wu Zhiyuan planned to let Xue'er rest in the room, he went next door to wake up Moon Shadow Fuxian and Li Xueying, and the four of them discussed the next step together, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was not appropriate, if Moon Shadow Fuxian and Li Xueying saw Xue'er in his room, the two would definitely want to go elsewhere, and even if they had ten mouths, they would not be able to tell clearly, so it was better to take Xue'er directly to find her two, and it would be convenient to explain in person.

With this in mind, Wu Zhiyuan pulled Xue'er's sleeve and went straight to the door of the next room, he paused, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then reached out to knock on the door, but before his hand touched the door, the door opened by itself.

Wu Zhiyuan's heart froze, it was impossible for Moon Shadow Fuxian and Li Xueying not to intervene before going to sleep, how could this door open automatically? Did something happen to the two?

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly rushed into the room, there was no light in the room, the teacups on the table were upside down in the saucer, and they were very calm, Wu Zhiyuan walked to the bed, stretched out his hand to touch the bed, and found that there was no one on the bed, the quilt was neatly folded and placed on one end, as if no one had ever been lying here.

What's going on? Where did they go? Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, could it be that after he left quietly, Moon Shadow Fuxian and Li Xueying found that he was missing, and they also went out to look for him?

While thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly heard Xue'er's voice outside the door: "Wu Zhiyuan, come and see!" ”

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly rushed to the door of the room, only to see that Xue'er had pushed open all the doors in the corridor, she was standing at the end of the corridor, pointing to a room at the end and saying, "There is no one in all the rooms here!" ”
