Chapter 45—The Trial of the Desert (4)

At the same time, the people waiting for the news on the shore of Layue Lake were sitting leisurely by the lake and eating lunch. Ten miles of different days in the desert, the sky is clear on the shore of Layue Lake, only the breeze blows the surface of the lake, and the water is sparkling. But standing on a high place and looking in the direction of the Tumen Inn, he was completely shrouded in the yellow sand blowing by the strong wind.

When the president had eaten his fill, he fell back and lay down on the yellow sand, which was warmed by the sun, and sighed, "Oh! I haven't been so leisurely in a long time!"

Chi Muyan walked over, glanced down at him, and said with a smile: "I see that you have always been very leisurely, and you have been leisurely enough to take the children down the mountain to drink." ”

The chairman glanced at him disdainfully, and simply closed his eyes, "Hmph! I've been holding back on Spirit Sword Mountain for five years, and I'm not allowed to go down the mountain to drink some wine?"

Chi Muyan tilted his head, "I don't have a problem with you even if you soak in the wine vat every day, the problem is that you actually teach a fourteen-year-old girl to drink, this is not appropriate, right?"

The president opened one eye and laughed quietly: "That's not what I taught, she was originally the reincarnation of Luo Sakura, didn't she drink from her bones?"

Chi Muyan hurriedly raised his head and glanced around, and found that no one else heard the president's words, frowning and looking at the president, but the president deliberately pulled the topic elsewhere, "By the way, why do you have to let Chi Mudie disguise herself as a blind girl?

Ji Muyan couldn't help it, so she sighed and sat beside him, and pointed to her eyes, "Fluttershy's eyes are exactly the same as mine, and the proprietress of the Tumen Inn has already noticed that I am spying on her, so if she notices that a few days after I left, another person similar to me appeared, it will inevitably become suspicious again, and it will be more beneficial for Fluttershy to pretend to be a blind girl, which will also be more conducive to her skills." ”

The president sat up puzzled, "Skills?"

Chi Muyan looked at him, shook his head and sighed: "Didn't you think about how she got her back when you left her alone in the mountains during all these years of training?"

The president shook his head blankly, "I just thought she remembered the way...... Are you trying to say that she got it back by hearing?"

When Chi Muyan talked about her sister, a doting smile appeared on her face again, and her eyes drifted into the distance, "Fluttershy didn't know the way since she was a child, and even got lost in the main city of Phantom Wing City, and couldn't tell the way, but she was extremely sensitive to sound since she was a child, and every time she ran out to play, she would make a note of the sounds she heard along the way, so she found her way home, and once she almost ran out of the city with someone because she misheard the voice of a trader, but fortunately she was recognized by the guards guarding the city, so she was sent back." ”

After listening to him, the president looked at him in surprise, "Why did you change your face when you talked about your sister?"

Chi Muyan looked back at him and put on a helpless expression, "When I talk about you, you will also change your face." ”

The president was so angry that he was speechless, he stood up and walked to other places to continue to lie down and sleep, Chi Muyan also stood up and patted the sand on his body, and glanced at the Tumen Inn with a slightly worried face, but he was still silent.

After nightfall, the wind near the Tumen Inn still did not stop carrying the sand and gravel against the towering and thick windbreak wall, while the inn and shops surrounded by the middle were quiet, due to the sandstorm, there were no past merchants who could enter here again, so they also closed their shops early and closed for repairs.

In the lobby of the inn, there are only a few merchants who stay here to sit there to taste wine and talk about things, the proprietress greeted them for a while, when the night is almost deep, there are still a few drunks who are still not happy, and they are still noisy in the lobby, the proprietress has to let the guy take the soundproof screen, and circle around them, so as not to disturb the other guests to rest, and then she goes upstairs to the room to rest.

When the proprietress 's footsteps sounded on the wooden stairs, Chi Mudie immediately gestured to Tsukimi, indicating that the proprietress had gone upstairs, and after Tsukimi nodded slightly, she stepped back, trying to adjust her state so that her heartbeat and breathing would not affect her hearing.

Chi Mudie closed her eyes and listened carefully, the proprietress stepped on the stairs step by step, walked through the corridor to the door of her room, but paused in front of the door for a while, from the slight friction of the clothes on her body, Chi Mudie speculated that she seemed to be half-squatting at the door, and then pushed the door in.

The moment the proprietress entered the door, her footsteps seemed to disappear suddenly, Ji Mudie frowned suspiciously, and listened carefully for a while before re-capturing the inaudible sound that seemed to be stepping on a thick layer of cotton in the heartbeat of herself and Tsukimi.

The proprietress seemed to be pacing back and forth in the house, and after pacing a few times, she seemed to move a larger ornament, and then pushed open a wooden door in the house and walked in.

Chi Mudie heard the proprietress footsteps getting farther and farther away, and finally mixed with the storm outside the high wall, and could no longer distinguish it, so Chi Mudie opened her eyes and whispered to Tsukimi: "There must be a dark grid in the proprietress that leads to the outside of the high wall, she seems to have gone out of that dark compartment, and there seems to be a soundproof layer under the floor of her room, I almost couldn't hear it after she entered the house." ”

Yuejian thought slightly after hearing this, "Sure enough, as Chi Muyan expected, the organ is really in the proprietress room, so now it's still according to our original plan, you first let the rabbit king pretend to run out, open the door and take me out in stealth, I'll go upstairs to check the boss's room first, you go out to look for it later, and open the door by the way to let me come back." ”

Chi Mudie nodded, and suddenly pulled Yuejian and whispered: "There must be some mechanism at the door of the boss's room to prevent outsiders from entering, I just heard her seem to squat in front of the door before entering." ”

Yuejian nodded and chuckled when she heard this, and then quietly incognito, and Chi Mudie summoned the Pink Rabbit King and asked it to open the door and sneak out. The Pink Rabbit King also obediently moved to the door, rubbed the door latch with his nose, and slipped out, and the invisible Tsukimi also followed the Pink Rabbit King out of the door, and found that the guys in the lobby were chatting with several people, and they didn't notice this side at all. So Tsukimi took the opportunity to slow down, quickly went up to the second floor, quickly flashed to the door of the proprietress room, and checked in detail in front of the door, and found that the proprietress had indeed inserted a very thin blue silk thread-like object in the crack of the door. Tsukimi squatted down to take a closer look, and found that it was actually a dragon whisker that was dyed with a blue powder that could not be washed off, and it was dry, even if someone could gently take it out without breaking, it would definitely be infected by the color on it. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the proprietress, Tsukimi first dispelled the idea of entering the house, and leaned on the door and looked left and right through the crack in the door.

From the crack in the door, it seems to be almost the same as the room furnishings of the proprietress described by Chi Muyan, except that there is an extra layer of carpet made of unknown animal skins on the ground, and the position of the bookcase has also been moved a little. There was no lighting in the house, and the little moonlight that came in from the sandstorm outside the window flickered and dimmed, and the moon could only vaguely see that there was indeed an outline that seemed to be a secret door in the shadow of the bookcase, and just as she continued to look inside, the guy downstairs suddenly asked a question.

"Huh, why did you open the door to the sister's room that came today?"

Yuejian was shocked, and hurriedly went downstairs quietly, and saw that the guys who were bragging together also looked over here, and one of them got up and walked over to check.

At this moment, Chi Mudie also groped out of the house with her eyes closed, looking anxious, and shouted in a low voice: "Tutu! Tutu! Where have you run again?"

The guy who came over was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly walked over to support her, and asked with concern: "Bingyue girl, why did you come out alone?"

Chi Mudie smiled at the guy first, and then frowned: "My sister is not feeling well, so she fell asleep first, but my rabbit doesn't know where to run, have you seen it?"

The guy glanced around, and said embarrassedly: "We just bragged too much, and we really didn't pay attention, but the doors of these places are closed, and it must not be able to escape, so we will help you find it together." ”

After the guy finished speaking, he glanced into their room again, only to hear a cough from the house, and then Yuejian came out of the house sleepily, and when he saw Chi Mudie who was being supported by the guy, he stepped forward and scolded softly: "Bingyue, why did you run out by yourself?"

Chi Mudie looked aggrieved, "It's the rabbit that sneaked out again, I'm afraid it ran away again!"

Yuejian helped her, and said to a few guys with an anxious look: "This rabbit in Bingyue is naughty and delicious, I'm afraid it sneaked into your kitchen to steal it again, and I have to find it quickly, otherwise I'm afraid it will eat a lot of your fruits and vegetables." ”

After hearing this, a few guys hurriedly split up to look for it, and Yuejian also helped Chi Mudie to follow them all the way, secretly observing the layout and structure of the inn, and after looking for a while, he heard a guy shouting in the underground warehouse: "Found it!

Hearing the shout, everyone who was looking for them on the first floor hurriedly followed the wooden stairs in the kitchen to the underground warehouse, and saw the Pink Rabbit King shrinking in the corner, still biting half of the leftover pumpkin in his mouth, obviously startled by the strange guy.

At this time, Yuejian and Chi Mudie also walked down, and the Pink Rabbit King saw them, jumped over happily, rubbed Chi Mudie's body with a rabbit head, Chi Mudie also held its head, patted it gently, and whispered to blame: "Bad Bunny, running around again, are you stealing other people's things again?"

The guys also liked the sisters and the round pink rabbit king, so they stepped forward and stroked the pink rabbit king, "It's okay, Bingyue girl, it's just a pumpkin, I'm afraid it's a tired journey these days, it's hungry, we just forgot to prepare some food for it, so it can only come out to find food by itself." ”

Chi Mudie listened to the guy's words, and also slapped his forehead, and exclaimed, "Yes, I forgot to feed it today!"

The guys laughed when they saw her playful and cute movements, and the Pink Rabbit King also took the opportunity to finish the remaining half of the pumpkin and burp at her feet.

The guys laughed and sent the two sisters and the rabbit back to the room, and after closing the door, Chi Mudie heard the guys gradually walking away, so he opened his eyes and leaned over to look at the Pink Rabbit King, while helping it wipe off the pumpkin juice in his mouth, and whispered curiously to the Pink Rabbit King: "I just let you run out and make trouble, I didn't expect you to really steal and eat other people's pumpkins." I don't know what you like to eat, but I'll ask Canglan again when I get back. ”

Hearing her talk about Canglan, Yuejian suddenly became interested, and just wanted to lean over and ask something, but saw that her face suddenly changed, and she made a silent gesture to Yuejian, pointed upwards again, and told Yuejian with her mouth, "The boss lady is back." ”
