Well?

Time.

The sudden sound made Yan Chong and the others subconsciously look in the direction of the lobby counter.

Because.

The person who spoke was the middle-aged shopkeeper lying in a rocking chair on the counter.

“...... Ho ho, that's interesting, that's so interesting, do you know who you're talking to?"

Yan Chong, who was the first to react, couldn't help but show a sinister smile, and the eyes that stared at the middle-aged shopkeeper in the counter all revealed Sen Ran's killing intent.

Who is he?

He is the notorious Yan Chong.

Although he is a thief.

But none of the people who ever died at his hands knew how much it was.

There are warrior monks who flaunt justice and meddle in their affairs, and there are also ordinary people who don't know each other.

In other words.

His hands were stained with the blood of countless people.

But he has been able to live safely until now.

Thus.

If he didn't have two brushes, would Yan Chong be able to get away with it until now?

He is a very vindictive person.

Some time ago.

He had his eye on a good furnace.

As a result, when he was about to succeed, he was ruined.

And the people who destroyed it were a man and a woman upstairs.

A disciple from the Imperial Sword Gate.

The list of men is clear.

The woman's name is Qi Fei.

Each other is one of the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation of the Edgeworth.

There used to be a time when various sects and sects were fighting martial arts.

Both of them are among the best, and now they are also well-known in the local cultivation world.

If it is under normal circumstances.

Even if he is one enemy and two Yan Chong, he has the confidence to kill the two of them.

Unfortunately, it was not the right time.

When Yan Chong and Shan Pi clashed.

Hula ran out of a large group of people to help.

Among them is the bitter master of the Ding Furnace who almost succeeded him.

The father of the other party.

An innate great master.

Encountering this situation, Yan Chong immediately fled, and he barely got rid of the other party after letting the other party chase him for three days and three nights.

Afterwards.

Yan Chong naturally held a grudge against Shan Bi who ruined his good deeds.

Recuperated for a while.

He began to look around for the whereabouts of the other party.

There is nowhere to find clinker to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

It would have taken him a lot of time to find each other, but he didn't expect to "meet" the two of them in this little-known inn.

This is a great opportunity from God.

But what surprised him even more was that someone actually spoke out to stop them from doing it.

And this person is still an ordinary ordinary person.

For people like Yan Chong.

What a ridiculous thing to be.

Seriously, it can even be said to be insulting.

After all, whether it is a warrior or a monk, the status of ordinary people is like a cloud of mud.

Right now.

An ordinary person who doesn't have long eyes dares to stand up and scold and ridicule himself?

Yan Chong couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, it's still the same sentence, you have to call Lao Tzu to go out and fight!"

Facing Yan Chong, there were words with strong murderous intent.

Who knew that the middle-aged shopkeeper lying in the rocking chair in the counter looked so impatient that he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

"Shopkeeper, just say a few words!"

At this time.

Ah Chao at the counter stopped the bookkeeping work.

He looked at Yan Chong in front of him calmly, without the slightest fear on his face.

And the guy in charge of running the hall, Xiao Ming in the mouth of the middle-aged shopkeeper said helplessly to the middle-aged shopkeeper.

"Am I not right?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper yawned lazily, but his eyes were still not open.

Of course, the shopkeeper is right, but the next time the shopkeeper speaks, he may be a little more tactful and polite. ”

Xiao Ming smiled bitterly with a tired face.

"Euphemism, politeness, hehe, Lao Tzu is so sincere, there is no way to change it. ”

The middle-aged shopkeeper said in a lazy tone.

This conversation.

And the rest of the people listened, and they all became different from each other.

Especially the young man sitting in the corner by the window.

For a moment he suddenly felt.

This shopkeeper may not be a second person, but simply has a problem with his brain.

Speaking is meant to be on occasion.

What's more, he is still an ordinary person.

Where did he get the confidence to dare to speak out?

Isn't he afraid of death?

You must know that Yan Chong is a murderous guy, and sometimes if he doesn't agree with each other, he may take the other party's life.

But he really can't understand the behavior of this middle-aged shopkeeper.

Shan Bi and Qi Fei's attention was also on the middle-aged shopkeeper in the counter.

Young people are confused.

They are equally confused.

Is the other party impatient?

Yan Chong's idea is relatively simple.

One word.

Kill.

"I'm sorry three guest officers, I think you all heard what our shopkeeper said just now, if you want to do it, please leave here for the time being. ”

Xiao Ming, who ran the hall, seemed to have given up continuing to persuade the hopelessly middle-aged shopkeeper.

He turned.

Towards Yan Chong and Shan Pi upstairs, the two of them smiled and arched their hands.

"What if Lao Tzu insists on doing it here?"

Yan Chong sneered when he heard this.

"Officer, are you really sure you want to do it in our store?"

Xiao Ming smiled politely and politely.

"What? You despicable things are going to stop Lao Tzu?"

Yan Chong said in a disdainful tone.

"What about the two guest officers, are you going to do it in our store as well?"

Who knew that Xiao Ming ignored Yan Chong, but instead whispered to the two people upstairs.

“......”

Shan Bi, who had a cold face, glanced at Xiao Ming and didn't make a sound, and his gaze immediately fell on Yan Chong.

"Alas, then there's no way, Ah Chao, let's solve it. ”

Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly and said to the young man who was keeping accounts at the counter.

"Hmph......!

Yan Chong's face instantly gloomy when he saw this, and as soon as he said it, he was just about to make a move.

A hand suddenly tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

Immediately after that, a voice without the slightest emotion sounded in my ears.

"Guest, I think you need to calm down. ”

“......”

Yan Chong's expression changed suddenly.

He subconsciously turned his head, and then saw the guy standing at the counter doing the accounting appeared behind him at some point, and at the same time put a hand on his shoulder.

The most critical thing was that he found that his body was completely immobile.

And after he noticed the deep and indifferent eyes of the other party, his spirit began to trance.

"Good. ”

The sudden change undoubtedly frightened the young man in the corner of the window, as well as Shan Pi and Qi Fei upstairs.

"Two guest officers, I think you need to calm down as well. ”

The next moment.

The two hands were on the shoulders of Shan Pi and Qi Fei respectively.

And Shan Pi and Qi Fei couldn't help but be shocked, and their eyes gradually became dull.

"Good. ”

"Guest officer, please. ”

said.

The young man in the corner of the window watched in amazement as the two young men slowly took Yan Chong and Shan Pi Qi Fei out of the inn as if they were manipulating puppets.

"Guest, do you feel very sleepy?"

What's even more weird and frightening is that the handyman who went to the back kitchen before quietly appeared in front of the young man, only to see him looking at himself with a smile on his face, and his eyes were like a whirlpool that deeply attracted his attention.

"I ......"

The young man opened his mouth, and his spirit became muddy.

"Yes. ”

"Go back to your room and get some sleep, nothing happened when you wake up. ”

The handyman said softly.

"Yes, nothing happened when I woke up. ”

The young man repeated the phrase blankly.

He got up and shook his body and slowly went upstairs to return to his room.

It didn't take long.

The bookkeepers and the guys who ran the hall all returned to the inn lobby one after another.

"Ah Ming Ah Chao, where did you lose those three guest officers this time?"

As soon as the miscellaneous guy saw them, he immediately asked curiously.

"The grove in the east of the city, what, do you want to see the excitement?"

Xiao Ming said angrily.

"Forget it, I'm going to talk to the bear. ”

The handyman hurriedly waved his hand, and in an instant, he slipped into the back kitchen.

The bookkeeper Ah Chao returned to the counter to continue to keep accounts quietly, while Xiao Ming, who ran the hall, glanced at the middle-aged shopkeeper who seemed to be asleep in the rocking chair, pouted his lips and found a table facing the door to rest.

"Well, there weren't so many bad things before. ”

Xiao Ming sighed secretly in his heart, and his mind drifted into the distance.

He, Ah Chao, Ade, Little Bear.

All four of them are orphans without parents and begging on the streets.

Xiao Ming remembers it very clearly.

One day more than 20 years ago.

The shopkeeper suddenly appeared in front of them.

He asked.

Do you want to eat well?

And then.

They have followed the shopkeeper until now.

In Xiao Ming's earliest impression.

The shopkeeper is a very mysterious person.

He taught them many, many unimaginable things.

And the former shopkeeper was not at all as lazy as he is now.

Then.

The shopkeeper is busy in the inn with a smile every day, no matter what kind of guests he faces, he endures it.

At that time, the young Xiao Ming couldn't understand it at all.

Especially the more he understands the shopkeeper, the more confused he becomes.

Why does a treasurer with such a big ability do this?

He had asked the shopkeeper more than once.

But the shopkeeper told him.

That's how business works.

Hehe.

Business.

Xiao Ming doesn't think that the shopkeeper is a person who is short of money.

In his opinion.

The shopkeeper runs this inn not really to make money, but more like an experience and pastime.

When they reach adulthood.

Xiao Ming still remembers that day.

The shopkeeper said.

You have grown up and become sensible.

In the future, you will be an official part of this inn, and Lao Tzu wants to relax.

Outcome.

The shopkeeper has become what he is now.

In front of the local neighbors, the shopkeeper is still the same.

It can face foreign guests.

The shopkeeper always likes to ignore it, and is not polite and polite.

completely put on a look of love that can't be stopped.

For this.

Xiao Ming, they don't know how many times they wiped their butts for the shopkeeper.

If it weren't for their mastery of the secret method of mind control taught by the shopkeeper, I'm afraid the secret of this inn would have been hidden for a long time.

One more point.

A small inn like theirs.

On weekdays, it is quite rare to see a warrior monk staying in the house.

There are four at once today.

Three of them also have grudges.

This is the first time in 20 years that this has happened.

"Huh, how could I be in bed?"

In the evening.

The young man slowly woke up from the bed in his guest room.

He sat up and shook his head, staring blankly at the simple and tidy room in front of him.

"Like, I went back to my room to sleep shortly after lunch......"

The young man pondered for a moment, and seemed to recall something.

"That's not right!"

The young man's face sank in deep thought.

There is a problem.

Because.

How could someone who had reached his level be sleepy for no reason?!

Even if he doesn't sleep for ten days and ten nights, his spirit can still be full.

But the memory told me.

He did return to his room sleepy, but he couldn't remember anything else.

Could it be that memory deceives itself?

As far as he knew.

Both warriors and monks have secret ways to memorize their hands and feet.

Could it be that—

His memories have made people move?

Guess here.

The hearts of young people have become heavier.

Moment.

He walked out of the guest officer as if nothing had happened, and walked downstairs to the lobby.

Because it was evening.

The lobby was almost full of guests who came to eat, the guy in charge of running the hall and doing chores was as busy as noon, and the lazy middle-aged shopkeeper was chatting happily with the local neighbors who came to eat as always.

"Guest, do you want something to eat tonight?"

Went down the lobby.

The young man randomly found a spare space.

But his gaze glanced at the corner of the window.

Because that's where he sits at noon.

Now in the corner, there are a few plainly dressed ordinary people, all gobbling up the lasamen in the bowl.

The young man was seated for a short time.

Xiao Ming, who ran the hall, hurriedly stepped forward and greeted warmly.

"It's the same as at noon. ”

The young man said quietly.

"Okay, please wait. ”

After speaking.

Xiao Ming continued to go to other places without any surprise.

The young man did not wait long.

When the dinner he ordered was ready.

He casually tasted the dishes on the table.

Familiar taste.

It's the same as the memory of lunch.

This dinner.

The young man ate for a long time.

Until all the guests in the lobby have gone.

He was able to settle the meal on the table.

"Guest, do you need anything?"

Xiao Ming, who was cleaning up the other tables, saw this and immediately stepped forward to ask.

"No need. ”

The young man smiled and shook his head, then suddenly said with a thoughtful look.

"By the way, Xiao Er, I want to ask you something. ”

"Excuse me, officer. ”

Xiao Ming immediately pretended to be puzzled.

"When did I go back to my room after lunch?"

The young man thought for a moment.

"Have you forgotten it, guest officer? You drank tea for a long time after lunch, and finally returned to your room after drinking tea. ”

Xiao Ming was stunned.

"I see. ”

The young man nodded, got up, and walked towards the outside of the inn.

Before you go out.

He seemed to remember something again, and looked back at Xiao Erdao, who continued to clean up the tables and chairs.

"By the way, when does your inn close?"

"Answer the guest officer, we will close after nightfall, but the inn will be occupied overnight, and if you come back at night, you only need to knock on the door. ”

The second junior of the running hall said immediately.

"Thank you. ”

After speaking.

The young man waved his hand casually.

He walked straight out of the inn gate, and his figure gradually disappeared into the gradually deserted street.

"Does he seem to be aware of something?"

The young man left not long ago.

After cleaning, Xiao Ming casually walked up to Ah Chao, who was concentrating on keeping accounts.

"Don't worry, Ade is the best at mental manipulation of the four of us, and I'm sure he won't go wrong. ”

Ah Chao didn't raise his head.

"Besides, what if he could find something?"
