Chapter Forty-Seven: The Black Shop
Walking out of the red forest, there is a boundless barren mountain range in front of them, the road is rugged and difficult to walk, even Chen Fan and the others, it is inevitable that they will be a little unbearable to walk for a long time under such conditions, not to mention Luo Qingyun, who has always been pampered.
Two days later, the three of them came to a relatively gentle mountain, it was noon, with the scorching sun on their heads, Luo Qingyun wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Chen Fan, when is this kind of road a head, I feel that I can't hold it anymore." ”
Chen Fan was so tired that his eyes were starry, he took a deep breath, he looked up at the scorching sun, and said helplessly: "Qingyun, hold on to it, in the current situation, I can't help it, if only there was an inn nearby." ”
Luo Qingyun couldn't help but roll her eyes: "How is it possible? Where is the inn in this barren mountain and wilderness?" As soon as the words fell, suddenly, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to a towering wooden house not far ahead, and said suspiciously: "Chen Fan, look, is that an inn in front?"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, randomly gathered enough eyesight, and looked forward carefully.
Sure enough, not far ahead, there was really an inn with a signboard! I didn't expect that there would be such a small inn in this kind of wilderness, and everyone was very happy, and they took three steps and two steps, and walked quickly in the direction of the inn.
Chen Fan came to the door and took a closer look, this should be an inn that is some years old, the gate is dilapidated, and the plaque above is also blurred. Looking inside the house, although it is very clean and tidy, the tables and chairs are very shabby, and the floor is uneven.
In the inn, there was a middle-aged woman sitting in a very charming dress. After Chen Fan and the others came in, the middle-aged woman just glanced up and asked casually, "Is the guest officer eating or staying in the hotel?"
"Stay!"
"How many rooms do you want?"
"Three!"
"Okay, objectively, please wait!" The middle-aged woman laughed lightly, stood up randomly, stretched her neck, and shouted upstairs: "Ali!"
"It's coming!" After a short time, a slender young man ran down from the top of the inn. Seeing Chen Fan and the others, the young man greeted politely and said with a smile: "Guest officer, I'll take you to the room!"
Chen Fan and the others thanked them with a smile and walked upstairs with the young man.
The stairway of the inn is very old, stepping on it, there is a muffled creak with every step, in addition, the musty smell here is also very strong, and there is a bad smell everywhere, faintly, giving people a chilling feeling.
After leading the three of them to their respective rooms, the shopkeeper greeted him politely, and then left quickly.
At this time, Yue Wuya walked quickly in front of Chen Fan and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, this inn is a bit weird!"
"It's indeed a bit weird!" Chen Fan nodded, in the wilderness, the sudden appearance of such an inn was a very strange thing in itself. However, Chen Fan didn't think deeply, he looked at Moon Wuya and Luo Qingyun with a smile, and quipped: "Is there still a ghost here?" Don't think about it, sleep well, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning." ”
The two nodded, returning to their respective rooms.
That night, Chen Fan practiced martial arts for a while as usual, and then went to bed to rest. After days of hurrying, even Chen Fan couldn't bear it, and the whole person was so tired that he lost a whole circle, and now, it was not easy to find such a place to rest, Chen Fan's spirit immediately relaxed, and soon entered the dream.
This sleep, Chen Fan did not sleep peacefully, out of the consciousness of the martial artist, Chen Fan always felt a cold feeling on his body. I don't know how long later, when Chen Fan was half asleep, he was suddenly awakened by a slight noise, he was shocked, and suddenly he was completely sleepy, lying on the bed secretly, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the source of the sound.
At this time, I only heard a sudden sound under the bed, although the sound was very low, but Chen Fan, as a martial artist, had six ears, and it was easy to hear it. Before Chen Fan came back to his senses, there was another crisp squeak under the bed, as if a secret door had been opened, and then, there was a soft wheezing sound.
Chen Fan was secretly frightened, lying flat on the bed, feeling that the hairs on his body were about to stand up, but he wanted to understand the intention of the visitor, so he did not expose it immediately, but continued to lie on the bed and pretend to sleep.
After a short time, the black shadow under the bed shook, and a big man in black slowly came out. By the moonlight outside the window, I saw the man in black slowly come out from under the bed, and in his hand, he was still carrying a bright knife. At the head of the bed, the man in black carefully straightened up, like a ghost, and tiptoed to Chen Fan's approach.
Chen Fan half-squinted his eyes and looked at the other party secretly, but because the light in the room was too dim, he couldn't see the appearance of the person who came clearly.
The man in black stood in front of the window and stared at Chen Fan for dozens of seconds, and then, a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, raised the big knife in his hand high, and slashed down at Chen Fan's head.
If Chen Fan was still asleep at this time, the other party's heavy blow could make his mind separate, but Chen Fan was awake now, and he was more awake than ever. Seeing that the other party was slashing, Chen Fan made a slap on the bed, and at the same time quickly pulled out the Xuantian ring ruler hidden in his side, and swept over towards the tip of the black-clothed man's knife.
Hearing a loud bang, the opponent's big knife slashed heavily on Chen Fan's ring ruler, and a series of sparks flashed at the same time.
The man in black didn't expect Chen Fan to notice his movements, he was stunned for a moment, let out a strange scream, and raised the big knife in his hand again, facing Chen Fan is a quick knife. This kind of knife technique, the competition is completely personal strength, this knife, although the angle is average, but the man in black has it, it is enough to split Chen Fan in half.
On the other side, seeing that the person who came slashed at him with another knife, Chen Fan took a small step back, injected the Xuantian Ring Ruler held tightly in his right hand into the vitality, and took it heavily against the heavy knife of the man in black.
"Bang!"
After a muffled sound, the black-clothed man did not cut Chen Fan into two as originally expected, but was shocked back a few steps first, and in an instant, his arm trembled a few times, and he felt that his knife was not slashed on the weapon, but on the granite, at this time, his palm was almost shocked to the point of complete loss of consciousness.
The man in black was secretly frightened, obviously, he didn't expect that the other party was still a practitioner, and he was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, Chen Fan suddenly jumped up from the front, stepped to the side of the man in black, grabbed his neck, and suddenly strengthened his hand, only to hear a click, and directly twisted the neck of the man in black.
The man in black couldn't dodge, his eyes were full of horror, his hands were on his neck, his body was twitching violently, his life was rapidly draining with his blood, and his body was also rising and falling for a while. After a short time, the whole person had stopped convulsing.
Chen Fan got rid of the man in black and just wanted to sit down and rest, but after thinking about it, since he had been attacked by a sneak attack, wouldn't Fang Han and the others be in danger as well? Thinking of this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Before Chen Fan walked out of the room, at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Chen Fan hurriedly stopped, hid behind the door, held the Xuantian ring ruler in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"
Outside the room, Yue Wuya's eager voice came: "Brother Chen, it's me!"
Hearing Yue Wuya's voice, Chen Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the door
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" As soon as he entered the door, Yue Wuya looked at Chen Fan with concern, and next to him, Luo Qingyun had the same look of concern.
Seeing that Chen Fan was safe and sound, the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when their eyes turned to the body of the man in black near the head of the bed, their brows immediately furrowed again, and Yue Wuya asked urgently, "Brother Chen, you were also attacked?"
"En!" Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "I almost let the other party chop it alive!"
After that, Chen Fan's face was gloomy, and he turned to Luo Qingyun and said, "Qingyun, you stay in the room first and don't come out, I will go back with Wuya." ”
Of course, Luo Qingyun knew what they were going to do, nodded and reminded, "Be careful!"
"Hehe, it's okay!"
Chen Fan and Yue Wuya are both good at night walking, walking in the dark corridor, the two of them are as relaxed as a walk, they first flashed to the roof of the inn silently, and after confirming that no one was found, they hurriedly bowed down and walked to the backyard of the inn without a sound.
The inn's kitchen is located in a corner of the backyard, about the size of a guest room, and the kitchen is still dimly lit.
Chen Fan and Yue Wuya cautiously came to the kitchen windowsill, the former dipped his index finger in a little saliva, and gently tapped it on the window paper, after poking a small hole, Chen Fan stood on tiptoe and looked at the situation in the house.
The scene in the kitchen is really shocking, even Chen Fan, who has experienced strong winds and waves, can't help but shiver after seeing this scene. It turned out that on the wall of the kitchen, there were more than a dozen iron hooks hanging densely, and what hung on the iron hooks was nothing else, but a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
On the stove, the man named Ali was disemboweling a bloody corpse, and the intestines of the white flowers were piled up under the stove, and the bright red blood was flowing down the board......
And next to Ali, it was the owner of this inn, the middle-aged woman looked at the former's movements expressionlessly at this time, and muttered from time to time: "Why is Ah Fei's movements so slow, and I don't know if he slaughtered the new boys?"
The young man named Ah Li heard her muttering, turned his head, with scarlet eyes, and grinned: "Don't worry, Ah Fei has never missed a hand in doing this kind of thing!"
During the conversation between the two, they turned a blind eye to the bloody scene in front of them, and their facial expressions were not nervous at all, and their expressions were as plain as chattering.
