Chapter 47: The Inn (1)

I thought it would take three or four days to get out of Kunlun Mountain, but I didn't expect it to take only two days.

Outside the Kunlun Mountains is a small town, with houses of varying heights lined up in it, snow-capped rooftops, and horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians hurrying past on the road.

Xie Qian had never seen a scene in the mortal world, and he looked around with his eyes wide open, eager to come up and see what was going on.

A carriage drove by, and Mu Chengye, who was holding her hand, suddenly trembled. He immediately reverted back to his fox appearance, curled up and ran into Xie Qian's arms.

Its eyes were closed, its body tensed, and it didn't know what terrible thing it saw.

"Are you uncomfortable again?" Xie Qian reached out and touched its forehead with some worry, and after making sure that there was no fever, he asked again in confusion, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nearby, there's too much evil air nearby." Mu Chengye said tremblingly, shaking into a ball. Its eyes were full of horror, the opposite of its usual confident appearance.

Xie Qian finally understood what it said in the Yao Pond, and when it was in danger, it could pretend to be an ordinary fox and not be suspected by others.

She touched its red fluff lovingly, and whispered comfortingly: "Where is that evil spirit, let's hide a little." Relax, at least I can protect you. ”

It is precisely because there is an unreliable person by his side that Mu Chengye is so afraid.

It opened its eyes slightly, and said in a faint voice, "In the carriage that just passed, there is my enemy. He should, didn't notice my ......"

What kind of person is it that makes him fear like this?

Xie Qian also became nervous, looking at where the carriage went.

The carriages that had just passed were common to ordinary people, and there were already seven or eight of them as they spoke. Xie Qian watched it for a long time, and he really couldn't tell which one was the carriage that scared Mu Chengye like this.

And maybe the carriage was just going out of the city, and it didn't notice Mu Chengye's existence.

A few more carriages passed, and stopped in front of a small three-story building, from which men dressed in coarse linen clothes greeted them warmly.

Xie Qian had never seen such a posture, and blinked his eyes and said curiously: "What kind of place is that, how can I smell the smell of rice?" ”

Hearing her question, Mu Chengye raised his head a little and looked at it, then buried his head in her arm and said, "Which is called an inn, which is a place for mortal beings to live and rest." I'm not getting early, so let's go in and have a nice meal, and take a break. ”

"Oh." Xie Qian agreed and walked over with it in his arms.

The shopkeeper who was standing at the door of the inn saw Xie Qian at a glance, wearing a heavy cloak and holding a pet like a red fox in his arms. ”

"Yes." Xie Qian thought for a while and said, "Let's have something to eat." ”

The shopkeeper should take her to the best room on the third floor, and ordered the food to be served, so she went out respectfully.

As soon as he entered the room, Xie Qian was immediately dumbfounded. The room has a total of four rooms, including two rooms with beds, a guest room with a wooden barrel for washing, and a reception room facing the main entrance.

At this moment, the table in the reception room is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the fragrance wafts throughout the room.

Mu Chengye jumped down from between her arms and returned to the appearance of a teenager, sat down at the table with ease, picked up chopsticks and ate two bites, and asked casually, "Where did you get the money?" ”

"What money?" Xie Qian had never heard of this thing.

“……”

Mu Chengye seemed to understand something, silently took out a purse from his arms, rummaged out a piece of gold, and advised: "You give this to the shopkeeper, just say that you don't need to look for it, we have to live for two or three days, and the food can be at today's level." ”

Xie Qian held the gold and looked at it again, his eyes sparkled and said, "Do mortals use this thing?" ”

"This is called money, you can stay and buy things...... Mu Chengye reluctantly put down his chopsticks and took a sip of tea, "I will tell you all about these in the future, and now you go and pay the money." I don't want to be thrown out for eating a bully meal, it's too embarrassing. ”

Xie Qian didn't seem to understand, but she still obediently went downstairs to pay the money.

The shopkeeper had never seen such a generous person, so he immediately put away his eyes and happily said, "If you have anything to ask us, we will try our best to meet it." ”

Repeating what Mu Chengye said to the shopkeeper, she turned around and went upstairs.

Several big men who were eating on the first floor noticed the situation here, looked at her with inquiring eyes, and then bowed their heads thoughtfully to eat.

After the two finished eating, Mu Chengye took out a gold ingot from his purse and handed it over, and sent Xie Qian to buy some heavy clothes to wear on the street.

I don't know how long it can last, and the weather is still very cold at this time, so if you want to go to the north, you must wear more.

Xie Qian was about to go out with the gold in his hand, but Mu Chengye hurriedly advised, as if he had thought of something: "Remember to find money this time." "If Bi doesn't look for money once or twice, it will definitely attract attention.

After inquiring from the shopkeeper about where to buy clothes, Xie Qian immediately went to buy many cloaks and long clothes. When she handed over the gold ingot, the proprietress had straight eyes.

With a smile on her face, she looked for money, and said casually: "You don't like a local with your accent, are you here to play or do business?" ”

"If you want to go home, pass by here." Xie Qian replied seriously.

The proprietress looked at her with innocence in her eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Which young lady are you, are you from the capital?" ”

She didn't know that there were many locations in the mortal world, and she was worried that she would be wrong, so she could only vaguely say, "Sort of, I'll just use it here for a few days." After saying that, he hurriedly left with his clothes, forgetting to take the money he was looking for.

When I ran back to the inn, the big men were still drinking tea. Seeing Xie Qian hurriedly carrying his clothes upstairs, his eyes suddenly focused.

They guessed that this girl was generous and didn't look like she was ignorant of the world, so she must have escaped from some family. Thinking that he must have a lot of money on him, he had a greedy smile on his face.

Xie Qian returned to the room, threw his clothes on the chair, and when he wanted to ask Mu Chengye what the capital meant, he saw him lying on the bed and falling asleep peacefully.

Outside, it was completely dark, and the streets were lit up. There are fewer pedestrians, and they all have to go home to rest.

She sat down at the table, dazed and wanting to sleep.

At this moment, a pair of hands grabbed her wrists and dragged her under the bed in one go. Xie Qian woke up at that time, and saw Mu Chengye, who was mysterious and mysterious beside him, and blamed him dissatisfiedly: "You are about to scare me to death, what are you doing?" ”

"Don't talk." Mu Chengye covered her mouth, "Someone is following you." ”
