Chapter 65: Peeping into the Peach Blossom Bath
Juyun Inn, second floor, small courtyard.
After Zhu Xiaodan and Mu Caidie watched the competition, the two ate some snacks on the street, packed two servings, and walked back to the inn.
Yan Wuping went to Wanshan to return home as a guest, and he didn't bring them, which made Zhu Xiaodan very angry: "Sister Mu, you said that Brother Yan became the owner of the town, is it that your heart is also high, and you think we will lose his face?"
Mu Caidie was surprised: "Where did you start with this? Brother Yan is not such a person?"
Zhu Xiaodan pouted and said, "Then why didn't he take us to Old Man Wan's house for a drink?"
Mu Caidie suddenly realized this, and couldn't help laughing: "That bowl of wine, it's not as delicious as you imagined! I thought you were unhappy, just for this little thing?"
"Is this still a trivial matter?" Zhu Xiaodan didn't understand, "What do you mean when you say this wine doesn't taste good?"
Mu Caidie said with a smile: "Think about it, this Wanshan Gui invited so many famous merchants from Fenshui Town to go to the banquet together, these people, all of them are not good people, do you say this wine is interesting?"
"Why aren't they good people?" Zhu Xiaodan asked with wide eyes, "How do you know?"
"Oh, my eldest Miss Zhu, do you still have to ask?" Mu Caidie felt that Zhu Xiaodan was really lacking roots, "They are all looking forward to meeting the new town lord, it will be convenient to do things in the future, and they will all be fake and attentive, do you think it is interesting?"
"Hmm...... Listening to your explanation, it makes sense!" Zhu Xiaodan nodded vigorously.
When the two of them returned to the inn, it was starting to get dark.
Juyun Inn also hung up lanterns, tonight the stars were sparse and the moon was dark, and the two stood in the bamboo pavilion in the small courtyard on the second floor of the inn and chatted, waiting for Yan Wuping to come back.
But seeing that it was midnight, he still didn't wait for Yan Wuping to come back.
"Brother Yan has been drinking this wine for too long, right?" Zhu Xiaodan was a little worried.
"What's so strange about this?" Mu Caidie didn't think so, it's not uncommon for men to drink together, and it's not uncommon to drink until dawn. What's more, she has been with Yan Wuping for so long, and she found that Yan Wuping's ability to drink is quite big, and she doesn't seem to be drunk no matter how drunk.
But Zhu Xiaodan was still worried: "It's been several hours, didn't you say that this wine is boring?
Mu Caidie shook her head and said with a smile: "Alas, what are you worried about? Who is Wan Shangui, but a person with a head and a face in Fenshui Town, not to mention that Brother Yan is now the new town owner of Fenshui Town, so they can't kill you Brother Yan?"
She leaned her face closer to Zhu Xiaodan and asked, "You say, with Brother Yan's martial arts and the Moon Swinging Bow in his hand, who would dare to let him have an accident?"
When Zhu Xiaodan heard it, it made sense, and nodded again and again.
Outside the bamboo pavilion, a sudden evening breeze blew, and the chill was gusting, and Zhu Xiaodan couldn't help but yawn.
Mu Caidie saw Zhu Xiaodan's sleepy appearance, and said, "I see Zhu Xiaomei, let's go to sleep, maybe Brother Yan has drunk two more cups, and it is normal to stay at home in Wanshan tonight." You can't wait until dawn. ”
"Well, I'm relieved to hear you say that. Zhu Xiaodan couldn't hold her eyelids, so she walked back to her room and lay down to sleep.
Mu Caidie looked at Zhu Xiaodan, shook her head with a smile, and walked back to the room.
When they came to Fenshui Town that day, they chose Juyun Inn to stay, because they took a fancy to the fact that there was a suite on the second floor, and there was a small courtyard in the suite, just three rooms, just one person.
Zhu Xiaodan returned to the room, and his clothes were not solved, so he went straight to the bed and fell asleep immediately.
She was originally the kind of person who could fall asleep with her eyes closed, and woke up naturally when she fell asleep and then opened her eyes, not to mention that she was a little tired today.
But this night, she didn't sleep very well, and woke up in a daze a few times during the period, and she even heard the sound of running water from Mu Caidie's room next door.
Mu Caidie didn't sleep at all, she wasn't sleepy at all, and after she returned to her room, she boiled some hot water and prepared to take a bath.
There was a big wooden bath bucket in her room, and Mu Caidie sprinkled some mugwort leaves that she bought on the street today, closed the wooden window, and then took off her dress and jumped into the bath tub naked.
The fragrant smell of wormwood, and the warm hot water, made her extremely relaxed, and she half-squinted and enjoyed.
She looked at her long white legs in the water, the warm water made her body temperature rise, and her heart beat faster.
"Instigation!" suddenly a very slight voice came from outside the window.
Of course Mu Caidie heard it, she was naturally a little nervous, after all, the inn was a crowded place. She held her breath and pricked up her ears to listen, but she heard nothing else.
Well, it should be a mouse.
Mu Caidie relaxed again and gently poured water on herself, but she always felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at her.
Mu Caidie's heart fluttered, and she hurriedly looked around, the door had been bolted, and the window had been closed.
She couldn't help laughing at herself, it seemed that she was thinking too much, where was the person in the middle of the night. Well, rats at most.
The hot water in the bucket finally cooled, and Mu Caidie was still unsatisfied, so she stood up lazily, wrapped herself in a white towel, and carefully dried the water droplets on her body.
Finally, she slowly put on a clean light blue dress, and then picked up the comb, ready to comb her hair.
The copper mirror next to the bed is very large, Mu Caidie walked to the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, her long hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, she admired herself, especially her hair.
The bronze mirror was misty by the heat of the bath, and she couldn't see it very clearly, Mu Caidie wiped the mirror with her hand, she wanted to take a closer look at her long hair.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the mirror!
This shadow stood about a foot behind Mu Caidie!
The shadow seemed to be staring at her!
"Ahh
This ghost is standing behind her!
She felt goosebumps on the skin behind her back, and a chill rose up her spine. She almost fainted.
"You'd better not make a sound. The shadow said faintly.
Hearing the sound of talking, Mu Caidie calmed down a little, at least the ghost should not be able to speak, and the person who can speak is naturally a human, and now she can see this shadow clearly, this shadow is actually really a person.
A man in black with a mask!
But Mu Caidie didn't dare to turn her head, she asked in a low voice, "Are you...... Human, or ghost?"
"I'm a ghost!" the man in black didn't even think about.
Mu Caidie finally heard clearly, this man in black was a man, and his voice was rough and powerful.
She remembered that it was no wonder that when she was taking a shower just now, she always felt that someone was looking at her again, could it be that this man in black had been in the room all the time?
Thinking of this, Mu Caidie's face suddenly became as red as a peach blossom, she was ashamed and angry, she had no fear in her heart, and she wanted to speak.
