Chapter 5: The Horror of the Inn
Soon it was getting dark.
"Jingru, tonight, you sleep on the inside, and I sleep on the outside." Jin Wushuang seemed to have thought of something.
Rong Jingru turned her head, "Okay!" ”
At this time, I saw Jin Wushuang take out a quilt from the cabinet, and then put it on the bed.
It was night, Rong Jingru was lying on the bed, and she didn't know if she was really sleepy, or because Jin Wushuang was by her side, which made her feel at ease, and she quickly fell asleep.
It's just that although Jin Wushuang squinted her eyes, she was still very vigilant to watch the movement outside, because she always felt that it would not be peaceful tonight.
I don't know if Jin Wushuang's feeling has come true, just when he was young, there was a scream outside the house, which woke Jin Wushuang from his sleep, and then quickly got up from the bed, put on his coat, and opened the door with the Xuantie Ancient Sword.
Just after Jin Wushuang closed the door and left, Rong Jingru also woke up from that scream.
She touched her hand and felt that there was no one outside, but there was still a trace of temperature on the bed, thinking that Jin Wushuang should leave not long ago.
But the voice still made Rong Jingru's sleepiness disappear without a trace, she got up and put on her coat, and was about to go out to see what was going on outside.
Unexpectedly, this would actually make her hear a miserable cry, which seemed not far from the room she was in now.
She was a little scared in her heart, after all, it was dark now, and she couldn't see anything, but she still opened the door by surprise.
I saw that the next room was also softly opened by Emerald Red.
"Cui Hong, you and Mama Jiang are also awake."
"Miss, the slave maid and Mama Jiang were also awakened by that scream."
Rong Jingru found that Cuihong's hands were trembling a little at this time, and her face was a little pale, and she seemed to be frightened.
"Then you and Mama Jiang close the door and don't come out."
"Miss, you too." After speaking, Cui Hong noticed that she didn't see the figure of Jin Wushuang girl.
"Miss, where's Miss Kim?"
"Go outside to explore the truth, okay, let's not talk about it, Cuihong, you better go back to the house early and close the doors and windows."
"Miss, you too."
……
When Cui Hong closed the door again, Rong Jingru began to look around seriously at this time.
It was very quiet now, and the rooms behind her were closed.
In the dark, the humble inn looked a little gloomy.
Just as she was about to go downstairs to take a look, she suddenly heard a terrible cry.
Rong Jingru thought about it, and only felt that something was wrong, after all, Jin Wushuang had already gone down to investigate, why did he cry again at this time, and this sound seemed to come from downstairs.
After thinking about it, Rong Jingru finally got bold, held the candlestick in her hand, and slowly came to the first floor.
But Rong Jingru found that the first floor was indeed empty, and when she saw this, she began to wonder if she had heard it wrong.
Because on the first floor, no matter how she took photos, she didn't find a single figure, as if it was just her own illusion.
What's even more bizarre is that not long after the crying died down, there was a commotion in the backyard of the inn.
At the same time, the sound of metal colliding also reached Rong Jingru's ears.
Rong Jingru's face changed, and she felt a chill all over her body, although she was still a weak woman now, but the thoughts of a female man in her previous life still made her stride towards the backyard by candlelight.
Although he knew that Jin Wushuang was powerful, the worry in his heart still made Rong Jingru speed up his pace, and at the same time took out an ordinary dagger that he was carrying.
Jin Wushuang saw Rong Jingru who suddenly appeared in the backyard, "Jingru is not safe here, it is better for you to go back to the house quickly." ”
As Jin Wushuang spoke, someone took the opportunity to stab her in the back.
"Be careful!"
Jin Wushuang heard Rong Jingru's voice and dodged the knife just now.
"In that case, then you're welcome." Jin Wushuang said, and the momentum on his body changed suddenly.
I saw her leap forward, turning into the void like a shadow, and those people who were still arrogant just now fell to the ground in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that Rong Jingru is now a bride and it is not easy to see blood, she might have killed these people on the spot.
It's just that although they are not dead now, they are not happy, and they were pointed by Jin Wushuang with extremely tricky techniques and their chins were removed.
Just as Rong Jingru was basking in the joy of Jin Wushuang's victory, a cold wind suddenly came from her back.
"Jingru watch your back." Jin Wubian reminded him and threw out a flying needle.
Just when Rong Jingru just squatted down, she only heard an "ah", and the flying needle had already hit the body of the person who came.
When Rong Jingru turned around, she found that the person behind her had fallen to the ground, fortunately Jin Wushuang was there, otherwise there would be trouble this time.
"Who are these people?" Rong Jingru saw that everyone was cleaned up by Jin Wushuang, and her courage became even bigger.
"Just take their masks off and see." Jin Wushuang just replied lightly.
Just as the two of them took off all the masks on their faces, the dart masters also appeared in the backyard.
"Where have you all gone, why didn't I see you in the inn just now?" Rong Jingru was a little puzzled.
"We just saw someone leave through the main entrance of the inn, leaving two people in the house, and the rest went out to chase people." A bearded dart master said.
"Did you catch someone?" Rong Jingru was a little curious.
"I didn't expect that person to run so fast, and when we chased after him, there was no one in sight." A fair-looking dart master suddenly spoke.
Jin Wushuang looked at these dart masters, but he didn't believe what they said in his heart.
Rong Jingru didn't ask much when she saw this, but she was curious that the timing of these people's appearance was too coincidental, and at the same time, she became more and more vigilant in her heart.
Because she had just been upstairs, she didn't hear these people coming downstairs at all, after all, the room they lived in was not far away.
"Since the person has been caught, it is better for us to report to the official early tomorrow morning." Rong Jingru looked at those dart masters and said lightly.
These dart masters just thought that the people lying on the ground were dead, but when they heard her say this, they looked closely and found that these people were still breathing.
"Okay, then it's up to this hero and this girl's opinion." A dart master who looked a little Sven suddenly said to a few of their companions, and then turned around and followed them back to the inn.
Jin Wushuang didn't stop these dart masters from leaving, but just looked at these people coldly.
After these people left, Rong Jingru withdrew her gaze, and then looked down at these people.
"Wushuang, it seems that this inn is a black shop, and fortunately you are here, otherwise it would be bad for us this time." Rong Jingru had already withdrawn the dagger in her hand, and when she thought of the scene just now, she sighed a little weakly.
She didn't expect that when she arrived in the northern territory, she would still be able to run into a black shop.
Jin Wushuang didn't say anything when he looked at Rong Jingru's expression, he just dragged the person who was stabbed by the flying needle just now, and then tied several people together with a rope.
Rong Jingru checked the situation on their carriage and found that the rope was a little loose, and in some places there were even clear scratches, so she guessed the situation at that time, if it weren't for Jin Wushuang, the consequences would be unimaginable.
By the time Rong Jingru had re-fixed the box, Jin Wushuang had already tied everyone up one by one.
Among these people, Rong Jingyao saw the female shopkeeper who she was somewhat familiar with, as well as Xiangzi, but there was no man and woman who stayed in the store before.
Rong Jingru couldn't help but wonder in her heart, after all, the two had never seen them come down until now.
"A man and a woman who entered the store before Wushuang, I didn't see it among these people just now."
Jin Wushuang was reminded by Rong Jingru, and he also instantly fell into deep memories.
Among these people, Jin Wushuang has not seen the man or woman that Rong Jingru said just now.
"I just followed the voice out, and I haven't had time to check on the other rooms, and I'll take a look when we get back to the inn in a while."
Rong Jingru and Jin Wushuang said that they didn't care about these tied people anymore, but quickly returned to the inn.
"Jingru, you go back to the house to rest first, and I'll take a look around this inn." Jin Wushuang thought for a moment.
Rong Jingru nodded.
Back in the room, Mengmeng's cute Lori sounded.
"Host, congratulations on successfully surviving the crisis in the inn and successfully obtaining a set of light exercises that can be used to escape."
As soon as Meng Meng finished speaking, a white light passed through the center of her eyebrows and quickly disappeared into Rong Jingru's mind.
Rong Jingru didn't expect her luck to be so good, she just wanted to learn martial arts, and the system rewarded her with the light martial arts necessary for escaping.
Because it was night and it was in the room again, Rong Jingru didn't think about the idea of trying it right away.
"Host, please find out who these people actually are, and why they are in the backyard of the inn so late." Mengmeng's cute Lolita voice sounded again.
"Meng Meng, if I find out, is there a reward?"
"Yes, host!"
"Then if I don't find out, what punishment will I receive?" Rong Jingru was still a little worried.
After all, in the novel of her previous life, it was not said that as long as she failed to complete the task, she would die, but she wanted to see how her system would answer.
Meng Meng seemed to know what Rong Jingru was thinking, "Rest assured, there won't be any punishment that will make people die at every turn, but there are still necessary punishments, or it will make you feel lazy, which is a very bad phenomenon." ”
Rong Jingru nodded, and thought deeply of what Meng Meng said, after all, it was also for her good.
Rong Jingru ended up lying on the bed thinking about it, and somehow quickly fell asleep.
She didn't sleep well that night, and her mind kept tossing and turning images of the night when she heard the screams.
Early the next morning, Rong Jingru opened her eyes early, and when she saw Jin Wushuang beside her, she was finally completely awake.
"Jingru, are you awake?" Jin Wushuang felt that someone was watching her, and she opened her eyes.
"Wushuang, you're awake too." Rong Jingru thought for a while, "By the way, did you ask them last night?" ”
"Not yet?"
At this time, Rong Jingru had already gotten up and simply washed her face with the water in the basin in the house.
There was a knock on the door outside, and at the same time, the emerald voice also came from outside the house, "Is Miss awake?" ”
"Come in!"
Rong Jingru saw Cui Hong who pushed open the door of the house, and hurriedly asked, "Cui Hong, after I finished talking to you last night, what happened in the inn after you closed the door again?" ”
Cui Hong combed Rong Jingru's hair while recalling the events of last night.
"Miss, you asked the slave to close the door and not go out last night, and the slave and maid stayed in the room with Mama Jiang all the time."
"Then the slave and maid seemed to hear it, and there was a voice outside the house of someone talking."
"Cui Hong, did you hear who this voice is?" Rong Jingru then asked.
"It's the same dart master we ate with us in the inn before." Cui Hong thought for a moment.
The slave was afraid that she had misheard, and opened the door a little crack.
"The old slave also heard the voices of those people, it was the dart master I met on the first floor before." Mama Jiang had already walked in at this time.
