Chapter Eighty-Four: The Station
As soon as Yu Zhi stepped into the post station, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.
He quickly concealed the strangeness of his expression, and couldn't tell what was wrong, but he always felt that something was wrong with this place.
Yu Zhi stepped on the dirt on the ground a few times on his toes, and said in a low voice, "Be careful, something is wrong here." ”
Ye Qinghuan nodded without moving, and his gaze quickly swept around.
Xiao Jingyao just said hello and didn't catch up. This damn fate often arouses suspicion from the other party. Xiao Jingyao also knew that Thorn was overly enthusiastic at this time, and it would backfire.
When they meet, nodding their heads are not friends.
Yu Zhi and the others walked into the lobby of the post station, which was clean, tidy, and even spotless.
Everything in the inn looked so clean that it had just been cleaned.
Soon, an old woman came out from behind the counter, her long hair mottled black and white, neatly combed on her head, and her rickety body seemed to fall down at any moment.
"Young masters, young ladies and gentlemen, there is only some coarse tea and light rice in the mountains and fields."
The old woman put stacks of food on the table and continued without squinting: "If this old man likes to drink, I have some home-brewed rice wine here, it is cold and freezing, and drinking some can warm up your body." ”
As soon as Lao Huang heard the wine, he was instantly refreshed. He shook the empty wine gourd, "Wine, where is the wine?" Give me a bite. ”
"I'll go and fetch it for the master." The old woman left tremblingly and went to get the drink.
Yu Zhi retracted his gaze, but said solemnly: "Tonight, be careful." Something is wrong here. ”
After entering the hall, Yu Zhi looked around, and was more sure of the abnormality here.
Listening to Yu Zhi's words, the girl looked around nervously, leaned towards Li Wantong's side, and held Li Wantong's hand tightly.
The rest of the people also looked around.
"Why are we staying here if something isn't right?" The girl asked, "Why don't we go quickly?" ”
Yu Zhi smiled: "Since something is wrong, you have to figure out what is wrong." If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. You can't be stared at all the way and make yourself scared. ”
As soon as Yu Zhi walked into the post station, he found that the soil in front of the door was a little fresh, and it had just been turned out from underneath. Although it was covered with a layer of old earth and a layer of snow, it was extremely soft. The front of the post house should have been the most crowded place, and the soil on the ground had been trampled countless times, so it should be stronger.
Okay, it's okay, what do you do with renovating the dirt on the ground on a snowy day?
This small anomaly may be due to Yu Zhiduo's heart.
After entering the hall, more small anomalies confirmed Yu Zhi's conjecture.
The neat tables, the spotless beams, and even the doors smell of trees.
This inn seems simple and simple, but it is really ordinary.
And the strange thing is that it is strange, how can there be such a neat post station in this wilderness, is it only an old woman to keep the huge post station in order?
Yu Zhi didn't believe it, and neither did the others.
Except for the girl, the others did not panic, but were more calm and calm. Walking the rivers and lakes, what I am afraid of is accidents, what I am afraid of is attack and killing, many masters are dying under calculation, dying in the sneak attack with intention or not.
Now that he has sensed the abnormality, the chance of the other party's sneak attack is half less.
To Yu Zhi's surprise, Li Wantong did not have a look of panic and surprise. Yu Zhi sighed in his heart, my family Tong'er is afraid that she will also see it. Alas, I missed another rub... Phew, missed another chance to be a hero.
The old woman quickly brought a jug of wine, and the spout of the pot was steaming, presumably hot.
"Young masters, my wife has nothing to entertain, please use it slowly."
"The rooms upstairs are all empty, so the young masters and young ladies can live at will."
After saying that, the old woman left by herself, probably to rest.
Outside the door, there was another wind and snow, the wind was howling, and the sky and the earth were white, and there was no room for any other color.
In the hall, several people sat around the table, and they didn't eat a bite of the food on the table, Lao Huang looked at the pot of wine, touched his nose with rosacea, and looked like he was addicted to alcohol.
"It's getting late, let's all go back and rest." Yu Zhi said.
"Tong'er, I'll stay with you tonight to protect your safety!"
Yu Zhitian shamelessly came to Li Wantong's side, looking like he was for Li Wantong's good.
The girl immediately blocked in front of Li Wantong and scolded angrily: "Phew, you disciple, you still want to take advantage of Miss." ”
Immediately, the girl pushed Li Wantong to find a downstairs guest room.
"Tong'er, Tong'er." Yu Zhi stretched out his hand and shouted, looking reluctant.
Li Wantong couldn't bear to glance at Yu Zhi, looking quite helpless. This guy is doing all this ridiculous behavior.
When Li Wantong and the others entered the house, Yu Zhi secretly glanced outside the house, and said quietly: "Lao Huang, you go and guard Tong'er and the girl, Qinghuan and I stay here." Something could happen tonight. ”
"Young Master Xiaoyu, what about me?" Wang Dafu asked, but he was the only one who was not assigned the task.
Yu Zhi looked at Wang Dafu, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Naturally, there is an important task entrusted to you?" ”
Wang Dafu suddenly felt excited, and this smile looked ill-intentioned.
"No, no, no, I'm an old arm and leg, I'm afraid it's hard to take on the heavy responsibility!" Wang Dafu had already felt the crisis and hurriedly forged. The implication of this is, I won't go, don't trick me, the young master will spare his life!
Yu Zhi also replied repeatedly: "No, no, no, I believe in you!" ”
Immediately, Yu Zhi glanced at the guest room upstairs and whispered a few words in Wang Dafu's ear.
The upstairs guest room is where Xiao Jingyao and the four live.
After saying hello at the door of the post station, Xiao Jingyao never showed up again. This couldn't help but make Yu Zhi suspect that everything here was related to Xiao Jingyao.
......
In the guest room on the second floor, Wan'er was making tea for Xiao Jingyao.
After leaving Kyoto, Xiao Jingyao seems to be a different person, he doesn't have to eat fine clothes, he doesn't have to play the piano and taste tea, he is just a son of a small family in Kyoto, traveling and following the customs.
"Childe, you say, did that Yu Zhi find something strange here?" Wan'er asked.
Xiao Jingyao took a sip of tea and said, "If he can't find it, it means that Old Lady Qiu has seen the wrong person." ”
"If he really doesn't see it, shall we warn him?"
Xiao Jingyao smiled and shook his head, "If he dies here, it means that I have seen the wrong person." The Great Chu Dynasty does not need such useless people. Besides, hasn't he found out by now? ”
Xiao Jingyao looked at the flickering candle flame, the firelight reflected on his face, revealing a smug look.
As Yu Zhi expected, Xiao Jingyao was indeed waiting for them, but everything here had nothing to do with Xiao Jingyao, he also wanted to see who was doing the ghost here.
When Xiao Jingyao and the others stepped here, he noticed the strangeness of this place.
The prince of Da Chu is not a wine bag and rice bag, but a person who has insight into the subtleties. Xiao Jingyao did not retreat, in his own words, all the way north, if he really encountered the evil spirit, he should destroy the traitor for Da Chu. If I, Xiao Jingyao, turn a blind eye and retreat, can I still expect others to see injustice?
I have to say that Xiao Jingyao's integrity and grandeur of the pattern are by no means comparable to Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi only thinks about it, it doesn't matter to him, and he doesn't want to know if he doesn't listen.
