"Somehow, I walked into the store slowly. And I.... I was so scared that I felt my legs go limp, and then I fell unconscious...... Ahem, no more. ”

Wang Xi's eyes rolled and he made excuses for himself.

And then ..... A splash of pee in his pants, laughing to death, no matter how much he says this, he can't say it! So I had to bite the bullet and continue to talk, but I didn't know what to say for a long time.

And then what happened? Didn't there then?

"Then he fell unconscious and fainted." Wang Xi took a deep breath, and then said with great certainty.

"That's not right! What about the shopkeeper you just mentioned? What happened to him? Could it be that you have hidden part of the situation? Ji Lianchu grabbed the details and asked continuously, and she found a loophole in his speech.

This made Wang Xi break out in a cold sweat.

"You!"

The shopkeeper was very angry, and he was about to shoot the case, but he still questioned himself? What do you mean? Do you think it's a joke about rumors?

But if you think about it, it's okay to ask for it.

Wang Xi recalled carefully and said intermittently.

"I ...... When I woke up, it was noon, and I saw myself with one foot in the ghost shop. Less than a foot is a dead body...... That back looks like our boss. ”

Ji Lianchu: "What about after that?" Running away regardless of it, right?"

Wang Xian was surprised, stared at his eyes and was speechless for a while, and then slowly asked, "How do you know?"

Ji Lianchu said unhurriedly: "If you didn't guess wrong, you could find this place unharmed because-" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Because the little short legs run fast?"

[Yang Zhi: Female, chivalrous, go down the mountain to find the little junior sister. 】

It turned out to be a female swordsman who happened to pass by, she was dressed in red casual clothes, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and her hair was held by a plum blossom white hosta, which was tied high to show her heroic posture.

Listening to Yang Zhi's half-ridiculous words, Wang Shi's face suddenly turned red, and he said with shame and anger: "Heh! What do you mean? Make me Wang Xiaoer look like a deserter! Let's talk ...... again," Wang Xi said while jumping a few times, and replied indignantly, "My legs are not short, obviously very long, okay?!" Saying that he showed off his long legs. For no reason, he just wants to prove that his legs are not short! ”

Tsk, the tense atmosphere just now disappeared all of a sudden.

The heroine couldn't help but laugh when she saw Wang She's cute appearance, she hadn't seen such an interesting person for a long time, and couldn't help but stop for a while.

Ji Lianchu was still cold and natural, and said slowly.

"That's the reason, I don't think so."

The heroine's eyes fell on Ji Lianchu, and she quipped curiously, "Oh? So what is the reason for this little boy? ”

"There are two reasons for escaping this catastrophe, one is that there is a charm at the door of the store, and ghosts can't get out."

"And what about the second one?"

"Although the shopkeeper is in his early twenties, he is still a virgin."

Wang Xi was the first to disagree, what's wrong with being single? He's a good commoner who pays a single tax every month! What's wrong with being in your twenties? Why wait a few more years to meet the right person? Moreover, even if he has to pay the single tax, he will never give in. Isn't it too hasty to marry a wife and have children casually?

The king opened his mouth in displeasure and asked, "What's the matter?" What's the stake with that?"

"A splash of boy's urine exorcises the ghost curse, and it can be regarded as a crooked beating!"

"You! You one-" Wang Xi's face turned even redder, it was over, his image was completely ruined, in fact, he was not such a timid person, but he fell off the chain at a critical moment...... Everything came unexpectedly! But fortunately, the ancestors of the Wang family blessed and were fortunate to escape this catastrophe.

"Don't be embarrassed, you should be grateful for the haste at that time!"

When Helian Xu heard this, he faintly felt that this was covering up something, and suddenly remembered that Ji Lianchu had said that inexplicable sentence at this time yesterday, could it be that what happened today was within her expectations? Her just the right reminder made him have to think about it.

But it is also possible to hit the right one.

"Yang Zhi is willing to bow to the wind and admire the son!" The female knight bowed her hand, and looked at Ji Lianchu's eyes full of excitement and joy.

Such a serious and serious appearance and Fang Cai's light-heartedness are like two people.

"I don't know what to call Childe? Today's fate, Yang Zhi and Gongzi hit it off at first sight, and I don't know if they can be friends? ”

Ji Lianchu was a little surprised, this is too sudden, right? The word friend is too far away for her, whether it is Miss Gongqing, who is not a friend in the game, or a handkerchief who meets in Pingshui. Or the people who deal with it every day in real life, it doesn't count. Ji Lianchu is a proper housemaid and rarely communicates with strangers.

But Wang Xi on the side couldn't wait, his benefactor shopkeeper was still in danger, and now standing here it was very difficult to sleep and eat, and he couldn't sit still at all.

If it weren't for the shopkeeper to let him come to Fuyun Building to work, he would not have a foundation for his life, maybe he would still be begging for food to survive.

So he has always been quite grateful to the shopkeeper for his kindness.

In his opinion, the shopkeeper has a lot of ability, and he has two inns under his name at a young age, but the king of that one does not go often, and most of the time the shopkeeper will take care of that store.

"Can the little one save the shopkeeper? I also hope that the son can guide the maze, but the small one really has no choice. ”

Ji Lianchu came back to his senses, "Pointing out the maze is not counted, you are very lucky that you have not gone astray." But your shopkeeper doesn't have to. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Shi blinked, puzzled.

"The ancestors accumulate virtue, and you are also a good person, the ghost tricks are naturally not close, and it is lucky to occasionally enter the evil place to pick up a life. It's just your shopkeeper who ...... That's it, we'll take you to the Floating Cloud Inn branch. ”

As he spoke, he went out the door unconsciously.

Following Wang Xi's footsteps, the group soon came to the Fuyun branch and went upstairs to the room where the shopkeeper had an accident.

Directly facing the entrance is a wooden screen more than two meters high, which is beautifully carved and valuable at first glance.

Bypassing the screen phoenix makes people feel even more stunned, there is a long table behind the screen, which is the kind of front desk table that ordinary restaurants collect money from.

Looking around again, the walls on both sides of the store are lined with mahogany shelves with large and small ceramic objects.

Look at the two columns in the middle of a piece of incense, I don't know what is placed in the middle of the incense case, half a foot high covered with a red cloth, in front of a few plates of fruit, it seems to be worshipping some gods.

But why is it covered with a red cloth? Maybe it's some kind of custom to pray for blessings!

Ji Lianchu was puzzled, driven by curiosity, she carefully lifted the corner of the red cloth, and soon the mystery behind the red cloth was revealed.

It was a lifelike statue of a god.

"I can't imagine that your shopkeeper is quite superstitious?!"

Helian Xu also saw the appearance of the god statue, but he simply felt very familiar, very similar to someone he had seen.

Wang Shi on the side didn't speak, his mind was messed up, he lowered his head and thought about something, Yang Zhi came from behind him and patted him on the shoulder to remind him.

"Hey, shopkeeper, ask you! What about your shopkeeper? ”

"It should be upstairs."

"Okay, let's take a look."

But after pushing the door open, Wang Shi was stunned.

"I saw it all when I was still here in the morning...... I remember seeing a room full of coffins and corpses behind the shopkeeper...... They move and laugh, and they beckon to me......" Wang Shi muttered to himself, and to his surprise, the shopkeeper was gone!

Along with the blood stains on the ground, there was an unexpected extra statue of God, so what did the murderer of the shopkeeper want to convey?

"The people behind the scenes understand some evil ways crookedly, using the fear of ghosts and gods to scare away Wang Xi, who suddenly broke into the scene of the crime, and then put the so-called gods before leaving in order to confirm the ghosts and gods. This adds to the problem and raises suspicions about its true purpose. ”

Yang Zhi hurriedly asked, what is the real purpose?

Ji Lianchu didn't say anything at this time, but confirmed it with practical actions.

She walked around the room, her hand gently groping forward on the wall on one side of the easel, and as expected, there should be a mechanism or a secret room.

Because from the moment she entered the door, she noticed the abnormality.

The wood used for the easel is common and affordable in the world, and it does not fit in with the design atmosphere of the whole building.

Over the years, this easel probably existed before the innkeeper bought the building.

Along the way, the ornaments outside the Fuyun branch building are full of luxury, like entertaining distinguished guests, while the place where the shopkeeper rests is simple and simple.

The easel near the corner of the wall looks particularly shabby.

Behind everything that is unusual is often an ulterior secret. Whether happy or sad, the taste will only be known when you taste it.

Ji Lianchu slowly walked forward to see where the switch that touched the secret room would be.

"Found it!"

The eyes of the four of them converged.

It was a pen holder, with patterns carved on it, which seemed to be very ordinary, but when Nan Xiangzhi turned the pen holder, the wall behind it suddenly separated, and it was a small secret room that could only accommodate one person hiding in it at most, but unexpectedly it was empty, and the real place to hide things was not here!

"Little boy, it seems that you guessed wrong!" Yang Zhi on the side said, and then couldn't help but be a little worried, "Will it be noticed in advance and then transferred?" Together with the corpse of the shopkeeper. ”

"No, it won't." Ji Lianchu said categorically, she was very sure and definitely not, the time before and after is not sufficient, the other party cannot be perfect, there will be some omissions, and Wang Xi, who suddenly broke in at the scene, found that he was even more panicked, so eager to S people to kill their mouths It was just an accident that the shopkeeper knew a lot of their secrets.

Or perhaps, this Fuyunlou branch is for people to do business, and the shopkeeper may be one of the informants, dealing with the orders of those who want to buy murderers. Then the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked. Of course, these are just speculations, and Ji Lianchu himself is not sure.

"Wait!" It was Wang Xi who spoke, he seemed to think of something, and he was extremely excited, "When our shopkeeper brought me here before, he showed me a box, and he said that if he had an accident in the future, he would take the iron box to Dali Temple to report the case." ”
