Chapter 84: Zhong Laoqi and Xiaoqi
After a night of nothing, Fan Yi was woken up by the shouting of street vendors.
He pushed open the door with a high spirit.
I saw that the door of the inn was open, and people kept coming and going, which was in stark contrast to the deserted appearance of last night.
At this time, the middle-aged man saw Fan Yi, and his face was a little warmer, and he said:
"Is the guest still staying tonight?"
Fan Yi walked down the stairs and replied:
"Is there a ship leaving here today?"
The middle-aged man replied:
"Yes, I'll leave at noon, if you want to take a boat, you can go to the pier early, you can register on the boat, just give the money."
Fan Yi smiled and said:
"Okay, then let's take my leave."
The middle-aged man was no longer polite and went on his own.
It's just an overcharged spirit stone last night, but the man didn't mention it.
Fan Yi strode to the door of the inn.
I saw that there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and the street was lined with vendors with stalls, and the business scene was the same as that of the ferry town.
Fan Yi went to a small shop to eat something, then bought a few more clothes, simply covered his face, and walked directly out of the city.
The merchant ships along the river are only operated by the Liuwanglou family in Tianlong City.
Fan Yi went to take a gamble to see if the Mo landlord would abide by the agreement and no longer pursue the previous matter.
As he walked towards the gate, he saw from afar a large number of people gathered around the gate, pointing and pointing.
Fan Yi felt bad in his heart, so he walked up to see it.
I heard some people talking:
"Old Liu Tou died too miserably."
"Yes, Lao Liu Tou has only been guarding the door for two months since he came to Zuoqi Town, and he was asked for his life by a ghost."
Fan Yi squeezed into the crowd and saw the old man who opened the door for him last night was lying in a pool of blood.
The old man's eyes were sunken into the sockets, and he could see that the old man had been strongly frightened before he died, his mouth was wide open, and the whites of his eyes turned up.
There was a bruise on his neck, which had been grabbed by someone and pierced his eyebrows with his fingers, and the wound reached the back of his head.
Fan Yi stepped forward and wanted to close the old man's eyelids, but when he started, the others hurriedly shouted:
"Don't touch him! Whoever moves will be killed by the ghost! ”
This shout was still slow.
Fan Yi had already put his palm up and closed the old man's eyes.
Fan Yi turned his head to look at everyone, only to see that everyone's faces were full of shock, and there was fear among them.
When Fan Yi stood up, everyone instantly squeezed back and took two steps, for fear that he would approach.
Fan Yi took out a spirit stone from his pocket and said:
"There is a spirit stone here, who can bury the old man in the ground? Spirit stones can be taken. ”
Everyone was happy in their hearts at first, because what Fan Yi took out was not a silver coin but a spirit stone, and the spirit stone was much more valuable than the silver coin. However, thinking of what the young man said, the idea of taking away the spirit stone was gone.
Someone said:
"You give us money, but you also have to spend your life, whoever touches the corpse of the ghost will die in two days."
"Yes, yes, you can't take this money!"
Fan Yi watched everyone cower, so he had to put away the spirit stone and pick up the old man, and walked towards the outside of the city.
Seeing this, everyone followed for a distance, and when they saw Fan Yi looking for a path into the mountain, they gave up following.
After burying the old man, Fan Yi went down the mountain alone and walked towards the merchant ship on the shore, not caring about the ghosts who said about his life.
Not much.
The boy walked up the stairs.
I saw a middle-aged man and a little girl in a green skirt, sitting behind a wooden table, looking at him well.
The two of them are not dressed exquisitely, but they are also a little extravagant.
When the little girl in the green skirt saw Fan Yi, she showed a slightly shy look on her face, and her eyes were dodgy when she looked at it.
The middle-aged man's figure was a little burly, and he looked honest, and he took the initiative to ask:
"Little friend is going to take a boat?"
Fan Yi replied with a smile:
"How much silver do you need to get to Celestial Dragon City?"
The middle-aged man didn't think about it, he directly stretched out three fingers and said:
"Thirty spirit stones, eat and live."
Fan Yi took out the spirit stone from his coat pocket and placed it on the wooden table.
I saw that the man stretched out his hands and took the spirit stone in, and said without raising his head:
"I am the person in charge of this ship, surnamed Zhong, Zhong Laoqi."
"My daughter will take you to the guest room in a while, and the boat will stop until noon and leave, and someone will bring you food later."
Fan Yi replied simply:
"I'm tired."
Zhong Laoqi raised his hand and waved it, and counted the spirit stones carefully.
After counting it clearly, Zhong Laoqi put the spirit stone into his pocket on the side.
Only then did he stand up and look at Fan Yi.
I saw that the young man's eyes were clear, but his face was covered by a black cloth, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
Zhong Laoqi tilted his head to the little girl and commanded:
"Xiao Qi, you take the guests to the shipbuilding to rest."
After the little girl stood up obediently, she walked towards the boat building with Fan Yi when she walked around the wooden table.
On the second floor, there was a door around the corner that was pushed open by the little girl.
The little girl Nunu mouthed and said:
"This is your room, don't run around if you're fine."
Fan Yi saw that the little girl looked cute, and wanted to reach out and touch her little head.
Said:
"Your father is Zhong Laoqi, so are you called Zhong Xiaoqi?"
The little girl nodded vigorously.
After a moment she shook her head again and said:
"I don't like the name."
After saying that, he turned his head and ran.
When Fan Yi walked into the room, he saw that the space inside was not large, but if he wanted to take out the medicine pod to quench his body, the position was enough.
This room also has a window sill, from which you can see far away, not only can you shelter from the wind and rain to reduce fatigue, but also can take a good look at the scenery, quite a leisurely and comfortable hope.
At noon, the ship slowly retreated and then went straight downstream. When the thin ice breaks, the water rattles.
Although the merchant ship is large, it is not slow. I think there are still many strong warriors in the cabin, participating in the stampede on the water wheel.
When the big boat went straight down the river, there was constantly the laughter of the people, and the sound of birds in the ears from time to time was also pleasant.
Knock knock!
Someone knocked on Fan Yi's door, and when he opened the door, he saw Zhong Xiaoqi and two women holding a small wooden cart.
Zhong Xiaoqi walked to the door first, picked up a small wooden barrel from the small wooden cart and handed it to him.
Like a little adult, he said:
"Remember to leave the barrel at the door after eating, and I'll come back and pick it up later."
Seeing that Fan Yi nodded, he walked to the next room satisfied.
It's just that this way makes Fan Yi always feel a little weird, as if feeding prisoners.
Fan Yi closed the door and ate some food at random, put the small wooden bucket outside the door, plugged in the deadbolt, and came back to continue to look at the beautiful scenery outside the window.
In the evening.
Fan Yi took out the medicine pod and medicinal herbs, and asked the Heavenly Spirit Seal to cut off the connection between the room and the outside world, and began to refine his physique. After the quenching was over, Fan Yi began to take stock of the things on his body.
When he took out the domino given by Lord Mo Lou, he couldn't help frowning.
