Chapter 128: Black Shop?
Shao Yifei heard Bai Qiuyue say this, he also felt curious, out of order to reduce Bai Qiuyue's fear, Shao Yifei had to say to Bai Qiuyue: "Qiuyue, don't think about it." We'll be here for a day or two and we'll be gone. Bai Qiuyue had to reduce the fear in her heart slightly.
The wind still did not stop at night, and the wind outside was so bad that it made a very unpleasant sound from the window lattice, and suddenly the pasted window paper was blown open, and the wind blew the things in the house incessantly, and the tables and chairs were also blown and shaken. The candle on the table was blown to the ground, as if it was like a drunken person, who would light the things on the table if he was not careful, and the dead branches outside threw its shadow into the window lattice, and its shadow swayed, looking like an old man with a rickety back, Bai Qiuyue always felt that everything here had an ominous atmosphere.
The wind whimpered, and in the wind, Bai Qiuyue seemed to hear the child's terrible cry, her heart panicked, so she asked Shao Yifei: "Did you hear the child's cry?" ”
Shao Yifei's sleepiness struck, he thought that Bai Qiuyue was having auditory hallucinations, so he asked Bai Qiuyue not to think about it.
But how could Bai Qiuyue not think about it, when she listened again, she didn't hear it again.
The next morning, the laughter of Wei Jin, Gu Bei, Zhang Guang, Xu Liangchen and others came from the inn, adding a touch of sunshine to this strange inn.
The weather has improved, and the snow has stopped. It's just that the outside is still white, and that piece of white gives people a very miserable white feeling. The white color is like the white of the depressed funeral, and the background of such an inn gives people such a feeling, however, the laughter of several men dispelled this strange atmosphere.
And Wei Jin, Gu Bei and others were throwing dice to play, this dice were brought by Wei Jin, as a time to kill time when they were bored, "Big!" Big! Big! A few people shouted, but when they opened it, they saw that there were only six ones, so Wei Jin gave several people a copper coin each. Several people happily put Wei Jin's copper coins in their pockets. Wei Jin threw the dice a little discouraged, and said angrily: "I will lose everything!" I don't even want to play! ”
Just when Wei Jin lost his temper, he saw Shao Yifei and Bai Qiuyue coming. So he hurriedly got up to greet the general and Aunt Bai.
Shao Yifei said to everyone: "Let's sit down and eat!" After tonight, we're ready to go! The snow is a little lighter today. ”
"Okay!" Wei Jin said with a smile, at this time, Shao Yifei ordered the innkeeper to bring it up early. I saw that the innkeeper ignored a plate of pickles and a few bowls of porridge!
A few people were hungry, so they had to give up.
However, Wei Jin was in a particularly unhappy mood, he muttered, and said angrily: "This kind of food is given to pigs, and pigs don't eat it!" ”
"Then don't eat it!" The innkeeper gave him a blank look. When he was about to reply, Shao Yifei hurriedly stopped him.
The innkeeper carried the basket on his back and was about to go out. Said it was to buy ingredients. The innkeeper's lady carries the basket for the innkeeper. She muttered to the innkeeper to be safe.
When the innkeeper left, the innkeeper walked up to everyone, "Don't be annoyed, don't complain, I'll give you stew at noon." ”
"Stew? If you don't make it good, we won't be able to eat it, just like yesterday! Poorly done! The meat seemed to be unprocessed, and I saw hairs on the skin. Wei Jin spoke very directly.
"Don't worry." The middle-aged woman said politely. And her hair was tied up by a simple hairpin, and she was dressed in blue coarse cloth, and she looked like the kind of person who had experienced wind and frost. Her hands were like dead trees, and her face was wrinkled like ravines. But her age is not very large.
A smile crossed her lips, but it was a little mysterious.
"Bang bang It was the sound of her chopping meat, and the sound of chopping meat made people shudder and tremble.
When the middle-aged woman entered the house, Wei Jin whispered to everyone: "Don't you think, they are so strange, last night, I seemed to hear the cry of a child~" Bai Qiuyue's heart was shocked, it turned out that she was not the only one who heard it, but also Yu Jin.
Wei Jin approached everyone with a little mystery, and said in a mysterious tone: "Don't you think there are ghosts in this inn? It feels like a black shop, and basically no one comes except us! ”
Xu Liangchen also thought for a while, feeling that this inn did have a bit of a weird feeling, and Xu Liangchen had always been calm and quick-witted, he smiled bitterly: "It's better for us to leave early!" I also feel something unusual, alas, do you remember that when you didn't come here, there was a woman who said her baby was missing! Do you think it will ~"
Just when he was about to say something, the innkeeper came with a bowl of meat, and the meat was better than yesterday, but because of Xu Liangchen's words just now, everyone felt more and more strange, and felt that this meat seemed to be a little abnormal, Bai Qiuyue thought of bad things, so she stopped eating it.
Several people also understood that they couldn't eat it.
And at this moment, a person suddenly walked in the inn, and the smell of that person made people smell sick! I saw that the man was in rags, holding a broken bowl in his hand, and he was muttering words that people could not understand, and he was obviously a madman. On such a cold day, he was still wearing summer sandals on his feet, and I saw that his toes were red from the cold. Apparently hungry for many days, the madman rushed over like a hungry wolf when he saw the food on the table, and took the meat on the table and ate it! I don't care if this meat is boiling hot!
The smell on his body made everyone frown, and at this time, the innkeeper walked in, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she actually took a knife to chop meat, rushed in violently, and said angrily to the beggar in front of her: "I treat you well on weekdays, right?" How do you come again and again! This time it's good! Go eat the food on the guest table in front of my eyes! ”
The beggar made a terrible noise, and just then the innkeeper returned, and his basket was full of ingredients, chickens, fish, and some vegetables. He was equally angry when he saw the beggar. He drove him away like a dog, and when he saw him holding a broom, he scolded angrily, "Get out of here!" ”
Seeing this posture, the beggar hurriedly knelt on the ground to beg for trouble, Bai Qiuyue saw that he was pitiful, so she gave him a little money, and then the beggar left, but he was still cursing when he left: "Black shop!" Black shop! This boss and hostess are not good people! ”
The beggar's cursing just hit everyone's heart, and everyone speculated in their hearts, only to see that the proprietress was still holding a bloody boning knife in her hand, which made people shudder, and the proprietress saw that the beggar was gone, so she changed her smile and went in.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all think it's a little strange.
The hunch told them that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so Shao Yifei suggested that everyone could leave in the afternoon.
But the snow fell again disobediently, and delayed the departure time, and the innkeeper heard them say that they wanted to leave for time, so she persuaded: "My father-in-law just went out, he said that the road is not easy to walk, you just stay for another night, he just went to the nearby place to buy some vegetables, and now there are ingredients to eat!" ”
Bai Qiuyue and Shao Yifei raised their doubts: "In this barren countryside, where is there a place to buy vegetables so quickly, and the snow covers the mountain, he only came back after a while, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Shao Yifei did feel strange, but the snow was falling again, and if he went out like this, it would only be more dangerous. I can only stay in this inn first, and the food has improved a little in the evening, and the taste is better, so out of vigilance, Shao Yifei deliberately tried the poison during the evening meal, but he was relieved that there was no poison.
Everyone was eating their own food, but they were in a state of anxiety, and they just hoped that they would hurry over tonight and leave tomorrow to continue their journey.
And at night, Bai Qiuyue heard a few children's cries, she was sure that she heard correctly, out of curiosity, so she borrowed a little effort, and quietly walked out, the wind outside blew the leaves on the treetops scattered, the heavy snow covered the leaves and dead branches on the ground, the ground was like a sprinkle of fine salt, in the light of the yellow lantern glowing with a slight light, Bai Qiuyue tried not to make a little sound when stepping on the snow, but there was still a subtle "creak, creak" sound when stepping on the snow, It's like the kind of sound that a person can't help but make when he wants to laugh in his throat but can't help it.
And Bai Qiuyue quietly opened the paper that was sticking to the window, she didn't look at it, she was startled! I knew she wouldn't have watched it!
In the dim room, a child was lying on the bed, and he kept crying, while the innkeeper said to the proprietress with a fierce look: "Shut his mouth!" And by the candlelight, Bai Qiuyue saw the man's shadow cast on the wall, like the shadow of a demon at this moment!
The child's mouth was gagged, and he could not make a sound, and the woman was seen holding a boning knife in her hand! Get close to the kid! The child's body could only keep struggling!
Bai Qiuyue finally knew everything, she couldn't help but gag, she knew where the meat came from these days, and Bai Qiuyue panicked, her legs were weak, and she forgot to step on the ground quietly, the sound of her footsteps provoked these two people to see, so these two people turned their eyes to her!
Oh no, Bai Qiuyue panicked!
She hurriedly ran away, only to hear a man come out behind her, who pushed the door open and shouted, "Stop! ”
Bai Qiuyue was extremely flustered, and hurriedly ran to the inn to call Shao Yifei, when she opened Shao Yifei's body, she saw beads of sweat on his forehead! His lips are pale! Bai Qiuyue originally thought that his cold poison had attacked, but he didn't expect that he was hit by a dart in his arm! And that dart apparently flew in through the window! Because that window is cracked!
Finished! Bai Qiuyue exclaimed, I have to go!
And the strange footsteps of "kick, kick" approached little by little, Bai Qiuyue's heart rose to her throat, she knew! It's the devil coming, it's the devil coming!
Bai Qiuyue struggled to pull Shao Yifei's body to a hidden place, while she leaned against Shao Yifei's side, and she didn't dare to breathe!
Just listen to the knock on the door, "Da Da Da!" ”
"I just saw you! Is there something you can do? The innkeeper said in his rough voice outside the door, which made people nervous. However, Bai Qiuyue didn't dare to breathe, Shao Yifei must have been assassinated by him!
"If you don't speak, I'll come in!" The boss raised his voice, his voice a little vicious!
