Chapter 012: I'm afraid, the shopkeeper seems to be wrong

When it was time to unite, the sun was rising in the west, Tang Yan touched his hungry stomach and looked at Cheng Huan pitifully.

"Master, you're hungry. Tang Yan said.

"Where's the dry food you brought?" asked Cheng Huan.

Tang Yan looked at Wei Zhi aggrievedly.

There was nothing wrong with him bringing dry food all day, but he didn't expect Wei Zhi to be so able to eat it.

Cheng Huan touched his nose in disdain.

In the past few days, Wei Zhi's memory has recovered, as well as his appetite.

Wei Zhi spread out the map, looked at it for a while, and said loudly: "There is a small town ahead, you can settle down for the time being." ”

Tang Yan climbed out of the carriage weakly and relayed Wei Zhi's words.

Ling Xiao sped up, and the group quickly crossed the mountain.

"Huh-" Yun Pingqiu reined in his horse and stopped stepping forward.

Cheng Huan bowed out of the carriage, and Wei Zhi followed behind her, wearing a mask.

In front of you is a long, narrow path lined with low bushes.

Down the trail, you can see a small town at the foot of the mountain.

Cheng Huan couldn't help frowning, she could see countless grievances tightly surrounding her.

Tang Yan hadn't come down the mountain for a long time, and he looked around curiously: "Master, it feels weird. ”

Cheng Huan looked over.

Tang Yan continued: "I heard from the senior brothers and sisters of the Taoist Sect that Dongliu Town is the only way to go south. Because it is located in a fortress, Dongliu Town is as prosperous as Xiqi, and there is a night market all night for guests to enjoy. But now ......"

Yun Pingqiu's face was serious: "Have you noticed that there is no sound around at all." ”

Tang Yan instinctively looked at Cheng Huan.

"Whatever he is, let's go see it. Cheng Huan stretched her waist, and the inky black belt outlined her slender waist.

Tang Yan was a little scared, but when he thought about it, Cheng Huan and Yun Pingqiu were there, and he was half relieved.

From the top of the mountain down to the town, sure enough, there was no one to see all the way.

There are still wooden signboards hanging at the entrance of Dongliu Town, and the streets are empty, and the shops on both sides are closed.

It's as if everyone has disappeared.

Tang Yan subconsciously hid behind Cheng Huan: "Master, this looks like a ghost town." ”

"Ghosts are scary to me?" Cheng Huan asked.

Tang Yan thought about it seriously, it was really the truth, and he couldn't help but straighten his waist: "Our master is the most terrifying. ”

Cheng Huan unconsciously stood at the front of everyone.

Wei Zhi followed behind her, playing with gold coins with great interest, and didn't seem to care about the things around her.

Ling Xiao half-hung on Yun Pingqiu's shoulder, dragging Yun Pingqiu's arm.

Yun Pingqiu lowered his eyes and looked over, and Ling Xiao immediately showed a pale and weak face: "Senior Brother Yun, people are afraid. ”

"......" Yun Pingqiu gritted his back teeth and looked away.

Tang Yan showed half of his head from behind Cheng Huan and looked around: "Won't all the people here leave?"

"Just knock on it. Yun Pingqiu said, strode forward, found a shop, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The sound of empty knocks on doors echoed around, looking eerie and permeating.

Tang Yan touched the goosebumps that he unconsciously raised, and lowered his voice: "No one." ”

Yun Pingqiu knocked a few more in a row but did not respond.

Cheng Huan looked around and suddenly walked to the inn on the side.

She was not as polite as Yun Pingqiu, and kicked directly towards the door.

Tang Yan couldn't help but say, "There shouldn't be anyone hereβ€”rightβ€”"

The door fell, and a skinny face appeared behind the counter, looking coldly at it.

Tang Yan jumped between Yun Pingqiu and Ling Xiao and screamed, "Ghost, !!!!!!"

Wei Zhi was attracted by his screams, glanced up, and lowered his head to play with the gold coins.

Cheng Huan sneered, strode into the inn, touched a silver ingot and put it on the counter, and said loudly: "Stay in the hotel." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Cheng Huan's voice, he didn't raise his head, and his voice was hoarse as if he had been crushed by a boulder: "How many?"

"Why don't you look up yourself?" Cheng Huan said.

The shopkeeper raised his head slowly, his movements were extremely slow, even a little stiff and jerky, and a pair of eyes fell on Cheng Huan for a while, and then looked at the people behind him, and slowly spoke: "Four people, four official silver." ”

Tang Yan couldn't help but step forward and wanted to speak, but Yun Pingqiu grabbed him and gave him a look.

"Okay. Cheng Huan directly grabbed a large handful of money and threw it on the cabinet.

Tang Yan was taken aback by his skillful domineering like a gentleman.

He only knew that the master was very good at beating people, but he didn't expect that spending money would be so powerful.

The shopkeeper looked at it: "It's too much." ”

Cheng Huan withdrew his hand: "Make some food and bring it up, as soon as possible, I'm hungry." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the shopkeeper's nod, she walked straight to a table in the middle of the living room.

Wei Zhi followed behind her, and the rest of the people also sat down at the table in turn.

Tang Yan was still thinking about the four stools, where to sit by himself, when he saw Wei Zhi's glasses sitting beside Cheng Huan without blinking.

The movements are so familiar that it seems as if I have sat countless times.

There was a clanging sound from the back kitchen, Tang Yan listened with his ears pricked up for a while, and couldn't help his scalp tingling: "This person is not only blind, but he can't even cook, how can anyone cook like murder." ”

The sound of a big knife slicing through bones was unbearable.

Ling Xiao glanced at the back kitchen lightly: "Maybe it's killing someone." ”

Tang Yan's smile froze for a moment: "Isn't it?"

Ling Xiao looked at him with a smile.

Tang Yan was a little lacking in confidence by him, and subconsciously looked at Cheng Huan: "Master?"

"Huh?" Cheng Huan lowered his head and poured Wei Zhi a cup of tea.

Wei Zhi frowned in disgust, and after a while, he took out a dark brown tea cake from his arms and put it on the table.

Tang Yan's eyes suddenly straightened: "Isn't this Master's tea?!"

Wei Zhi looked innocent.

Cheng Huan took out a pinch of tea leaves a little helplessly, put it in the cup, and then took the kettle next to him, heated it with a charm, and made tea for Wei Zhi.

Decades-old tea cakes are wrapped in hot water, and the originally closed tea leaves slowly stretch out to reveal an emerald green luster.

A strong aroma of tea wafted out of the cup.

Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Good tea." ”

Yun Pingqiu couldn't help but look at the tea cake, although he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Cheng Huan looked at the two of them, and the corners of his mouth grinned: "Let's say okay first, there is no problem with drinking, but this tea is the tea that my master gave to my daughter-in-law." ”

After speaking, Cheng Huan looked at the two meaningfully.

Ling Xiao immediately withdrew his hand, sighed, and looked at Yun Pingqiu: "Do you have any daughter-in-law tea at home?"

Yun Pingqiu's body stiffened slightly: "No." ”

When Wei Zhi heard his daughter-in-law's tea, he didn't even blink his eyelids, just picked up the teacup and drank it by himself.

Water vapor covered his facial features, setting off his face more and more handsome.

Tang Yan looked at Wei Zhi silently through the mist, trying to connect him with the senior brother in his impression.

It's a pity that Cheng Huan didn't mention Wei Zhi to him much.

"Tang Yan, what are you looking at?" Cheng Huan's voice suddenly sounded.

Tang Yan met his smiling expression, retracted his gaze in a panic, and stammered, "Master, I was thinking about the shopkeeper just now." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Huan paused: "He's a little old, I'm afraid it's not suitable for you." ”

Tang Yan was stunned for a while before he realized what Cheng Huan meant, and couldn't help blushing: "No! It's not that I think! I mean, he's weird, I'm afraid he doesn't have a good heart." ”

"How?"

"Just now, when Master asked him to see for himself how many of us were, he was obviously one of the few, a half-blind man with not very good eyes, but he could still cook. Tang Yan gestured: "Where is the truth that a blind man can cook." ”

Cheng Huan unhurriedly added hot tea to Wei Zhi: "Maybe he didn't count wrong." ”

This time it was Tang Yanfa's turn to be stunned: "But there are five of us here." ”

As he spoke, Tang Yan raised his hand and counted back and forth several times, and suddenly, his body stiffened, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Could it be that we have someone here...... Is it the ghost?!"

Yun Pingqiu: "......"

Ling Xiao: "......"

Wei Zhi calmly continued to drink tea.

Cheng Huan raised his hand and patted Tang Yan's shoulder, revealing a kind smile: "Think slowly." ”

Tang Yan was suddenly not calm.

He wanted to say something, but the shopkeeper came over with the food, and Tang Yan had to bite the words in his stomach between his teeth, and it took a lot of effort to control himself not to look at the shopkeeper.

But the human body is always weird, and the more you don't want to do anything in your head, the more your body will be out of control.

Tang Yan watched with a look of horror as the man served the food.

The shopkeeper put a bowl in front of Cheng Huan.

Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Master is not a ghost.

The shopkeeper put a bowl in front of Wei Zhi and Ling Xiao again.

Tang Yan gasped.

In this way, Yun Pingqiu is ...... Ghost?

Tang Yan almost used all his courage to keep himself from jumping up screaming immediately.

He looked at Yun Pingqiu tremblingly, Yun Pingqiu seemed to notice his gaze, and turned his head sideways to show him a grim smile.

The whole face was glowing with an abnormal ghostly aura.

Tang Yan's legs trembled, and just as he was about to jump up, the shopkeeper put the bowl in front of Yun Pingqiu.

"Thank you. Yun Pingqiu nodded.

After the shopkeeper finished serving, he retreated.

Tang Yan's back broke out in a cold sweat, he stared at the empty piece in front of him, his teeth chattered: "Master......"

Cheng Huan looked over.

Tang Yan laughed more ugly than crying: "I, I, I'm so scared." ”

Without waiting for Cheng Huan to speak, Tang Yanxu continued to chatter: "How did I become a ghost?

Cheng Huan didn't expect that the phrase "think slowly" made Tang Yan think so much, and she rubbed her eyebrows with a little headache: "I just posted a talisman behind you." ”

Tang Yan's mind was a little overwhelmed, and after a long while, he whispered, "And then?"

Cheng Huan had already focused on the meal.

Yun Pingqiu saw her move the chopsticks, so she followed.
