"Slow".

As soon as he took a few steps, a cold voice came from behind him. Xiao Qi's heart tightened, and he wanted to rush out of the lobby immediately, but he didn't move a step under his feet after all. "What tricks does this old ghost play?" "From seeing the old man Xiao Qi's heart was numb, "Although he is not a ghost, but he is definitely not a good type", Xiao Qi was worried in his heart, "What's more, this old man is not here to seek revenge from Daddy Liu and the proprietress in the middle of the night?", and then thought again, "Daddy Liu is kind, although the proprietress is pungent and sometimes offends people, but she will not come to seek revenge in the middle of the night."

Xiao Qiyi had no clue in his heart, but he had a thought: "If this old man is going to commit murder at this moment, I will rush to the backyard and shout, desperate for my cheap life, don't want to remind the shopkeeper and the proprietress to run away, and it can be regarded as repaying their kindness over the years." Thinking like this, Xiao Qi calmed down and slowly turned around, wanting to see what tricks this old man was going to play.

The old man looked at Xiao Qi coldly, stretched out his right hand again, and showed the small gold ingot, "Take the money" The old man said coldly.

"Oh... Oh..."Xiao Qi's heart was a little calm, but he didn't dare to reach out rashly to pick it up, and stood in place for a while.

"There is a small business in the store, but there is not so much cash to find you," Xiao Qi said in a sneer, "Or you owe it first, and rush to the town early in the morning to exchange it for you into silver, and it will not be too late for you to pay the bill."

"No need, it's all agreed, the old man will leave early tomorrow morning, you can take the money, and you don't have to look for it, it's the right to bother tonight", the old man's tone was still cold.

Xiao Qi was suspicious, slowly moved to the old man, and stretched out his hand to take the gold. When the gold was in his hand, Xiao Qi didn't feel happy at all, he only felt that the gold was like a lump of ice and cold.

The old man handed over the gold, didn't look at Xiao Qi again, and sat on the stool in the back by himself. When Xiao Qi looked again, he found that the old man had a blade hanging from his waist. It looks like a dart master's waist knife, but it is longer than a waist knife, and it looks like a swordsman's long sword, but it is a few inches shorter than a long sword. There were so many martial artists coming and going in the inn, but Xiao Qi had never seen such a blade, and he was at a loss for a while.

"I'm still stunned for what to do, why don't you go and prepare the food and drinks."

"Hey, you sit down a little bit, and the little ones will go." Xiao Qi ran to the kitchen as soon as he slipped away, and he had no idea, I don't know if tonight's things are good or bad, but it can be concluded that this old man is not coming to the inn, thinking of these Xiao Qi made up his mind: Don't alarm the shopkeeper and the proprietress first, I will talk around him until dawn, he will leave, and earn him this ingot of gold, and also make Daddy Liu and the proprietress happy; if he doesn't leave, he will be murderous in the store, and when the time comes, call the neighbors to come and help, and it will be easy to take him to see the official.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the fright he received at night was all scaring himself. But when I thought about it, I would have to see this cold zombie-like old man for a while, and I felt my heart pounding.

Xiao Qi played a drum in his heart, and thought about it while cutting cooked beef in the kitchen: This old man should not be coming to the inn, but he is also not good, and it is eerie and incomprehensible. Just thinking about it, I accidentally cut my finger and got blood on the beef.

"It's really unlucky, I know that it will be no good to meet the old man of the Dead Star" Xiao Qi thought angrily, and quickly put the cut finger in his mouth and sucked it, hissing in pain.

"Hey~ No way, it's stained with blood and change to a piece of cooked beef to cut it" and thought again, "Hmph! Just let him eat bloody beef, whether he is a human or a ghost, eat my Xiao Qi's blood, let him be exposed in his true form", Xiao Qi even forgot the pain of his fingers for a while, and was complacent about his "smartness".

After cutting the cooked beef, Xiao Qi warmed a pot of sorghum wine, took a plate with beef, and brought it to the lobby with the wine jug.

Looking at the white-haired old man sitting on the corner stool, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard someone slowly opening his eyes, he only glanced sideways, and Xiao Qi felt cold and uncomfortable.

"Your old cooked beef sorghum wine" small seven ways.

"Put it on the table," the old man was still cold.

"Well, you're always eating and drinking, I'll go clean up my house, and I'll live in my room tonight."

"No need, I'll just spend the night in the lobby."

"How can it be done, even if you always agree, your old gold ingots will not agree."

"I won't occupy your room, if you don't want to go, sit down and have a drink with the old man."

“......”

Xiao Qi never expected the old man to make such a request, thinking that Xiao Qi is also a good drinker, and he often gathers to eat a few glasses of wine at the table of a familiar martial artist, which is originally a common thing. But the thought of sitting and drinking with this cold corpse-like strange old man always had no bottom in my heart.

"Sit down" The old man poured himself two glasses of wine, didn't look at Xiao Qi, and raised his chin at the opposite seat.

Xiao Qi wanted to refuse, but the old man seemed to see through Xiao Qi's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Scared?"

Xiao Qi saw the old man's cold smile, and this smile was clearly disdain and disdain. Xiao Qiyi's blood surged, and his courage also returned by eight or nine points, only to feel that the heroic spirit in his heart rose spontaneously and then spread all over his body.

"Scared?!Little Qixia, I don't know how to write the word "scared" since I was born!" Xiao Qi blurted out, "I think this wine glass is too small, Xiao Qixia has always used a big bowl to drink."

This time it was the old man's turn, I don't know whether he was moved by Xiao Qi's sudden burst of pride, or choked by Xiao Qi's two words, turned his head and looked at Xiao Qi again from head to toe, as if he saw Xiao Qi for the first time, and looked at Xiao Qi's heart.

"Okay, good" The white-haired old man nodded slightly: "It's really a hero out of a teenager." "It's been a long time since anyone has said this to the old decay."

As soon as these two words of praise came out, Xiao Qi not only did not feel the slightest joy, but his heart was even more bottomless.

"Here, change the big bowl!" the old man's interest seemed to come up.

Now Xiao Qi is a bit of a six-god ownerless, and he doesn't know what to do for a while. But it has come to this, even if you bite the bullet, you can't lose your aura.

"Today, my little Qixia will give up his life to accompany the gentleman!" After saying that, Xiao Qi took two big bowls, moved a large jar of sorghum wine and put it on the table, and then sat opposite the white-haired old man.

"Good boy!" the old man was also interested, poured two bowls of wine, and drank one bowl at a time.

"Good wine! hahaha" A bowl of wine went down, and the old man seemed to be hot by the wine, and his expression and words were no longer cold.

Xiao Qi suddenly came to be arrogant, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Xiao Qi didn't feel the strength of the wine surging, his head began to be dizzy, and he didn't know how many bowls he had drunk, and he couldn't open his eyes when he lay on the table in a daze.

Suddenly, the white-haired old man spit on the table with a "wow", Xiao Qi supported himself to get up, ready to laugh at the old man's lack of alcohol, and then looked at the table, but saw that the white-haired old man spit out blood in one mouthful.

What's even more strange is that the old man's blood is not hot, but it is cold. On the other hand, the old man slowly fell backwards, unable to speak, and struggled to tear open the white robe on his body to expose his chest, and looked at it again, the old man's chest was black and swarthy with a palm print, which had indeed been hit by a person with high internal strength. Xiao Qiyi could see it for a while, thinking that this old man was also a strange person, if he was hit by this blow, he would definitely be killed on the spot, but he didn't expect this old man to be alive, but the situation was not very good.

Xiao Qi was suddenly confused, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, his mind is still bright, and he is quite chivalrous, and he knows that the most important thing at the moment is to save people.
