The three of them followed a crystal clear stream into the tribe, and on each side of the stream was a stone-paved path, which connected the scattered huts, which were roofed with thatched roofs and walls covered with yellow mud, each of which was not very large, with round doors and windows.

"There. He pointed to a big house in the distance and said, "That's the inn." ”

Lin Feng and You Boyun looked and saw a wooden building leaning against a dirt slope, seven or eight stories high, with the roof and the top of the slope basically flush, as if it had grown out of the soil slope. It faces a wide royal blue lake in front of it, a flat sand as white as snow to its right, and a gravel road for four horses on the left side of the beach, and a spacious front yard of the inn at the end of the road.

The three of them walked along the stone road to the inn, only to see that it flew up, hung pavilion, long hole, shallow depression, all of which have their own forms, which can meet the different accommodation needs of guests of various tribes. It's just that now the buildings are sparsely populated, the candles are still cold, and the huge place seems to be extremely quiet and lonely.

"Same at the inn. Looking at the plaque, Lin Feng became a little excited, "Such an old-fashioned inn makes me feel so good." ”

The three of them entered the inn, and the spacious hall was full of all kinds of wooden tables and chairs, round and square, long, short, high and short, all neatly and neatly, although some old and dilapidated, but they were spotlessly clean. On the right side of the inn gate there is a door to the back hall and a staircase to go upstairs, and on the left is a vermilion lacquer counter three meters long and one meter high. There are rows of palm-wide wooden shelves on the outside of the counter, which are convenient for guests to temporarily put their luggage, and the lower part is engraved with four words, but it is not the words "Rijin Doujin" and other words commonly used in shops, but "always with prayer". There are also seven or eight wooden signs hanging above the counter, with the names of dishes and prices written on them, and one of the largest is the price of various types of housing. In addition, there is another sentence engraved on the counter table: If you pay for money, please ask the shopkeeper.

Behind the counter, there was a row of Taishi chairs, and an old man of sixty years old sat reclining on the back of the chair and sleeping deeply. He had a half-white beard, a round face, a loose-fitting garment of bright colors, and seven black dots on his forehead.

"Shopkeeper's. He patted the counter, "We're going to stay in the hotel." ”

The old man woke up suddenly, and quickly stood up, smiling professionally. "Yo, three guest officers, do you want to be sharp or stay in the hotel. ”

"We're going to stay in the hotel and get us three standard rooms. He replied, "Be quiet enough." ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "We are quiet enough here now, I want to think back then..."

Xiao Sheng immediately interrupted the old man's words, "Take us to the guest room now, we are tired, the food will be delivered directly to the room, as long as there is one, each of them will be sent over." ”

In order to rush in the past few days, Lin Feng and the three of them have not eaten anything decent, and when they arrived at the inn today, it seems that they want everyone to recover their strength.

The old man hurriedly took the silver handed by the child and shouted in the direction of the back hall: "Sanzi, the guest is here, quickly bring the distinguished guest to the room." ”

"Okay!" A childish voice came from the back hall, followed by a teenage boy, wearing a clear coarse cloth clothes, and holding a sandbag-like plaything in his hand. He took three bronze oil lamps from the counter, nodded respectfully, and said, "Three masters, please." ”

Lin Feng and the three of them followed the little boy to the second floor. The little boy opened the door of a room and said, "Three masters, are you satisfied?"

It is a two-room room with a small living room with chairs and tables at the entrance, and the living room is connected to an open-air balcony from which you can clearly enjoy the beautiful view of the lake of the gods. The balcony used to be a bedroom, and I had a triple bed with a wardrobe, recliner, luggage rack and other things next to the bed, and a small room on the side with a washer, clothes rack and bathtub.

"Where's the toilet?" Lin Feng asked the child.

"What toilet?" the child looked at Lin Feng with a surprised expression, probably few guests were dissatisfied with the equipment of the standard upper room.

"Well, it's a thatched house. Lin Feng thought for a while and said.

The child immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, the thatched houses are all on the first floor." ”

Lin Feng said: "Then let's live on the first floor." ”

The child said: "The first floor is relatively damp, and most of the rooms are built for the Xuanju people who are used to living underground, and the rooms are relatively small, do you really want to live?"

When Lin Feng heard this, he hurriedly said: "Forget it, let's live here and take us to see the other two rooms." ”

The boy then opened the two rooms next to him, which were in the same layout and layout as the previous one. The little boy said, "If the three masters are still satisfied, I will go down to prepare the meal." ”

The boy nodded, and the boy left the bronze lamp in the room, saluted and left.

Xiao Sheng said: "Let's eat first, and when we go to bed, we will all live in the innermost room, and I will lay a small pulse in the first two rooms, in case anything happens, my copper bell will warn." After dinner I will go down to inquire about the ferry, and you can go to the inn to see if there are any other ways to escape in case of emergency. Tomorrow morning, let's leave by boat as soon as possible. Lin Feng and You Boyun agreed.

In a short time, a woman and an old woman brought food in a food box. You Boyun suddenly asked the old woman who was still serving food from the food box, "Mother-in-law, I heard that you hear people crying at night here, is it true?"

The old woman was also fifty or sixty years old, and her round face looked red in the light. She first glanced at You Boyun, and then quickly avoided her gaze and said, "Those words are all lies, little girl, they are all rumors." ”

You Boyun looked at Xiao Sheng, and asked the old woman again, "Then did anything strange happen here before?"

The old woman's face stiffened obviously, and then said: "The little girl doesn't dare to talk nonsense, those are all rumors from outsiders... You eat slowly, and we'll clean up the dishes later. ”

The old woman and the woman hurriedly set up the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the empty food box and walked out of the room. The woman seemed to be muttering to herself, "Why is Sanzi so slow, let him go and get a firefly lamp, I haven't brought it yet, I'm afraid it's not because I'm playing again, I have to urge him." ”

Xiao Sheng waited for the two to leave, and ate a few bites of food first. You Boyun wanted to eat, but was stopped by Xiaosheng, "If I don't have any bad reaction for a while, you can eat again." ”

Only then did You Boyun understand what he meant, swallowed his saliva, and finally suppressed his urge to enjoy a hot meal and his dissatisfaction with eating alone.

After a while, the three of them were feasting, and suddenly there was an ethereal sound of the hole flute outside the balcony, followed by a rich male voice singing in unison:

"Submersible Silver,

Tracing the waves and sinking gold.

100 zhang Pingshui Qingjiang,

The smoke and snow of the void are long.

Still and still,

Movement and stillness,

Heartbreak~"

The tone of the song is simple and elegant, the lyrics are lofty, and Lin Feng and the three of them can't help but be curious. Xiao Sheng was the first to put down the dishes and chopsticks and came to the balcony to look out, and then Lin Feng and You Boyun also came over.

The sound was coming from upstairs, and judging by the faint light from the window, it was a room on the top floor.

After a while, the sound of the song gradually fell silent, and then there was a faint cry of "Boom..."

A trace of horror appeared on You Boyun's face, "There are really crying!"

Xiao Sheng said: "It shouldn't be this kind of crying, this sound is like a child's crying, let's eat first, I'll go down and ask the boss in a while, see who lives upstairs." ”

The three of them then returned to their seats and continued to eat, and after a few bites, they heard the sound of chaotic footsteps downstairs, and then several men's voices shouted: "Boss come out, boss come out." ”

Lin Feng and the others immediately pricked up their ears. I heard the old man's voice: "Yo, please sit inside, please sit inside, the little old man went to eat in the back hall just now, how many of them are sharp..."

A fierce voice said: "What's the matter, what else can you do at such a late hour, immediately prepare seven standard rooms for the masters." ”

The old man said: "I'm sorry guest officer, there are guests upstairs today, and there are only five rooms left in the standard upper room, or you can make do with opening two more medium rooms..."

"What are you talking about! Lao Tzu today..."The fierce voice was about to go crazy, but it seemed to be interrupted by someone again.

A proud voice said: "That's it, sir, I'm happy today, I'll pay double the price, how about you go and let them move a room?"

The old man was puzzled: "This can't be done, those customers have already paid, our shop..."

The fierce voice sounded again: "Damn, toast and don't eat and drink, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will demolish your broken shop now..."

Xiao Sheng said to Lin Feng: "I'll go and see the situation, you eat first." ”

Where was You Boyun willing to let go of such a bustle, and he had to go out with him, the two quietly went out, hid at the corner of the stairs, and secretly observed the situation downstairs.
