"I dived into the water again and again, my heart was cold little by little, until I had no strength in my body, and then I lay down in the cabin, weeping bitterly and looking at the starry sky..." "After that, I could no longer live in the cave, so I brought my two children back to the Mantis tribe and raised them in the tribe. Every year at this time, I will come here, sing Wei Ziying's favorite songs by the lake, and tell her about the growth of the children, I know that she will definitely be able to hear and see..."

"That's... Is Sister Wei Ziying really dead... I wish she hadn't died..."You Boyun asked with a small face.

Geng Buqu patted his heart and replied seriously: "She is not dead, she will always be with us." With that, he smiled and turned his face to look at Lin Feng and the others. "It's not too early, it's been a long time, it's time for us to go back to our room to rest, thank you really for your patience to listen to my story. ”

Xiao Sheng said: "If you don't dislike it, you and the children will stay here for one night, they are asleep in the room, don't wake them up." We booked three rooms, and I slept with Sang Jia and Yi. ”

"It's... All right. Geng Buqu agreed, "I'll go and take off the baggage upstairs." With that, he left the door.

Lin Feng was puzzled: "What are you?"

Xiao Sheng said: "The shopkeeper already knows that they have eaten and drunk with us, and if there are really people from the Ao Ling clan who track them down, they will definitely not be able to get out of it." In this case, it is better to let them sleep comfortably here, and everyone will take care of what happens at night. ”

Lin Feng listened to what he said reasonably, so he didn't object. In fact, after listening to Geng Buqu's story, he had already made up his mind that if their father and son were really implicated because of him, he would definitely not stand idly by.

At midnight, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was pouring rain outside the window, and the sound of the rain mixed with whimpering blew down on the Thousand Wailing Dock and the Divine Heart Lake. The whimpering grew louder and more desolate, and everyone could hear it, it was a cry! The cry lasted for a short time, and then it turned into a frightened howl and an angry roar, which made people feel terrified to hear. After a while, the wind and rain died down, the sound stopped, and the Thousand Crying Dock returned to tranquility, but the night was thicker.

"Knock knock..."There was a quick knock on the door. A man in the lobby of the inn got up and asked, "Who?"

Loud voices rang out outside the door. "Hurry up and open the door, or I'll smash your door..." "Yes, yes, yes, we live in a hotel, upper, middle and lower, any room can be..."

The man who was keeping vigil in the lobby came to the door and opened a small wooden window on the door to look out. There were eight or nine men standing outside the door, the first of whom was wearing a silk green coat, and it was the group of strongmen who had been driven away before. The man who kept the night watch, the son of the old man at the inn, had already heard from his wife about the evening when he came back in the evening, so he did not open the door.

But the gang just knocked on the door "bang, bang, bang", some scolded, some persuaded, and some shouted, and the crowd was full of voices for a while.

Suddenly, there was a "crunch", and someone opened the door of the inn from the inside, and he was holding a black sword on his back and his face was solemn at the door.

Outside the door, everyone immediately shut up, and some even took two steps back. The man in green silk had already bandaged the wounds on his hands and legs at this time, and walked forward with a smile on his face. Geng Buqu drew his sword and pointed it at the bridge of his nose, and said coldly: "Do you want to sneak attack again?"

The man in green clothes waved his hand again and again and said: "Hero, strong man, I know it's wrong, I'm not human, I deserve to die, I beg the hero to be kind and save the lives of our brothers..." His subordinates immediately threw all their weapons to the ground. The man in the green silk shirt also untied his sleeve arrow and dagger and raised it respectfully above his head.

"Hmph, you can't let them in. You Boyun's voice carried a little anger, and she walked up to Geng Buqu and said, "They deserve it!"

"I'll ask them. Xiao Sheng also walked over, looked at the man in green silk clothes and said, "What did you mean by saving your life just now?"

The man in green silk hurriedly said: "I want to teach you heroes to know that we are from the Chuang Zi clan, and we usually do some sneaky things, but today we are obsessed with money, and we don't know the sea, and we have provoked all the heroes..."

"I didn't ask you this, to be honest, what happened?"

The corner of the man in green silk twitched, "Yes... Yes... I wonder if you've ever heard of that legend?"

You Bo Yunqi said: "What legend?"

The man in green silk said: "The legend of the bloodthirsty devil is sealed in the mountains west of Shenxin Lake. ”

You Boyun's voice changed a little, and he said angrily: "You... Liar, the mother-in-law in the inn said it was fake, it was a rumor!"

The man in green silk clothes said again and again: "Yes, yes, we thought it was just a rumor, but tonight... You've heard that, too... The screams were terrifying... We are timid, and we usually do some small things, but we really don't dare to sleep outside, so we ask a few heroes to be kind, and let us spend one night in the inn. ”

"Little deed?" Xiao Sheng looked at the man in green silk with cold eyes and said, "I think you dare to do anything for money!"

The man in green silk sneered and said, "How dare you, how dare you, we..."

Geng Buqu interrupted him and said: "You can come in if you want, hand over all the things on your body to me for temporary safekeeping, I will tie you up with a rope, and send it to the Hudong Aoling Royal Clan Guards tomorrow to confess your sins and Fu Fa, how about it?"

The group of people was stunned, and their eyes were full of anger. The man in green silk squinted his eyes, breathing heavily in his nose, but he still stomped his feet and said, "Okay~"

Geng Buqu said: "In this case, shopkeeper, please go find some ropes, and make them stronger." As he spoke, he took the dagger and sleeve arrow in the hand of the man in green silk and let the group of people into the front hall.

"Hand over everything you've got on you. You Boyun pressed the hilt of his sword to prevent them from attacking at any time. However, they were very obedient, took out all the belongings on their bodies, and honestly let Geng Buqu and Xiaosheng tie their hands.

Xiao Sheng said: "Find a larger room on the first floor, bring them and their belongings, and I will guard them there tonight." ”

Geng Buqu said: "Since I agreed, let me guard them, anyway, I can't sleep, don't you have to rush tomorrow?"

Xiao Sheng said: "What about Xia'er and Mi'er?"

Geng Buqu said: "It doesn't matter, they can take care of themselves." ”

Xiao Sheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, we will help you take care of the child, if there is anything down there, just shout at any time." As he spoke, he casually flipped through the group's belongings. In addition to dozens of taels of silver and various weapons, there was also a coarse cloth package. When the package was opened, there was a burning stick the thickness of a small arm.

It's just that it's a burning stick, because it's charred all over its body, as if it has been repeatedly roasted by fire, there are no lines, and you can't tell what kind of wood it is, but it feels very old.

"What is this?" asked the man in green silk.

The man in green silk said: "This... This is something that my ancestors have passed down from generation to generation, and I don't know what it is. ”

Xiao Sheng said: "You don't know why you have to carry it with you." ”

The man in green silk clothes smiled and said, "Uh... I heard my ancestors say that carrying it can drive away evil and prosper wealth, so I take it with me. ”

After a closer look, he couldn't see anything unusual, so he wrapped it up with the other items. The three of them led the gang to a large room on the first floor. It is a stone chamber, empty in the middle, with a row of stone slabs on each side.

Geng Buqu asked the Chuang Zi clan to sit separately on the stone bed, tied their feet, and stood guard at the door with an ice and iron sword on his back. Xiao Sheng asked the shopkeeper to warm up some wine and food, and personally sent Geng Buqu over, and after everyone talked a few words, Xiao Sheng and You Boyun went back to their rooms to rest.
