After the proprietress personally served the wine and food, she was reluctant to leave, sat opposite Yang Xiaotian, and chatted with Yang Xiaotian without a match.

Yang Xiaotian happened to have something to think about and couldn't understand, so he chatted with her.

"It's been a long time since we've had such a handsome young man in this place. ”

The proprietress stared at Yang Xiaotian and Xu Lao Banniang, smiling.

Yang Xiaotian almost thought that this woman had something to think of him, but fortunately he knew in his heart that this woman was nothing, maybe she was spicy and difficult on weekdays, maybe it was just a catharsis for the life of the dog's day.

"Eldest sister, I think this is just the time to eat, why is business so cold?" Yang Xiaotian asked.

The proprietress sighed before saying, "It's been a long time since I've been in this situation. ”

"Why is that?"

The proprietress stopped talking, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the bookkeeper who was burying his head in the abacus.

Yang Xiaotian could see that she was jealous of the bookkeeper, so he said, "That gentleman, why don't you come over and have a few drinks!"

The bookkeeper still didn't raise his head, waved his hand and said, "Please take care of yourself, don't worry about me." ”

When the proprietress heard this, she seemed to have acquiesced to it, opened the floodgates, and said, "This little brother, I don't think you are an ordinary person, why did you come to a small place like ours?"

Yang Xiaotian lowered his voice and said: "Eldest sister, let me tell you, don't make a noise, in fact, my sister and I came out this time to go to relatives, and I also bought this long sword on my back in a small village not long ago, and spent three taels of silver with a blacksmith, just to make a show, hoping to scare off those villains, just bluffing!"

The proprietress nodded and said softly: "So that's the case, I thought that the little brother was a young chivalrous man who walked the rivers and lakes, and I was still thinking in my heart, how could I not have heard anything about our side of things, and I actually sent it to the door!"

Yang Xiaotian asked, "But I don't know what strange things are happening here?"

The proprietress swallowed back the words to her lips and said, "Forget it, it's better not to tell you, it's not good for you to listen." ”

Yang Xiaotian doesn't care, when he comes to this place, although the people here seem to be barely able to live and work in peace, but everyone seems to be smiling, and he can't hide the indignation in his heart, and occasionally it will be revealed at the corner of his eyebrows and mouth.

Yang Xiaotian originally thought that if the proprietress was willing to reveal it, if there was really any trouble here, he would be happy to help.

Even if she doesn't want to reveal who called her encounter, she has to find out by all means.

Yang Xiaotian was about to change the topic, but he knew that Su Shu had just been aroused by the boss's curiosity, but the woman did not go down.

"What's so strange, why bother, I think it's just to arouse people's curiosity. ”

The proprietress is a hot person, and when she heard it, she shouted: "What are you talking about!"

Yang Xiaotian hurriedly became a peacemaker, smiling and saying no.

The woman said, "Forget it, for your brother's sake, I don't care about you." ”

Yang Xiaotian suddenly whispered: "Eldest sister, you have something sad!"

The woman was stunned, but he saw it, but she smiled and said, "What's the matter, you are wrong!"

Yang Xiaotian said: "Eldest sister, don't hide it from me, I was very accurate when I was a child." ”

The proprietress sighed, shook her head, and did not speak.

Yang Xiaotian said: "Eldest sister, it doesn't hurt for you to listen to me, anyway, I will leave after eating, and I won't stay here longer, and you don't have to be afraid of me talking everywhere." ”

The proprietress sighed and said, "Mine is known here from far and near, where will I be afraid of you going around to talk about it." ”

Su Shu saw the dissatisfaction of the proprietress, and said softly: "Eldest sister, if you have any difficulties, just talk to us, one person counts the short, and the other counts the long, maybe we can help you think of a way." ”

The proprietress smiled at Su Shu this time, thought for a while and said: "In the past, we were quite prosperous here, and there is a mountain behind it, called Luoxia Mountain, which is a holy place for playing. ”

"My family not only opened an inn, but my husband also often acted as a guide for those guests who came to earn some rewards. ”

Su Shu asked, "Eldest sister, what about your family?"

As soon as Su Shu spoke, Yang Xiaotian knew what she wanted to ask, and was about to signal her not to ask, but seeing that she had already spoken, he didn't say anything more.

The corners of the proprietress were filled with tears, and Su Shu mentioned the sad thing in one sentence, saying, "My husband, daughter, and son are all missing!"

It can be seen that Yang Xiaotian and Su Shu are a little unbearable.

After a long time, when the proprietress calmed down, Yang Xiaotian asked, "Is that still the time?"

"The third day of March!"

"What day is today?" Yang Xiaotian has been in the dust lately, and he can't remember the time.

"The fifth day of August!"

"Ahh

But it was Su Shu who screamed.

Yang Xiaotian asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Shu said: "I came out of the house at the end of February, how did the time pass so much, it was the fifth day of the eighth month all of a sudden!"

It turned out that she had been in the valley for almost half a year.

Seeing that Su Shu was no longer talking, the proprietress continued: "I remember that on the third day of the third month of March, two guest officers came to the store, just like the little brother and sister, but also for young men and women. The two of them are gorgeously dressed, looking at the young man's style, he is either an official eunuch or a rich son. My husband and I must have received him warmly, and at the end, the young man said that he wanted to go to Luoxia Mountain to play, that is, he went out for the first time, and he was afraid of getting lost, so my husband said: I can lead the way for my son. The young man said, "That's what you can't ask for." ”

"After my husband packed his things, he was going to take them to Luoxia Mountain, who knew that my daughter and son would also follow, who knows, just like that, they went and never came back. ”

"After a few days, I saw that they had not returned, and I thought that the young man said that it was the first time he went out, maybe he was fascinated by the scenery of Luoxia Mountain, and it was possible that he was reluctant to come back. My husband has also tried to stay in the mountains for ten days and half a month. Who knew that after another whole month, I still didn't see them come back, so I began to worry, so I closed the inn and went to Luoxia Mountain to see what was going on. When I arrived at Luoxia Mountain, I was scared to death. ”

Su Shu couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

The proprietress said with a pale face: "Luoxia Mountain, which was originally fragrant with birds and flowers and charming scenery, has become a desolation. I was afraid that I would stay alone in the mountains for a few days, and I would search everywhere, but I could not find a single figure, and I did not give up, and stayed in the mountains for several days, but I still could not find my husband and children, and finally I could only go down the mountain alone with hesitation. ”

The proprietress was already in tears.

Su Shu saw that she was miserable, so she couldn't bear to say, "Big brother, you can help her!"

When the proprietress heard this, her eyes lit up, but it dimmed for a moment, and said: "Little sister, I am very grateful to you for having this heart, I don't want to harm you, there was also a young swordsman last month, I don't know what happened to you from you, found me, said that you would go up the mountain to help me find my husband and children, who knew that I didn't come back as soon as I went." Yesterday, I heard that someone was passing by Luoxia Mountain and saw a young man hanging himself from a tree with a long sword in his chest, and I suspected that it was the young swordsman who was about to go up the mountain to collect his body. ”

Yang Xiaotian asked, "Eldest sister, where is this Luoxia Mountain you are talking about?"

The proprietress thought that he also wanted to learn from the young swordsman, and went to Luoxia Mountain to find her husband and children for herself, and hurriedly said, "Little brother, you can't go!"

Yang Xiaotian smiled: "I didn't think about going, but I heard what the eldest sister said was so scary, I was thinking that it would be better for me to take a detour, and I didn't dare to go to such a scary place." ”

The proprietress is actually not bad-hearted, and when she heard this young man talk like this, she didn't blame him for being cowardly, but smiled: "I'm relieved, I can't go to that place." ”

"Eldest sister, I will take care of it, and you will tell me where Luoxia Mountain is. ”

Su Shu guessed Yang Xiaotian's thoughts, and also said, "Eldest sister, you tell us." ”

The proprietress said: "There is a river fifty miles straight out of my shop, and you can't go far along the river to Luoxia Mountain." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Xiaotian had already taken the silver taels and put them on the table.

The proprietress looked at him in surprise.

Yang Xiaotian said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from the eldest sister, in fact, I have the courage to laugh, listening to what you said is so scary, let's leave quickly." ”

After speaking, he pulled Su Shu out of the inn, and the speed was like someone chasing and cutting with a knife behind him.

The proprietress shook her head with a wry smile and sighed: "She looks so handsome and has a sweet mouth, but she didn't expect her guts to be so small." ”

After receiving the cashier, the two were about to go inside, when the bookkeeper flew over the counter, came to the side of the proprietress, slapped her to the ground with one palm, and scolded: "You have so many mouths, if you miss a big thing, you can't save your husband and children, don't blame me." ”

"I know I'm wrong!"

The proprietress struggled to her feet, wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, and staggered inside.

The husband and children are gone, I didn't expect to provoke this evil god, I said that there was a way to help myself find my husband and children, so a few months have passed, and I haven't seen him take action.

Under Yang Xiaotian's repeated requests, Su Shu no longer walked afloat, chased Yang Xiaotian in front of him, and said, "Brother Yang, are you planning to go to Luoxia Mountain?"

Yang Xiaotian smiled: "I can't hide anything from you." ”

"Actually, I originally wanted to start with the bookkeeper in the inn, but I was afraid that the proprietress would be affected, so I had no choice but to go to Luoxia Mountain first. ”

There are some things that Yang Xiaotian didn't say, that Mr. Bookkeeper is not a person!
