This is an extremely large maple forest.

It's autumn, and the maple leaves are red as if a flame is burning, and some of them are as red as blood.

The forest path is covered with falling maple leaves.

The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

It was a gorgeous carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man in white poked his head out and looked at the remnants of autumn.

This piece of blood red couldn't help but remind Luo Liangqiu of the disciple of the Tianyu Sect named Xu Zhaozhao.

I probably won't be able to touch her on this trip south.

Riding in a carriage like this, going to various famous mountains and rivers, famous cities, and terroir towns along the way, it is impossible to reach the territory near the Tianyu Sect in four months.

Tianyu Sect is in the southernmost part of Tiannan, and this trip route will pass through the Forest of Yongxia, but maybe you may meet Zhao Cai of the Golden Zen Sect.

It's getting late.

The carriage passed through the maple forest, and not far in front of it was a brightly lit town called Maple Leaf Town.

This is the first destination of Luo Liangqiu's long journey.

There is a maple street in Maple Town, as the name suggests, there is a maple tree on both sides of the street a few meters away with the wind, and the bright red maple leaves will fall and fall, which is also unique.

At this time in the world, it has passed August 15, and Maple Street is not the most lively time, but it is still full of traffic on this street.

The stalls on both sides are really selling everything.

Luo Liangqiu stepped on the street full of broken maple leaves, listening to the rustling sound and feeling very enjoyable.

As soon as I entered the street of Maple Street, there was a shelf on the left-hand side, with various masks hanging on it, although it didn't look like a blue-faced fang, fierce and vicious, but it looked faintly revealing a sense of evil.

The owner of the mask stall is not tall and, strikingly, has thick eyebrows.

At this time his face was very haggard and pale, but he smiled happily, because his business seemed to be very good, and many people bought his masks.

Luo Liangqiu looked at the mask very unpleasantly, and he felt awkward in his heart, but he didn't see any way in it, all because the mask was too ugly.

There is a rouge shop on the right hand, and there is a stall in front of the house, on which are some colorful small jars, small bottles, I heard that you can try it first.

Shen Liuyue's eyes straightened when she saw it, and she was interested in these things, and she couldn't walk for a while.

Luo Liangqiu looked at Xiao Liuyue's eyes full of longing, couldn't help but smile, and then walked into the rouge shop, specially picked out the best goods to buy, and bought all kinds of things.

This was happy for the shopkeeper, his mouth couldn't close, but he vigorously picked up the words of praise and said, what "Yushu Linfeng", "Graceful", "A Talent", Luo Liangqiu's jaw was about to rise to the sky.

At this time, the shopkeeper saw that Luo Liangqiu was buying something for a shy girl, and instantly caught the essentials, a "talented woman", directly said to Luo Liangqiu's heart, Shen Liuyue didn't even dare to raise her head when she listened to it, she was really ashamed.

But this is not everyone's joy, listening to these flatteries from the shopkeeper, Shen Ye is furious, but they can't tear down their shop, right?

When they left, Shen Ye became angry when he looked at the small gilt box given by the shopkeeper and scolded: "What an out-and-out snob." ”

After walking a few steps, Shen Liuyue looked to the right with the gilt box, which was a tea restaurant.

Looking at the second floor from below, you can see the candlelight on the second floor, and you can faintly see a storyteller in front of the case, and there are applauding people below, but I don't know what story he is telling.

Luo Liangqiu glanced at the front left, good guy, it was a green building.

Upstairs, there are Qing people stroking the piano to sing for the dancing girls, and the sheng songs are endless.

The girls who stopped at the door, all dressed up in flowers, wore one cooler than the other in this autumn night, and they didn't know whether it was cold or not.

There are those who send drunk guests out to be rubbed with oil and laugh, there are those who solicit customers to hook up with them, and there are those who look at the handsome men on the street and wave softly.

For example, this white-clothed boy Ge Luo Liangqiu.

Where has he ever seen such a scene, the clothes on the girls in front of him are as thin as cicada wings, and they are wearing less, it is really better not to wear them, their eyes are full of white flowers, and they really can't see that Luo Liangqiu Road will not leave, staring intently.

He suddenly understood what it meant to be choppy.

Shen Ye looked at his virtue, and really wanted to kick him to death with one kick.

Just as he was about to act, Xiao Liuyue next to him noticed Luo Liangqiu's appearance of dying, and when he looked at the woman on the other side of the Qinglou, it was simply unsightly, and they all beckoned to Luo Liangqiu at this time, and said, "Come on, son, come and play." ”

Shen Liuyue blushed instantly, and hurriedly pushed Luo Liangqiu forward, letting him leave this soul-seductive realm.

But Luo Liangqiu still turned back three times in one step, but the so-called lingering.

Luo Liangqiu's unproductive actions really made Shen Liuyue angry, so she ignored him directly and walked straight forward.

Luo Liangqiu saw that this was over, didn't he hurriedly catch up and make amends, saying things like "It's all because of curiosity" and "This is human nature" to excuse himself.

It's okay not to say this, as soon as she said this, Shen Liuyue's eyes turned red, and her pitiful appearance seemed to say: Senior Brother Luo, this is disgusting with my junior sister.

After that, Shen Liuyue's tears couldn't stop flowing out.

Seeing this, Shen Ye directly pressed Luo Liangqiu to the ground, and the people around him were startled, thinking that this was going to be a street crime, so they all stopped and looked curiously.

Shen Ye was stared at by so many people with the eyes of the wicked, and felt that something was wrong, so he dragged Luo Liangqiu up and walked out with Shen Liuyue.

The crowd dispersed before it was lively, and after a while, Maple Leaf Street returned to its previous appearance.

Luo Liangqiu kept apologizing to Shen Liuyue along the way and said no, Shen Liuyue didn't speak, just walked silently, until she walked almost halfway through this maple street, she slowly spoke, and said, "Don't do this next time." ”

Facing Shen Liuyue's magnanimity, Luo Liangqiu instantly felt that he was not a person, so he gently slapped himself twice, and then looked up to see that there was a tailor shop in front of him.

Thinking that before coming out, he promised Shen Liuyue to buy new clothes, and took this opportunity to lead her in.

After that, there was nothing to say, naturally it was to pick the best-looking, the best silk to customize clothes for Shen Liuyue.

After all, he's not bad for money.

When he wanted to measure himself during the period, Luo Liangqiu almost wanted to start it himself, but he was ruthlessly sanctioned by Shen Ye, and the seamstress who watched it couldn't help laughing.

Luo Liangqiu saw that Shen Ye's clothes were indeed a little old, so he said to him, "You want one too?"

Shen Ye snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, just when Luo Liangqiu thought that he would refuse and damage himself, he saw Shen Ye go straight into the inner room to measure himself.

Luo Liangqiu looked at his back and scolded with a smile: "Virtue." ”

Measure the size of the play, choose the cloth, according to the shopkeeper, the fastest will have to be made tomorrow afternoon, they are not in a hurry, after going out of the door and then go forward, the stalls on both sides are really selling any food, the three of them are dazzled, some of the food can not be named at all.

So the hungry three people were late from the street to the end of the street, and the one that ate was called a hearty one, and before they knew it, it was the second half of the night.

At this time, although the street was hung with lanterns and the moonlight, it was still bright, and the scattered vendors were closing their stalls, but it was obviously empty.

This is where Luo Liangqiu remembered to find a place to live.

Walking along this street, Luo Liangqiu only found an inn, and looked at it from a distance, a big signboard: the branches on the moon.

The name of this inn is also playful enough, and the façade is also big, so Luo Liangqiu and the others walked in.

The shopkeeper was in a half-asleep state behind the counter with his head on his lean, drowsy, when he suddenly heard a bang and the sound of someone knocking on the table, which woke him up at once.

He was taken aback, he was not in a hurry, nor was he annoyed, obviously he had experienced this kind of thing a lot, only to see the shopkeeper rub his eyes, put away the saliva that flowed out, and looked at a good-looking young man in white in front of him.

I saw the young man in white smile slightly, and said to him, "Shopkeeper, come to three first-class rooms." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he stretched his waist and pointed to the room number plate hanging on the wall, all of which were turned over, which meant that the room was full.

I only heard the shopkeeper say: "Don't talk about the superior room, the lower class room is gone, only the grass shed in the backyard can sleep people, just a penny of silver." ”

When Luo Liangqiu heard this, he instantly felt a little offended.

Who am I, Luo Liangqiu? How can I sleep in that kind of place?

So he proudly said, "I have a lot of money!"

The shopkeeper smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said: "If it's full, it's full, and you can't say that if you give me a hundred thousand taels of gold now, I'll drag the guests out of the room and drive them out, right?"

Luo Liangqiu frowned and said, "Could it be that this huge maple city is just your inn?"

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry, and slowly explained to him: "There is another one." ”

Luo Liangqiu hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

The shopkeeper crossed his arms, shook his head and smiled: "I said guest officer, if you want to go to that store, you might as well sleep on the street." In this bleak autumn night, no one can freeze to death, and he can save a life. ”

Luo Liangqiu became interested when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Oh, how can you say this?"

The shopkeeper then said: "You know the people who are messing with the rivers and lakes, right? Those people who lick blood on the tip of the knife, now the public security is not very good, and there is chaos everywhere, although those guys don't dare to act rashly on the surface, but secretly, those vicious people, for money and other things, whether you are old and weak, or women and children, they will do it." ”

Then he pointed to the door and continued: "I walked out of the street of Maple Leaf Street, and the inn that turned to the left was opened by a Jianghu person, and naturally all of them lived in Jianghu people, although there were ordinary people who lived there, but few came out alive." ”

The shopkeeper withdrew his hand, looked at Luo Liangqiu and the three of them for a while, and said: "It's not that the people in the rivers and lakes are all that kind of virtue, but those who go there are inevitably mixed, just like the three of you who have fine skin and tender meat, rush to the back, encounter hard stubble, and must not be eaten alive? ”

Listening to what the shopkeeper said, the inn could really be described as a Longtan tiger's den, but Luo Liangqiu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked, "The Jianghu man who opened the shop is also a wicked person?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and replied, "I don't know much about this, but I heard that he used to be quite prestigious, what kind of hero is it?"

Luo Liangqiu asked again: "Then doesn't he care about the murder of the people who live in the hotel?"

The shopkeeper closed his eyes, smiled again, and said, "Hey, what are the people of the rivers and lakes, they are just small fish struggling in the turbid waves." Those heroes want to get out of the mud without being stained, thinking that they are messengers representing justice, naively thinking that they can go to the end of the world with a sword by relying on a lonely bravery, and a dashing prodigal son who sweeps away the injustices in the world. ”

The shopkeeper said as he spoke, and there was suddenly more mockery in his tone: "The prodigal son has opened an inn and settled down, and he has settled down, and he has long been beaten back to reality by this ugly world that does not distinguish between black and white, and he is disheartened, so, who cares who in this world?"

Saying that, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand and handed it to Luo Liangqiu.

But for a long time, I didn't feel the touch of a penny of silver, and I didn't hear Luo Liangqiu's movements.

So he opened his eyes and found that the three young men were gone.

Shouldn't you really go to that inn?

The reason why the shopkeeper said the notoriety of that inn was to let Luo Liangqiu dispel his thoughts as soon as possible and hurry to check in.

But I really didn't expect Luo Liangqiu and the others to leave like this, if they really went to that inn, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger and a life of nine deaths?

But the shopkeeper did not chase out, caught up with Luo Liangqiu and the others, and stopped the bitter admonition, but lay down and continued to sleep.

As he said.

Who cares who in this world?
