Early the next morning, we bid farewell to General Zuo, Huang Zhutou and a group of garrisons set off for Chenzhou City, and Lin Nan and I rode out of the north gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

We went north along the Leijiang River, taking the official road fast, and we had already left the Chenzhou boundary in half a day.

After rounding a hill and sparsely populated, we slowed down and prepared to find a place to rest nearby.

When the sun is high, the cold cockroaches in the forest are crying lowly, the fallen leaves on the road are already very thick, and the horse's hooves step on it and sound a dull sound.

Baili Tu looked at me left and right, and exclaimed, "This human skin mask is so real, even I almost can't recognize Brother Gu." ”

When I left Chenzhou City, I told Shiqi my true identity and the reason why I wore a human skin mask. I originally wanted to keep it hidden, it was enough for Lin Nan and I to know, but it was still inappropriate to think about it, after all, if we want to go to Shaolin Temple together, it would be a bit rude to keep hiding these little things. But where there are other people, they still call me a shadow.

Shiqi didn't react much when she found out, she was blind, and it was the same for her whether I wore a human skin mask or not, and she was very flat when she said her real name, without any expression on her face. The Baili disciple was different, following me left and right and watching me all the way.

I smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Lin, this human skin mask was given to me by Brother Lin." ”

Baili said: "Brother Lin?"

I nodded and said, "Brother Lin was worried that I would be recognized by the disciples of the Giant Eagle Gate when I arrived in Hengzhou City, so he gave me this human skin mask. ”

Baili turned his head, looked at Lin Nan, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, is there anything else?" ”

Lin Nan is not good at horseback riding, and his face has already become pale after walking for a long time, and he is probably feeling uncomfortable in his stomach at this moment, covering his mouth and saying, "Brother Baili, you can't wear a human skin mask." ”

Baili said: "Why?"

Lin Nan said: "The human skin mask is too ...... Some small. ”

I laughed out loud, Shiqi also laughed lightly, Lin Nan said that the human skin mask is small, which means that Baili's face is too big, but Lin Nan said it tactfully, and he didn't say it directly.

Bailitu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Then there is time, Brother Lin will find me a big one, hehe." ”

We all laughed, Baili was upright, and only a few words could always make us laugh non-stop, and walking with him was indispensable for fun on the road. Gengzhi is upright, but we all know that Bailitu is not stupid.

I secretly glanced at Shiqi, she was covering her mouth and smiling softly, Ruyu's face was flushed, indescribably beautiful. This kind of beauty is innate, the beauty that emanates from the bones, and the natural beauty that does not need to be matched with clothes and rouge. However, she couldn't see me, and there was not a trace of color in her empty eyes. Perhaps, she has never seen her own appearance, and she may not be able to measure her beauty.

I couldn't help but feel a little lost, and the inexplicable emotions wrapped around my heart, and I took the reins lightly and walked a few steps forward.

At this time, Baili disciple shouted, "Brother Gu, look, there is a hotel there. ”

I sat up straight and looked ahead, only to see a house on the side of the road not far away, with a sign in front of the house with the words "entry and exit" written on it.

I smiled and said, "Let's go, just go in and rest." ”

As I spoke, I sneaked another glance at Shiqi, who had returned to normalcy and had no expression on her face.

We walked a few quick steps and dismounted at the door of this hotel, where the hotel guy led our horse aside, and there were no customers in the shop, only a shopkeeper.

As soon as I entered the hotel, I couldn't help but frown at the smell of strong alcohol. We found a place to sit down, and the shopkeeper, who was in his early forties, smiled and said, "A few guest officers, what kind of wine do you want to drink?"

I said, "Shopkeeper, just bother to serve us four bowls of tea, we don't drink." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This young man can't help it, our hotel only sells wine, not tea." We have a wide variety of wines, sweet and delicious, which is guaranteed to satisfy the guests. ”

I was stunned and said, "Don't sell tea?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Hui Shaoxia, that's exactly the case." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "What kind of wine do you have in the hotel?"

The shopkeeper pointed behind him and said, "Guest officer, please see, the wine in my hotel is here, just pick whatever you want." ”

His finger was pointing to dozens of large wine tanks on the wall, and there was a red paper pasted on the body of a row of large wine tanks outside, with the word "wine" written on it, and some small characters were written in the corner under the word wine, probably the name of the wine. When I entered the hotel, I saw these large vats.

Baili Tu looked at the wine vats and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, what kind of wine are you in this vat? ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "That's a lot." ”

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the wine jar and said: "I have wine syrup here, vegetarian wine, white wine, meat wine, village wine, community wine, color wine, village mash water liquor, Maochai liquor, muddy white wine, muddy white wine, if the guest officer wants to drink a little better, we also have a lot of good wine here, there are clear water autumn moon, jade pot spring, through the bottle of incense, there are also good official wine, and ......."

I couldn't help but be a little surprised. His small hotel is not very big, and he didn't expect that there would be so many types of wine here. I've seen the wine in ordinary inns, and there are only a dozen kinds of wine in inns with a little more variety, but this hotel is extraordinary, more than the wine in the town inn. No wonder it smells messy and messy.

The shopkeeper was still introducing the wine in the hotel, but I didn't have the heart to listen to it, and I was not interested in the best wine. I looked out the door, and saw the hotel guy sitting on the bench in front of the door, with some rope wrapped around his hand, and as if sensing my gaze, he turned his head to look at me, and smiled at me. The people in the mountains are very simple, and they rarely speak, most of the time they smile as simply as he did, and a smile contains too many things, which is worth a thousand words. I couldn't help but smile in return, and he stopped looking at it and continued to wrap the rope around his arm.

The cold cockroaches in the forest had stopped crying at some point, and the wind blew and blew away some of the smell of wine.

At this time, Lin Nan said with a smile: "In this case, this shopkeeper, we don't need water, just serve us four bowls of noodles." ”

Who knows, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "This guest officer can't help it, the villain has already said that the small shop only sells wine, and the rest of the tea and meals are not cooked." ”

I'm a little surprised that other restaurants sell wine and serve a plate of food to their guests, but this hotel only sells wine. But it's right to think about it, after all, this is a hotel, and the owner has the final say on what business he wants to do, and they don't do other business, which may also be the rule of this hotel.

But at this moment, Shiqi said quietly: "Childe, let's leave this place, maybe there will be a tea stall ahead." ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, then let's walk a little more and take a look at the front." Lin Nan and Baili disciple did not object, we stood up and walked out the door.

When we left the hotel, we were going to look for horses, but where could we find the horses on the tethered stakes next to the hotel?

I was shocked that the horse was gone!

I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and Baili Tu had already shouted at the hotel guy, "Where did you lead the horses I was waiting for?"

I saw that the guy turned his head to look at us, and suddenly smiled at us again, I only felt a chill behind me, and then looked at his smile, there was no more than half of the simplicity, but let me have a gloomy taste.

He didn't speak, but he was still unhurriedly wrapping the ropes in a circle, and I saw that what he was holding in his hand was the reins of our horses!

We finally sensed that something was wrong, and the faces of Baili Tu and Lin Nan had already dropped.

Baili stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "You little guy, if I ask you again, you can't hear me?"

The hotel guy still didn't talk to us, ignored us, and fiddled with the ropes as if we didn't exist.

Baili strode in front of the guy on the aisle, and scolded sharply: "You thief, can't you be deaf!"

As he spoke, his big hand grabbed the collar of the hotel guy, who knew that the guy's body withdrew slightly, and he could avoid the big hand of the Baili disciple, and his hands were on the bench, and the person had already turned over, and before he landed, he kicked the bench towards Bailitu.

Baili didn't move, but he waved one hand, gently and skillfully took the bench in his hand, and said with a smile: "It turns out that there are still two strokes in his hand." He grasped the bench with both hands and slammed it into the middle, and it snapped into pieces like rotten wood.

The guy at the shop looked lazy, stretched his waist, and then said, "It turns out that there are two strokes on my hands." ”

Then he yawned, stuck out his finger, nodded at us, and muttered, "One, two, three, four, huh? And a woman, tsk, that's interesting." ”

When he said, "There is another woman," I was already angry. His face is really unseen, we four living people are standing here, and he still has to count?

However, he is also very flexible. Baili Tu can fight with the mountain tiger, but this hotel guy can easily dodge Baili Tu's grasp, although I am angry in my heart, but I still look at this hotel guy differently, and there are some vague guesses in my heart.

The martial arts of a guy from the Wilderness Hotel are already so good, and the hotel shopkeeper is probably even more proficient, and even these two people are very likely to be sent by the mysterious person in the Cloud Villa.

But at this moment, Shi Qi suddenly said: "I didn't expect Your Excellency's light skills to be so high." ”

I was stunned and couldn't help but look at Shiqi. This hotel guy didn't perform light skills, just from the hand he turned over and got up, it could be judged that this person's light skills were very high, but I was afraid that there was some assumption.

The hotel guy didn't speak, but stood there looking at us with his waist straight, and it was at this moment that a voice came from behind us: "The girl has a very good hearing. ”

I was taken aback, and turned around sharply, only to see a masked man standing there five or six feet behind me, looking at us coldly. Only then did I realize that Shiqi was not talking about the hotel guy, but the masked man!

My heart sank, he was so close to us that I didn't even notice his coming.

At this moment, the hotel shopkeeper also walked out of the hotel, hugged his fist at the masked man with the hotel guy, and said, "Meet Brother Ye." ”
