"Ahh

When the black shadow flew out of the door, the little green girl screamed in fright, and fell into the hallway, and the candle was extinguished, and the surroundings were suddenly pitch black.

"Damn, there are ghosts, there are really ghosts—" Bai Qingyun, who was following Miss Xiaocui, shouted, and ran downstairs as if she were flying. He ran and shouted at the same time, ran to the restaurant in a panic, pushed the door open with a clatter, and said loudly and breathlessly: "Ghost, there is a ghost upstairs!"

The originally noisy and lively restaurant suddenly became silent.

When the shopkeeper of the inn heard the shout, he had already walked out of the next room. When he saw Bai Qingyun slipping into the restaurant, he hurriedly followed, bowed down to meet Bai Qingyun and kowtowed step by step and asked, "This little guest officer can't shout nonsense! How many years have I ever been haunted here?"

This shopkeeper Lu walked and bowed, not because he was respectful to Bai Qingyun, but because he was a hunchbacked old man.

Tu Yuankui saw Bai Qingyun's frightened look, and it was definitely not child's play. He walked over and asked, "Yun'er, don't worry, you say slowly, where is it haunted?"

"In the room on the second floor. It's the one that didn't paint the door......" Bai Qingyun was still gasping for air.

"What?" Hearing that the haunted place was in the Yumumen guest room, Tu Yuankui was taken aback and said, "It's not good, there are thieves!"

The caravan's valuables were stored in the elm door rooms, and the high sensitivity of the profession alerted him that there were thieves who were there.

He snatched the lantern from the hand of the shopkeeper Lu and hurried towards the accident site. Bai Qingyun, Shopkeeper Lu, and the coachmen all followed.

When they arrived at the elm door, Miss Emerald was still sitting in the dark hallway. She was leaning her back against the wall, her hands on her shoulders, curled up on the ground shivering.

"Xiaocui, how are you?" Tu Yuankui asked with concern.

The little cui girl trembled all over and couldn't say a word.

Tu Yuankui handed the lantern to the people around him, bent down and stretched out his hands to gently help her up, and said softly: "Go back to the room to rest! Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

He turned to Bai Qingyun again and said, "Yun'er, you two go back to the room to rest first." I'll see you in a moment. ”

At this time, someone had completely opened the elm door, and Tu Yuankui walked straight in.

The rest of the room remained untouched, except for a treasure chest that had been opened. Tu Yuankui took a closer look, the box was empty, and the two thousand taels of silver stored in it were gone.

Shopkeeper Lu bowed down and turned around on the ground, then raised his head and said loudly: "Who did it?"

"Wait!"

When Tu Yuankui leaned over to check inside the box, he found a feather with colored markings tied to the bottom of the wooden box. He pulled it up and took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp, secretly shocked in his heart: Damn, this time I can meet the Jiangyang thief. So, he stopped the crowd and said, "You don't need to search, this is done by someone outside." I tell you the truth, you can't find this man, and even if you do, don't try to catch him. ”

"Why?" the crowd asked, puzzled.

"Look!" Tu Yuankui raised the feather in his hand to the lantern and said in a loud voice, "This is what the thief left." ”

When everyone came up to look at it, the feather was about three inches long, and the markings were clear in the light. Someone muttered, "Isn't it just a bird feather, what's so beautiful?" ”

Tu Yuankui said: "Everyone doesn't know, this thief is the world's number one snitch who is famous in the rivers and lakes - Hua Ziqi. His light skills are very powerful, jumping over the ridge like a bird, and flying on the wall like walking on the ground. He is a well-known master thief in the rivers and lakes, specializing in stealing wealthy families, and every time he succeeds, he will leave such a feather at the scene, the purpose of which is to exonerate the servants of the stolen family. I heard that this man squandered money, helped the poor, and distributed all the stolen money to the poor, so the rivers and lakes also called him a thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor. ”

"So, he's a good guy!"

"Then what should we do, can we just lose our hard-earned money?"

"Anyway, Boss Tu...... You can't afford to lose our wages!"

Everyone began to talk about it, and it was like exploding for a while.

"Don't worry, everyone, listen to me. Tu Yuankui glanced around everyone's faces and analyzed: "This thief is bold and bold, I guess he will come tonight." Miss Xiaocui had disturbed him just now, so that he hadn't had time to look at what was in the other boxes, so he would come back later. ”

"Is there such a bold person?"

"yes, could it be that he ate leopard gall bladder?"

"If he dares to come again, we must beat him flat!"

"Yes, kill him!"

One by one, the crowd was filled with righteous indignation.

Tu Yuankui walked over, stood on a wooden box and commanded loudly: "Listen, everyone, this thief has strong martial arts, and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch him. Today, I'm going to keep watch here myself, and when the thief does it again, I'll take him down in one fell swoop. In order not to startle the snakes, please go back to your rooms and rest! Remember, keep the doors and windows fastened, and don't go out and walk around. Then, he turned his gaze to Shopkeeper Lu and said, "Shopkeeper, you can give me a bed in this room, and I will wait for him here tonight." In addition, you should also arrange for your people to go back to their rooms as soon as possible to rest, and not to move around randomly. ”

"Okay, no problem. Shopkeeper Lu bowed down and walked out.

After a while, two men from the inn came in with a bed, hastily set it up in front of the door, spread pillows, and quietly withdrew.

After everyone dispersed, Tu Yuankui lay quietly on the bed and began to think about how to catch the snitch.
