The sky was overcast, and the clouds were thick and layered, as if they were about to fall. The wind began to howl, and a lot of dead grass and rotten leaves flew with the wind, scattering everywhere.

Li Mubai controlled the overlord, galloping against the wind, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, after more than half a year of tempering, the childishness between the eyebrows has disappeared, with the two sword eyebrows, full of heroism.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily, so I'm going to hurry to the town ahead and find a place to stay. ”

Looking at the posture in the sky, this rain must be not small, otherwise Li Mubai can find a place everywhere and set up a tent to shelter from the rain. But if the rain is too heavy, you have to find a place on high ground, and this tent is not a modern craft, and if it rains too much, it may not leak.

"Judging from what I heard before, it should be almost there!"

Sure enough, not long after, Li Mubai saw the houses and small pedestrians from a distance. He happily urged the overlord under the seat again, feeling the eagerness of the master, and ignoring his own fatigue, the overlord's speed increased again.

It's a small town, presumably because of the weather, and pedestrians are in a hurry.

Li Mubai stopped an old man and asked, "Uncle, where is there an inn in the town?"

The old man looked at Li Mubai and said with a smile: "Where did the young man come from?"

"I'm here from Qianlong City, isn't it about to rain, I have to find a place to settle down quickly!" Li Mubai pointed to the sky and reminded the uncle to hurry up.

"Qianlong City! It's not far from us, it doesn't take two days to get there on horseback, I also went there when I was young, it was quite prosperous, and now that people are old, I can't go anywhere, so I can only stay in this town." ”

Maybe it's been a long time since I found someone to say this, but the uncle chattered with Li Mubai, as if he didn't understand Li Mubai's reminder.

Li Mubai looked at the uncle who was still talking, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then interrupted the uncle's words: "Uncle, I'm still in a hurry to find a place to stay, so I'll leave first!"

"Hey, don't go, I haven't told you where the inn is! Young man, why don't you have any patience!" The uncle first counted Li Mubai for a while, and then pointed to the west and said: "You walk a mile from here, there is a Hongyun Inn, which is the only inn in our town, but you should be careful at night, I heard that the inn is haunted, are you afraid? If you are afraid, come with me and stay at my house!"

"Ghost?" Li Mubai was surprised at first, then looked at the look of expectation on the uncle's face, and said secretly in his heart: "I guess I want to find someone to talk to, deliberately scaring me!"

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Mubai said to the uncle: "I never believed in this, thank you for your kindness!"

"Forget it, since you don't listen, then you can go! Let me remind you again, be careful at night, haunting is not nonsense, and outsiders like you often disappear. After the uncle finished speaking, he stopped pestering and walked to the alley next to him.

"There can't really be a ghost, right?" Thinking of his own crossing experience, Li Mubai's heart was a little furious, but there was only one inn in the town, he looked up at the sky, and still planned to go to the inn.

As soon as Li Mubai walked for a while, the raindrops began to fall, first a little bit, then more and more, and the rain became more and more urgent.

Li Mubai secretly said that he was about to arrive at the inn, but he was still wet.

led the overlord and walked forward quickly, and after walking for a while, Li Mubai saw the Hongyun Inn that the uncle said, left the overlord at the door, and Li Mubai walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a thin middle-aged man holding an abacus to settle accounts, his eyes were narrow and long, and his chin had a short beard.

The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, took out a towel and handed it to Li Mubai, and said quite kindly: "The guest officer should wipe it first! Beware of the wind and cold." ”

After taking the towel, Li Mubai thanked him, and then said: "Shopkeeper, I don't know if there is a horse shed or something, my horse is still raining outside!"

"Yes!" the shopkeeper shouted to the inside: "Ermao, hurry up and come out to greet the guests!"

"It's coming!"

A tall and thin young man trotted over and smiled at Li Mubai: "What do you have to say about the guest officer?"

Li Mubai twisted the towel, and then pointed outside: "My horse is still raining outside, you can help me lead it to the stable!"

"Okay!" Ermao answered, picked up the cloak hanging in the corner, put it on, and went out.

"The guest officer must be staying here, right?" asked the shopkeeper again.

Li Mubai handed the towel back to the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "With such a heavy rain, I can't still hurry, right? Of course you can stay! Help me prepare some hot water, I want to take a bath." ”

"Okay!" the shopkeeper nodded, "Do you need to prepare a meal?"

"No, I'm not hungry!"

"The guest officer comes with me. The shopkeeper led the way to the second floor.

Pushing open a door, the shopkeeper raised his hand: "Please come in, this is your room, I'll bring hot water later, you wait a while!"

Li Mubai walked into the room, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction, although it was ordinary, it was better to be clean and tidy.

"Then I'll go first! The guest officer will rest first!" the shopkeeper said hello, and then walked out the door.

Li Mubai sat on the stool, looked left and right, and whispered to himself: "I haven't seen anything strange, and there is nothing weird, there shouldn't be any ghosts, right?"

Since entering the door, Li Mubai has actually been paying attention to the situation of the inn and has not found anything abnormal.

"That uncle deliberately scared me! If there is a ghost, then how can this shopkeeper and his fellow still live well?"

In his heart, he decided that it was the uncle's prank, and Li Mubai left this matter behind.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door, and Li Mubai raised his voice and said, "Please come in!"

"Guest, you want hot water. Ermao struggled to carry a large wooden barrel and walked into the room.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Mubai took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it to Ermao.

Ermao was overjoyed, clutched the silver tightly, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, guest officer!"

In such a small town, the salary is naturally not too high, and this piece of broken silver is almost half a month's salary.

Ermao immediately became more enthusiastic, and said attentively: "Is there enough water for the guest officer?"

Li Mubai couldn't cry or laugh, and it was like two people before and after: "No need, you go out! I'll call you if there's something!"

"Okay, wash slowly, I won't bother you!"
