Before nightfall, the avenue was empty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not even passers-by.

In the distance, some strange cries of unknown animals began to sound, like ghosts wailing, making people feel a little creepy and heartfelt.

Even the guards of the Li family are all bold on weekdays, but when it is about to be night, they are a little nervous.

In this chatting world, the things of demons and monsters have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one will think that ghosts are just superstitions and legends.

Therefore, under the general trend, people in this world are full of fear of this kind of thing.

"Young master, it's going to be night soon, we can't go to Wangchuan Mountain like this, we have to rush for a day, let's find a place to rest and wait until dawn tomorrow, and it's also dangerous to rush at night." Tie Shan looked at the barren mountains and mountains around him, and said a little nervously.

Li Xiuyuan naturally knew that it was getting late, but there was nothing along the way, so there was no place to stay.

Is it really sleeping in the wild?

"There's an abandoned inn there, and we're going to settle there. Li Xiuyuan pointed to the front suddenly.

Next to the main road, a post station that has been abandoned for some years still sits there, and it has not collapsed.

Everyone responded, and immediately came to the post station, dismounted and prepared.

These guards also have experience of walking outside, and after dismounting, they take good care of the horses, remove the boxes, collect dry firewood, and light a bonfire.

After a while, the abandoned inn was simply cleaned up.

"The eldest young master, there is a room over there, which is relatively complete, the small one cleaned up, threw some hay and a blanket, and the eldest young master will sleep there later." Iron Mountain said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Let's eat something first, remember to leave two people for vigil." ”

"The little ones know. Iron Mountain nodded.

"Li, Brother Li, is there a pond here, it's a mess on the lower body, and I want to wash it. ”

Wang Ping, who came down with the carriage, asked a little embarrassed.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's so late, you better not go to the pond to clean, I remember that there is a dilapidated water tank over there, and there is some stagnant water in it, so you can go there to clean it temporarily." ”

"Okay, okay, thank you Brother Li. Wang Ping immediately left gratefully.

"There is a well next to this station, the eldest young master can let him go outside to clean, and save us from disturbing us here. Iron Mountain said.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, "His yang qi is too weak, far away from us, and he is going to hit a ghost again, when the time comes, it will not be as simple as letting him roll in the quagmire, I am afraid that he will become a corpse tomorrow." ”

"It's not that evil. ”

Several people nearby, along with Iron Mountain, were startled.

"What do you say?" Li Xiuyuan smiled, but didn't say anything more.

Soon, as the night grew darker, the rest of the guards went to rest in the inn, leaving only two guards who were yawning and sitting listlessly on the ground.

The two guards surrounded the bonfire, adding firewood from time to time to ensure that the fire was not extinguished, so as not to attract nearby beasts.

"Woo~!"

The cool breeze of the night blew into the dilapidated inn, and all kinds of strange sounds sounded.

At first, I started to pay some attention, but after getting used to it, I didn't take it seriously, I still slept when I should sleep, and I should keep vigil when I should keep vigil.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

At midnight, suddenly, the cool breeze outside became thicker, and a knock on the door sounded from outside the post station.

The other guards slept soundly and did not hear, only the two guards of the night watch.

"Hey, was someone knocking on the door just now? ”

"How can there be a knocking sound, you are behind your ears, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, in the wilderness except us, how can anyone come here to knock on the door, don't make noise, let me take a nap, you guard first, I will change your shift in two hours,"

The other guard said, and then turned around and snooze again.

The other guard also thought that he might have heard it wrong, so he didn't think much about it.

"Bang!

Soon, however, there was another knock on the door.

"There's a knock on the door. The guard immediately became vigilant, and suddenly became cautious.

Through the old post gate, he could vaguely see a figure outside.

"Who's knocking on the door outside. The guard shouted in a low voice, his sword clenched in his hand.

It may be that some beast in this barren mountain and wild mountain smelled human smell and banged on the door outside, but it can't be careless.

He figured out that if something was wrong, he would wake up his companion immediately.

Are the more than 20 men still afraid of any beasts, even evil ghosts and demons, and they must also retreat.

"It's a passerby, who wants to come in and settle down when he sees the fire here, and please have a convenient personality. ”

Listening to this voice is a woman's voice, soft and pleasant, which makes people involuntarily let down their vigilance.

"Are you alone?" the guard did not rush to open the door, but walked over to it and looked at it.

"I'm alone, and I'll ask this big brother to make it easier. The woman's voice rang out again.

The guard looked outside the door and saw a pretty woman in a red dress and a bun.

The woman was carrying a package on her back, her expression evasive, and she seemed to be a little reserved.

"It turned out to be a girl, it's cold outside at night, come in and settle down. ”

When the guard saw a female streamer, he immediately let down his vigilance, opened the door, and let her in.

"Woo~!"

As soon as the door opened, a dark wind blew in, and the guard immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

"It's a little cold outside, so if you don't mind, go ahead and make a fire, it's warm over there. The guard said kindly.

After the woman came in, she looked around with her eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw the raging flames, but when she saw the twenty or so men who fell asleep on the ground, her eyes shrank and she was a little happy.

"I'm not cold, I'm just looking for a place to rest for the night. The woman laughed.

Although some rouge gouache was applied to her face in the firelight, it was difficult to hide her pale complexion.

"The girl thinks it's inconvenient, right, too, here are all our brothers, and it's really inconvenient for you to be a girl's family. The guard smiled a little embarrassedly: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, she can rest there, and make sure that no one disturbs her." ”

"Thank you, big brother. The woman said gratefully.

The guard smiled, "This is a trivial matter, if you meet the eldest young master of my family, you will also take care of the girl, after all, who has no difficulty when you go out." ”

"Alright, don't disturb this girl's rest, I'm going to keep vigil. ”

After speaking, he gestured.

The woman nodded, and sat down next to her without saying a word.

But a pair of eyes kept rolling on everyone's body, especially the guard who kept vigil for a long time.
