Chapter 100: Murderous Assassination
The words of the proprietress and Shen Mad fell in the ears of the account room, but he understood the situation differently from what Xiao Er saw.
The bookkeeper frowned, tasted the meaning of the words over there with a strange expression, and when he came to a better time, he glared at Xiao Er, who was grinning and grinning, and said in a slightly smaller voice, but he could hear the anger: "What are you doing, go over quickly!"
"Ahh
Xiao Er seemed to be drunk by a stick, woke up and looked at the angry appearance of the account room, but he didn't dare to say anything, and reluctantly took the side dishes and a pot of wine added to the tray from the account room to pour the boss lady's side.
The side dishes have been served, another pot of wine has been added, and the wine glasses are ready.
Shen Mad didn't dare to let the proprietress say anything here that he couldn't handle, picked up the wine glass that the proprietress had filled for him, and said with a smile: "The boss's wife is tired to greet in person, our hearts are warm, and we have been on the road for a day, and we have only seen the meal at this time, the proprietress doesn't have to take care of us, and I thank the proprietress for her hospitality again." ”
The smile on the face of the proprietress was still mixed with a hint of loneliness, and she put down the wine jug with her hand, but her words said without emotion: "The guests can only turn back when they warm their hearts, I should also go over there to say hello, eat with confidence, the food is fresh and the wine is pure." ”
Shen smiled wildly, nodded and answered the proprietress who was leaving: "Okay!"
The proprietress then moved over there, and Xiao Er also went to serve the dishes again with the plate.
Chang Yuheng held back until this moment before looking at Shen Mad, guarding against the account room not far away, and said softly: "Brother Shen, this boss lady won't have a problem, right? Those who carry knives and swords have already revealed their thief statues, don't be in trouble all the way today." ”
Shen Mad sighed lightly, and then slowly continued: "I'm not sure, but it's not just those who carry knives and swords over there, the two gangs of people have thieves' hearts, you bear with it first, and then look at the wounds after eating, at this time, I'm afraid that they will be stunned, we are too tired all the way, slowly!"
Fluttershy and Cai'er's hearts began to twitch when they heard Shen Ma's words, and the look of fear immediately appeared on their faces, Chang Yuheng was also worried, and his eyes didn't feel that they fell to Liu Ping'er, who looked indifferent and was eating quietly, and when Chang Yuheng's eyes swept over there again, Shen Mad had already poured a glass of wine that Xiao Er had just brought over to Chang Yuheng.
The wine in the cup was shallow, without a trace of discoloration and turbidity, Shen Mad poured himself another glass of wine, put down the chopsticks that had tasted the side dishes, shook the cup, Chang Yuheng also picked up the cup, and the two smiled heartily and drained the wine in the cup.
Fluttershy and Cai'er have already begun to eat side dishes like Liu Ping'er at Shen Yan's signal, temporarily slowing the onset of hunger. The proprietress had already begun to talk and laugh at the other table, and the smile on her face was somewhat stiff, but in spite of this, the guests at that table no longer had the silence brought by the suppression of the sword, as if they had been illuminated by the sun for a moment, and they had vitality, and several people teased at the proprietress word by word.
The eyes of the bookkeeper were not attracted by the proprietress side, and he looked at the changes of the neglected guests at the table, and then looked at the reactions of everyone at the table of Shen Mad , maybe he was used to the behavior of the proprietress like this, but the way the proprietress treated Shen Mad just now made him feel like a ghost.
The light of the sky in the wilderness and on the official road is no longer in the middle of the time, and the slanting track of the moonlight is no longer to be found, only the light that fades intentionally or unintentionally tells everything that time has been taken away by him and will not be returned.
A table of wine and vegetables plus rice staple food, Shen Mad and the others ate a bit of a storm, hunger and sleepiness will invade.
The two tables of the proprietress have already toasted and ridiculed, and then went back to rest, and the two tables of guests have gone to the interest, and they have gone upstairs after a while, and returned to the room that has been booked to rest.
Xiao Er angrily cleaned up the leftover scraps of Shen Mad's last guest at this table, but Shen Madness and the others were not busy resting, just passing by the counter, the account room said a few words to Shen Mad, and everyone went to the back hall.
There is no real courtyard in the Ping An Inn, a large open space is fenced around the main building, and there are only a few rooms outside that can shelter from the rain. The back hall under the drop of the main building is four houses together, entering the back hall is the kitchen on the left side, the right side is the room where some miscellaneous items are piled up, the two rooms in front of the front are a room where the guys rest when they are full, and the other is the medical hall where Shen Mad and others came here for one purpose, and it is also the place where Mr. Ledger is bed.
Fluttershy's tears are still flowing, and Cai'er is accompanied by her rosy eyes. Chang Yuheng's wound is nothing more than skin trauma and bruising, he has already been bandaged by Mr. Bookkeeper and wiped with ointment, the pain is inevitable but it is not hindered.
When Mr. Bookkeeper saw the two knife wounds on Liu Ping'er's waist and back, his heart was beating wildly, not because Mr. Bookkeeper, a weak doctor, had never seen a frightening wound, but because Liu Ping'er's expressionless face and numbness made him tremble, and he couldn't be sure that when such a wound fell on a person, this flesh-and-blood person would be so innocuous and numb, unless it was a walking corpse.
The bookkeeper carefully bandaged Liu Ping'er's wounds, and he knew that Liu Ping'er was howling in pain, which did not mean that the wounds on these two bones would not hurt if they were cut out.
Shen Mad didn't want to stare at Liu Ping'er's freshly stitched and wrapped, red, stained white wound, he saw Liu Ping'er in his stuttering steps, his eyes rarely left Fluttershy from the moment he came in, he could only understand in his heart - Fluttershy was crying all the time, Liu Ping'er would no longer cause Fluttershy's pain with screams of pain, or even humming, his own pain was insignificant, and Fluttershy's pain was a steel knife scraped against his bones.
After a long time, Mr. Bookkeeper was carefully slowed down by the bandaging treatment, which was considered to be a great success, and then thankfully he was busy diverting his eyes from Liu Ping'er, getting up and having a tired look on his face, and said to Shen Mad, who greeted him in front of him, and said in a slightly weak voice: "Guest officer, the proprietress has specially instructed me to treat the injuries and keep the guys' rooms for you, if it is not enough for the last room in the east corner of the second floor, you can still live two people, and the Ping An Inn will take care of a few people today." ”
Shen Mad looked at Mr. Bookkeeper, he remembered the intentions of the proprietress, but there was still a helpless smile on his face, nodding, but he couldn't help but say: "The proprietress has a hunch, I'm afraid it's difficult to be thoughtful today, the proprietress toasted the wine, the two groups of guests have not touched a drop, they are drinking the wine that has already been on the table, you still have to be careful yourself, don't always get up at night, knock, touch and hurt yourself." ”
The bookkeeper listened to Shen Mad's words, he didn't say anything, his eyes still looked at Liu Ping'er involuntarily, and finally said, "Maybe we really have a heart, I'll take you to rest." ”
Shen Mad nodded, and Mr. Bookkeeper had already walked out of the room first, waiting for Shen Mad and the others.
Fluttershy and Cai'er also got up, and watched Shen Mad out of the house first, Liu Ping'er came over after getting dressed, and Chang Yuheng, who wanted to help next to him, didn't intervene and followed with dull eyes.
Fluttershy's tears were wiped away by Liu Ping'er's sleeve, and Liu Ping'er's smile made her feel a little better, and the two walked out of the room holding hands, followed by Cai'er and Chang Yuheng.
Mr. Bookkeeper was watching Shen Mad until Shen Mad told Liu Ping'er and Fluttershy and Cai'er to rest in the house of the guys next to him, he and Chang Yuheng went up to the room in the east corner of the second floor to rest, Liu Ping'er and the three of them entered the house, and Mr. Bookkeeper took Shen Mad and Chang Yuheng out of the back hall, pedaled the stairs to the second floor, and settled down in the room on the edge of the east corner.
The bookkeeper went back to the back hall, and a slight squeaking sound came from the opposite guest room and Shen Mad in their row, and the second room up the stairs came one after another, Shen Mad sat on the chair and was just stunned, he knew that this was a sound that was almost impossible for ordinary people to hear, just the sound of gently closing the crack in the door, so he didn't care.
Chang Yuheng was already on the bed, looking at Shen Mad with his eyes closed, and just said, "Brother Shen, call me when you are sleepy!"
Shen Mad opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded.
Chang Yuheng slept on his side in his clothes.
Peng Jian, Chen Xiong, Liang Qiyun, and Cao Huan have been under the Thousand Buddha Cliff, and the still water of the shallow pond was disturbed by the small stones discarded by Chen Xiong, and the ripples floated under the rock wall, and the brightness of the moonlight was still fading with the pace of being pulled by time and sliding sideways, and the vicissitudes of life carved by the knife attack and axe on the rock wall were swept away, and the reflection in the water had been swept away.
Chen Xiong rarely takes such boring and childish things as a pastime, but at this time he realizes that what he is doing is a child's game, because his heart is very chaotic, and he is close to irritability, and the streamlined body drive specially built for sports on a fast horse has been soaked with sweat, and he immediately catches the pale face, because the fast horse is too anxious to bump all the way, and he can't even take a step when he gets off the horse, so desperately and eagerly to hurry just to deliver a message:" The bandits were killed, and the key criminals on the hanging list of bonuses fled to the Thousand Buddha Cliff to meet the rest of the party, and asked Lord Peng to go quickly, Zhao Qianwang had led the soldiers and horses on the road, and then arrived. ”
Peng Jian raised his eyes to look at the moonlight in the sky, and said something that only he could hear: "With the fast fifth watch, if the sky is bright, they may leave, hundreds of miles of mountains and mountains, how can it be different to let the tiger return to the forest!"
Liang Qiyun and Cao Huan were all the way, leaning against the big tree not far away and chatting quietly, and a few sergeants were guarding on the side, and they didn't dare to come over and eavesdrop.
Liang Qiyun whispered: "Brother Cao, we have a good idea in our hearts, it is rumored that there are eight hundred bandits gathered in Phoenix Mountain, we know in our hearts, they are no less than five hundred, Zhao Qianwang didn't bring them over to understand, but he said, the murderer rushed to the Thousand Buddha Cliff to contract the party, that is to say, there are only one or two masters who kill the bandits." ”
