Chapter 36: The Dried Corpse Outside the Window

Huaizhong said, "Only you are used to talking nonsense, but you don't know that the little fairy girl doesn't like to listen to you the most." ”

Zhou Kang said: "Where is such a top inn? The people of the world inquired around, and there was no proper place to find it when they stepped on the iron shoes, but they did their best to get it, until the tall man pointed out casually without raising his head or opening his eyes, and said: "The rivers and lakes! It turns out that the Yuelai Inn is in the middle of the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes are all guests of the Yuelai Inn, and the Yuelai Inn is actually the shadow of the rivers and lakes." ”

Han Jiangliu scolded with a smile: "You are not finished." ”

Talking and laughing, everyone had arrived at the door of the Yuelai Inn.

Along the way, this Jing Xiaoxian really has few words, which is understandable, she has not yet come out of the grief of Jing Daxian's death.

Zhou Kang said, "I'll call the door." ”

Zhou Kang got off the mount and walked to the gate of the Yuelai Inn, but saw that this was a spacious courtyard, although it was in the desolate halfway up the mountainside, it was built with great courage, above the gate, four big characters were raised with lanterns: Yuelai Inn, and next to these four big characters, there was a line of small characters;

What does that mean?

Could it be that the store is haunted?

Zhou Kang knocked on the door: "Shop, let's stay here." ”

After knocking for a while, a guy came and opened the door. When he opened the door, Zhou Kang saw this guy: sleepy-eyed and fluffy, disheveled, and without any energy.

"What's the matter, it's business, can you do it?"

"Objective, how many are there?" replied the guy lazily.

"Three men and one woman, three horses and one bird. "Actually, it's two birds, but the gold and silver bird is too small, not as big as a palm, so naturally it can't be counted, so Zhou Kang doesn't need to mention it.

"Oh?" said the man, see the line?

"See, Yuelai Inn. ”

"I mean this little print. ”

"Don't get into the faint of heart, or you'll be responsible for the consequences. ”

"It's good to see it, if you feel bold, just stay in, if you're afraid, go quickly, and it's better to sleep in the field than here. ”

"You guy, why are you still picking up guests? We're going to stay here. "Don't wait to discuss with Han Jiangliu and the others, Zhou Kang has already made up his mind that he must stay at this Yuelai Inn tonight.

"Alright then," the man called out loudly, "a few times the guest inside, please." ”

Han Jiangliu and the others were behind Zhou Kang, and they all came in with their guys.

The guy asked, "It's past dinner time now, do you want to add extra food?"

Huaizhong asked, "How much is the extra meal?"

The man said, "One tael, nine cents, nine cents of silver." ”

Zhou Kang asked: "You just say two or two don't you have it?"

Han Jiangliu said: "It's not very expensive. ”

The man said, "This inn has always been very close to the people. ”

The guy brought a few people to the guest room, one for the three men, one for Jing Xiaoxian alone, and the two rooms were next to each other.

Eat in one room first.

After a short time, the man brought a tray, and in the tray there were four large bowls, four bowls of noodles, and a small piece of beef floated lonely above the noodles.

The guy said, "A few extra meals in the evening, slow use." ”

Huaizhong looked at the four bowls of noodles and pouted.

Zhou Kang said, "This is the dinner you said was one tael and nine cents of silver?"

"Yes. ”

"You don't call it Yuelai Inn. ”

"What's that called, guest officer?"

"You can call it Yuelai Black Shop, which is too expensive. ”

The guy said: "Don't hide it, guest officer, the original price of our store is very cheap, but since something has happened, there are fewer and fewer customers, and if we want to survive, we can only raise the price and go to the high-end market." ”

Huaizhong hammered the table and said angrily: "You are a pit man!"

Jing Xiaoxian and Han Jiangliu asked in unison, "What happened?"

The man was hesitant, there was no speech for a long time, everyone fell into silence, and seeing that several guest officers had nothing to say, the man withdrew with a tray.

The taste of the noodles is okay, but the portion is too small, Jing Xiaoxian is a girl, and she is already full, Zhou Kang eats very little, and she is also eight points full.

Huaizhong poured the noodles directly into his mouth, and he didn't feel anything, they were gone.

Han Jiangliu said: "Brother Huai, if you don't have enough to eat, let's have another bowl." ”

Huaizhong said: "If I don't eat it, I'm full of gas, but I don't know what the shopkeeper said just now, I should have asked just now." ”

Zhou Kang said, "What can be done is just a justification for high-priced noodles." ”

Jing Xiaoxian said, "I'll go back to sleep first," and was about to go back to his guest room, Han Jiangliu sent him out, and in front of the guest room door, Han Jiangliu said: "Little fairy girl, if there is anything, knock on the door and come to us, and we will take good care of you." ”

Jing Xiaoxian said, "Thank you, General Han. And he opened the door and went into the house.

Han Jiangliu also returned to this room.

Outside the courtyard, the golden-scaled eagle quietly ate the two brooms of the Yuelai Inn, but it could be regarded as a good meal.

The men were in the house, chatting for a while, and when nothing happened, they went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, several people heard a rustling sound outside the courtyard near the window.

Huaizhong was shocked: "What sound?"

Zhou Kang said, "Sleep, it's a mouse." ”

Han Jiangliu listened for a while, and then said, "It's nothing, it's a mouse." ”

The three of them fell asleep again, but Huaizhong couldn't sleep anymore, today is fifteen, and the moon is full. It is difficult for Huaizhong to sleep soundly when the moon is full, this has become a habit, he tosses and turns, his mind is very clear, and the moon casts a hazy shadow in the room through the window lattice.

In the middle of the shadow of the window lattice, there was another shadow, it was a human figure, and the figure crouched in front of the window, as if secretly looking in.

Got a thief?

This is highly likely.

In the inn, because the guests are very tired and neglected to take precautions, it is common for thieves to come to patronize, and even some inn guys will cooperate with thieves to steal guests' things.

Huaizhong lay still, thinking: When the thief steals in, I will directly arrest him and send him to the government.

"But," Huaizhong was amazed, "this is the second floor, how did he lie down on the window?"

Look at the shadow on the window tower, motionless for a long time, and occasionally his feet will sway in the wind, like a dried corpse.

Thinking of this, Huaizhong couldn't help but be a little scared, he just wanted to wake up Han Jiangliu and Zhou Kang, who were sleeping on both sides, but heard the door move slightly.

The door of the house was inserted from the inside with a plug spring, but the spring was quietly moving to the side, Huaizhong Dingqing looked, it turned out to be someone outside, with a knife gently dialed the spring, trying to quietly open the door.

Who is this man? What does he want to do? What does he have to do with the "dry corpse" outside the window?

Huaizhong held the sword placed next to him, and now beckoned the two partners, I am afraid that he will startle the snake and scare the person outside the door away, then it may not be possible to know who the person outside is, and this mystery will be difficult to solve.

Huaizhong decided to do it alone.

Silently with his sword in hand, he got up and walked slowly to the door.

With a slight "whoosh", the spring was pushed aside, the door opened a small slit, and an eye peered inside.

This eye is very familiar, Huaizhong thinks: where have such eyes been seen.

And when that eye blinked slightly, Huaizhong remembered that this was her eye, and this person was Jing Xiaoxian.

What did she do in the middle of the night?

While Huaizhong was vigilant, his heart was also full of curiosity.

The crack in the door was opened wider and wider, and Jing Xiaoxian quietly walked in.

Huaizhong was hidden behind the door, and Jing Xiaoxian didn't notice that there was someone behind the door because he was too concentrated.

Jing Xiaoxian held a dagger in her hand, and the cold light reflected the moon, which was extremely terrifying.

"No, she's going to kill. Thinking of this, Huaizhong jumped forward and wanted to subdue Jing Xiaoxian from behind.

Sure enough, Jing Xiaoxian rushed to the third bed, which was Zhou Kang's bed, and with the moonlight, she recognized Zhou Kang's thin figure.

Jing Xiaoxian has a deep hatred for Zhou Kang, and tonight, she is going to kill him.

The dagger had already been handed out, and at the same time, Huai Zhong shouted, "You stop!" and stretched out his arm to lock the neck of the mirror fairy.

At the same time, two windows suddenly opened, and the windows opened inward, letting in the bright moonlight that filled the room.

Han Jiangliu and Zhou Kang all woke up, and the first thing they saw was not the mirror fairy holding the dagger, but the thing hanging on the window, which was indeed a corpse. It was a male corpse, bald, with a long beard, and wearing a crimson garment, which was worn when he was buried.

The corpse's tongue sticks out.

His face was whiter than that of Jing Xiaoxian.

Zhou Kang asked in surprise: "Who is this?"

Han Jiangliu turned his gaze and asked, "Little fairy girl, you-" Before he finished asking, Jing Xiaoxian's dagger had already been handed over to Zhou Kang, and Zhou Kang only noticed the corpse in front of the window, and neglected to guard against Jing Xiaoxian's assassination.

Huaizhong's technique of grabbing Jing Xiaoxian forward was also a step slower.

The dagger was stuck all the way to Zhou Kang's chest.

When blood gushed out of his chest, Jing Xiaoxian felt a sense of revenge.

Jing Xiaoxian said: "Mirror Immortal's forbearance, there is no cure!"

Zhou Kang felt the pain in his heart, and in the midst of surprise and horror, a knife stood straight on his chest.

Jing Xiaoxian didn't pull out the knife, she let go of her hand and said calmly, "I took revenge." ”

And for her move, Han Jiangliu and Huaizhong seemed to turn a blind eye, it was not that they didn't care about Zhou Kang's safety, but the things in front of the window were too scary, so they couldn't help but pay attention.

"Give me my life! Give me my life!" the shaky corpse made a sound that was eerie, as if it had come from hell.

Jing Xiaoxian turned her head, she had forgotten what it meant to be afraid, she stood face to face with the dry corpse, both of them were extremely pale, Jing Xiaoxian said, "Who are you?
