When the sun took away the last rays of light, darkness fell, and after walking through the place where the wind and sand were at its strongest, the five of Qiuxin finally set foot on the land of Zhuozhou, and not far away, there was a border town standing in the wilderness.

The five of them drove forward again, into the town, unexpectedly it was still very lively, presumably the passers-by are resting here, there are ascetics holding prayer beads on the street, there are people pulling erhu and singing, and there are martial arts people with swords and swords, coming and going on the street, but all of them are dusty.

Didn't stay too much on the street, Qiu Xin and a few people found an inn in the town, although it looked very shabby, but it was also overcrowded, but Qiu Xin and a few people paid a high price to book a room, and then ate downstairs.

"The shopkeeper, two catties of beef, two horns of wine. Shi Weihu was hungry for a day, he couldn't wait for a long time, he didn't ask Qiu Xin and the others what they wanted to eat, so he chose for the others, Qiu Xin and the others were also hungry, and they didn't have too many choices, even so, everyone didn't relax their guard and stared around.

Dao Ba said sharply when he heard this, "Brother Shi, do you want me to teach you these truths?" Shi Weihu was a little embarrassed, and shouted loudly, "Shopkeeper, don't want Erjiao wine, come to two pots of tea." ”

The inn was full of people, and the shopkeeper was too busy for a while, so he just agreed, and then walked to another table.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the door, and then there was a neighing, and two barefoot men came in, with deep eye sockets, and a beard on their faces that was more lush than Shi Weihu's, holding a long thing wrapped in a cloth in their hands, and I don't know what it was.

Seeing this, Shi Weihu's expressions tightened, and they became more vigilant, and said to Qiu Xin next to him, "These people are dressed like people from Northern Xinjiang, and they should be holding short knives in their hands, and these barbarians are the most difficult to mess with." ”

The two people stood at the door and looked around, and actually walked to the seats of Qiu Xin and a few people, Shi Weihu wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Daoba, and said, "Wait and see." His brow furrowed tightly, and his face was gloomy.

At this time, two people from northern Xinjiang had already walked to the table of five people and said in a broken Central Plains dialect, "You guys, go to the side, we occupy this table." If such an impudent request had been put on hold in the past, Shi Weihu would definitely have made a move, but at this moment, he actually got up and walked aside, and the four of Qiu Xin also let go of their seats.

When they sat down on the other side, the two northerners looked around again, sat down, and just drank tea quietly, but the short knife in their hands never put down.

Dao Ba glanced at Shi Weihu approvingly, "Say, let's get into less trouble, rest here for the night, and then hurry tomorrow." Shi Weihu has been dart for many years, so naturally he will not be so reckless, but he just looked at those two people with some anger.

After a short meal, the five of them returned to the room and chose their own place to rest, but they were also in a half-asleep state, and it was the most dangerous time in this unfamiliar border town.

In a daze, the sound of walking on the street slowly weakened, and the lights in the inn had been extinguished.

The north wind rises, and the yellow sand is spreading.

In this silence, Qiu Xin suddenly felt a wisp of murderous aura, and his heart tightened, and the other four people found out one step ahead of themselves, and at the same time opened their eyes, holding a weapon in their hands, lowering their breathing, but their bodies remained motionless and remained unchanged.

I don't know what happened, but I could faintly feel the figure shaking outside the window, and there was more than one person, and the blade brought a soft groan of air, but it didn't alarm the others in the inn.

The five of Qiuxin kept it like this for half an hour, but they never saw these people leave, they didn't know what they were doing, and in the next moment, the murderous aura quickly disappeared, the figure disappeared, and the inn returned to tranquility.

Qiu Xin and the others pinched a cold sweat, fortunately they didn't come for themselves, the five of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand on the weapon was slowly withdrawn, but they didn't make a sound, and they didn't go out to check, just like that, half awake and half asleep all night.

.........

"Kill, kill, kill......" The sharp shouts woke everyone in the inn, and for a while the sound of pushing the door sounded one after another, and the people who pushed the door and saw the scene in the inn either stayed in place, or fell to the ground in shock, or shouted terrible.

Dao Ba also pushed open the door, and the five mermaids rushed out, only to see two corpses hanging in the center of the inn, still spinning on their own, they were the two people from Northern Xinjiang that Qiu Xin and the others saw yesterday, their scattered eyes were full of horror and anger, and there were still knife marks on their necks.

The blood flowed along the wound, through the long robe, little by little to the table on the first floor of the inn, spread all over the table, and then flowed down the table legs to the ground, the two pools of blood have coagulated, it seems that he has been dead for a long time, and the inn is full of blood, and there is another person on the first floor, it is the shopkeeper, trembling and kneeling aside, and the liquid flows out from the crotch, but he is already scared stupid.

In this way, those people came for these two northern Xinjiang people last night, but I don't know who these people are, they are so ruthless, not only killed the two people, but also hung their bodies here, although Qiu Xin did not like the behavior of the two northern Xinjiang people, but he would not be so vicious.

Seeing this kind of behavior, Shi Weihu's faces were not as bad as Qiu Xin's, and they had seen a lot of this kind of scene, so they said unlucky.

At this time, the innkeeper appeared, kicked Xiao Er, beckoned him to pull the stool, and then put down the two corpses, as if he was used to this kind of thing, and glanced at the corpses with disgust.

Qiu Xin was a little puzzled when he saw it, "Brother Shi, what's going on at this time, this shopkeeper didn't report to the local sect, so he was going to deal with these two corpses?"

"This kind of wilderness town is unmanaged, so it is not surprising that these things happen because of the murder and revenge, and the local sects simply don't care about it later, and there are great evildoers who usually hide here when they commit crimes. ”

Dao Hachi added, "So when we pass through such a place, we will be extremely careful and never fight with people, after all, darts are supreme." ”

Qiu Xin panicked, and the big sect also didn't need the two Northern Xinjiang people to go to great lengths to find out about this matter, and the Central Plains people looked down on the Northern Xinjiang barbarians, and now they can only blame them for their bad lives and died in vain in the inn.

At the time when he was talking, the shopkeeper had already beckoned someone to carry the two corpses out, and the onlookers also entered the room, as if nothing had happened, and Qiu Xin and the others were also ready to go back to the room to prepare for a while, but they were called out.

"A few guest officers, and slowly. "It was the innkeeper, who seemed to be quite old lately, and walked tremblingly, and wondered how he could run an inn here, and the blood on his hands had not yet been washed away, and his thin face, which had been blown by the wind and sand in this town all the year round, looked very hideous.

Hearing this, Dao Ba said, "Shopkeeper, I don't know what's going on?"

The shopkeeper put down his bloody hand, walked to the five people, and whispered, "You guys don't know the rules too much, what's the matter if you throw the corpse out and hang it in the inn when you kill someone?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Weihu grabbed the shopkeeper's arm and dragged him into the room, and Qiu Xin and the others then closed the door.

Dao Ba's face was gloomy, and he said, "Shopkeeper, you can't talk nonsense, we are also new to this place, but what evidence is there that we have killed someone?"

The shopkeeper broke away from Shi Weihu's hand, and didn't forget to glare at him, and said, "Those two people are also new to this place, and they only talked to you yesterday, plus they robbed you of your seat, so they killed the killer." ”

Kong Xiangyu still had an indifferent look on his face, holding the teapot, and said, "Shopkeeper, you are slandering us, even if those two people rob our seat, but we can't kill anyone." ”

The shopkeeper sighed when he heard this, and said noncommittally, "Anything can happen in this kind of place, and I am used to seeing this kind of thing, since you say that you have not done it, then treat it as if you did nothing." ”

The shopkeeper obviously still believed Qiu Xin and the others, Shi Weihu glared, and said, "How can you be so rude, there are so many people in the inn, you don't suspect it, but you suspect that it has come to us, are you looking for a fight?"

The shopkeeper was not afraid when he heard this, but took out a handkerchief, slowly wiped the blood from his hands, and suddenly said, "Although there are many people in the inn, there are not many people who practice martial arts, and there are not many people like you who practice martial arts in pairs. ”

The innkeeper revealed everyone's identities in one sentence, and Dao Ba was also a little stunned, and said, "How do you know that we are people who practice martial arts?"

"Look at you, all of you are full of anger. Speaking of this, the shopkeeper paused, pointed to Qiu Xin and said, "In addition to him, even the women are full of evil spirits, and you walk with a steady breath and full of strength, you must be people who practice martial arts." ”

He took a deep look at Dao Ba, and the shopkeeper's thin face showed a sly smile, and said, "Don't think that the old man fell asleep last night, there were exactly five people in the middle of the night, and they were well-behaved, and they could hang the two big men in the air without borrowing foreign objects, except for the people who practiced martial arts, the old man had no other explanation." ”

Last night, Qiu Xin and a few people just felt that someone was coming, but they didn't know how many people it was, and they didn't expect that this shopkeeper even said the number of people clearly, which was suspicious.

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper changed his words and said, "However, it's not the person you killed, the old man does a lot of nonsense, but when you double the price, leave quickly, otherwise, there will be enemies looking for you." ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper went downstairs with two bloodstained hands on his back, and Daoba's face was cloudy, still thinking about what the shopkeeper had just said, when suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said, "Let's go!"

The five of them did not pause, went back to the room and brought their things, and when Dao Eight left the inn, he also threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper, and arched his hand, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

He got on his horse and left the town.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper smiled slightly, accepted the silver, and lowered his body to lick the remaining blood stains in his hands.

But the road is, wilderness town, people's hearts are unpredictable, they don't stay, and the horses are on the side.
