Rather be a dog in a prosperous world, not a person in a troubled world.

This statement is valid no matter where it is placed.

The slave owner who led the way for Chu Yujia and was called Alcan was from an official family, and his status was only higher than that of commoners and slaves.

When he was young, he lived in the capital, and he really loved a girl from an aristocratic family in the capital, but when he came to the door to propose, he was beaten by the other party.

At that time, he recognized the reality and became more aware of his identity and status.

From then on, he began to use his family's connections to start a slave business.

After listening to his story, Chu Yujia raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "To put it bluntly, we are all hard-working people......

The group marched forward for half a day, and finally arrived in a small town before sunset.

With Alcan leading the way, I found a post house on the edge.

These inns were for merchants, and they all provided special places for slaves to rest.

Of course, it was not a good place for slaves to live, but a simple straw hut like a livestock pen.

The slave owner Al Can drove these slaves in one by one, and then left the servants to guard the slaves, and he took Chu Yujia and his party into the inn.

Because the relationship between the Gumo Kingdom and the Mingwu Empire has never meant to ease, there are very few merchants of the Mingwu Empire that can be seen in the Gumo Kingdom over the years, and it can almost be said that there are none.

So when Chu Yujia and his party walked in, they immediately attracted the attention of others.

But when they didn't see anything special about them, they all turned back to their own business, eating and drinking, and ignored them when they had a word of small talk.

Al Can led Chu Yujia, Sheng Guang, and Yan Ju to sit down at a table near the window.

Soon the guy in the inn ran up and asked, "Three distinguished guests, what do you want to eat?"

Alcan waved his hand indiscriminately and said, "You can eat and drink anything, as long as you can fill your stomach." ”

Dude's favorite is such a casual and indiscriminate guest.

The guy simply agreed: "This is easy to do, please wait a while, you will be delivered immediately." ”

The words fell, and the guy turned and left.

While waiting for the obituary to deliver food and drink, Chu Yujia also listened attentively to the chats of the other guests.

These guests are all residents of the vicinity of the inn, they all know each other, and they are not inhibited when they talk.

But to Chu Yujia's disappointment, these people were talking about some trivial things.

But when Chu Yujia turned around, he suddenly heard the conversation of the two middle-aged people at the table next to him.

"I heard last night. I've lost two more women in the town......"

"I've heard about it, I've lost ten, right?"

"En......"

The middle-aged man nodded, and said with some trepidation: "If no one comes out to control, I see that everyone in the town who has a woman will run away." ”

"It's not that it doesn't matter, it's that it can't be managed......"

"It is said that the Legion Commander has transferred many elite dead soldiers from other armies, but to no avail......"

Another middle-aged man sighed and said, "I don't know who did such a lack of morality......

"I don't think it's necessarily human......"

The middle-aged man said with a mysterious face: "I guess there may be ghosts out of the town......

Hearing this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Chu Yujia's face.

It's just that this smile is a mockery.

Ghosts?

It's also up to these people to think of it......

If there were ghosts in this world, he would have been taken to hell a long time ago, how could he have lived until now?

Seeing the disdainful expression on his face, the two middle-aged men were unhappy.

One of them turned his head, looked at Chu Yujia with a frown, and said, "Stranger, what are you laughing at?"

"The loss of a woman must have been done by a human being in the final analysis. ”

Chu Yujia smiled lightly and said, "It's just that the government didn't catch anyone......

"You're a foreigner, you know what?"

The middle-aged man who said that it was a ghost pursed his lips disdainfully, and said: "You don't know anything about the situation at all, these guys are elusive, even now no one has seen what these guys look like, if you are really capable, just arrest him and let us see, if you don't have this ability, don't fart here." ”

Chu Yujia didn't mind the middle-aged man's frontal scolding, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

At this time, the guy brought the food over with a tray.

Chu Yujia ignored him anymore, and took the chopsticks handed over by Yan Ju and began to eat.

Chu Yujia is cold by nature, and he has nothing to do with himself, he has always been too lazy to meddle in things.

Similarly, Chu Yujia has always been too lazy to talk nonsense with this kind of little person.

But Chu Yujia himself knew that he didn't care about the other party, but the middle-aged man didn't think so.

Seeing that Chu Yujia didn't speak, the middle-aged man thought that he knew that he was wrong, so he gave him another look, and then continued to chat with his companions.

When they finished eating and the shopkeeper came over again, Alcan asked, "Man, do we have any spare rooms here?"

"Absolutely. ”

It's also because the first impression of these people is good, and the guy is very enthusiastic.

Alcan took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and handed it to the man, saying, "We are all tired for a day, we want to take a good rest, and I ask you to arrange three first-class rooms for us." ”

The price of goods in Gumo Country is not high, and a piece of broken silver can buy a lot of things, and the guy's mouth can't be closed.

The guy nodded and thanked Al Chan again.

Alcan waved his hand indiscriminately and said, "It's nothing, you can take us there now." ”

"Good ......"

"Distinguished guests, please come with me. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation and led a few people to the backyard.

The town is not large, and it is not located on the main traffic road, so there are not many merchants passing by, and it seems very calm here, and there are few rooms with people at all.

After entering the backyard, the guy led Chu Yujia and the others directly to the second floor, stopped in front of the three guest rooms, and asked with a smile: "Distinguished guests, are you satisfied with these three upper rooms?"

The three guest rooms were adjacent, and Chu Yujia walked into them, feeling that the inside was spacious and clean enough, so he nodded and said, "Just these few rooms." ”

Alcan also nodded, handed the fellow a small piece of silver, and said, "You can also go down and rest." ”

"Thank you. ”

Seeing the silver guy, he smiled happily, and walked away with the silver in his hand.

Because of the day's travel, Al Can was tired and talked to Chu Yujia, and then returned to his room.

Chu Yujia has one room by himself, Sheng Guang and Yan Ju have one room, and this is the place to live.

Because of the hurried for days, the three of them were also very tired, so they didn't talk too much, but after explaining a few words of caution, they went back to their rooms and slept with their heads covered.

But in the dead of night, some places are not quiet.

I don't know how long I slept, Chu Yujia was suddenly awakened by a short and slight sound......

Chu Yujia's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his bright eyes......
