"If everything is true as you said, then the shopkeeper will definitely feel extremely guilty and will treat you like a distinguished guest. Do you dare to go?"
Hearing these words, the young man was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "These have nothing to do with you, I will not leave this place."
"This is the place where eldest brother and I last met. If I leave, he won't be able to find me when he comes back. You can leave."
The young man frowned deeply, his face full of unwillingness. When he mentioned his eldest brother, there were some tears in his eyes, and he looked very aggrieved.
Yue Lingxiao still wanted to ask these questions clearly, but Lin Fan said: "Okay, even if you want to know the truth, this is not necessarily the only way."
"Let's go back first and ask others about the same."
Yue Lingxiao nodded and said, "It's easy to commit a crime."
Back at the inn, the shopkeeper came here just because of some things.
Yue Lingxiao stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, who is that young man just now? Why are you so tolerant to him?"
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper was slightly startled. When he came to his senses, he smiled bitterly and said, "I wonder why the guest officer cares so much about that young man? Could it be that there is some connection between you and this young man?" ?”
The shopkeeper seemed to have some difficulties and was unwilling to mention such a thing.
Yue Lingxiao then said: "I heard the young man say that he became so miserable because of you. This is the reason why you have been tolerant."
"If there is any misunderstanding between you, then you should make everything clear, and you cannot let him be a beggar all the time.
"If this is really your fault, should you also admit such responsibility?"
The shopkeeper was shocked. He never thought that the young man would tell all this to the person in front of him.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper no longer concealed anything, but sighed deeply and said: "He is right, I owe something."
"I have been working hard for so many years and have been trying to change Xiao Yan's life, but I have always been unable to do so."
"Since you have some fate with him, and he is willing to tell you this, maybe you can help him get out of this predicament and not let him rest on his laurels."
Hearing this, Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Then you'd better explain all these reasons clearly, so that we can know how to do it."
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Okay, I'm willing to tell you. It's just that it's not convenient to say this in this place. Why don't we go to the backyard."
"That's fine."
backyard.
The shopkeeper explained the ins and outs of these things, and everyone finally knew that this was not entirely the shopkeeper's fault.
Many years ago, some thieves appeared on the mountain, and the government posted a notice. Anyone who could catch all these thieves would be a hero of the city.
Those who have made meritorious deeds can get an official position in the yamen and become a hero in this place.
Some people came forward after seeing the notice, hoping to accomplish such a thing, and Xiao Yan's eldest brother was one of them.
Both of their parents died when they were young. The two brothers depended on each other and lived in poverty. Xiao Yan's eldest brother doesn't have to be a hero, he just hopes to make life better and make Xiao Yan more relaxed.
Xiao Yan's eldest brother and the shopkeeper were friends many years ago. The two of them went to the yamen to register together and followed the yamen servants to the mountain.
More than a month later, the thieves disappeared without any reason, and most of the people on the mountain also disappeared. The shopkeeper was lucky enough to save half his life and return to this city, but Xiao Yan's eldest brother never came back.
The shopkeeper felt that Xiao Yan was very pitiful, so he thought of treating him as his younger brother. Little did he know that Xiao Yan would direct all his anger at the shopkeeper, and he didn't believe what he said at all.
For so many years, Xiao Yan has been going to this inn almost every day. Those things back then are rarely mentioned. Even the grievances between them, the shopkeeper is unwilling to say anything more.
But if Xiao Yan comes, no matter what the waiter or other customers think, the shopkeeper will definitely protect Xiao Yan and will not let anyone take him to the Yamen.
After a long time, Xiao Yan felt that the shopkeeper really owed something, so he did these things.
But on the other hand, Xiao Yan didn't believe that his eldest brother would never come back, so he kept waiting.
After hearing these old memories, Yue Lingxiao sighed deeply and said: "It turns out that there are still so many things happening. Shopkeeper, you have worked really hard these years, but you really have no regrets. Of?"
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "I can't say whether it's painful or not. I just hope Xiao Yan can cheer up."
"No matter whether his eldest brother can come back or not, he probably doesn't want to see Xiao Yan like this. If a few people can persuade Xiao Yan to let go of his obsession back then, I will definitely give him a big thank you."
Yue Lingxiao then said: "Shopkeeper, you are too polite. This is my business, and it certainly has nothing to do with you."
"Now that I know all these reasons, I think it won't be difficult to get Xiao Yan to let go of these things."
The shopkeeper bowed and said, "That's good work."
After the shopkeeper left, Lin Fan finally said: "Yue Lingxiao, how can you tell whether what the shopkeeper said is true or false?"
Yue Lingxiao sighed softly and said, "I'm not sure, and I don't care about this. I just feel that this Xiao Yan is very pitiful."
"If it can change his current situation, it will be a good thing. Lin Fan, I have taken care of this business. I will definitely find out the reason why those people disappeared back then."
After saying this, Yue Lingxiao turned around and left. In his opinion, these are just mortal matters and have nothing to do with gods, demons, or ancient times.
Although Yue Lingxiao's spiritual power is not high, it should not be difficult to do this.
Lin Fan then said: "I will follow you and go to the mountain to see what's going on.
Yue Lingxiao was very confused and said: "Lin Fan, this is just a trivial matter, why are you willing to do this?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "You haven't noticed that Xiao Yan is wearing an accessory that looks like a chess piece."
At this time, Yue Lingxiao took a breath, completely in disbelief. If this all has to do with chess pieces, it becomes much more complicated.
Shui Ruoqing also stepped forward and said, "I already know what happened. Let's go to the mountain to have a look."
"Okay, let's go."
"kindness."
Lin Fan and his party went to the mountain. They didn't find any evil spirits here, or even any clues. They felt that things were a bit suspicious.
Yue Lingxiao frowned slightly and said, "It's really strange. If Xiao Yan's eldest brother is just an ordinary person, how can he know the appearance of the chess pieces?"
"The chess pieces on the eternal chessboard are completely different from ordinary chess pieces. Even though they are just fake, it also shows that at least someone has seen what the real chess pieces look like. But who is that person?"
Lin Fan looked around the place and said: "It seems that today is going to be a waste of time. Let's go back. Since we are all here, I believe that person will appear soon."
"All right."
Lin Fan and his party were in vain, so they had no choice but to return to the inn before making plans.
