The layout of the lobby of Miyue Inn is somewhat similar to Duan Wenjun's welcoming restaurant.
After entering the door, there is a table and chair area for guests to eat. The shopkeeper's cash register is at the top of the lobby.
Behind the cash register, there is a row of shelves with many wine jars on them.
Unexpectedly, there were actually several wine jars with the words "Shao Knife" written on them.
The Duan family's Shaodaozi wine has only recently been relaxed in terms of purchase. You don't have to eat to buy it, and you can buy it separately for takeout.
However, when taking away, the quantity is limited, and one person cannot exceed one kilogram.
Looking at the counter of Miyue Inn, there must be dozens of kilograms of wine in several jars. It seems that someone was specially sent to Wangjiang to buy and transport it in turn.
What made Duan Wenjun a little uneasy was the situation in front of the cash register.
The ink inside the inkstone on the cabinet has dried up, and the brush has slipped to the side of the inkstone and is now dry.
Next to the inkstone is an account book with accounts densely written on it.
However, it finally stopped at a certain moment.
The last character "Liang" with a silver pattern of three ounces was only written in a frame, but the two characters "人" inside it had not had time to be written.
The drawer of the cash register cabinet is half open, and the silver ingots inside can be seen through the gap, reflecting a faint light.
If something urgent hadn't happened, it would have been impossible for the shopkeeper to leave halfway through the account book, let alone leave the drawer where the money was kept unlocked.
If something happened and they were kidnapped, who wouldn't be interested in so much money?
"Brothers, tidy up this place!" Zhao Xiaowu had already led people to take care of the animals and walked in.
Seeing Duan Wenjun looking around with furrowed brows, he thought he thought the environment was too bad and hurriedly led others to clean it up.
"What do you think?" Duan Wenjun turned to look at Yun Batian next to him.
"It's not like asking for money, nor is there a fight." Yun Batian frowned, "But where did these people go?"
"It's not just people who are missing." Chai Jingyun came in from outside. "Have you noticed that there is not a single living thing in the entire town."
Duan Wenjun nodded.
This is what worries him the most.
If it was because of something, everyone left.
It is impossible to take away all the animals here, such as chickens, dogs, etc.
People are gone, but if these animals are still there, it will definitely not be difficult to find something to eat in this huge empty town.
Therefore, they cannot all starve to death.
Besides, even if he starved to death, there should be a body there.
But no one saw it.
All this is really too weird.
"Young Master, have we entered a ghost town?" Zhao Xiaowu's voice trembled a little when he heard Chai Jingyun's words.
Ghost town…
Duan Wenjun felt this way from the first moment he entered the town.
But, he didn't say it out loud.
Because he never believed in these nonsense things.
In his previous life, he was a good young man in the new century and would never believe in these supernatural things.
"Ah? Ghost town?" Chai Jingyun's face changed greatly when he heard this, "Could it be..."
Chai Jingyun's face became very ugly.
It seemed that he was very scared.
Not only Chai Jingyun, but also the faces of the other people who came in turned pale.
"Xiaowu, what are you talking about?" Duan Wenjun glared at Zhao Xiaowu fiercely.
Maybe everyone was just a little suspicious at first, so there were so many people together, so they weren't too worried.
But being exposed by Zhao Xiaowu in this way, everyone started to get nervous.
"Loulou, tell the brothers to stop being on guard outside." Chai Jingyun looked at Loulou next to him and said, "Please retreat inside the building."
Seeing Chai Jingyun's nervous look, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
Lou Loulou listened to the order and went to greet the brothers who were on guard outside.
Zhao Xiaowu led people to clean up the lobby.
Cuiping took a few people to the kitchen, found some usable ingredients, and cooked a table of meals.
Now, the situation is unclear and it is impossible for everyone to go to the room to rest, so everyone is preparing to gather in the lobby to spend the night.
However, when the food was cooked, Lou Loulou still did not come back.
"Uncle Zheng, go and see why Loulou hasn't come back yet." Chai Jingyun looked very worried and turned to look at Zheng Zheshi.
Zheng Zheshi nodded slightly, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked towards Duan Wenjun.
"Old Zheng, don't worry, we will protect the safety of the second young master." Duan Wenjun immediately understood.
This time, around Chai Jingyun, Zheng Zheshi and Lou Loulou were the most skilled in martial arts. Without them, he was naturally worried about Chai Jingyun's safety.
Zheng Zheshi nodded, then flew out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Fortunately, Zheng Zheshi came back with Lou Loulou without waiting long.
Behind Lou Loulou were several of his brothers.
However, their faces are not very good-looking.
"What's wrong?" Duan Wenjun was shocked and asked first.
"A brother is missing." Lou Loulou's face was stern. "I took the brothers and searched around, but I didn't find any clues."
"Uncle Zheng, is that legend about the ghost town true?" Chai Jingyun suddenly stared at Zheng Zheshi and spoke.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"That happened decades ago, and it happened in the north." Zheng Zheshi frowned slightly, "I think it's unlikely."
"Second Young Master, I'll go out and explore again!" Then he spoke again.
"Forget it! Let's wait until dawn!" Chai Jingyun rejected him directly.
"But that brother..." Lou Loulou was still very intolerant.
This time when he followed Chai Jingyun to Beijing, he chose brothers who had been with him for many years, and they were all the best among the best.
He was really worried and uncomfortable when someone disappeared for no apparent reason.
"Loulou, I know how you feel. But we can't be reckless now." Chai Jingyun walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, when it's daytime tomorrow, we can turn this Fenglingdu upside down." Find that brother."
Lou Loulou, unable to resist Chai Jingyun's words, could only nodded.
Although, in his heart, he was still very worried about that brother's safety.
Chai Jingyun told everyone to eat quickly and take time to rest after eating.
Lou Loulou and Zhao Xiaowu arranged for a few more people to keep watch.
After eating and drinking, there was nothing unusual. Just when everyone fell into a deep sleep, Duan Wenjun was woken up by a strange sound.
It seemed like someone was playing a drum.
Moreover, the drum sound seemed very dull.
It was as if something was wrapping the drum head and beating it.
He frowned and sat up directly, but found that everyone was awake.
Apparently, it wasn't just him who heard it, everyone heard it...
