"Auntie, is there a curfew here? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Xiao Shisan grabbed an aunt carrying a basket.
"You are from outside, right? Our Qinghe Town is not peaceful at night. You two should find a place to stay as soon as possible."
The aunt said in a hurry and left, as if something bad was really going on chasing her.
"What do you think?" Xiao Shisan turned back and looked at Duan Muling.
"Ah, no, no." Duanmu Ling's face was red, hesitating and not knowing what he was talking about.
Seeing this, Xiao Shisan became even more curious and stared at Duanmu Ling closely.
Why haven't I seen this girl blush before? Her little face is as red as an apple, very attractive.
Forcibly pressing down the hand that he wanted to stretch out, Xiao Shisan pretended to cough.
"Ahem, let's find an inn first and leave a mark for Du Shaojie."
As early as on the flying boat, Xiao Shisan and others agreed on the action mark. As long as they left a mark on the street, they were not afraid that Du Shaojie would not be able to find them when he came.
Two streets away from Banner, there is an inn called "Yelai". The innkeeper is a girl with her face covered.
"Girl, go to the third room and prepare some food." Xiao Shisan took out an ingot of gold and put it on the counter.
The masked girl first looked at Xiao Shisan, and then at Duanmu Ling behind him, her eyes a little impatient.
Another scoundrel who deceived a little girl!
"Under the age of 18 in our hotel, you need to be accompanied by an elder at home to stay in the hotel!"
Xiao Shisan was stunned, looking at the disdainful look in the girl's eyes. The person under 18 years old should not be referring to him. Did she think Duan Muling was not yet 18 years old?
The other world is in line with the previous life, and a real-name system has been implemented?
Without saying anything, Xiao Shisan pulled Duanmu Ling, who was holding the goat's milk, to the stage and raised his eyebrows.
The girl looked in the direction pointed by Xiao Shisan's eyes and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Such a scale is daunting and certainly not something a child can experience!
"Sorry, we only have one room left in our hotel!"
Quickly putting away the gold ingots on the table, the masked girl secretly gave Xiao Shisan a reassuring look.
"Uh," Xiao Shisan was stunned. He didn't expect this girl to be so sensible.
Although it is common for a man and a woman to stay in a hotel with only one room, but now is obviously not the time to talk about this!
Besides, when he came in, he noticed that everywhere in this inn was covered with dust, except the front desk, which was clean. How could it possibly be full of guests?
"Just three rooms, these are enough."
Xiao Shisan sighed regretfully, took out two more ingots of gold and put them on the counter.
The masked girl looked Xiao Shisan up and down, her eyes seemed to say, at such a young age, it shouldn't be that bad!
"Sir, you are so lucky. Two guests just checked out and left."
Finally, for the sake of gold, the masked girl smiled and took out three keys and handed them to Xiao Shisan.
If the customer has money, no matter what he does!
"you are lying!"
Unexpectedly, Duan Muling suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the masked girl with a serious expression.
"No one left just now!"
Hearing this, Xiao Shisan and the masked girl breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Maybe we can go through the back door. Let's go up first. We'll have something to eat soon."
Xiao Shisan hurriedly pulled the reluctant Duan Muling upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Duan Mu Ling didn't give up after going upstairs, and continued to ask about what happened just now, and even asked Xiao Shisan why two rooms were available at once.
Xiao Shisan also didn't expect that Duanmu Ling would actually commit suicide. Fortunately, the masked girl brought dinner to him in time, so he suddenly felt relieved.
If Duan Muling kept asking him, he really couldn't guarantee whether the secret would be revealed.
"Eat, I specially asked for hot food."
Considering Duan Muling's recent situation, Xiao Shisan specifically asked the masked girl not to eat dry food, but to eat hot food, and it is best to bring a soup.
For this he paid another ingot of gold, and Xiao Shisan called the black shop!
With food in hand, Duan Muling temporarily distracted his attention and stopped asking about Xiao Shisan at the front desk.
...
Time flies, and quietly, night falls, and it becomes extremely quiet outside the inn, and no sound can be heard.
"Where has this Du Shaojie gone? Why can't he come here?" Xiao Shisan muttered while sitting at the table.
At this moment, someone knocked on his door from outside.
"It's you, what's the matter?"
Xiao Shisan opened the door, and it turned out that the masked girl was standing outside the door, holding a dinner plate in her hand.
"Sir, the night in Qinghe Town is not peaceful. Please close the doors and windows before going to bed. No matter what sounds you hear, don't be curious and never open the door."
The candlelight burning on the dinner plate reflected on her face. Xiao Shisan glanced at it, just in time to see the panic in her eyes flash away.
"Girl, tell me what's wrong."
Having heard that Qinghe Town was not peaceful twice today, Xiao Shisan was a little curious as to what was there in Qinghe Town that made the residents here so scared.
Is there really a ghost?
Thinking that he had traveled through time, Xiao Shisan felt that such illusory things might really exist.
"You can't say it, you can't say it, you'll be found. Sir, you should rest early!"
The masked girl shook her head repeatedly and went downstairs in a panic. She was still mumbling on the stairs.
"Don't blame me, don't blame me!"
Xiao Shisan, who was confused, was about to go back. When he turned around, he saw that the lights were still on in Duan Muling's room next door, and he walked over again.
"Duanmu Ling, have you rested?"
With a creak, the door opened, and Duanmu Ling's slightly haggard face was revealed.
"Is something wrong?"
It seems that even practitioners cannot resist the power from the rules. Looking at Duanmu Ling, his face changed.
"I think there should be hot water in the kitchen. Do you need it?" Xiao Shisan touched his nose.
"No!" With a bang, the door closed again.
The effect of hot goat's milk seems to be only temporary. Women are indeed emotionally unstable creatures.
"Ah~ help!"
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from downstairs.
Xiao Shisan's expression changed. He climbed over the railing and jumped directly from the second floor to the first floor. His arms were already equipped with armor.
A figure flashed past the door and window on the first floor of the inn, and it reached the door in a blink of an eye.
Then the door frame was pushed and slowly opened. Xiao Shisan raised his arms and aimed at the center of the door. The light cannon in his palm was ready to fire at any time.
"Du Shaojie?"
"Xiao Shisan!"
Unexpectedly, when the door opened, Du Shaojie's face full of panic appeared. Xiao Shisan quickly canceled the light cannon and took the armor back into the furnace space.
"Lao Du, what's the matter with you?"
"Thirteen, I finally see my relatives! Outside, it scares me to death!"
Du Shaojie flew towards Xiao Shisan like a bird jumping into the forest. After being dodged by the latter, he was unwilling to get closer and tried to get closer. In the end, Xiao Shisan pinned him down with one hand.
"Tell me what's going on first?" Xiao Shisan looked at Du Shaojie with disgust.
"I, I got lost. I was walking, walking, and it got dark. After running around for a long time, I finally saw a light here, so I ran over."
Du Shaojie hesitated for a long time and finally said it.
"Then why did you call for help?"
"I, I'm afraid of the dark!"
"grass!"
The expression on Xiao Shisan's face was visibly speechless. He thought Du Shaojie had encountered something, but he never expected that he, a dignified monk in the foundation building stage, would be afraid of the dark. The monk's face was completely embarrassed by him!
"Hehe, it's all the shadow left by childhood. Ashamed, ashamed." Seeing Xiao Shisan's expression, Du Shaojie smiled sheepishly.
"Xiao Shisan, something happened!" Suddenly, Duan Muling walked out of the room and looked outside the inn warily.
Xiao Shisan turned around and saw several shadows appearing on the door and window outside, floating in the air.
On the street, the wind also whistled, as if someone was crying or whispering, it was extremely weird!
