My butt hurts a bit though.
Chu Tianshu was solved and the Chu family was on the right track. Xiao Ran felt relaxed all over.
Leaving now seems like a good option.
This thought flashed past, and Xiao Ran shook his head.
"Forget it, the things in this bag are not enough for me to survive for a year." Xiao Ran sighed.
He couldn't leave now. After walking for a long time, Xiao Ran saw a post station in the distance and asked Laifu to stop slowly.
If you don't rest, your body won't be able to bear it anymore.
It happened to be getting dark, so they might as well stay here for one night.
Entering the store, there was only a woman in black clothing, bored and dazed.
The moment Xiao Ran walked in, his eyes lit up when he saw the woman.
"Guest! It's better to stay in the hotel." The woman walked out from the front desk.
"Prepare two rooms for me." Xiao Ran put the baggage on the dining table in the hall, his back aching.
The woman glanced at Xiao Ran and smiled: "What kind of house do you want?"
"Go to the bedroom." Laifu said.
The woman nodded and asked the two of them to follow her upstairs with their things.
"You go ahead, I'll sit down for a while."
Xiao Ran sat down, a little tired.
I looked at the inn and saw that there was no one there. Could it be that she was a woman?
After a while, Xiao Ran discovered that there was another person inside and walked out of the room.
When he saw Xiao Ran, he showed the same joy as the woman.
"Are there guests?"
Looking at this middle-aged man, Xiao Ran felt a little wary.
"Are you the boss?"
The man nodded: "Yes, this inn is run by our husband and wife."
"Let's get something to eat." Xiao Ran felt a little unbearable after eating solid food for a day.
"Okay, look at the menu, what do you want to eat?"
The man pointed to the sign hanging at the front desk.
Xiao Ran casually ordered two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish before the man left.
After a while, Laifu came down from above and looked in a good mood.
"Uncle, the environment here seems to be pretty good."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran was slightly surprised. How could the environment in this place be good?
After all, no one comes here for ten days and a half, and even the decoration is very old. How can the guest room be any better? Xiao Ran didn't hold out much hope, just seeing Laifu like this, he just thought that Laifu's requirements were relatively low.
After a while, the food was served, and Xiao Ran asked Laifu to eat something simple with him.
After having a full meal, Laifu went to feed the horses.
Xiao Ran walked out of the inn and saw that the surrounding area was completely bare. There were only two whole mountains and no green plants. It looked like it had been deserted for a long time.
"Will anyone really come to this place?"
Xiao Ran was still doubtful when he suddenly saw two carriages approaching slowly.
"Really?" The slap in the face came so quickly that Xiao Ran felt a little caught off guard.
After a while, two carriages stopped outside the inn.
The man who got off the carriage was very tall, like a northerner.
After the man got out of the car, he came to the carriage behind. It seemed to be a woman. The man reached out to help her.
A pair of slender hands stretched out, looking like a beauty!
Xiao Ran suddenly became curious.
The door curtain slowly opened, and a beautiful woman stuck her head out from inside.
Meditate on your heart!
Why is she here?
Xiao Ran returned to the inn without saying hello.
It seemed that the relationship between the two was unusual. Thinking of Shen Yixin's identity, Xiao Ran decided not to rush up to say hello to Shen Yixin. If there was a misunderstanding, it would be troublesome.
Seeing the two people outside walking towards the inn, Xiao Ran turned around and walked upstairs.
When they went upstairs, they saw Tianzi Room No. 1. Just as Laifu came back from feeding the horses outside, he saw Xiao Ran standing in front of the door.
"Why don't you go in?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he opened the door. Different from the old ones outside, the equipment and furnishings inside were all brand new.
Even the bed was made of pear wood, and it looked like a lot of work had been done to decorate the room. No wonder Laifu was so surprised.
Xiao Ran was lying on the bed, feeling that the bed board was a little hard.
What's going on? I turned over and felt a little uncomfortable.
The furnishings here are so good, why is it so uncomfortable to sleep?
I touched the quilt on the bed and felt a little cool. I looked at the quilt and saw that the quilt was made of fine silk.
After all, Xiao Ran has been exposed to silk and satin for such a long time, so he naturally knows the goods.
"This is a good thing." Xiao Ran smiled.
Then he put it on his body. After riding in the carriage for a day, he was very tired.
Not long after, snoring slowly began.
Xiao Ran fell asleep deeper and deeper, and when he felt like he couldn't wake up, a sudden gust of cool wind blew in.
Xiao Ran opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that it was still late at night.
I looked at the open window again and found that it was not closed when I entered the house today.
He stood up and walked to the window, about to close it, when he heard a sudden creaking sound, but Xiao Ran's hand hadn't even landed on the window, so there was no way it was the sound coming from his room.
Crunch!
There was another sound, and Xiao Ran was now sure that it was the sound coming from next door, but wasn't it the room next door to Laifu?
Xiao Ran immediately became vigilant and listened to the footsteps next door, which were a little light and probably did not come from Laifu.
Is there a thief?
Thinking of the weirdness of the inn today, Xiao Ran couldn't help but become suspicious.
If this were the case, they wouldn't be able to find anything good in Laifu's room.
Just as he was thinking about it, footsteps approached from beside him, and he heard a creak, which must have been the door closing again.
Xiao Ran smiled, picked up the candle on the table and lit it.
The footsteps outside obviously stopped for a moment, and Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
No one should come in directly now, after all, Xiao Ran was clearly not asleep.
But this person was so blatant that he was probably drugged.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran had no appetite today and didn't eat much.
It felt like the footsteps outside had stopped, but there was no sign of leaving, and there seemed to be some hesitation.
Xiao Ran didn't dare to make any sound, so he lit another candle to make sure the room was bright enough, as a warning to people outside.
It's better to be careful and open the bag. There are some self-defense items that Chu Yanhong prepared for herself.
After choosing a dagger, Xiao Ran felt relieved and put the dagger into his clothes. Xiao Ran sat at the table and stared at the door in front of him.
A figure flashed past, seemingly giving up.
Xiao Ran felt a little relieved. There were only a couple in the inn today. If they barged in, they wouldn't be able to get away with it.
Especially when the person is still awake, Xiao Ran can only block this inn with only the couple!
After waiting for a while, everything became quiet outside.
It stands to reason that Shen Yixin also brought people in today. Could it be possible that they were all stunned?
Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yinxin is very likely to be in danger now.
Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment. After all, not everyone is so lucky and can wake up midway.
Thinking that Shen Yixin was about to be in danger, Xiao Ran was a little confused.
