"So that's it!"
Song Siyuan thought that Ren Kongque had become extreme and vicious because of the loss of her husband, and used the waiters at the inn as someone to vent her anger on. Now it seems that she just has a bad temper and still has a kind heart in her heart, otherwise she would not have accepted her for decades. These poor people have five shortcomings and three shortcomings.
"The old boss is dead. As the boss's surviving aunt, the inn naturally becomes hers. She has been staying at Yangquan Post all these years. Not only the guys at the inn respect her, but the merchants who come to the inn also know that she is popular. She is very loyal and will never fool anyone. She is also polite to her, and no one dares to disrespect her in words or actions."
After Xiaobian finished speaking, he finally remembered what he was here for, and patted his head: "You guys are looking at me, and you have forgotten what you are here for. The shopkeeper is not here, so I have to tell you the rules of the inn."
He put down the handkerchief in the copper basin and coughed a few times to clear his throat: "There are three thousand-year-old rules in the inn that are unbreakable."
"One, don't look at the boss lady if nothing happens."
"Two, we are responsible for the death of people and lost things after entering the inn. We will not be responsible for leaving the inn regardless of whether they are dead or alive."
"Third, you are not allowed to go out at night. Once the torches are lit on the earth arch, you must quickly return to your own yard. If anything happens because you wander around at night, we will not take any responsibility."
Yue Guanchao has already experienced the first of these three rules, and he almost lost an ear. This lesson is very profound to everyone, and even now when he thinks about it, he still takes a breath of cold air.
As for the second item, Yue Guanchao can also understand it. Whenever you stay in a hotel, life and death are the responsibility of the store. The store cannot be irresponsible. Some smart store owners will list another one. If they want to fight, they will go out and beat each other to death in the store. People are not responsible either.
As for the third item, it really aroused Yue Guanchao's curiosity. Song Siyuan stepped forward and asked: "What does the third item mean? Why are you not allowed out of the yard at night?"
Xiao Bian rubbed his head, seemingly unclear: "Sir, I don't know much about this one. It has been this old rule since I came here. If you say it is to prevent guests from wandering around, it is not so strict. At this point, there are indeed Wuding patrolling back and forth at night, as if to prevent something from coming in from the outside, and there is almost no intention to disturb the guests."
"later!"
When Yue Guanchao saw Xiao Shan lowered his voice and stretched out his neck, he knew that he was going to tell rumors. As expected, the waiter changed the subject and said mysteriously: "I asked the old blind man and I heard that the Qinling Mountains are four thousand miles long and endless. It is also a battleground for military strategists. Countless heroes and women have died in the high mountains. After these people die, their souls will become the ghost soldiers of the old god of Qinling. When night falls, they will come out to do evil, or turn into lonely ghosts to chase people. Take your life, or turn into a beast and a strange bird to devour living creatures, it’s very strange!”
"Think about it, Yangquanyi is in the Hanzhong Basin, and there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people living here. With so much popularity, the things in the Qinling Mountains won't be greedy?"
I don't know whether Xiaobian's words are true or not, but they correspond to the story told by Uncle Tang. Yue Guanchao once again heard someone mention the old god of Qinling, and he became even more curious about this old god.
"Xiang Dang, tell us about the Qinling Gods and open our eyes."
Since the Soul Palace may be involved with the Old God, he must understand what the Qinling Old God is, and maybe he can figure out where the Soul Palace is!
"This...me!"
Before Xiao Handle could speak, there was a clatter of horse hooves outside the yard, and a peacock's voice came in: "Xiao Handle, follow me to escort a group of people."
"Hey, okay, shopkeeper, I'll be here right away."
Xiao Bing signaled them to be calm and said in a low voice: "Old God of Qinling, you have to go to the old blind man. I heard that he has been the concierge since he was young. He is still here after forty years. He knows everything that happens in the inn. It’s very clear, you will definitely know if you ask him!”
After finishing speaking, the little running hall quickly followed the cavalry and set off towards the outside of the inn.
After he left, Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan looked at each other. She wanted to discuss it while it was hot, but when she remembered the annoying words he said the day before yesterday, she immediately rolled her eyes at him and turned away.
Seeing this humorous scene, Yue Erpao closed the door and knocked on the melon seeds in his pocket, teasing: "Brother, look at how angry you are at my sister Siyuan. It doesn't matter if you buy a house or land. You dare to marry a wife. Just marry a wife." Now, I still want to have two of them in three years, and I’ll look after the boss’s wife if nothing happens.”
"Yue Erpao, if I don't beat you today, I will take your surname."
"My last name is Yue, hahahahahaha."
Yue Guan's eyes were green and red, and he raised his fist and was about to hit him. Yue Erpao opened the door and ran out like a rabbit.
"Hey, these two beasts keep making trouble every day."
Yue Qingshan looked at the pair of nephews and nephews with drooped eyelids. He sucked on his pipe and was so worried that he exhaled a puff of smoke.
Sun Daqiao had no choice but to smile bitterly, shook his head and said: "If people don't go crazy, it's a waste of time for young people. Let them make trouble. We don't know what the situation will be like after entering the Soul Palace. If we two old men want to go crazy, we have to worry about whether our old bones have been made. Young people are OK!"
"Daughter, if this main hall is more comfortable, I'll let you stay here. You're a girl who has a lot of things."
Song Siyuan looked at the main hall. The study room was partitioned off on the left, and there was a gauze curtain on the right to cover the fire wall. Shelves were used to prop up the gauze curtain behind it, which served as a wall without being stuffy. There were old pear wood tables, chairs, and benches in the middle. They were made of no materials. It's expensive, but it's comfortable to live in.
