Jiaohua

Chapter 930 Overnight Inn (Update 7.1)

The night is dark and the sky is dark.

The sporadic lights in the village are not enough to light up the night sky.

Suddenly, from someone's house, children were crying, howling like wolves, so loud that all the shopkeepers in front of the village opened their eyes and felt irritated.

But most of the villagers were kind to the children, complained a few words, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Chuzheng was in a deep nightmare, but she couldn't open her eyes no matter what.

She seemed to hear the cry of the child, but it seemed she couldn't hear it.

Her limbs were filled with heavy mercury, and she tried desperately to open her eyes, but she couldn't.

In the dream, the girl stood on the roof and smiled at her.

The expression was not ferocious, and even a bit peaceful, but this smile made Chuzheng feel fear and fear from the bottom of his heart.

Those who died under Chu Zheng's sword all got up.

One by one they struggled out of the ground, half-rotten, and dragged her to the ground.

Chu Zheng shook her head desperately, trying desperately to wake up.

help, help...

Suddenly, Chuzheng broke free from the nightmare, her eyes widened.

There was cold sweat all over her forehead, and she gasped for breath, looking at the endless darkness in front of her.

After a long time, Chuzheng slowed down.

She climbed up lightly, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured water into the cup.

Since the battle in Yuxi Tower in Shoushi City, she has not had a good night's sleep these days.

This deep and dark despair made Chuzheng feel exhausted and mentally exhausted.

When the teapot was lifted, the last drop of tea fell into the cup, so crisp, but her ears moved, as if she heard other sounds.

Chuzheng's scalp was numb and his whole body was stiff.

There was indeed a sound. She was sure it wasn't her hallucination just now.

It fell from the eaves, and the feet touched the ground very lightly.

It's... next door.

After leaving Yuxi Tower, the four of them were divided into two places.

Yu Yanchi and Liu Hui faced south.

She and Yu Xiang came to the northeast.

This is the fifth day.

Now, Yu Xiang is next door.

There was no movement anymore, but Chuzheng felt that someone was definitely moving in the darkness.

Her heart was pounding, beating fast.

"Meow!" Suddenly, a stray cat called, which made Chuzheng almost scream in fright.

She covered her mouth with her hands and opened her eyes wide.

Yes, it should be fine, um, absolutely fine.

Even so, Chuzheng herself is a killer who follows others for thousands of miles. When she hunts and kills others, even after ten days, she can find the route from the clues.

She has tried her best to destroy all possible traces, but... she is just afraid.

"Second Miss, is this really the village?" Zhan Ning squatted on the roof, looking at the room where the baby was crying in the distance.

Xia Zhaoyi stood beside him, looking around the village, looking at the banners hanging with "stack" or "teahouse" one by one.

"Then, shall we check one by one now, or..." Zhan Ning said again.

"It's sleep," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "Zhan Ning, you're not sleepy."

"Not sleepy, not sleepy, Second Miss, we are scouts, and we are best at night raids!"

"The scouts must be tired."

"Being a soldier is not tiring, but you must fight!" Zhan Ning's eyes brightened, "It's great to have the second lady now. When we were in the northwest, we missed the second lady all day long."

"It's great that I have you all." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.

On the contrary, Zhan Ning became embarrassed: "Haha."

"Let's go." Xia Zhaoyi said.

The reason why I went to the roof was to pick an inn with bright lights.

If not, you have to stay away from the crying baby's house.

The village is located near the official road.

In recent years, the officialdom has declined, and there are few people who communicate with them. However, the old tradition of several inns remains unchanged. They will leave a lamp, waiting for night travelers passing by to knock on the door.

It is convenient to get along with others, and at the same time, a small increase in money makes both parties happy.

Xia Zhaoyi and Zhan Ning finished the check-in procedures and asked for two rooms. Because it was too late and it was not easy for the other guys to get up and boil hot water for a bath, they went to bed first.

"Then, do you want some snacks? The fire in the back kitchen is always on, and the master of the stove won't put it out. We have steamed buns all the time, but we don't have much meat, so we can't afford it now." The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.

"No need, we'll leave as soon as we sleep." Xia Zhaoyi laughed.

"Okay!" said the shopkeeper, and couldn't help but add, "Young girl is so pretty when she smiles. Judging by her demeanor and expression, you can tell that she is not waiting for someone else."

"Sight." Zhan Ning gave a thumbs up.

"Hahaha..." The shopkeeper smiled lowly.

A clerk led them up to the second floor. There were several peach and bamboo lamps placed in the corridor, so as not to disturb other residents. The clerk's voice was very soft, and Zhan Ning and Xia Zhaoyi also moved lightly.

"Meow!" A wild cat yelled nearby suddenly.

The man trembled in fright, trembling with the paper lantern in his hand, and cursed: "This damned wild cat just yelled a few times, in the middle of the night, how scary."

"I can't do it, buddy," Zhan Ning said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of chasing away customers, so remember to change the rhetoric in the future, so that the residents will be happy when they hear it."

The clerk was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was quick: "Yes, yes, these words may scare the two guest officers. I should say, spring is after the twelfth lunar month, and spring is coming soon. The movement of the cat in the middle of the night is also Let’s make a fuss, haha.”

"My little brother speaks in a subtle way, Zhong Er," Zhan Ning boasted, "You are living in this inn, why don't you go tell a story, it will definitely make a difference!"

"Auspicious words from the guest officer, I'll ask tomorrow if I'm still hiring! Haha!"

Zhan Ning and Xia Zhaoyi also laughed.

The clerk lit up the lights in Xia Zhaoyi's room, closed the door and left, and went to Zhanning's room next door.

When I came out, I saw the wild cat jumping away from the window sill and meowing to other people's houses. The man shook his head: "It's really noisy!"

Going back downstairs, the shopkeeper went to sleep, leaving another guy on duty with him for the night.

The buddy also felt sleepy while sitting, so he talked to his companion, and then snorted on an Eight Immortals table in the lobby.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, a small hand suddenly pushed him away.

"Wake up, wake up! Oh, wake up!"

The man opened his eyes and rubbed the corners of his eyes to see the person who pushed him, Xiao Lanwu, the daughter of Aunt Lin in the village.

"What's the matter?" asked the man. "What are you doing?"

Xiao Lanwu wore two shofar braids, opened her mouth, and shouted at him with two empty front teeth: "Let me ask you, did you have any customers in your store last night?"

"Huh? How do you know that?"

"Is it a woman?" Xiao Lanwu said again.

"There's a girl, why, you girl didn't sleep last night? Did you hear anything?"

"Don't worry about me!" The little girl looked angry, "Quickly tell me how old she is, how tall she is, how thin she is, whether her eyes are big or not, and her skin is fair or not!"

"Hey! Why did I tell you?"

"Say it, tell it!" the little girl yelled, "I want to see if it's the person who bullied me! I've been bullied!"

"That's it." The buddy recalled Xia Zhaoyi's expression and appearance, and described it to the little girl.
