"Hey, why are you crying? If you want to cry, drag the corpse to the wild and cry. Don't affect our business here..|"

Hearing the cry, the shopkeeper raised his head to take a look, shook his head and continued to doze off; but the busy old woman cursed and looked dissatisfied.

Because of the disgust of the merchants in the past, it is difficult to do business here.Someone is holding a dead body and crying nearby in the middle of the night, who else dares to come here to lodge?Those who barely live in, who else wants to eat?

Hearing the old woman's scolding, the middle-aged women outside quickly shut up.There was no crying, but the tears kept flowing, crying silently, heartbroken.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on here?" Mu Feng put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked the old woman who was passing by.

"Well, it's a long story to commit crimes."

The old woman shook her head, perhaps because she was tired, so she just sat down to rest, "Speaking of which, the mother and daughter are also pitiful. They couldn't give birth to a son, and both of them were kicked out. With nowhere to go, they had to go to Jianning City to seek refuge with their distant relatives, and they came here depending on each other. Maybe it was depressed, maybe it was exhausted, and my daughter lived here. In the evening, early in the morning of the next day, people will die. Poor, I went to Zhushan Temple to burn incense and make a wish the night before. When the time of death comes, I still can’t escape. This is fate, alas..."

"Sudden death, didn't you ask the doctor to see?" Mu Feng asked.

"Hey, it's a barren mountain with no people at all. Where can I find a doctor?"

The old woman shook her head, and then said: "Going out, no money, no influence, and no relatives. If you die, you will die, even the government doesn't care. Alas, it's really pitiful. Seeing how pitiful their mother and daughter are, I don't even care about them eating and drinking. The money for staying in the inn is free, but this is not an option for a mother who has been crying outside the inn with her daughter's body in her arms. If this continues, how can we open the door for business?"

"This is five taels of silver, including the expenses of the two of them.|The rest, store, you can help them buy a coffin and find a place to bury it!"

Mu Feng took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and put them on the table, glanced lightly at the poor mother and daughter outside, turned around and lowered his head to pick up the rice.

Looking at it from a distance, he already concluded that the woman lying on the ground had died long ago, and there was no cure.I don't know if it's because of my depressed life or what, but there is still a resentment in my body, if I don't hurry up and bury him, maybe I will turn into a dead body.At that time, the first person to suffer would probably be the crying mother lying on top of her.

"Okay, my son is full of heaven, and he will be rich and powerful in the future. I will first thank you on behalf of the mother and daughter." The old woman smiled and stretched out her hand to put away the silver on the table.

"Hey, old man, has the shopkeeper of this inn changed again? I often walk up and down this road, why don't I seem to have never seen you two?" Uncle Fu ate two bowls of rice one after another, looked up and smiled happily The old woman suddenly frowned suspiciously.

Hearing what he said, the old woman paused slightly, and said: "Yes, we two old couples just came back from Jiangling, and the family has no land left, so we had to take over this inn, hoping to earn some meager silver to spend our old age .The business here is too difficult to do. It has been several days since the market was settled, and I can’t make ends meet every day. Alas..."

The old woman sighed and reached out to grab the silver taels on the table.Unexpectedly, just as he was about to put it away, Mu Feng yelled again.Immediately, the old woman's expression turned ugly, and the smile on her face seemed a little stiff.

"Shopkeeper, wait a minute!"

Mu Feng paused, looked at the old woman with a sluggish smile, and continued slowly: "In addition to staying in the hotel, you also need to eat and feed the horses. Old man, now a thin coffin costs a lot of money, five taels Is the money enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough, young master, don't worry. There are some old trees in the back of our house, and it doesn't cost much to ask someone to cut them down to make a coffin."

The old woman hurriedly said that enough was enough, grabbed the broken silver on the table, turned around and left, and got busy in the kitchen.

Seeing her going back, Mu Feng hurriedly ate a bowl of rice, and after Fu Bo put down the bowl and chopsticks, he said, "Fu Bo, are you full? Do you want another cooked beef, or a plate of fried beef?" chicken?"

"That's enough, I'm full, thank you Mr. Mu." Uncle Fu hiccupped and smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, let's go, you've been tired all day, go to bed early!"

Mu Feng turned around and left calmly, and after closing the door of his own room, his face became solemn.First check the guest room carefully, and after confirming that there is nothing unusual, spread out the quilt, pretending to be curled up inside and sleeping soundly.Then go to a dark corner and sit cross-legged, watching the changes.

For some reason, he felt more and more that something was wrong with this inn.

Forber's inadvertent words deepened his suspicion.When the old woman reached for the silver taels on the table, he accidentally discovered that the old woman's hands did not show any traces of calluses, and she did not look like a person who had been doing rough work for a long time.Although her words sounded perfect, they always gave people a feeling of unreliability.The shopkeeper, who has been dozing off on the counter, seems to be drowsy, but it seems that it is not easy to raise his head immediately at the slightest sign of trouble!

Details are the key!

For the Poison Sect and his party, Mu Feng became more cautious and became more and more good at observing details.Sometimes a lot of things can be deduced from the other party's inadvertent words and demeanor.These skills cannot be learned in books, and need to be understood and pondered in daily life.

Just now, the reason why I kept my face so calm was just so as not to scare the snake and Fu Bo who was already panicked.

Now, sitting cross-legged, he calmed down.I would like to see what is so weird about this inn!

"Shopkeeper, storekeeper, get the horses in order."

"Don't be busy, first serve the good wine and good food, I'm almost starving. Guizi, where are there so many dead snakes on the mountain, it's frightening people, let's have a jar of wine first to calm the shock!"

"Ma'am, this way please!"

……

Outside the inn, a few more people came to stay overnight, and a carriage was escorted by a few big men like guards to a stop outside.A veiled woman in black came down from the carriage. Her steps were light and her waist was slender. It seemed that she should be a slim woman in her prime.

Maybe he was really hungry, and the guards yelled as soon as they came in. After tossing back and forth for nearly an hour, the inn slowly quieted down.

Mu Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and remained motionless, secretly paying attention to the movement outside and waiting quietly.

One hour, two hours...

Slowly, the night became darker and thicker, the inn became quieter and quieter, and people were already falling asleep.Only the occasional sound of the old woman washing the dishes and the footsteps of the shopkeeper's old man carrying a lantern to watch the night.Slowly, in the early hours of the morning, even the footsteps of the old man watching the night disappeared, and they seemed to have fallen asleep, without any abnormalities.

"Could it be that everything is my own paranoia?"

Mu Feng frowned, just about to get up and open the window to take a breath of fresh air outside.Suddenly, a gust of wind came from the bamboo forest behind the inn, making the clothes hanging in the yard whistling.In the icy cold wind, accompanied by a faint fragrance, one inhale makes one feel drowsy and confused.

Ecstasy?

Startled, Mu Feng quickly held his breath, suppressed the breath and power fluctuations in his body, and concentrated on sensing the surrounding movements.

After waiting quietly for so long, I finally got something strange.
