Chapter 67 Quiet Night

Fan Xiaoxiao and his party knew that the inn tonight was destined to be unstable.

Tongfu Inn has a good name, it values ​​​​celebration, and the owner is also very enthusiastic.

Brother Hui took his grandma and sister over. The wrinkled grandma had a stooped waist. Long-term work had prevented her from fully straightening her waist. She had lost several teeth and her cheeks were shriveled. She kept talking. He bowed down to thank these people in a very humble manner.

"Thank you, thank you! You are such kind-hearted people! Brother Hui, Brother Hui, come here and salute these kind people!" Grandma's gray hair kept trembling with her voice. Brother Hui supported grandma and kept saying yes. With.

Fan Xiaoxiao hurriedly held her grandma's other side. She suddenly thought of her grandma. She wondered how her grandma was doing.

The younger sister timidly hid behind her grandma, then stuck out her little head. Her pair of big black grape-like eyes were particularly bright on her thin face. She carefully looked at the group of people. If she met someone looking at her, , immediately buried his face behind grandma’s clothes.

Both grandma and sister's clothes had a lot of patches, but they were all clean and had no tatters. It seemed that grandma was very careful and capable, and she kept herself and her granddaughter clean.

"Cao'er, come out!"

Grandma broke away from Brother Hui's support and pulled out the little girl behind her.

"These big brothers and sisters are all good people. Come over and say thank you to them!"

"Grandma." The little girl's voice was quieter than a mosquito. I'm afraid only Fan Xiaoxiao heard it.

"Don't call me, thank these brothers and sisters!" Grandma's majestic voice was still full of kindness.

I didn’t expect that grandma’s ears were so good that she actually heard the little girl’s mosquito-like cry.

In fact, no, grandma just knows her granddaughter too well and knows that she only knows to call her "grandma" in this situation.

Cao'er lowered her little head shyly, not daring to look at anyone, because she knew that in this situation, her brother Hui Ge couldn't help her.

"Cao'er is just shy." Fan Xiaoxiao let go of her grandma and squatted down in front of Cao'er. She conjured two candies like magic and waved them in front of Cao'er's eyes. Cao'er's eyes immediately lit up, and her eyes followed. Candy lifted.

Brother Hui wanted to facepalm, his sister was really easy to deceive, two candies made her forget about stranger danger.

At the same time, he also felt sad. I'm afraid his sister had never eaten candy, so seeing the sweetness of candy emanating from this beautiful wrapping paper, he was probably more curious.

"Here, this is candy. It's edible. Take it and eat it."

Fan Xiaoxiao handed the candy to Cao'er. The little girl didn't dare to reach out to take it and looked at her grandma timidly.

"This is a reward from your noble sister. Say thank you to my sister." Grandma's voice became softer.

When did I become a noble sister?Fan Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, thank you sister!" The little girl finally spoke, her voice still not loud, but everyone could hear it.

"You're welcome, Cao'er is so good!" Fan Xiaoxiao touched Cao'er's little head and found that the hair was particularly soft.

Cao'er took the candies, quickly held one tightly, and handed the other to grandma.

"Grandma eats too."

Grandma stared blankly at the candy handed over by her granddaughter, her eyes moistening for a moment.

Fan Xiaoxiao and his party finally chose to live on the third floor of the inn, because there were exactly five guest rooms on the third floor, and they could just book the entire third floor. There were already two rooms occupied by customers. Finally, under the boss's adjustment, those two rooms were occupied. Guests in one room went to the second floor.

Of course, Tiedan gave the boss a sum of money to compensate for his losses.

The fat middle-aged man smiled kindly and his eyes were narrowed to a slit, but when he looked at Yin Zi, his narrow eyes immediately radiated light.

Brother Hui's family was arranged in the middle of the five rooms, with Fan Xiaoxiao and Tiehua on the left, and Tiedan and Tieshi on the right.

Considering that tonight was destined to be unrest, Fan Xiaoxiao and others arranged the people and time for the night watch. Tie Shi took the initiative to ask for the night watch in the first half of the night, while Tieshi immediately asked for the late night, and then immediately went back to the room to rest.

The room in the inn is not particularly large. Although it is called a luxury room, it is actually only about [-] square meters. There are two single beds in it and there is no extra furniture.

It seems that land in Kongling City is really precious. The inns in Kutao City have larger rooms than here, but the charges are less than one-tenth of what they are here.

Five rooms cost 20 taels of silver a night, which is unimaginable in Taro City.

Fan Xiaoxiao didn't know how much money Tiedan brought out, but if he stayed in the inn for a long time, it would be 20 taels a day, and the money would not be spent.

It seems that the most urgent thing is to find a rental house. If there is a suitable house, you can also consider buying it.

However, the houses in Kongling City are definitely not cheap, and if you want to buy one, it is not something you can buy with just a little money.

Thinking of the pile of white money in his space, Fan Xiaoxiao suddenly discovered a way to spend it quickly.

She was alone there, thinking wildly, and fell asleep as soon as the iron flower touched the pillow, snoring slightly.

Too many things happened on this day, and it seemed that Tiehua was really tired.

Also, after all, Tiehua is still a girl under 16 years old, but she has experienced so many things with them. Although she is occasionally timid and fearful, she has never been a hindrance.

Looking at the sleeping Tiehua, Fan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

When I was 16 years old, I was in high school. I spent every day reading without paying attention to what was going on outside the window. I never had to worry about life, and there was no need to consider the difficulties and obstacles of life.The room is lit by an oil lamp, which is said to be the oil of a giant sea fish. This oil does not have an unpleasant smell or heavy smoke when burned, so people generally use this oil to light lamps.

However, Brother Hui said that if this kind of oil is burned in large quantities, there will be oil smoke and smell. However, the oil lamp consumes very little oil and the fire is very weak, so it does not have that unpleasant smell.

In fact, there are some. Fan Xiaoxiao looked at the weak light of the oil lamp. Her five senses were different from ordinary people, so she naturally saw and smelled more things.

If you smell this smell for a long time, it will definitely be bad for your health. Fan Xiaoxiao blew out the oil lamp.

She opened the window to let the smell drift out, and saw Tie Shi standing in the corridor outside. There was a wall in the corridor with a row of windows, and Tie Shi was staring out of the window motionlessly.

Tie Shi heard the sound of the window opening, looked back, and found that it was Fan Xiaoxiao. He didn't come over. He just nodded slightly and continued to stare back outside.

Everyone in the Tiejiacun group is growing up. Fan Xiaoxiao sighed in his heart, and then sat cross-legged on the bed quietly.

There is no moon tonight and it is pitch black outside.

Although Ethereal City is prosperous, in a world without electricity, the night is dark.

Do you want to invent electricity and bring light to them?

Fan Xiaoxiao smiled and shook his head silently. He came here to practice, not to be an inventor.

Moreover, with my high school level, it is difficult to make any real big inventions.

However, if conditions allowed, she wouldn't mind taking Tiedan and the others to make some small inventions.

Maybe it can give them a shortcut to getting rich.

Thinking about the white money in the space, Fan Xiaoxiao felt more and more that she might really try something.

Sure enough, rich people can be willful, and money is the foundation for being willful.

The first half of the night passed quickly and silently. Everyone was tired after a long day and fell into a deep sleep.

Tieshi got up on time and came out to change shifts with Tieshi.

Tiehua turned over, and Fan Xiaoxiao also lay quietly on the bed. She silently adjusted her breathing and entered a state of natural breathing practice.

The night became darker, and the entire Ethereal City fell into silence.

Ten years of practice have made Fan Xiaoxiao accustomed to practicing without sleep, and this night, she was even more awake.

The rustling wind blew down a few leaves. The leaves fell and rolled on the ground. There was another slight sound of leaves scraping against the ground.

In this quiet night, all small sounds can be heard, of course, provided that you are not asleep yet.

Tieshi only slept for half the night and did not sleep well. He still yawned from time to time.

He had no complaints about the night watch, but he felt in his heart that Kongling City was not only more prosperous than Taro City, but also had a more powerful guard team than Taro City. This was the conclusion he came to when he saw the guards at the city gate.

Although the guards did not take action, according to his experience and feeling, they were all powerful martial arts masters.

Of course he believed that the gangsters on the dock would definitely be unwilling to do so, but he also expressed doubts as to whether those gangsters really dared to provoke the guards of Ethereal City.

Therefore, he did not quite believe that there would really be any danger in such a heavily guarded ethereal city.

However, since it was night duty, he still braced himself and stared at the dark night outside.

Tieshi's ears suddenly moved, and he seemed to hear something different.

It was definitely not the sound of wind blowing leaves, nor was it the sound of tiny flying insects.

Tie Xi's expression became solemn, and he grasped the handle of the curved sickle tightly, making sure that he could pull it out at any time.

Fan Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and sat up.

The wire couldn't be seen, but she could see some of it.

Although she doesn't have the night vision of a cat, she can distinguish many things clearly in such darkness.

The old man had already started to look outside in high spirits. These ordinary people were too weak. In fact, being lively was not fun at all, but it was always more interesting than sleeping.

Outside the inn, several men in black appeared quietly. However, in this dark night, the men in black blended into the night. Ordinary people could not distinguish them at all, let alone see that there was anyone there.

No wonder in those costume films, people who go out at night are all dressed in pitch black night clothes. It seems that black is really the best protective color in the night.

They all have cat-like figures and appear here silently without anyone noticing.

There should be guards in the city at night. So, did the guards really not notice them, or did they selectively turn a blind eye?

This is really worth pondering!
