The cause of cultivating immortals is on my shoulders, and my junior sister is the leader.

Chapter 14
"Junior sister, I've made you worry so much, but I don't need to."

Song Qinghe narrowed his eyes in disgust and quickly walked out.

A man's mouth is deceptive. He doesn't use his words, but his hands move faster than anyone else.

If it weren't for her eyes that lit up for a moment, she might have really believed in her senior brother's pure heart.

It is true that the old book says that money can make the world go round!

It is getting late, and only the last trace of the setting sun remains on the horizon. There are fewer and fewer people on the streets, and the lights are sparse and sparse.

"It's not peaceful here recently. I'll close Zhang Datou's stall first. You should go back quickly!"

"Okay! Wang Erwa, please slow down on the road, I'll be back soon!"

As soon as the two of them walked near the only inn in the town, they heard the conversation between the preserved fruit vendor next to the inn and the noodle stall next door. They happened to be passing by, and the sound reached their ears in a moderate tone.

Immediately afterwards, I saw two vendors closing their stalls and going home in a hurry.

Zi Yusheng and Song Qinghe looked at each other and silently reached a consensus.

That is to say, the matter has nothing to do with oneself, and is hung up high. It is better to do less than to do more.

The four words "Juyuan Inn" suddenly appeared in front of me.

This is the only inn in Huai Town. It looks twice as big as an ordinary small inn. The first floor is neatly arranged with wooden stools, tables and chairs for eating, and the second and third floors are all guest rooms.

"Do you two want to stay at the top or stay in the hotel?"

Upon entering, there is a counter half as tall as a person. Behind the counter, a middle-aged man with a red face is spinning two shiny walnuts.

"Stay in the hotel, two upper rooms."

Song Qinghe looked cold and not to be trifled with, glanced at the shopkeeper, and spoke concisely.

"You two are a couple from out of town. Only one of them has gone to bed. Do you think?"

The middle-aged man with a few moustache squeezed the fat on his face and smiled sheepishly, his peripheral vision flickering between the two of them ambiguously.

I thought it helped bring harmony between the couple.

As everyone knows...

"Shopkeeper, we are brother and sister, so let's have one upper bedroom and one middle bedroom."

The ambiguous smile on shopkeeper Liu Haizhu's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a hint of guilt.

"Okay, one upper room and one middle room. Madam Shu, go and bring the guests!"

He shouted a few times behind him, and a middle-aged woman who still had charm came out from behind the curtain. She was wearing a plum red dress and looked a little calm. The fine lines on her face were traces of time, and she looked completely different. Like an ignorant woman in the market.

"Okay, two guest officers, please follow me."

After stepping on the tight wooden board, Zi Yusheng finally lived in the middle room at the stairway on the second floor, while Song Qinghe moved into the innermost upper room on the third floor.

The last trace of the afterglow dissipated, and the sky became completely dark.

In the lobby of the inn, there are still a few tables of guests dining in twos and threes.

Among the guests at these tables were Zi Yusheng and Song Qinghe who were at the innermost side near the window.

After packing their luggage, the two went downstairs to eat in the lobby.

At this time, the night wind was whistling by, beating against the closed windows. Everyone looked around blankly, drinking wine and talking loudly.

"You said it was sunny during the day, why is it windy now?"

At the next table, two middle-aged men with big tongues were having a drunken conversation.

"Maybe God heard that Siniang Hu on West Street rejected you, and is feeling sad for you! What did you say you were doing to provoke Siniang Hu!"

The chubby man in gray with a red face looked at the old man in black who was holding a wine bowl with regret on his face.

"She already said that she despises her current husband. I just wanted to save her. Who knew she wouldn't go with me and even beat me up! Wow, brother, I feel so miserable!"

The two of them hugged each other and cried. After a while, they felt a line of sight looking in their direction. When Zi Yusheng raised his head, the line of sight had disappeared.

In the dark night with howling wind, a heavy rain suddenly began, slapping against the window. Seeing the rain outside the door gradually running diagonally into the lobby, the shopkeeper quickly blocked the door.

When the fat body turned around, he only saw a row of footprints automatically appearing on the ground!
The bright red footprints appear step by step!
The shopkeeper was shocked, took a few steps back and leaned against the door that had just been closed, pointing tremblingly at the ground.

"Ah! There's something dirty!" A cry instantly attracted the attention of all the diners, and everyone began to retreat away from the row of bloody footprints.

Noisy exclamations and discussions suddenly started.

The air becomes tense!
"A ghost is here to take out your heart again!"

"No! Don't choose me! I have an old man and a young man. Lord Ghost King, don't choose me!"

"I don't want to die either! Don't choose me!"

……

Everyone kowtowed in horror at the row of footprints with their palms facing each other.

Song Qinghe and Zi Yusheng did not stand up, but sat unshakably while eating.

The rumbling thunder was deafening, as if it was tearing a big hole into the night, and there were lightning, thunder, and violent storms.

In the silent night, there were only the guests' murmurs begging for mercy and the clear and rapid breathing.

Seeing the bloody footprints moving forward...

One step, two steps, three steps...

"It's not me! It's not me! Great! The Ghost King has appeared!"

"It's not me either!"

"Phew, you scared me to death, luckily it wasn't me!"

A few people who had narrowly escaped on the other side breathed a sigh of relief, and their legs were so weak that they almost collapsed to the ground.

Song Qinghe and the two were still eating quietly, not interested in paying attention to this cat and mouse game.

"Ah! It's them!"

Everyone around them looked at them, and Song Qinghe had to turn his head and take a look.

I saw the two drunken brothers next to me suddenly sober up and their eyes widening in horror.

Curiosity can kill the cat!

The bloody footprints stopped all the way between the big brother and their two tables!

If I had known this, I would never have looked back!

Song Qinghe now only feels a headache and is in big trouble!

"It's not me! It's not us! It must be you!"

"Yes! It must be you!"

The two eldest brothers, who had just been drunk and talking about their relationship history, suddenly woke up and even pushed a big pot to the two people next door with clear minds.

Song Qinghe also stood up in full view of everyone.

He smiled at the two elder brothers, his slightly narrowed eyes full of cunning.

"Brother, these footprints are among us, why should they be us?"

A group of people watched the excitement and Da Di agreed.

The two men looked at each other, their faces flushed. They didn't know whether they were flustered or angry.

"You are slanderous! These footprints are closer to you!"

Song Qinghe lowered his head and took a closer look at the bloody footprints. "The toes of the footprints are a bit tilted. It seems that they are pointing towards you."

The two men's faces were obviously beginning to panic.

While the people at the two tables were confronting each other, the shopkeeper walked tremblingly along the edge.

"All four of you, please leave. Our shop cannot afford to cause such trouble. I will pay you double the spiritual stones of the four of you!"

This time they were all ordered to be kicked out.

The two grown men were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they kept mumbling.
