Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 192 Weird Town

"Okay, sister Xiaoyi and Colin are still in that cave, are they going to be okay?"

At this time, Zhu Zixin just remembered Kelin and Xiaoyi, and asked involuntarily.

"Yeah, I'm worried about them too. I don't know what's going on now, but if you think about it carefully, it should be fine! We have lured the enemies away, and they should be safe!"

Nangong Xi said.

After a pause, he said again:
"Now that you're injured, it's better to take good care of your illness. Don't think about other things anymore. I think they'll be fine. Maybe when we return to the capital, we'll be able to see them."

"All right!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zixin nodded slightly, but a burst of drowsiness hit her, causing her to lean against Nangong Xi's body and fell asleep.

"Zixin, sleep well! Everything will be fine when you wake up!"

Nangong Xi gently supported her, and whispered in her ear.

The horse walked slowly, as if afraid of waking up the sleeping man.

When Zhu Zixin woke up, she found that she was already lying on the bed. Moreover, she felt that she was much better, her head was no longer dizzy, and the wound didn't hurt so much anymore!It seems that there must be a doctor who has treated her!
She looked around and saw that the furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a bed, a table, a cabinet near the wall, and a washbasin shelf next to it. It was an inn at a glance.

Inadvertently looking at her side, she realized that Nangong Xi had fallen asleep leaning over her bed.

The wound on his shoulder seemed to have been bandaged, however, spots of blood could still be seen oozing from the wrapped white cloth.

"You're hurt too!"

Zhu Zixin was shocked and blurted out.

"I'm fine, the most important thing now is to find a place to treat you!"

Nangong Xi's tone was a little anxious.

Zhu Zixin stopped talking, but her heart was filled with emotion. In such a situation, Nan Gongxi would still think about her own safety. How could this not move her?

The horse kept going.

After a while, Nangong Xi said again:

"It seems that Nan Gongxun's people are everywhere. We are only afraid that we have to change our names to avoid his sight. After all, we are weak now and we are not his opponents at all! As for Colin and Xiaoyi, I think , without me, it will be easier for them to leave! I hope they can reach the capital safely, and it will not be too late for us to meet again!"

Hearing what he said, Zhu Zixin thought about it, nodded and said:
"Then, why not, along the way, I will call you Xiao Hei!"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help laughing. However, the wound on his shoulder hurt from this laugh, and he couldn't help but yelled "Ouch".

"what happened?"

Nangong Xi asked nervously.

"Oh it's all right!"

Zhu Zixin smiled and shook his head.

"What time is it, you can still laugh, it seems that you are really heartless woman!"

Nangong Xi shook her head helplessly, but there was also a smile on her face.

Although they are still in danger now, he is really happy to be with Zixin.

"Hey, I said to call you Xiao Hei, but you haven't expressed your opinion yet? Do you agree or not?"

Zhu Zixin poked him and asked again.

"Xiao Hei? Why does it sound like a puppy's name?"

Nangong Xi frowned after finishing speaking, and asked again:

"Can you change one?"

Shaking his head, Zhu Zixin dragged his voice and said:

"cannot!"

"Ugh!"

Nangong Xi let out a long sigh, then looked up at the sky in embarrassment, then nodded heavily, and said:
"Since my Xiaobai likes to call it that way, then my king would be more respectful than obedient!"

"What, Xiaobai?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zixin asked dumbfoundedly.

"Yes, if you call me Xiao Hei, I'll call you Xiao Bai, that's fair!"

Nangong Xi nodded seriously.

"..."

Zhu Zixin was speechless, pouted and said:

"Okay, okay, Xiaobai is Xiaobai, it sounds better than Xiaohei."

The two rode together, talking and laughing all the way, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally found a small town in a remote place.

"Zixin, we have a place to live, just ahead, when we get there, I will come and heal you! Don't worry, you will be fine soon!"

When she saw the small town, Nangong Xi's tone became excited.

"Ah."

With injuries on her body and after traveling for so long, Zhu Zixin was already exhausted, so she responded weakly.

Although Nan Gongxi was also exhausted, when he saw the small town, his heart was full of hope. He put his horse's hips on his back and hurried forward.

However, when we got to the town, it was already dark.

There was no longer a single pedestrian on the road in the town, the entire town was submerged in darkness, and the moon also hid there tonight.

The whole town has an eerie feel to it.Nangongxi hugged Zhu Zixin's waist tightly, and said in a low voice, "This town is a bit weird!"

Zhu Zixin was riding on the horse's back, feeling her waist tightened, her face turned red in an instant, she was about to speak, but she heard Nan Gongxi's voice, hearing what he said, Fang Zai knew that his action was just subconscious To protect himself, he swallowed what he was about to say.

Said: "There are some, let's be more careful."

While talking, Zhu Zixin couldn't help looking around.

She always felt that this town was weird, but she couldn't say it was wrong. However, it was already so late, and besides, they both had injuries on their bodies, so it was not appropriate to leave, and they had already come, so let's take a look first talk later.

They rode their horses slowly, and after walking for a long time, they saw a place with lights on.

Nangong Xi was overjoyed, and hurriedly waved his whip to make the horse go faster, and soon arrived at the place where the lights were on. It was indeed an inn. Seeing that there was a place to live, the two looked at each other and nodded. , dismounted vigilantly.

Walking to the door, I saw that the door of the store was only half opened, but the other half was tightly closed.

Zhu Zixin yelled: "Xiao Er, here comes a guest!"

Just after he finished speaking, he saw a head protruding from the door. After looking at Zhu Zixin and Nan Gongxi for a moment, the man came out.

But it was an old man who seemed to be around 50 or [-] years old. The old man walked over slowly with his back bent. When he raised his head, Zhu Zixin was stunned. It turned out that there was a very strange look on his face Ugly scars spread from the eyes on the left face to the neck, looking very hideous and terrifying.

"Xiao Er, we want to stay in the hotel, is there any room?"

Nangong Xi asked.

"Good luck, guest officer, there are still a few vacant rooms."

The shop clerk walked over slowly while talking, and upon closer inspection, he turned out to be crippled.Moreover, his voice was hoarse and dry, like the sound made by rubbing sand and gravel against paper, which made people feel uncomfortable listening to it.

He took the reins of the horse and said: "Please come to the guests, the younger one will feed your horse!"

This time, Zhu Zixin felt that his voice was stuck together again, and the sound he made was like the feeling of gas blowing through the two skins that were stuck together, with a slight tremolo, which made people even more uncomfortable.

Zhu Zixin suppressed the feeling in his heart and handed him the reins of the horse.

The man stopped talking, and limped and pulled the horse to the porch.

Zhu Zixin and Nan Gongxi walked into the inn. The inn didn't look very big, and there was a living room with tables, chairs and benches.

In front of the counter on the right, an old shopkeeper was sitting behind. Zhu Zixin looked over, only to find that the shopkeeper was staring at him with wide-eyed eyes. Only a few sparse gray-white hairs remained.

He was skinny, wearing a squirrel-colored robe, and looked like a mummy. The counter was hidden in a corner where the light couldn't reach him. His appearance and expression scared Zhu Zixin even more. Jump.

Nan Gongxi remained calm. He looked around the store carefully, and said softly to Zhu Zixin: "It seems that this store is really weird, we'd better be careful!"

After being told by Nangongxi, Zhu Zixin also nodded. Ever since she came here, she had a strange feeling in her heart, but she couldn't express it. Could it be that she really saw a ghost?However, she herself couldn't justify this reason. These two people are clearly two living people, but it's really sad to look like this!
Taking another look at the shopkeeper, she said, "I see, but right now, we seem to have no choice!"

"Well, anyway, we just need to be careful!"

After finishing speaking, the two walked towards the counter, and seeing them approaching, the shopkeeper said, "Or stay at the top?"

His voice had no warmth, it sounded like it was coming from the mouth of a dead body, once it startled Zhu Zixin and Nan Gongxi, their footsteps could not help but pause, but it was only for a moment, Then she walked over, Nangong Xi said: "Give us two dishes first, after eating, prepare a guest room."

"A total of three taels of silver."

The shopkeeper said while flipping through the ledger.

Nan Gongxi took out the silver from the purse and handed it to him, then returned to Zhu Zixin's side, and the two found a seat and sat down.

After a long time, an old woman came up with two sides of vegetables.

It turned out to be a plate of beef and a plate of peanuts.

Seeing that there was beef to eat, Zhu Zixin was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Nan Gongxi: "Xiao Hei, eat quickly. After eating, we can go upstairs to sleep. We can go on our way tomorrow."

After speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and ate.

I don't know how the beef is made, and there is a sweet and grassy smell in the mouth after eating. It seems that this craftsmanship is different from ordinary beef.

Nangong Xi seemed to like the taste very much, and took several bites in a row.

The two ate a plate of beef and a plate of peanuts, and asked the old woman to cook two bowls of noodles, and the shopkeeper ordered the scary-looking waiter to take Zhu Zixin and Nangong with him. Xi went upstairs.

The skinny little Er held a lantern in his right hand and a bunch of keys in his left to lead the way.
