Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 194
"Zixin!"

Seeing her act like this, Nangong Xi was startled and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her arm up. While wiping her feet hastily, she said:

"How could you do such a thing for me?"

"Ah Hei! What's the matter? Didn't you also take care of me? I know you have worked hard all this way! Yesterday, for me, you even took risks alone. Seeing those chasing soldiers go away, although you didn't say anything, I I know, you must have experienced a narrow escape before returning to my side, now, what's wrong with me washing your feet?"

Zhu Zixin didn't agree, and said hastily.

"But, your injury hasn't healed yet!"

Nangong Xi said distressedly.

"This little injury is nothing serious. What's more, I was drinking medicine just now, but you, the injury on your shoulder must be very painful, right? I'll apply some medicine for you later."

As Zhu Zixin said, he stretched out his hands to wash Nangongxi's feet.

She felt that only in this way could she repay what he had done to her.

Seeing that she insisted on this, Nangong Xi had no choice but to obey her.

After washing her feet, Zhu Zixin applied medicine to Nangongxi again. The medicine in her body seemed to have worked, and her body felt much better, so she said to Nangongxi:

"Ah Hei, you sleep first, I'll watch over you!"

"It's better for you to sleep, I'll watch over it!"

Nangong Xi refused.

"Don't refuse, okay? I know you didn't sleep last night. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it."

Zhu Zixin said, without any explanation, he pushed Nangong Xi onto the bed, covered him with a quilt, and forced him to sleep.

Nangong Xi was helpless, but couldn't bear to go against her kindness, so she obediently went to sleep.

Zhu Zixin walked to the table and sat down, staring at the candlelight with her chin in a daze. After some time, her eyelids became heavier and heavier. After all, she hadn't slept all night, and finally couldn't help it, and fell asleep on the table up.

However, Nangong Xi who was lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, he was always vigilant.

Therefore, he never dared to sleep too hard, and would wake up with a start if there was any movement.

Seeing that Zhu Zixin was asleep now, he got up lightly, hugged her to the bed and slept well, covered her with the quilt, lowered the window curtain, then squeezed his Yintang point, and walked to the table wearily Sit down and blow out the candles.

At this time, it was midnight, and suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes on the street, and then there was a knock on the door downstairs of the inn, and then there was the sound of a group of people walking into the inn, from their footsteps Judging, there seemed to be as many as 12 people who came.

Among them, eight men and four women.

The person who came spoke loudly and looked like a passing peddler.They are all talking about business matters, such as the recent business is not very good, but the previous few days were okay.

And those women are very reticent, it seems that one of them is holding a child, it should be their family members.

After this group of people entered the room, their voices gradually decreased.

Nangongxi continued to listen, but this time, not long after, she heard a small sound, which seemed to be the sound of closing a shop door, and then someone walked through the living room and walked upstairs on the wooden stairs.

The sound of footsteps gradually came from the stairs to the outside of the house where they lived, and then there was a sound of a key opening the door.

Someone came into the next room, and then there was no movement.

At this moment, Nangong Xi had no sleepiness at all.He kept his eyes wide open vigilantly, and sat silently in the dark.

About half an hour later, everything returned to calm again. Seeing that the night was about to pass, but the expected things did not happen at all, he began to suspect that he was too nervous. Maybe there was nothing wrong with this store. Everything is just his guess.

Nerves gradually relaxed, Nangong Xi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she gradually fell asleep on the table.

However, just as he was half asleep and half awake, suddenly there was another rustling sound in his ears.

Nangong Xi couldn't help but opened his eyes again, he was sure that the voice came from next door.

At this time, Zhu Zixin who was on the bed suddenly turned over and sat up, got out of bed secretly, and walked to the door. She was very careful and tried not to make a sound and opened the door.

"Zixin!"

Suddenly, an extremely slight voice came from beside her ear, and Zhu Zixin knew it was Nan Gongxi without turning her head. She whispered:

"Shh, don't talk, go and see."

Nangong Xi nodded slightly.

The two quietly walked to the next door one after the other.In the room next door, there was a bean-like candle burning, and there was a dim light shining through the window paper.

Zhu Zixin secretly made a hole in the window paper bucket and looked inside.

It was a bed. However, there was no one on the bed at this time. There was a gauze curtain hanging on the outside of the bed. Through the white gauze curtain, Zhu Zixin saw a person kneeling in the corner of the wall. She couldn't see what he was doing, so she motioned for Nangong Xi to watch, and Zhu Zixin waited patiently.

After a while, Zhu Zixin saw Nan Gongxi take a deep breath, and couldn't help hastily motioning him to get out of the way, and looked over again. At this time, he saw the person in the room suddenly turned his head. Zhu Zixin was startled, thinking that he had discovered him, but after seeing the man glanced in this direction, he turned around and went to work again.

However, Zhu Zixin could already see his face clearly, it was the shopkeeper of this inn.

But just now, his eyes were dull and his movements were sluggish. He didn't look like a living person, but rather—Zhu Zixin thought of a word, but she couldn't believe it.

In the 21st century, things that appeared on TV, did they really exist in ancient China?She couldn't believe it, she really couldn't believe it.

But, that person's actions are indeed weird.

Resisting the throbbing in his heart and a trace of fear, Zhu Zixin continued to look inside.

Only then did I see that the man actually tore down a thick wall.

As the hole in the wall got bigger and bigger, Zhu Zixin finally saw clearly what was inside.

However, she was completely stunned in horror.

The wall was actually a foot wide, and the inside was still hollow.At this time, the wall seemed to be full of things, but she was too far away and separated by a gauze curtain, so she couldn't see clearly, but she could faintly feel that the things inside looked like several dead bodies.

At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.Scared, Zhu Zixin hurriedly pulled Nan Gongxi's hand, and the two ran back to their room. After a while, she opened the door again and looked out.

The shopkeeper walked out the door stiffly, and then walked towards the other end of the corridor step by step.

"He's gone, let's go to the next door to find out!"

Seeing this, Zhu Zixin hurriedly said to Nangong Xi.

"Ah."

Nangong Xi nodded in agreement.

The two hurriedly ran into the next room without making a sound. As soon as they entered the room, the two went straight to the outside of the wall. The wall was blocked again. They carefully opened the wall again. However, When the contents inside were finally presented in front of them, they took a few steps back in shock with just one glance!

She was right just now. Sure enough, all the dead people were placed in this wall, and those corpses seemed to have undergone some kind of treatment.Not only does it have no smell, but it smells like vanilla.

It must have been some preservative or something.

Zhu Zixin suddenly thought of the beef he ate with Nan Gongxi tonight.

Her eyes widened immediately, and a sour smell rushed out of her stomach. The strong nausea made her unable to bear it any longer. She hurriedly covered her mouth and ran out.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard a series of voices coming from outside the door.It sounded like a person dragging something heavy.

Zhu Zixin forcibly suppressed the nausea.Looking at Nangong Xi, he found that he was the same as himself. Although the light in the room was very dark, he could still see the horror in his eyes.

She couldn't help but want to vomit it out, but she also knew that if she really vomited it out, she might be exposed.

It must be too late to go out now, so I can only find a place to hide.

Nangong Xi was obviously more responsive than her, so she reached out and brought her to the bed, and the two of them dodged and hid under the bed.

She had just hidden it when the door creaked, and then the shopkeeper dragged something and walked in with great difficulty.

Zhu Zixin hid under the bed, not daring to vent his breath, watching him back up, slowly dragging the thing to the wall bit by bit.After Zhu Zixin saw clearly what he was dragging, his stomach felt sick again.

She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and continued to look over.

It turned out that what the man was dragging was another corpse.

That corpse looked mighty and tall, with beards all over its face, it didn't look like a Central Plains person at first glance, it was very similar to the Lu people they rescued in the Dragon Valley that day.

There was no scar on the man's body, but his head seemed to be hit by a heavy object, and his head was covered with blood.There was even a smell of blood in the air.

I saw the shopkeeper pushing that man into the wall with great effort.At this time, he went outside again.

Nan Gongxi and Zhu Zixin saw him leave, they hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, and ran out in a hurry.

Back in the room, the two of them couldn't sleep anymore. It turned out that this was indeed a black shop. It seemed that the group of people just now had been killed by the shopkeeper. From this point of view, their next target must be them.

Unexpectedly, this shop turned out to be a black shop, and the beef I ate turned out to be human flesh.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zixin could no longer remain calm.

She kept walking back and forth in the room, only in this way could she suppress the strong shock in her heart.

After walking back and forth like this for a while, her mood gradually calmed down.

In fact, with her courage and experience, no matter what she encounters, she will not have too much emotional fluctuations, but there are few things in the world that can bring her such a strong shock. What I saw today is one of them .
