It was much faster to get on the ox cart. After a day's journey, they arrived at the town after dark. However, the town was a bit cold and there was no sweet water. The town was lively.

Su Wanping took a couple of silver to the coachman and told him to find a good place to rest for the night. Unexpectedly, the other party waved his hand. "We are all used to lighting a torch to drive all night, and we will be home in the morning."

Su Wanping was not good at persuading him. He suddenly felt that he could travel through the ancient road village and travel back and forth in the county town in one day. It was really good luck. If he met such an old mountain village, it would be terrible to think about it.

They walked in the cold streets of the town. After looking for a long time, they found an inn, but it was very ordinary. There was a clerk sitting on the doorsill outside. At this time, the clerk was listless. That would tell that the business was not good.

The husband and wife came to the man and asked to stay in the shop. The waiter immediately showed a smile and quickly got up and led them in.

The entrance is a secluded long corridor. When you get to the entrance, there is an old man sitting in front of the counter. It seems that no one has patronized him for a long time.

When ye gives the money, the couple asks for a room and asks the waiter's for food, so he goes upstairs.

It's dark. It's almost midnight for such a toss. However, their stomachs are purring. Finally, when the waiter comes up with food, it's a plate of coarse flour steamed bread and two vegetable soup. There's a little meat floating in the soup, but they don't have any appetite.

As soon as the waiter leaves, ye grabs the steamed bread but doesn't eat it. Instead, he sniffs it. Then his face changes slightly. He puts the steamed bread down. He sees his daughter-in-law holding the steamed bread ready to eat. He grabs it and Su Wanping looks at him in surprise.

Shiye "shush" and points to the door. Su Wanping understands. They don't speak. They secretly hide their food. Then they say, "we're too full. Let's go to bed."

So they went to the inner room.

There was no movement in the house for a long time, but the eavesdropper outside the room finally breathed a sigh of relief. The old man's shopkeeper had also touched the building. The two men looked at each other, opened the door immediately and quietly entered.

When they saw that all the food on the table had been eaten and only the empty plate was left, they were relieved. The shopkeeper said, "steal the tiger skin quickly. The tiger skin is worth a lot of silver. As for these two people, they look at the coarse cloth. I'm afraid they are hunters around. They will find a pit to bury them."

The guy was a little afraid, "will the officials find out?"

The shopkeeper sneered: "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. It's still three days' journey to report to an official. It's not the first time to kill a hunter. Let's make it more secret. With this piece of leather, we can eat for half a year without worry."

At the thought that he could eat for half a year, he did not hesitate, so they quietly sneaked into the inner room.

There was no light in the room. It was dark. They held their breath for fear that the hunter had not poured the medicine. After all, it was not easy for the hunter to hunt tigers. They had to be careful.

After a while, they came to the bed. By the light of the moonlight in the room, they saw two bags bulging up on the bed. The shopkeeper took out the kitchen knife from the back, and the clerk dared to reach forward and lift the bedding. Just to have a close look, they felt that there was a strange wind behind them, and then the inner room suddenly turned bright.

However, the two people who had been poured out of the medicine appeared in front of the shopkeeper and the clerk, making their forehead sweat. What's the matter? They ate something, but nothing happened?

The shopkeeper and the clerk were very frightened. Seeing that they were in good condition, they knelt down and said that they had lost their mind for a while and begged the heroes to spare their lives.

Su Wanping did not expect that a remote small place would even kill others for a tiger skin. Indeed, no matter where he was, he had to be careful, otherwise he would fall into other people's traps.

If it wasn't for Shi Ye, the smell in the steamed bread was a little different from that of the plain steamed bread. They were careful, otherwise they would be hit.

Su Wanping looks at Shi Ye. If they want to commit crimes, they should send them to the government. However, when he sees Shi Ye, he looks at the two people kneeling on the ground and asks in a deep voice, "how many people have you killed by this method?"

The two men are so scared that they can't answer. But forced by Shi Ye's fierce eyes, they have to answer. Since three years ago, the business in the town has become more and more difficult to do, and even it is difficult to eat. Therefore, they have changed their minds.

This town will see some fresh faces from time to time. Some of these people are hunting, some are businessmen who come to buy seafood, so they become the target of attention of the two people.

When the two of them came over, the shrewd shopkeeper immediately saw that they were passing by, and saw the tiger skin on shiye's back, and immediately moved his mind.

How many people have been killed in the past three years? Some of them don't remember. Anyway, they were all left in the dry well in the backyard. At the beginning of killing people, they were still in fear all day long. Later, they became numb. They found that three years later, as expected, none of the family members of these people had found their way here. No one knew that the dead would pass through this town.

As a result, they were brave enough to start their business as long as they were fresh-blooded. They even used various means to make other inns in the town unable to do business. When they were left with their only one, they succeeded many times. So they stopped their legitimate business and specialized in the business of killing and profiteering.When he hears this, his face is gloomy and terrible. Su Wanping doesn't see how Shi Ye moves his hand. He just feels a flower in front of him and a flash of silver light around his waist. The two kneeling suddenly fall on their heads and spill blood all over the ground.

Su Wanping is shocked on the spot. She doesn't say anything, but he carefully wipes the soft sword with a clean cloth.

After a while, his soft sword was hidden in his waist belt.

"Let's go."

Shi Ye looks at Su Wanping.

Su Wanping wants to say something, but he doesn't know how to say it. So they get up and want to go. Suddenly, Su Wanping stops and looks at shiye and says, "I'll write down their crimes. Otherwise, the neighbors will think that they died unjustly and reported to the official, and we will be in trouble."

Shi Ye frowns.

Su Wanping insisted.

After searching for a long time in the inn, she finally found a little pen, ink, paper and inkstone. She immediately wrote down the crimes of the two men in crooked words and left them beside the bodies.

Now Su Wanping is relieved to leave with shiye.

The next day, the two bodies were found, but the handwriting left by them was seen. However, no one in the whole town could read, and the neighbors did not read it carefully. They buried the note with the two bodies, and no one reported to the official.
