Chapter 24 The Weird Inn (Please recommend)
Li Qing, what happened last night?
Qi Yun squeezed over directly and asked in a low voice.
When Li Qing and the others saw Qi Yun, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but when they noticed the bandage on Qi Yun's chest, their expressions changed.
Second Master, are you injured?
I'm fine, why is there one person missing, where are the three dogs?
Qi Yun glanced at Li Qing and the others.
The five of them came to this town last night, and now only Li Qing walked out.
Hearing this, Li Qing and the others looked even more ugly.
Li Qing said in a low voice: Second Master, we are also about to report to you, this inn... this inn seems to be haunted.
Um?
Qi Yun narrowed his eyes and said, What do you mean?
Li Qing turned around and glanced inside the inn, his face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: Second Master, let's find a safer place, and I'll tell you later.
They walked out of here, more than a hundred meters away from the inn, and came under a big tree at the entrance of the town.
Li Qing's face was ugly, and he said: Sangou disappeared last night. We didn't see him when we got up early this morning. What's even more weird is that there seems to be someone talking in this inn room.
The other three gang members also looked pale and nodded quickly.
Yes, Second Master, I heard that too.
So are we.
…
what happened?
Qi Yun asked in a low voice.
Last night, we came here to settle down according to your order. At that time, we didn't feel anything. The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and took us into the room. Because the inn is relatively large, we asked for a room alone.
But when I slept in the first watch, weird things happened. I always heard someone talking beside the bed. It was buzzing and I couldn't hear clearly. I got up several times last night, thinking it was coming from the next door, but I didn't After checking, we found that there were only a few of us next door, and no one else lived at all. The other Jianghu men who settled down all lived upstairs, or they were several rooms away from us.
We also asked. They didn't talk at all, and they all went to bed early.
This sound continued all night. I didn't dare to close my eyes the whole night. The sound kept going, as if someone was speaking through the fog, or someone was scolding me. It sounded hysterical, but Not quite sure.
When I woke up this morning, the three dogs sleeping in the westernmost room were gone. At that time, we thought he had gone out for breakfast, but when we went out, we found that all our horses were dead.
Second Lord, have you seen those horses before? It stands to reason that there must be some movement when so many horses died, but we didn't hear any sound last night.
I went to question the shopkeeper this morning. The shopkeeper looked aggrieved and didn't know what to say. We asked other tenants, but they didn't hear anyone talking in the room, and we searched the entire inn and couldn't find Sangou. The trail of the shopkeeper was almost arrested.
Li Qing turned pale, and said.
Qi Yun quickly understood the general situation, frowned, and said, Go, take me to meet the shopkeeper.
He walked towards the inn.
Li Qing and the others became courageous again and followed behind.
Inside the inn, seven or eight quacks were arguing around the boss, asking for an explanation.
The boss is a short and fat middle-aged man, surrounded by these seven or eight quacks, with a bitter expression on his face, he kept explaining, but no one was willing to listen, and in the end he had run out of good words, and he was willing to compensate for the damage and save a few days of rent. Fei, these quacks snorted coldly.
I think it's you, the shopkeeper, who is doing something secretly. Do you want to keep us for a few more days before deliberately killing our horses? What a profiteer!
A Jianghu man said indifferently.
The shopkeeper smiled wryly, and finally sent these people upstairs.
After Qi Yun came in, he sized the shopkeeper back and forth coldly, and then looked at the other shop assistants.
In addition to the shopkeeper, there are also two waiters in the store. They are single and thin, walking lightly, as if they could be blown down by the wind at any time, giving people a weird feeling.
After the shopkeeper noticed Qi Yun's gaze, he hurried over to greet him.
Gentlemen, I really don't know how your horses died? I don't know where your people went. The younger ones are willing to compensate. I beg you adults to have a lot of them, so let the younger ones go.
You don't need to pay, let's stay another night tonight, just arrange me next door to them.
Qi Yun said coldly.
Yes, sir, come with me.
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, and led Qi Yun to the second floor.
Qi Yun directly chose Sangou's room, waved his hand, and asked the shopkeeper to retreat.
Li Qing and others all followed in.
The room is small and rather simple, with a bed, a table, and a mirror, and nothing else.
Qi Yun looked around here, and only saw Sangou's clothes and a steel knife, which seemed to be taken off last night and prepared to go to bed.
He grabbed Sangou's steel knife and pulled it out directly. The blade was sharp and shone with a cold light, without any blood stains. It should not have been used last night.
Second Master, should we just arrest the shopkeeper and torture him?
Li Qing became ruthless.
Don't worry, we'll see the situation tonight. You guys live in the same room, so don't go out if you have nothing to do.
Qi Yun said.
Yes, Second Master.
Li Qing and the others nodded.
The day passed quickly.
In addition to those quacks during the day, there were also a few strangers living in the inn.
Hearing that something happened at the inn last night, these quacks were not only not afraid, but seemed very interested.
Qi Yun was standing in the corridor in front of the door, and saw those quacks, a total of three people came in front and back.
The first person to come in was ugly, in his fifties, hunched over, smiling, with big yellow teeth.
The second person came in after more than an hour. He limped on one leg, leaned on a bamboo pole, walked with a limp, and walked around the inn after entering.
The third one was quite normal, dressed in a white robe, with a handsome face, in his early twenties, holding a folding fan in his hand, with an indescribable aura about him, even Qi Yun felt ashamed when he saw it.
When the three of them passed the door of their own room, they couldn't help but paused, showing strange expressions, and took another look at him.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Qi Yun felt that the gazes of these three people were the same as that of the young man with the melon head, with a trace of indescribable weirdness, as if they were looking at some kind of food.
Qi Yun frowned, and when they looked at him, he also looked at them.
The three people who came in one behind the other didn't look like they had practiced martial arts at all, but they had a faint sense of danger.
Especially the hunchbacked ugly old man, when he passed by, he sneered a few times, and he didn't know what he was laughing at.
Night falls.
In the room, a bright red candle was inserted on the table, burning quietly.
Qi Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, silently waiting for the sound of voices in the room.
However, after three shifts, there was no abnormality.
He waited for a while, got up and walked towards Li Qing and others' room.
The corridor was pitch black, with no light at all, like a gloomy corridor, filled with a faint musty smell, completely different from the daytime.
Um?
Qi Yun sensed something was wrong, and walked quickly to Li Qing's room.
Li Qing!
Qi Yun began to knock on the door.
The room was silent, without the slightest sound.
Qi Yun frowned, and stomped open the door.
boom!
The entire door collapsed and fell hard on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The room was gloomy, with dim light and a mild musty smell. It looked as if no one had lived in it for several years.
The tables, chairs and benches were overturned, covered with incomplete cobwebs, and there was no trace of Li Qing and others.
