Chapter 29 The Inn at Night
Now that He Yu had some money, he directly bought five items: [Weighted Wristbands], [Jade Dew Ball Recipe], [Animal Crackers], [Poison Testing Needle], and [Portable Makeup Mirror], spending a total of 1 tael of silver and 265 copper coins.
But what intrigued her most was the item in the first compartment—[sticky notes].
What kind of notepad could cost a whole tael of silver?
Something's fishy. I'll buy it and take a look.
The appearance of the sticky notes is that of ordinary sticky notes, pure white paper, about A6 size, a thin stack.
That's it?
He Yu refused to believe it. She suddenly remembered that the "Sell" function in the "Secondhand Market" had an item appraisal feature, so she quickly used it.
['Stickers': A stack of 10 sheets, which can be used for leaving messages, making threats, expressing affection, etc. (Note: Only 10 words can be written on each sticky note)]
[Buyback Price: 500 Copper Coins]
Oh, the buyback price is only half the selling price, a direct depreciation of fifty percent, what a shrewd businessman...
However, this feature is indeed useful, and it can be used now, although it can only write ten characters.
He Yu carefully considered his words, and after a moment typed in the input box: 【Wei Buyu is leading men to pursue us; we must be on guard.】
Exactly ten characters. She nodded in satisfaction, selected the character [Chu He], and clicked [Send].
Looking at the pop-up message on the screen: "Note has been sent, awaiting recipient's confirmation..."
He Yu smiled slightly, and it was done.
She turned her gaze to Chu He's side and saw him pull the note out of his boot.
At the same time, a notification pops up on the screen saying "The recipient has received the package".
With Chu He's martial arts skills being so good, and now that he's on guard, it's unlikely that Wei Buyu and his group will be able to get the better of him in the short term.
Thinking this, He Yu rubbed her sore eyes, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
------
Because of the piece of paper that inexplicably appeared on him, and the brief but informative reminder, Chu He didn't sleep for the first half of the night, and only slept lightly for the second half, so that he could immediately detect any disturbance.
Even so, when he set off early the next morning, he was still full of energy and showed no signs of not having rested well, which was in stark contrast to the slightly listless He Shi.
Leaning back in front of the carriage, Chu He casually flicked the reins, his cold, star-like eyes slightly lowered, seemingly relaxed and carefree, but in reality, he was constantly paying attention to everything around him.
Fortunately, the day passed peacefully, and the two arrived at a county town called Fukang County before nightfall.
After entering the city, Chuhe stopped the car at a nearby inn on the street.
The waiter came out to greet them warmly and even helped them carry their things to their room.
"What kind of food do you have?" After sitting down in the lobby, Chu He placed his sword on the table and asked the waiter, "Bring me some good stuff."
The waiter was short, dressed in a blue cloth robe and a matching hat, with a white towel draped over his shoulder. He was slightly hunched over, with a smile on his face, and looked quite unremarkable.
He smiled and said, "Sir, we still have freshly cooked mutton and flatbread in our shop, as well as side dishes like pickled radishes and shredded cabbage. How about we serve you two catties of mutton, two bowls of mutton soup, three flatbreads, and two side dishes first?"
"can."
"We also have some excellent strong liquor here..."
"No alcohol."
"Alright, please wait a moment!"
The waiter tossed the towel off his shoulder and walked briskly toward the kitchen.
Chu He watched the waiter's retreating figure, his eyes slightly narrowed, and calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
The lamb at this restaurant was just average, and it was overcooked, making it too soft.
But He Shi and Chu He ate everything up, and even added two more pancakes at the end.
After dinner, the waiter brought hot water upstairs for the two of them to take a bath.
Night deepened, the cold wind howled outside, and the entire inn was pitch black and quiet.
After taking a bath, He Shi was sitting at the table drying his hair with a cloth when he suddenly heard a slight noise at the door.
He looked up and saw that Chu He had somehow opened the door bolt, tiptoed into the house, and then locked the door again.
He Shi: "?"
Chu He raised his right hand, put the tip of his index finger to his lips, and made a shushing gesture.
He Shi nodded.
Chu He pointed to the bed, then to He Shi.
He Shi understood, put down the cloth, and lay down on the bed.
Chu He walked over with his sword, gesturing for him to move a little further inside.
He Shi: "..."
He shifted his body further in until his arm touched the wall before stopping.
Chuhe lay down on his back beside him, still dressed, holding his sword with both hands. With a wave of his hand, the candle was extinguished.
The room suddenly fell into darkness.
The dim moonlight shone through the small window and spilled onto the ground, leaving square patches of light.
The beds in the guesthouse are not big; it's a bit cramped for two people.
The person lying next to him had a strong presence. He Shi awkwardly turned over to face the wall, feeling the cold aura emanating from it. He shivered slightly and pulled the blanket up a little.
In the darkness, Chuhe closed his eyes to rest.
After an unknown amount of time, He Shi finally felt sleepy. Just as he was drifting off to sleep, Chu He, who had been lying quietly beside him, suddenly reached out and covered his mouth and nose.
He Shi: "!!"
He woke up instantly, his eyes wide open, his right hand instinctively bent, and his elbow slammed into his side.
Chu He easily blocked He Shi's attack with his other hand.
In the darkness, his eyes were clear, and he glanced at He Shi with some surprise.
The attack was neutralized, and He Shi realized who had suddenly covered his mouth, and his body slowly relaxed.
Looking at Chu He's blurry outline, he nodded gently, indicating that he would not make a sound or move.
Chu He understood what he meant, slowly lowered his hand, and pointed towards the window instead.
He Shi turned his head to look.
In the pitch-black room, where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, a strange smell gradually began to permeate the air.
The window cracks in the room were not completely sealed, allowing outside light to seep in. A dark shadow was clearly reflected on the window paper, and wisps of smoke drifted into the room with the airflow.
As time ticked by, and it seemed as if all sound had fallen silent inside, the dark shadow reflected on the window finally moved.
He turned sideways and moved forward silently until he was out of the window paper's reach. Immediately afterward, the door to the room made a very slight noise.
The door was slowly pushed open.
A short, dark figure stepped in, its feet landing on the ground without making a sound.
He slowly walked to the bedside, raised his right hand, and the sharp blade flashed coldly in the darkness before swiftly stabbing down onto the bed—
"Pfft..."
The sound of flesh being pierced by a sharp blade was unusually loud in the silent darkness.
The shadowy figure dropped the dagger onto the bed, clutched his throat tightly with both hands, uttering broken, dying syllables as he desperately turned his head to look back.
Chu He stood behind him, his right hand hanging down, the crimson blood dripping from the tip of his sword, which remained as bright and new as ever.
With a thud, the dark figure fell to the ground, half of its body hitting the bed. It wasn't dead yet, struggling in vain.
He Shi, who had been pretending to be asleep, sat up in bed, threw off the covers, and kicked him to the ground.
