I am not a villain reborn
Chapter 4 Strange Events in the City
The three of them walked along the long street to the inn under the moonlight. In this dark night, the doors and windows of each household were tightly closed, and no sound could be heard. upright.
Walk out of the Qin Mansion and go straight to the east. The inn is located in an inconspicuous place on the east side. There is a plaque with red paint half peeled off in front of the door. The plaque says Jinyu Inn.
Chen Xi looked at the closed door of the inn and asked, "Do you have money?"
Lu Qianyu smiled faintly, looked at Ling Yun and said, "Take it out!"
Ling Yun revealed a surprised expression: "Wha... What are you taking out? What do you think I am doing? I have no money."
Chen Xi was taken aback for a moment, and when he was still at a loss, Lu Qianyu had already interjected: "I just saw you put the bag of silver in Zhong Liang's closet into your pocket, don't you say it's the silver yourself!" The long legs ran into your pocket."
Chen Xi looked at Ling Yun and said, "You kid is actually stealing things right under our noses!"
Ling Yun smiled awkwardly: "Professional habits...professional habits, he took out the bag of silver from his sleeve and threw it away: "If I hadn't taken this bag of silver, wouldn't we have to sleep on the street tonight? So it seems that I still have the foresight. "
Lu Qianyu walked slowly and knocked on the door. After about half a cup of tea, the door opened from the inside. A chubby middle-aged man in a golden hibiscus flower pattern poked his head out with an oil lamp and asked vigilantly. : "Who? What's the matter?
Ling Yun leaned over from the side and said with a smile: "It's a big night, of course I'm here to stay here, otherwise I'm here to catch ghosts!"
"Bah... bah bah, there are no ghosts in our store!" The middle-aged man glanced at Ling Yun suspiciously and said, "I see why you look so familiar!Have we met somewhere?
"Don't try to get in touch with me, I've never seen you before!"
"You...you make me think that I must have met you, the middle-aged man said with certainty."
"If you think about it, you can go in and think about it slowly! It's very hard for the young master to stand here."
The middle-aged man opened the door to let the three of them in. When he saw the two people behind the young man behind him, he couldn't help but slapped his head and said, "Isn't that little ghost the little beggar in the west of the city? There are also two people behind him, one is from the Qin family." That stupid son, one is the master of the Qin family, what kind of wind is blowing today, how did these three people get together?"
Ling Yun stepped into the store and saw that Boss Jin was still standing at the door in a daze, and couldn't help urging him: "Boss Jin, can you still do this business, and there is no light in the store at night, and it is so dark inside that you can't see anything. Don't show us the way."
Boss Jin turned around and closed the door, walked in front of the three of them and smiled embarrassedly: "This... I'm sorry! I'm neglecting you."
Chen Xi smiled lightly: "It's okay!"
"Hmph, for the sake of my elder brother this time, I will forcefully forgive you!"
Lu Qianyu sneered after him: "A fox pretends to be a tiger.
Ling Yun turned to look at him and asked: "What is the fox... what does the tiger mean?
Lu Qianyu coughed lightly and laughed, "I just want to praise you for being as wise as a fox and as powerful as a tiger."
Ling Yun looked at him suspiciously and said: "Really? Why do I feel that you are scolding me?"
"It turns out that you are thinking too much. If you don't believe me, you can ask the young master. Lu Qianyu looked at Chen Xi and said, "Young master, what do you think! "
Chen Xi's lips curled into a smile: "Master Lu's way of complimenting people is really special.
Seeing Chen Xi's smiling face, Ling Yun believed it was true, looked at Lu Qianyu and said, "You have vision."
Lu Qianyu replied bluntly: "I have always had a good eye."
The three of them followed Boss Jin into the inn. The inn was pitch black, but the lamp in his hand dispelled the darkness around him. Ling Yun seemed to be in a better mood because of Lu Qianyu's praise, and he was smiling. Looking at Boss Jin with interest, he asked, "Excuse me, is there still food?"
Boss Jin lit the lamp in the living room, turned around and said, "Wait for a while."
After Boss Jin left, the three of them sat down at the table, and Chen Xi began to look at the inn. Although the outside of the inn looked old, the inside was unique, with red veils hanging on the surrounding pillars. In the middle is a huge table surrounded by bright red flowers, and there are mahogany tables and chairs surrounding the table.
Ling Yun took a sip of water from the teapot on the table, and said nonchalantly: "I don't know if those disciples of the Supreme Immortal Sect are reliable or not.
Chen Xi pursed his lips and smiled without answering, he was always at ease as a disciple of the Supreme Immortal Sect.
Although he has been away for a long time, as long as there is Ling Yunxiao in the Taishang Xianmen, he will never be lonely.
"The dishes of the three distinguished guests are here! Boss Jin's voice came from the kitchen. He walked slowly from the kitchen to the table with a wooden plate, and put down the dishes one by one. Ling Yun looked at Boss Jin and asked curiously: "Old Jin!It's not that I said that so many weird things have happened in your city recently, you dare to open the door at night, you are asking for money rather than life! "
When Boss Jin heard the words, he paused with his hand holding the plate, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "You are too young to understand! There are some things that make people go beyond fear and want to stick to it."
Ling Yun tilted his head and thought for a while: "What is that?"
Boss Jin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "My inn! It's an ancestral family business. I grew up here since I was a child, and I met my wife here, and finally got married here and gave birth to children. My beloved wife passed away early. Before she passed away, she told me that there is a custom in her hometown, that is, the living will light lamps all night long in the place where the dead usually live, and one day the souls of the departed will Then, following the guidance of the lights, I will light up the way home. Unfortunately, I have been lighting the lights in this inn for ten years, day in and day out, but I have never seen her soul return. Maybe she is lying to me. Want to give me some comfort!"
Chen Xi wondered if there would be someone who would light such a lamp for him after his death and wait for his return!Probably not!After all, he is just a forgotten sinner of the immortal sect, not even qualified to be remembered, so how can anyone hope that anyone can look forward to his return!
Lu Qianyu pushed Chen Xi and asked, "Master, what are you thinking? Your expression looks very sad."
"Nothing! It's just that I suddenly figured out a problem."
yes!After thinking about it, he was already homeless, so even if someone lights a lamp for him, where can he go back?
Ling Yun patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry, if you die, I will definitely light the lamp for you."
Lu Qianyu supported his forehead and said, "Sometimes I really wonder if you have no brains!"
Ling Yun looked at Lu Qianyu angrily: "What are you talking about! You have no brains!"
"The young master is already upset enough, you still curse him to death, what do you mean you are not brainless?"
Ling Yun said to Chen Xi with a guilty face: "Brother! I... I didn't mean that.
Chen Xi sighed helplessly: "Okay, let me be quiet for a while."
After dinner, the three of them prepared to go upstairs to rest. Boss Jin led the way with an oil lamp. The old stairs made creaking noises when stepped on. In this silent night, it seemed a little harsh and a little weird.
Ling Yun covered his ears and said: "Old Jin, your house has been renovated, why don't you change the stairs, the noise you get when you step on them is terrible."
"No way, this inn is halfway through renovation. Those workers refused to come when they heard that there was an accident in the city. They said that it is not worth losing their lives for this little wage. Boss Jin reminded: "By the way, you sleep at night, remember Close doors and windows. "
Seeing Boss Jin's nervous expression, Chen Xi couldn't help asking: "Is there something strange happening in this city again?"
Boss Jin sighed and said, "I don't know what strange things have happened in this city recently. More and more people are disappearing. They used to be babies, teenagers and girls, and now even some adults are starting to disappear."
Ling Yun trembled when he heard the words, and looked at Chen Xi with a smile on his face. Before he could speak, Chen Xi cast a glance at him, and said two words: "Don't talk."
"What about you! Second Brother Lu, don't you have the heart to look at me alone? The young man in his prime will be killed by the devil! If something happens if we sleep together, at least there is someone to take care of him."
Lu Qianyu said with a smile: "You must be afraid!"
"No...no, am I worried that you are afraid?"
Lu Qianyu had a look of pity: "That's really a pity! I thought you were afraid, and even said to sleep with you! Since you are not afraid, of course I am not afraid, so don't worry!"
"...You, okay, let me admit that I'm afraid, okay!
Ling Yun gave up on himself and said, "Don't you just want to hear me say this? Are you satisfied!"
Lu Qianyu smiled and said: "It's not that I want to hear you say this, but that you can grow by facing up to your own shortcomings. You are still a child and have the right to be afraid. You don't have to be brave in everything."
Ling Yun's body trembled, and then he looked at Lu Qianyu who was hiding in the darkness. His heart was full of sourness and pain. No one had ever taught him the truth. Being abandoned since he was a child, he developed a habit of being competitive in everything. Personality, but no one has ever told him that no matter how strong you are, you are just a child, and you have the right to be willful.
Ling Yun pursed his dry lips, and said softly: "Thank you! Second Brother Lu."
Lu Qianyu stretched out his hand and stroked Ling Yun's hair, and said softly: "You don't need to thank me! Although the choice of fate is not perfect, how you live is up to you, and you don't like to belittle yourself."
Boss Jin smiled and said, "You guys really look like two brothers."
Lu Qianyu sighed softly: "I really hope to have such a big brother."
Ling Yun also recovered his smile amid Boss Jin's teasing laughter, rolled his eyes at Lu Qianyu and said, "Then I think you will have to worship Guanyin for several lifetimes before you can find such a smart brother like me!"
Boss Jin took a candlestick to take a picture, turned around the door of the guest room and said, "Here we are, everyone, go to bed early!"
Walk out of the Qin Mansion and go straight to the east. The inn is located in an inconspicuous place on the east side. There is a plaque with red paint half peeled off in front of the door. The plaque says Jinyu Inn.
