Xiao Fu exclaimed, "Girl, it's an inn, I finally found a place to stay."

The inn stood alone, with the brocade at the door fluttering, and when the wind blew, the word "wine" on it suddenly became crooked.

There is no one in the vicinity, no horses are parked at the door, and the door is still closed. I don't know if there is anyone inside. There are high mountains in the distance, and the shadows of the mountains are layered, hanging from the sky like a curtain.

Kong Qing was sleeping next to Rongli, and when she heard the two girls yelling, she woke up immediately, and then looked outside, after the absurd and treacherous incident last night, she didn't show her face when she saw the inn. He showed a look of joy, but it was like a stick in his throat.

Rong Li fixedly looked at the inn, vaguely felt weird, this is not an official road, it would be no surprise if there was an inn on the official road, but in this wilderness, maybe there are not many people passing by for a year or so Well, this inn is open here, I'm afraid it will be a loss.

She turned her head quietly, originally wanting to look at Hua Su, but unexpectedly met Kong Qing's gaze, this girl was always calm, but now she seemed to be frightened, staring motionlessly like an eagle.

What he gave last night was really a strong medicine, it was too strong.

Kong Qing moved her throat, swallowed, and finally rolled her eyeballs, looked out of the curtain, lowered her voice and said, "Girl, could this inn be..."

"What is it?" Rong Li only thought it was weird, but he couldn't see what was going on for the time being.

Kong Qing slowly took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Could it be created by a monster?"

Rong Li smiled, but did not respond immediately.With this pair of yin and yang eyes, she has never seen any monsters, at most they are half-monsters like Luo Xia who turn into ghosts from vines. It is really strange to think about it, even ghosts can be seen, why has she never met a monster? Pass.

There are often all kinds of monsters in the storybooks in the market, such as flowers, trees, cats, dogs, or monsters turned into monsters. There are all kinds of monsters.

"Probably not." Rong Li pursed his lips, raised his voice and said to Bai Liu, "Go and have a look."

The carriage that was going along the mountain road suddenly turned a corner and drove towards the inn.

The cat lying on the cushion remained motionless, its green pupils were cold, and it looked at the inn in the distance without blinking.

At the entrance of the inn, Bai Liu tied the horse to the tree, turned around and put down the footstool so that her daughter could step on the ground.

Kong Qing got out of the carriage first, and stood under the carriage so that Rongli could get out of his hands, but looked towards the closed door of the inn from time to time.

Rong Li was still in the car, and said to the limp black cat, "What's wrong with this inn?"

Chuizhu called out softly, but what fell on Rongli's ears was the ghost's cold voice that seemed to be breathing in the cold, "Go and have a look, although there is no breath of living people in the inn."

There is no smell of living people, which is a big deal. There may still be something in the inn, but... most of them are not people.

Hearing this, Rong Li paused, stretched out his hand in the air, and didn't really want to get out of the carriage anymore.

Hua Suwu jumped off the cushion and landed on the ground in a few strokes.

Such a little black cat landed lightly on the ground without even making a sound.

When Xiaofu lowered her head, she suddenly saw a pitch-black mass at her feet, and almost stepped on it in fright. After seeing clearly that it was a pendant bead, she took a sudden step back.

Rong Li got out of the carriage, bent down and picked up the cat at his feet. He originally wanted to ask the three girls to knock on the door, but he thought it would be better to knock on the door himself, lest some man-eating monster would open the door. .

With the wind blowing behind him, the skinning ghost attached to the roof of the car also fell to the ground.The peony-patterned clothes it is wearing are very gorgeous, with a delicate little face, which should be pleasing, but it has no expression on it, and its eyes are still open with slack.

The wooden door of the inn was really closed tightly, and there was still a piece of old coarse cloth hanging in front of the door. Perhaps it had been exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, and the original color could hardly be seen, it was dusty, and the patterns embroidered on it were a bit strange , not like a living person would use.

Rong Li raised his hand and knocked on the door, and the three girls watched nervously from behind.

After knocking three times, no one in the room responded, as if there was nothing in the inn.

Rong Li had no choice but to knock on the door three more times, and raised his voice to ask, "Is anyone there?"

Hua Su nestled in her arms, rolled her green eyes, and said softly: "Don't ask if there is anyone, just tell the shopkeeper that you want to stay in the shop."

Maybe there is no one in this inn, this... how to stay in the inn?

But Rongli still believed her, he hesitated to speak, his voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Is the shopkeeper here, stay at the shop."

As soon as her voice fell, footsteps suddenly came from inside the door, creaking, as if an old wooden ladder was crumbling.

In such a moment, Rong Xin understood that this inn is really not the place he should come to.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, she was covered in chills, stared downcastly, looked at the cat in her arms, and whispered, "Can I really live here?"

Xiao Fu was right behind her, thinking that the girl was talking to her, and said cheerfully: "Girl, I finally came across an inn, and it's good to rest here for a day. After passing this village, there will be no such inn, and there will be no inn." I don’t know how long it will take to run into another inn.”

The heart is really big.

Bai Liu looked around, she was happy when she saw this inn for the first time, but now she couldn't laugh anymore, if it was a serious inn, how could it not open, the door is closed so tightly, would it really be able to welcome guests?

Hua Su snorted lightly, "Sitting in the carriage for so long, I think you can hardly straighten your legs. If you don't rest for half a day to cherish your life, how will you follow me in the future?"

Rong Li thought, could it be that living in this inn run by a demon or a ghost is a waste of life?

Hua Su whispered in her ear: "Stay well for half a day, I can teach you, but there is still more to come."

Rong Li pursed her lips and said nothing, the heavy footsteps seemed to be stepping on her heart, every time the footsteps sounded, her chest seemed to be slammed, and she almost couldn't breathe.

Hua Su said: "There is nothing to be afraid of, just go in." Her voice was cold, and she was very disdainful of the things in the inn.

"Here we come." Someone in the room answered, but it was loud.

Xiao Fu's eyes lit up, "Girl, there is really someone!" She was as happy as a silly girl.

The door opened immediately, and the dusty curtain was raised, and a man in coarse linen turned sideways inside the door and said, "It's been cold recently, there are many fewer people passing by, and the shopkeeper is sick again, so he simply didn't open the door." , neglect the girls."

After finishing speaking, his eyes paused behind Rongli.

The man who spoke was a little short and a little fat, so his footsteps were surprisingly heavy when he walked.

Rong Li blinked, but she didn't see anything ghostly from this man. She looked inside and found that the room was fairly clean, but the wooden benches were all turned upside down on the table, except for this man , not a single other shadow was seen.

The man raised his hand and said: "Please wait among the five girls, please wait here for a while, I will clean up the guest room."

Bai Liu was terrified when he heard that, counted with his fingers, and said timidly: "No wonder you can only be a waiter in the shop, and you can't even count."

The man turned his head and smiled, "I made a mistake in counting, please forgive me, girl."

Rongli knew in his heart that the extra number could not be Hua Su, Hua Su was staying in Chuizhu's body, and the extra number seemed to be the skinning ghost.

Frowning, she stepped in, raised her hand and wiped a mark under her eyelids, then covered her left eye, looking around with only one right eye.

There is no blood in his eyes, it seems that there is no karma here, and there is no resentment left, but... the waiter in the shop is clean, not even a trace of ghost, he should not be able to see the peeling The devil is right.

After looking around, she wiped the lower eyelid of her right eye again, nodded and said, "Okay."

Kong Qing was the last to enter the house and closed the door behind her.

There is charcoal burning in the house, so even if the earth dragon has not been dug, it is not so cold.

The man took down the long wooden bench that was turned upside down on the table, tore off the coarse cloth covering his shoulders, wiped it a few times and said, "Miss, sit down, I'm going to clean up the guest room right now."

Rong Li sat down holding his skirt, "Why don't you ask how many rooms I live in?"

The man paused, turned around and said with a smile, "How many rooms does the girl want?"

Rong Li lowered his eyes and thought, "Just clean up the two rooms."

The man rubbed his head, "I'm afraid it's a bit crowded, girl, there are...five people."

He paused for a moment, then changed his words: "I made a mistake again, please forgive me, miss."

Rong Li didn't answer, covered his lips and coughed a few times.

The chubby little one had no choice but to say again: "The little one will go up and clean up."

Rong Li watched the man go up the stairs intently, and when he couldn't see the figure, he closed his eyes and said softly: "In such a big inn, is it possible that there is only one waiter and a shopkeeper who never showed up?"

It's okay if you don't say anything, but as soon as you said this, Bai Liu trembled, but she still wanted to pretend to be indifferent, her eyes were blatantly looking around, but her legs were very honest, stuck in place without moving. move.

Rongli was confused, but Hua Su didn't explain much, as if he was dumb.

On weekdays, she babbled on and on, being critical and disgusting in her ears, but now she didn't say a word, it was quite uncomfortable.

Rongli's ears were cleared, but his heart was not calm. After a while, he lowered his eyes suspiciously, and lifted the cat in his arms a little. When he saw the cold green eyes, he felt a little relieved. This cat It is indeed Hua Su in the body.

After a while, Xiaoer tidied up the guest room, and came down the stairs again, "Clean it up, girls follow me."

Rong Li stood up unhurriedly, one hand clenched the collar of the fox fur, his chin was covered under the furry collar, his pale lips were half covered by the fox fur, and he looked slightly pursed. It seems a little stubborn.

Xiao Er saw them going upstairs, and then continued: "During this time, I have never thought about earning any money. Since the beginning of winter, I haven't even had a guest staying in the hotel, at most it's just a prank. I left, and now I have prepared four guest rooms for the girl, and when I leave, I will only pay for one room, and the girl does not need to pay more."

The big-armed little girl turned her head and smiled, "Anyway, these rooms are empty, so it's better to let the girls live comfortably. It's just that there aren't many fresh vegetables in the kitchen, so I'm afraid I'll offend the girls."

If these words came from the mouth of the shopkeeper, it would be quite natural, but it happened to be a waiter in the shop who spoke.

"It's okay, just make some porridge later." Rong Li smiled.

Xiaoer replied: "Okay."

Rong Li followed him for a while, and after a while of silence, he said: "The shopkeeper is sick, there must be someone who settles the accounts and cooks. Could it be that you are the one who settles the accounts and cooks the meals?" She walked lightly, walking casually Strength, footsteps are vain, more like a ghost than a ghost.

Xiao Er scratched his head, "The account manager took leave to go home a few years ago, and he didn't come back until after winter. It's so cold today, so there's no account to settle. The shopkeeper simply allowed him to go back. The cook is in the kitchen In the house, I'm just a handyman, how can I cook, the girl flattered me."

"What's wrong with your shopkeeper? It's hard to find a doctor in this wilderness." Kong Qing said suddenly.

Xiaoer said in a low voice: "I don't know, but the shopkeeper has been unable to cheer up these days. If this person is not energetic, he will get sick easily. The shopkeeper won't go to the city to see what kind of wind and cold are coming. Doctor, I just want to wait for this disease to recover by myself."

"How long have you been sick?" Rong Li coughed twice, and raised his eyelids wearily.

Xiao Er replied ambiguously: "It's been a while, it seems like a long time."

After sending them into the guest room, the man said: "I'm going to let the kitchen cook some porridge and stir-fry some side dishes. It's just that I haven't stocked up any vegetables this winter, so I can only stir-fry them casually."

Rong Li hugged the cat, supported the door and said, "It's okay, eat whatever you have, don't worry."

Xiao Er laughed a few times, she looked simple, turned around and left.

The kitchen is downstairs, and now it is on the second floor. It stands to reason that such a big and round man should have footsteps going downstairs, but it happened quietly.

Rong Li held onto the door frame without moving for a long time, Xiao Fu yawned, as if she didn't realize that there was a ghost in this inn.

The cat in her arms moved, Hua Su seemed to have found some fun, sneered very lightly, jumped out of her arms, and landed lightly on the ground without causing any movement.

Bai Liu and Kong Qing looked at each other, Kong Qing was very calm, only a little cold sweat seemed to break out on his forehead, but Bai Liu's teeth were shaking like chaff.

Rong Li took out the painting from his sleeve pocket, held it tightly in his hand, stood at the door for a long time before deciding to go in, sat down at the table cautiously, turned around and said, "Why don't you come in."

The words were spoken to Hua Su, but the three girls heard the truth and entered the house one after another.

The black cat stood still outside the door, and its earphones shook sensitively, as if it had sensed something.

The black cat stared at a certain place motionlessly, with a rather intimidating appearance, as if there was something dirty standing in front of it.

When Hua Su didn't occupy his body, his beaded tail with a tuft of white hairs always hung down, as if he was not very energetic, like a dog with its tail clamped. Then it was raised high, looking completely defiant.

The cat now stood at the door of the inn with its tail up, didn't look back for a long while, and then slowly turned around after a while, leaped into the threshold with cold eyes, and lay down at Rongli's feet slowly.

Now that the three girls are all there, it's not easy for her to ask what's wrong with this ghost.

Hua Su said lightly, "Do you know where this is?"

Rongli wanted to ask, she had never seen such a weird inn.

Hua Su sneered lightly, and said indifferently: "This is a knot, a knot in the heart."

With a movement of his lips, Rong Li silently recited the word "heart knot", but couldn't figure out what this heart knot had to do with the inn.

The three girls were fidgeting on the sidelines, and Kong Qing looked towards the door from time to time, for fear that someone would suddenly knock on the door.

Xiao Fu was really big, turned over the cup on the table, just about to pour a cup of tea for the girl, suddenly saw a bug crawling out from under the cup, crawled to the edge of the table and disappeared.

"Ah—" she yelled, stood up hastily, pointed at the table and changed her voice: "Why are there still bugs!"

Chui Zhu flicked her tail perfunctorily, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the worm under the table.

Xiao Fu hurriedly said: "Isn't it already cleaned up? Why didn't they even take care of the table? I saw that cats in other people's houses were happy when they saw bugs, and they had to play with them for a while before they were willing to throw them away. Go catch bugs."

Hua Su snorted coldly, not being as knowledgeable as this mortal girl, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.His eyes were closed, but the clear and cold voice was close to Rongli's ears, "After death, there are always obsessions. Some will turn into ghosts and harm others, and some will stand still and refuse to leave an inch, just deceiving themselves and others." .”

Rong Li frowned, but she couldn't see the ghost in her eyes, where is that ghost?

Hua Su seemed to see through what was going on in her heart, and said indifferently: "The one who is obsessed is probably not the little girl. The only one who can talk about things in this inn is the shopkeeper. Maybe the shopkeeper has a thin ghost, so you don't notice it. The reason for this is presumably because she was supposed to be reincarnated, but she wanted to bind herself in a cocoon."

Rong Li understood what he heard, but he couldn't figure it out clearly. This ghost knew it was a "knot", but he wanted to persuade her to take a look.

Hua Su snorted lightly: "Although this inn is haunted by ghosts, if you want to stay with me, you should know all ghosts. If you have nothing to do on the road, it's not bad to gain insight."

Rong Li vaguely felt that Hua Su was evasive, she was already silent, and now she was even more reluctant to speak.

How dare Xiaofu pour hot tea from the pot for the girl, the pot is hot to the touch, but the tea in it is not clean.She simply took out the water bag and handed it to Rongli, "Girl, drink some honey water."

Rong Li took a sip and saw that the three girls were stubbornly opening their eyes, but they were all sleepy, so he simply said: "If you don't want to squeeze on the bed, you can rest for a while."

Bai Liu shook her head, how dare she sleep.

Kong Qing pushed her shoulders, "Go to sleep when you're sleepy, otherwise, where's the energy to serve the girl?"

This was a half-push, half-satisfaction, so Bai Liu had no choice but to lie down on the bed, and Xiao Fu followed suit.The two people didn't like to see each other, each turned over and fell asleep with the back of the head facing the back of the head.

Kong Qing leaned on the table and fell asleep after a while.

Hua Su was still staying in Chuizhu's body, as if he was about to transform into his original body, and said softly: "Now that you have entered this knot, if you meet again in the future, you won't be unable to untie it."

Rong Li asked softly: "How to explain, is the waiter in the store a fake?"

"It's just a phantom." Hua Su said: "Ordinary people get into this knot, and it's not easy to get out."

"Then how do we get it together? Could it be that we still have to test out this ghost knot?" Rong Li lowered his eyes and pondered, "Then we have to meet the shopkeeper, but we don't know where she lives right now."

"This knot is just a delusion. Except for the fact that the main knot is true, the rest are all illusory. Such a illusory state can be created with painting ghosts." Hua Su said lightly, "But what kind of painting can you paint? The degree depends on the ability of the pen owner."

Rong Li frowned, "Can Hua Sui draw such a deceptive place?"

"Naturally, why can't you draw something as easy as you want?" Hua Su said, "It depends on whether you have the ability."

Rong Li stretched out his half-hidden hand in his cuff, stretched out his five fingers, and lay a thin brush in his palm.

There was a strange feeling in her heart, as if Hua Su was deliberately teaching her something, and this ghost seemed to know it well, as if it had done such things countless times.

Her heart suddenly hung high for unknown reasons.

Rong Li clenched his fingers tightly and held Hua Sui tightly, "You are so powerful, you should have taught many people before."

Hua Su smiled lightly, "'People' don't have to, others don't have this honor."
