Wu Yu

Chapter 48 Inn

The carriage staggered into the mountain road, Qingqiu Jue's knuckle-boned fingers rested casually on the wooden board of the carriage, a small black snake went down the wooden board in the hanging sleeve, and there was an imperceptible thing tied to its tail, it didn't enter Among the vegetation, it quickly disappeared into the forest.

Fanzhen is not close to the capital city, so they will be delayed for several days on the road. They will pass a mountain in the direction they are going. It is said that there are beasts infesting it. They must go out before sunset, otherwise they will not be safe at night.

There is no sound in this mountain forest, and the thick and thick trees with luxuriant branches block the light from outside. From a distance, only the dark outline can be seen. It makes people feel dreadful after staying for a long time.

Meng Yi's small mouth never stopped, but as the light got darker and darker, his voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, he seemed to sense something unusual, so he didn't dare to speak, for fear of attracting something bad.

Xie Lingyu couldn't help frowning, opened the curtain and looked outside, the sparse light shone in, but there was no warmth, and there were dense white bones submerged in the soil everywhere he looked. Noren, "This..."

"Shh." The man in the rough clothes in front seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and said in a low voice without looking back: "Tunyunling, don't make any noise."

General Sun Xiao also slowed down, mobilized the horse and came over, his voice was very low, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would get flustered, if you keep quiet, you'll be fine, it's still daytime."

Xie Lingyu nodded, took a deep breath and sat back, tore off a piece of clothes and wrapped Meng Yi's mouth twice.

Meng Yi: "?"

Xie Lingyu patted his head affectionately and said with a sigh, "I have wronged you, Ziyue, I am afraid that you will not be able to restrain yourself, so I will help you."

Meng Yi: "..."

Xie Lingyu pushed away his cannibalistic face, closed his eyes and rested himself.

But the heart is not as calm as the surface, Tunyun Ridge is the famous "Cannibal Ridge", and there have been many sensational stories here.

Legend has it that there are snake seas, wolves, tigers and other ferocious beasts in Tunyun Ridge. If they are disturbed, there will be no bones left. Some people say that there is an ancient tribe here, who take pleasure in cannibalism.

What's more, it used to be the palace of a certain dynasty, and there were many ghosts who died in vain, and there were dangers everywhere at night.

Over time, a rule came out.

Passing through Tunyun Ridge, don't speak or see or listen during the day, don't enter but don't break through at night.

Now Xie Lingyu and Meng Yi knew why His Majesty sent Little General Sun to accompany him. General Sun had the reputation of "running through the clouds at night to save his father" in his young age.

When General Sun was in danger, General Sun took the soldier talisman to rush into Tunyun Ridge overnight. When he came out, he was covered in blood, but he brought his intact horse to rescue the soldiers in time, and became the first one who came out of Tunyun Ridge at night. figure.

Because of this, how many people were pretentious, and ended up dying among them, and more and more people died in Tunyun Ridge, so the people behind did not dare to try it lightly, leaving only a pile of bones and legends.

No one knows how General Sun Xiao came out.

The two people outside looked around carefully, not daring to be distracted. In fact, they had another safe route, but that route would take more time, and Fanzhen could not afford to wait now.

General Sun seemed to slow down unintentionally, Qingqiu Jue looked up at him, yawned, and asked him what was wrong with his eyes.

Just as General Sun was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, Qingqiu Jue also frowned, the two looked behind at the same time, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Not far behind the carriage, there was a white-fronted tiger staring at them.

The tiger was huge, almost twice the size of an ordinary tiger. Sun Qian subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but was held down by Qingqiu Jue. He reached into the carriage with his other hand and made a "don't move" gesture.

Xie Lingyu and Meng Yi looked at each other with a bad premonition in their hearts.

The two people outside the carriage confronted the tiger, Qingqiu Jue didn't move, just looked at it indifferently, the tiger let out a low growl, and its body also made an attacking posture.

In the carriage, Xie Lingyu turned around suddenly, naturally he couldn't see anything, but he could hear clearly that there was a big and strong tiger behind him, but remembering Qingqiu Jue's gesture, he didn't move rashly.

Qingqiu Jue remained motionless, his eyes were cold and stern, he moved his sleeves lightly, and a dark light flashed by.

It's a bit troublesome. Although it's daytime, if there is a real fight, the sound may attract more difficult guys, so I can only try with the poisoned flying blade.

Qingqiu Jue patted the horse lightly with the rein, the horse seemed to feel the danger, and walked forward slowly, while observing the tiger, he squeezed the flying knives tightly in his hand.

The tiger didn't move, it stared at them for a while, then slowly backed away, Qingqiu Jue silently breathed a sigh of relief when he saw its belly swell when it leaned back and backed up.

This is a pregnant tigress, it looks like it is about to give birth, and it is looking for a hiding place, so it will not attack them.

Sun Qian obviously saw it too, and he loosened his grip on the hilt of his sword. He didn't walk until the tiger was out of their sight. Then he walked to the window of the carriage and said softly, "It's all right."

Xie Lingyu kept listening to the movement behind him, touched Meng Yi who was covered in cold sweat, and rushed outside, "I'm sorry."

Meng Yi had a bitter face, and stood next to Xie Lingyu, not even daring to speak in a low voice. The two of them were stuck together warmly, and soon became sleepy.

They fell asleep in a daze, but fortunately, they didn't encounter any beasts, but a bird that was scurrying away, accidentally added some lines to General Sun's clothes, and happened to bump into an unreasonable bird The savage monkey was robbed of a few pastries, and finally encountered a giant python blocking the way. General Sun finally couldn't bear it anymore, and drew his sword on the spot to send it on the road.

Qingqiu Jue relaxed and leaned against the side of the carriage from the beginning to the end, without any intention of helping, and even enjoyed it, casting admiring glances at Sun Qian.

Sun Qian silently looked at Qingqiu Jue's peaceful appearance, then at his messy clothes, pulled at his messy hair, touched his hand scratched by a monkey, and finally touched the bloody sword Wipe it off and put it back in the scabbard.

Looking at the little general's cloudy face, it seemed that he wanted to make a move, but for some unknown reason, he finally endured it.

The dull color faded, and there was a bright spot not far away. Qingqiu Jue's slightly tense back finally loosened at this moment. If you catch something on your back, no one with your family and mouth can think of going out.

The group walked eastward for a long time, and finally saw the people. It was a very small town. Sun Qian asked the locals, and the group came to the only inn in the town. It seemed that the business here was not very good, but it was still clean.

Qingqiu Jue took a glance, then knocked on the side of the carriage, "Here we are."

Xie Lingyu was awakened by two "knock knocks", and his whole body trembled. Meng Yi, who was lying on top of him, also trembled in fright.

Xie Lingyu stepped on the flat land, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It seemed that one second he was in the dangerous barren mountains, and the next second he came to the densely populated town and countryside.

His head was bounced hard, Xie Lingyu covered it in pain, raised his eyes to look at the perpetrator in shock, "You..."

Qingqiu Jue raised his chin at the inn in a leisurely manner, and said confidently: "What are you doing in a daze, pay the bill, my lord, there is a whole family of people waiting for you to raise."

Meng Yi had just touched the ground with one foot behind him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look up. He had forgotten how to use his second foot. It was Sun Qian who silently supported him. It was only after he lost his strength that he realized who was beside him. He thanked him stiffly, and then dragged Xie Lingyu, who was stunned, into the inn with an awkward smile.

The shopkeeper and the waiter warmly greeted him with a wrinkled smile on his face: "Guest officer, how many people are there?"

Xie Lingyu took out his purse and threw a golden bean over: "Four of you, want the best room..."

Sun Qian frowned, held him down and said in a low voice, "Brother Xie, just need two rooms."

Although Xie Lingyu didn't understand why, he changed his words: "Two upper rooms, boil some hot water, and you can watch the food."

The shopkeeper looked at the little golden bean smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and he kept saying yes. The waiter put a sweat towel around his neck and yelled "boil water" and "serve food" inside.

Several people took out the salute by themselves. On the way, Sun Qian explained: "Don't be alone in a foreign country. In some places, you can't live in inns, and the folk customs are not good. I have been here a few years ago, and there is no problem. It is better to be careful."

Xie Lingyu nodded, indicating that he understood.

They didn't bother others, and carried their luggage upstairs by themselves. Fortunately, there were not many things. They stepped on the stairs, but they froze at the door of the room.

Qingqiu Jue leaned against the door frame with a half-smile, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Meng Yi grabbed Xie Lingyu tightly, forced out the word "help" with his expression, Sun Qian hesitated and asked, "Brother Xie is with Mr. Qing, or with me?"

Meng Yi reacted fiercely: "He is with me!"

Sun Qian wondered: "You and brother Xie don't practice martial arts, what should you do if you encounter problems?"

One sentence stopped Xie Lingyu. Sun Qian didn't know that he knew martial arts. Although he didn't deliberately hide it from Meng Yi, this stupid thing probably wouldn't notice.

Xie Lingyu felt the increasing force on his elbow, he suppressed a smile and asked, "Well... Ziyue, do you think you are with Mr. Qing, or with General Sun?"

Meng Yi: "..."

Meng Yi took a stiff look at the "fox spirit" who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and then took a disgusted look at the serious and rigid Sun Xiao, who looked like a gentleman.

He struggled in his heart for a moment, but finally reluctantly followed Xiao Guban, and said in a muffled voice, "Little General, I'm sorry."

Xie Lingyu was afraid that the corner of his mouth would accidentally widen, so after watching his good brother enter the room, he showed a schadenfreude smile, but when he turned his head, he saw Qingqiu Jue leaning against the wall and smiling.

Xie Lingyu: "..."

He stopped his expression for a moment, and smiled at him hypocritically, "Let's go."

Saying that, Xie Lingyu raised his foot and walked in, and at the same time snatched the package containing the pastry from Qingqiu Jue's hand, Qingqiu Jue straightened up lazily, and followed in slowly.

A few people simply tidied up the house, and then went downstairs to have dinner. After a while, it became dark outside. Xie Lingyu roughly calculated the distance, and felt that it would take at least four or five days to get to Fantasia like today. town.

This is still too slow, we have to find a way.
