Chapter 126 Strange Man
Chapter 126 Strange Man
Zhang Xianxian suddenly felt a little cold while sleeping. It turned out that she forgot to close the window, so she quickly got up to close it.
It's autumn now and there's a slight chill in the air. The moon is hanging high on the branches and the insects that have been noisy all summer have stopped chirping.
Looking back, she saw that a few pages of the book on the bedside table had been blown open by the wind. After Zhang Xianxian closed it, she fell into a deep sleep.
What she didn't know was that there was a man in black sitting on the roof, watching everything quietly, and then flew away.
"Ajiu, do you want to go to the market? You haven't been out for a long time." The proprietress wanted to take Zhang Xianxian with her.
Zhang Xianxian decisively refused, "Forget it, Madam Boss, it's too far. I don't want to go. I might as well get more sleep if I have the time."
The proprietress had been rejected by Zhang Xianxian with the same reason countless times, so she just went along with her.
After the proprietress left, a dusty man walked in, wearing black boots and a black gauze hat. Zhang Xianxian couldn't see his face at all, and was worried that this man might not be able to see the road clearly in the room with this outfit.
"Eat first. I'm hungry. Anything will do." A hoarse voice came out from his throat.
Zhang Xianxian saw him take out a bunch of silver and took it with a smile, "Okay, sir, you don't have any dietary restrictions, right?"
"No." It was still a hoarse voice, but Zhang Xianxian thought it sounded particularly nice.
Zhang Xianxian cooked a big bowl of noodles and added two eggs.
"Sir, eat your fill first. I'll go cook some side dishes."
"No, that's enough."
Zhang Xianxian saw that the man put his hat aside, revealing a face full of scars. The man ate very elegantly, which was not consistent with his rough appearance at all. He just ate in small bites.
As if noticing the look in Zhang Xianxian's eyes, the man was worried that his face would scare the girl, so he prepared to cover it with his hat. Zhang Xianxian quickly shifted her gaze elsewhere.
"Sir, would you like to stay here tonight?" Zhang Xianxian said at the right time.
"Are you the only one here?" the man asked, looking around. It seemed that there was no one else here.
"No." Zhang Xianxian replied with a smile.
Seeing this smiling face, the man felt a little scared, "Please prepare a room with plenty of light for me!"
"Okay, the second room on the left on the second floor."
Zhang Xianxian was reading a book on the side, and waited for the man to finish eating before taking him upstairs.
Perhaps the man felt that his voice was not pleasant, so he did not say much. He got up and went to his room and never came out again.
It was not until the proprietress came back in the evening that the man showed his head to see who was the loud voice chattering outside.
Seeing that it was a middle-aged woman carrying a lot of things, I went back to my room to rest.
The proprietress then stopped her loud voice and asked, "Are there any guests?"
Zhang Xianxian nodded.
The proprietress stretched out her hand and signaled for the money to be brought over quickly.
Zhang Xianxian reluctantly took out the silver ingot from her bosom.
The proprietress gave him a thumbs up decisively, "It seems like you can handle things on your own when I'm not around."
Zhang Xianxian responded with an of course expression.
The man stayed here for three days and then left in a hurry without telling anyone.
When Zhang Xianxian woke up, she found the door to the second floor was open, so she went upstairs to take a look. The room was very tidy, as if no one had been there.
There was just a bag of money left on the table.
Zhang Xianxian hopes there will be more guests like this.
He walked downstairs humming a little tune happily. When the landlady saw him, she knew that good things were going to happen again.
"I find that you have good luck, Jiu." said the proprietress, looking at the glittering money.
"Hehehe." Zhang Xianxian also felt so.
At this time, a man and a woman walked in, and the proprietress protected Zhang Xianxian behind her.
"The food is ready." The proprietress whispered to Zhang Xianxian.
There seemed to be something wrong with these two people, and there was a strong murderous aura about them.
"Which room did the person just now stay in here?" the woman asked in a sharp voice.
The proprietress pointed to the room on the second floor. After all, less trouble is better.
"Is there nothing inside?" the proprietress asked Zhang Xianxian in a low voice.
Zhang Xianxian shook her head.
A man and a woman flew to the room, searched it carefully, and found that nothing was left, so they looked at Zhang Xianxian and the proprietress.
"Did he leave anything behind?"
"What you just saw was what it looked like when he left. We haven't even started to clean up yet."
Seeing that Zhang Xianxian didn't seem to be lying, he prepared to leave.
The two of them turned the room upside down. The landlady closed the door and said, "Pay compensation for the damage before you leave!"
The man said provocatively, "No one has asked us for money yet. Don't they know our names?"
"What's the name?" Zhang Xianxian asked sincerely.
"A pair of male and female evil spirits."
Zhang Xianxian laughed out loud when she heard the name.
The woman raised her sword and started to chop.
But who knew that both of them would go limp. Ever since the first incident at the inn, the proprietress had developed a new type of poison, which was colorless and odorless. It had already spread throughout the inn when the proprietress was protecting Zhang Xianxian.
Also because I wanted to know what these two people were trying to do, I didn't activate the poison.
When the two men were tied up tightly, the woman realized that she had entered a shady shop. "The money is here, that's enough!" The woman pushed the purse forward with her foot.
Zhang Xianxian opened it and found that the amount was not bad, so she nodded to the proprietress.
"Don't think about causing trouble here. Don't think about this: there is only one inn in the whole mountain." The proprietress said softly.
The woman nodded frantically, "We are the ones who didn't recognize the great man."
The man was still a little skeptical, but when he saw that his partner had given in, he gave up.
"I have to tell you again, that person really didn't leave anything here, so it's useless for you to look for him. It's better to search for him quickly than to waste time here."
The proprietress untied the ropes for the two men.
"Antidote?" the woman asked.
"If you go ten miles away from here, the solution will be solved naturally."
The woman hurriedly walked out with the man.
"Boss lady, your medicine is getting stronger and stronger now."
"Of course. After all, there's plenty of time to waste in the mountains. So, do you want to learn from me?" The proprietress was also bored, so it would be a good idea to teach an apprentice.
Zhang Xianxian was extremely excited after listening to this. This was something that could kill people without being seen, so she had to study it well.
Little did they know that these painful days had just begun.
