Chapter 55: Late Autumn Night
In the evening, Hongchen Inn was closed for a long time.
After Uncle Fu boiled the hot water, Song Kai took a long knife in his hand, wiped his sweat, and said, "Uncle Fu, you and Tieshan will still go to the bun shop to sleep today."
Ah Fu wiped his sweat and muttered, "Dalang, what do you mean?"
Zhao Tieshan, who was on the side, angrily waved the meteorite kitchen knife, "What else can it mean? It is obvious that we two ruined the good things between him and Miss Nie, hum!"
After hearing this, Afu laughed, "Oh, look at me so confused, OK, Dalang, I'll go over there with Zhao Tieshan."
Zhao Tieshan stomped his feet in dissatisfaction, "If Song Lang was not the store owner and I was just a guy, I would bet that the girl Lingling would definitely like me and not like him."
Song Kai waved his hand, "Okay, go quickly."
Afu pulled Zhao Tieshan away from Hongchen Inn. Nie Lingdang stroked his hair and came from the front hall. She had just calculated the accounts.
"What's going on? Have you asked them to sleep outside again?" Nie Lingdang asked. Although she and Song Kai were the only ones staying in the entire inn at night, Nie Lingdang was not worried, but instead slept more comfortably.
"Well," Song Kai took the water, "She took a shower and went to bed. By the way, have the money hidden?"
"Hide it, I don't know what happened to you recently, why are you always careful? Are you still afraid of thieves?" Nie Lingling muttered.
Song Kai just smiled, then helped Nie Lingdang carry a few buckets of water, and the two of them took a shower in the room.
After taking a shower, both of them changed into clean clothes, played chess, and chatted without mentioning them.
As usual, Nie Lingdang was about to go back to his room to sleep at about eight o'clock.
"Remember tonight..."
"I know, remember to cover the quilt tonight and not take off your clothes. It's so long-lasting," Nie Lingling waved her hand and walked back to her room.
Song Kai lay on the bed and sighed slightly. It has been more than a week. Suzhou City is still peaceful and Hongchen Inn is safe. Maybe he was thinking too much, maybe Yang Huaiyan really gave up, maybe Yang Rongguang stopped his son's behavior.
Close your eyes.
Nie Lingling's voice came from the next door of the house, "Song Kai, are you worried about Yang Huaiyan?"
"Yes, yesterday he led people into the inn and wanted to catch you, so I was even more worried," Song Kai said.
"Song Kai," Nie Lingdang, next door, was silent for a while, "Don't worry, I know I'm a trouble after all, but my trouble should be gone soon."
"Why? Are you leaving?" Song Kai asked in confusion.
"It should be soon. Recently, there is a business trip back from the Holy City. I heard that the turmoil in the Holy City is about to stop. I think it will take not long before I can go back to the Turkic Holy City," Nie Lingling said in a low voice, with some reluctance.
"You are not my trouble, Lingling. This trouble was caused by myself. You should be called Youyuan. Whether you believe it or not, the first person I met was actually you. The day you escaped to the inn was actually the first day of my new life. I forgot all the past, and the first name I remembered was Nie Lingling." Song Kaitou rested his arms and said slowly.
Next door is a long silence, and silence again.
"Are you asleep? That good night," Song Kai also closed his eyes.
"if……"
After a long time, two words suddenly popped up next to the wooden board.
Song Kai asked in surprise: "What's wrong? What if?"
"If I invite you to the Holy City, I sincerely invite you to go, are you... willing to go back with me?" Nie Lingling used all her strength and finally asked her own question.
Song Kai thought for a while and said, "Maybe, it will."
"Really?" The voice next door was very surprised.
"Of course, if I have no way out, I will definitely go there to join you. But now, look, I have a house and a horse, but I don't want to leave," Song Kai smiled.
Nie Lingling said "up" with a little joy in her voice, "It's so petty. I can give you ten times more rewards to you with your family business with a wave of my hand in the Holy City."
Song Kai laughed.
The two of them talked and then closed their eyes and fell asleep.
The night is dark.
It's late autumn.
In the second half of the night, the cold autumn night enveloped the entire Suzhou City.
In the quiet Dongchengfang, the voice of the husband came.
"The heavenly stems are impatient, be careful of the fire candle... dongdongdongdong..."
The old antique yawned and knocked on the gong in his hand. He tightened his clothes and the coldness of late autumn came into his bones.
The public security in Suzhou City has been very good recently, and he is just going through the motions.
A crow flew up from the treetops with a "gala" sound and left quickly.
The old man trembled in fear, and then mocked himself, "Are you so old, are you still afraid of this thing?"
"Smack it..."
A slight sound of footsteps sounded.
The old Gengfu's spirit became tense again, and he quickly turned around. There was no one on the street. "Who is it?"
The old man shouted tremblingly, and he suddenly remembered a legend. It was rumored that every autumn, the little ghosts in the City God Temple often carried sedan chairs and walked on the streets at night. If they were caught by living people, they would definitely be plagued by illness.
Thinking of this, the old Gengfu quickly approached the wall, for fear that he would hit the ghost who was rushing to the road.
"Play..."
The footsteps are clearer.
The old man listened carefully this time. When he turned around again, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, "brushing", as if the cold wind blew across his neck.
"It's not a ghost, it's a human," the old commissar reacted, and then he felt the coldness, and the cold became heavier and heavier. Finally, he fell to the ground weakly. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a pool of blood on the ground. The blood seemed to be his own.
"How far is it?" asked a voice in the darkness.
"It's almost done, take a turn, walk more than ten feet, and it's Hongchen Inn," another voice sounded, and the man rubbed a bloody dagger.
"Okay, all are quicker, everyone should hurry up."
"Dang thump"
The footsteps were very light and dense, and they ran towards another alley entrance.
Soon, the footsteps stopped, and directly ahead, through the darkness, a plaque could be vaguely seen with the words "Red Chen Inn" written on it.
"It's here," a very strong man stopped, looked up at the inn plaque, and sighed, "What a pity, I have heard of the fame of this Hongchen Inn, but it is about to fall into this field. Flying Monkey, have you heard it clearly? Then Song Kaike lives here?"
"If you think about the boss, you do live here, and there is a woman who lives in the backyard, and there is a small door in the backyard," a thin young man bowed his hand and replied carefully, "I will never make any mistakes when I stay near the inn every day these days."
"Okay, everyone should work. They are more skillful. After all, they are in the city. If there are any clues left, they will make the owner embarrassed." The strong man in the lead waved his hand.
More than a dozen men in black behind him responded in a low voice. The two took out bright red dye and splashed it at the door of Hongchen Inn. Soon the bright red dye formed a few big words, "If you don't pay the debt, you will pay it with blood, - Blood Hand."
Below a few big characters, there is also a big blood handprint.
The strong man tilted his head, "You three guard the front door, you three guard the back door, and the others follow me in."
"Swoosh swish swish..."
Everyone jumped onto the wall and then fell down lightly, but no one noticed the black lines tied to the corners of the wall in the darkness.
It is not convenient to access the Internet recently, so the update is not very timely. I hope everyone will forgive me and I will go home tomorrow. I will finally be free to surf the Internet.
