"Eventually, I fainted on the side of the road hungry and woke up to this inn."

Sanniang said, looking up at the room, full of infinite emotion.

"It was Lao Yu who saved me, he inherited this inn from his father, there was only one façade at that time, there was no backyard, and there were only two rooms on it. Little by little, we managed it to what it is now. ”

"Lao Yu is a little disabled, but he has a good heart and treats me very well, he is sixteen years older than me. When I was seventeen years old, he said that he would prepare a dowry for me and find me a good man to marry me...... However, I can't do without him after all those years of getting along. It's just that he always felt that he had a disability and was not worthy of me, so he never refused. And I strongly disagree......"

When Sanniang said this, she smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes: "Don't you think it's incredible?" You also think I'm just doing that to repay my kindness? ”

Su Xin shook her head, did she look like such a superficial person?

Those "talented women" are just the world's wishful thinking prejudice against the so-called beautiful "love".

Su Xin still believes in two people who treat each other sincerely, and they fall in love over time.

"He was in his thirties and had never married a wife, so people said I was delaying. Actually, no, although getting married and having children is a very important thing in life, if two people don't even have a little relationship and don't have the same aspirations, it is impossible to come together. Even if they are together, they can't give each other happiness, so he resolutely refuses to get married... And we...... After all, it was no match for the rumors, so the two of us continued to open the store as brothers and sisters with different surnames, even if we were together for decades, one unmarried and the other unmarried, I never crossed that chasm. ”

When Su Xin heard this, he felt a little sad inexplicably.

"Ten years ago, a month before the fire broke out in Zhu Yuanwai's house, there was a man in his fifties who lived in our store, who knew that it was that night, and I don't know how, he actually ran to the backyard, jumped into the well and drowned."

"We were terrified because we were the only ones in the store that night, and when we hired a guy who said he had taken three days off for family business. There were no other guests staying either... People are still dying in the well in the backyard, we really can't argue...... So I proposed to bury him under a lute tree in the backyard. ”

"Well, I'll admit, I was a fool of money at the time...... The guest had brought a large package, a large bag of silver, and a black wooden box... I just want to keep it for myself. ”

"We took care of the man overnight, packed up everything in the room, and after a few days of panic, found that nothing was going on. We used the money to renovate the store and renovate it...... Gradually, this matter was put aside. ”

"It wasn't until a month later that a fire broke out in Yuanwaifu, which alarmed the whole city. Lao Yu is a good old man, and he is going to help put out the fire with a basin, and I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to enter the store, so I will stay and watch the inn. I waited and didn't sleep, it was almost early in the morning, and the guy came back, saying that the Yuanwaifu was completely burned down this time, and the people inside were really pitiful... None of them escaped, and were burned alive in their sleep. I listened to a sad and inexplicable fear in my heart. I asked her why Lao Yu hadn't come back yet? ”

The man looked at me with surprised eyes and said, "...... No, I didn't see it all the way...". I chuckled in my heart and exclaimed, "I saw him going out with you, and he was carrying the basin for washing vegetables, and he was following the ...... behind you."

When the guy heard me say that, he was scared enough, his body almost jumped up all of a sudden, he looked behind him in fear, and looked at me with strange eyes, "Sanniang, don't scare me, I really didn't see the master." If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Gui next door, I happened to meet him when I went out, and rushed to put out the fire... I don't really have anyone else. "I heard the guy say this, and I felt my head buzz, and somehow, all of a sudden, I remembered the guest who had inexplicably drilled into the well and drowned a month ago."

"I ran to the backyard like crazy, and then I saw... There is really a person in the well, it is Lao Yu! ……”

Sanniang's tears flowed silently.

Su Xin didn't know how to comfort him, so he added water to the other party's already empty cup.

After that incident, the man often said that he saw a man walking around the well. I asked him what the man looked like, and he described it as very similar to the man who had jumped into the well before. ”

When Sanniang said this, her body involuntarily trembled slightly.

"One last time, the guy went to the well...... At that time, I suddenly felt something around me, and I was confused, so I followed the sound to the backyard, and I saw that the guy was about to jump into the well... I was terrified and quickly screamed and pulled him back. ”

"The guy told me that he was cleaning things and then somehow, it was like there was someone next to him, and he kept talking to him about something... In short, it's the feeling of constantly whispering in your ear, but you don't know exactly what the other person is saying. Then the body involuntarily walked towards the well... When he regained consciousness, he had no idea what he had done. ”

"After that incident, the man fell ill, and it took a month of recuperation to slowly get better, but the man became very afraid and timid, and I was afraid that something would happen if I continued to stay, so I gave him double the amount of silver, so that he could buy a piece of land, marry a wife, and have children..."

"The business in the store is not as good as day by day, and then I invited a few more guys, but they can't do it for long, and they ask to leave after working for half a year at most......"

Su Xin suddenly thought of the shopkeeper and asked, "What about Ming Zai, how long has he been in the store?" ”

Sanniang said: "He has been here for two or three years, although the business in the store is cold, but there are still so many things to open every day, and thanks to him." ”

Su Xin didn't interject anymore, and Sanniang continued what she had just said, "...... The successive accidents in the city are all the kind of people who died inexplicably, and people are panicking. has changed the county lord of Qi for several terms, and then no one came here to take office. It wasn't until this Qi County Master came here that he was bent on getting the case out and trying to get people's lives up... It's a pity that no matter how conscientious he is, things are still going in a worse and worse direction..."

"Just some time ago, four more people died one after another, two of them were beggars from the city, one was a ruffian, and one was a stranger. The stranger had stayed with me for one night. That's why Lord Qi will find me..."
