Chapter 80: The Strange Old Shopkeeper
"How can you be sure it's the Corpse Lodge, where did you see it?" The monkey asked, puzzled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You see the whole village, except for the one with the white lantern, the rest of the houses are pitch black, and there is nothing peculiar about it."
"In addition, in ancient times, a white lantern would be hung outside the door of the corpse chaser inn, which could show the way to the corpse chaser, and secondly, it also had the meaning of attracting souls, so the white lantern was also called the Yin Soul Lamp, understand?" Yu Bing looked at the monkey seriously.
"Got it, let's go knock on the door now, shall we?" The monkey took the lead towards the house with the white lantern.
The night in Xiangxi is very quiet, especially in this era when there is no electricity, every night, almost every family closes their doors early and goes to bed, and few people walk around at night.
First, it was too dark, and secondly, it was not safe, in a place like Xiangxi, it was not uncommon for a zombie spirit or something to appear, so everyone tacitly closed the door early.
When a group of five people walked on the ancient bluestone slab, the sound of the shoes touching the ground and the sound of tapping naturally seemed unusually clear and harsh in this silent night.
As for the scene that happened after knocking on the door, that is what Fu Ji had just seen.
Besides, after Fu Ji took the antique copper coin, he looked at it carefully, and finally asked with a frown: "Are you from the Bai family?"
"That's right, grandpa, my name is Bai Yiyang, my grandfather is Bai Renshi, do you know him?" I looked at the old man with an innocent expression.
"Oh, you're the grandson of the Seventh?"
"Alas...... It seems that I am really old, I can't imagine that the grandson of the seventh child is so old in a blink of an eye, when I first saw the seventh child, he was still a young child, and he always followed his master carefully when he went out, that timid look, I still remember. ”
The old man looked up at the night sky again, and after a long time, he said faintly, "At that time, he was about the same age as you are now." The old man pointed at me as he spoke.
"So you know my grandfather, that's great, we want to spend the night here, can I ask?" I asked innocently.
"Of course, come in."
The old man hurriedly opened the wooden door and let us in.
But when Long Xueyan passed by him, I could clearly see that his brow was furrowed, and he didn't seem to welcome her.
After entering, the old man kindly beckoned us to sit down, and then went into the kitchen to pour water.
After waiting for the news of the old man's back at the kitchen door, Long Xueyan suddenly whispered and said indifferently: "This shop is weird, you should be careful." ”
Tianhong also echoed and said: "This shop is a bit weird, the yin here is very heavy, as if I haven't seen the sun for many years." ”
"The corpse inn shouldn't have seen the sunshine in the first place, otherwise those happy gods would collapse as soon as they met the sun, don't you understand this common sense?" The monkey looks like he is smart.
You don't understand, don't talk nonsense, how many years has the business of chasing corpses disappeared, where is there any joy in God. Besides, I think the atmosphere here is a bit weird, so you should be careful for a while. Tianhong continued to advise everyone.
"There shouldn't be a problem, I think he seems to be very familiar with Yiyang's grandfather, I believe he won't harm us." Yu Bing said with a serious face.
"Shhhh Don't talk, he's coming. Long Xueyan made a silent gesture towards everyone.
Sure enough, less than a moment after Long Xueyan finished speaking, the old man had already walked out of the kitchen with tea.
Before he got close to the table, he had already greeted loudly: "Come on, come on, I got you some tea, you have been on the road for so long, you should be more fortunate, let's drink some water first." ”
"Thank you, old man, I don't know what we should call you?" I asked politely.
"Oh, my name is Fu Ji, everyone calls me Fu Laosan, since you are the grandson of the seventh child, then if you don't dislike it, just call me the third grandfather." The old man smiled and introduced himself.
"Well, third grandfather, you are so good, I have to trouble you to bring us tea and pour water when you are old, I really don't want to go." I said seriously.
"Haha, it's worthy of being the grandson of the seventh child, and he understands things so well at a young age, but I'm very puzzled, why did you come to my corpse inn late at night to stay overnight?"
"Did your grandfather know you were out?" Fu Ji stared at me with a confused expression.
"Third grandfather, that's the case, we are ordered by grandpa and the village chief, I want to go to Chenzhou to do some things, and I am in a hurry, so I want to spend the night here tonight." I confessed to Fu Ji 1510, but for the matter of the old golden head, I only mentioned it at all, after all, my grandfather said that when I meet people and say three points, I can throw all my heart away.
"Chenzhou, it's nearly two hundred miles away from here, isn't it a little too dangerous for a few of you children to go on the road?" Fu Ji asked with concern.
"Now in broad daylight, we are not afraid." The monkey couldn't wait to answer.
"Oh, that's right, after all, you have a master." Saying that, Fu Ji glanced at Long Xueyan again, and the implication was that Long Xueyan was a master.
"Third grandfather, don't hide it, our friend ......."
I pointed to Long Xueyan and continued, "She is the legendary Yin Girl. ”
"Oh, I saw it for a long time, but why did you tell me?" Fu Ji looked at me puzzled.
"That's right, she has a lot of mud on her body, and she hasn't taken a bath for a long time, I want you to boil some water for him, find another set of clean clothes, and let her change it, is that okay?" I looked at the old man with big eyes flashing and an innocent expression.
"Well, yes, she is dressed now, and it is indeed a little too eye-catching, but the matter of taking a bath can be slowed down, have you had dinner after a day's journey?" The old man looked around at us all with concern.
"Not yet, Third Grandpa, can you find something to eat for us to fill our stomachs? Since I left home, I haven't had enough food for several meals. The monkey grumbled.
"No problem, when you come to me, you are my guests, not to mention that I and Lao Qi are still old friends for many years, and his grandson is my grandson, so you don't have to be polite to me, I'll go get you food." Fu Ji looked at me lovingly.
"Thank you, Third Grandpa, why don't we go and help you make a fire and cook, we will cook too." Yu Bing said to Fu Ji obediently and sensibly.
"Oh, thank you, little girl, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a master of Gu poison, right?" Fu Ji asked with a light smile.
