"Xun Yi, Xun Yi, wake up...... Wake up. ”

In a daze, Xun Yi heard someone calling him. When I opened my eyes, I saw Liu Zhenying grabbing him and shaking.

Seeing Xun Yi wake up, Liu Zhenying breathed a sigh of relief: "You can be regarded as waking up." ”

"Where is this?"

"I don't know. Liu Zhenying rushed to Guangyao Mountain, just in time to see Xun Yi and many other people invited to Guangyao Mountain by some black sedan chairs.

Because he was a step late, he watched Xun Yi enter an inn.

After wandering outside for a while, I saw a sedan chair entering the inn from time to time, so I replaced one of them and followed in.

He woke up the first and saw that in addition to the two of them, there were many people in a coma around him, and when he stepped forward to wake up Xun Yi, many people woke up slowly.

"Where is this?" a fat rich merchant dressed in gold and silver got up, leaned against the pillar and looked at everyone vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"This is ......," a woman dressed as a seamstress slowly rose from the ground.

"You guys tied me up?" the rough man scolded and yelled at everyone.

"Husband, I'm afraid. ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything has me. ”

It's a couple.

Liu Zhenying looked around, plus himself and Xun Yi, a total of eleven people. The two of them were dressed as scholars, while the others included tailors, wealthy merchants, carpenters, cooks, shopkeepers, and others.

"Master Liu?" Suddenly, Liu Zhenying heard Xun Yi muttering and saw a certain cook who got up. Isn't that person the famous chef of Tianxianglou who just disappeared in the past two days?

"Let's calm down. At this time, a middle-aged man spoke: "I woke up with this little brother the earliest and exchanged information. Everyone seems to have fallen into this place unintentionally? I'm the shopkeeper of the Yingxian Pavilion in Qinglong City, Xun Dashao should know him, right?"

Xun Yi nodded: "Yes." I can see a lot of acquaintances here. Master Liu of Tianxiang Building, Duan Shopkeeper of Yingxian Pavilion. and my classmate Liu Zhenying. How did you all get together?"

Xun Yi looked like he didn't know what was going on.

Shopkeeper Duan spread his hands: "It's not clear below, but seeing each other is fate, you might as well introduce yourself?

"I'll do it first. Xun Yi took over the conversation: "Xun Yi, a member of the Xun family in Baishan." ”

Liu Zhenying, a student of Lingfeng Academy. Liu Zhenying's expression was faint, wary of these people.

"My surname is Li, and everyone calls me Li Carpenter. The rough man touched his bald head and said with a big grin.

"Julai. A businessman who runs a business. The fat rich merchant carefully took off all the gold and silver rings in his hand, his eyes dripping, and he leaned towards the door without a trace.

"Villain Feng Xiaogui, I have seen all the guest officers. A young man dressed as a shopkeeper bowed to everyone and livened up the atmosphere: "I work in Pudezhuang, you can come to us to have a look when you have time in the future." Flying in the sky, running underground, as long as there are things in the world, we have them in Pudezhuang. Xiao Er did not forget to advertise his own publicity, and by the way, he brought up the atmosphere.

"Under Xu Liang. This is the inner man Lu Lan, the two of us went home to visit relatives, and the path inn rested, but I woke up here as soon as I woke up. "The couple stood together. The woman hugged her husband and trembled.

"I'm the chef of Tianxiang Building. Xun Dashao should also know. ”

"Hmm. Xun Yi testified again, he knew a lot of these people present.

"Master Qin, I didn't expect you to be here. Xun Yi said to the female tailor who woke up last.

The female tailor was a skillful hand in Xunjia Buzhuang.

"Concubine Qin Yue. I've seen you. Qin Yue was quite attractive, and after saying hello, she cautiously avoided everyone. Seek refuge on the other side of Xunyi.

"Well, in the end, you're the only one left. Shopkeeper Duan looked at the last person. It was a farmer. Tall and thin, silent and honest, silent and silent.

"My surname is Tao, I don't have a name, others call me Tao Boss. ”

Eleven people exchanged their names, and the shopkeeper Duan said, "Next, everyone is divided into groups, why don't you take a look at the surrounding environment first?"

A few people only stayed in the lobby, and it was not clear what the surrounding environment was like.

"I'm in a group with Xun Yi. Liu Zhenying was the first to speak, and when she saw Qin Yue grabbing Xun Yi's sleeve, she had no choice but to say, "Plus Miss Qin." ”

Xu Liang immediately said: "I'm with my insider." ”

"The two of them are not safe, so let's do it, Brother Feng Xiaogui and I will accompany Xu Liang and his wife. Shopkeeper Duan groaned: "As for the remaining four people to form a team, let's take a look at the surrounding environment first, I vaguely have a bad guess." ”

After everyone deliberated, they explored their way in this strange realm.

Xun Yi and the three of them walked up the stairs next to the lobby and saw houses on both sides of the corridor on the second floor, with the names of Xun Yi and others written on them. Eleven people, a total of eleven rooms.

"Is this an inn?" Xun Yi stood at the entrance of the second floor, looking at the place where everyone woke up on the first floor, was it the lobby for dinner?

"Inn?" Qin Yue's expression was wrong, vaguely thinking of a story she had heard not long ago, her body trembled a little, and she subconsciously approached Xun Yi.

"Xun Yi, go down first. Liu Zhenying pulled the two apart without a trace, alerting to all the movements around him: "Go and meet the people below." ”

The three of them went downstairs, and at this time they met the shopkeeper Duan and his group of four.

Shopkeeper Duan had a gloomy face: "Xun Dashao, have you heard the story of the night thief?"

"Night thief?" Xun Yi was stunned and hesitated: "Is it the night thief who killed people in the inn?"

"Yes, just now we went to the door with the Xu brothers and his wife to take a look, and there was an old acacia weeping willow at the door. ”

The bright gate leads the guests, and the return road is peaceful.

Xun Yi suddenly remembered the story he bought not long ago. Didn't that story happen at the inn?

"Not necessarily, right?" Qin Yue was apprehensive: "Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

"The gate won't open, and I just tried to climb over the wall, and I jumped out and landed in the backyard immediately. I tried several times, but I couldn't get out of the wall. Feng Xiaogui shook his head: "It's the same as that legend." ”

"You all know that folk tale?" Liu Zhenying vaguely thought of something, could it be that all these people who were invited had heard this story?

"Well, I asked just now, and the Xu brothers happened to hear this story yesterday, and they still remember it vividly. Shopkeeper Duan's face was not good: "It seems that the inn is not running." ”

Liu Zhenying listened to the conversation of several people and roughly figured out the story.

It's roughly the story of the night thief in Lushan County who killed someone in an inn last year and finally killed everyone in the inn. In particular, Xun Yi read a sentence: "Mingmen leads guests, and the way back is peaceful."

Liu Zhenying remembered the couplet he saw at the door, and was worried: "This is a ghost house?"

"Come and see!" shouted from the kitchen, and everyone ran to the backyard.

The courtyard was yellow, Xun Yi glanced at it and saw the money tree standing in the courtyard. The money tree bears a lot of fruit like copper coins. A cool breeze blew, and the leaves rustled.

Look at the sky again, the remnant sun is like blood, the image of the end of the twilight.

Walking into the kitchen, I saw Liu Xu, Zhu Lai, Li Carpenter, and Tao Boss rummaging through the kitchen and putting out all kinds of melons and fruits.

Tao Boss said: "I know the season of these melons and fruits very well in farming, and these autumn beans and September lotus roots should not be in this season." ”

"That's right, it's just the beginning of autumn. It is impossible for the inn restaurant to buy these ingredients. "As a master, Liu Wei has a say in this regard.

"According to these clues, the current time is late autumn?" Duan's shopkeeper said loudly: "It's not August before I go to bed!"

"That's right, it's just over the summer. Xun Yi pinched his hair: "How can it be late autumn so soon? And I just went to bed to rest, why is it suddenly dusk?"

"But these fruits and vegetables are all products of late autumn. ”

"Maybe it's early?" Xun Yi guessed: "Our family sometimes ripens, and we can eat the autumn fruits in the summer." ”

"But that's the way it is. How could a mere inn be like this? And have you seen the lawn around it? It's already barren grass and dry land, and it's a late autumn scene. ”

Referring to this, Shopkeeper Duan thought of the locust willow at the door, and the bare branches undoubtedly indicated that it was already late autumn: "Then you say, have we slept here for two months?"

"It may not have been two months of sleep, or it may have been that we have gone back in time, to the time when the night thieves killed people in the inn. Qin Yue opened her mouth faintly, accompanied by a cool breeze, and everyone's hearts were terrified.

Oooo

There was a sudden sound of a bell in front of them, and everyone hurried back to the lobby, only to see that the lobby had completely changed. In the center is a round table with a large black clock on it.

"What's the matter, there are people besides us?" Carpenter Li said in surprise, "Which of you did this?"

"We were all in the kitchen just now, how could it be us?" Xun Yi frowned and stepped forward to check the big clock. "This bell is the Da Lu bell, something that is usually used to ring the bell. ”

Suddenly, a shrill laugh echoed in the inn.

"I'm sure you've found out. You people travel back in time to an inn in late autumn last year. A murder occurred in this inn. ”

Everyone's faces were wrong, and it was obvious that they thought of the story they had heard.

"Time and space?" Xun Yi shook his head and vetoed: "What kind of supernatural power does it take to travel through time and space? Who are you? I believe that even the gods can't travel through the entire time and space and send us people to the past!"

"But that's the case, you can see the melons and fruits in the kitchen, and those are the ingredients that the inn bought in late autumn. And now it's time for the Night Thieves to infiltrate the inn. And the two night thieves are among you, and the two catchers are among you. Go to your room and you'll know everything.
