Chapter 29 Are You Here?
The town was not far away. Three people and one cat drove a horse and arrived before midnight. Then, under the guidance of Hong Ni, they followed the example of ordinary people and saw a store with an inn flag hanging at the door. They got off the car and went up to knock on the door to ask for help.
Accommodation.
When the waiter on night duty saw a guest staying overnight, he hurriedly came to answer the call.
After removing the door panel and holding up a lamp, he saw the three people were dressed in fresh clothes and looked pretty and looked like they were young and easy to bully. He immediately welcomed them in with smiles on their faces.
Then, without paying attention to the three people's specific accommodation requirements, he asked directly: "How many guests do you want two upper rooms or three?"
Mo Ran, who was leaning against Luochen, knew a lot about the world and refused to show his timidity. He didn't care about the upper and lower rooms. He just pretended to wave his hand and said: "Just three rooms, they are more spacious and comfortable!"
"Oh, okay! Three bedrooms!" Seeing that the other party didn't pay attention to his words and tricks, the waiter immediately smiled even more. He agreed repeatedly and turned to go behind the counter, took the key and quickly turned it out, and then
Then he bowed and stretched out his hands towards the three fairies without saying a word or moving.
Luochen and others looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond for a long time, the waiter raised his eyelids to look at the three of them, then raised his hand again.
As a result, the three fairies still didn't understand its meaning.
The waiter finally couldn't bear it any longer, coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Our store only makes a small profit, if it's convenient for you..."
Hearing this, Xiao Liu'er tugged at Hong Ni's trouser legs and waved his paws a few times.
Hong Ni blinked his eyes and felt relieved. He smiled and patted his head while Luochen and Mo Ran still looked at him blankly. Then he groped around on his body and took out a gold ingot and handed it over.
When the waiter saw the gold ingot, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly reached out to pick it up. Unexpectedly, the shining treasure only flashed under his nose for a moment, and then was swished by another one.
His hand was taken away.
The one who stole the gold ingot was Luochen, who was secretly arguing with Hongni with his eyes.
Luochen: The god forbids the indiscriminate use of magic, why don't you listen? You even turned it into a gold nugget to trick others!
Hong Ni: What should I do? To walk in this world, you don’t need any money. Do you have any? Besides, that is the precious wine that I would not use much at home. If I give him ten gold coins, he will not be able to exchange it.
This great immortal is still at a loss!
Luochen: Then just tell him honestly. Why do you want to change your appearance for him?
Hong Ni rolled his eyes: Then try it yourself!
Luochen then took out a bottle of leftover elixir from his body to heal his wounds and handed it to the waiter.
The waiter saw that a large gold ingot was suddenly replaced by a small porcelain bottle. He was stunned for a moment, then pointed to his other hand and said with a smile: "Young master, you should keep your good things for yourself.
As long as it's small, that's all."
Luochen was also startled when he heard this. He thought to himself, this mortal is really strange, why he doesn't even want the elixir from Taiweiting, but only wants the gold and stone that no one cares about?
Mo Ran looked on in confusion, and when he saw Xiao Liu'er rolling on the floor with laughter, he asked him.
Xiao Liu'er jumped on her shoulder and whispered quietly: "There is a saying among mortals, 'You want money but not your life'; it's different from us. And among this money, gold is only valuable. So, of course it is Master Tao's gold ingot."
Much more attractive than a dusty panacea."
"So that's it!" Mo Ran suddenly realized, and said depressedly, "Then what should we do now? We don't have gold and stones, and the gods won't let us use immortal magic, let alone deceive others. This person doesn't care about our things, so then
Can't you stay in this inn?"
Little Liu'er licked her paws but didn't answer. There were a lot of gold stones and gold sand on the Huaijiang Mountain, and she could easily dig out a few piles of them. But she was far away at the moment, so she was too lazy to ask for trouble.
Hong Ni rolled his eyes and already had an idea. He winked at Luochen, pulled Mo Ran and Xiao Liu'er along, and turned around to leave the inn.
Seeing that the ingot of gold was about to "fly", the waiter hurriedly chased him out the door, calling anxiously: "My guest, please don't leave! My guest, please don't leave! I won't pay until I leave tomorrow!"
After chasing him outside the door, he saw a carriage parked not far in front of the door. Two people were standing under the car, while another person and a cat climbed on the roof of the car and began to toss. After a closer look, the person who was tossing was actually
A coffin!
Hong Ni was holding up the driver's body and groping up and down, while still having a leisurely conversation with Xiao Liu'er.
"There are no scars on his body like a sharp weapon. It's not like someone who died in a robbery. There must be some scattered silver left. Anyway, we won't need it right now, so let's borrow it for an emergency."
"Well, it's the same thing if you borrow it and pay it back later. Oh, there's no point in giving it to him. Let's give it to his family."
"Well, when the time comes, I will add a few more gold stones as compensation, which will be considered a small gesture."
Luochen stood with Mo Ran under the car. Just as he was about to tell Hong Ni to be careful not to hurt the driver's body, he heard a loud bang behind him and the door of the inn was slammed shut.
When the waiter came out and saw that scene, how could he dare to think about gold? He was frightened to death. He immediately turned around and ran away. He stumbled back and immediately closed the door and locked the door, not daring to express his anger.
After a long time, I remembered that they had shadows under the lamp, and I couldn't help stroking my chest and laughing at myself, and regretted that I had bumped into the guests. After thinking about it again, I did hear the black cat speak, but I still felt weird.
In the end, I couldn't hold back my fear. I stopped thinking about being a money fan, turned on the lamp, and shivered to the backyard of the inn to hide under the quilt.
The few people outside were first shocked by the sound of the door closing, and then the lights went out, so they had no choice but to start again.
Passing through the town, I happened to see a City God's Temple on the road. Hong Ni was more thoughtful, and he discussed with Luochen and Mo Ran: "I see that these mortals are very taboo about their dead similar people. It's better to park the car here and walk on foot."
How about going forward? There should be another inn not too far away."
"Well, we won't be able to find his family for a while, so we might as well find a place to park him first."
Hongni saw that Luochen had no objection, so he drove the car into the City God's Temple.
The small temple in the small town does not have those majestic buildings, but a simple mountain gate and archway. Inside is the main hall and several wing rooms, which can be seen at a glance. Only the mottled paint marks on the beams and columns show a sense of vicissitudes of time.
Several people drove in and found a cornice to use as a temporary stable.
While setting up the carriage, Luochen looked up and saw the four words "Are you here" written on the plaque in front of him. He found it interesting and walked into the main hall.
After entering, I realized that they were just ordinary clay and wood sculptures of city gods, judges, and imps. I stood in front of the door and glanced around. I felt bored, but I vaguely heard some rustling sounds behind the clay sculptures above.
, as if someone was whispering.
Luochen was confused and subconsciously raised his legs and took two steps forward. He wanted to listen carefully to distinguish, but unexpectedly the sound stopped suddenly and there was no movement.
"I was also a little distracted by the commotion." Luochen muttered to himself, turned around and prepared to leave.
