Chapter 75: Sir, I’m in a hurry!
Shen Xisheng’s self-confidence is not groundless, it is also based on many considerations.
As far as the result of their running all the way before, there are many things that they don't need to touch at all, they will take the initiative to bump into them.
And the situation of this small town is not difficult for people to make a reasonable guess:
Since the town has been in a state without young people, will there be some kind of power to correct it after outsiders like them break this state?
No matter what it is, it must take action to achieve its goal. Even weird and unreasonable things have certain rules to follow, let alone other things.
Therefore, Shen Xisheng's idea of stopping by calmness is actually very reasonable. They only need to eat well, drink well and wait for the rabbit. They don't need to think so much at all.
In the unlikely event that they succeed, all they need to worry about is whether they can handle the trouble they find with their strength, that's all.
After listening to Shen Xisheng's explanation, Li Jian also came to a realization. Brother Xisheng was still thoughtful. Our countermeasure is to just show off!
So the two simply went back to their room, chatting from time to time, and the things in the town seemed to be forgotten by them.
Time flew by at night. After putting the girls to sleep, Shen Xisheng and Li Jian guarded a room to see if anything could be delivered to their door.
In the dark night, a vague figure sneaked up the stairs of the inn, and a pungent smell of blood also emanated from its body.
This figure quietly arrived outside the room where Shen Xisheng and others were.
After confirming that there seemed to be no other movement in the room, the black shadow slowly raised his arm and made a gesture to attack the door.
"Uncle, why are you up in the middle of the night and coming to our room? Don't you dare to go to the latrine alone to come to us to accompany you?"
At this moment, a slightly lazy voice sounded from behind the black shadow, which frightened the black shadow so much that his hands trembled, and finally the black shadow leaned directly against the door.
Shen Xisheng just watched the old man who was running the inn leaning against the door with a guilty conscience, feeling speechless in his heart.
I see that you have difficulty walking even in broad daylight, but your skills of doing things secretly at night are not too slow. Is it because of the dark moon and the high wind that there is a movement buff or something?
"Brother Xisheng, why are you talking so much nonsense with this guy? If you just arrest him and torture him, you'll find out everything."
Li Jian came out from the side and interrupted, almost scaring the old man's soul away. Why is there still someone squatting here?
Regarding Li Jian's suggestion, Shen Xisheng waved his hand and replied:
"Listen to me and don't worry. I don't think this man wants to do anything cruel to us.
After all, he just dipped his hands in pig's blood, so it seems he can't do anything too dangerous, unless he is a monk."
But he had already used his ability to "see the smallest details" to see through the opponent's background. This uncle is just an ordinary person.
The old man just listened to the words of the other two that he had become an easy prey, and his mentality collapsed:
"You two, I really don't mean to harm you, I just want you to get out of here."
After hearing this, Li Jian took the lead and walked forward to ask:
"If you want us to leave, just say no and that's it. You could just refuse us when we stayed in the hotel before.
Why are you so sneaky and using shameful means like now?"
The old man was not polite and responded directly:
"I'm an old man looking after the store. What if you just force your way in after I refuse directly? I can't stand your troubles.
It’s not like I haven’t tried to persuade outsiders to come here before, but no one listened to me. They even asked me not to toast, not to eat, and to be punished with alcohol. What can I do?”
What the old man said was very reasonable. After hearing this, Li Jian asked again:
"Isn't an inn just for people to pay money to stay in? You didn't intend to hurt anyone, but it doesn't make sense to drive the guests away. How can you do this kind of business?"
"I...I can't explain it to you. Anyway, it's best for young people in this town not to stay and leave as soon as possible before anything happens."
As soon as the old man said these words, Li Jian and Shen Xisheng couldn't help but look at each other. Sure enough, it had something to do with the inside story in the town.
"Uncle, can't you tell us what's going on in this town?"
Facing Li Jian's question, the old man sighed helplessly and shook his head:
"Young man, do you know that curiosity kills the cat? There are some things you can't ask about. Don't expect me to tell you. I don't want to die now."
If you say it you will lose your head, is that serious?
When Shen Xisheng saw that the old man didn't speak, he frowned. It looked more like a man-made disaster than a natural disaster. The other party must have been threatened.
"Then uncle, if you let us leave here just like that, won't something happen to you?"
"Something will happen to us here, it's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time. You can't leave even if you want to. It's a shame to let you outsiders take power."
The old man has resigned himself to his fate, but he still wants to struggle to live a little longer, even for one day.
"Okay, we understand what you mean, uncle."
Knowing that the other party would not speak anyway, Shen Xisheng also gave up the idea of letting Li Jian continue to ask, and spoke to the old man.
When the old man heard this, he thought he had finally persuaded a few people and said quickly:
"You run away quickly. Run now. There is still some dry food in the inn for you. You will be fine if you run far away."
Unexpectedly, Shen Xisheng went on to say:
"No, we're not leaving. I want to see what kind of thing in your town is so capable. You have to see it with your own eyes."
The uncle's mood rose and fell with Shen Xisheng's words, and he persuaded him earnestly:
"You, why don't you listen to the old man's advice? How can I still lie to you when I've already got half my foot in the coffin? Young people shouldn't be too arrogant, as they can easily suffer losses."
"Can you still call yourself a young man if you are not full of energy?"
Li Jian retorted subconsciously, but then he thought quickly in his mind:
In fact, according to the age of mortals, Brother Xisheng and I are not much younger than the old man in front of us.
Young people should not be too arrogant. Then the actor brother and I are not young enough, right?
Thinking of this, Li Jian said another sentence:
"Actually, you may not be that old, and we may not be that young. We may all be the same."
Uncle:???
What nonsense are you talking about? Are young people outside now reading enough to have brain problems?
"Uncle, I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet. We have our own ways. You don't have to worry about us anymore."
