Chapter 186 Halfling(1/3)
The handyman girl still looked dull, and Yan Yan didn't even say thank you after rescuing her.
Only then did the head cook speak up and ask the handyman girl to bring the food out.
"That girl is so rude. I saved her without saying thank you." Xu Yu curled his lips and looked at the back of the handyman girl with dissatisfaction.
Yan Yan returned to the table and sat down, his expression unchanged.
"Master Ghost King, aren't you angry?" Xu Yu felt strange.
It was the same before when it was arrogant in front of Yan Yan, and it was also the case when the handyman girl didn't appreciate it this time. Wouldn't she be angry?
"Angry?" Yan Yan raised his eyebrows, "I think it's excusable."
"Ah?" Xu Yu still looked puzzled.
What are extenuating circumstances? Does it mean that the handyman girl is ungrateful?
Back in the wing, Bai Zhu asked her what she had just discovered in the hall.
Yan Yan said calmly: "I smell a smell of blood. It must have been on the clothes of that handyman girl."
"The smell of blood? The blood of chickens, ducks and geese?" Xu Yu asked blankly.
Yan Yan glanced at it, "Do I need to talk about the blood on chickens, ducks and geese?"
Xu Yu took a breath and said, "That girl doesn't look like such a cruel person."
Yan Yan curled his lips: "It's not the first time this kind of thing happened today. She only has two old people around her, but she can still live well. Doesn't it mean something is wrong?"
Walking on the tip of a knife will hurt even if there is no blood. If there is neither, then it is the person holding the knife.
Yan Yan had never slept on a kang before, and the hardest place she had ever slept on was the dead tree in her backyard.
But this kang is obviously a serious bed. After lying on it for a while, I felt uncomfortable, as if I was sleeping on a piece of ice.
She slept in an ice cellar after her death, but that feeling was better than this kang.
When she woke up last night, she felt pain all over her body. She slept directly on the locked wooden cabinet tonight.
Bai Zhu never lies on the kang, he only sits on the kang with his back against the wall.
Yan Yan was very curious as to why his clothes were not dirty even though his back was leaning against the wall.
After thinking about it, Yan Yan fell asleep lying on the wooden cabinet.
In a daze, I suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.
She thought she smelled it on the handyman girl during the day and recalled it in her sleep.
He changed his position and continued to sleep.
But the strong smell of blood made people feel nauseous as they breathed in. Yan Yan closed his eyes, frowned, and began to hold his breath.
Even if I suffocate to death, I don’t want to smell the unpleasant smell.
The sense of smell is no longer working, and the hearing becomes extremely sharp.
"Giggle——"
In the wooden cabinet where her head was resting, there was a sound like someone slowly scratching the wooden board with their nails.
"Hey——"
"Hey——"
The sound was so long that it sounded like his heart was being pinched, making people suffocate.
Yan Yan opened his eyes impatiently and happened to look at Bai Zhu who was sitting on the kang.
Bai Zhu nodded slightly at her.
It seemed that the sound she heard was not fake, and the smell of blood that had been lingering was not fake either.
Yan Yan turned his head and put his ear against the wooden cabinet to listen.
After listening for a long time, I couldn't tell what was going on inside.
If it was a ghost, Yan Yan would have known about it for a long time, but if it was a human being, why didn't it make a sound if it could move?
——!
The sound stopped suddenly, as if what Yan Yan had just heard was an auditory hallucination.
After the sound disappeared, the smell of blood gradually faded away.
Yan Yan snapped his fingers, and the Xu Yu kid appeared.
She pointed at the wooden cabinet and motioned Xu Yu to go in and take a look.
Xu Yu leaned half of his body out of the wooden cabinet, then crawled inside, and suddenly floated out from inside.
"There is a passage in the wooden cabinet. There seems to be a formation in the passage. The formation is used to suppress the evil ghosts."
Fortunately, Xu Yu floated out immediately when he discovered it, otherwise it would have been suppressed inside.
"Then let me go in and take a look." Yan Yan turned over and got off the wooden cabinet.
Just when he was about to split the lock on it with a palm, there was a movement outside.
It was the shop owner's family of three who went to work in the hall.
The side room on Yan's side is right next to the well, and the sound of the handyman girl fetching water can be heard outside.
She raised her head and could see into the wing from the window.
Yan Yan gave up and continued sleeping on the wooden cabinet.
After dawn, when he went to the hall and left the wing, Yan Yan looked at the opposite wing strangely.
At meal time, there were only two people, Yan Yan and Bai Zhu, and other pedestrians who came to the inn to eat.
"Have the group of people who stayed with us left?" When the food was being served, Yan Yan stopped the handyman girl and asked.
The handyman girl nodded: "I left early in the morning."
"Why didn't I hear anything?" Yan Yan asked, looking at the handyman girl.
The handyman girl still looked dull, lowering her head and saying nothing.
With this look, it seemed to others that Yan Yan was bullying her.
There was a table of guests in the hall. He was sitting on a stool and said sarcastically: "Some people look like they come from a good family. Who knew they would bully young girls when they come out?"
Bai Zhu glanced at the people at the table and said calmly: "Some people are indiscriminate and speak out, seemingly seeking justice for others, but in fact they don't even have the guts to confront a girl."
If you really want to seek justice for the handyman girl, if you have the ability, you can come face to face with Yan Yan, who will act like a coward on the sidelines.
Yan Yan glanced at the table coldly, stretched out his hand and patted Bai Zhu's hand smoothly: "I don't take this kind of person seriously at all."
I don't know if they were stimulated by Yan Yan and Bai Zhu's words, but the group actually stayed in the inn that night.
When returning to the room, Yan Yan happened to go to the backyard with the group of people.
She thought for a while and saw that the three members of the family in the inn were busy, so she whispered: "Hey, you are so brave, how dare you stay in an inn?"
One of the people in the group gritted his teeth and was about to retort when Yan Yan said first: "This inn can eat people."
After saying that, without waiting for their reaction, he turned around and went back to the wing, slamming the door with a loud bang.
"I gave them a kind reminder." Yan Yan shrugged at Bai Zhu.
Bai Zhu was sitting on the kang, and he could see the hall from his position.
Yan Yan came to the wooden cabinet and took off the hairpin on his head, trying to see if he could open the lock on the wooden cabinet.
Suddenly, she found something on the lock and tied the hairpin back on her head.
The vicious force of her hand seemed to make her angry because of this discovery.
Bai Zhu looked over and his eyes fell on the hairpin in Yan Yan's bun: "Did you just find out now that the lock is fake?"
Yan Yan gritted his teeth.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she really just discovered it now.
The lock is not actually fake, it’s just that there is only one door with a padlock hook on the wooden cabinet door.
What's the use of just locking a door? It opens when you pull it.
But when Yan Yan reached out to pull it, the cabinet door didn't move.
Let Xu Yu poke his head in again and take a look.
"There is a lock inside. I didn't see it at night." Xu Yu looked at it carefully, "The lock inside is real."
Yan Yan waved his hands impatiently, "Okay, okay, how can there be so many fake locks?"
On the first night they lived here, Yan Yan didn't hear any noise while he was sleeping.
She thought that after there was some movement last night, it would quiet down for a while tonight.
But this time, she didn't even fall asleep. As soon as she lay down on the wooden cabinet, she heard the same sound as last night.
Yan Yu motioned Xu Yu to poke his head in and take a look.
