After nightfall, the inn turned on the lights, leaving a faint light on the dark streets.
The guests of the inn came down to eat one after another. Some of the guests did not intend to eat, but after hearing that Yu Sheng was cooking in person, they were still tempted by greed.
I did this for the rest of my life not only to prevent poisoning, but also to compensate the guests, so as to prevent the inn's reputation from falling into the bottom.
Not only did Yu Sheng cook the food himself, but strangely enough, Hu Muyuan, Ye Zigao and others also strictly guarded the cooking from the well water to the cooking, and finally let Qiuqiu taste it himself before serving it to the table.
As a result, the fourth sister naturally had no idea what to do, and most of her energy was focused on the meal in front of her.
She even felt a little regretful that she would never be able to taste such delicious food for the rest of her life, but who made them professional killers?
After worrying for a while, the other guests finally opened their bellies to eat after seeing that everyone was fine. Finally, they couldn't eat any more, so they all went upstairs to rest with their big bellies.
Yu Sheng and the others stayed at the end to eat. After the meal, while Guai Zai and Hu Muyuan were cleaning up the kitchen, Yu Sheng had a few drinks with the God of Agriculture who came over.
Feng'er was there, and Cao'er's men Grass Ghost and Gourd Ghost were also there, but the three Water Ghost sisters were missing, making the nonsense a little less lively in the middle of the night.
Yu Sheng told the God of Agriculture about the poisoning incident at the inn during the day, but unfortunately the God of Agriculture had no choice but to rely on Yu Sheng to find the murderer himself.
The hotel lobby is as bright as a bean.
"Don't let me catch the poisoner. If I catch him, I have to feed him the poison and taste it in his own mouth." Yu Sheng slapped the table and said angrily.
"Yes, poison him, resurrect him and then poison him. You don't even know whose territory this is. Don't you know the king's law?" Feng'er followed and patted the table.
As she said this, she turned around and saw a big ghost standing at the wooden staircase, looking timidly. Feng'er waved enthusiastically, "Come on, come on, come and sit."
The God of Agriculture also saw him and asked Yu Sheng who it was. Yu Sheng said: "A guest brought him here, and he followed her every step of the day."
After hesitating for a long time, the big-headed ghost came over, took a stool from the straw ghost and sat down next to the gourd ghost.
Yu Sheng bought him a pair of chopsticks and a glass of wine, "Brother, where did you come from? Why do you follow that person in the house all day long? Do you have a grudge against her?"
"It's true." The big-headed ghost said this and lowered his head to look at the wine glass, ignoring Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng didn't take it seriously. The big-headed ghost had been in the inn for many days. Except for the drunken Yu Sheng who said "thank you" when toasting to him, the big-headed ghost never spoke to him again.
Feng'er chattered endlessly, but it was just useless words and it was too annoying.
After chatting for another half-quarter of an hour, the nonsense was gone.
Yu Sheng packed up the cups and plates and was about to go upstairs, when he saw Ye Zigao, who had just been guarding the lobby, kitchen and backyard, go upstairs to call Fu Nan down.
Now it's Fu Nan Station's turn to work in the middle of the night.
However, when Yu Sheng saw that he was dazed, he warned him: "Keep an eye on him, don't fall asleep, and don't let anyone take advantage of him."
"Don't worry, shopkeeper." Fu Nan yawned, "I really can't hold on and want to sleep, and I will turn a blind eye..."
"Huh?" Yu Sheng interrupted him, why did his words sound so awkward?
"I really turned a blind eye. It's not what you think. Shopkeeper, don't worry." Fu Nan patted his chest and sat on the stool at the door.
"Okay, then I'll believe you for once." Yu Sheng said and led the dog upstairs to rest. Along with him was the little white fox, who was currently living in Cao'er's room.
Seeing that everyone had gone, Fu Nan went to the counter to get himself a glass of wine and a plate of cold pork head, crossed his legs, drank the wine, and hummed, not to mention how comfortable he was.
He thought it would be good to spend the whole night like this, but not long after this thought disappeared, a heavy sleepiness rushed towards him.
At first, Fu Nan persisted, but later he couldn't stand the temptation of sleepiness, so he muttered: "Then really just turn a blind eye."
This doesn't mean you have betrayed the shopkeeper's trust.
There are still clouds in the sky.
The night was dark and windy, and occasionally the wind howled by. The tide in the lake rose and fell, accompanied by the chirping of insects. Many people fell asleep, and the inn soon became quiet.
But there are also people who can’t sleep.
The man in the woodshed kicked the old man who had been guarding him, "It's so late, why hasn't anyone brought us food?"
"It's great that I don't want to eat you, but I will give you food?" The male sheep turned over and said boredly.
A hint of cunning flashed in the man's eyes, and he said: "Even if you don't give it to me, I have to give it to you. You are one of theirs now."
That's right! Old Ghost Gongyang stood up and poked his head out from the door of the woodshed. He saw that all the lights in the inn had been extinguished and his food could not come.
"Did you see it? Did you see it?" The man was a little happy, "I never treat you as my friend. You are working hard here in vain."
"I am still worthy of your reliance. Think about it carefully. When have I ever treated you badly? The money I earned is only 50%." The man said.
"The money I earned was the money I got from cheating." Old Gongyang said, "I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person."
"What a good guy, you are a ghost." The man said angrily.
He saw the old ghost Gongyang rolling up his dead sheep eyes, and knowing that he was angry, he quickly changed his tone and said, "My fault, my fault, you were also a decent person when you were alive."
Only then did the old man Gongyang put down his eyes.
"But, decent man, do you really think that the people in the inn are good people, and you want to follow them in the future?" The man quietly observed Gong Yang while speaking.
"Look at this inn. There are no lights on in the middle of the night, and there are people locked up in the woodshed. It looks like a shady inn."
"Also, during the day, the little girl used her power to bully others, taking off women's clothes in front of us, playing with hidden places, and insulting good women. You also saw it."
Seeing that Gongyang's expression had softened, the man continued: "The entire inn turned a deaf ear to the woman's cries for help. Do you really want to stay here and help the evildoer?"
Old Ghost Gongyang was not familiar with the people in the inn, and now he has completely switched sides, "I want to leave too, but look at the grass above my head, I can't escape."
"Why can't you escape? Aren't you just a piece of grass?" the man said.
"Listen to what the little girl said, she snaps her fingers, and under the constraints of the grass above my head, I have to go back to her no matter where I am, otherwise I will have an unbearable headache."
"Have you tried it?" Hanzi asked. Seeing Lao Guiyang shaking his head, the man slapped his thigh and said, "Look, this is most likely because she is scaring you, in order to prevent you from running away."
"Really?" Old Ghost Gongyang felt that he did not rule out this possibility.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out if we try it?" Hanzi said, "In this case, you can untie me and I'll take you out."
"If you really have a unbearable headache, then we will come back, but I think nine out of ten of them are lies to you." The man said.
The old ghost Gongyang was still hesitant, so the man took the opportunity to pour a little more oil on the fire, "Don't hesitate any longer. Do you want your ghost to live with a grass on his back and be controlled by others for the rest of his life?"
The old ghost shook his head.
"If you don't want to, please untie me quickly." The man couldn't hide his happiness, "Let's escape together under the cover of night and escape far away."
When the old ghost and the man were plotting to escape, someone came down the wooden ladder of the inn - Fourth Sister.
She groped with her hands in the darkness, quietly descended the wooden stairs, and came to the doorway from the lobby to the backyard, where she saw a person sitting at the door.
The fourth sister was not afraid, because Fu Nan's snoring was so loud that she could hear it on the wooden ladder.
However, when the fourth sister was about to go around Fu Nan, she took a closer look and was scared to death - she saw that Fu Nan had one eye closed, and the other eye was staring at her closely.
