Chapter 24

"Li Qing, what happened last night?"

Qi Yun pushed over directly and asked in a low voice.

Li Qing and others were relieved when they saw Qi Yun, but their face changed when they noticed the bandage on Qi Yun's chest.

"Second master, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. Why are there one person and three dogs missing?"

Qi Yun glanced at Li Qing and others.

Five of them came to this town last night. Now only four of them have come out.

Hearing this, Li Qing and others' faces were even more ugly.

Li Qing whispered, "second master, we are also about to report to you. This inn... This inn seems haunted."

"Huh?"

Qi Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "what do you mean?"

Li Qing looked back at the inn, turned pale and whispered, "second Lord, let's find a safe place and I'll tell you."

They walked out of here, more than 100 meters away from the inn, and came to a big tree at the mouth of the town.

Li Qing's face was ugly and said, "three dogs disappeared last night. We didn't see him when we got up this morning. What's more strange is that someone seems to be talking in the Inn room."

The other three gang members all looked pale and nodded quickly.

"Yes, sir, I heard it, too."

"So are we."

…

"What's going on?"

Qi Yun asked in a low voice.

"We came here last night according to your order. We didn't feel anything at that time. The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and brought us into the room. Because the inn was relatively large, we asked for a room alone."

"But strange things happen when I sleep in the first watch. I always hear someone talking by the bed. I can't hear clearly. I got up several times last night and thought it was from the next door, but after checking it, I found that there are only us next door. No one else lives at all. Other Jianghu men live upstairs, Or it's separated from us by several rooms. "

"We also asked. They didn't talk at all. They went to bed early."

"The sound lasted all night. All night long, I didn't dare to close my eyes. The sound kept on, like someone talking through the fog or someone scolding me. It sounded hysterical, but it was not clear."

"As soon as I woke up this morning, the three dogs sleeping in the westernmost room disappeared. At that time, we thought he went out for breakfast, but as soon as we went out, we found that all our horses were dead."

"Second master, did you see those horses before? It's reasonable to say that so many horses died, but we didn't hear any sound last night. "

"I went to question the shopkeeper this morning. The shopkeeper looked wronged and said he didn't know anything. We asked other tenants, but they didn't hear anyone talking in the room. Moreover, we searched the whole Inn and couldn't find the trace of three dogs, so we almost caught the shopkeeper."

Li Qing turned white and said.

Qi Yun quickly understood the general situation, frowned and said, "go and take me to meet the shopkeeper."

He walked towards the inn.

Li Qing and others were brave again and followed behind.

In the inn, there are seven or eight Jianghu guests shouting around the boss and asking for an explanation.

The boss is a pudgy middle-aged man. Surrounded by these seven or eight Jianghu guests, he looks bitter and explains constantly, but no one is willing to listen. Finally, he is willing to pay for the damage and waive the room fee for a few days. These Jianghu guests just hum and give up.

"Let me see, it's the hands and feet of your shopkeeper in the dark. Do you want to keep us for a few more days before you deliberately killed our horse? It's a profiteer!"

A Jianghu man said indifferently.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and finally sent these people upstairs.

After Qi Yun came in, he looked back and forth at the shopkeeper with cold eyes and looked at other clerks.

In addition to the shopkeeper, there are two shop assistants in the store. They are thin and walk lightly. They seem to be blown down by the wind at any time, giving people a strange feeling.

The shopkeeper noticed Qi Yun's eyes and hurried to meet him.

"Gentlemen, I really don't know how your horses died? I don't know where your people are going. The small ones are willing to compensate. Please let the small ones go. "

"You don't have to pay. We'll stay another night tonight and arrange me next door to them."

Qi Yun said coldly.

"Yes, sir, come with me."

The shopkeeper bowed and took Qi Yun to the second floor.

Qi Yun directly chose three dogs' room, waved and asked the shopkeeper to step back.

Li Qing and others all followed in.

The room was small and rather shabby, with a bed, a table, a mirror and nothing else.

Qi Yun observed around here and only saw three dogs' clothes and a steel knife. It seems that he took off last night and was ready to go to bed.

He grabbed the steel knife of three dogs and pulled it out directly. The knife was sharp and cold. There was no blood. It should not have been used last night.

"Second master, do you want to catch the shopkeeper directly and torture him?"

Li Qing is cruel.

"Don't worry. Let's see the situation tonight. You guys live in one room. Don't go out if you have nothing."

Qi Yun said.

"Yes, sir."

Li Qing and others nodded.

The day passed quickly.

In addition to the Jianghu guests in the daytime, several strange Jianghu people stayed in the inn.

Hearing that the inn had an accident last night, these Jianghu guests were not afraid, but very interested.

Qi Yun stood in the corridor in front of the door and saw the Jianghu guests. There were three people in total. They came in front and back.

The first person who came in was ugly, in his fifties, hunchbacked, smiling and with big yellow teeth.

The second man came in more than an hour later. He was lame and walked with a bamboo pole. He limped around the inn after coming in.

The third one was quite normal. He was dressed in white robes and had a handsome face. He looked in his early twenties and grabbed a folding fan in his hand. He had an unspeakable temperament. Lian Qiyun felt ashamed when he saw it.

When the three men passed their own door, they couldn't help pausing, showing a different color, and looked at him more.

I don't know if it's an illusion. Qi Yun feels that the eyes of the three people are the same as the young man with a big head, with an unspeakable strangeness, as if they are looking at some food.

Qi Yun frowned and looked at them when they looked at themselves.

The three people who came in one after another didn't look like they had practiced martial arts, but they had a faint sense of danger.

In particular, the ugly old man with a hunchback sneered a few times when he passed by. He didn't know what he was laughing at.

Night fell.

In the room, a bright red candle was inserted on the table and burned quietly.

Qi Yun sat on the bed, silently waiting for the voice to ring in the room.

But after the third watch, there was no abnormality.

He waited a little longer, got up and walked to the room of Li Qing and others.

The corridor was dark without any light. It was like a gloomy corridor, filled with a faint musty smell, which was very different from the day.

"Huh?"

Qi Yun noticed something wrong and hurried to Li Qing's room.

"Li Qing!"

Qi Yun began to knock at the door.

There was no sound in the room.

Qi Yun frowned and stamped open the door.

Bang!

The whole door collapsed directly and fell on the ground, raising a piece of dust. The room was gloomy, dimly lit and filled with a faint musty smell. It looked like no one had lived in the past few years.

The tables, chairs and benches fell down, full of incomplete cobwebs, and Li Qing and others had long disappeared.
