Chapter 251 We Can’t Eat It

After Master Decheng and his three companions sat down in the tea shed, Shitou wanted to go outside, but Shi Xiaoliu forced him to sit down.

"Shi Tou, let's have breakfast together."

Shitou saw that Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng had no objection to Shi Xiaoliu's actions, so he sat down with peace of mind, with his butt only touching half of the stool.

The breakfast at the tea shed satisfied Master Decheng and his group, and Shitou felt much more at ease.

After they had breakfast and were about to leave, they saw five or six officers rushing towards the tea shed.

The man in charge of the tea shed immediately changed his expression and asked quickly, "Sir, are we occupying the road again?"

The officer with the knife had his hand on the hilt. He saw Master Decheng and his group and asked, "When did you arrive at the Shishi Inn yesterday?"

"When it's getting dark."

Master Decheng quickly answered the officer's questions. He looked at the officer's expression and turned back to the town, thinking that something big must have happened this time.

"After you entered the inn, did you come out again?"

"No."

"We asked the innkeeper, and he said that he didn't provide you with dinner."

"We brought some dry food with us. We were too tired from the journey and didn't have the energy to eat more."

The leading officer looked at the four of them and asked, "You didn't leave the inn at night?"

"No."

Decheng Zhenren asked curiously: "Sir, what happened?"

"Don't leave Huihui Town these few days."

Master Decheng nodded and said, "We won't leave in the next few days, but we can't stay in Zhehui Town forever."

The officer looked at the expression on his face and asked: "Where are you from?"

After Master Decheng reported the place name, the officer frowned and asked, "Why are you here in Zhehui Town?"

"We want to go to Kunlun Mountain. We heard from someone that if we go back to town, someone knows the way to Kunlun Mountain."

"You have been deceived."

The officer said bluntly: "Besides, you two are not young anymore, do you still believe in stories about becoming immortals?"

This time, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng dressed up as middle-aged men, and it seems that they did it very successfully.

"Sir, there must be a reason for this rumor. Perhaps some elders in this town have been to Kunlun Mountain, but it was so long ago that the story was not passed down."

"Sir, I heard from my wife that hundreds of years ago, an immortal passed through our town on his way to Kunlun Mountain."

"Go away. If anyone has guests these days, please report to the government."

"Sir, what a big deal has happened."

"Chen Tou, we can't keep this secret for long, so why not tell everyone about it?"

Chen Tou glared at the nosy officer and finally said, "The kidnapper's family was killed last night, and even the children were killed."

"Ugh." There were people eating in the tea shed. After hearing what Chen Tou said, they immediately felt uncomfortable.

"squeak."

The stool that Shitou was sitting on made a sound, and Shi Xiaoliu looked at him and said, "What are you afraid of?"

Shi Zelan looked at him and shook his head, saying, "We don't even know where the east and west ends are."

“Yes.”

Shitou sat down again, blushing, "I didn't doubt you."

"Such a big disaster has happened. The officials will investigate the case carefully."

Master Decheng said to Chen Tou, "The sooner you officers solve the case, the sooner we can leave and return to the town."

They didn't feel like sitting around in the tea stall anymore. The looks from the people in the tea stall made them feel uncomfortable.

On the way back to the inn, they encountered many scrutinizing looks and saw passers-by avoiding them as much as possible.

When they entered the inn, the owner was relieved to see them come in, then said sheepishly: "The officer went upstairs to check your room."

Master Decheng and his companions nodded. In the bags they carried were two or three pieces of clothes and two or three packages of food, also to conceal their whereabouts.

When they went upstairs and entered the room, they found that the bundle had been lifted up, but it had indeed not been opened.

The host also followed upstairs at this time, and stood at the door opened by Master Decheng, and said anxiously: "You are not in the room, and the officials have not opened your bags. They said they will come back later."

Master Decheng nodded and said, “We won’t leave the inn.

Can we sit downstairs in the living room for a while? ”

The host nodded repeatedly: "I know you didn't go out last night. I was the first person to open the door of the inn."

Master Decheng looked at him and asked: "Are you officers handling the case quickly?"

The host shook his head: “In all these years, there has never been such a tragic case.

I also think it’s impossible that you did it, you don’t even know the kidnapper’s family. ”

While they were talking, the officials came to the inn, but this time Chen Tou was not there.

They came up and said they wanted to check the belongings of Master Decheng and the other three. Master Decheng took the initiative to open the bag and let them check.

After checking the window, the officer opened it and looked down. He asked, "If you jump from such a high window, will you break your legs?"

"Won't.

If we who travel don’t know a few skills, we wouldn’t dare to go so far. ”

The officers looked at Master Decheng with scrutiny, then left one person standing outside the door while they went to Master Shanzheng's room next door.

Master Shanzheng was making tea. When he saw the officer coming in, he also opened his bag to show it to the officer.

The officer looked at it and asked in surprise, "You have come such a long way, and you only have this much luggage?"

"Yes, we are not businessmen, so we don't need to carry too many things on the road."

The officer pushed open the window as usual and asked, "Will your legs break if you jump from here?"

"Normally, this situation would not occur."

The officer looked at Master Shanzheng deeply, then went to Shi Zelan's room and asked the same question.

Shi Zelan said to the officer very frankly: "I have never jumped from this window before. Do you want me to try it now?"

The officer thought Shi Zelan was a reckless person, and said unhappily: "I didn't tell you to jump out of the window, so don't jump out of the window casually in the future."

When he left, he looked at Shi Zelan's feet very carefully, and Shi Zelan followed him and looked at her own feet.

"Sir, is there something wrong with my feet?"

"No."

Outside the door, there was an officer standing. Next to him, the officer also asked Shi Xiaoliu the same question about jumping out of the window.

"Jump out the window. It's such a high distance, I don't think I'll break my legs.

But I can't guarantee such a thing.

Sometimes, you may choke when drinking water. ”

After the officials left, Master Decheng and his party sat outside the inn, while the host stood guard beside them.

"You won't leave these two days, will you?"

Shi Zelan glanced at him and said, "In this situation, do we dare to leave?"

The host rubbed his hands vigorously and said, "It's better not to leave. We have a lot of delicious food here."

"We can't eat in this situation."
