However, what Chen Yalan did not expect was that the shopkeeper actually denied everything.
"Sir, I really don't know the people you are talking about, and they don't live here. Are you mistaken?" While saying this, the shopkeeper looked at Chen Yalan with curiosity.
If Chen Yalan had not asked clearly when she came, she would probably have been deceived by the shopkeeper's appearance.
He saw that the shopkeeper completely denied the matter. Is there anything she can do? "I see. It seems I made a mistake. Shopkeeper, I'm sorry. These are some old friends of mine. I heard they were staying at your place, so I came here."
After saying that, Chen Yalan took Fu Liu and was about to leave. When they passed by the hall, they heard someone shouting something inside.
If I listened carefully, I could hear those people saying that the buns here were very delicious.
How delicious must the buns be that made the people in the inn make such a loud noise regardless of the presence of other people?
Looking at the sky outside, it was already noon. Chen Yalan and Fu Liu had not eaten yet. Hearing the noise in the inn, they were naturally a little hungry, so they found a table and sat down.
"Waiter, give me some buns."
After a while, the waiter came up with a plate of buns.
"Sir, please enjoy your meal."
Chen Yalan and Fu Liu didn't hesitate and immediately took the buns and started eating. Sure enough, the buns were fragrant as soon as they put their mouths.
At this time, they also understood why those people praised these buns so much. These buns were indeed different from other buns. Compared with those buns, these buns were more delicious and tasty.
"This bun is really delicious." Fu Liu took a bite of the bun and savored it carefully before speaking.
Chen Yalan also took a bite of the bun, and after listening to Fu Liu's words, she nodded.
Just when she had eaten half of the bun, she suddenly felt something hard in her mouth. With a hint of confusion, she reached out and took the thing out of her mouth, only to find that it was a nail.
Huh? Chen Yalan couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. She didn't expect such a delicious bun to have a nail inside. It seemed that the hygiene here was not very good. The bun maker actually broke his own nail and got it into the bun filling.
At this time, Chen Yalan just thought that the nail was accidentally put in by the chef who made the buns, so she threw the nail aside and continued eating.
After eating the buns, Chen Yalan asked the shopkeeper to open a room for them, and then the two of them rested in the room.
At night, Chen Yalan came to the outside of the inn.
There was a tea stall not far from the entrance of the inn. Chen Yalan thought it was interesting and ran to the tea stall to drink tea.
"Sir, please go back and rest early after drinking your tea. You don't know that there have been some strange ghost cries at night recently, which is very scary." At this time, Chen Yalan was the only customer at the tea stall, so the proprietress started to communicate with Chen Yalan.
What, ghost crying? Chen Yalan didn't take the boss lady's words seriously. She thought she must be joking with her.
There are no ghosts in this world, and this is a busy city, so how could there be ghost cries?
"Is the boss lady afraid that I won't pay for the tea? You actually told such a joke."
Seeing that Chen Yalan didn't believe it, the proprietress shook her head: "Sir, please don't disbelieve me. I really heard it."
However, no matter what the boss lady said, Chen Yalan was skeptical about the matter.
As if to confirm the proprietress's words, a cry of surprise was suddenly heard.
Chen Yalan was startled by the scream and immediately turned her head to look at the source of the sound. The sound came from inside the inn. When Chen Yalan turned her head, she saw a figure rushing out of the inn.
"Who is it?" Chen Yalan shouted and chased after him.
The tea shop's proprietress was hiding in the corner, trembling. "There's a ghost, there's a ghost. Look, now you should finally believe me. I'm not lying to you. There really is a ghost."
If she looked up, she would see Chen Yalan had already shot out like an arrow. Unfortunately, she was frightened by the scream and squatted in the corner with her hands covering her head, not daring to move.
As for Chen Yalan, she heard a scream and saw a figure running away, so she immediately chased after him. However, the tea stall was still a certain distance away from the inn, and when she came over, the figure had already run hundreds of meters away.
Chen Yalan's eyes fell to the ground, and she found a pool of blood. What is this, blood?
Squatting down, Chen Yalan dipped her hand in the water and put it under her nose to smell. Now, she could be sure that it was blood, and human blood at that.
Suddenly, her thoughts went back to the half fingernail she ate out of the bun at noon today.
"Ugh." She seemed to have just realized that it was the nail of the bun maker who accidentally broke it inside. But now it seems that it is still unknown what the filling of the bun is made of.
Although she felt extremely disgusted, Chen Yalan knew that the most important thing at this moment was to bring the man to justice, so she suppressed her disgust and strode towards the figure.
She was delayed for a while after all, and at this time the man was already some distance away from her, but Chen Yalan was very fast and quickly closed the distance between them.
Seeing Chen Yalan chasing after him, the man gritted his teeth and threw the thing in his hand at Chen Yalan.
Seeing something coming towards her, Chen Yalan immediately dodged, but when she dodged, the figure disappeared into a small alley. When Chen Yalan chased after it, she could no longer find the person.
At this time, Diao Chen Yalan had already remembered that he had just thrown something at her, so she returned to her previous position and looked for the thing that the man had thrown away.
It was a bundle with a round object inside. Chen Yalan didn't know what was inside, so she opened the bundle. When she opened it, Chen Yalan suddenly covered her mouth.
The round thing in the bundle was not an object, but a head. Although Chen Yalan had cut off the head of a Tubo leader with her own hands before, compared with this head, Chen Yalan still felt that these people were too cruel.
The head was pale and had some bruises on the face. It was obvious that he had suffered some inhuman torture when he was alive.
Looking more closely, one can see some silk threads at the corners of his mouth. It can be seen that they are probably the remnants of a handkerchief soaked in medicine that was used to cover his lips when he was alive.
