The inn was so quiet today for some reason.

In the past, there would be many guests in the inn at this time, but when Feng Qing went downstairs today, she felt that it was strangely quiet.

The inn was very lively most of the time, but sometimes it would suddenly become quiet like this.

Feng Qing didn't really care.

She grabbed the hand of Miss Qi and walked downstairs.

"Hey, shopkeeper, wait a minute." Miss Qi was a little confused by being dragged by Feng Qing.

She was still holding a few clothes that Feng Qing had just found for her in her hands, and her mouth was stuffed with the chocolates that Feng Qing had just found for her.

"Hey, you gave me so many things, is there really no problem?" Miss Qi was a little dumbfounded.

"It's okay." Feng Qing said.

The whole inn was so quiet that it was a little scary. If Feng Qing hadn't taken a look at the account book tonight and knew that there were at least 20 people living in the inn, he would have almost thought that he was going to the wrong place.

But there were some advantages to being alone. Not many lights were on, and it was very quiet. As a socially anxious person, Feng Qing felt more relaxed in such occasions.

After passing the dim stairs, Feng Qing brought Miss Qi to the lobby. Maybe Miss Qi was too timid. As she walked, she kept asking, "Is it really okay if you give me these things?"

These precious silks and satins.

And black unknown candies.

And...

that silvery-white, particularly beautiful round ball.

This ball looks quite confusing from the surface, but if you know what it is, it will be clear.

- It is a glass ball lamp.

Miss Qi had one before.

This glass ball lamp looks very different from the one she had before, but the shopkeeper only said that, and Miss Qi immediately understood what this thing was.

The price of this thing is not low. If it is bought from a Western Region merchant, it can be cheaper.

But the glass ball lamp in front of her is too exquisite, and it is the first time Miss Qi has seen it.

"It doesn't matter." Feng Qing repeated it again. She said nonchalantly, "It's not a precious thing, it's very cheap."

Feng Qing said this sincerely.

Ten yuan for postage, discount at Pinxixi.

"Really?" Miss Xiao Qi thought to herself, that's right. A glass ball lamp is indeed not a rare item for the shopkeeper.

However, what Feng Qing and Miss Xiao Qi didn't know was.

- While they were chatting, the voices of the two people were heard clearly in this quiet inn.

...

"What did the shopkeeper give Miss Xiao Qi?"

In a room of the inn, two guests were sitting quietly in the room, their ears erected high.

Everyone has a gossipy heart. Although the inn is in a very dangerous state, the guests in the inn are afraid that Yishi will come to the door, which makes the inn so quiet, but everyone's enthusiasm for gossip is ignited by this silence.

"I don't know." Another person next to him said, "Isn't it just something worthless? Why are you so gossipy?"

"I'm just curious." The person who wanted to lie in the crack of the door to peek said, "This shopkeeper really doesn't seem to care. From yesterday to now, I have been wondering when she can beg for mercy and apologize to Yishi, but she is silent now."

In addition to these guests, the waiter in the inn is also talking.

"That guy named Qi Yushu is really smart."

Chu Changzui said while eating oranges.

"On the first day the shopkeeper agreed to take him in, he handed over the blood jade he was carrying." Feng Xiruo beside him also said. "

This thing cannot be kept in one's hands, and it will bring disaster, just like a water source in the desert. So, would the weak prefer to give it to the strong to seek shelter?" An Huoshaxi asked beside him.

Just when everyone in the room was gossiping secretly, the voices of Feng Qing and Miss Qi came from the lobby again.

"But giving this thing to me, isn't it a little..." Miss Qi said weakly.

"Oh, it's just a few clothes I wore before, and a small lamp." According to Feng Qing's experience, these kinds of lamps were all candlesticks in the eyes of the ancients, so she just said lamps.

Feng Qing's tone was always very real.

When she said something was very cheap, the slightly disgusted feeling in her tone was completely impossible to conceal.

After hearing Feng Qing's too real tone, the twenty or so people in the inn almost all lost interest in the gossip outside and retracted their heads.

Hey, it's just some clothes and lamps. It's all because there have been too many things happening in the inn recently, making everyone nervous and nervous about a small thing.

"But..."

"Oh, there is no but." Feng Qing dragged Miss Xiao Qi into her room.

Feng Qing actually did not have the habit of following guests to peek into her bedroom, but Feng Qing did have one thing to do.

She moved Miss Xiao Qi's bed away, and then plugged the small silver-white moon lamp into the socket at the head of the bed.

Before, Feng Qing was afraid that the guests would get electric shock, so she had plugged all the sockets for these guests with baby-proof electric shock safety plugs.

This is why there has been no electric shock accidents in Feng Qing's inn for so long.

She turned on the moon lamp gently, and a faint light came out of the lamp.

When Feng Qing turned on the small light, she saw the eyes of Miss Xiao Qi standing next to her gradually brighten.

That feeling was like the screen of a stage being slowly opened, a pure joy.

"Wow..." Miss Xiao Qi exclaimed happily at the small ball that suddenly emitted a slightly silvery white light.

"You can also turn on this to sleep at night." Feng Qing said.

The original function of this lamp was to be a comfort lamp. It was specially designed for those who dare not sleep with the light off in the middle of the night. Therefore, the light is very weak, which is slightly brighter than fluorescent light, and it saves electricity.

Feng Qing remembered that the little girl always said that the bedroom was dark. If she turned on this little lamp to sleep, she would not be afraid of the dark.

After turning on the light, Feng Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around and wanted to go upstairs, but suddenly heard Xiao Qi behind her ask:

"Why did you give these things to me?"

Xiao Qi looked at the shopkeeper, and her heart was a little uneasy.

In fact...

Xiao Qi knew that her brother had given the blood jade to the shopkeeper.

In her heart, the blood jade was not a good thing.

At least, it did not bring luck to the brother and sister. Instead, it brought disaster.

Miss Qi still remembered what her brother had secretly said to her after handing the blood jade to the shopkeeper.

"Finally, the thing was sent away."

Qi Yushu sighed.

"Brother..." Miss Qi looked at her brother hesitantly at that time. Qi Yushu turned around and asked, "You won't blame me for handing such a precious thing to the shopkeeper casually, right?" "

No, no." Miss Qi shook her head repeatedly.

"I know it's a bad thing."

A bad thing that forced her brother to wander around with her.

Maybe some people dream of owning a piece of blood jade.

Because no matter how evil this thing is, it can help people achieve a breakthrough in martial arts.

Throughout the ages, countless people have been looking forward to this, so they have been frantically looking for things like blood jade.

Miss Qi knew that her brother handed the blood jade to the shopkeeper like handing over a hot potato, but she also knew that her brother had bad intentions.

She knew that the shopkeeper accepted the blood jade, and at the moment she knew it, she actually thought in her heart that it seemed that even the shopkeeper could not help but be tempted by the blood jade.

Most people in this world are like this, and almost no one is an exception.

Miss Qi lowered her head and sighed slowly.

She didn't know why she was sighing, but suddenly she thought that the power of the blood jade stone would indeed evoke the most terrible emotion in the human mind - greed. She

just didn't know whether the shopkeeper in front of her suddenly gave her so many things because he had already seen her brother's plan and was testing her.

Or...

"Because..." At this moment, Miss Xiao Qi suddenly heard the shopkeeper in front of her speak.

"This is a return gift."

Feng Qing listened to Miss Xiao Qi's question and was ready to tell the truth.

Then, she saw with her own eyes that when Miss Xiao Qi heard her answer, she was suddenly stunned.

Really~cute~

Feng Qing now thought that the brother and sister actually gave her a broken stone as a gift, and she felt that this matter was quite ridiculous, but also quite cute.

There is always a sense of nonsensical warmth.

After all, it is well known that using stone tools as gifts is something that only happened in the Age of Apes.

Although Feng Qing did travel through time, she did not travel back to that era.

She imagined that the brother and sister picked up a stone that met their own aesthetic tastes while escaping, and then deliberately drilled a hole in it, threaded a rope through it, and then took it out as a gift at that time...

Well, that picture came to mind.

However, the brother and sister are not very old, so it is normal for them to have interesting brain circuits.

When Feng Qing thought of this, her voice slowed down.

And then-

Miss Xiao Qi saw the shopkeeper in front of her smile.

Although the shopkeeper often laughs, every time she laughs before, it makes people feel a little bit eerie.

But perhaps because the light is very soft now, she doesn't look scary at all, but rather a little bit strangely gentle.

Miss Qi suspected that she was seeing things.

"You are really an interesting pair of siblings." said the shopkeeper.

"Although the little stone you brought is really too simple." said the shopkeeper.

"But in all these years, it looks like the cutest gift."

There is a strange sense of pleasure in the shopkeeper's tone.

This sense of pleasure makes people feel a little creepy, and the words sound like an adult is watching two children fooling around.

Miss Qi got goosebumps at that moment.

She said with an incredible tone, "Cute?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that her tone was a little bad, so she immediately lowered her head.

The crazy beating heart was in her chest, reminding her of everything that was happening now.

But then, how is that possible?

No matter how you look at it, that blood jade can't be called cute, right?

"Yes." The shopkeeper said as a matter of course, her eyes suddenly became distant, as if she was thinking about something, "Let me think, when was the last time I received such a cute gift..."

"Oh, right." The shopkeeper laughed.

"It seems to be when I was...six years old?"
