It was getting light outside, and the sound of roosters crowing could be heard from outside.
A person wearing a hat walked out of the nameless inn slowly.
Before leaving, she turned around to look at the lights on the inn all night, and then chuckled.
"Thank you for the hospitality today."
There were several empty wine bottles on the table of the inn.
The shopkeeper sat in front of the table, supporting his head with one hand, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
Li Qi stood at the door of the inn and watched the person leave. After a while, a child came to his side, "Why do you think she wants to leave at this time?"
"Maybe she feels that one night is enough time for her to arrange her people."
Li Qi said softly.
Chu Changzui sighed, and he turned around to look at the shopkeeper behind him.
"The shopkeeper has been silent all the time. It seems that she will remain neutral this time." Feng Xiruo also slowly walked over from the side. "
But if the shopkeeper wants to remain neutral, I wonder if Hua Jing can hold on."
Feng Xiruo rubbed his head.
He actually felt that he was a little bit wronged, so he didn't say much.
Although Hua Jing is also one of the employees of their inn, he has a special identity after all.
It is not good for him to casually hand over the medicine that the shopkeeper gave him.
Feng Xiruo turned his head and glanced at the shopkeeper. Just when he wanted to apologize to the shopkeeper, he was suddenly stunned.
The shopkeeper kept that action for a long time without making any sound.
"Shopkeeper, are you okay?" He patted the shopkeeper carefully.
"Ah? I'm fine." The shopkeeper shook his head.
"Then why don't you go upstairs and rest first, there's nothing to do today..."
"No, I think I have something else to do?" After he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the shopkeeper say this.
"Huh?"
"I have to go out for a while, it will be too late if I don't go now." The shopkeeper said, "You guys should pack up first, it's already this time, it's time to open the store."
At that moment, Feng Xiruo actually wanted to say: "Shopkeeper, we still have to open the store?"
But he finally held back the words and said to the shopkeeper, "Okay, shopkeeper, come back early." "
Oh, right." When the shopkeeper was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something for some reason.
"I prepared a gift for An Huo in the back."
"Huh?"
"Just tell her to get it when she comes back." The shopkeeper said this and walked out slowly.
Feng Xiruo looked at the shopkeeper's receding figure, and suddenly felt that the shopkeeper seemed to be going to do something amazing.
Or it seemed that he was just going to buy a steamed bun at the door.
Feng Qing looks very normal now, but in fact, she doesn't know what she is doing in her brain.
She has a problem, that is, even if she drinks too much, she looks like she hasn't drunk too much, her face is not red and she is not out of breath.
She didn't know how much she drank last night.
Although Feng Qing is still a person with some alcohol tolerance, no one can withstand drinking like her.
She vaguely felt that the person opposite seemed to want to keep her in the inn, although she had no idea why the person opposite did this, but Feng Qing did show her only acting skill in this life last night.
The person opposite tried desperately to get her drunk, and Feng Qing accepted all the offers.
Anyway, the only thought in her mind was to drink to death.
After she drank so much, her mind was empty, and even the only sense of tension she had before was gone.
Not only did she feel a little dizzy, but she even forgot what the current situation was.
But when the sun rose, Feng Qing's confused mind suddenly remembered something.
Yes.
The second inn is going to open today, and she has to go and take a look.
Before leaving, Feng Qing remembered another thing.
She bought a little skirt for Anhuo Shaxi, thinking that one day she would let her shoot a Douyin video and make some extra money.
She left the little skirt in a house in the backyard, but she didn't have time to give it to him in person, so she just let her find it herself.
Feng Qing attracted a lot of attention when she went out, and almost everyone who was still here noticed her figure.
But to be honest, there were not many people left.
Because most people are now concentrated in more important places.
- Now, the whole world is in chaos.
Feng Qing came to the second inn in a daze.
It's strange to say that she didn't meet anyone on the way here.
"What's going on? Why is there not even one person?"
Feng Qing's confused brain was not enough for her to think about this problem, she just knew to walk forward slowly.
Then she came to the door of the second inn.
A thought suddenly popped up in her confused mind.
——Why are there so many people at the door? Are they having a party?
Feng Qing thought about it again, oh, yes, today is her opening day, it is normal to have many guests at the opening.
But so many guests came at once, it really scared her. She couldn't enter through the front door, it was better to enter through the back door, so that she could give the guests a surprise.
...
In front of the largest inn in Yangzhou City, blood was all over the ground.
Several people stood in front of the door, they were all covered in blood, as if they would fall down in the next second.
And in front of them was a person standing upright, as if no one could pass in front of him.
There was a cold feeling on that person, as if he came with the wind and snow.
"It's really strange, Yi Chixue, don't you never care about these things?" A person said sarcastically.
The man standing in front of the inn was very calm, and he didn't waver at all because of this sentence.
But his white clothes were also stained with blood, and a terrible knife wound went through his abdomen.
Even though he didn't show any signs of weakness, the people around him were like vultures smelling blood, jumping towards him.
The wound was left by a sneak attack.
A group of martial artists heard the news and many of them tried to sneak into the second inn and find out some secrets hidden by the shopkeeper.
Many people said that the shopkeeper installed many mechanisms in the second inn. These mechanisms were extremely sophisticated and could not be compared with ordinary mechanisms, so many people wanted to come here to find out.
However, there was always someone standing in front.
That person was Yi Chixue.
No one knew when he came, and no one knew why he was standing here.
Feng Qing was drunk and dazed, and she didn't see clearly who was in front of the inn. She came to the inflatable arch and began to think about how to use it.
"I remember that this thing seems to be opened like this?" She sneaked up and shook it.
"Like this?"
"Or... like this?"
...
It was early morning.
Many people around the inn had already woken up.
The tailor shop proprietress looked up at the sky outside.
"The last time I remember the world was so chaotic, it seemed like a long, long time ago."
The sky here is still blue, and it is extremely quiet.
If it weren't for the news from last night, I'm afraid no one living here could imagine what the outside world is like.
- Last night, at least tens of thousands of people lost their heads.
Because they live in this town, they can walk out of the house safely this morning and even breathe some fresh air.
In some places outside, the air is filled with smoke and the smell of blood.
"I just don't know how long this quiet day can last." The tailor shop proprietress just said in a low voice, and turned around and suddenly heard a shocked voice from someone next to her.
"What's going on? Has Huacilou decided to return to its original position?"
"What?"
This statement caused a huge uproar.
The voice was heard from far away, even the people in the inn heard it.
Feng Xiruo suddenly opened his eyes.
"No way?" He muttered in a low voice.
"Anhuo Shaxi... shouldn't do such a stupid thing."
Several other people in the inn also stuck their heads out, and their eyes all looked towards the place where the voice came from.
A vendor selling steamed buns passed by slowly.
While pushing his cart, he said to the people next to him, "You don't know, the second owner of Huaci Building was killed last night."
"The new owner declared his allegiance to the inn the first moment he took office."
"No way? Who is the new owner?"
"You don't know that?" The peddler said mysteriously: "The new owner is a man that the previous owner liked."
"Man, what man?"
"A handsome man with the last name Bai or something."
"I never knew he was that kind of person before. This time he took action and scared everyone. Isn't this a case of judging a person by his appearance but not his heart?" After hearing
these words, the group of people crowded at the door of the inn all relaxed their expressions.
"Tsk."
"I wonder who it was, so boring."
Chu Changzui waved his hand and said with a bored look.
"Go back to bed."
"The kids should go back to bed first. I can't sleep yet. I need to prepare the dishes first. The guests will be here soon." Li Qi said.
"Is there anyone else who can come at this time today?" Feng Xiruo looked over.
"Then I'll go outside and find out what other news there is. I can't sleep anyway."
He turned around and caught up with the bun vendor, and asked him while buying buns, "What other news have you heard? Tell me, okay?"
"Ah? What other news do you want to know? There was a lot of news last night... What? You want big news? The leader of the Five Mountains is about to go to the Wuming Inn to kill the shopkeeper. Is this big news?"
"Where did this news come from?" Feng Xiruo asked in a very exaggerated tone, "How did you know such big news?"
"Of course I heard it from Huacilou!"
The vendor, whose ancestors had lived in the inn for generations and whose impression of the world of martial arts only came from storybooks, said with some pride.
He leaned close to Feng Xiruo's ear again, "I can tell you're someone who doesn't pay attention to the big things in the martial arts world. The new owner announced the news as soon as he took office today."
"If you ask me, the innkeeper should run away quickly. It will be too late if she doesn't run now. No matter how powerful she is, how can she withstand so many people?"
"Yeah, right, right..." Feng Xiruo nodded and followed the peddler away.
Li Qi glanced at the two men, shook his head, and put down the bolt completely.
A new day has begun.
The Nameless Inn started business as usual.
