Li Qi was resting his eyes on the bed, but at a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Someone is coming.

It seemed that there was no one in the quiet inn, but Li Qi knew that someone must be hiding here.

Because this swordsman has a unique way to find other people.

He spread his murderous aura with all his strength, extending it to the entire inn. The murderous aura became stronger and stronger, so strong that no one could ignore it.

Finally, at a certain moment, the man couldn't bear it anymore and revealed his breath.

"It's you." Li Qi said coldly.

In the center of the lobby, a man in white appeared. When the man saw Li Qi, he gestured with his hands a few times.

He is a mute.

The shopkeeper is indeed very smart. Li Qi thought, the mute scholar is here today.

He looked coldly at the mute scholar, who could not speak, but looked very gentle.

If someone did not know him, they would probably think he was an ordinary scholar.

But no matter how ordinary a scholar was, he could not come to this inn quietly under the nose of Li Qi.

The mute scholar was not a mute at first.

No one in this world knew how he became mute.

As a mute, he should be the most suitable to survive in this world, after all, a mute would not tell too many secrets.

But this mute seemed to be omnipotent, and no one knew how many thoughts a crazy mute had hidden.

Seeing that Li Qi didn't understand sign language, the dumb scholar seemed to be a little impatient, but he still made gestures to Li Qi little by little, as if he wanted to explain something.

However, Li Qi in front of him was no longer prepared to figure out what he said...

"Who is downstairs?" However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded upstairs.

Li Qi and the dumb scholar were both stunned and looked upstairs.

The shopkeeper... When did you find out?

Feng Qing on the second floor yawned on the bed.

——It is normal for her, a 21st century human who doesn't have to go to work tomorrow, to stay up until two o'clock in the morning?

Originally, Feng Qing was watching a movie. She was free and wanted to see what Li Xiaoqi, who was sleeping downstairs, was doing. As a result, she happened to see Li Qi and the dumb scholar.

Feng Qing, who came from a peaceful era, didn't think at first that someone had come to her door. After all, the dumb scholar didn't look like a big and strong man.

His small body made Feng Qing always have the illusion that she could break his arm with her bare hands.

So Feng Qing's first reaction was that someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night and wanted to stay in the hotel, but she didn't hear it because she was wearing headphones.

"Li Qi, it's too late, pack up and go to bed quickly, and find a room for that person." Feng Qing yawned and looked at the guest. Normally, their inn would never let guests in so late.

But since Li Qi was woken up... let him stay first.

Since he was here.

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, but the dumb scholar opposite him suddenly had a light in his eyes, and then looked at Li Qi with expectation.

"...Yes."

Although Li Qi was puzzled, he would not disobey the shopkeeper's words. However, he couldn't figure out why the shopkeeper would not let him take action against the dumb scholar.

In fact, not only him, but even the dumb scholar himself was a little confused.

He looked upstairs for a long time before blinking at Li Qi.

Li Qi looked at the dumb scholar coldly for a while, and took him to a room on the first floor. At the door of the room, he specifically warned, "Don't come out at night."

...

The next day, Feng Qing slept until ten o'clock before getting up.

As usual, she got up and went downstairs to eat, and then she found that there was a person in their inn eating breakfast in an orderly manner.

Eh? Who is this person...

It was too dark yesterday, so Feng Qing couldn't see clearly, but in the daytime with the help of the bright sun, she saw that the guest who came last night was quite handsome.

For some reason, three words flashed through her mind - pretty boy.

Ahem.

This person should be a scholar, right? Feng Qing thought. She remembered that the scholar on this street dressed like this, but similar clothes looked very different on different people.

Everyone loves beauty, so Feng Qing couldn't help but take a few more glances, until the scholar turned around, saw Feng Qing, and suddenly smiled shyly at her.

Oh, a little cute.

Before Feng Qing could blush, she suddenly saw the scholar babbling and gesturing at her a few times, looking at her expectantly while gesturing.

A mute? Feng Qing was stunned for a moment.

She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, wondering if she had been a little rude to stare at him for so long.

However, the man seemed to have a good attitude, which made Feng Qing feel a little relieved.

"That mute scholar still won't give up." Li Qi said to Chu Changzui, "Why is the shopkeeper still willing to talk to him?"

This was an unsolved mystery for Li Qi from last night to this morning.

"Oh, you don't understand." Chu Changzui silently pulled his clothes, holding the chubby dinosaur tail behind him and said, "Does the shopkeeper have his own reasons?"

He couldn't tell Li Qi in detail about this reason.

Because in the shopkeeper's mind, the words "Yun Shujun is dead" must be a super taboo.

She didn't want others to think that she was Feng Wuhen. She would rather let others think that Yun Shujun survived the duel and Feng Wuhen died in the duel.

If it was Feng Wuhen, he would definitely not want others to paint his appearance.

But if it was Feng Wuhen pretending to be Yun Shujun... then he would definitely not mind, and he even couldn't wait to hope that someone could paint a picture for "Yun Shujun".

Because only a living person can be kept by others to be painted, but a dead person cannot.

The shopkeeper's love was so deep that even Chu Changzui, who had seen all kinds of people, couldn't help but be moved.

However, the shopkeeper always covered his face with his hair, and Chu Changzui had some ideas about the shopkeeper's real appearance.

Could it be that the shopkeeper himself was also worried that his appearance would embarrass Yun Shujun, so he always covered his face with his hair?

Chu Changzui thought about it and said that it was true. According to the legend, Yun Shujun was a person who was so beautiful that the moon was ashamed of the flowers, but the rumors about Feng Wuhen's appearance had always been vague.

He had a serious expression, and he stroked his big tail while thinking. Li Qi next to him looked at him for a long time. I don't know why Chu Changzui's firm expression when facing this dress a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

Even if I, Chu Xiaobai, die outside or jump from here, I will not wear it!

"Your handwriting is so beautiful." Feng Qing looked at the dumb scholar who was communicating with her using paper and pen.

His handwriting was on par with Hua Jing's, and both were levels that Feng Qing, who wrote with such poor handwriting, could never reach in his lifetime.

[Thank you.] The dumb scholar wrote to Feng Qing.

Feng Qing felt that this person gave people a particularly comfortable feeling, perhaps because he looked pure and clean, or perhaps because his temperament was like a clear spring. In short, this was a person with an interesting soul.

Scholars these days are generally very poor, and the man in front of him seemed to be no exception. He had been working for most of the day and only had a bowl of porridge in the morning, and he looked very poor.

Feng Qing was not too worried that the other party would have no money to pay her, but before she could open her mouth, the other party suddenly said: [Can I draw a picture for you?]

Feng Qing was slightly stunned, then smiled, "Okay."

Is this the legendary payment in exchange for a picture?

[Then may I ask, can you show me what you look like after you lift up your bangs?]

Feng Qing was stunned.

The dumb scholar opposite her still looked at her with special expectations, but unexpectedly, this time Feng Qing shook her head firmly, "No."

[Why?] The dumb scholar seemed to be stunned.

He looked puzzled, as if he agreed to draw a picture for her, but did not agree to lift up his bangs.

"No reason." Feng Qing was afraid that his tone was too serious after he finished speaking, so he laughed again, "It's okay, don't worry about the room fee, just live here with peace of mind."

"See, I was right." Chu Changzui, who was hiding in the back, said faintly.

"The shopkeeper really doesn't want others to see her true appearance, for fear that her appearance will be ruined by Yun Shujun's reputation as a peerless beauty."

Come to think of it, it's too embarrassing for a man to compare his appearance with Yun Shujun's beauty.

The dumb scholar was left alone downstairs, looking a little depressed. Chu Changzui walked over and patted his shoulder earnestly, "Don't worry about it too much. The shopkeeper... maybe just doesn't want others to see her face clearly."

Feng Qing returned to her room, carefully lifted her bangs, and took a look at her appearance.

To be honest, Feng Qing's real appearance... is actually quite cute.

The magical thing is that after lifting her bangs, Feng Qing's eyes are not the phoenix eyes that most people imagine, but a pair of round eyes, which makes her look harmless.

Feng Qing is not a great beauty, but a beautiful girl. However, she insists on not combing her bangs down.

Anyway, Feng Qing herself felt that her eyes ruined her aura and made her look unintimidating. The gloomy bangs made her look very individual, and only such bangs could match a person as immature as her.

When Feng Qing was fixing her bangs, she suddenly heard the courier below shouting, asking her to come down to get something.

"Huh? It's here so soon?" Feng Qing was a little happy.

She ran down, signed for the receipt, and then laboriously carried the big box to the lobby table.

And the courier that made Feng Qing so happy was actually a big box of discounted Coke.

There were all kinds of flavors in it, such as lime Coke, white peach Oolong Coke, and raspberry flavor.

You know, for a Coke lover like her, she has been waiting for this Coke for a long time. Last night, she was thirsty and complained about why the Coke hadn't arrived yet.

After the courier brought it, Feng Qing immediately took out several beautiful bottles, placed them neatly on the table and took a photo.

One of the main purposes of buying this kind of Coke is naturally to take pictures, otherwise the original Coke is yyds, who would buy so many messy flavors for no reason.

Feng Qing happily uploaded the photos she took to her circle of friends, waiting for others to like them.

However, in the corner that she didn't notice, a group of people were watching her secretly.

"What is the shopkeeper doing?" Li Qi said with his pupils wide open.

He saw with his own eyes that the shopkeeper took out nearly twenty bottles of wine and put them on the table. These twenty bottles were placed neatly by her, as if she was going to drink all of them today.

It is conceivable that even a person with a good alcohol tolerance would get drunk to death after drinking these twenty bottles.

The shopkeeper usually loves to drink, but she has never been like this today. What happened to her?

"It's over, the shopkeeper... is she drinking to drown her sorrows?"

Chu Changzui's heart skipped a beat.

Come to think of it, it is a torture for the shopkeeper to mention Yun Shujun's matter once. It is normal for the shopkeeper to choose to drink to drown her sorrows today.

But for the people in their inn, even Li Qi, who has stayed here the longest, has never seen the shopkeeper like this.

They watched Feng Qing open a pot of wine, and even drank it all from the pot without a cup, their hearts pounding.

Feng Qing took a big gulp, and then looked at the taste of the Coke in her hand.

Cherry flavor.

How to describe this taste, for Feng Qing it is just like durian, the first time she tried it, she couldn't stand it, she thought the taste was too weird, but after a while she would think, how weird is this thing?

She took another big gulp.

Well, it's still so weird.

Maybe it was because the afternoon sun was too warm, so Feng Qing seemed a little drowsy the whole afternoon.

Soon it was time to close the store.

At this moment, Feng Qing suddenly heard a cautious voice coming from behind her.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you go back to sleep."

"Huh?" Feng Qing turned her head curiously and found that it was Li Qi.

She shook her head, "No, you go back first, I'll stay here alone for a while."

"Shopkeeper..."

Damn, why do you have such a heartbroken expression? Feng Qing suddenly felt a little guilty.

Yes, she couldn't control herself and drank three bottles of Coke today. Although they were in aluminum cans, it was indeed a bit excessive, but there was no need to look at her like that, right?

"It's really nothing, you should go back and rest quickly." Feng Qing said, "Just let me stay here alone."

She had something else to do tonight.

Li Qi went back with some concerns. Chu Changzui glanced at him. He didn't even know when An Huo and the dumb scholar came. Chu Changzui said, "This won't work. If the shopkeeper keeps drinking like this, something might happen..."

"We have to keep an eye on the shopkeeper tonight." Li Qi thought for a while, and finally said decisively.

An Huo also looked at the shopkeeper with some concerns. The dumb scholar didn't seem to know what happened here, but just looked at them with his clear eyes.

"Then how do we keep an eye on the shopkeeper?" Chu Changzui asked.

"It's probably done in secret." Li Qi said, "The shopkeeper... probably doesn't want us to see her like this."

Feng Qing really had something to do in the lobby today.

In fact, her mother had ordered her to quickly take a video and send it over, otherwise she wouldn't be able to brag to her sisters about her square dance tomorrow.

Feng Qing fixed his cell phone on the stand in the corner, looked at it for a long time, and muttered, "How do I use this thing? I don't know how to use it for the first time."

...

"It's here." Chu Changzui led everyone to a window and whispered, "When I went out to play before, I found that this was a blind spot. Usually the shopkeeper would be able to find us, but today the shopkeeper is drunk, so he might not care about us."

As he spoke, he licked his little finger and quietly poked a hole in the window paper.
