Everyone looked over.
Jing Tian walked up to the shopkeeper and said with a smile.
"I dare to bet that there are no guests in your inn. If you don't admit it, we can go upstairs and search.”
The old shopkeeper's expression became even more awkward as he asked.
"How can you be sure that there are no customers inside?”
Jing Tian smiled.
He walked to a guest table.
He wiped his fingers.
"Look, the table is covered in dust, which means that there hasn't been any customers for at least two or three days.”
"And before we came in, there were also other tenants who shook their heads and left, which means that there are many customers.”
"But why is there not a single guest in this hall?”
"This can only mean one thing. You deliberately didn't receive guests.”
After listening to Jing Tian's analysis.
Xue Jian finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
He immediately rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the old shopkeeper's collar.
"Alright, what's wrong with me? You dare not accept my business?"”
The old shopkeeper was just an ordinary person, and his physical strength was not as good as Xue Jian's. Looking at the people in front of him, it seemed that they all had the strength to rely on, so he decided not to hide it.
He had a long face.
"I have no choice. On the fifteenth night of last month, someone died in my guest room. This is not the first time. It's not that I don't want to entertain you, but..."
"The government is still investigating. How can I dare to do business at this juncture? What if someone dies again?”
Mao Mao's entire body trembled in fear.
"Dead people?"
"Is it an inexplicable death? There can't be demons, right?"
The old shopkeeper shook his head.
"I don't know. No one knows why.”
Mao Mao walked to Xu Changqing's side and said with a smile,""Fortunately, we have a Taoist priest here. If it's a demon, just leave it to him.”
The old shopkeeper looked at Xu Changqing.
She didn't notice him earlier, but now she looked at his entire body.
The gourd, the sword, and the spell talismans made him look like a Taoist priest.
Then, he welcomed them.
"So it's a Daoist priest. Why didn't I recognize him earlier?”
Xu Changqing said calmly.
"No wonder all the villagers in this village ran away when they saw strangers.”
The old shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah, it's a full moon night these few days, and it's almost the fifteenth, so we don't dare to do business!”
Xu Changqing said," Don't worry about that, Shopkeeper. I know how to collect demons. Please let us stay here again."”
When the old shopkeeper saw this, he knew that he couldn't stop them.
He said straightforwardly.
"If you really want to stay overnight, then you have to sign a life and death agreement for me. No matter what happens, this shop will not be responsible.”
Xue Jian had long been blown by the wind outside.
Everyone agreed.
"Good! Then sign it!"
Everyone finally got their wish and stayed in the inn.
Originally, Long Kui wanted to stay in the same room as Jing Tian, but Xue Jian refused, so she booked a big room with Mao Mao, while Long Kui, Xue Jian, and Xu Changqing each had a small room.
Xu Changqing volunteered to go out and keep watch.
At night.
Jing Tian suddenly opened his eyes.
It wasn't because Mao Mao's snoring was too loud to cover the sound of her fart.
It was because there was someone outside his room.
At this moment, the door was quietly pushed open.
A slender figure sneakily walked in.
"Catch the thief!"
Jing Tian jumped over and grabbed the shadow.
Mao Mao was startled awake.
"Boss, did you catch the thief? That messenger!"
He turned on the lights.
It turned out that the person who came in was Xue Jian.
Xue Jian looked hungry and pitiful.
"Jing Tian, I'm not a thief. I'm just hungry, so I came in to get some money to buy some food.”
She no longer had her identity as the eldest daughter of the Tang Family Castle, no savings from her job, and no money on her. She couldn't ask for it directly, which was why tonight's incident happened.
Jing Tian scratched his nose and smiled.
"You can't do this next time. Just tell me directly. There's no need to be sneaky.”
Xue Jian nodded in agreement.
Jing Tian turned around and said to Mao Mao.
"Go to sleep first. I'll bring her out for a meal. When I come back, I'll bring you a roasted chicken.”
Mao Mao happily rolled around on the bed.
"Boss is so good!"
Jing Tian brought Xue Jian out of the door.
Because it was the first half of the night, the market in An Ning Village was not completely closed.
However, the inn they were staying at did not provide night food.
Therefore, Jing Tian took Xue Jian out to look for food.
They saw Xu Changqing walking past them with a serious expression.
"Hero Changqing! Hero Changqing, have you found anything? Could there really be demons?"
Xue Jian called out to Xu Changqing. She remembered the old shopkeeper's words during the day and was a little afraid.
It was only then that Xu Changqing noticed them.
He asked Jing Tian and Xue Jian to follow.
" Shh…I just found a woman. Look…"
Jing Tianxue looked in the direction where Xu Changqing was pointing.
He only saw the importance of the road.
The woman who sold perfume during the day.
Wan Yuzhi was walking on the street in a hurry.
Her expression was hurried. She was wandering alone on the street in the middle of the night. It was very strange.
" I can sense a demonic aura from her," Xu Changqing said." I don't know what she's going to do." I want to go and take a look."
"That woman is a monster! Didn't that mean that it was the full moon last month?”
Xue Jian was scared. She held onto Jing Tian's clothes and dared not let go.
Xu Changqing continued," But I'm sure that Lord Jing Tian has already seen through this. I didn't take her in because Lord Jing Tian didn't do anything. There must be something else going on."”
Xue Jian glanced at Jing Tian, who was yawning and completely out of his mind.
Did he really see through it?
That woman was a monster.
