Visitor in the Midnight
Qiu Sheng nodded, completely unaware of Miss Ren's psychological changes. He continued,"
"I also heard from Master that the corpse-transporting inn was specially set up for corpse-transporting craftsmen to rest while they were moving corpses. Because of its special nature, the corpse-transporting inn is usually set up in the desolate wilderness.”
"However, this corpse transporting inn should be abandoned now. After all, the inheritance of the corpse transporting craftsmen has long been broken.”
Seeing Ren Tingting's pale face, Qiu Sheng also noticed that something was wrong. He hurriedly joked,"This is all nonsense. That wooden building might not be the Corpse Inn. Let's go and take a look first.”
Although Ren Tingting was a little afraid, no matter what the wooden building was for, it was still much better than staying in the wild.
As they spoke, the two of them quickened their pace and rushed in the direction of the small wooden building.
……
Not long after, the sky gradually darkened.
There seemed to be only the whimper of the wind in the wilderness. There was no movement of other living things, making it seem a little gloomy and quiet.
Night gradually enveloped the world, and the world was pitch-black.
His grandson, who was guarding the corpse transportation inn, could not help but feel a little anxious. He kept pacing back and forth at the entrance of the inn.
"Why isn't Grandpa back yet? What if the footman wakes up any later?”
"Could something have happened?!”
His grandson was worried about his grandfather's safety, but he did not dare to leave easily.
Just as his grandson was at a loss, the old man finally appeared!
When his grandson saw his grandfather sweating profusely, he hurriedly ran over and took the things from his back.
Although his grandfather was a little out of breath, he was in good spirits.
He handed over the food box in his hand and instructed his grandson,"Go and warm the food in the pot. When the footman wakes up, you can eat it directly!”
The inn was a little run-down, but the old man would come occasionally, so there were some simple kitchenware in the kitchen.
"Hey!"
After his grandson took it, he slipped into the kitchen to start a fire.
……
At the same time, Ren Tingting and Qiu Sheng also arrived at the corpse-transporting inn.
Looking at the plaque on the wooden building, Ren Tingting could not help but freeze.
This was really a corpse-transporting inn!
Qiu Sheng scratched his head awkwardly. He had only said that casually.
Noticing Ren Tingting's stiff expression, Qiu Sheng smiled and said,""It's okay, Miss Ren. Although it's a corpse-transporting inn, there might not be a corpse. Just treat this place as an ordinary inn.”
Although Ren Tingting felt that this place was a little strange, there was no better choice now. After all, it was in the wilderness, and it was even more dangerous at night.
Moreover, he couldn't bring her out just because he minded it!
Ren Tingting could not be so willful, so she waved her hand and said,""It's okay. This place is quite good."
Hearing Miss Ren's words, Qiu Sheng immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly walked forward and knocked on the wooden door of the inn.
"Dong dong dong!"
A dull and rhythmic sound rang out in the quiet forest.
……
After resting for a moment, the old man placed the things he had brought on the table one by one.
His expression was very serious and his movements were very careful, afraid of disturbing the master's rest.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Dong dong--!"
This voice was particularly ear-piercing to the old man's ears, but in the next second, he could not help but raise his guard.
"Why would someone knock on the door in the wilderness at this time?”
"Dong dong dong!"
Perhaps it was because no one answered, but the knocking sounded again.
The old man was worried that he would wake up the footman. He immediately picked up the candle and walked towards the wooden door.
……
Seeing that no one opened the door for a long time, Qiu Sheng thought that there was no one here.
"Creak--
The wooden door let out an ear-piercing sound, and an old man with a wrinkled face appeared in front of everyone with a candle in his hand.
After seeing the other party's appearance, Ren Tingting could not help but hold her breath. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared blankly at the old man in front of her.
The old man had high cheekbones, gray hair at the temples, a dull face full of wrinkles that made his face as rough as tree bark. He looked like he had gone through a lot.
The candlelight flickered in the wind, and the dim yellow light made the old man look a little gloomy.
Perhaps because of his age, the old man's upper eyelids had drooped. At this moment, he was looking at them with a sizing gaze.
"Who are you? Why is he here?"
The old man's voice was extremely hoarse, as if it had been polished by sandpaper!
Not only Ren Tingting, but even Qiu Sheng's heart tightened. He did not expect that there would be someone in this seemingly dilapidated corpse transporting inn.
Moreover, it should be the owner of this inn!
But he quickly came back to his senses and smiled innocently.""Old man, we are from Xiangjiang City. We came down from Maoshan Mountain. It's getting late now. We saw the light here, so we came to stay for the night.”
