Chapter 101 The Weird Inn

This inn has two floors, not too big but not too small. It is in the shape of "Hui". There are a total of twelve rooms on the second floor, three rooms are evenly distributed on each side, and only the side opposite the gate is Tianzi. The room, and the other nine rooms on the three sides are all local names.There are ten rooms on the first floor, the largest one seems to be the back kitchen, the rest should have six herringbone-sized rooms based on the exterior decoration, and the rest are probably warehouses and utility rooms.

There is nothing to see on the second floor. Baili Mingyan walked over in the blink of an eye. It is no surprise that the boss said that there is only one room left. The house is all empty.

The boss turned off the lights after sending them into the house, but fortunately the moonlight was bright.Baili Mingyan walked lightly to the first floor by the moonlight. After searching around, he unexpectedly found ten rooms on the first floor. Except for the back kitchen, the other nine rooms were filled with people in the warehouse and utility room. Didn't sleep, just turned off the lights.They were whispering in the dark, their voices were very low. With Baili Mingyan's ear strength, he had to press his ear against the door to hear a little voice, but it was difficult to hear the specific content of what he said.

However, Baili Mingyan was a little surprised by this discovery, and after thinking about it, he felt very strange. Most of these people were not from the Jianghu, otherwise he would have been discovered by this time.But why are these people hiding together?Yes, it means "hiding", it seems that they are afraid of something, and everyone cuddles together to seek a sense of security.

Baili Mingyan decided to go back to discuss with Qian Yuhan first, and was about to get up when he heard soft footsteps on the stairs above his head.

For a moment, Baili Mingyan clenched the handle of Xuanyue knife, he held his breath and slowly poked his head out, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the corner of the visitor's clothes.

"What are you doing down here?" Baili Mingyan said to Qian Yuhan who was coming down with his breath.

Qian Yuhan understood without opening his mouth to speak, and raised his finger to point to the kitchen. Immediately, Baili Mingyan also felt empty in his stomach, so he sneaked into the kitchen with Qian Yuhan and searched it. He obviously paid for the hotel, but it felt like a Like a thief.

Since there are people living on the first floor, there must be meals in the kitchen.It's a pity that although there is a lot of food in the store, there is little cooked food. After some searching, the two only harvested three steamed buns, a small jar of sake and a small dish of pickles.

Faced with this shabby dinner, Qian Yuhan suddenly looked a little ugly, but Baili Mingyan was used to eating and sleeping in the open and wandering, so he didn't show much dissatisfaction.The two of them didn't bother to take it upstairs, so they ate two steamed buns with sake and pickles in the kitchen. The meal was cold and chewy for Qian Yu.

Fortunately, the two found boiling hot water in the pot, and Baili Mingyan carried a bucket in his hand, so the two went upstairs lightly.

I was delayed for some time below, and when I returned to the room, it was about to pass, and the two who opened the door and saw the light suddenly frowned.

Qian Yuhan took off his outer robe first, and quickly washed himself with hot water. After lying comfortably on the bed, he asked, "What's going on?"

Baili Mingyan soaked in the icy river water for a long time during the day, and finally got the hot water and started to take off his clothes quickly, saying, "There are no guests on the second floor, just the two of us; the first floor is overcrowded and miscellaneous." Nothing was spared."

Qian Yuhan lay on his back on the bed with his legs crossed, raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "What do you think?"

Baili Mingyan: "These people are not dangerous and should not be from the Jianghu. Although there is no basis, I feel that the people on the first floor are not guests staying at the hotel. They are most likely local people."

Qian Yuhan nodded in agreement: "And judging from the kitchen situation, they should have lived here for a long time, and there are certain rules, and someone organizes and manages it."

Baili Mingyan wiped his body with a hot towel, and his limbs began to stretch slowly. He continued: "Do you think they are afraid of something? People in this town close their doors and hide in their houses at night. What will appear?"

Qian Yuhan was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I just went downstairs to check and heard them talking in the room with the lights off. The sound was like mosquitoes. I could feel their fear and worry. And there are so many people on the first floor, even the grocery room is occupied. Obviously there are not enough rooms. I can’t live there, so why don’t I live on the second floor? I thought about it, and there are two reasons why I don’t want to live on the second floor: first, they dare not live on the second floor because there is something on the second floor; second, for ordinary people The second floor is not very convenient, especially when you are running for your life."

Hearing this, Qian Yuhan turned his head and looked at Baili Mingyan. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a strong and vigorous body, and suddenly forgot the words. He opened his mouth and immediately looked away, coughing twice: "Why did you take your clothes off?"

Baili Mingyan was taken aback for a moment, then he realized it in an instant, and hurriedly explained: "No... no, I fell into the river during the day, and my clothes were all soaked and frozen. It's really too cold..."

Before he could finish speaking, his sight was covered by a coat, Qian Yuhan said: "Put on my coat first, it's cold at night, don't catch cold."

Pulling off his outer robe, Baili Mingyan saw Qian Yuhan's slightly embarrassed appearance, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a low smile, "It's okay, I also brought a set of clothes, I will change them later."

Qian Yuhan ignored him, and continued the previous inference: "I am more inclined to the second possibility, thinking about the situation in the town before, maybe something dangerous will really appear after nightfall, and the people here will gather together This kind of thing will even break into the house, so people choose to live on the first floor so they can escape at any time.”

While talking, Baili Mingyan had already put on his clothes, and put all the semi-wet clothes on the table and chairs to dry, he said: "I am also more inclined to this kind of speculation." After speaking, he walked to the bedside and turned off his Deng continued: "So something is very likely to happen tonight, let's rest for a while before there is any movement in the first half of the night." After speaking, he lay down beside Qian Yuhan, and squeezed people inside.

If the lights were on now, Baili Mingyan would see Qian Yuhan's eyes widen, showing an expression he had never seen before.Qian Yuhan was amazed by Baili Mingyan's brazenness, he couldn't figure out how the upright boy who blushed when he got angry when he was a little teased when he was a child could look so crooked.

Qian Yuhan pushed the person beside him very unwillingly, but as expected, he didn't move, and within three seconds, a low snoring sound started.

Qian Yuhan: "!!!"

Resisting the urge to kick this scoundrel down, Qian Yuhan turned over and moved sideways into the bed, but unexpectedly an arm was on his shoulder and dragged him into an embrace the next second, and then Qian Yuhan's whole body froze immediately as his back pressed against his warm and firm chest.

In the darkness, the corners of Baili Mingyan's lips curled up slightly, and he leaned over and whispered behind Qian Yuhan's ear: "Stop making trouble, and have a good rest." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt above his shoulders to cover the two of them tightly , put his hands gently on Qian Yuhan's tight waist, and cling to his body tightly, until the cool body temperature of the person in his arms was slowly warmed, and he relaxed slowly. After breathing evenly and steadily, Baili Mingyan Only then did he feel relieved, and began to feel glad that he was not kicked out of bed by Qian Yuhan.

After a dreamless night, Baili Mingyan was awakened by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The moment he opened his eyes, Baili Mingyan subconsciously touched the person beside him, but the touch was empty. Baili Mingyan suddenly sat up soberly, his heart was high and he turned his head to see the person by the window. Then the person fell back steadily.He sighed softly, and quickly got up and put on his robe.

The moonlight was very bright, and the moonlight leaking through the window was enough for Baili Mingyan to see Qian Yuhan's situation clearly.He seemed to have just gotten up, with his outer robe casually draped, standing sideways quietly by the window, peeping through the gap in the window, and saw something, frowning slightly, showing a puzzled expression.

"What happened?" Baili Mingyan asked in a low voice.

"Hush..." Qian Yuhan made a silent movement, still staring out of the window intently.

Baili Mingyan was puzzled, and also leaned over.From this direction, they could only see the street behind the inn. They saw a few figures wandering on the street at this time. These figures seemed to be ordinary people in their clothes, but their limbs seemed to be a little stiff, and they swayed in a very strange way. Weird posture, besides, wandering aimlessly in the street at this time is weird enough.

As if aware of Baili Mingyan's doubts, Qian Yuhan pointed to the direction of the corner of the street, and Baili Mingyan frowned after looking along for a while.There was obviously a person lying on the corner of the street. Although it was far away, Baili Mingyan intuitively felt that this person was the source of waking him up. To a large extent, this person fell from upstairs and died on the spot when his head hit the ground.

But the strange thing is that the people wandering all over the street turned a blind eye to this, and Baili Mingyan even saw one or two people step over the corpse.

After the two observed the time for a stick of incense, Qian Yuhan gently closed the window.

Baili Mingyan: "It's too strange."

Qian Yuhan: "Yes, these people are too strange."

Hearing that Baili Mingyan and Qian Yuhan looked at each other in the night, they said in unison: "Unconscious!"

Both of them froze for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

The next second, there was a loud knock on the door downstairs. It was not so much knocking as it was smashing. The sound was as dense as a drumbeat. It was obviously not the result of one person. It seemed that more than a dozen people were banging on the door of this inn.

The two of them didn't hesitate anymore, each raised their knives and opened the door to go out. The moment they opened the door of the room, the door of the inn, which was already crumbling, was forcibly broken open, and a group of ragged people rushed in.

Unexpectedly, at some point, the lobby on the first floor of the inn was already full of defensive civilians. They carried machetes, hoes or kitchen knives and sickles, and some women even held spatulas.This scene seemed a little funny, but without exception, each of them had a resolute expression of resignation to death.

As soon as the intruder broke through the door, the people in the inn rushed forward. Although the intruder was unarmed, his strength seemed to be different from ordinary people. He could easily throw a grown man out with one hand.Although they were fully prepared, the gate was broken open and there was a steady stream of intruders joining later, but the people defending the inn fell behind after a while.

Qian Yuhan and Baili Mingyan didn't even need to communicate anymore, they just drew their swords and turned over and jumped down.Qian Yuhan stayed in the house to help the people resist the intruders, while Baili Mingyan closed the door tacitly to block the influx of new intruders, and guarded the door alone.

Seeing that the gate was closed, Qian Yuhan immediately jumped over the heads of the crowd, snatched a commoner's sickle and stuck it in the latch to firmly block the gate.

Dressed in white clothes, Qian Yuhan descended from the sky under the moonlight, like a banished immortal. As soon as Fang landed, he sealed the door and smashed nearly ten intruders with a horizontal knife. The little old man who opened the door was among them.

"You..." The little old man didn't seem to understand the current situation.

Qian Yuhan said loudly: "Don't be in a daze, fight quickly!" Qian Yuhan knew that if the battle was not ended as soon as possible, the sound of fighting would attract more weirdos, and Baili Mingyan might not be able to guard the door by then.

Hearing that the people in the inn all came to their senses, raised their weapons and quickly joined the battle.

During the fight, Qian Yuhan found that these intruders seemed to have no consciousness at all, their pupils were bloodshot and they seemed to have no vision, but their senses of smell and hearing were extremely sensitive, and their strength was twice that of ordinary people. , the attack is disorderly, and it is completely random attack by brute force.Such an attack is indeed difficult for ordinary people to resist, but for martial arts practitioners who are born with martial arts and have a quick response, as long as they grasp the pain points, they can win with one blow.

But the difficulty is that these people seem to be real people, and they seem to be ordinary people in clothes, Qian Yuhan doesn't want to kill.But as time passed, he discovered something that made him a little anxious. These intruders seemed to be completely tireless, and the situation would not be good if it dragged on.

A kick kicked Qian Yuhan back to overturn the intruder who was blocking the door, and turned to the door and called: "Ming Yan!"

There was no response for a while, Qian Yuhan's heart sank slightly, his eyes gradually filled with murderous intent, and he turned his head and said sharply: "What's the matter with these people? Can you still wake them up?!"

At this time, there were six strong men left among the people in the inn who were still insisting on fighting. A strong man with a bald head heard Qian Yuhan's subtext, and immediately replied: "Heroes keep people under the sword. They are all my compatriots. This is the reason why the disease is like this, it should be curable!"

Since it was confirmed that it was an individual, there was a solution, Qian Yuhan swiftly moved behind one person, and hit that person hard on the neck with the handle of the sinking fish knife. The person who was hit only stayed for a second or two before falling limply up.Seeing that this trick was effective, Qian Yuhan followed suit and knocked down seven or eight of them in an instant, and the six strong men also knocked out a few of them together like cats and tigers. About a quarter of an hour later, all the dozen or so intruders were knocked down.

"Tie them up just in case!" Qian Yuhan ordered.

Hearing that the brawny men seemed a little hesitant, Baili Mingyan hung on Qianyu Hanji and saw them slowly ignited for a while, and repeated loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, tie them up first!"

The bald-headed man stepped forward and explained: "Young heroes don't know something. They are fainted now but will wake up soon. The rope can't be tied at all. When they see a living person, they jump up and bite their teeth... They Still, still..."

Qian Yuhan frowned: "What else?"

The bald man: "Drinking human blood! They attack people to suck blood."

Qian Yuhan was taken aback for a moment, then said immediately: "If you can't be killed, if you can't be tied up, what should you do?"

Bald head: "We can only let them go, and they can't see the sun. We once caught a child. The child was weak and couldn't break free from the rope, but when he was exposed to the sun during the day, he burst into blood and died. .”
