589. They are here to stay overnight.

Fu Yaxuan and others moved forward without a fixed direction or goal. In short, they just followed wherever they went.

That day, they arrived at a small town. It was getting late, people were walking in a hurry, and every passerby had an unspeakable panic on their face.

They walked in a circle, probably because the town was so small that they couldn't even find an inn.

Seeing that it was getting dark and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, Fu Yaxuan and others became anxious. They did not want to sleep in the wild.

"There isn't even an inn, madam, what do you think we should do now?" Lu Qiuhong looked at Fu Yaxuan with resentful eyes.

As the leader of this group of people, Fu Yaxuan had to act wise and mighty at this time in order to convince the crowd.

"I have a way. The few of us are either beautiful or beautiful, so we can just find someone to stay here."

The four masters and disciples of Tang Seng also traveled westward in this way.

"Borrowing? How?" Lu Qiuhong asked in surprise.

"It's a shame that you are still a Jianghu person and you don't even understand this. Just look at me." Fu Yaxuan said confidently.

When the lanterns come on, every house closes its doors, and the pedestrians on the road are no longer visible.

"Why do people in this place go to bed so early?" Han Gao felt something strange when he first arrived here. As for what was strange, he couldn't explain it.

"The same rice feeds hundreds of people, and one place has its own customs. What's so strange about that."

Fu Yaxuan stopped outside a high-walled door. Through the crack in the door, she could see lights and the sound of people talking inside.

She put on her clothes, cleared her throat, and knocked on the door formally.

She knocked once and waited for a long time twice, but no one answered the door, so she had to keep knocking.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and the people inside looked out with one eye and saw four people dressed in foreign clothes. The door opened, and a thick man's head stuck out, shouting: "Are you humans or ghosts?"

"

This sentence completely disrupted Fu Yaxuan's thinking. The plot was not designed in this way. Shouldn't he ask: "Who are you?"

"Donor, the poor monk is polite. The poor monk is a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He passed by the treasure land and wanted to stay for one night..."

Back to reality, this rough guy has a fierce look, as if they are monsters. In fact, there are so many monsters in the world. They are all made up by people to scare people. What's more, how can monsters be so beautiful and charming?

Fu Yaxuan replied seriously: "Of course we are human beings."

"It's not like he's a good person. How can anyone run around at night?" The rough man said with disdain.

"Who stipulates that good people can't go out at night? It's just dark, and everyone is closing the door and going to sleep. What's the fun in life?"

Cui Moyao pulled her clothes behind her and reminded her that they were here to stay overnight, not to quarrel.

"What does it have to do with you if I close the door to sleep?" the rough man replied displeased, and was about to close the door.

Fu Yaxuan quickly held the door with both hands and shouted humbly and politely: "Master, I have something to say. We are passers-by and want to stay overnight."

"inconvenient."

"Sir, is there no inn in this town?" She couldn't be more humble.

"We don't have an inn, so we should stay at Hujiazhuang in front of us." The thick man looked a little impatient and a little scared.

"Where is Hujiazhuang?"

"Go straight ahead to the end of Hujiazhuang and you will see it. Mr. Hu there is a kind man and will definitely take you in."

The rough man suddenly slammed the door while Fu Yaxuan was deep in thought.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Fu Yaxuan was furious as she patted the cold door. Why are there such rude people? She hadn't finished asking yet.

Lu Qiuhong mumbled, "Do you think the people here are weird?"

Fu Yaxuan rolled his eyes at her: "How many people have you met?"

Cui Moyao said: "Let's go to the front and have a look."

It's getting darker and darker, and I can't find a place to stay. I'm afraid I'll have to sleep on the streets. This place is remote and surrounded by mountains. Who knows if there will be wild wolves or other beasts.

The group of people walked forward, and after walking for half a cup of tea, they saw a tall courtyard with two eye-catching characters "Hu Mansion" engraved on the plaque. The style seemed to be that of a wealthy family's mansion.

There are faint lights in the manor courtyard.

As expected, the rough man didn't lie to them. Fu Yaxuan was overjoyed, stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a few pats, someone came to open the door.

The man was trembling and hunched over. When he saw four handsome men and beauties, he felt relieved. He said in an old voice, "What's the matter with you?"

His voice is older than his person sounds.

"Uncle, it's like this. We are passers-by. It's dark when we pass by this town, so I want to stay in your house for one night. Is it okay?" Fu Yaxuan tried his best to keep his tone gentle and polite.

"This... slave family can't be the master. Let me go and report to the master. You guys wait here." After saying that, he closed the door and went to report.

The four of them waited in the dark for a while. Lu Qiuhong was impatient and looked very impatient: "Madam, is he playing tricks on us? There is no reply as soon as he leaves, and he wants us to wait here all night."

"You've been waiting for so long, do you still care about waiting a little longer?" Fu Yaxuan scolded.

In fact, she has no confidence in her heart. She has heard too many things that will never come back. Take those job seekers as an example. The interviewers always ask them to go back and wait for news. In fact, it means to go back and wait for news.

There will be no more news.

What else can we do if we don’t wait? Do we really want to sleep on the carriage all night?

While he was deep in thought, the heavy wooden door creaked open, and the hunched-backed uncle appeared and said in a rough voice: "Guests, our master invites you to come in."

Walking in, Fu Yaxuan realized that the mansion was quite large and looked quiet under the lights. But strangely, all the lanterns in the mansion were blue.

The faint blue light cast a layer of mystery over the entire manor, and when the night wind blew, for some reason, it felt eerie.

The hunchbacked uncle led them inside without stopping and said, "You are right to stay here for the night. Our master is a well-known philanthropist in this town. He has done a lot of work for this town and built bridges."

Pave the way, help the weak and help the poor, and be kind to others."

"Such a good person will definitely be rewarded with good deeds." Fu Yaxuan flattered him with a smile.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, the hunchbacked man's face immediately darkened and he stopped talking.
