Bai Yanqing and his party finally arrived at Biluo Town before dark.
Biluo Town is not a big town, with only a few hundred households in total. It is the kind of small town that can be seen at a glance.
Doctor Hua seemed to be very familiar with Biluo Town. After entering Biluo Town, he took Bai Yanqing and the others to find a shop that could replenish items as quickly as possible.
The shop was not big, but the items inside were quite complete, including food and everything needed. Yuan Jun and Ling Yu quickly bought all the supplies they needed on the road.
The sky was getting dark, and it was almost nightfall, so Bai Yanqing suggested that they might as well rest for a night in Biluo Town before setting off on the road. After all, they had been traveling for several days, and not only were they tired and exhausted, but also they had been traveling for several days.
Even the horses were too tired to run!
Doctor Hua looked a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to stay in Biluo Town for a moment longer!
"That's it!"
Bai Yanqing made this decision with a wave of her hand! She didn't care what Doctor Hua was worried about! Anyway, she couldn't bear to let everyone suffer!
Doctor Hua found the inn himself. He seemed to be very familiar with everything in Biluo Town.
This small inn is located at the end of the town. Compared with the luxurious and luxurious inns in the town, this inn looks extremely simple and inconspicuous.
That's all, if the accommodation conditions are bad, then it's better! For Bai Yanqing and the others, it's enough to have a place to sleep that is sheltered from the wind and rain. After all, they are not out for fun.
"The waiter has already taken the horse to the stable to feed the grass! Tonight, you guys go to bed early, and we will set off early tomorrow morning!"
Doctor Hua found the shopkeeper and opened two upper rooms. Bai Yanqing, Cai Xing and Yuan Li shared one room, and he and Ling Yu shared one room. The reason why there were only two rooms was not to save money, but actually for everyone.
Bai Yanqing and the other three are also aware of this, so they have no objection!
"Remember, after you enter the house, never come out again! No matter what happens, don't step out of this room again before dawn tomorrow morning!"
Doctor Hua seemed worried and couldn't help but give one more instruction!
Bai Yanqing and the other three nodded in agreement, and then Bai Yanqing saw Doctor Hua and Ling Yu entering the room. With a "bang", the door of their room was closed! Seeing this, Bai Yanqing pursed her lips and didn't think so.
meaning.
Although the inn is a bit small, the guest rooms are tidy and spotless. Bai Yanqing and the others are quite satisfied.
"Waiter, serve us some food!"
Bai Yanqing ordered the waiter downstairs. After a long day's journey, no matter how tired you are, you still have to eat dinner.
"Okay! Wait a moment, sir, the food will be here soon!"
The waiter responded enthusiastically, then ran to the kitchen.
While waiting for the meal, Bai Yanqing was a little bored. She opened the back window of the guest room and looked into the distance in the night. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. Bai Yanqing was a little uninterested. She thought there was someone in Biluo Town.
What's so special about it? I never thought about it. It's just like other towns in other places, there's nothing special about it! So why on earth can Doctor Hua avoid it so much?
Bai Yanqing is puzzled!
Not long after, the waiter came up with the food. He knocked on the door politely, and then carefully placed the food on the round table in the room.
"Sir, please close the window quickly!"
The moment the waiter raised his head, he saw Bai Yanqing leaning against the window, looking out, and he called out in a hurry!
Bai Yanqing was puzzled, and was about to ask the reason, but saw the waiter stepping forward, and then heard a "bang" sound, and he closed the window with force! Look at his frightened appearance, I don't know
People, I thought there was some savage beast outside this window!
"Why is this?"
After the waiter had regained his breath, Bai Yanqing frowned and asked.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. Our Biluo Town is not clean at night..."
Xiao Er was chattering and gesticulating towards Bai Yanqing.
According to what the waiter said, in their Biluo Town, once night falls, the whole town has a curfew! Every household is closed and no one dares to go out! This is why there is no restaurant that can stay all night long in the entire Biluo Town.
!
Fortunately, Dr. Hua was here. He was familiar with the rules of Biluo Town and took Bai Yanqing and the others to stay in this inn before it was completely dark! Otherwise, they would all have to
He was driven out of Biluo Town overnight!
"Not clean? What's not clean?"
Caixing's face was full of doubts and confusion. She had not yet figured out what the waiter meant by these words!
Upon hearing Cai Xing's words, the waiter was so frightened that he quickly shut up! Then he exited while muttering: "Nothing is taboo..."
The three people in the room felt a little uneasy after hearing what the waiter said.
"How about... let's go next door and ask Old Man Hua?"
Bai Yanqing suggested.
Cai Xing and Yuan Li nodded in agreement! But when the three of them walked to the door of Doctor Hua and Ling Yu's room, they knocked on the door for a long time, but no one responded! Now, the three of them were all confused.
Got it!
Doctor Hua and Ling Yu obviously went upstairs with them, and Bai Yanqing clearly saw them entering the room! But why is there no sound at all now?
"How about... let's ask the waiter?"
At this moment, Cai Xing suggested with a trembling voice.
"This is the only way!"
After saying that, Bai Yanqing turned around and walked towards the stairs. But when she was about to call the waiter, she suddenly found that there was no one in the lobby downstairs!
"Waiter, shopkeeper! Where are you?"
No matter Bai Yanqing shouted for a long time, no one came out! Bai Yanqing felt something was wrong. When she came to her senses again, she suddenly discovered that the stairs leading to the lobby on the first floor were also missing!
Realizing that there was suddenly no movement behind her, Bai Yanqing turned around suddenly, and then she realized that Cai Xing and Yuan Li behind her were gone!
Bai Yanqing's back was covered with cold sweat! The hairs all over her body stood on end!
What on earth is going on?
"Caixing! Yuanli! Where are you?"
Bai Yanqing didn't dare to move rashly, she just stood there and kept shouting loudly! But no matter how loud she shouted, even until her throat was dry and hoarse, there was still no answer!
Bai Yanqing felt fear and despair for the first time!
"Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!"
Bai Yanqing clenched her fists and tried her best to calm down! The nails of her fingers were deeply embedded in the flesh of her palms, but even so, she never came out of this fear!
Dark night, deserted hotel corridor.
Bai Yanqing's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. She closed her eyes and stood quietly, thinking quickly in her mind about what she should do!
That’s it! Instead of running around like a headless fly, it’s better to stay where you are and see what happens. Whether all this is a human or a ghost will naturally come to light!
At this moment, a cold hand touched Bai Yanqing's face, making Bai Yanqing scream in fright!
"ah!"
"Madam! It's me! It's me!"
A familiar male voice!
It’s Yunqi!
After regaining his composure, Bai Yanqing suddenly saw that the person staring anxiously at him was Yun Qi, whom he had not seen for many days!
"Wow... Your Highness!"
Bai Yanqing had never been so excited. She threw herself into Yunqi's arms and hugged his waist tightly! Two lines of hot tears fell down her cheeks! For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was because she was afraid of crying.
, still cried with joy because of seeing Yunqi!
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here!"
Yun Qi raised his hand and gently stroked Bai Yanqing's back, trying to calm her down.
After a long time, Bai Yanqing finally came back to her senses! When she withdrew from Yunqi's arms and looked up again, she saw Yuan Ziyue standing behind Yunqi, staring straight at him with his eyes wide open.
Own!
Bai Yanqing was a little embarrassed, and her cheeks instantly turned red!
"Why am I in bed?"
When Bai Yanqing finally calmed down, she lowered her head and saw that she was on the bed! She was clearly in the corridor just now!
When she thought of this, Bai Yanqing quickly opened the quilt and walked to the window. Pushing hard with both hands, she opened the window. The sun was already shining brightly outside! The sun was in full bloom!
"What time is it now?"
Bai Yanqing turned around suddenly and asked Yunqi.
"It's time!"
Yun Qi's heart skipped a beat when he saw Bai Yanqing's expression was different.
"Sishi? How could it be already Sishi? Where is Yuan Li? Where is Cai Xing? Where are Doctor Hua and Ling Yu? Where are they?"
Bai Yanqing's series of questions made Yun Qi's brows knit deeper and deeper!
When Yun Qi arrived here, he saw no one else. The reason why he knew Bai Yanqing was here was because the secret guard he sent told him.
"When Ziyue and I arrived here, we didn't see anyone else!"
Yun Qi was also confused when he thought of this! He clearly ordered Yuan Li to guard Bai Yanqing's body every step of the way!
"Oops!"
Bai Yanqing put on her shoes in a panic, then turned around and ran downstairs!
The stairs are still there!
When Bai Yanqing stepped on that staircase, her heart panicked again! The old wooden stairs made a "squeaking" sound when she stepped on them!
It was obviously the same staircase as last night, but Bai Yanqing felt a little flustered for no reason. She felt like something was wrong!
Seeing Bai Yanqing running out in a panic, Yun Qi hurriedly followed her, fearing that something might happen to her again!
"What's wrong?"
Yun Qi ran out and saw Bai Yanqing standing there dumbly on the steps of the stairs! So he couldn't help but ask.
"This staircase..."
Bai Yanqing stared at her feet blankly, her eyes a little frozen.
Seeing Bai Yanqing's nagging look, Yun Qi intuitively felt that something was wrong! Several people clearly set out on the road together, so why was Bai Yanqing the only one left now? Not only that, looking at Bai Yanqing's condition, it seemed a little abnormal!
"What happened?"
Yun Qi finally couldn't hold it back and reached out to shake Bai Yanqing's shoulders!
"They...are all gone!"
Bai Yanqing turned back blankly, her eyes empty. When she turned back to look at the lobby downstairs, there was still no one!
"Your Highness, when you came here, did you meet that the innkeeper also has a waiter?"
After Bai Yanqing regained consciousness for a moment, she asked Yun Qi.
"No, I opened it room by room! But... the entire inn, except Miss Bai's room, the rest of the guest rooms are all empty!"
Yuan Ziyue looked at Bai Yanqing, and then said truthfully.
When Yunqi and the others first arrived, they were also surprised as to why Bai Yanqing stayed in such an empty inn?! But the lobby of the inn was clean and looked like it had been cleaned, and it didn't look like it had been untouched for a long time.
look!
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing raised her feet and ran towards the backyard of the inn.
In the stable, the horses were chewing licorice material leisurely.
"The horses are still there!"
Bai Yanqing shouted excitedly, she had not dreamed, the horse was indeed still there, it was their horse!
The two Yunqi people who followed them looked at the slightly messy stables and looked at each other!
The whole inn looks fresh and refreshing, with bright and clean windows, but the stables are a bit weird and messy!
"Madam, please tell me in detail what happened after you entered Biluo Town yesterday!"
Yunqi looked at everything in front of him with a solemn expression!
How could so many living people disappear without any reason?
