After everyone solved the man in black, they continued to move forward, but their faces were full of solemnity. What they did not expect was that they would encounter such a thing before returning to the Lin family, although they were not sure.
Who did it, but they always feel that there is a black hand controlling it secretly, which makes their move forward full of a sense of crisis.
The carriage continued to move forward, but a few people did not speak anymore. They just observed the surroundings vigilantly, for fear of any unexpected surprise attack. Even Cangnu did not dare to slack off a little. He expanded his spiritual awareness to the maximum and always paid attention to the surroundings.
trend.
Time passed quickly, and it was already evening. Cang Nu and others stopped on their way. At this time, they had arrived at the city where the Lin family was located, but they were only in the outer city because the city gate had been closed, so they had to search in the outer city.
In a remote inn, the innkeeper was settling accounts with his head down, looking bored.
This boss is slightly fat and not tall. He looks rosy, but his eyes are very small. Especially when he smiles, his eyes narrow into slits. There is some fat on his face, but it is not particularly obvious. When he sees Cang Nu
When people arrived, he greeted them with a smile, which made people think he was very kind.
"Are these guests staying in the hotel?" the boss said enthusiastically, but it's no wonder that he has very few guests here. The number of guests in a day can be counted on the palm of a hand. This shows that his business is
It's so deserted. Although there is only one shop outside the city, most of the customers live in the city, and almost no one patronizes his small shop.
"Yes, boss, what are the prices of the guest rooms here?" Seeing that he spoke quite calmly, Cang Nu was polite.
"There are three classes of people, heaven and earth. Each room in the sky-shaped room is fifty gold coins, each room in the earth-shaped room is thirty gold coins, and each room in the herringbone room is fifteen gold coins. However, here, I refuse to bargain, and no credit is allowed. How many gold coins are there?
Sir, which one do you want to stay at?" The boss's eyes kept moving around, looking at the people carefully.
"What, it's so expensive. In the city, the best guest room only costs three gold coins. It's too dark here." Nangong Xiaoya immediately jumped out and angrily accused the boss, even though she was a member of the Seven-Star Holy Sect.
The eldest lady, but he was not a fool. She immediately understood that this was a black shop.
"If you think it's expensive, you don't have to live here. What are you talking about? You still want to live in a hotel if you don't have money. Isn't this a dream?" When the boss heard this, he immediately became unhappy. The business was not good in the first place. If
If it's not expensive, how can he survive?
"Who said I have no money? Let me show you today, what does it mean to be rich? It's not a problem for me to buy this shabby shop like yours." Nangong Xiaoya felt even more uncomfortable. He dared to laugh at her for having no money. She
He took out a gold card and threw it on the counter. The boss's eyes were straight, staring at the gold card and never moved again.
"I'm sorry, my guests, they are too young to recognize the truth. Don't blame me for offending you. I will prepare the best rooms for you to ensure your satisfaction." The boss's expression changed instantly.
Much more respect.
"Guests, would you like to have something to eat? My wife is in the kitchen and can make some simple meals for you." The boss said cautiously, for fear that Nangong Xiaoya and the others would be unhappy. In his opinion, these few guests
They are definitely not ordinary people, at least they are rich people.
"Okay, hurry up, I'm starving." Nangong Xiaoya rubbed her stomach and said, indeed, they had been traveling for a day, so they must be hungry.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." At this time, a middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen. She had an average appearance but a good figure. She didn't speak, but just winked secretly. The boss immediately understood.
, this scene happened to be seen by Shi Ming, and he immediately understood that the couple was going to do some murder and swindling, but Shi Ming didn't say anything and continued to observe.
After a while, the hot meal was brought to the table by a middle-aged woman. Lin Han checked it carefully and found that there was no poison, so he started eating with everyone else.
It has to be said that this middle-aged woman is quite good at cooking. Although it is just a few simple vegetables and meat, she made it very delicious, which made several people couldn't help but praise the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman simply smiled and said nothing.
Then, the boss and the middle-aged woman came to the back kitchen, where their conversation could not be heard by others. The middle-aged woman seemed very dissatisfied, and the boss also looked embarrassed.
"Promise me, please don't do it again. I beg you. Although our daughter is seriously ill, you can't do such a heartless thing. Do you know? My heart is very sad.
Uneasy." The middle-aged woman said with tears in her eyes.
"I know it's wrong to do this, but look at that girl who suddenly took out 10,000 gold coins. This is a timely help for us. I promise, this is the last time." Although the boss felt a little guilty,
However, for the sake of his daughter, no matter how bad his life is, he cannot let his daughter suffer. His daughter's illness has been delayed for too long. If this continues, she will definitely die. Therefore, the boss is determined to
Do this even if you get a reputation.
After Lin Han and others finished eating, they said hello to the boss and went to bed. Everyone was very tired after a long day's journey. Even Cang Nu fell into a deep sleep. Only Shi Ming could not fall asleep tossing and turning.
, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, so he began to meditate and practice.
In the middle of the night, the boss tiptoed to the room where Shi Ming and others lived. At this moment, the room was very quiet, and he could detect the slightest movement. The boss lit a stick of incense, opened a crack in the room, placed it at the door of the room, and waited.
onset of drug effects.
At this time, Shi Ming was not asleep yet. He smelled a scent. He understood that the boss wanted them to fall asleep, so Shi Ming held his breath and did not make a sound. The duration of this scent was about three hours.
, that is to say, without an antidote, it will take three hours for them to wake up.
After half an hour, the boss estimated that the medicine had taken effect, so the boss took a dagger, opened the door, and entered the room where Nangong Xiaoya was. When staying, everyone had a room, and Nangong Xiaoya
He is the richest person. After all, not everyone can afford ten thousand gold coins.
Although the boss's footsteps were very light, how could Shi Ming not notice it with his spiritual awareness? He immediately got up, opened the door silently, and walked behind the boss. Because his footsteps made no sound, the boss did not
Realizing that Nangong Xiaoya was sleeping soundly, the boss clenched his dagger and stabbed Nangong Xiaoya fiercely.
Just when he was about to stab Nangong Xiaoya, a strong hand grabbed the boss's dagger. Yes, it was Shi Ming, but the boss was extremely surprised, but he immediately pointed the dagger at Shi Ming, but...
He was just an ordinary person, so how could he be Shi Ming's opponent? Therefore, Shi Ming snatched the dagger from his hand.
"Why are you attacking us? What is your purpose?" Shi Ming said calmly. He felt that an ordinary person would never be a member of the assassin sect. He actually knew that his boss had evil intentions, but he didn't know why.
, so it is necessary to ask clearly, he never kills good people by mistake.
"Just kill me. I have nothing to say. Since I fell into your hands, I accept my fate. This cannot be changed." The boss did not feel too much fear, but felt relieved and relieved.
"Don't do it. I beg you. I'll tell you the truth. Please let him go. If you really want to kill him, just kill me. I'll pay off his debt." After hearing the sound, the middle-aged woman said
She immediately walked upstairs, and when she saw this scene, she already knew the result.
"You tell the truth first, and then I make a decision. I will never kill a good person by mistake." Shi Ming put the dagger aside and said gently. He could feel the sincerity of this middle-aged woman.
"My daughter was seriously ill. I saw many people, including alchemists. However, those alchemists said that only Guyuan Dan could save my daughter. But the price of Guyuan Dan was too expensive. We bought it.
I can't afford it, that's why I did this. I know what I did was wrong, but my daughter is waiting for me to save her. When I see my daughter in pain, I really hope that I can bear it for her." The middle-aged woman's eyes were filled with tears.
The truth was told 1510 times.
At this time, Shi Ming's originally angry heart gradually calmed down. He understood that the hearts of parents in the world were pitiful. Every parent loved their children deeply, but in different ways. Therefore, he decided to help this couple to cultivate good relationships.
