All night

In that time and space, no one unified the weights and measures and unified the currency. The use of silver in trading was also learned from the outside world. The output of silver is not very large. Fortunately, people who cultivate immortals do not need too abundant materials. It has been enough for Xin Wan to eat alone for ten years.

There is no rule among Immortal Sects to give gift money on birthdays. Xin Wan and Qin Zhiran could have brought nothing, but Feng Jing considered that the two of them might need money for accommodation, so she gave it to them very considerately. Some loose silver.

A total of five taels.

Xin Wan had already eaten some of the snacks, so she had to save them for the hotel.

As a result, such a jar of wine costs five taels.

Xin Wan said calmly, "Actually, this is not the first time I've drank wine from your house. Some time ago, the young master of the Lu family sent a young man in black to fetch the wine. I don't know if the boss still remembers it. "

Qing Yuan let out an "ah", stood up and saluted, and said: "It turns out that the young master is a friend of our young master, I'm sorry."

Xin Wan thought that you were so disrespectful and didn't see that you raised the drink price, so she continued to talk nonsense: "The boss is so polite, we are... the disciples of Xuanshuimen, and we have a deep friendship with the young master of the Lu family. Last time he sent someone to come To fetch wine is to entertain us, I am addicted once I drink it, so I came all the way this time, I want to taste this worldly taste again."

The corners of Qin Zhiran's eyes twitched, knowing that he was probably doing something embarrassing by pretending to be a disciple of Xuanshuimen, he was not good at cheating, so he subconsciously turned his face away and looked out of the dark window.

"So that's how it is, that's how it is." Qingyuan said earnestly, "Then I'm really honored...Young master has always taken care of my family's business, and he is also very tasteful in the wine of the four seasons. I make pear blossoms every spring and grapes in summer, and store them in the cellar. It can be drunk after one year, and the young master is always the first one to come when the new wine comes out of the cellar."

He babbled a lot about Lu Qingchi's evaluation of the wine, but he never mentioned the money.Finally, Xin Wan brazenly said: "Since this is the case, it will be easy to handle. Before we came, the young master of the Lu family also mentioned that the old man had a birthday in the past few days and he had no time to go down the mountain to taste wine. The young master of the family took the two altars to Lujiafeng, please trouble the boss to keep an account."

He remembered that when Lu Changying asked Xiao Liyu to buy wine and vegetables, he only mentioned one sentence in the name of the young master of the Lu family, just report his name. It can be seen that no one under Zhu Mingfeng dared to impersonate at will, so the boss would not be suspicious.

Sure enough, Qing Yuan had no doubts, and immediately went to pick up two more jugs of wine, tied them with straw ropes and carried them, and watched them leave with great gratitude.

Qin Zhiran was speechless for a long time, and finally choked out a few words: "Eat and drink for nothing."

Xin Wan said: "The Lu family has a big business, so they probably won't notice that there is an extra 15 taels of silver in the young master's account." They walked through the long street and turned a corner, seeing that it was impossible for Boss Qingyuan to see them, Xin Wan So he squatted down and poured the wine from the jar into the bamboo jug in his spare time.

"..." Qin Zhiran was completely speechless. After Xin Wan poured out one jar, there was another jar that couldn't be poured down, so he had to carry it in his hand, and sighed, "That one can hold three hundred catties at most..."

Qin Zhiran naturally didn't understand what he was talking about, so he just said, "Look for an inn."

It was late, the crescent moon was in the sky, and all the residents under Zhu Mingfeng turned off their lights one after another. Gradually, there were only a few shops that were probably going to be open until late at night and there were still some lights. Therefore, the inn was easy to find, and the two paid the rent. , Qin Zhiran moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Xin Wan smiled and said, "It's okay, anyway, even if something happens, I'll be right next door to you, and I'll call."

Qin Zhiran's ears were slightly red, and they shared a room. He was indeed a little worried that something would happen to Xin Wan alone, but what if he asked about this matter, could he still keep watch for Xin Wan? Xin Wan lives in the same room?Therefore, with Qin Zhiran's character, he was absolutely unable to ask this question, but Xin Wan guessed it at that moment.

Xin Wan tilted her head to look at his ear, and said with a smile, "Thank you, third senior brother, you didn't really bear any grudges against me when those things happened, and the past events have different perceptions depending on your standpoint, and I don't blame you. "

Qin Zhiran coughed, nodded after a long time, and said: "His swordsmanship is very good, I am convinced."

Xin Wan knew what he meant was that Lu Changying beat him to the point where he couldn't fight back in public, and he didn't bear any grudges in his heart, and said, "Hey, don't worry about that, Ye Deng is now in good condition with his left-handed sword, everyone is very happy .”

Qin Zhiran gave a "hmm", and Xin Wan said: "I know you care about me, if you are really worried, why don't we talk to each other until dawn..." Qin Zhiran's face became serious, he walked quickly, and quickly entered the room ,close the door.

"...Why bother! Wine is a gut-piercing medicine!" Xin Wan shook her head and went into her room, took a sip from the bamboo jug, took out a bag of peanuts from her pocket, and chewed them.

Biqinghai is different from Baizhize. Almost the entire living place of Baizhize is floating on the water, but Biqinghai is a huge island in a piece of abundant water, and there are dots of small islands around it. Most of the people live here On a huge island, compared with Bai Zhize, it is very "down-to-earth".

A meandering river flows out of the window of this inn, shining brightly under the moonlight.Xin Wan propped up the window, leaned against the window to look at the night sky and the river, from time to time threw a peanut into her mouth and took a sip of wine.

It seems like a long time ago when I drank and chatted with people like this and looked at the night sky and water.He had even forgotten what he and Lu Changying chatted about that day, most of them were unnutritious things, or he didn't say much in the first place.Because in this kind of quiet time, there is a beloved... the once loved one is by his side, even if he doesn't say or do anything, he is very happy.

But now there is no one around.

Xin Wan closed her eyes to listen to the wind.It was already autumn in Biqinghai, and the weather was much colder than in Bai Zhize. He subconsciously felt that he should hug the bed and wrap him up before going to sleep, so as not to suffer from the wind and cold and get a fever.The previous fever was still powerful to him, and it actually affected his body a little bit, but now he was blown by the gentle evening wind so comfortably that he didn't want to move at all, and finally dozed off gently.

After an unknown amount of time, Xin Wan faintly heard a strange rustling sound in her sleep.He didn't take it seriously, and didn't look specifically for it. Not long after, the sound became louder, and a cold hand suddenly pressed his neck.

Xin Wan woke up with a start, and in front of her was a pale, skinny person who hardly looked like a living person. There was only a pair of eyes with a piercing light, like two ghosts in the night.

It was not a dream.

Xin Wan moved her neck, which was still being strangled, thinking whether she should call Qin Zhiran to come over, and whether she would be killed before Qin Zhiran came over.

The man had already spoken first: "Don't make a sound, I don't want to hurt you."

His voice was also weak as if he was on his last breath, and he would die in the next second.

Xin Wan thought about it again, and felt that his fingers on her neck were indeed not exerting any force, so she nodded.

The man took a few breaths and said, "I'm offended." The hand that was pinching his neck let go and at the same time quickly slid down, touching six or seven big acupuncture points along his neck, collarbone, chest and abdomen.

Xin Wan said, "You didn't hit my dumb acupoint?"

The man glanced at him, it seemed a little strange that he still has such a mental illness to remind the enemy that he should have more dumb points. He covered his lower abdomen with his hands, sat down on the bed with great difficulty, and lay down recliningly, Fang said: "If you dare Loud, you will die immediately, try as much as you want."

Xin Wan didn't know if there was such a secret technique in the world that could restrict people from speaking loudly, but for the sake of her own life, she had to believe it.He was not the kind of person who would feel very humiliated after being controlled by others, so he didn't struggle much at the moment, he just pretended that he was still sitting by the window and blowing the wind.

…After blowing for a while, it was really cold, Xin Wan couldn't help but said, "Excuse me."

The man said "hmm" to indicate that he heard it, and Xin Wan said, "I'm a little cold, can you give me a quilt."

The man opened his eyes that were as fierce as will-o'-the-wisps, and said: "If you can bear it, bear it, I have injuries on my body, and I can't move much."

"Oh..." Xin Wan was quiet for a while and then said, "Can I take it myself." After a pause, she continued, "I don't know any magic or martial arts."

The man could see this too, but Xin Wan still had some thin magical aura on him, so he didn't fully trust him.

Seeing that he was ignoring others, Xin Wan said after a while, "Then close the window for me..."

The man sighed, stretched out his fingers, and hit Xin Wan with strength. Xin Wan felt a slight pain and found that his hand could move. He hurriedly closed the window, feeling that he was finally saved. Blowing, the blowing made my face numb in such a short while.

Once Xin Wan's hands were free, there was nothing else to do anyway, so she continued to drink and eat peanuts.

The man swallowed and said in a low voice, "Give me a drink."

Xin Wan thought for a while, and threw the small wine jar beside her. The man stretched out his hand to copy it, untied the straw rope with his mouth, opened the seal, and drank with his back to the sky.

Xin Wan said, "You only have one hand?"

From clamping him to touching his acupoints to holding the wine jar, this man only used one hand.
