Being a villain is also popular in the world of self-cultivation

"Zhang Er, come out and lead the horse!" Shopkeeper Zhao yelled into the store, and Xiao Er, who was dozing off inside, knocked his head on the table, making a crisp sound.

"Huh? Hey! Here we come!"

Shopkeeper Zhao slapped the dazed Xiao Er on the head, ordered him to lead their horses to the stables, and then welcomed them into the house with a smile on his face.

Under the orange candlelight, shopkeeper Zhao saw their appearance clearly, and he couldn't help being taken aback, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze slightly.

Since they hadn't changed their clothes, the two of them were in a state of embarrassment. There were still many dried blood marks on Shen Wuhuo's body. In addition to his expressionless and cold appearance, he was also tall. People panicked.

Still bringing this child, he probably didn't come to rob. Thinking of this, shopkeeper Zhao felt a little relieved, rubbed his sweaty hands, and asked, "Does the guest officer want to stay in the shop?"

Shen Wuhuo said, "One is the upper room."

"Okay." Although he was a little confused about whether the two were able to pay, shopkeeper Zhao still agreed while turning around and walking towards the row of key chains behind the counter.

The candle on the only table in the small inn hall was already half burned, and the wax oil slipped down the candle body in strands, forming a white wax stain on the table.

Holding Shen Wuhuo's neck, Shen Chi simply looked around the second-floor inn. Hearing Shen Wuhuo's words, he turned his face to him and said, "Two rooms."

Hearing that shopkeeper Zhao froze when he took the key, he looked at Shen Wuhuo with some embarrassment.

Although they don't look like beggars, they look like two rich young masters in distress. If they don't bring money, it's not impossible to take these two children for a night, but the two rooms are a bit embarrassing for him. Candle covers cost money!

Shen Wuhuo turned his head to look at Shen Chi. Under the dim light, he could clearly see the persistence in the other party's eyes. He was startled for a while, and then thought that Shen Chi was not familiar with him at all, so he should not want to live with him. Feeling regretful, but not wanting to embarrass him, he nodded to the shopkeeper, took out a silver ingot and put it on the counter, "Two upper rooms."

Looking at the ingot of silver, shopkeeper Zhao lit up, raised his head to make sure that Shen Wuhuo's expression was the same, quickly took the silver to his side, and shouted with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the two rooms." house!"

The shopkeeper, who was overwhelmed by the windfall, took out the key and sent the two of them to the second floor with a red face.

"Brother, I want this one." Shen Chi turned sideways and pointed to the door at the end of the corridor.

"Little guest officer is really discerning. This room is the one with the best orientation in my store. It is guaranteed to see the sunshine tomorrow morning. The bed and quilt cover are all brand new." Pushing open the mahogany double doors decorated with simple patterns Shopkeeper Zhao introduced with a shy smile, and then his eyes fell on the embarrassed image of the two, "I see that the guest officer seems to have suffered a change, and it is not easy to go out now, if the guest officer needs it, I can help you Go buy some luggage."

The brand-new quilt that shopkeeper Zhao said was not a lie, after all, the inn had never received guests since he took over and opened it, but it is hard to say whether it faces the best, but Shen Chi likes it, and Shen Wuhuo will naturally not refuse.

Looking away from the room with a simple layout, Shen Wuhuo glanced at Shopkeeper Zhao, and threw out another silver ingot with his free right hand, "Two sets of each, thank you."

While Shen Wuhuo was focusing on talking with the shopkeeper, Shen Chi, who was lying on Shen Wuhuo's shoulder, narrowed his eyes, and quietly moved his fingers out of sight of the two.

He didn't move his wrist, his fingers fluttered, forming a few beautiful handprints in an instant.Following the spelling out of the hand formula, it seemed that a few invisible threads were silently sinking into the back of Shen Wuhuo's heart.

[Host, please don't waste your life at will...]

【To shut up. 】

When the system was interrupted, Shen Chi moved his fingers lightly, and his fingertips seemed to flicker with a little dark light, until the two of them finished talking, Shen Chi just stopped.

Not caring about Shen Wuhuo's cold attitude, after getting the other party's consent, shopkeeper Zhao took the money that Shen Wuhuo handed over, bid farewell to the two, and went downstairs with a thump.

Shen Wuhuo didn't seem to be aware of Shen Chi's movements, he put Shen Chi on the bed and sat down, took out the slippers provided by the inn and put them under his feet, and said: "Call me if you need anything, I'm next door."

Shen Chi flicked his legs that were still some distance away from the ground, glanced at the neatly placed shoes on the ground, then turned to Shen Wuhuo, showed a smiling face, and replied obediently: "Okay, thank you, brother."

Shen Wuhuo paused for a moment, then hummed indifferently, which was regarded as a response to Shen Chi.

"Brother." Shen Chi touched his pocket, took out a blue jade pendant about the size of a thumb, held it in front of him with both hands, and looked at Shen Wuhuo with shining eyes, "Brother, this is me. The amulet my mother left me, I give it to you!"

Looking at the small pendant in Shen Chi's palm, Shen Wuhuo's eyes trembled, but he didn't take it immediately, and only asked: "Why?"

"Huh?" Shen Chi raised his head, seeming a little puzzled why Shen Wuhuo asked such a question, opened his eyes wide and replied earnestly: "My mother said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring, and my elder brother took care of me when I was sick. To give thanks."

I don't know if it was Shen Chi's illusion, he seemed to feel that after he finished speaking, Shen Wuhu smiled?But when he took a closer look, he found that the other party was still indifferent.

"I'll keep it safe." Shen Wuhuo took the pendant from Shen Chi's hand and put it in his arms, said lightly, "Let's rest earlier." Then he turned and went out the door, walking very calmly.

As soon as Shen Wuhuo left, Xiao Er knocked on the door. He was holding a cup of steaming rice porridge in his hand. When he saw Shen Chi, he was stunned. He didn't expect this little guest to be so good-looking. After shaking his head, he said after a while: "Guest officer, your porridge has arrived."

Shen Chi never ordered porridge, nor did he say that he was hungry, so it goes without saying who ordered this porridge.

Shen Chi pointed to the table in the middle of the room, and said to Xiao Er: "Let's put it there."

After Xiao Er left, Shen Chi maintained the obedient expression in front of Shen Wuhuo and looked at the somewhat crude mahogany door for a while, and after confirming that it would not be opened again, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a A smile that was so brilliant that it sent chills down the spine.

The smiling face was fleeting, and soon Shen Chi returned to his usual expressionless face. He jumped off the edge of the bed lightly, without even looking at the pair of shoes that Shen Wuhuo touched just now, and stepped barefoot on the somewhat cool shoes. On the wooden floor, he walked to the door and put his hand on the latch.

There was a crisp sound when the door was locked, after thinking for a while, Shen Chi took out another spirit stone from the storage bag, and after setting up a magic circle in the house, the nerves that had been tense all the way finally relaxed He rubbed his sore arms, glanced at the hot porridge on the table, sneered, bypassed it, moved a stool under the window sill, then turned around and blew out the candles in the room. Into darkness.

Seeing the darkness in Shen Chi's room, Shen Wuhuo returned to his room, sat at the table, took out the jade pendant from his bosom, held it up to his eyes as if he had found a treasure, and looked at it carefully for a long time, Only then carefully took out a red rope, strung it up, and hung it close to his chest.

After bidding farewell to the two brothers, shopkeeper Zhao went downstairs to the corner of the stairs, happily took out the silver given by Shen Wuhuo from his chest, and weighed it. If you wear a good dress, you have to have a couple of leftovers!

Plus the one or two taels of silver that I just stayed at the store... Shopkeeper Zhao put his chubby palm on his heart, and took a deep breath.

This means that even if there are no more guests in the future, the inn can last for another half year!

Wiping the sweat from excitement on his forehead, shopkeeper Zhao went back to the counter, opened the drawer, carefully put the two ingots of silver in a red cloth wrap, took out four strings of copper coins from the inside and put them in his pocket. He locked the drawer, put the key in his pocket, and just took two steps, he came back worriedly, found a lock from another unlocked drawer, and locked another lock on the drawer where the money was placed.

Instructing the good Xiaoer to keep an eye on the shop, shopkeeper Zhao went out with a lantern.In order to live up to the five taels of silver, he still decided to trouble his old friend, and hurried to help the customer buy new clothes.

"Little Er, stay in the shop!"

Not long after Shopkeeper Zhao went out, Zhang Er, who was dozing off, was suddenly awakened again. When he looked up, he saw a group of young men and women entering the inn, and the small inn suddenly became crowded.

After standing still in the hall, the flamboyant young man in brocade clothes who was the leader waved his hand, and a short young man behind him took a step forward and threw a silver ingot in front of Xiao Er, "Come five upper rooms! "

Zhang Er glanced at the silver ingots on the table, his face full of perplexity, "I'm sorry, guest officer, our shop is too small, there are only six upper rooms in total, there are other guests today, and there are only four rooms left, I don't know how many can you please?" Discuss about taking two people to live together? The bed in the upper room is still very big."

Hearing this, the scene immediately became noisy.

"How can four rooms be enough? There are five of us!"

"I'm not used to living with other people."

"I want to live alone!"

Let’s talk about shopkeeper Zhao finally cutting down the price, holding the remaining bunch of copper coins, humming a tune and holding four sets of new clothes and trotting all the way to his inn, just as he was thinking about buying a few new tables for the inn tomorrow. At that time, he suddenly heard a loud noise, which came from his own shop, and he quickly quickened his pace.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Er standing in the corner with sweat all over his face, and then several eyes fell on him. The chubby body of shopkeeper Zhao who had run all the way couldn't help but startled, and habitually opened his smiling face, "Several But come to stay at the store?"

"You are the shopkeeper of this inn. It's just in time for you to come back." The young man in brocade clothes sat on the stool with one foot on the ground and one foot on the other thigh. , even with a bit of contempt, "There are five of us in our group, and we want five rooms. Your mistress said someone is staying, so go and ask them to make room for us."

Shopkeeper Zhao was in a dilemma, "This..."

The young man tossed up the silver ingot in his hand, "Here is ten taels of silver, and it will be used as a gift for tonight."

Seeing Yinzi, shopkeeper Zhao's eyes lit up, but after looking at it for a while, he tore his eyes away, his face wrinkled into a ball, and he said in pain: "I'm really sorry, guest officer, those two guests came first, Everything comes first, don’t you think so?” When he said this, shopkeeper Zhao seemed to have exerted great strength, he weighed the new clothes in his hands, sighed, and didn’t look at the man again Silver in hand.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to, we will talk about it ourselves!"

Obviously very dissatisfied with the shopkeeper's answer, a shrill female voice sounded, and before shopkeeper Zhao could stop him, several people came upstairs one after another.

At this moment, Shen Wuhuo was just putting the pendant into his clothes, when he heard the door being hammered and banged, thinking that Shen Chi might have rested, the sound was very likely to wake him up, his eyes were full of coldness Shuang stepped forward and opened the door, "What's the matter?"

The small aisle seemed a bit crowded because of several unexpected guests.

The moment the door was opened, the menacing people were shocked by Shen Wuhuo's chilling voice and took a step back. They were at a loss for a moment under the coldness of the other party. Seeing that Shen Wuhuo was about the same age as them They are small and big, but the aura on their bodies is something they can't match.

The leading girl's face was pale, she clenched her fists, her voice stammered, "I, we..."

"I don't know what kind of person lives upstairs. The shopkeeper guards him so closely. It turns out he's just a beggar." A frivolous voice sounded from the corridor. I feel cold for him when I see it.

The boys and girls who came up first made way for him.

Just as Shen Wuhuo was replying, his eyes suddenly froze, and he pushed away the young man in brocade clothes who was standing firmly in front of him, ignoring the clamor behind him, and strode towards the room next door that belonged to Shen Chi.
