The child followed the shopkeeper closely, with one hand directly on the shopkeeper's lap.And the shopkeeper didn't seem to notice the existence of the child at all.

Hu Yue said, "Is this the child we are waiting for?"

Chu Jue shook his head and said, "It's not like this, let's take another look."

Soon the shopkeeper personally delivered a plate of fruit and made a pot of tea.But neither Hu Yue nor Chu Jue moved.The two continued to wait, but after waiting for an unknown amount of time, there was still nothing abnormal, the boxes under the table were still inexplicably missing, and the cries of children still came from those private rooms.

Hu Yue said: "It seems that if we don't take this box, the right owner will not appear."

Just as Hu Yue was about to reach out, she was stopped by Chu Jue once.He leaned closer to Hu Yue's ear and said, "Don't worry, it's already here, don't move."

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, everyone in the shop stopped moving, no matter whether it was a drinker or a child.Hu Yue wanted to see what happened, but Chu Jue held his arm tightly. Both of them kept their original movements. Hu Yue sneaked a glance at Chu Jue from the corner of his eyes, and Chu Jue gave a smirk without moving his expression. .It seems that the original whispering action was just to wait until this moment.

Hu Yue couldn't move either, he just stared at the aisle.There were indeed footsteps.

There was constant commotion in the original private room, and there were all kinds of wailing and crying. Many small children's hands stretched out from behind the pearl curtain. Those hands were twisted and ferocious, as if they were trying to grab something.

At this time, some diners suddenly collapsed like a puddle of water, one by one like bursting water bags.

However, those diners who picked up the boxes did not disappear, they were still frozen in their original movements, and those small boxes were also in their pockets. At this time, their bodies began to swell, and things began to protrude from their clothes. He stood up and twisted, as if he wanted to get out of those people's clothes.

Hu Yue was also shocked by the strange scene in front of him, but Chu Jue didn't look at the diners, but fixedly stared at the passage at the door, and there were indeed footsteps coming from there.The footsteps were unhurried, yet suffocating.

The two saw the visitor.It was none other than the old man who gave Hu Yue the warning at night.The old man came slowly, not in a hurry.But every time she took a step, there was another person behind her.She looked at the two of them, walked to the shopkeeper and said, "How many people are there today?"

The shopkeeper looked respectful, and he replied sternly: "How dare you neglect my grandmother's order, the number of people is already full today. It's just..."

The shopkeeper looked at Hu Yue and Hu Yue, and suddenly Hu Yue and Chu Jue found that the child who was holding the shopkeeper's clothes was suddenly behind them at such a speed that neither of them noticed.

And the kid's weird and agile speed made the two of them expect it immediately.And the cloth on the child's face was gone, revealing a strange face, the face was written all over, and the facial features could hardly be seen clearly.I don't know whether it is life or death.

The old man looked at the two, finally set his eyes on Hu Yue and said, "Young Master Hu has met again."

Hu Yue still smiled briskly, he bowed his body and said, "Old lady, indeed we meet again."

The old man said, "I told you that you have a disaster."

Hu Yue looked at the weird child behind him and said, "It seems to be the same thing."

The old man said: "This is not what the old man said."

Hu Yue snorted, and the old man continued to speak: "Don't inquire about 'Yun' any more."

Hu Yue's face changed suddenly, and Chu Jue, who was beside him, noticed his strangeness, and asked, "What's the purpose of the old woman in this game? It's just a warning?"

The old man sneered and said: "Yes, and no, it is not a coincidence that Mr. Hu and Mr. Chu came here. The old man wants you two to stay here."

Hu Yue said, "Oh, why?"

The old man said: "This inn is no longer a place of the mortal world. People who can enter this place are actually attracted, and there is nothing else to attract, that is, the spirits of those children. The spirits are the medium. The souls of these children were collected, so there are so many children's souls in this place because of this matter. I can't guarantee that you two can keep your mouth shut, and if one of you lives here, I can feel a little more at ease."

Chu Jue said, "We are being detained just to keep it secret? What if we refuse?"

The old man still replied calmly: "There is no turning back here. It doesn't matter whether you take the things here or not. Even if the two of you run away, I still have a way to get rid of your soul within seven days. In the end, you still have to stay." here."

The shopkeeper who had been standing by the side lowered his head and interjected, "Grandma, why do you want to keep them? As long as..."

The shopkeeper gave him a look, and the child with words all over his face jumped up instantly.

The old man glared and said: "Presumptuous, since the old man is responsible for this matter, there is room for you to speak."

The shopkeeper shrank his shoulders and returned to his original position, while the kid seemed to be frozen, and suddenly stopped moving.Hu Yue found that the words on his face would automatically transfer.

He looked at Chu Jue, and Chu Jue said, "Don't look, that child died a long time ago. This corpse is controlled by a spell. At this time, a fleshy ball stretched out from the old man's hand. The fleshy ball twisted and moved. But it was vaguely recognizable that it was a human face.

Hu Yue looked at the old man vigilantly, and the old man said: "If you agree, I will not harm you, if you don't agree."

The distorted face twisted even more violently, and a viscous milky white liquid dripped from the old man's hand, but it disappeared without a trace when it fell to the ground.

The old man walked towards the two of them.He said, "Which one of you wants to stay? Have you thought about it?"

Hu Yue looked at Chu Jue, and Chu Jue said, "None of us want to, and we also want to take one thing from you."

The old man was wary of Chu Jue. She could feel the chill emanating from Chu Jue's body. Chu Jue reached out to the old man and said, "I hope grandma can give us back that man's soul."

The old man smiled sinisterly and said: "Since he took my box, he will naturally be targeted by my child. No matter how powerful he is, he will still be drawn out of his soul. Now it is a foregone conclusion, you ask I want people, but I can't give them."

As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly appeared from one of the original people.He touched his neck, as if there was an invisible thread on his neck, he screamed in pain: "Old fox, Lord Hou, save me quickly."

Hu Yue laughed, and Chu Jue also stood up together.The old man was stunned, and Xuan Mingzi took a difficult step from behind him towards the table where Hu Yue was.

Hu Yue smiled slightly and said, "Ah, my friend, you are really in a mess."

Xuan Mingzi groaned several times, and said, "This time it's all thanks to Lord Chu Jue and Chu Hou."

Chu Jue bowed slightly, and said, "You're welcome."

The old man opened his eyes wide and said, "Why?"

Chu Jue smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Xuan Mingzi's act of abandoning the car to protect his handsome man."

Hu Yue took out the Fuyang Huang in his hand, a point of Fuyang Huang suddenly formed a ball of flame, and flew into Xuan Mingzi's body rapidly, Xuan Mingzi suddenly seemed to have strength, and hurriedly pulled As soon as he pulled his own neck, he heard the screams of children coming from the private room. In the end, he seemed to have torn the rope, and suddenly something exploded in the private room, splashing water from the screen. There was a pool of blood.

The old man looked angrily at Xuan Mingzi, who was also afraid, and quickly backed away, for fear of being cursed again.

Hu Yue said: "Midnight's curse will definitely kill the soul. If this person lacks a soul in the first place, after midnight, the original soul will return to the original body. Then the curse will naturally break without understanding."

The old man pursed his lips, remained silent, and just stared at the three of them viciously.

Chu Jue said: "Since the old woman is running this inn, it is up to you to decide, but the three of us have no intention of staying here for a long time, but please rest assured that the three of us will not disclose things here."

Xuan Mingzi wanted to interject, but Hu Yue held him with one arm, and Hu Yue still smiled and said, "Indeed, I also assure you."

Seeing the two of them like this, Xuan Mingzi immediately made an oath: "I also promise not to disclose this matter, and I ask grandma to hold you high."

The old man squeezed both hands, and the things in her original hands disappeared instantly. She stood there and said, "In this case, then I will let you go, but the old man has something to say first, if you reveal the slightest secret here from your mouth, then next time , you are not so lucky."

The shopkeeper still bowed his head and stood behind the old man, but the child who was threatening the two of them suddenly squatted beside the old man's legs. The old man lowered his head and touched the child's head, and the child nodded.

At this time, the three of them got up to say goodbye, walked out of the inn, and looked back but there was no trace of the inn.It's just that there is a willow tree in the depths of the alley, and a piece of rag is hung on the willow tree. The handwriting on the rag can be seen by appointment. It is a flag of an inn.

After coming out, Xuan Mingzi let out a big breath, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

Hu Yue sighed and said, "Luck."

Chu Jue was still looking at the willow tree, and he said, "Maybe there is another meaning."

Hu Yue looked at where he was looking, Chu Jue smiled slightly and said, "You don't believe me, dear brother?"

Hu Yue shook her head and said, "I don't believe it, it's just really hard to imagine."

Chu Jue said: "It's really hard to imagine, meeting the fetus god."

Seeing the two people looking at him suspiciously, Chu Jue explained: "The old woman is the famous fetal god, she can protect the fetus, but also abort it. This life depends on her will."

Hu Yue blinked and said, "Then why is this so?"

Chu Jue said: "I'm going to ask her about it. But it seems that she has taken in a lot of unowned child souls. Without this place, they would have nowhere to rely on, and they would soon be scattered."

Xuan Mingzi said: "That's true. I just mentioned a dead baby who was just born as a mage a few days ago..."

Hu Yue looked up at Xuan Mingzi and said, "Did you fall asleep while sitting?"

Xuan Mingzi's eyes drifted to the distance, and the three of them already understood it in their hearts.only……

Hu Yue didn't bother about Xuan Mingzi anymore, but he frowned and asked, "But why did she want to find me?"

Chu Jue continued: "What does the word cloud mean?"

The three looked at each other, but no one answered the question.Everyone bowed their heads and thought about their own affairs.

Xuan Mingzi said: "Let's go back first, I don't want to stand here again. Since the two of you helped each other, I should treat you to a drink as a token of gratitude. As for Hu... Hu Yue, then Fu Yang Huang should pay me back."

Hu Yue turned to look at Chu Jue and said, "Since Taoist Master Xuanming is so polite, we will stop bothering you, Brother Chu, please."

Chu Jue laughed and walked forward, followed by Hu Yue. Xuan Mingzi still urged Hu Yue to "return to Zhao".It's a pity that Hu Yue's ability to pretend to be deaf and dumb has long been perfected.

After the three of them left, a light suddenly appeared under the willow tree, and there stood two people under the willow, still the two maids.They chuckled, and then disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Only one willow leaf remained, falling to the ground.
