[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

After driving for two hours, the car drove into Guiyan Town near Jian'an around Shen's time.Afraid that he would not be able to find a place to stay if he continued on his way, Zhan Zhao found an inn in the town to stay temporarily even though it was still early.

The sky is cloudy today, with heavy rain expected tonight.

After stopping the carriage, Zhan Zhao jumped out of the carriage and called Xiao Er to come and lead the horse.

"Master Ke, are you staying in a hotel or playing a top job?"

"Of course I'm staying at the hotel." Forsythia in the car opened the curtain and came down, "Such a large group of people don't stay at the hotel, so it's possible that they still have to walk at night?"

"What the girl said is true, what she said is true." Xiao Er grabbed the rein of the horse and raised his hand to stroke the horse's neck.

Zhan Zhao took a string of copper coins from his wallet in his pocket, weighed them, and put them in his hands, "I want four guest rooms, prepare meals and drinks, and stay overnight."

"Oh, Mr. Ke, I'm really sorry." Xiaoer didn't dare to take the money, rubbing his hands and smiling, "There are only three rooms left in our small shop."

"Three rooms?" Lian Qiao frowned.

"Yes, how about..." He scratched his head, "The two girls squeeze together?"

Nian Yi and Lian Qiao immediately objected: "Who wants to squeeze her!"

The store clerk had no choice but to turn his gaze to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang: "Then, the two young masters squeeze together?"

Before Zhan Zhao could open his mouth, Bai Yutang immediately frowned, "How can this be done? I'm not in the habit of sharing a bed with anyone!"

"This..." The clerk was in trouble for a while, looking at this and then that, "You can't let the young master and the young lady squeeze together?"

As soon as he spoke, the faces of the four of them were a little strange.

Lian Qiao turned around nonchalantly, "What's the matter? It's a big deal that you can't stop your shop."

"Girl, to tell you the truth." The second half smiled at her half proudly and half respectfully, "This is the only inn in our small town. There is another one on the east side of the town, but that one is even bigger. It’s small, maybe even three rooms can’t be vacated.”

"Then..." She gritted her teeth, "Then let's continue on our way!"

Bai Yutang pulled her back, "Little Cao'er, don't mess around, there is an inn in the middle of the night, so you have to go outside to find trouble?"

"That's it." Zhan Zhao still gave him the money, "I'll make the floor."

Xiaoer was just taking the money, when Nian Yi stepped forward, "It's not like the south here, it's very cold at night, I'll sleep outside."

"It's okay." Zhan Zhao took off the baggage on the car, "It's much colder outside than sleeping on the floor."

"I'm fine, I'm not afraid of the cold, just in case you get sick..."

Before she finished speaking, Lian Qiao whispered beside her: "That's right, she is a ghost, she never sleeps at night, why give her the house, it's not a waste."

"Hey!" Bai Yutang simply dragged her into the inn, pretending to be a threat, "Stop saying a few words, no one will treat you as dumb!"

Forsythia pursed her lips, "I'm not wrong..."

He sighed, "Didn't we agree not to be embarrassed?"

"Why did I embarrass her?"

Fortunately, the mistress took the money and didn't pay attention to what she just said, and led the horse straight to the stable to feed the fodder.

At this time, a breeze blew, and Nian Yi was looking down at the things in the bag, the clouds in the sky were suddenly blown away by the wind, and the sun fell down without warning, making her gasp.

The umbrella was still in the car and she hadn't taken it out. She thought it would rain, but the sun was so scorching right now. She raised her hand to block it, but the back of her hand was sizzling.

Zhan Zhao was slightly startled, and quickly stood in front of her, taking off his robe to cover her.

"Is it better? Go inside the inn first."

Nian Yi bit her lip and nodded, and hurriedly followed him inside.

Among them, Lianqiao and Bai Yutang were talking, when they turned around and saw them, they were startled for a moment.

"You...you look at them!"

"They?" Bai Yutang was quite puzzled, "What happened to them?"

Her eyes almost burst into flames: "In broad daylight, the sky is bright, and they are hugging each other, what a shame!"

Bai Yutang laughed "puchi", shook his head and said, "Just for this?" With an expression of "you are new at first glance", he raised his palm and pressed her small head.

"I've seen it for a long time, you have to get used to it."

"I don't want to get used to it!" Lian Qiao stared at Zhan Zhao and the two angrily, "I really don't understand that Brother Zhan is such a prudent person, but he is so fascinated by this female monster."

"Don't talk nonsense, you are not a monster if you read one."

Taking off the outer robe, seeing Nian Yi still covering his hands, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"

"...No, it just hurts."

"Let me see."

Zhan Zhao carefully rolled up her sleeves, there was a tinge of red on her fair arms, and she could still vaguely see the scars from the previous injury in Taiyuan.Fortunately, there is no serious problem.

At this moment, even Bai Yutang was stunned by his behavior, he smiled wryly after a long time, and thought: This Zhan Zhao is really...

"It's just hot, go back and get some water and apply it."

"Yeah." Nianyi looked down at his arm, turned and went upstairs, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

Zhan Zhao nodded lightly: "Go, I'll call you after dinner."

Outside the inn, Xiaoer came back after feeding the horse, put the scarf on his shoulders, trotted over and asked him, "Master, what do you have for dinner?"

"Three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and one soup, just cook according to what you are good at here."

Hearing this, Lian Qiao hurried over here: "Is there braised hoof?"

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Yes, this is our signature dish."

Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "Then I want a plate! The pork skin must be boiled until it becomes rotten."

"no problem."

Remembering that Nian Yi always eats lightly, Zhan Zhao also added: "Remember to be light."

"Okay, my lord, the food will be here soon!"

Another customer came in from outside the door, the waiter hurriedly cleaned the table and went to greet him.

Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, the three of them each carried their luggage and went back to their rooms to rest and rectify.

The weather in the frontier is unpredictable. It was cloudy and sunny for a while, and the rain fell again in the evening, and it came down fiercely. Soon the rainwater in front of the steps merged into a clear stream, rolling down step by step like a small waterfall.

Zhan Zhao packed his bags and was about to push out the door. When he raised his eyes, he saw Forsythia sitting outside the door watching the rain with his chin resting on his back. His thin and small back seemed lonely in the wind.

"Why are you here alone?"

Lianqiao was startled, turned her head to see him, and jumped up joyfully.

"Brother Zhan!"

"It's windy here, be careful of catching a cold." Zhan Zhao gently persuaded, "Go back to your room."

"Well... I just sit around, the room is very stuffy, it's not fun." She shook her head.

He joked casually: "Having Bai Yutang to accompany you, isn't it fun?"

Lianqiao turned her face away and said uncomfortably, "He? What is he..."

"Forsythia."

"Huh?" She blinked and raised her head.

Zhan Zhao looked down at her, "I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Okay, you say you say it."

"Nianyi... Miss Shi, she is not what you think."

As soon as he mentioned this name, Lianqiao's face collapsed immediately, she put her hands behind her back, and kicked the stones under her feet with her head down.

Seeing her like this, Zhan Zhao felt helpless, and said kindly, "I know you have been taught by your master since you were a child, but all mountain spirits and ghosts are evil thoughts and must be eliminated. But just think about her... Her background is indeed true, In the future, don't go against her for my sake, okay?"

Lian Qiao didn't go to see him, she was dissatisfied: "Why are you all helping her?"

Zhan Zhao hesitated: "I'm not helping her..."

"You protect her in all your words and deeds, and you say you are not helping..." Lian Qiao was halfway through speaking, when suddenly her nose twitched, she turned her head and sneezed several times.

"Wow, why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

The weather is changing, but it rains, and the wind blows like a thorn on the face.

Zhan Zhao sighed, and had no choice but to take off his robe and put it on her body: "I warned you a long time ago, don't blow the cold wind... go back and change into a thick one."

Lian Qiao lowered her head and sniffed her nose, said softly, "Oh."

She was just about to walk sideways, but out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see someone standing behind him, so she couldn't help but tilt her head.Seeing her action, Zhan Zhao subconsciously turned around to look.

Nianyi was standing not far away holding the stairs, looking at this side with an indifferent expression, showing no emotion.

Zhan Zhao's heart shuddered suddenly, and he walked around Lianqiao, the word "Nian Yi" whirled in her throat, and when she was about to say it, she turned around fiercely, stepped upstairs step by step, and there was a "bang" sound. the door.

Lian Qiao trembled following the sound, touched the tip of her nose, quite puzzled, "What's the matter with her?"

Zhan Zhao lowered his eyelids disappointedly, and shook his head.

"fine……"

So, I didn't see her come out until before dinner.

Xiao Er served the food and wine, and went down with the tray.The smell of wine was overflowing, making people's heart itch, Bai Yutang took a pair of chopsticks from the holder, just aligned, looked around and didn't see Nian Yi, he couldn't help being surprised:

"Where's Nian Yi?" He turned to Zhan Zhao, "Didn't you ask her to come down for dinner?"

The latter paused for a moment, then heard Lian Qiao start to move her chopsticks indifferently: "She is a ghost, she will not starve to death if she eats it or not, but if you don't eat this dish, it will be cold."

Zhan Zhao looked up at the door of a room on the second floor, and put down the bowl.

"I'll call her."

There was still no light in the crack of the door, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked lightly.

After a while, I heard her voice.

"Who?"

"...Do you want to eat?"

There was silence for a while.

"I'm not hungry, you eat."

Zhan Zhao secretly sighed: "I asked the store to leave it on the stove for you. If you are hungry at night, remember to eat."

"Ah."

The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs outside the door, Nian Yi turned over from the bed, and the two little ghosts sitting on the quilt with dominoes smeared their heads and said in puzzlement:

"Aren't you happy?"

"I'm not unhappy." She pulled up the quilt.

After finishing playing, Er Xiaogui leaned over to shuffle the cards, "Then why don't you eat?"

Nianyi was facing the wall, staring blankly at the faint light and shadow on the wall, and then unconsciously frowned.

"So he treats everyone so well?"

"Who? You mean Zhan Zhao?" The three little devils peeled the peanuts and brought them to her mouth.

"Well... I won't eat."

"Everyone who knows the ghost below says that he is humble and polite, and treats everyone well...isn't it surprising?" It guessed.

Nian Yi bit her lower lip, didn't speak again, closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, fragmentary pictures flickered like fleeting images, and the rustling voices of two little ghosts could be heard beside her ears, and she frowned unconsciously.Unlike the dream in the dream, there is a jumping flame, maybe it is the bonfire of the Ching Ming Festival, or maybe it is the flame in the brazier, the man's eyebrows are as warm and handsome as the spring breeze under the fire.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I opened my eyes, there were a few new faces beside the bed, and the movement of wiping dominoes became louder and louder.

Nian brushed her hair and sat up, "What time is it?"

Er Xiaogui didn't even look back, "It's almost midnight...this is my Erbing."

"this late?"

She fell asleep in a daze, she was in good spirits now, sat by the bed for a long time, and then remembered that she was hungry.

Nian Yi took out the outer shirt and put it on briefly, combed it with a comb casually, and pushed open the door listlessly.

The moonlit night was silent.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Zhan Zhao sitting downstairs alone, drinking slowly.He was dressed in plain blue clothes, with a sword beside him, and a calm expression between his brows.
