Chapter 12: The couple join forces


As time passed, I gradually became anxious.

I seemed to hear the sound of light footsteps in my ears.

Is the proprietress of the inn already back?

Maybe she is looking for me.

I frowned, knowing I couldn't disappear for too long.

Looking at the person on the bed, I gently touched her hand: "Mingzhu, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you."

After saying that, I quickly left the guest room and returned to the original room.

As soon as I sat down, the landlady came over, holding a tray with hot food in her hand.

There was a warm smile on her face: "You've been waiting for a long time."

The dishes and chopsticks were arranged and the food was put away.

"Come on, girl, eat quickly.

It will get cold later."

How can I dare to eat food cooked by a dead person, let alone someone who has been dead for hundreds of years?

I felt uncomfortable but didn't dare to show it, so I had to pretend to pick up the chopsticks and take a bite of rice.

Looking at the lovely snow-white rice, it tastes like grains of sand in my mouth.

When my tongue clicked in my mouth, I swore I bit some pebbles.

"Is the food delicious?"

the innkeeper's wife asked eagerly.

I answered vaguely: "Yeah, not bad."

I picked up another piece of sloppy pork.

After chewing it for a few times, it was like a puddle of mud sticking to my taste buds, and the taste was indescribable.

I was born in an orphanage, so I am by no means a person who cannot endure hardships, but to be honest, such meals make it extremely difficult to swallow.

She stood on the edge and watched me eat.

Although she didn't raise her head, she could feel that strangely passionate gaze staring at me.

I can't even move my hands or feet.

After finally finishing the small bowl of rice, the lady boss took the empty bowl with a smile and tried to give me more rice, but I stopped her in time: "No, I'm full."

"The girl has such a small appetite.

No wonder she is so thin."

Her bright eyes looked at me, "It's better for girls to be fatter.

I'm lucky."

She saw that I was very uncomfortable, so she stood up and pretended to help clean up the dishes, while casually asking her: "The store is very busy, by the way, why didn't I see the boss?"

It is inevitable to leave this ghost place with the Pearl.

The first thing to do now is to find out about the enemy.

"He is greeting guests in the lobby."

The landlady said with a shy smile on her face.

Oh, it seems that the couple is in harmony, but as far as I know, there are cracks between even the most harmonious couples.

Looking at her, I had an idea in my mind and pretended to tease her: "The boss lady and the boss have a very good relationship.

The boss must love you very much, ah."

She stamped her foot in a coquettish manner and said with a pinched voice: "Hey, girl, please stop talking."

She took the bowl and chopsticks and left.

When she was almost at the door, she turned back and glared at me shyly, "I hate it."

""I was speechless for a while.

I feel like the goosebumps on my body are standing up.

Thinking that she wouldn't come back so soon, I seized the opportunity and went to the guest room where Mingzhu was.

Just as I walked to the door and was about to push it in, a figure suddenly appeared.

"Why is the girl out?"

I retracted my hand sarcastically, turned around and said, "I'm too full.

Let's go out for a walk to digest, hehehe."

"Oh, really."

The landlady raised her eyebrows slightly and looked behind me.

I have worked in sales and am good at judging expressions and guessing the other person's thoughts through some subtle actions.

She raised her voice when she spoke, and the small movements of her eyebrows and eyes clearly revealed her suspicion of me.

"Of course, the boss lady doesn't believe me?"

I looked straight at her.

The first thing to win a person's trust is to look him or her in the eye.

The eyes should be firm and not dodgeable.

The landlady stared at my eyes for a while, then laughed softly: "Look at what you said, the girl is a guest, how can I not believe it?"

She took a step forward, took my arm, and said as she walked: "I'm afraid that the girl doesn't know the road and goes off the road, disturbing other residents.

You think so?"

She said it beautifully, pressing the button The hand on my arm is surprisingly strong.

"It's my fault."

I forced a smile and said, "I can walk on my own."

I tried to pull my arm back, but she held me tightly.

I raised my head and frowned: "What are you doing?"

The landlady sneered: "Look, she still thinks we are fools."

I was stunned, who was she talking to?

Suddenly, a man came out from behind me, wearing the same late Qing robe, dark gray cloth shoes on his feet, half of his head shaved, and a thick braid hanging down his back.

It was the man in the photo, the owner of this weird inn.

The boss walked to the boss's wife, and the two stood together, side by side, with the corners of their mouths curled together, but there was a cold look in their eyes.

The landlady asked quietly: "She knows."

I backed away silently, pretending to be ignorant: "I don't know what you are talking about."

The boss sneered: "Still pretending to be stupid."

He pointed at the guest room, "I saw you come out of it with my own eyes."

"You're talking nonsense.

Your wife clearly said you were in the lobby.

In that case, how do you know what happened here?

You were the one who lied."

I retorted to gain time and moved my feet.

With a bang, the boss stepped over, put his palm on the door, and stared at me coldly: "It's too late to leave."

I was startled, so I raised my foot and kicked him hard.

Before the shoe touched him, he turned and disappeared.

In a panic, the door was pushed open, and I stumbled back into the house.

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

Before I could stand still, the landlady's face came up to me, which made my heart tremble with horror.

She waved her hand and slapped her, bang, it hit me hard.

The landlady was blinded, and then ran toward me angrily: "You little bitch, I'm going to kill you."

I dodged all the way and stepped back step by step.

When I reached the table and chair, I was about to reach out and move one to use as a weapon.

Before my hand even touched the chair, someone squeezed it tightly.

When I turned around, the boss who had just disappeared appeared in front of me again. behind.

"Let go."

I was anxious and scared.

He was too strong and I couldn't get away.

The angry landlady over there was approaching again.

I was in a dilemma.

I gritted my teeth, strangled his neck with my backhand, and pushed him forward with all my strength.

Rush forward.

"Ahhhhhhh" The landlady looked panicked, and her feet seemed to have lost their way.

The moment she hesitated whether to go left or right, I exhausted all my strength and was turned over by the boss with great force, and I was thrown out.

"Uh" His body hit the wooden bed and bounced back, finally falling heavily to the ground.

I was so dizzy from the fall that I tried my best to stand up and look at the unhappy couple.

"Hmm" The sleeping beauty on the bed let out a cry, causing everyone to stop moving.

The beauty with black hair and fair skin, her long wavy hair spread behind her, covered her head and sat up.

When she saw me, she showed a surprised expression: "Xiao Huan, why are you here?"

"Hi."

I propped myself on the edge of the bed and greeted her bitterly.

"Where is this?"

Mingzhu looked around in confusion.

She paused when her eyes swept over the couple, and there was a hint of slowness in her tone.

"You look so familiar.

I feel like I have seen you somewhere before."

I tried to stand up, but I felt sore all over.

I couldn't help but curse in my mind, "Didn't I become transparent?

Logically speaking, it should be the same as air.

I don't feel anything."

Mingzhu only thought about it for half a minute, and she immediately realized: "Ah, you are in the photo."

Halfway through her words, she grabbed my hand with a surprised expression, "Xiao Huan, what on earth is going on here?"

What's going on makes me want to cry.

I want to know too
