"Eventually, I fainted on the side of the road and woke up to this inn.
Sanniang said, looking up at the room, full of infinite emotion.
"It was Lao Yu who saved me, he inherited this inn from his father, there was only one façade at that time, there was no backyard, and there were only two rooms on it.
Little by little, we managed it to what it is now. ” "Lao Yu is a little disabled, but he has a good heart and treats me very well, he is sixteen years older than me.
When I was seventeen years old, he said that he would prepare a dowry for me and find me a good family to marry me, but I couldn't do without him after all those years of getting along.
It's just that he always felt that he had a disability and was not worthy of me, so he never refused.
And I strongly disagree."
When Sanniang said this, she smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes: "Do you think it's incredible and think that I'm just going to be like that just to repay my kindness?"
Su Xin shook her head, did she look like such a superficial person Those "talented women" are just the world's wishful thinking prejudice against the so-called beautiful "love".
Su Xin still believes in two people who treat each other sincerely, and they fall in love over time.
"He was in his thirties and had never married a wife, so people said I was delaying.
Actually, no, although getting married and having children is a very important thing in life, if two people don't even have a little relationship and don't have the same aspirations, it is impossible to come together.
Even if they are together, they can't give each other happiness, so he resolutely refuses to get married and we are no match for the rumors after all, so the two of us continue to open stores with brothers and sisters with different surnames, even if they have been together for decades, one has not married and the other has not married, I have never crossed that gap. ” When Su Xin heard this, he felt a little sad inexplicably.
"Ten years ago, a month before the fire broke out in Zhu Yuanwai's house, there was a man in his fifties who lived in our store, who knew that it was that night, and I don't know how, he actually ran to the backyard, jumped into the well and drowned."
"We were terrified because we were the only ones in the store that night, and when we hired a guy who said he had taken three days off for family business.
There were no other guests, but he died in the well in the backyard, and we really couldn't argue with it, so I proposed to bury him under the lute tree in the backyard. ” "Well, I'll admit it, I was a ghost at the time, greedy for money, and the guest brought a big package, a big bag of silver, and a black wooden box, and I wanted to keep it for myself."
"We took care of the man overnight, packed up everything in the room, and after a few days of panic, found that nothing was going on.
We used the money to renovate the store, renovate the store, and gradually put this matter aside. ” "It wasn't until a month later that a fire broke out in Yuanwaifu, which alarmed the whole city.
Lao Yu is a good old man, and he is going to help put out the fire with a basin, and I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to enter the store, so I will stay and watch the inn.
I waited until I didn't sleep, it was almost early in the morning, and the guy came back, saying that the Yuanwaifu was completely burned down this time, and the people inside were really pitiful, and none of them could escape, and they were burned alive in their sleep.
I listened to a sad and inexplicable fear in my heart.
I asked her why Lao Yu hadn't come back yet."
The guy looked at me with surprise and said, "No, I didn't see it all the way."
I chuckled in my heart and exclaimed, "I saw him going out with you, and he was following you with the basin for washing vegetables."
When the guy heard me say that, he was scared enough, his body almost jumped up all of a sudden, he looked behind him in fear, and looked at me with strange eyes, "Sanniang, don't scare me, I really didn't see the master."
If you don't believe it, you can ask Uncle Gui next door, I happened to meet him when I went out, and I really didn't have anyone else.
"I heard the guy say this, and I felt my head buzz, and somehow, all of a sudden, I remembered the guest who had inexplicably drilled into the well and drowned a month ago."
"I ran to the backyard like crazy, and then I saw that there was really a person in the well, it was Lao Yu" Sanniang's tears flowed silently.
Su Xin didn't know how to comfort him, so he added water to the other party's already empty cup.
After that incident, the man often said that he saw a man walking around the well.
I asked him what the man looked like, and he described it as very similar to the man who had jumped into the well before. ” When Sanniang said this, her body involuntarily trembled slightly.
"The last time, when the man walked to the well, I suddenly felt something around me, and I was in a daze, so I followed the sound to the backyard, and I saw that the man was about to jump into the well, and I was frightened, and I quickly screamed and pulled him back."
"The guy told me, he said he was cleaning things, and then somehow, it was like there was an extra person next to him, and he kept talking to him about something, but it was the feeling of constantly whispering in your ear, but I didn't know exactly what the other person was saying.
Then the body involuntarily walked towards the well, and when he regained consciousness, he didn't know what he had done at all. ” "After that incident, the man fell ill, and he slowly recovered after a month of recuperation, but he became very afraid and timid, and I was afraid that something would happen if I continued to stay, so I gave him double the amount of silver, so that he could buy a piece of land, marry a wife, and have children."
"The business in the store is not getting worse day by day, and then I hired a few guys, but they can't do it for long, and they ask to leave after working for half a year at most."
Su Xin suddenly thought of the shopkeeper and asked, "What about Ming Tsai, how long has he been in the store?"
Sanniang said: "He has been here for two or three years, although the business in the store is cold, but there are still so many things to open every day, and thanks to him." ” Su Xin stopped interjecting, and Sanniang continued what she had just said, "The successive accidents in the city are all the kind of people who died inexplicably, and people are panicking. has changed the county lord of Qi for several terms, and then no one came here to take office.
It wasn't until this Qi County Master came here that he was bent on getting to the bottom of the case and trying to improve people's lives, but it was a pity that no matter how conscientious he was, things were still going worse and worse."
"Just some time ago, four more people died one after another, two of them were beggars from the city, one was a ruffian, and one was a stranger.
The stranger had stayed with me for one night.
That's why Lord Qi will find me":
