Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 243 Big fist is the last word
"Help! It's haunted!"

The shrill scream sounded again in the inn.

The two consecutive frights caused Tang Yanxiu's aunt, who was the most easily frightened, to completely collapse. She hugged her daughter tightly, screaming and crying bitterly.

Besides her, the others were not much better.

If we talk about yesterday's, maybe it can barely be said to be dazzled.After all, they had been traveling for several days at that time, and they were very tired.In addition, it was already early in the morning, and the only oil lamp in the room was dropped on the ground by Tang Yanxiu's uncle.Based on the moonlight alone, no one can guarantee that they must have seen the situation clearly.

Of course, they were more willing to believe in the so-called deluded eyes than to believe that Tang Yanxiu had appeared.

But now?

What happened to the blood that appeared out of thin air?

Tang Yanxiu's uncle trembled all over, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak a word.

Although just now, he was dozing off, but the problem is that he was not completely asleep, nor did he hear people's footsteps or other movements.And at that time, he was sitting on the edge of the bed at the back of the room, but his wife and daughter were sitting on chairs only a few steps away from the door.If someone opens the door, they will definitely find out.

So... it was also thrown in through the window?

Subconsciously turned his head to look at the window, but unfortunately, he was quickly disappointed.

Although it is spring now, this is a place near the water, not to mention colder at night, and it is often windy.

Besides, now that his son is still sick, how could he open the window?
But if the doors and windows were intact, where did the blood come from?

After staying there for a while in a daze, Tang Yanxiu's uncle suddenly got up and bent over to wrap his little son lying on the bed in his arms.His youngest son was already having a fever, but now he was splashed with blood all over his head and body.Even so, he still didn't wake up, he just hummed uncomfortably.

"Go, get out of here! Don't worry about those bags, leave the rest of the matter to the housekeeper, let's go immediately. If you hear me, go!"

Tang Yanxiu's uncle was really frightened. He yelled at his wife and daughter hysterically several times, then ran out of the room with his youngest son in his arms without looking back, and ran into the lobby in one breath.

Tang Yanxiu's aunt, mother and daughter, who were still in the room, moved a little slower, but quickly followed, looking as if they could not wait to run ten miles away.

Tang Yanxiu, who had been paying attention to the movement outside in the space, seized the opportunity to rush out of the space, then quickly walked to her own room not far away, and after closing the door, she was relieved.

You can't take such a risk next time. It's okay to scare people, but you can't trap yourself.

After thinking about it, he decided to go into the space to wash his face before changing into clothes.

After packing up these things and coming out again, the movement outside can already be said to be earth-shattering.

It seemed that the family was really frightened by him.

With a pursed mouth, Tang Yanxiu didn't want to hide in the room and pretend to be asleep anymore. There was so much commotion outside, it would be too stupid for him to really do that.Thinking that he had been missing for a day, he simply opened the door to look for his personal servant next door.

As a result, just after going out and taking two steps, the servant's door opened by itself.

"Are you well?"

"Young master, let's go too. I'm fine. You are a beautiful woman, so you can't live in a haunted inn."

As soon as the boy saw Tang Yanxiu, he immediately persuaded him to leave, and vowed that his illness had been cured.

But Tang Yanxiu sized him up carefully, and she didn't believe it at all.

Although he has never studied medicine in two lifetimes, he still has eyes and brains.

He looked so pale to the point of being bloodless, and he still staggered when he walked, how could he believe that he had recovered from his illness?

However, Tang Yanxiu could also understand the boy's mood.

After all, in this day and age, atheists like him are extremely rare.Normal local aborigines must have run away when they heard that the inn was haunted.At least whether it is true or not is not so important anymore.

Seeing the boy's terrified look, Tang Yanxiu nodded: "It's no problem to leave here, but it's late at night, where are we going? In my opinion, we might as well wait until dawn tomorrow, then let's go. "

"Master, you are right, then let's leave tomorrow!"

The boy was very excited and looked like he was about to faint. Tang Yanxiu hurriedly asked him to go back to his room to rest, and they set off at dawn.

After dismissing the boy, Tang Yanxiu moved to the stairs and quietly looked down.

The downstairs lobby is already so noisy that it can almost be compared with Caishikou.

To Tang Yanxiu's surprise, it was not the uncle and aunt's family who made the most noise, but the shopkeeper and a few waiters in the inn.

"What's haunted? My inn has been here for decades, why is it haunted? You guys explained it clearly to me! If you don't make it clear, let's go to the county magistrate early in the morning!"

"That's right! You are just foreigners, we are all locals, even if you are some kind of officials, we are not afraid!"

"What is the official, I heard that he is helping the coffin back to the hometown. What are you afraid of him doing? Our official is the Qingtian master, and he will not favor the official."

"Yes! You people, even if your mouth grows on you, you can't talk nonsense!"

……

Tang Yanxiu only heard a few people from the shopkeeper yelling in the lobby, but there was no movement from his uncle and aunt.Immediately, he shouted in surprise.

Maybe he still doesn't understand the temper of this other person, but none of this uncle and aunt's family can swallow their anger.However, after listening for a while, Tang Yanxiu also roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

To sum it up in one sentence, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

Tang Yanxiu can clearly understand how much people fear ghosts and gods these days from his close servant.His little servant just heard the yelling downstairs, and he was so frightened that he wanted to leave here immediately and never come back again.What about the others?

If it is confirmed that this inn is haunted, then basically it can choose to close down.

That being the case, how could the shopkeeper let the uncle and aunt's family leave?Even the official can't care about it. After all, if the inn is closed, they will have problems eating and drinking, so what if they offend the official?Besides, this is an official who has helped his coffin back to his hometown.

However, after this, Tang Yanxiu couldn't help but started to mutter in his heart.

He is not very clear about the laws and regulations of this dynasty, but he also knows that the elder of the direct relative has passed away, and the uncle who is his own son must be filial, but he does not know that he will resign.Of course, it might be that kind of suspension without pay, but even so, when he returns to Kyoto County three years later, will he still have his position in the officialdom?
Another point is that Tang Yanxiu had never seen the situation of his uncle and aunt with his own eyes before, so he thought that even if it was some kind of support for the coffin to go back to the hometown, the situation should not be small.But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

There is no maidservant in the room of my uncle and aunt.

The little cousin is still held in his uncle's arms, and there is no nanny or nanny to take over.

There should have been two first-class maids, four second-class maids, eight third-class maids, and a dozen rough maids and wives beside the cousin.Now they are gone.

That's not to say, seeing the mess like this, but there is only one housekeeper standing beside the uncle, and then there is the nursing home who hastily rushed from other guest rooms.

The reason why they can be seen at a glance that they are nurses and not servants is because they are all over 30 years old and look like Lianjiazi.In Tang Yanxiu's impression, the servants of the Tang family are not like this at all. Most of them are between ten and 20 years old, and they all look relatively thin. I have never heard of any young servants who want to practice martial arts. of.

Could it be that during the time he was away, something major happened to the Tang family?

Keeping this idea in mind, Tang Yanxiu decided to find a chance to inquire.

Even though the loyalty of this nursing home is high, the brain may not be very good.As long as he is careful when collecting information, he should still be able to find some useful information.

It's just that there is a lot of noise downstairs, and I don't know if the shopkeeper can stop the uncle and aunt's party.

Facts have proved that most of the time, the fist is the last word.

Don't think that uncle and aunt have brought a lot of nursing homes, but the problem is that the shopkeeper really went to report to the government in a rage.In the middle of the night, the local county magistrate would not come, but they sent a team of yamen servants to maintain order.I don't know how much money the shopkeeper stuffed in secret, or that the people here are more defensive.Anyway, the yamen servants were talking to the shopkeeper inside and outside the words, and they even ordered the next morning to go to the county yamen to make it clear.

Because of the angle, Tang Yanxiu could only see the figures of the people downstairs, not the expressions on their faces.

However, after thinking about it, I know that the mood of the uncle and aunt's family will definitely not be so good at the moment.

The following facts proved Tang Yanxiu's guess, because the uncle and aunt's family did not return to the upper room on the second floor at all, but simply sat in the lobby downstairs, as if planning to wait until dawn.

Also, it is understandable to be frightened like this after encountering supernatural things for two consecutive days.

In the early morning of tomorrow, the uncle and aunt's family will definitely go to the official office, and those nursing homes should not all go with them.At that time, it is a good time to inquire about the news.

In addition, he also needs to learn about the current situation of the ship with those boatmen.If it really takes a long time to tow the ship to the pier, or if it needs major repairs due to serious damage, then he can't accompany him.

Or go overland and spend two months slowly going around to Wanhua County.

Or simply follow the example of the uncle and aunt's group, take a small boat to bypass the big ship that hit the rocks, and go outside to take a boat.

Tang Yanxiu's calculations were good, but he didn't expect that there was still a big trouble waiting for him.
