Chongxi Concubine of Time Travel

Chapter 144 Robbery on the Road, Strange Town (6)
After Shangguan Xueyan heard it, two or three hours meant five or six hours, which was a long time.Even adults can't bear to have dinner after five or six hours, let alone children.

"Fortunately, mother has prepared some food, I'll put it up for you first, but it seems to be a little cold." Shangguan Xueyan opened the food box, took out the side dishes and a few steamed buns inside, and held the plate with her hands to heat it up with internal force .

"I'll help you." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao knew what she was doing just by looking at her movements, and he had served a plate of food to do the same thing with her, and this idea was probably only thought of by her.Whoever cultivates internal strength is not used to increase her strength to defend herself against the enemy, but she actually uses it to heat vegetables and steamed buns.This is also the first time I see her, I really don't know what she thinks?

"Okay, let's eat." Shangguan Xueyan wiped their hands with a brocade handkerchief, and then handed them chopsticks.

"Mother, father, you can eat too." Xuanyuan Shaoquan took the chopsticks and said.

"Eat, mother is not hungry." Shangguan Xueyan looked at them lovingly and said.Besides, there were not many of these dishes, and they would definitely not be full if they wanted to eat them.

"I'm not hungry for my father, so hurry up and eat!"

"When did you prepare the dishes? Is it lunch today?" Xuanyuan Xuanxiao looked at the two sons eating happily, and felt that everything he did was worthwhile.

"Well, let Wen'e tell the shopkeeper."

Their carriage stopped for a while and waited for the children to finish their meal before they moved on again, but two guards were left to watch those people, waiting for the previous guard, Shangguan Xueyan and the others would be in front of them. The town waits for them, and they will leave markers along the way.

After several more hours of travel, they arrived at a small town after dark.I don’t know if it’s because of the darkness. The town is very quiet, but it seems a little abnormal. It’s about Xu time (eight or nine o’clock in the modern night) and it’s not the time when everyone turns off the lights and closes the house. How can there be no traffic on the road? light.The whole street looked gloomy and a little scary.

"Mother, why does it look so strange here?" Xuanyuan Yunmo looked out of the window when he knew that he had arrived in a small town. He thought he would see a crowded night market. It was when he was in Beijing, at night Many people were walking on the street, but he saw only empty streets.

"I don't know about this, let's find an inn to stay and talk about it first." Shangguan Xueyan felt that there must be a monster in the abnormality, maybe there is something unusual happening here.

"Second, just find an inn." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao also noticed the situation outside, and he felt that even if he wanted to inquire about the situation, he had to wait until he stayed.

"Yes, Lord. There is an inn in front." An Er looked at the long couplet with the word "Inn" written on it in front of him and said.

"Well, just this one."

An Er got the order to drive the carriage to the door of the inn, and a guard came forward to knock on the door.

"Who is it?" A trembling voice asked from inside the store door.

"We are staying in the store, may I have a room?" The guard heard the question and knew that someone inside asked again.

"There are no guest rooms, let's go, go and look elsewhere!" The voice still came from the door, but the door didn't even move.

"Master, the shopkeeper said that there are no guest rooms."

"Then let's go to another house to see, let's go, Mo'er is tired." Shangguan Xueyan said to Xuanyuan Xuanxiao after hearing this.

"En." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao looked at the tired sons and agreed with Shangguan Xueyan's words.

"Mother, what if there are no guest rooms in the inns in this town, so where are we staying today?" Xuanyuan Yunmo said listlessly, he was tired from the carriage ride all day.

"Don't worry, we will definitely have a place to sleep today." Shangguan Xueyan looked at her son's tired little face with a bit of distress.

Just when they were about to turn around and leave, the door of the inn slowly opened, and a nervous face was stretched out to look at them.

"Guest officer, it's you who want to stay in the hotel. There are still guest rooms in the hotel. You don't need to go to another house. Come in." The person hiding at the door held the door and looked at Shangguan Xueyan and the others and said, He was still looking around when he said it.

"But, didn't you just say that there are no guest rooms, why do you have them now?" Xuanyuan Yunmo asked puzzled.

"Young masters, please come in first, and then I will answer your questions." The second boy looked very nervous, and almost pulled them in.

"Let's just live here." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao looked at Shangguan Xueyan asking for her opinion, this town was too weird, he had to be careful.

"Okay, Mo'er, let's go in quickly." Shangguan Xueyan also wanted to see what this inn was up to.

After they entered, the scene they saw was completely different from the outside.The street was deserted and gloomy, like a ghost town, but there were many people in the store. They were all sitting in the lobby of the store, some talking softly, and some drinking alone.No wonder there are so many people inside, but no sound can be heard outside. It turns out that they all lowered their voices or they would not speak.Those people looked at Shangguan Xueyan and her group who came in and were a little nervous at first, but they relaxed when they saw women and children, and then went on with their own business.

"Shopkeeper, what do you have to eat, hurry up, I'm so hungry, sir." Yun Yin yelled while sitting on an empty table.

"Keep your voice down, I'll order someone to do it right away." The man who seemed to be the owner walked up to them and whispered, as if he was afraid that someone would overhear.

"What's the matter? Why can't you speak loudly?" Yun Yin also followed his example and asked in a puzzled voice.

"I saw that you are all foreigners. This town is sealed now, and you can only enter but not exit. If you didn't have children, I wouldn't dare to let you live in." The shopkeeper said in a low voice.

"What do you mean, it's sealed, who sealed it, the government, why?" Xuanyuan Xuanxiao asked a few questions in one sentence.

"It's not the government. Our county magistrates are all missing. I heard someone said that they were sealed by a group of ghosts. They only come out at night, and they are not allowed to make loud noises. Anyone who disturbs them with loud noises will be arrested. At first People believed it, but in the end there were two people who quarreled at night and disappeared the next day." The shopkeeper put down the kettle in his hand and said with a sigh.

"Is there such a strange thing? It started from that day. Is it the same in your place during the day?" Shangguan Xueyan thought about it.This must be man-made, probably under the banner of ghosts, doing their own shady deeds.
