Rebirth of the Hidden World's Only Daughter

Chapter 111

The sky was gradually sinking, and it was almost dusk when we arrived at the town. There were a lot of people in the town, but it was surprisingly deserted. The only few passers-by who could be seen were in a hurry, with their mouths tightly shut, their heads bowed, and they hurried on their way.

Yu Jian and Zuo Jian exchanged glances, both could feel the uneasiness in this severe atmosphere!The two walked quickly to the inn on the left, only to see that the inn had just been tidied up, and Xiao Er was about to close the door to close the stalls, when Zuo Jian stopped him.

"Xiao Er, is there any room available?"

Xiao Er rolled his eyes, looked at Zuo Jian's posture, quickly opened the door, and greeted warmly: "Yes, yes, you two guests have come from a long way, you have worked hard all the way! Come, please come in, please come in!" So he stood aside to make way for them, and shouted to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, these two guest officials are going to stay in the shop, so hurry up and help me out!"

The shopkeeper came out to welcome them in, Xiao Er took the reins from Yu Jian's hand, and hurriedly led the two horses to the backyard!

Yu Jian and Zuo Jian went in and sat down, and then put down their burdens. Seeing the shopkeeper hastily closed the door again, they felt even more strange. After he brought tea, Yu Jian asked.

"Shopkeeper, it's not completely dark yet, why are you in such a hurry to close the door?"

The shopkeeper poured tea and explained with a smile: "I don't know, the guest officer. Today is the day of winter. In our place, the night of autumn solstice and winter is regarded as ghost festival! It's almost dusk. Everyone rushed home, regardless of whether there is business or not, we all want to pack up early, cover up the quilt and sleep, so as not to bump into anything that shouldn't be bumped into! The lawsuit between the two customers is a coincidence, if it is a step late, No one dares to open the door for you!"

Yu Jian suddenly realized, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "So that's the case, no wonder it's deserted!"

The shopkeeper went on to add: "Yes, it gets even colder at night. Everyone hides at home and dare not touch those taboos! The two guest officers should go to bed early after dinner, and wait until tomorrow if you have anything to do. !"

Yu Jian smiled politely: "Okay, thank you shopkeeper! Thank you shopkeeper for arrangement!"

"Guest officer, you're welcome, I'll make arrangements right away, guest officer, wait a moment!"

The shopkeeper was quick to do things, and not long after he left, Xiao Er ordered a few good-looking dishes, plus a small earthen pot. When Xiao Er lifted the lid of the earthen pot, he realized it was a The pot boiled very thick black rice porridge.

Yu Jian stared blankly, Xiaoer saw her, Xio took a small bowl, filled it seventy percent full, put it in front of her, and said: "This porridge is cooked just right, guest officer, taste it while it's hot! "

Seeing that she answered "Okay!" in a daze, Xiao Er put away his things and stepped back.

Zuo Jian's expression was indifferent, he glanced at her, didn't say much, lowered his head, and moved his chopsticks.

Yu Jian picked up the steaming porridge on the table, and the soft warmth came from the palm of her hand. After a long time, she picked up the spoon and stirred it. After taking a sip, she felt a "thump" in her heart. The taste was terribly familiar...

In the snow-capped mountains, it was he who gave her such warmth with his own hands. It seemed that his words were still lingering in her ears, and with a gentle smile, she asked, "Is it good?"

Is this hallucination?Or... is he really here?

This meal, no one can eat safely!Too much thought makes it tasteless to eat.

After dinner, the two of them were led upstairs by Xiao Er, Zuo Jian picked two rooms next to each other at the stairway, Xiao Er filled them with candles and tea, then hurriedly retreated, closing the window of the inn door, turned out the lights and hid in the room.

It was night, and the surroundings were quiet. Zuo Jian pushed the window open, leaving a little gap. It was not that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but what he wanted to guard against was more realistic than these illusory legends. , something terrible!

He turned off the light, jumped onto the beam two or three times, rested his head on his hands, and lay on his side. His eyes just fell beyond a gap in the window. After watching for a while, he closed his eyes and regained his composure.

Yujian lived next door, and could occasionally hear slight footsteps, neither slow nor urgent, just like her temperament, Zuo Jian listened carefully to the noises in her room, there were a few more footsteps, and then she flipped through the book The small rubbing sound, one after another, slowly, it became quiet...

In the house, Yu Jian was sleeping with her clothes on, her body turned sideways, her long hair was naturally draped over the pillow, one hand was resting on the pillow, and the other hand was holding a book that had just been turned over a few pages, propped up on the edge of the bed, It seems that it will fall down in a second...

She closed her eyes peacefully, but her head was groggy, and she wanted to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep anyway. She listened to the surrounding noises with her ears open, but her ears were not as strong as Zuo Jian. Waking up suddenly, he raised his right hand to block it with a book, slowed down, and rolled back.

At the same time, the window opposite the door was slammed open, and the two figures rushed up almost at the same time, hitting the masked man left and right, throwing his sword away, the masked man staggered back two steps, With a backhand blow, he slid his sword back, swept the teacups and jars on the table, and jumped out of the window while the two of them blocked the gap.

As soon as the two saw each other, they moved, and then stopped immediately. They turned to look at Yu Jian, only to find that she was looking at them with extremely impatient eyes.

It was Zuo Jian who broke in through the gate. He glanced at the woman who was opposing him, and when he looked at Yu Jian again, he seemed unmoved, with a cold expression on his face, as if saying, "I don't know her!"

Yu Jian got out of bed, and the woman had already come up and bowed: "Huanzhu is late, how is the girl?"

She looked at her, thinking of the black rice porridge just now, is he really here?

"How will you be here?"

Huanzhu lowered his head and explained: "The princess is worried about the safety of the girl, so she specially ordered the slaves to come over to protect the girl!"

"It was the concubine who asked you to come? Does he know?"

One Zuojian was not enough, another Huanzhu came, and he used such an excuse that didn't look like an excuse. Is it his turn to appear next?

Huanzhu just paused, she waved her hand to break up the words just now, and said: "My sister, are they all right?"

Huanzhu looked at her puzzled, and nodded: "Don't worry, girl, they are all fine!"

The house was not lit in time, the windows were opened but not closed, the moonlight poured in, leaving sporadic light and shadows on the ground, it was very quiet outside, as if the stillness of the soul had been lost, Yu Jian stood, Huanzhu bowed his head, Zuo Jian looked coldly at To the distance, instantly become silent...
