Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 261

[Chapter 261 Blood Flying Sky (4)]

After a night of sleepless nights, the tavern owner waited anxiously until dawn and fell asleep after hearing the passing merchants outside. When the tavern owner woke up, the sky was already dusk, and it was time to open again in an hour. When we start, we have to prepare wine and food, a lot of things to do. Just as he was getting ready for dinner, the door on the second floor creaked open, and the little boy named Sandor climbed down the stairs and went to the tavern owner to ask for food.

Looking at the child’s eyes and the shadow on the ground, the tavern owner’s heart was put in his stomach. He didn’t expect these three people to die so much. At the same time, he also began to doubt the relationship between Ley and the two children. Identity, quietly, the tavern owner put the food on the plate and handed it to Sandor. After watching Sandor go upstairs, the tavern owner continued to work on his own business until the guests came.

It was late at night again, the red lanterns shone on the dark night, the little boy and the little girl played, and the other played the drums. Under the expectation of everyone, Ley slowly stepped onto the stage. Before jumping, there was a burst of applause. The wine bowls collided and made a sound, dripping the wine on the table. Never left Ley. Some people came here for the first time and were so excited that they threw the money on the stage, while some people had traveled this road several times and put the money on the table. Eat, drink, bark, dance, as always. The only difference is that the tavern owner, while he was working, stared at Ley, thinking about what happened last night, who is Ley, why did he come here, why did he go to Crescent Moon Spring, and why is he still alive? Too many unknowns made the tavern owner curious. He felt that it might not be easy, so he made up his mind to continue pretending to be drunk at night and follow him to see what the hell Ley was up to. Therefore, the tavern owner deliberately prepared good wine for the passing merchants this evening. The wine is stronger than usual. Drinking and drinking, these people are drunk just like yesterday, and Lei also went upstairs. .

In order not to show any flaws, the tavern owner still collects and counts the money as usual, and puts the money at the door of Ley’s room. Then, like yesterday, he sat downstairs alone drinking and eating meat, and then climbed on the table drunk. .

As expected by the tavern owner, in the middle of the night, the door on the second floor opened again, and the three people quietly went downstairs. After yesterday’s experience, the owner of the tavern also knew something. In order not to let Ley find out, he didn’t follow closely. He didn’t show up until he watched Ley and the others jump into the Crescent Moon from a distance. Crescent Moon Spring.

“Strange.” The tavern owner walked around the Crescent Moon Spring for a week and found no sign of Ley and the others going ashore, but he looked for them yesterday, and Ley and the others were not in the water, so where would they be? After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn’t think of the result, so he had to hide behind a stone by the Crescent Moon Spring to see what happened.

After waiting for an hour, I saw that there was movement in the Crescent Moon Spring, the surface of the spring was surging with water, and with a bang, a head emerged from the water, followed by the second and third, the one on the far left seemed to be the little boy Sando. Er, with something in his hand, he threw it ashore, and the thing was still alive and kicking after being thrown ashore.

“Lie, look, I caught the iron-backed fish.” The little boy shouted happily and climbed ashore.

The little girl and Ley also went ashore, Ley was twisting her clothes, and the little girl laughed and scolded: “Sandol, you are such a big idiot, we are not looking for iron-backed fish, what’s the use of catching it.”

“You know . What, Aviya, you can eat this, you know?”

“Good boy, Sandor, throw the fish back into the spring.” After straightening her hair, Rey touched the little boy’s head.

The little boy didn’t seem very happy to hear it, and pouted and asked, “Why? Rye, I managed to catch it.”

“You’re obedient, Sandor, we can’t let people find out that we’ve been to Crescent Moon Spring.”

” But…”

“Stupid Sandor, a real warrior will not throw away his weapon for a fish.” The little girl named Avia walked up to the little boy, grabbed the fish on the ground, and threw it into the Crescent Moon Spring with a plop. .

The little boy lowered his head, seemed to realize that he was wrong, and whispered, “I see.”

After finishing speaking, Ley took the hands of the two children and left the tavern owner’s sight… The tavern owner was still hiding behind the big stone. He could hear the conversation between Ley and the others just now. Ley and the others seemed to be in this crescent moon. Find something in the fountain. What are they looking for? The owner of the tavern thought hard that there are three treasures in this Crescent Moon Spring, namely the iron-backed fish, the five-color sand and the seven-star grass. The iron-backed fish and the seven-star grass are both local sacred objects. It is said that eating them can prolong life and prevent all diseases. Even he himself had never seen an iron-backed fish, let alone eaten it, and after the little boy caught the iron-backed fish, Ley didn’t want it. Why is that? Even if you don’t want such a baby, what will Ley and the others find more valuable than these? Filled with doubts, the tavern owner took a shortcut, returned to the tavern before Ley and the others, and continued to climb on the table to pretend to sleep.

One day, the tavern owner felt itchy, so night after night, he followed Ley and the others, but the result was the same every night, and he got nothing. Gradually, the tavern owner really hoped that Ley would be faster. Bit by bit to find what she was looking for, until an official announcement was posted.

According to past business travelers, the announcement stated that the five-color sand in the Crescent Moon Spring is the property of the government. Anyone who digs it without authorization should be punished by death.

This news made the tavern owner stunned. It seemed that the answer he had always wanted to know was in it. He looked at Ley who was dancing on the stage, and whispered to the business traveler who wanted to add wine: “Guest officer, are you sure about the government? Did you really post this announcement?”

“Hey, if you don’t believe it, you can go to the town to see it yourself, the announcement has been posted for almost half a month, and only two days ago a man who stole five-color sand was caught by the government. , said it’s already…” The businessman gestured towards his neck.

The tavern owner nodded with a smile and filled the businessman with wine. He didn’t know what was going on in his mind, but a happy smile appeared on his face…

At night, after everyone else was too drunk to get up and fall asleep, the tavern owner followed him again. He was behind Ley and the others. At first, he didn’t show his breath. When Ley and the others landed, he jumped out from behind the stone.

“Who?!” The person who suddenly jumped out in the dark startled the three of them, Ley and Sandor.

The tavern owner waved his hand hurriedly and said softly, “It’s me, Ley, don’t be afraid.” Then, the tavern owner took out a torch and lit it so that Ley and the others could see his face.

It was also at this time that the tavern owner saw Ley clearly for the first time. He was more beautiful than usual with a veil on, dripping with water droplets all over his body, like a fairy in the legend who showered in Tianhe, which made him nervous as a man. Began to beat, looking at Ley’s towering chest, he kept gulping.

“Boss?” the little boy Sandor shouted, almost scaring the tavern owner to death, the child looked at him innocently. “Why did you follow us?”

“I…I…” The tavern owner was a little excited, but he didn’t know how to answer, but he had been in business for a long time, and his brain was not rusty. After thinking for a while, he found someone he thought The perfect excuse, pretending to sigh and saying, “Hey, I’m all here for you. If I hadn’t risked my life to help you guard, you would have been arrested by the government.”

“Government?” Ley His eyes are very charming, and since they are doubtful eyes, they are enough to make people fascinated.

The tavern owner nodded. In his heart, he had already determined that Lai and the others were the people who stole the five-color sand, so he said confidently: “Yes, the government knows that someone is going to steal the five-color sand, and they are already planning to take them. Not long after, one person was arrested and killed by the government.”

“What does it have to do with us when they arrest the person who steals the five-color sand?”

The tavern owner pretended to understand, looked around and said in a low voice, “I already knew about your business, don’t hide it from me, let me tell you the truth, I have protected you for several nights, if not I’ll watch it for you, maybe the three of you were the ones who were beheaded for stealing the five-color sand a few days ago.”

“Thank you, then.” Ley glanced at the tavern owner and pulled the two children to leave.

How could the tavern owner let Ley go so easily? He must have waited for a long time today, so he stopped in front of Ley and asked, “Are you planning to leave now?”

“What else does the boss say?” Ley is a smart girl, and she has already seen the deep meaning in the eyes of the tavern owner. She has too much contact with those eyes, and the men’s psychology naturally understands. If she doesn’t leave, she may not know What tricks the tavern owner will have.

The tavern owner stroked his beard, smiled, and replied: “I can’t talk about it, but we met once, and I helped you escape such a big disaster. This…” He didn’t continue talking…

Ley breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the little girl named Avia and said, “Avaya, give the silver to the boss.” The

little girl listened, took out some silver pieces from her arms, and walked to the tavern owner. In front of him, it was stuffed into the hands of the tavern owner. The owner of the tavern looked at the silver in his hand. These pieces of silver were all despised by him, but now Ley used them to kill himself, and his heart suddenly rose, and he said dissatisfiedly, “You just use this to repay me? Ley was stunned for

a moment, then took off a string of pearl necklaces from his neck and gave it to the tavern owner…

“This is the only treasure I have.”

“This is not what I want!” Facing the temptation for a long time The woman, the tavern owner couldn’t control the desire of his body, after throwing the necklace on the ground, he rushed towards Ley…
