The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 419

Chapter 419 Ghost Inn

Wen Li finally got a good night’s sleep, but was woken up. If this were in the city of Frost, the king of the Snow Country, she would definitely be very angry, but after experiencing several dangers, she also knew that today Not in the past, she shook her head to try to clear herself up.

“Miss Bailing, what happened? I have to wake me up, I’m so sleepy.” Wen Li yawned, and Bailing told her to let her rest for a good night, and she will be on the way tomorrow, but she Looking out the window, the night is getting thick outside, it’s still midnight in the middle of the night.

She didn’t think anyone would lose heart and drive away in the middle of the night. She followed Bai Ling out of the room and saw Hu Che and others waiting outside.

“Miss Wen Li, let’s go out and talk about the details,” Hu Che said with a heavy expression, and pointed out the door.

“Go out? But didn’t the old woman repeatedly tell us not to leave the hotel? How about her? Why are we missing?” Wen Li looked around, trying to find the old woman in the hotel, but she didn’t see her. Let Wen Li feel strange.

She was even more strange that Hu Che actually wanted her to leave the hotel in the middle of the night, knowing that there was venom everywhere outside the town.

“I searched everywhere and didn’t see where the hag was. There is no time. Let’s go out quickly. It will be dangerous to stay in the hotel!” The bee sting beside her anxiously urged, she had already opened the door. Urging Wen Li and others to go out with her.

“Ghost ghost? What ghost ghost? What is going on?” Wen Li was even more puzzled. There were too many question marks in her mind.

“Miss Wen Li, we were fooled. The old woman we saw at dusk is not a living person, she is a ghost, and this hotel is not a hotel for tourists, but a ghost hotel for ghosts.” After pulling Wen Li out of the hotel door, she explained it again.

“Not a living person? But I talked to her before…” Wen Li was a little unbelievable.

“Think carefully, that old woman does have a lot of suspicious things. In such an abandoned town, no one has seen it, but she runs a hotel here. What is it that is not for ghosts?” Hu Che agreed with the bee. If he stabbed, he nodded gently.

“Tell us first, what happened to you, or what kind of information you got.” Du Lei looked at the bee sting and the leopard tail not far away, and the leopard tail was holding a little boy on the right hand. All eyes fell on the little boy.

“Siegel, it’s up to you to tell Miss Wen Li the ins and outs of their affairs.” The bee sting motioned to the little boy to tell everything.

“Okay, Sister Bee Sting, it’s like this…” The little boy named Siegel began to tell what happened in Chunfeng Town.

It turned out that Chunfeng Town was indeed a small town where the spring breeze was blowing before. Because it is located on the edge of the southern border of the Snow Country, there is a warm spring breeze here every spring breeze. The spring breeze passes through the mountain pass to the north of Chunfeng Town, bringing warmth. The wind brought it to the territory of the Snow Country.

With the arrival of the spring breeze, everything will usher in recovery. Every year, there will be a grand welcoming spring festival in Chunfeng Town. It can be regarded as a peaceful town, but this peaceful town takes place as a group of outsiders enter. After a change, these outsiders brought survey equipment.

They found a large amount of coal in the north of Chunfeng Town. As we all know, with the advent of the steam age, the price of coal has risen. The whole continent once set off a wave of searching for coal. Chunfeng Town was proven to store a large amount of coal, and immediately there was a large amount of coal. Coal merchants poured in.

At first, Chunfeng Town would boycott these migrants and prevent them from mining, but when these merchants waved a lot of banknotes and carried baskets full of silver coins to Chunfeng Town, the people in the town clinked. Finally could not hold it, agreed to the mining of coal.

During the period of coal mining, Chunfeng Town indeed ushered in its heyday. The originally peaceful town was flooded with a lot of trendy things. The men in the town became miners. They had stable jobs and stable income. , Earning several times more than before.

Everyone in Chunfeng Town has lived a prosperous life. Not only that, but also railways have been laid in to transport coal continuously. There is no nearby town that does not envy Chunfeng Town, and even the women are able to It is a great honor to marry into Chunfeng Town!

But this is the situation. After several years, changes have occurred. One reason is that coal mining is on the verge of exhaustion. No matter how abundant coal reserves are, it cannot withstand the crazy excavation of capitalists. There are several mountain capitals near Chunfeng Town. Was hollowed out.

Another reason is that when the miners were working underground, they dug something. As for what they dug, no one can tell. The most well-known saying is that they dug the “gate of hell”. Ran out from the depths.

Not only that, there are also highly toxic venoms seeping out from the ground. This venom is extremely deadly. As long as a small amount of it is stained on the skin, it will quickly ulcerate, and there will be no way to get better. At first, the capitalists would invite The mercenaries guard the mine and deal with the monsters.

But gradually the capitalists discovered that Chunfeng Town could no longer dig out much coal, and the input and output were not proportional at all, so they abandoned Chunfeng Town, abandoning this prosperous town, and the miners in the town. , The family moved out of this small town after earning money.

But those men died of widows and orphans in the coal mine. They had no money and no support, so they could only stay in Chunfeng Town and wait for death. For many years, they lived on each other in the mountains, and they didn’t know how long they could hold on. As for the town under the mountain, it has long been dead.

“It turns out that this is the case. Has this happened in Chunfeng Town? This is really unfortunate. What happened to this hotel and the old woman?” Wen Li heard Siegel’s narration and felt very sympathetic. This unfortunate event is painful no matter who happens to it.

At the same time, she also wondered about the origins of the hotel and the strange mother-in-law, because according to Siegel’s account, there is absolutely no living person in the town.

“Grandma Hag did indeed set up a hotel in the town before. At that time, Chunfeng Town was not prosperous. Many outsiders came to the town. The hotel business was very prosperous. And Granny Hag’s son was a foreman in a coal mine and was very capable. , I have also seen it. The relationship with my father is very good, but then something happened in the coal mine. In that accident, my father and the hag’s son were together…” Siegel said, his expression dimmed.

“Are you all killed?” Bee stabbed Siegel’s head, his experience was really sympathetic.

“Yes, they are all killed. It was also at that time that the capitalists thought that Chunfeng Town had no value in mining, so they abandoned the town. Everyone left at that time. The hag could have left, but she couldn’t bear her. My son stayed, but her health was so bad that she died of illness in a short time, and my mother and the others helped take care of her funeral.” Siegel continued.

“It’s really pitiful to the parents of the world… Wait, you just said that the ghost woman is dead? Then who is the old woman we saw?” In sympathy, Wen Li found the key point of the problem. A mother-in-law came out.

“This is the undead that the ghost mother gave birth to with resentment towards her son. She thinks that her son could have escaped. The town killed her son. Her undead stayed in the town and continued to run this hotel. Anyone who passes by the hotel and stays in will be killed by her and pay for her son…”

Siegel can’t go on after talking about it. In fact, it’s not easy for a child as old as him to bear so many things.

“Is that old woman undead? This kind of thing is really…” Wen Li still had an incredible expression on this.

“Miss Wen Li, fortunately that we discovered it early, I felt strange that there was a hotel in such a town. Didn’t she just wait for us travellers to come and kill us all? What else did we say? Coming out is definitely to catch us all at once.”

When Bee Sting recalled what happened before, his heart lingered, “Thanks to Siegel this time, you showed up in time to tell us the details. By the way, Siegel, did you know Leopard Tail before?”

“Huh? You two know each other?” Du Lei, who had never spoken, frowned and looked at Siegel and Leopard Tail in confusion.

“Yes, I have known Brother Leopard Tail before. Brother Leopard Tail has been to Chunfeng Town before.” Siegel replied with a smile.

“Since the hotel is dangerous, we can’t stay here.” Hu Che frowned, thinking about where to go next.

“Everyone is a friend of Brother Leopard Tail, so go to the mountain. The surviving people in the town live on the mountain. There is no poisonous gas there and it is safe. Everyone comes with me.” Siegel waved and greeted. Hu Che and his group followed him up the mountain.

“On the mountain… is it there?” Bai Ling followed Siegel’s point and looked towards the mountain, where there were indeed scattered lights.

“Mr. Hu Che, what are we going to do now?” Wen Li asked Hu Che’s opinion.

“The town is not safe now. If we want to stay overnight, let’s go to the mountain.” Hu Che thought for a while and decided to go up the mountain.
