Chapter 5 The inn's horror(1/2)
Soon it got dark.
"Jingru, tonight, you sleep on the inside and I sleep on the outside." Jin Wushuang seemed to have thought of something.
Rong Jingru turned her head and said, "Okay!"
At this time, Jin Wushuang took out a quilt from the cabinet and put it on the bed.
It was night, and Rong Jingru was lying on the bed. She didn't know whether she was really sleepy, or because Jin Wushuang was beside her, which made her feel at ease, and she quickly fell asleep.
However, although Jin Wushuang squinted her eyes, she still watched the movements outside with vigilance, because she always felt that tonight would not be peaceful.
I don’t know if Jin Wushuang’s feeling came true. Just at midnight, a scream came from outside the house, which woke up Jin Wushuang from his sleep. Then he quickly got up from the bed, put on his coat, and held the ancient black iron sword.
Opened the door.
Just after Jin Wushuang closed the door and left, Rong Jingru also woke up from the scream.
She touched it with her hand and felt that there was no one outside, but there was still a trace of warmth on the bed. She thought that Jin Wushuang should have left not long ago.
But the sound still made Rong Jingru's sleepiness disappear without a trace. She got up, put on her coat, and was about to go out to see what was going on outside.
Unexpectedly, she heard a miserable cry, which seemed not far from the room where she was now.
She was a little scared, after all, it was dark and she couldn't see anything, but she still opened the door by mistake.
I saw that the room next door was also opened softly by Cuihong.
"Cuihong, you and Nanny Jiang are also awake."
"Miss, this slave and Aunt Jiang were also awakened by the scream."
Rong Jingru noticed that Cuihong's hands were shaking at this time and her face was a little pale. She seemed to be very frightened.
"Then you and Aunt Jiang close the door and don't come out."
"The same goes for you, Miss." After saying that, Cuihong noticed that she did not see Miss Jin Wushuang's figure.
"Miss, where is Miss Jin?"
"I'm going to explore the truth outside. I won't say anything anymore. Cuihong, you'd better go back to the house early and close the doors and windows."
"The same goes for you, miss."
…
After Cuihong closed the door again, Rong Jingru began to look around seriously.
It's very quiet now, and the doors of the rooms behind her are closed.
In the dark night, this simple inn looked a little gloomy.
Just when she was about to go downstairs to take a look, she suddenly heard a shrill cry.
Rong Jingru thought about it and felt that something was wrong. After all, Jin Wushuang had already gone downstairs to investigate. Why was there another cry at this time, and the sound seemed to come from downstairs.
After thinking about it, Rong Jingru finally plucked up the courage, holding the candlestick in her hand, and slowly came to the first floor.
But Rong Jingru noticed that the first floor was indeed empty. Seeing this, she began to wonder if she had heard wrong.
Because on the first floor, no matter how hard she took photos, she didn't find a single figure, as if it was just her illusion.
What's even more weird is that not long after the crying disappeared, a noise came from the backyard of the inn.
At the same time, the sound of metal colliding also reached Rong Jingru’s ears.
Rong Jingru's face changed, and she felt a sudden chill all over her body. Although she was still a weak woman now, her thoughts of a womanly man in her previous life still made her stride towards the backyard by candlelight.
Although she knew that Jin Wushuang was powerful, the worry in her heart still made Rong Jingru speed up her pace and take out an ordinary dagger she carried with her.
Jin Wushuang saw Rong Jingru suddenly appearing in the backyard, "Jingru, it's not safe here. It's better for you to go back to the house quickly."
While Jin Wushuang was talking, someone took the opportunity to stab her in the back.
"Wushuang be careful!"
Jin Wushuang heard Rong Jingru's voice and dodged the knife just now.
"In that case, I won't be polite." Jin Wushuang said, his aura suddenly changed.
She jumped up and spun around in the air like a shadow. Those who were so arrogant just now fell to the ground in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that Rong Jingru was the bride now and could hardly see blood, she might have killed these people on the spot.
It's just that although they are not dead now, they are not having a good time. Jin Wushuang used extremely tricky techniques to tap their acupoints and remove their jaws.
While Rong Jingru was immersed in the joy of Jin Wushuang's victory, a cold wind suddenly came from her back.
"Jingru, be careful behind you." Jin Wushuang reminded as he threw the flying needle.
Just when Rong Jingru squatted down, she heard an "ah" sound and the flying needle had already hit the person who came.
When Rong Jingru turned around, she found that the man behind her had fallen to the ground. Fortunately, Jin Wushuang was there, otherwise there would have been no trouble this time.
"Who are these Wushuang people?" Rong Jingru became more courageous when she saw that everyone was taken care of by Jin Wushuang.
"Just take off their masks and take a look and you will know." Jin Wushuang just replied lightly.
Just as the two of them took off all the masks on these people's faces, the bodyguards also appeared in the backyard.
"Where have you all gone? Why didn't I see you in the inn just now?" Rong Jingru was a little confused.
"We just saw someone leave from the main entrance of the inn, leaving two people in the room, and the rest went out to chase them," said a bearded escort.
"Then have you caught anyone?" Rong Jingru was a little curious.
"I didn't expect that man to run so fast. When we chased him, we could no longer see him." A fair-looking escort suddenly spoke.
Jin Wushuang looked at these escorts, but he didn't quite believe what they said.
Seeing this, Rong Jingru didn't ask any questions. She was just curious that the timing of these people's appearance was too coincidental, and at the same time, she became increasingly vigilant.
Because she was upstairs and didn't hear the sound of these people coming downstairs at all. After all, the rooms they lived in were not far apart.
"Since the person has been caught, why not report to the police early tomorrow morning." Rong Jingru looked at the escorts and said this calmly.
Just now, these bodyguards thought that all the people lying underground were dead, but after hearing her words, they looked carefully and found that these people were still breathing.
"Okay, let's follow the advice of this hero and this girl." A somewhat polite-looking escort suddenly said to several of their companions, and then turned around and followed them back to the inn.
Jin Wushuang did not stop these escorts from leaving, but just looked at these people coldly.
After they left, Rong Jingru withdrew her gaze, then lowered her head and looked at these people.
"Wushuang, it seems that this inn is a black shop. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise we would be in trouble this time." Rong Jingru had already taken back the dagger in her hand. Thinking of the scene just now, she sighed with a guilty conscience.
She herself did not expect that even in the Northern Territory, she would encounter a black shop.
Jin Wushuang looked at Rong Jingru's expression and didn't say much. He just dragged the person who had just been stabbed by the flying needle over, and then tied them together with ropes.
Rong Jingru checked the situation on their carriage and found that the ropes were somewhat loose, and there were even clear scratches in some places, so she guessed the situation at that time. If Jin Wushuang hadn't been there, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After Rong Jingru fixed the box again, Jin Wushuang had already tied everyone up one by one.
Among these people, Rong Jingyao saw the female shopkeeper who looked familiar to her, as well as Xiangzi, but the man and woman who had stayed in the store before were not there.
Rong Jingru couldn't help but wonder, after all, the two people had never seen them come down until now.
"The man and woman who entered the store before Wushuang, I didn't see among these people just now."
Jin Wushuang was reminded by Rong Jingru and instantly fell into deep memories.
Among these people, Jin Wushuang has not seen the man and woman Rong Jingru mentioned just now.
"I just followed the sound and didn't have time to check in other rooms. I'll go check it out after we return to the inn later."
As Rong Jingru and Jin Wushuang spoke, they didn't care about the tied people anymore, but quickly returned to the inn.
"Jingru, please go back to your room and rest first. I'll look around in this inn." Jin Wushuang thought for a while.
Rong Jingru nodded.
Back in the room, Mengmeng's cute lolita sound started playing.
"Host, congratulations on successfully surviving the crisis in the inn and successfully acquiring a set of Qinggong movements that can be used to escape."
As soon as Mengmeng finished speaking, a white light passed through her eyebrows and quickly disappeared into Rong Jingru's mind.
Rong Jingru didn't expect that she was so lucky. Just when she wanted to learn martial arts, the system rewarded her with the light kung fu skills necessary for escape when going out.
Because it was night and she was in the room, Rong Jingru never thought of trying it right away.
"Host, please find out the actual identities of these people and why they appeared in the backyard of the inn so late." Mengmeng's cute lolita tone sounded again.
"Mengmeng, if I find out, will there be a reward?"
"Yes, host!"
"Then what punishment will I receive if I don't find out? Mengmeng?" Rong Jingru was still a little worried.
After all, the previous life novel didn't say that as long as you failed to complete the task, you would die. She wanted to see how her own system would respond.
Mengmeng seemed to know what Rong Jingru was thinking, "Don't worry, there won't be any punishment that will cause death at every turn, but there are still necessary punishments, otherwise it will make you feel lazy, which is very bad.
Phenomenon."
