Chapter 0024: Dangerous Road Ahead
The fake Qin Ran took a few steps forward with a smile, his eyes fell on He Jintang, and he said with a sweet smile: "Brother He, how do you think my makeup is done today?"
I saw that He Jintang's face turned pale, and I didn't know what mood he was in at that moment.
The fake Qin Ran stopped staring at him, his eyes suddenly turned cold, "Who broke the paper figurine of my fourth child that night?"
Of course I wouldn't jump out and say that it was me who broke it, I would just pretend I didn't hear it.
"It's just a trivial trick, yet you dare to embarrass yourself!" someone suddenly laughed disdainfully.
When I looked, it turned out to be that guy Meng Dazhi.
Fake Qin Ran stared at him coldly: "Who are you?"
Meng Dazhi stiffened his neck and said proudly, "My master's chief disciple, Meng Dazhi from Zhengzhou!"
The fake Qin Ran said, "So you're Liu Feihe's stupid apprentice. That can't be you. Get lost!"
Meng Dazhi was furious, and heard the fake Qin Ran say: "Who among you is from Longhu Mountain? Stand up!"
I didn't expect that because of my half-baked knowledge of the "Evil-Binding Finger", this woman mistakenly thought that there was a disciple of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao hidden among us. From the look of her, it seemed that she wanted to put the blame for the broken paper-binding technique on the non-existent Tianshi disciple.
"Who is talking about Longhu Mountain?" someone suddenly asked.
I saw two people walking out of the inn. The one who was speaking was a tall and thin young man with thin lips and raised eyebrows. He looked quite cynical.
Fake Qin Ran giggled and said, "That's what I said. Handsome guy, do you have any advice?"
The tall and thin man glanced at her and said calmly, "Can you say anything about Longhu Mountain? You'd better keep your mouth shut."
I saw a flash of anger on the fake Qin Ran's face. I'm afraid this woman has already moved her murderous intentions because of this sentence. The bald man called her and said, "Second brother, come back!"
The fake Qin Ran snorted coldly and had to turn back.
At this time, the tall and thin man suddenly asked, "What's wrong with this child?" He obviously saw He Baoer's strange appearance.
The bald man smiled and said, "This is my granddaughter. She has a strange disease and cannot see the light, so she wears a hood."
"Oh? You got a strange disease?" The tall and thin man sneered , "What kind of strange disease requires the use of origami?"
When these words were spoken, not only did Li Kun and his group change their expressions, we were also shocked.
"Haha, this is just a little gadget my daughter made with paper. I don't really understand what origami is." The bald man said with a smile on his face.
The tall and thin man snorted, "Stop playing tricks. Take it off and show it to me!"
As he said this, he went over and was about to tear off the paper cover on He Baoer's head.
The fake Qin Ran pulled He Baoer behind him, and the bald man stood up with a cane to stop the other party, "My granddaughter can't be seen in the light, I'm really embarrassed!"
This sudden accident made us nervous. After all, Baoer was in the hands of the other party, and we didn’t know what means were used on him. If something went wrong, Baoer’s life might be lost.
At this time, a clear voice said: "Everyone who comes from afar is a guest, please don't hurt the harmony!"
It turned out that it was the innkeeper's wife who came out. She asked the waiters to serve the dishes and came over with a smile to smooth things over.
When the tall and thin man saw the proprietress, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He and his companion went to find a table and sat down.
"Old Chen, I think those two should be young masters with some connections in their families." He Jintang came over and muttered.
I was curious: "How did you know?"
He Jintang laughed, "That's so easy. Look, that guy is even more cocky than me!"
This guy's train of thought is quite strange, but he was right about one thing. These two people are probably not simple.
Not long after, the food was served. Although it was rather simple, it contained meat and vegetables and tasted pretty good. Everyone was hungry after a tiring day, so they ate very happily.
I took a look and saw that our group had the most people, sitting at two tables. Li Kun's group sat at one table, and then there were two tall and thin men sitting at another table. There were not many other guests, and there were still quite a few empty tables left.
I heard that Pei Ji Inn is the last inn before entering the Yunling Mountains. If you go further, it will be hard to see any people. However, places like this are rarely visited, so it's no wonder that the business is so slow.
However, halfway through the meal, the inn welcomed a new wave of guests. They were four young people, two men and two women, wearing colorful mountaineering clothes. They seemed to be two couples who came here for adventure.
After these four people, another group of people came, a total of seven people, each of them carrying a large black bag and were taciturn.
The proprietress probably didn't expect that business would suddenly be so hot today, so she quickly ran to the kitchen to ask people to cook more food, and she was busy running around.
He Jintang and I finished our meal first, then got up and walked around.
"Do you think Bao'er will be okay? She looks like that... I always feel uneasy!" He Jintang said with a frown.
I said, "Don't worry, Baoer will definitely live longer than you."
He Jintang grinned and said, "That's right! By the way, who are those people you are talking about?" He raised his chin towards the group of seven people.
Before I could say anything, someone behind me interrupted and said, "It's probably poaching!"
We looked back and saw that it was Meng Dazhi. This man always looked arrogant, but somehow he came up to us and talked to us.
He Jintang raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know it was poached?"
Meng Dazhi said with a smile: "My master and I lived in the mountains for a few years before. We have seen many poachers like this. We can tell it is the real deal at a glance."
He Jintang didn't quite believe him. At this time, the beautiful proprietress came out of the inn, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and said with a smile: "It is fate that you all come to our store. Xiao Pei, I will use tea instead of wine to toast you all."
Everyone raised their glasses in response, and the two couples excitedly took out their phones to take pictures.
After everyone finished their drinks, the proprietress clapped her hands and said, "But there is one thing Xiao Pei must remind everyone of."
Seeing her serious words, everyone stopped talking. One of the girls in the couple asked with a smile, "Boss lady, what happened?"
The lady boss nodded and smiled, "Something has happened. I just received news that a man-eating monster has appeared on Maotou Mountain. So everyone should either walk around nearby or go home. Don't go into the mountain."
We had done our homework before coming here. The main peak of Wuliang Mountain is Bijia Mountain, which has an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and Maotou Mountain is one of the mountain ranges of Wuliang Mountain.
As soon as the proprietress finished speaking, loud laughter of “hahahaha” and “hehehe” broke out in the venue.
"Madam Boss, you really know how to joke!" The two couples laughed so hard.
The proprietress's expression remained unchanged. After everyone quieted down, she continued, "This is not a joke. My grandfather said that all kinds of strange things can happen in the mountains. I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
