Chapter 143
Nearing the evening, Guo Yufei and Yan Ruojuan passed by a small town. They thought it was already getting late and they might have to sleep in the wilderness if they went further. After discussion, they decided to stay in the town. After getting off the official road, they turned into a small road and galloped.
Entering the town, I saw that the town was somewhat rundown, not very popular, and had few shops.
"This is a small town, but there are no inns." Yan Ruojuan couldn't help but worry. Looking left and right, she saw an old man with gray hair lying on the ground under a willow tree, smoking a cigarette leisurely and unable to stop talking.
It puffed out white smoke and looked contented.
Yan Ruokuan dismounted, walked forward, bent her knees slightly, and asked: "Old man, where is this place? Is there an inn where passing travelers can rest?"
The old man got up in a hurry. He was very short and stooped, but he was very fat. He had gray hair, dark skin, and an unusually long chin.
He returned the gift and said politely: "The name of this place is Erli Town. It got this name because the town is very small, no more than two miles long. There is only one inn. If you two want to go, the little boy is willing to help and take you there.
You two come over."
Yan Ruokuan nodded: "Then there will be Mr. Lao."
The old man was very happy and said hurriedly: "Girl, get on your horse quickly and I will lead you over."
Yan Ruojuan heard what he meant and knew that he probably wanted to earn some hard-earned money for leading the way, so she stopped being polite, got on her horse, and the old man happily led the two of them into the town.
The two horses were riding side by side. Guo Yufei and Yan Ruojuan were also in love. They looked at me and I looked at you on the horse. Guo Yufei couldn't help but hold Yan Ruojuan's hand, and Yan Ruojuan also held his hand.
As they stood, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, both of them feeling sweet in their hearts.
Not long after, I came to an inn. The inn was not big, with only four or five guest rooms. There was a stable built in the small courtyard at the back. At this time, there was a big bay horse inside, chewing grass.
The old man shouted roughly into the inn lobby: "Innkeeper, innkeeper, we have a guest, why don't you come out to greet us?" Then he said to Yan Ruojuan with a smile, "Girl, although this inn is a bit small, it's still pretty good.
It’s clean and tidy, but it’s good enough for a night’s stay.”
Yan Ruojuan thanked him again, took out a handful of coins and handed them to the old man.
After the old man got the money, he smiled happily and said a lot of auspicious words before turning and leaving. Guo and Yan got off their horses and walked towards the inn. Only then did someone from the store come out to greet them and took the reins: "Please, please, please."
.”
Then he yelled into the store: "Damn it, there's a customer!"
Apparently, this inn is run by a couple from the town, and they don't hire any other waiters. Anyway, there are only a few guests, so they can keep busy.
Guo and Yan asked for a guest room to stay, wash and sleep.
Late at night, I suddenly heard a very slight sound coming from the window lattice. Guo Yufei didn't notice it, but Yan Ruojuan had woken up, straightened up suddenly, and saw a figure outside the window, and heard the person say: "Come out,
Just yourself." It was Elder Ma's voice.
Yan Ruojuan's heart suddenly dropped, and she said in her heart: "It's over. I'm afraid Master will know about Guo Yufei and I." She didn't dare to disobey, so she hurriedly got out of bed, put on her clothes lightly, and went out. Come.
When I went to the veranda outside the house and looked out the window, my heart couldn't help but drop again, and a layer of sticky sweat was secreted on my back.
It turned out that the person standing under the window was the old man who had led her to the store. At this time, the old man was still hunched over, but his eyes were shining brightly. Just from his eyes, you could tell that he was Elder Ma in disguise.
"Let's go." Elder Ma said and stepped forward, Yan Ruojuan following closely.
After leaving the inn, leaving the town, and arriving in the suburbs. In a patch of long grass, Elder Ma suddenly stopped, turned around, and glared at Yan Ruojuan: "My good disciple, you are really very good.
The elbow has turned outward."
"Disciple doesn't dare!" Yan Ruokuan hurriedly bowed down.
Elder Ma strode forward, suddenly raised his hand, slapped Yan Ruokuan's ear, and said sternly: "No? Are you and that kid's sweet demeanor just an act? You guys squeezed into a small bed at night, and the bed squeaked.
It rang in the middle of the night, what are you doing? Are you practicing Yin Jue?"
Yan Ruokuan's face turned red, she lowered her head and said nothing.
"Are you in love with that boy, or can't you resist the temptation of his skin?"
"I……"
"Confused! He is not the Second Young Master! He is just an ordinary country boy! Silly and stupid! He is just one of our puppets. How can you fall in love with such a person? How can you guard against him if you are sincerely attracted to him?
Him, use him? Huh?"
"Master, my disciple believes that Guo Yufei is not stupid, and he seems to have enlightened himself recently and has practiced extremely quickly. He has now reached the third level of Green Light."
"Hmph... you have already said this in your letter. It is not unusual to be promoted to the third level of green light after taking so many elixirs from me and my junior brother."
Elder Ma looked at Yan Ruokuan with an extremely majestic expression, but did not speak. Yan Ruokuan felt that the mountain was approaching the top, and it was difficult to move, and she did not dare to speak easily.
"Ruojuan..." Elder Ma slowly spoke after a while, "More than ten years ago, if I hadn't taken you in... would you still be alive?"
"If it weren't for Master, I would have become a lonely ghost long ago."
"Well... you still remember."
"The disciple will never forget, the disciple will always be loyal to the master."
"Ruojuan, my teacher knew that Ping'er was a serious problem, but he spared her life and took risks for you. Do you know?"
"Disciples naturally know that master's kindness will be engraved in their hearts."
Elder Ma nodded: "Okay, according to what you said, I am as kind as a mountain to you. How can you repay me in return?"
"Yes, as long as the master gives orders, the disciple will not hesitate to die."
Elder Ma sneered: "I won't let you die, but let you kill someone tonight?"
"Yes, who did the master ask the disciple to kill?" As Yan Ruojuan said these words, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in her mind, and she immediately guessed that the person in the master's mouth must be Guo Yufei, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble, but she hurriedly
Tell yourself, don't panic, don't be frightened, try your best to finish the sentence without showing any emotion.
"You go back and kill Guo Yufei now."
Sure enough, killing Guo Yufei was a test? If it was a test, how should she react? She Fei had several ideas in mind, but she had no time to think about it carefully.
She slowly raised her head, looked at Elder Ma and said, "Kill him... what should we do in the future?"
"I thought about it. It is wishful thinking and absolutely impossible for him to cultivate to the fifth level of Lanxia before Mrs. Guo comes back. So what's the use of keeping him? It's better to get rid of him as soon as possible and we can find another way out."
"But...Master."
"What? You want to beg me to spare his life? You have known each other for less than half a year and we have a deep friendship. You lost your virginity to him. I just assumed that you were confused for a moment and didn't go into details. You need to think carefully about what you are going to say next.
