280. Chapter 280 The Weird Inn
Ye Zhen knew that there would be a disaster in Huaijiang this year without divination, but it hadn't happened yet, Qi Jin had already gone to Huaijiang earlier, she didn't know if Qi Jin had also moved earlier in her previous life, but it was useless, in the two In the rainy season a few months later, Huaijiang will still have a plague, and she can only know so much. As for why the plague will happen, and what will happen to Huaijiang, she really doesn't know anything, even if she wants to do it in advance Something, don't know where to start.
"I did a divination last night." Ye Zhen whispered, "It's a natural disaster."
Huangfuchen was slightly taken aback, could she predict that it was a natural or man-made disaster? He did the divination yesterday, but there was no such hexagram. Although it was an ominous hexagram, it was vague and unchangeable. Judging from the hexagram, Huaijiang was full of variables.
"Natural and man-made disasters?" Huangfuchen asked again.
Ye Zhen nodded lightly, "Master, maybe my divination was wrong."
Huangfu Chen frowned and shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you predict that it was an ominous hexagram last time? Although we can't change this kind of hexagram, we must find ways to reduce casualties. Let's rush to Huaijiang as soon as possible."
"Okay, master." Ye Zhen said, there are still two months to go, and Qi Jin has already rushed to Huaijiang, "Master, why don't we send a letter to Qi Yizheng first, so that she can be prepared. "
"You go and write the letter, and I'll arrange for someone to send it to my aunt." Huangfuchen said.
Ye Zhen responded with a smile. She didn't dare to expect that the natural disasters and man-made disasters in Huaijiang could be changed with the little impression of her previous life, but if there is a little help, it is also to be won.
She went back to the carriage to write a letter, but said that it was Huangfu Chen who predicted good or bad fortune, and named Qi Jin about the possible disasters in Huaijiang. She could not say much, because she already knew that. It would be even better if the magistrate of Huaiyang could assist her.
Their carriage had traveled the mountain road for a day, and finally came to a village before the sun went down.
Huangfuchen said, "This village is not big, and it may be difficult to find a decent inn. Let's find a place where we can stay overnight."
It was getting late now, there were no pedestrians on the road, only an oil lamp was lit in a dilapidated inn next to the entrance of the village, Ye Zhen and Huang Fuchen looked at each other, they seemed to have no other choice but to spend the night here.
They parked the carriage outside the door of the inn, and the boy who drove the carriage went to look for horse feed, Huangfu Chen and Ye Zhen entered the inn together.
The inn only had one shopkeeper, not even a clerk. The shopkeeper sat behind the table and dozed off, but didn't notice any guests coming in. It was Huangfuchen who coughed lightly that woke him up.
"Guest officer, are you guys going to be top?" The shopkeeper hurriedly stood up, rubbed his eyes and looked at Huangfuchen.
"We want to stay, do you have any rooms here?" Huangfuchen asked lightly, raised his eyes to look at the inn, although it looked small, it was still clean.
The shopkeeper seemed a little surprised, "Do you want to stay?"
"Is there no room?" Huangfu Chen asked.
"Oh, yes! Yes!" The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, and quickly said with a smile on his face, "Does the guest want to live in a Tianzizi shop or a local shop?"
Ye Zhen thought it was funny that such a small inn still had a Tianzizi and a Dizizizi.
Huangfuchen said with a faint smile, "Two Tianzihao."
"Guest officer, please come this way." The shopkeeper led them upstairs with an oil lamp.
Ye Zhen followed Huangfuchen. She looked at the inn suspiciously. It was strange that although the inn was dilapidated, it could be seen that it was exquisite regardless of the layout. If there is such an inn in this village, then this village should be quite prosperous. .
"We don't have many customers coming here already. Guest officer, you must be hungry on your way. I'll ask my mother-in-law to cook you something to eat." The shopkeeper said with a smile in front.
"Then I'll be the shopkeeper." Huangfu Chen said.
There are only two houses in Tianzihao, and it can be seen that they were originally the same wing room, but they were separated into two rooms later, but they are still clean, and the newly taken out mattresses do not smell damp.
After the shopkeeper retreated, Ye Zhen went to look for Huang Fuchen.
"Master, don't you think this inn is strange?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, "Look at these furniture, which one is not a boutique, isn't this a small village? How can there be such an inn?"
Huangfuchen said, "I've noticed it too, I'll go outside to have a look in a while, you go back to the house and rest."
Now that the master said so, Ye Zhen had no choice but to go back to the room first. After a while, the shopkeeper brought them dinner. It was just some coarse food, but it seemed to be cooked very carefully.
Ye Zhen tried it with a silver needle and asked Daimei to eat with her if there was no problem.
After a day's journey, she was also a little tired, but she was afraid of going to sleep because she was worried about something wrong with the inn. It was not until Huang Fuchen told her that everything was fine, that she finally fell asleep with peace of mind.
The next day, Ye Zhen got up early, and there was also smoke slowly rising in the village, but the whole village seemed very quiet, with very few people.
"Shopkeeper, what village is this?" Ye Zhen asked curiously while sitting by the window, holding the meat bun that the shopkeeper just brought up.
"This is Gujia Village." The shopkeeper said in a low voice, "Guest officer, where are you going?"
Ye Zhen didn't answer him, but continued to ask, "Did the people in your village go to work in the fields so early?"
The shopkeeper laughed dryly and said, "Yeah, I'm all off to work."
"Master, drink tea." Ye Zhen poured a cup of tea that she brewed for Huangfu Chen.
Huangfuchen put down the steamed stuffed bun that he hadn't even bitten yet, but Ye Zhen took a sip of tea, nodded with a smile, "Yeah, good tea."
Naturally it is good tea, she made the tea with Lingquan added, originally she didn't want Master to drink Lingquan water, but the shopkeeper of this inn made people feel weird, yesterday's food was fine, but the steamed stuffed buns delivered this morning People dare not bite down.
Seeing them drinking tea, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and winked at the woman who was hiding aside.
"Master, let's set off." Ye Zhen felt that the whole village was a little weird, and urged Huangfuchen to leave quickly.
Huangfuchen was about to get up, but found that Daimei and Quanfu, who was driving the car, had already lay on the table and did not move.
"Daimei, Quanfu?" Ye Zhen was startled, she just asked them to drink tea, didn't they?
"Yaoyao!" Huangfuchen called her in a low voice, "Go out and see if the carriage is still there?"
Ye Zhen stood up and ran out, she did not see their carriage.
She was about to tell Huangfu Chen, but found that several big men appeared in the inn, holding a knife on Huangfu Chen's neck.
