Chapter 993 Don't Open the Door!
the other side.
During Fan Qingyi's journey back to Buddhism.
Su Ba came to a small border town in Aolai Kingdom.
night.
Quietly.
At this moment, it is not yet.
It stands to reason that this should be the peak period of nightlife in small towns.
There should be a lot of people on the street, and street vendors can be seen everywhere.
but.
It's quiet now, a little weird.
This is a world away from the scene of the Aolai Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away, full of people, and the scene is in full swing.
Su Ba stood alone on the street, his deep black eyes narrowed slightly.
Then he casually shrugged his shoulders.
I don't care.
He is a mid-celestial realm powerhouse, what is there to care about in the capital of mortals?
Walking all the way, in the silent street, only the sound of Su Ba's footsteps could be heard.
He looked around.
The surrounding people, the doors and windows were all closed, as if they were avoiding something.
Su Ba looked calm, found an inn, and started knocking on the door.
"Is there anyone who is staying?"
very quiet.
No one came to open the door.
I found several other inns, the same is true.
This made Su Ba feel a little funny.
Is it so hard to pay for a place to sleep well these days?
Although cultivators live from all over the world, regardless of the wind and rain, they can meditate and adjust their breath in any place outside.
But there are better places to go, and naturally you won't miss it.
It's like, you can go to eat, but you have to eat dirt. Isn't this looking for guilt?
Even if you want to exercise willpower, it is not such an exercise.
Sooner or later you will ruin yourself.
Plus, Su Ba originally planned to stay outside for a long time.
It would be better to have a comfortable environment.
Finally knocked on the door of a relatively large inn, but still got no response.
Su Ba shrugged, it seemed like he was going to spend the night outside casually tonight.
As for the strange phenomenon here, Su Ba has no interest in learning about it.
Just do your own thing.
If something really comes to you, let's talk about it.
present.
Under the eaves in front of the big inn, Su Ba sat down with his knees crossed and closed his eyes slightly.
only.
It was less than ten breaths before Su Ba sat down.
Suddenly, he frowned slightly.
"Squeak~"
The door of the big inn on the side was quietly opened with a small slit, and half a face appeared from the slit.
This half of the face is young and immature, and one of the exposed eyes is full of innocence, and it looks like a child.
Seeing Su Ba turn his head to look over, the child obviously shrank his head back and subconsciously wanted to close the door.
But in the end, he stopped the movement of his hand, and timidly leaned his head to the crack of the door and whispered.
"Brother, you... hurry in, it's not safe outside..."
"Oh why?"
Su Ba asked with a light smile.
"I... I'm not sure, anyway... Come in quickly..."
Fine.
Su Ba nodded, then stood up and walked over.
The little boy opened the door and Su Ba walked in. The little boy quickly closed the door, plugged in the plug, and breathed a sigh of relief.
See here.
Su Ba smiled, touched the little boy's head, and said.
"Why did you get up at night? What about the family?"
Su Ba's perception dispersed, and he did not find anyone else in the inn.
"My parents went out to stock up two days ago, and before they came back, the inn has been closed for two days.
Just before I left, I repeatedly told me that all doors and windows must be closed before Hai Shi tonight, and I went to bed early in the morning. "
The little boy scratched his head and said, "I just had a sudden urgency to urinate at night, so I came down to pee. Suddenly, I heard a brother outside the door saying that you wanted to stay, and after hesitating, I came to open the door."
"Oh? You're quite brave. The adults in the family are not here, so let the adults in."
"It's very dangerous outside. The later it gets, the more dangerous it is, and... brother, you don't look like a bad person..."
The little boy innocently looked at Su Ba with big eyes and said cautiously.
He also opened the crack of the door and observed Su Ba for a while before, and felt that he didn't look like a bad person, so he let Su Ba in.
"That's natural."
Su Ba smiled, "Little guy, what's your name?"
Su Ba still likes this innocent and kind little boy.
"My name is Yu Longlong, you can call me Longlong."
"Well, rumbling, then you can arrange a first-class room for me. I'll stay there. You should be able to open the room."
"Of course I will, I'm usually a good helper for my parents!"
The eighty-nine-year-old Longlong patted his chest proudly, then ran to the counter, stood on tiptoe, took down the account book from the counter, and wrote on it with a pen.
"Brother, you are so rich. As soon as you come, you will open a first-class room. Many uncles and sisters who usually come to our inn, few of them open."
While writing, rumbling was shocked
Sighing, then asked.
"Brother, how long do you need to stay? I'll give you the total cost of the deposit plus the house price."
"Hehe, then don't make a mistake."
Su Ba laughed.
"Don't worry, as a computing genius, I usually pay for meals from guests."
rumbling loudly.
Children of this age have a very strong desire to express themselves. Seeing that someone seems to look down on him, even if they are just joking, they will immediately be convinced.
Su Ba was a little happy, this child is quite cute.
"Okay, let me open for three months here..."
"Oh, brother is going to drive the first class for three months... uh... brother, are you right?"
Longlong was picking up the pen to calculate, and was suddenly stunned.
He raised his head and looked at Su Ba, his little face was full of confusion.
If he heard correctly, the cool big brother in front of him seems to be opening a first-class room for three months, and it seems that it will only take three months for the foundation...
"Yes, three months, do the math."
Suba smiled.
"Oh oh."
Longlong glanced at Su Ba as if he were looking at a local tyrant, and immediately began to count excitedly.
I never thought that I would meet such a big customer in a moment of kindness.
At least three months of first-class housing, a lot of money.
In this case, even if the parents knew that they secretly opened the door, they probably wouldn't blame him.
"One day in a first-class house is 12 ordinary coins, and three months is 30 times 3, which is 90 days...
The money needed for 90 days is, 90 times 10, plus 90 times 2, how much is it..."
Longlong took a pen and typed a draft on the paper, and occasionally stretched out his little hand to break it, and sometimes his eyes twitched a few times.
Su Ba was not in a hurry, quietly watching Rumble and calculating.
"Oh yeah, I got it!"
After more than a dozen breaths, Longlong suddenly jumped up excitedly, picked up the ledger and confronted Su Ba Dao.
"Brother, if you plan to live in a first-class room for 90 days, the room fee is 1,080 ordinary coins, and the deposit is 10%, which adds up to 1,188 ordinary coins.
Although you are a new face, brother, but the cost is huge, I will give you a discount and a fraction.
Finally, brother, you only need to hand me 1100 ordinary coins! "
Rumble spoke, shook his head, and looked like a little adult.
Pretty good at doing business!
"Okay, here it is."
Su Ba smiled and took out 11 gold coins from the storage space and handed them to Longlong.
A gold coin is 100 regular coins.
As for the gold coins, when Su Ba went shopping with Wang Xiaoyi in Aolai Guoguo before, he exchanged a lot of low-grade immortal stones for a lot.
"Wow, got rich!"
Little stars appeared in his eyes, and he cheered, and put 11 gold coins into his pocket.
"Welcome to Yujia Inn, Yu Longlong is very honored to serve you!"
Longlong happily bowed to Su Ba.
really.
The rich is the uncle.
This child is obviously more enthusiastic than before.
Su Ba laughed and walked upstairs with the room number.
"Longlong, it's very late, you are a child, hurry up and go to bed."
hear this.
The originally happy little face suddenly tightened, and then he was busy trotting and following Su Ba upstairs.
"By the way, brother, you seem to be out of town. Maybe you don't know this very well. There is one thing I want to tell you. You must listen carefully."
The expression on Longlong's small face was also very serious.
"Well, let's talk."
As Su Ba walked, he looked at Rumble beside him.
Rumble took a few steps forward, approached Su Ba, and motioned Su Ba to bend over.
Suba did as he did.
Immediately, Longlong stood on tiptoe and whispered in Su Ba's ear.
"Brother, tonight, if you haven't slept yet and hear someone knocking on the door, don't open it!"
Um?
Su Ba raised his brows.
Presumably, there might be some mystery here.
Combined with the repeated instructions from Rumble's parents to Rumble, and the fact that the streets outside this small border town are now empty and silent...
"Longlong, why can't you open the door, do you know what?"
"Actually, I'm not very clear about this."
Longlong scratched his hair, "On this day every year, my parents were there and put me to bed very early. Once I fell asleep, it was not easy to wake up, and I couldn't hear the knock on the door.
However, this rumor has been widely circulated in our small town.
In fact, when you knocked on the door, brother, I didn't dare to open it, and I didn't know why, so I opened it..."
"Well, well, I know, I will pay attention, you should go to bed early."
Since the child didn't know, Su Ba stopped asking too much.
"Okay, good night brother."
Rumbling said hello, went to the second floor, ran into his room quickly, and then closed the door.
Seeing Rumble entering the room, Su Ba withdrew his gaze.
Holding the house sign, Su Ba walked into his room.
room and close the door.
With the sound of the door closing with a 'bang', the surroundings became quiet again.
"At midnight, if you hear a knock on the door, don't open it, right..."
Su Ba casually sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes as deep as a starry sky shone with an unknown and strange light.
interesting.
However, Su Ba didn't particularly care.
He closed his eyes slightly, and began to adjust his breath and meditate to settle his martial arts.
Time passed quietly.
After a long time, the time has come.
Cold.
Su Ba suddenly opened his eyes.
Subsequently.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The knock on the door was really loud.
