Chapter 39 Yin Shop
"That old man is really bad. He lied to us that he could reach Fu'an County at the foot of the Minzu Mountain in a long time. As a result, it was getting dark now, but we were still wandering around the mountainside where there was no village in front and no shop behind!"
Walking on the ancient road in the wilderness, Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh at the vast and bleak scene around him.
"Senior, it's all my fault that I didn't find out clearly, which made me suffer." Shi Xiaofei, who was beside him, felt ashamed after hearing this.
It was the next evening since they left Qingping. Last night they stayed in a village where they were passing by. Due to the distant people and land, Shi Xiaofei inevitably needed to ask for directions from time to time to know the specific location of his trip to the Manila Mountains.
When they were about to set off in the morning, Shi Xiaofei asked the local villagers about the road, but the villagers said nothing, which greatly misled them.
"This has nothing to do with you, everything is the fault of that old man." Xia Fan curled his lips. "I don't mind sleeping in the wilderness, I just mind going in the wrong direction."
"Young man is sure that we didn't go the wrong direction." Shi Xiaofei raised his hand and pointed to the direction where the sunset was setting. "Because we are all heading west along the way, even if we deviate, we can't move much."
"Young man, do you know what a slight difference is, and it's a huge mistake?" Xia Fan said angrily. "If we take a day's detour, it may take two or three days to get back on track in the end."
"What I said at the end is that I know I am wrong."
Shi Xiaofei touched the back of his head awkwardly.
“Huh?”
After walking for a while, Xia Fan, who was bored on the horse, suddenly had his eyes lit up because he actually saw a faint light of fire in the distance.
"Senior? What's wrong?" Shi Xiaofei responded quickly.
"Didn't you see it? There is a fire in the distance, which means we may not have to sleep in the wilderness tonight." As he said that, Xia Fan clamped his horse's belly and slowly began to speed up towards the fire. "Let's go over quickly while the sky has not completely darkened!"
Fire.
From a cyan paper lantern hanging on a long pole.
There is a brightly lit inn behind the lantern, and you can even hear the noise from the inn from afar.
"There is an inn in this wilderness? Could it be that we encountered the legendary black shop?"
Xia Fan stopped in front of the lantern, staring at the inn in front of him with thoughtful thoughts.
"Senior, this is not a black store, because black store does not hang lanterns." Shi Xiaofei pointed to the blue lantern on his fingertip with a serious expression. "As far as I know, those who can hang blue lanterns are often Yindian!"
"Yindian? What kind of store is this? Is it a store that specializes in receiving mountain spirits and ghosts?" Xia Fan said with great interest.
"Senior, the so-called Yin Store is not a store for ghosts, and the guests received by Yin Store are often more terrifying than ghosts." Shi Xiaofei said solemnly.
"Oh? That's interesting." Xia Fan snapped his fingers immediately, drove the horse and walked slowly towards the inn. "We might as well go and have a look."
"Senior, wait for me."
As he said that, Shi Xiaofei hurriedly chased after him.
"By the way, Shi Xiaofei, how did you know about Yindian?"
On the way, Xia Fan asked curiously.
"This is what my adoptive father told me during his lifetime." Shi Xiaofei whispered. "He once warned me that when I go out, I must not trespass into a Yin shop, otherwise there will be more dangers."
"Welcome to two guests!"
When they approached the inn gate, a young man dressed in a waiter suddenly came up from the dark.
"Why don't you ask us whether we play first or stay in a hotel?"
Xia Fan looked at the smiling young waiter in front of him and said.
"Is it the first time for two guests?" the young waiter said enthusiastically.
"Yes, so I want to know how different you are from inns elsewhere."
Xia Fan turned over and dismounted, glanced at the young waiter and looked at the inn that covers a lot of space.
"If the guest wants to know, why don't you come in and take a look?" the young waiter said with a more intense smile.
"I'm just planning to do this."
Xia Fan directly handed the reins of the horse to the young waiter and walked straight to the inn.
Seeing this, Shi Xiaofei had to follow him closely.
Standing in front of the closed door of the inn, Xia Fan heard the noisy noise in the lobby. However, when he pushed open the door with both hands, the noise suddenly came to an abrupt end.
"Good evening everyone!"
In the inn lobby.
Almost everyone was full of people at the table and chairs. What was even more strange was that everyone was wearing a leather mask with a smile on his face, and at the same time they turned their heads and looked at Xia Fan at the door.
Faced with such a terrifying scene, Xia Fan smiled, waved his hand and greeted everyone, and then stepped into the lobby without hesitation.
Bang—
The moment Shi Xiaofei stepped into the inn lobby behind him, the door behind him automatically closed, which scared Shi Xiaofei so much that he shivered, and at the same time he followed Xia Fan even more without hesitation.
Under the gaze of countless smiling faces, Xia Fan slowly walked to a table and chair with an empty seat.
"May I ask, don't you mind the two of us sitting here?"
There are people in tables and chairs, but there is only one person.
Out of politeness, Xia Fan also specifically solicited the other party's opinions.
“…”
The people on the table and chair stared at Xia Fan for a while, and finally nodded slightly.
"Thank you."
Xia Fan smiled at the other party, pulled open the chair and sat down without hesitation. Seeing Shi Xiaofei still stunned by his side, he immediately reached out and patted him.
"Stop standing, sit down quickly, otherwise it will make you look so out of place!"
"Okay senior! I'll sit here."
Shi Xiaofei sat down slowly when he heard this, but he kept burying his head and dared not look at the eyes of the people around him.
With Shi Xiaofei's seat, the smiling masked men present withdrew their gazes, as if nothing had happened, and they started talking to each other. The scene became noisy again.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Xia Fan looked at the stranger opposite the table with curious expression and said.
"This is not where you should be."
The other party was silent for a while and deliberately lowered his voice.
"That's strange. Why can you come? Can't we come?" Xia Fan said carelessly.
"Do you know where this is?" the other party said coldly.
"Isn't this a Yindian?" Xia Fan asked back.
"Since you know this is a Yindian, why do you still dare to come in?" the other party said in a deep voice.
"Of course we stay in a hotel!" Xia Fan said naturally. "If we are already dark and unable to rush to travel, we can't have a place to stay and sleep in the wild."
