Chapter 73:A Woman Comes at Night Seeking Shelter

It is not yet night, and this road is empty.

Not even the passing people.

In the distance, some strange cries of unknown animals began to sound, like ghosts wailing, making people feel a little creepy and heart-to-heart.

Even the guards of the Li family, a bold day on weekdays, but to enter the night, there is a little nervous.

This is about the world, the demonic thing has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no one will think that ghosts are just superstitions, legends.

So the general trend, the people of this world are full of fear of such things.

"Young master, the horse is in the night, we can't go like this to see the mountains, we have to hurry a day to go, small look or find a place to rest, wait until tomorrow morning after the departure, and late to the road, is also very dangerous."The iron mountain looked around the deserted mountains and mountains, some nervous roads.

Li Xiuyuan naturally knew that the sky was late, but there was nothing along the way, and there was a place to settle.

Is it really in the wilderness?

"There's an abandoned post station, and we're going there to settle down."Li Xiu pointed to the front.

Next to the road, a post station that has been abandoned for some years is still located there, not collapsed.

The people answered and immediately came to the station and got off the horse.

These guards also have the experience of walking outside, after dismounting, they are very good at taking care of the horses, moving down the box, picking up dry wood, and burning a bonfire.

After a while, the abandoned station was simply cleaned up.

"Young master, there is a room over there, it is more complete, a little packed, some hay and a blanket, and the young master will sleep there later."Iron Mountain said.

Li Xiu nodded his head from afar: "Let's eat something first, remember to leave two people on guard."

"Small knowledge."The mountain nods.

"Li, brother Li, there is no pond here, in the bottom of the body is in disrepair, want to wash."

Wang Ping, who came down the carriage, asked with some embarrassment.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's so late, you still don't go to the pond to clean, I remember there is a dilapidated water tank, there is some water in it, you go there for a while to clean it."

"Well, well, thank you, Brother Lee."Wang Ping immediately left gratefully.

"There is a well next to this station, and the young master can let him go outside to clean it, and the province will disturb us here."Iron Mountain said.

Li Xiuyuan laughed; "His yang is too weak, far away from us, and he will hit the ghost again, and it will not make him roll into the mud so simple, just afraid that tomorrow will become a corpse."

"Not so evil."

Several people nearby, along with the Iron Mountain, were startled.

“What do you say?”Li Xiuyuan laughed, but did not say much.

Soon, the night grew stronger, the station, the other guards went to rest, leaving only two guard yawning, sitting on the ground.

The two guards surrounded the bonfire, adding firewood from time to time to ensure that the bonfires would not be extinguished, so as not to attract nearby beasts.

“Oo, uh!”

The cold wind of the night blew into the dilapidated post station, and all kinds of strange sounds sounded.

At first began to pay attention, but after getting used to it, it was not a matter of being, whether to sleep or to sleep, the vigil should be a vigil.

“The thump!The thump!“The Bam!”

At midnight, suddenly, the cool breeze outside was getting stronger, and a knock on the door sounded from outside the post station.

The other guards slept to death, and did not hear, and only two watchmen heard.

“Someone just knocked on the door.”

"Where there is a knock on the door, you are the back of the ear, these three more midnight, in addition to us, some people will come here to knock on the door, don't quarrel, let me take a nap, you guard first, after two hours I will change my shift."

Another guard said, turning around and then a snail.

Another guard also felt that he might have heard wrongly, and did not think much.

“The thump!“The Bam!”

But soon, there was a knock on the door outside.

"It's a knock on the door."This guard immediately became alert and suddenly became cautious.

Through the old post-station door, he could see a shadow outside.

"Whoever, who's knocking on the door."The guard whispered, and the hand had clasped the waist knife.

This barren mountain may be what kind of beast smells of human smelling of people knocking on the door outside, but it can't be taken care of.

He thought, as soon as something wrong, he immediately wakes his companion.

Are the two dozen men afraid that any beast will not fail, even evil spirits and demons, and will also retreat?

"It is a passer-by, see here the fire want to come in and settle down, but also please be convenient."

Listening to this voice is a woman's voice, soft and pleasant, let people involuntarily put down their vigilance.

“Are you alone?”The guard did not rush to open the door, but went to the door and looked at it.

"I'm alone, and I'll ask this big brother to do something convenient."The girl’s voice sounded again.

The guard really saw a beautiful woman wearing a red dress, combing her buns, and looked like a beautiful woman.

The woman carried a package, her face was dodging, and she seemed to be a little restrained.

"It's a girl, it's cold outside at night, come in and settle down."

The guard saw a female streamer, immediately put down his vigilance, opened the door, let her in.

“Oh, hey!”

As soon as the door opened, a cloud blew in, and the guard immediately got goosebumps.

"The wind outside is cold enough, and if the girl doesn't mind, go and roast the fire, and it's warm there."The guard said with great interest.

After the woman came in, as soon as she looked around, she could not help frown when she saw the blazing flame, but when she saw the two dozen men who fell to the ground and slept, they shone, some cheerfully.

"I'm not cold, I'm looking for a place to rest for a night."The girl laughed.

The fire-flaring face, though smeared with some rouge powder, was difficult to cover her pale face.

"Girls are inconvenient, aren't they, too, here are our brothers, and it's not very convenient for you to be a girl."The guard smiled a little embarrassedly: "If the girl does not dislike it, rest there, and make sure that no one disturbs."

“Thank you, brother.”The girl is grateful.

The guard smiled; "This is a small thing, if you meet my big young master, you will take care of the girl, after all, when you go out, who has no difficulty."

"Well, don't disturb the girl to rest, I'll keep watch."

I finished pointing it out.

The woman nodded her head and sat down next to her without a word.

But a pair of eyes are always in everyone's body, especially in the guard of the vigil, but also stay for a long time.
