Chapter 3 After the Fright
At dawn, Wang Jinbao, who had red eyes and seemed to have not slept all night, did not open the inn door as usual, but carefully and with a little fear, he first pressed his head on the door, as if he wanted to hear the movement outside the door and then decide whether to open the door.
The movements last night really scared this young man who was a little dull but gentle on weekdays.
"Brother Jinbao, what are you doing?" Bai Shier, who is also a friend, also walked out of the door at normal times. Compared to Wang Jinbao's bloodshot, he looked almost like he had not slept all night. He seemed to be in good condition. Although there were also a lot of blood in his eyes, his spirit was much stronger than Wang Jinbao. After all, he was still in a good mood to make fun of him. After all, he, the witness, knew exactly why Wang Jinbao looked like this.
"I, I..." If a silly and treacherous person like Li Dali heard Bai Shier's joke, he would immediately hold a gun and a stick, and then he would retort with a lot of dirty words. However, Wang Jinbao, who was not good at speaking and even less social, took Bai Shier's joke seriously and quickly pointed outside, but he couldn't say a complete sentence in his mouth.
"Hi, Brother Jinbao, it's okay," Bai Shier was speechless and a little bit self-blame, and quickly comforted him, "It's already dawn. No matter how small the town is, there is an official to protect the safety. Can those strong men rush in and kill people and rob people in broad daylight?"
"Well," Wang Jinbao was stunned for a moment and came to his senses, nodded subconsciously, "Yes." As he said, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he quickly opened the door and removed the door panel. His hands, which were slightly trembling, indicated that he still had not calm down.
After Bai Shier and Wang Jinbao cleaned the inside and outside of the inn as usual, the shopkeeper Sun Ji finally stared at the same dark circles and red eyes and appeared in front of the two.
The sun finally rose completely, and the silent town seemed to have finally woken up and regained its vitality.
Looking at the bustling town, no one would have thought that someone might have died here last night.
Early in the morning, there were no guests in the inn. Bai Shier, who was frightened last night, Wang Jinbao and Sun Ji took the opportunity to doze. As for Li Dali, who was holding the spoon, he was embarrassed. He would not get up until the sun was ready to get up.
Bai Shier, sitting on a stool, leaning against the table, was not really asleep at this time. On the contrary, his mind was rotating rapidly and thinking.
"Li Dali said that he smelled blood last night, which means that the person who knocked on the door last night must have been injured, or that his weapon was stained with blood. No matter what the situation was, there was always a trace left. Why did I searched for it but found nothing? Could it be that the blood in the wound had begun to solidify?"
Bai Shier frowned and denied this speculation in an instant.
"It is impossible. The person who chased him was so urgent. He could not stop. As he continued to run rapidly, the wound could not stop bleeding so easily."
If this possibility is eliminated, the most likely situation is only one.
"That's the group of people who are chasing them wiped out the traces!"
Thinking of this, Bai Shier couldn't help but feel a stern. If the facts were as he guessed, then what happened last night would be even more extraordinary.
However, thinking that Li Dali had already cut off the oil lamp before the group of people he was chasing last night arrived outside the inn gate, Bai Shier breathed a sigh of relief:
"I think that group of people would think that we in the inn had already gone to bed. In this way, we should be without any danger to others in the inn."
Thinking of this, Bai Shier couldn't help but think of Li Dali's various behaviors last night.
Although he had thought about it for a long time last night, he had only experienced such a dangerous moment at that time, and his mind might not be calm enough, so he couldn't help but think about Li Dali's identity again.
Li Dali was full of brute force. Although he could use the heavy wok to cover it, his cooking skills were obviously not worthy of all this. If he really had to practice brute force in order to use the heavy wok to move the heavy wok, then it would be impossible for him to make such obviously inappropriate food after more than ten years of immersed in cooking skills.
Thinking of this, Bai Shier couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Is this Li Dali really a master who retires to the world?"
Just as Bai Shier was immersed in his imagination world, a figure who was a little timid, glanced left and right from time to time, slowly moved towards the counter of the inn.
Bai Shier, not far from the door, had already discovered the other party before the figure came in. He originally planned to get up to welcome the guests immediately, but after seeing the other party's identity clearly, he narrowed his eyes again and pretended to be sleepy.
"Hey." After the visitor arrived at the counter, he immediately wanted to use a strong lowering voice to wake up Sun Ji who was sleeping. The shopkeeper Sun Ji also woke up as he wished, looking in the direction where the sound came with nervousness and defense.
"Huh," After seeing the figure in front of him, the shopkeeper Sun Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then glared at the figure in front of him with some anger, and spoke with an unconscious expression, "It's the shopkeeper Gu, why, is there anything wrong this early morning?"
"Hey," Although he saw Sun Ji's unhappiness, the shopkeeper Gu had no idea of embarrassment. Instead, he turned his head to Sun Ji a little closer, tried his best to lower his throat, and whispered, "Shopkeeper Sun, did you rest in the inn last night?"
"So what?" Sun Ji's displeasure had turned into disgust. Obviously, he was very impatient with the actions and words of the shopkeeper Gu. "Does the shopkeeper Gu still plan to sue me with Dong Ma's family?"
"Hey, Shopkeeper Sun, where are you thinking." Shopkeeper Gu quickly waved his hand and signaled that he had no intention. Then he still maintained that awkward posture, and said in a low voice, "Since Shopkeeper Sun, you rested in the inn last night, did you hear anything last night?"
At this moment, the disgust on Sun Ji's face instantly turned into shock. He didn't care about the various disagreements and conflicts with the shopkeeper Gu on weekdays. He quickly lowered his voice and asked, "So, shopkeeper Gu, you also heard it last night?"
Manager Gu did not speak, but nodded slightly proudly, not knowing what to be proud of. If he had seen his appearance, Sun Ji was afraid that he would have been unhappy and was about to drive him away, but at this moment he was crushed by what happened last night and didn't care about so much, so he hurriedly continued to ask.
"Shopkeeper Gu, you are well-informed on weekdays. Have you heard any news again this time?"
"Is this..." Just now, the shopkeeper Gu, who wanted to spread the news all over the world immediately, became irritated after Sun Ji spoke, and then glanced at Bai Shier and retracted his neck that had just stretched back, making Bai Shier who had been silently observing him feel that he should have the bloodline of some kind of long-lived creature. The next moment, Bai Shier's feeling became even stronger.
