Chapter 30
After the old man made the bed, the old man respectfully said to Shen Lin: "Master, please rest at ease. I brought these beddings from home specially. The conditions here are limited, so I feel sorry for you, Master!"

Shen Lin looked at it, the quilt was clean, and it could be seen that the old man was very dedicated to the inn.What's more, Shen Lin even slept on the grass on the way to drive the corpse, now there is a tile to cover his head, a bed and a quilt, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Shen Lin said to the old man: "Thank you for your hard work, and now you are fine." Looking at the old man in front of him, at such an age, it was not easy to move the bedding up from the mountain, so Shen Lin naturally would not be picky.

Seeing Shen Lin nodding, the old man carefully pushed it out, letting Shen Lin rest at ease.

……

After going downstairs, the old man hurried down the mountain to go to the market to buy something. The little grandson was about to go with him, but was left behind by his grandfather: "Stay here for me and listen to orders. Don't disturb the master's rest. , I'll be right there, do you hear me?"

After finishing speaking, he went down the mountain without waiting for his grandson's answer. He walked like flying, not at all as old as before. The old man looked at the sun and was not worried that Shen Lin would leave when he went down the mountain. This ancestral tradition I didn't complete the ceremony of welcoming the walking master. I can't lose the chain in this ceremony of sending off the walking master!
Thinking of this, his steps became faster, and he had to come back before dark!

The little grandson looked back at the coffins of these two heroic things and the barren mountains outside the wooden house, and wondered from the bottom of his heart if he was the grandson of his grandfather...

At dusk, two figures were coming from the distant woods, a man and a woman.

The woman was handsome and lovely, with a melon-shaped face, petite figure, and wearing a white dress.The man looks simple, honest and cute, with a strong figure.

They are from Xiangjiang and came here to do business, and now the two of them are going back to Xiangjiang, passing through here.

Qiu Sheng, the man, walked ahead quickly. When he saw that the woman hadn't followed, he stopped and waited for her. He took out a bottle of water from his backpack, handed it to the woman behind, and asked, "Miss Ren, can you still persist? Immediately." It's getting dark, we have to hurry down the mountain to find a place to stay, otherwise I'm worried that the mountain won't be safe at night."

Ren Tingting, who barely followed up from behind, took a sip of water, then waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.

Seeing that she was out of breath, Qiu Sheng thought there was no way to go on like this, so he took out his binoculars and looked around the valley, and suddenly found another small second floor in the valley.

The small second floor is not far from them. If they can walk there quickly, it will be much more convenient than going down the mountain to find a resting place.

So he pointed to the direction ahead and said, "Miss Ren, there is a wooden building in front of us, we can spend the night there."

Ren Tingting was very happy to hear that there was a cult in front of her. The mountain road was really difficult, and she couldn't hold on any longer.But she also felt a little strange, how could there be a house built here in this barren mountain?
Qiu Sheng thought it was very reasonable: "The front may be a corpse inn."

"The corpse inn?"

Ren Tingting felt very uncomfortable after hearing this name.

Qiu Sheng nodded and said self-consciously: "I heard from my master that there is a corpse gate here, and the corpse gate will open a corpse inn for the corpse craftsmen to rest on the way, because they are afraid of scaring people. So these inns are generally set up in the wilderness.”

Qiu Sheng continued to speak without noticing that Miss Ren's face became a little ugly.

"It's been many years since I've heard any news about the corpse-expelling house. This corpse-expelling inn should also be deserted."

"Hahahaha, look at me, forget that you are afraid, maybe this is not a corpse inn, I'm talking nonsense, maybe this is an ordinary wooden building." At this moment, Qiusheng realized that Ren Tingting's face had turned pale, and she stood still and dared not leave , and quickly find a way to make up for myself.

Although Ren Tingting was very scared, she thought that resting in the wooden building was better than sleeping in the wild, so she tried to convince herself that the two continued to walk towards the wooden building.

……

Soon after, the sky gradually darkened and the sun went down.In the huge forest, apart from the whimpering of the wind, there was no sound of any other living things.

The grandson who was guarding the inn was eager to see through at this moment, and kept looking around at the door of the inn.

"Grandpa hasn't come back yet, what if the walking master wants to leave!"

"Is something going to happen to Grandpa?"

The grandson was worried about his grandfather, and he dared not leave the inn because of his grandfather's orders.

Just when he was anxious and didn't know what to do, he finally saw the figure of his grandfather in the dark woods.

The grandson rushed out excitedly and threw himself into the arms of his grandfather.Seeing grandpa sweating profusely, he quickly took what was in his hand.

Although the grandfather was tired, he was full of energy. He said to his grandson, "There are meals here. Go and heat them up, and you can eat them when the walker wakes up."

Although the inn was dilapidated and small, it was fully functional, and the grandson quickly ran into the kitchen to start a fire.

……

At the same time, Qiu Sheng and Ren Tingting also came to the small wooden building, and Ren Tingting stared at the wooden sign hanging on the old locust tree with wide eyes.

This is really a corpse inn? !
Qiu Sheng smiled awkwardly, and he just said it casually, who knew it was true?
Noticing Ren Tingting's stiffness, he comforted him: "Miss Ren, don't be afraid, even if it's really a corpse inn, there might not be any corpses here. My master said he hasn't heard of corpses being expelled for many years. It's all right." , let’s stay for one night and leave.”

Hearing what he said, Ren Tingting felt relieved. Now that she has come here, she has no better choice now. Why don't she just make do with it for one night and treat it like an ordinary inn.So she forced a smile and said, "It's okay, that's it."

Seeing that Ms. Ren was so easy to talk to, Qiu Sheng stepped forward to knock on the door of the inn with peace of mind.

"Dongdongdong!"

……

In the inn, the old man sat on a small bench to rest for a while, and then remembered that there were still things that had not been displayed.

He quickly went to get the bag again, and put the tributes inside on the altar one by one, with a very serious expression and respectful movements, for fear of disturbing the rest of the walking master.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.

"Dongdongdong!"

The knock on the door sounded particularly abrupt to Lao Yi, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Why would someone knock on the door at this time?
"Dongdongdong!"

Seeing that no one answered, the visitor continued to knock. The old man was afraid that the persistent knock would wake up the footman, so he picked up the candlestick and went to open the door.
