Inside Iron Tooth City.

"If you dare to disturb the situation, I will kill you."

A gloomy voice sounded.

"snort!"

Ouyang Heng said nothing, only snorted coldly, then turned and left.

That puppet master was unreasonable and couldn't communicate at all.

He didn't want to say anything more.

Ouyang Heng rushed towards the inn as quickly as possible.

Before leaving, he heard a scream, which should have come from Lin.

I don’t know whether Mr. Lin is dead or alive.

Ouyang Heng entered the courtyard of the inn and saw a figure lying on his side on the steps in front of the main room.

When he came to his side, he saw Mrs. Lin's eyes closed tightly and her face black and blue.

He stretched out his hand and tested it.

"Still breathing, Mrs. Lin is still alive."

"Where did that Xiao Lin go? Why didn't he come out?" Ouyang Heng was surprised.

Xiao Lin is the fat man who works in the kitchen.

Even though he is fat, he is very efficient at work.

The big bucket of bath water in the evening was brought up by Fatty after it was boiled.

Fatty Xiao Lin lived in the courtyard. Logically speaking, he should have come out to see if he heard the noise, but in fact, Lin lay outside for a while and no one came out to look at her.

Ouyang Heng glanced at it.

There were no obvious wounds on Lin's body.

The puppet master didn't hurt her.

Most likely, Mrs. Lin was frightened and fainted.

What happened, Ouyang Heng decided to take Lin back.

Using both hands, Ouyang Heng took Lin back to the room.

The inn was very quiet at night. After the diners left, Ouyang Heng was the only resident in the inn that night.

Normally, when Iron Tooth City is open, there are still many people in this inn, but now, Iron Tooth City has been taken over by Princess Dedema of the Mongolian tribe. The gates on all sides are closed, and people in the city are panicked. Normal business life

They were all destroyed, so no one came out to stay in the inn.

It's okay if the inn has no business, at least it's convenient for Ouyang Heng.

After putting Mrs. Lin on the bed, Ouyang Heng made a wet towel and put it on Mrs. Lin's forehead.

After a while, the greenish look on Lin's face gradually dissipated. She screamed and sat up suddenly from the bed.

She soon regained consciousness after feeling dizzy.

She was shocked when she saw where she was.

Why in bed?

She quickly checked her clothes to make sure there were no changes, and then she found Ouyang Heng sitting at the table drinking tea.

"My guest, are you the one who brought me back?" Mrs. Lin struggled to get out of bed. As a widow, she was lying on the bed where other men had slept, which was against her morals.

However, just as she was about to get out of bed, she felt dizzy and fell down.

"Your body is too weak."

"Don't worry, this is a guest room, your own inn, what are you afraid of?"

"Lie down and don't move."

Ouyang Heng picked up the tea on the table and said, "Drink some hot tea and calm down for a while before you get up. Otherwise, you will suffer from brain hemorrhage and stroke."

Mrs. Lin had no choice but to lie down and not dare to move, and whispered: "Thank you, sir."

Ouyang Heng stepped forward to raise the pillow, and Lin slowly leaned up. This time he stood up more slowly, and the dizziness was not strong.

She took a sip of tea and calmed down, then heard Ouyang Heng ask: "Is it better now?"

"Much better, sir. If it weren't for you this time, I might not be alive."

Mrs. Lin was grateful for Ouyang Heng's rescue. She calmed down and felt relieved, knowing that this was an expedient measure and that Ouyang Heng was not trying to ruin her reputation.

Ouyang Heng's courtesy and courtesy made her feel confident that this man was not a bad person and could be trusted.

"I heard the sound, so I went downstairs to the yard and saw you lying on the ground... Shopkeeper Lin, what happened? If you are in trouble, tell me, maybe I can help you." Ouyang Heng said lightly.

.

"Maybe I saw it wrong..." Mrs. Lin shook her head, looking gloomy.

"I saw my husband earlier."

"But, a few days ago, my husband passed away."

Mrs. Lin only said this, but Ouyang Heng already understood what she saw.

Puppet masters are best at confusing other people's eyes through disguise and making them hallucinate.

"Did you see your husband turn around with a grimace on his face? It scared you!"

Ouyang Heng stood up.

"Sir, how do you know?" Lin asked in surprise.

"Did you smell a strange fragrance?" Ouyang Heng did not answer Lin's question, but asked another question.

Lin's face showed a thoughtful look.

She nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I smelled a fragrance. I have never smelled that fragrance before."

"Are you sure you haven't smelled it before?"

"I'm sure, I remember all the fragrances I smelled."

"I understand... Shopkeeper Lin, do you feel better now?" Ouyang Heng said.

"Much better, sir, can I get up?" Mrs. Lin was worried that she would be dizzy again.

"It's okay now, but you have to get up slowly, slowly, and hold on to the bedpost next to you..."

Ouyang Heng approached the bed, ready at any time. If something happened to Mrs. Lin again, she would be able to take care of her.

Lin grabbed the pillar next to her with her palms and slowly straightened up...

After confirming that she was not dizzy, Lin got out of bed and took two steps slowly.

"Sir, I feel better... Oh no, Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin was also in the yard at that time." Lin suddenly remembered something important, and her face changed slightly.

"Xiao Lin was in the yard? I didn't see anyone else in the yard at that time." Ouyang Heng frowned.

"No, I remember that when I was hallucinating, Xiao Lin was squatting at the entrance of the kitchen, picking bones with a knife." Lin insisted.

"Let's go and see, let's go."

Ouyang Heng thought it might be Lin's hallucination, but since Lin was so insistent, he might as well go and have a look, since it wasn't too far away anyway.

When Lin went downstairs, her steps were still a little unsteady, but she was so anxious that she didn't care so much.

The two came to the yard.

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the red lantern in the yard had been extinguished.

The yard looked very dark.

Ouyang Heng took out the fire stick and stepped forward to light the lantern near the pavilion.

The yard finally became a little brighter, and I could barely see the scenery clearly.

"Xiao Lin should be sitting there." Lin pointed in a direction.

There is a five-step bluestone staircase, which is the direction leading to the kitchen...

However, the stairs were empty, there was nothing.

"Go over and have a look."

Ouyang Heng walked in front holding the fire seal. He put his other hand on the hilt of the sword, always vigilant.

What is happening now is very strange, and there are many things that are difficult to figure out.

No one knows if there are dangers lurking in the dark.

After a short journey, Ouyang Heng walked for a long time and finally came to the stairs. He stared at the stairs but could not see any special marks.

Some meaty smell is unavoidable.
