246 responded wittily and successfully stayed in the hotel

The shopkeeper insisted on not doing Li Banxia's business, and Li Banxia wore out his mouth, but he still locked him out-

Li Banxia made persistent efforts and knocked on the door of the shopkeeper for the third time.

"Shopkeeper, you see it's getting dark, I'm new here, and I don't have any relatives here. If you don't let me stay in the hotel, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep on the streets. The weather is so cold, if you sleep on the street, even if you are lucky, if nothing happens, you will be frozen to death~~"

It's hard to say anything, Li Banxia has to pretend to be pitiful. Judging from what he just said, this store does not accept customers is the general status quo in the border city at this time. Even if she goes to the next house, I'm afraid she will still turn it away.

There was still no movement in the door, and Li Banxia was a little discouraged, but compared to staying on the street at night, he couldn't care about being cheeky.

She didn't want to freeze to death on the streets on her first day in the border city.

After thinking about it, Li Banxia said again: "Shopkeeper, you see, when I came just now, your door was hidden, and it must not be completely unacceptable." You let me in, and I promise not to wander the streets at night, and not to reveal that I live here. You just treat me as a distant relative of yours and come to join you, so that you can let me stay overnight, and you don't have to report to the yamen, do you think this is good? ”

Li Banxia thought back to what the store had just said, the reason why he didn't let her stay overnight was just because he was troublesome, and he had to report to the yamen. She is not a person who is completely ignorant of the world, from the look of disgust and hatred when the shopkeeper talked about the group of officials and masters in the yamen just now, presumably those people took the opportunity to eat a lot of their oil.

When a guest stays in a hotel, the room money is not much, and he has to report and give them silver, which no one wants to do. The shopkeeper did just that. It's also excusable.

If Li Banxia hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have bothered him so much. If it were normal, I would have gone to another inn a long time ago.

It's just that at this moment, if what she thinks is not bad, even if she goes to the next inn, the next two, three, even if she goes to all the inns in the border city, the result may be similar.

It was already dark, and Li Banxia had already been on the road for a day, and his whole body was tired. She didn't want to go anymore.

Now, she just wants to find a place to sleep peacefully. She can guarantee it. As soon as her feet are off the ground, she will fall asleep, and this sleep may not wake up until tomorrow morning. Even, until the middle of the day.

While she was still standing, she thought she would sleep until tomorrow. From this, it can be seen what Li Banxia has become.

Her legs were already trembling, her eyelids were almost gone, and if there was no place to rest, she was afraid that she would really sleep on the street.

And the poor laughter, which has worn it out these days. At the time of the Three Mountains and Twelve Villages. It was in the stable every day, only in the morning and evening, and it was ridden by Mo Shaolan for a few turns. Where like now. Running around with her every day, not only can't eat well, but also can't sleep well, and it's really bitter.

At this moment, Xiaochou is lowering his head. Rubbing against the yellow leaves flying on the ground. From time to time, he raised his head and looked at Li Banxia's side. It seems to be wondering, why hasn't she settled down yet?

Delicious aquatic plants, hearty food, and a good night's sleep, these are the three things it craves most now.

After Li Banxia finished speaking, the room was quiet for a long time. Li Banxia leaned on the door panel and listened quietly, but he didn't hear any movement.

Just when Li Banxia finally gave up and turned around to lead Xiaochou away, the store suddenly opened the door.

"Forget it, come in-"

The store was defeated to her, shaking her head and sighing: This girl is really capable of grinding. Not only can he grind, but his brain is also very smart, and he gets to the point of the problem at once.

If there is business, the store is naturally happy. What a good inn, who wants it to be so empty? It's not that the people in the yamen were forced to do nothing, so they closed the door of the inn.

It's just that this innkeeper has no guests, what do they eat with? Therefore, although their doors are closed, they are hidden, so that people who want to stay in the hotel will always come and give it a try.

Then they see if the business is worth doing and can make some money, so they go for a trip. Report to the yamen and give them a little silver. It's not worth doing, for example, if there are only one or two guests, then send them away, so as not to cause so much trouble for that little money.

Of course, there is another kind of guest who knows how to read his face and listen to his words, that is, after staying in the inn, carefully hide his whereabouts. not only saved him from going to the yamen to report, but also saved him two taels of silver. This kind of silver, it is not easy to pick up a little bit of silver, and it is not easy to make some silver money in turbulent years.

The shopkeeper kept waving at her, telling her to slow down and not let the officers and soldiers see it. Li Banxia nodded knowingly, and soon smiled sadly, and followed the back of the store into the backyard. Tie the smile to the manger, and follow the store back to the house.

"Girl, I'll tell you first, you can only stay here for one night, and you'll have to leave early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, those people from the yamen will come to check and find you here, then I will have to walk around without food. "In these years, in order to make such a little money, the guy who almost eats is gambling, what kind of life is this!

"I know, shopkeeper, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." The shopkeeper gave her convenience, and Li Banxia naturally wouldn't embarrass him.

The shopkeeper took Li Banxia up to the second floor and entered a good guest room.

"Girl, this time it's cheaper for you. This is one of the best rooms in the store, anyway, there are no other guests in the store, and it is empty, so it will let you stay~~"

The shop was generous at this time, and when it was tired, it was a very pleasant thing to have a good room to live in, anyway.

Li Banxia thanked him with a smile, entered the room, and put down the package he was carrying. He took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to the boss: "Shopkeeper, I've been on the road for a day, and I'm already hungry now, can you get me something to eat?" Well, don't bother, just give me a bowl of noodles~~"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the silver given by Li Banxia. Quickly wipe your hands and take it with both hands.

This piece of silver is not big, and when business was booming before, he didn't care about this bit of silver at all. But at this time and then, the owner of the store was already very happy to have broken the silver so quickly.

After all, something is better than nothing. With such a piece of silver, there are many things that can be done here.

Sometimes, it might be a lifesaver.

In times of turmoil, a bite to eat and a bite to drink is very precious.

"Whoa! Girl, you wait, I'll make it for you~~" The boss hurriedly turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen to get food for Li Banxia.

If it was normal, Li Banxia might give the store some more silver. She wasn't without money, and the boss was pretty good, so he let her in and let her stay here for the night. And whatever his purpose in doing this is, there is nothing wrong with it.

According to Li Banxia's character, he will definitely take into account her difficulties and give him more silver. It's just that this inn seems to be the only one from the inside out, and if it weren't for Li Banxia's battle, she would never dare to live in this inn alone.

Although Li Banxia fell asleep very deeply, he was still very vigilant in the face of danger. Every time before going to bed, she will also do a good job of protection around the room, so that others can't secretly harm her. This is also the reason why Li Banxia has not been subjected to any thieves, thieves or flower thieves all the way.

One is because Li Banxia is well versed in the truth that wealth cannot be exposed, even if he has a lot of silver taels on his body, he will hide it tightly and not let others see it easily. The other is that she is a low-key person, and unless necessary, she will never become the eye-catching one among the crowd.

When eating in a restaurant, she always sits in a secluded corner. Talk less and listen more, leave after eating, and don't get into any trouble. When staying in the hotel, the silver is always moderate, and the reward to Xiao Er is also a few coppers, she would rather be called stingy than attract the attention of those thieves.

She is not one of those heroes, she has superb martial arts. It's not the kind of man with a mighty body, even if the thief is concerned, he has to weigh it. I don't know how many difficulties and dangers there are along the way to the border city, if she wasn't careful everywhere, I'm afraid something would have happened a long time ago.

This time, giving the store a piece of broken silver, instead of a piece of silver, also upholds the principle that wealth cannot be exposed. Even if you want to give, you have to give it when you leave, and you will have no worries at that time. After all, people's hearts are sinister, and the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Some people will still commit some adulterous crimes for the sake of money.

In order not to incur unnecessary annoyance to yourself, it is necessary to do so.

I have to say that maybe I watched too much TV in my previous life, especially detective films, suspense films and martial arts films. Although Li Banxia has never walked the rivers and lakes, he still knows some tricks on the rivers and lakes. But he also knows that even a person who seems to be trustworthy and reliable may be a bad person, so Li Banxia's guard has always been very deep.

Whether it is in the medicine she makes, or in the process of staying in the hotel in a hurry, Li Banxia is a very cautious person. These are very inconsistent with Li Banxia's usual personality, and they may seem strange and contradictory to others, but when these appear on Li Banxia at the same time, they do not make people feel very abrupt.

Perhaps, it is because she shows this caution and vigilance very softly and not sharply. People who don't have a close relationship with her are generally not aware of this at all. Only those who are very close to her can see some of them-

What's more, isn't man himself the most contradictory?
