Chapter 13: Planned Detachment

"Hurry up and get to work, don't be lazy!"

In the lobby of the Zephyr Inn, Da Long was reprimanding two newcomers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two new guys were only eleven or twelve years old, and they had been bought by the shopkeeper a few days ago.

With the newcomers joining, the chores that were originally shared on Da Long, Yang Chong and Zhou Chen basically fell on them.

Dalong's mood has obviously improved a lot these days.

First, it was because he got the sweetness in the last black job and vented it on that woman.

The second is because the two new arrivals can be his punching bags. As long as he is upset by Yang Chong, he will find two new buddies and train them well, which can be used to smooth his breath.

Yang Chong knew that Da Long had also done that kind of beast thing, and even after playing for a few days, the woman was killed, and it was still Da Long's corpse. Since then, Yang Chong has never given face to Da Long again, completely ignoring the other party.

His toughness was exchanged for the patience of the great dragon.

The latter is not a fool, knowing that he is likely to not be able to beat Yang Chong, so he relented and stopped targeting Yang Chong, anyway, it would be boring to target him.

There is still Zhou Chen left, and he is the most idle one. The two newcomers took care of all the dirty work, and he went back to the kitchen to cook instead of the cow cook. And because the weather is getting colder, the season is beginning to winter, the business of the inn is getting less and less, and Zhou Chen has almost no work.

After this period of time, his cooking skills have long been no worse than Chef Niu, which makes the latter often sigh that Zhou Chen is really condescending if he doesn't become a serious cook.

Compared with this, Zhou Chen practiced "Iron Hammer Fist" decently, but Chef Niu didn't say anything. After all, no matter how standard the practice is, it doesn't mean that it can be used in actual combat.

Zhou Chen naturally deliberately concealed his true strength, and when he punched in front of Chef Niu, he never really used his full strength.

More than four months have passed since he crossed over.

For more than four months, he has not stopped exercising. Until now, the results have begun to appear, and the outline of the muscles on the body has begun to appear. With such a body, he was already able to withstand the Yang Clan's killing power once or twice.

But he was not satisfied, he always wanted to refine the "iron" character in "Iron Hammer Fist", but he had no financial resources and could not afford to buy the herbs he needed.

"I am now basically trusted by the shopkeepers, and I have been given a great deal of freedom, and I can get some copper coins every time I finish my black work, and in a little while, I will go to Wagyu Cook to ask for a leave, and pretend to go to the nearest town, and then I can take the opportunity to slip away. ”

Of course, Zhou Chen won't stay in this inn as a buddy all the time.

These few black jobs, murder ** things, he has long been unhappy in his eyes. He hasn't regained his strength now, otherwise he would have killed all the people in the inn a long time ago, and Cook Niu wouldn't let it go.

He can't beat the shopkeeper and others, so he can't see it out of sight, and it's the best policy!

When he didn't join the gang to do black work at the beginning, he didn't even have the most basic freedom, and he couldn't take a step out of the inn at all, otherwise it would be possible to be beaten to death even if he was beaten to death, it all depended on the mood of the shopkeeper.

Now it's different, he has become more or less an accomplice after joining the gang, and he has also received the money afterwards, and the shopkeeper must have thought that he would not escape.

In fact, their idea is right, if they were Chen Erhu before, it was naturally impossible to leave, and they didn't dare to go. But Zhou Chen is different, how could he be bound by these things. As long as he is allowed to escape to the Central Plains, the shopkeepers will not want to arrest him again.

"Still, when I suddenly asked to go out alone, it might still alarm them. Then, I will fool Dalong and go out with him, and the shopkeepers will naturally not be suspicious. ”

Compared with Zhou Chen, Dalong has been in the gang for a long time, and he is truly trusted. Zhou Chen went out with him, and even if the shopkeeper still had suspicions, they would think that Da Long's force could suppress Zhou Chen, and they were not afraid that the latter would escape.

"Or things are not so complicated, Chen Erhu has been at the inn for more than three years, and he was stupid and honest before, I'm afraid the shopkeeper has no suspicions for a long time. ”

Zhou Chen thought so, but he still decided to be careful, he wanted to fool Dalong first, and it was best to say that the other party offered to take him out.

As soon as he thought of it, Zhou Chen threw away the vegetables he was washing, got up from the wooden stool and wiped his hands on his buttocks, and then walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the lobby.

"Huh?"

What made Zhou Chen frown was that as soon as he took a few steps, a person came to him, one of the two new guys, called Huzi.

Huzi and Chen Erhu obviously overlapped, and it might be unpleasant to be someone else, but Zhou Chen didn't feel anything. After all, his real name is Zhou Chen, not Chen Erhu.

"Got business coming to your door?"

Zhou Chen saw that Huzi was about to speak, and he shrank his head a little, and it was easy to guess what was going on.

"Yes, yes. I want to fry two side dishes, three catties of beef, and a jar of wine. ”

Huzi spoke in a very soft voice, obviously not used to the life of the inn, and seemed afraid of strangers in the unfamiliar environment.

"The wine is there, go get it yourself. ”

Zhou Chen pointed in one direction, it was the room dedicated to storing wine.

There is only one kind of wine in the Zephyr Inn, which is very inferior, but it is spicy in the mouth, and it is not much worse than the ordinary Burning Knife Wine. In the desert terrain, it is always cold at night, so this strong enough wine is a good thing for heating.

When business came to the door, Zhou Chen had no choice but to return to the kitchen again, take out some beef and prepare it for cooking, and then start stir-frying.

When Zhou Chen was all done, he didn't see Huzi coming to take it away, so he had to go to the kitchen door and shout to the lobby.

However, after waiting for a while, no one came to take the food away.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Chen frowned, and then he didn't go to the lobby to see what was going on, but instinctively wanted to stay away from danger and prepare to find a place to hide first.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw the cow cook.

"What are you yelling for? I don't get a clean sleep!"

Chef Niu first reprimanded Zhou Chen, and then looked at the direction of the lobby with a serious face.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”

The next moment, Chef Niu grabbed Zhou Chen's arm and dragged him away half-pulled and half-dragged.

"Nothing will happen, right? The shopkeeper is also going out, what can I do?"

Zhou Chen showed a worried and uneasy expression at the right time.

"You're worried about a fart! The shopkeeper just took the kid surnamed Yang to teach martial arts, not far from the inn, and he will be able to come soon if something happens. ”

Chef Niu said impatiently, and continued to pull Zhou Chen towards the lobby. (To be continued.) )
