Chapter 90: Robbery
Yunnan is vast and sparsely populated, with vast territory and continuous mountains. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe name of the mountain seen by Bai Lufeng and others from a distance is Causeway Mountain, which looks like a gong and drum from a distance, hence the name. Causeway Mountain is not a high mountain in Yunnan, but it is quite famous, which is due to its unique geographical location - Causeway Mountain is the only way for the outside world to enter Yunnan.
Yunnan is rich in products, especially medicinal herbs and flowers, and there is an endless stream of businessmen from the outside world who come to buy goods. Aiming at business opportunities, the shrewd and hard-working villagers of Causeway Mountain have opened inns, restaurants, and pharmacies along the mountain road, and their business is extremely prosperous, and their wealth is far greater than that of other people.
The strange thing is that on this day, I walked more than ten miles in a row, but I failed to see the lively scene of people coming and going in the legend. Occasionally, a few locals walked by, also with their heads bowed, coming and going in a hurry. The inns and restaurants on the side of the avenue are very deserted, some shops simply close their doors to thank customers, and the few that are open are also unpopular.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker a little, Bai Lufeng and the three of them came to an inn. At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the inn, and the shopkeeper was napping on the table, when suddenly a cat ran by, disturbing the shopkeeper's good dream. If it weren't for the dark yellow sign at the entrance of the store that said "Xingyue Inn", Wang Yizhu would definitely think that he had gone to the wrong place.
When the shopkeeper saw someone coming in, his eyes lit up, he jumped up from the stool, and trotted forward to greet him, "How many guest officers are coming to stay in the hotel?" Our Xingyue Inn is the best inn within a radius of ten miles, with more than 30 first-class rooms and medium-class rooms, which will satisfy you. ”
The shopkeeper said while enthusiastically leading the three of them to the Eight Immortals table in the store and sat down, "What do the guest officers want to eat, the shop has good beef and daughter Hong." ”
The three of them ordered beef to fill their stomachs, and after eating, they stayed at the Xingyue Inn. This inn has two floors, it can be regarded as a luxury decoration in this mountain, but the store is unusually deserted, except for the shopkeeper, there is only one proprietress in the store, and there is no one else. The proprietress looked like she was in her early thirties, with an embroidered scarf wrapped around her head, wearing a colorful long skirt, and smiling smartly, even He Xiaotian couldn't help but look at the proprietress a few more times.
The shopkeeper was not respectful to the proprietress and occasionally shouted loudly. If you don't guess wrong, this shopkeeper should be the owner of the Xingyue Inn. If the Xingyue Inn is really the best inn within a radius of ten miles, as the shopkeeper said, why does the boss personally act as the shopkeeper? Wang Yizhu strengthened his vigilance, looked at the shopkeeper and the proprietress cautiously, and stopped talking. Bai Lufeng and He Xiaotian seemed to know her thoughts, and they didn't speak, but only ate silently.
Three superior rooms, adjacent to each other, can take care of each other if there is any change. He Xiaotian originally asked for two, but was stopped by Wang Yizhu and changed to three.
"Miss Wang, you and your son have worshiped the church and become married, why do you want to sleep separately? Don't you dislike our son-in-law? He Xiaotian was puzzled.
Wang Yizhu didn't explain, and smiled at Bai Lufeng.
"Madame, how clever!" Bai Lufeng's answer made He Xiaotian even more confused.
The room is clean and tidy, with all the living facilities, and a large copper mirror is placed in front of the bed. It seems that what the shopkeeper said is true, the Xingyue Inn is indeed more luxurious. According to Wang Yizhu's observation, neither the shopkeeper nor the proprietress knew martial arts, but since the three of them entered the store, the shopkeeper's eyes kept spinning, as if they were planning something. The eyes of the three of them are like hungry people suddenly seeing a table full of delicious food, full of greed.
Half-asleep, a wisp of smoke blew into the room. The door was pried open little by little, and then there was the sound of footsteps one after the other. Two men in black entered the room and crept closer to the bed.
Suddenly, a cold came from his neck, and Wang Yizhu opened his eyes to see that it was not a kitchen knife! I saw one of the men in black holding a bright kitchen knife around his neck, and the other holding a thick hemp rope in his hand.
"Don't move, I'll kill you if you move again!" The man in black with the knife saw Wang Yizhu wake up and threatened, and his voice sounded a little trembling. Wang Yizhu sneered in his heart, this is too unprofessional. is not in a hurry to expose the other party, Wang Yizhu raised his hands very cooperatively, with an innocent look on his face, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Hand over all the silver taels on your body, we are robbing, and we don't want to die if we want money." After the man finished speaking, he turned to the other black-clothed man who was stunned in place, "Don't hurry up and tie her up!" "Oh!" Only then did the man react and walked towards Wang Yizhu with a hemp rope.
"You think you'll tie me up like this?" This is the most unreliable robber Wang Yizhu has encountered. Wang Yizhu grabbed the wrist of the knife wielder, and a howl like killing a pig suddenly sounded in the room.
"It hurts!" "It hurts!" "Grandma, let go!" ……
Seeing this, the man in black holding the hemp rope knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Girl, please, spare us!" ”
These howls quickly attracted Bai Lufeng and He Xiaotian.
"You are the shopkeeper and the proprietress of the shop!" Bai Lufeng looked at the two black-clothed men kneeling on the ground, with a bit of banter, with such a little ability, he even dared to rob! He Xiaotian stepped forward, ripped off the veils on the faces of the two, revealing their true faces, and sure enough, it was the shopkeeper and the proprietress of the shop.
"Heroes, please, spare us! We were forced to make this decision. The shopkeeper begged. The proprietress who was kneeling next to her was crying and beating the shopkeeper, "It's all your fault for this bad idea, it's not good to do business honestly, you have to come to rob." ”
"Stop fighting, I'm not here for this family. If this continues, our whole family will starve to death! The shopkeeper turned around and lost his temper at the proprietress .
"The robbery is still justified, do you still want to be shameless?" He Xiaotian reprimanded the two people on the ground, "If it weren't for the sake of your lack of martial arts, it would be strange if I didn't pick your skin today." ”
"There are a lot of heroes, our husband and wife will never do such a hurtful thing again, please spare us this time." The two men on the ground begged for mercy.
"If you don't do a good business, why are you robbing?" Wang Yizhu asked, this is the point. From the moment he walked into this inn and saw the eyes of the two of them, Wang Yizhu had a premonition that the two of them would take action tonight, and among the three, he was the only woman, and the two of them would definitely pick a woman, so he specially asked for three rooms and lured the two of them to take the bait. These two are so stupid and cute, they actually made a real move!
"We were also forced." The shopkeeper explained the reason for the robbery in detail.
According to Dian Xiaoer, two months ago, an unprecedented disaster swept through Yunnan. "The plague spread so quickly that many people died. There were still sporadic merchants entering Yunnan before, but most of them went and never returned, and the matter spread farther and farther, and no merchants came again, and our business plummeted. In the past two months, except for three, our Xingyue Inn has not received other guests. Seeing that it was about to be unable to support it, this was the first decision. ”
