Chapter 588: Uninvited Guest
With this "sponsorship" of King Jin, Xie Yutang opened an inn in the local area, because it integrated the style of the Central Plains in design, it was also unique, and soon took root in the north.
Chi Wan had taken care of many stores before, and she knew better than Xie Yutang how to operate. She is bent on taking the store's turnover to the next level, but how can Xie Yutang be willing to do it? Now Chi Wan is not alone, she still has one in her stomach, if she accidentally makes any mistakes, it is not a joke.
So, no matter how coquettish Chi Wan was, Xie Yutang just didn't agree with her handling the inn's business, and she was careful every day, buying all kinds of supplements like flowing water, and even the bosses who sold supplements were already familiar with him.
Every time the people in the inn saw the proprietress of the hostess, they were supported by the boss, for fear that she would bump into it. It can be said that it is afraid of melting in its mouth, and it is afraid of breaking it in its hand. For a while, it became a good story.
On this day, a group of uninvited guests came to the inn.
They were all dressed in black, with black veils on their heads, and they looked like they had come all the way from other places, and the person in the lead found a seat and sat down, "Xiao Er, come to a pot of hot tea and serve a few good dishes." As he spoke, he threw down a silver bill.
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute." Xiao Er answered with a loud voice, and after the result was silver, he went to the back kitchen to say hello.
Xie Yutang is kind to business, and the ingredients in the kitchen are freshly processed, but the price is not too high, and the price is high, which is also the reason why the inn can attract a large number of customers.
In order to improve the enthusiasm of the staff in the store, he also set a rule that any extra money given by customers can be used as a tip, so that the little two who greet them can be under his own hands.
Therefore, in the other shops, the guy and Xiao Er are all passive and slacking off, but his inn is rushing to work.
Xiao Er threw away the silver coin in his hand, and after deducting the cost of the meal, he could still get a lot.
At the same time, Xie Yutang also noticed this group of strange people, they didn't know what they were discussing since they sat down, and some of them even danced excitedly.
"Here comes the food." Xiao Er's voice interrupted his contemplation, and plates of delicacies were placed on the table, "Guest officer, you use it slowly." ”
The group, perhaps hungry, stopped arguing and bowed their heads to eat when they saw the food.
Seeing that there was nothing abnormal about them, Xie Yutang shook his head with a smile, feeling that he had really been too nervous recently, and he felt that something was wrong when he saw anything.
Let go of the uneasiness in his heart, he lowered his head and played with the abacus in his hand, now the inn's business is booming, there is a large amount of silver in the account every day, he has to calculate the account book himself from time to time, so as not to make any mistakes.
Sunlight pours down through the windows. To everyone in the house, are plated with a layer of golden halo, next to a child holding the cat, there is a little caressing its fur, the cat because of the comfort, the mouth purring, a quiet look of the years.
At that moment, as if alarmed by something, the cat suddenly jumped out of the child's arms and scurried all over the house.
"Big White!" The child subconsciously screamed and ran after the cat, trying to catch it.
But the cat seemed to have become a spirit, jumping up and down, and knocking over the meals of several guests. The child finally grabbed it, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the scene in front of him made his eyes widen in horror.
It turned out that the cat didn't know when, ran to the feet of the group of men in black, and the child squatted on the ground, and from his angle, he could see the whole face of the man in black from the jaw that was not wrapped in black yarn.
His lips trembled as if something had grabbed him, and after a long while, he burst out screaming, "Ah! Monsters! ”
As he shouted, he retreated as if he was running away, tears and snot covering his entire face, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
But at this moment, the child couldn't care about those anymore, his eyes were full of thoughts, and he quickly escaped from this group of monsters, and even the cat he had just caught was subconsciously thrown out by him.
The cat meowed, fluttered in the air a few times, and just grabbed the black veil on the face of the man in black, the facial features of the man in black were mediocre, and he was the kind of person who threw it in the pile, and no one would necessarily take a look at it.
But what is frightening is that the man in black actually has three eyes on his face.
It was like a boulder that threw itself into the calm surface of the lake, stirring up countless splashes.
In the originally peaceful inn, bursts of screams erupted, and everyone ran towards the door in a honeycomb, but the gate was so big, where could so many people be allowed to pass through?
Under the pushing, many people fell to the ground, and the sound of scolding came and went. Fortunately, although these people were in a hurry to flee for their lives, they still had a trace of sanity and did not have a stampede because of this.
The child was obviously frightened, and sat on the ground in a daze, his eyes staring directly at the man in black.
The man in black seemed to feel offended, his brows furrowed, and with a bang, he pulled out the saber at his waist and swung it at the child, and at the last moment, a long whip burst out of the air and wrapped around the knife, and there was only a millimeter between the blade and the top of the child's head.
The wind blew, and a handful of jet-black hair fluttered down, and the child's bun was missing a notch. There was a faint smell of commotion in the air, and when I looked closely, I realized that the child had been so frightened that he peed his pants.
Xie Yutang dragged the long whip to prevent the blade from continuing to fall, and the scene was stalemate for a while.
"Don't go yet!" He yelled at the child, his palms a little hot, as if the skin had been worn out.
Xie Yutang couldn't help but be secretly frightened, his martial arts, even if he looked at the entire Dongxuan Kingdom, were among the best, but now he had exhausted all his strength just by containing the other party.
What is the origin of this group of people?
After being coaxed by him, the child seemed to have woken up from a big dream, and ran to the door in a hurry, but disappeared in just a few breaths.
For a while, only Xie Yutang and the group of black-clothed people were left in the house, and even the shopkeeper fled for his life.
"Look for death!" The man in black saw that he couldn't break free from Xie Yutang's shackles, so he cursed, simply threw away the knife in his hand, and slammed forward, Xie Yutang was naturally not to be outdone, the two fought countless back and forth in the air, and finally fist to fist, backwards to each other, Xie Yutang's toes tiptoed on the ground, rubbing a long distance, before unloading the strength.
The man in black was caught by his companion, clutched his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the first confrontation, Xie Yutang had the upper hand. The man in black still wanted to make a move, but was stopped by his companion, "The Lord said, don't make trouble." ”
I don't know what kind of holiness the lord in that person's mouth is? After the man in black heard this, his original anger slowly subsided, he spat a mouthful of blood foam on the ground, and glared at Xie Yutang viciously with three eyes, "Count yourself lucky, let's go!" ”
The group was clearly organized, and when they exited, they were orderly and did not scramble for half a step.
Looking at their distant backs, Xie Yutang's eyes crossed a touch of deep thought, this northern land, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful.
The few people in black seemed to have just made a start, and there were more and more uninvited guests who came to stay in the inn, and they came to stay for a long time, all wearing veils, and their whereabouts were strange, plus they saw the true face of that group of people before, and for a while, they had everything to say, and bluntly said that these people were monsters, and ordinary people didn't dare to come to the inn.
Open the door to do business, anyone will meet it, although Xie Yutang kept an extra eye, but seeing that those people did not have any more incidents except for food and accommodation, it was not easy to open his mouth to drive people away.
But he took a step back, but those people in black were unwilling, they had to make some trouble, the food sent by Xiao Er this morning was actually dropped by them, and the shopkeeper was almost beaten, these people said that the food was not to taste, and they shouted to eat pork knuckle.
After listening to Xiao Er's report, Xie Yutang suddenly became angry, "Kick your nose in the face?" I've long seen that they don't like it, go, blast them out for me! ”
Xiao Er hesitated and didn't dare to go, both legs were trembling, "Shopkeeper, those people are too fierce, I can't deal with it alone, I saw it last afternoon...... I saw a man take off his veil and reveal two mouths......"
Xie Yutang was angry and laughed, "So what's the matter?" The visitor is a guest, you have seen all three eyes, what about two mouths? Can you still eat it? If you don't go, I'll go! ”
Saying that he was about to go out, Chi Wan hurriedly grabbed him, "No, you can't go!" ”
Xie Yutang looked at the other party puzzled, "Why can't you?" ”
Chi Wan walked to the door, looked left and right vigilantly, closed the doors and windows, and then pulled the angry Xie Yutang to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea, "You dissipate your anger first." ”
Xie Yutang was not in the mood to drink water at this time, but just looked at her directly, as if today, if Chi Wan didn't give a reasonable explanation, he wouldn't give up.
"Have you ever wondered why such a group of people suddenly appeared in the Northlands?"
Xie Yutang hadn't thought about this problem at all, and after hearing Chi Wan's words, he was suddenly stunned, and began to think back to what had happened before, and then gradually realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
Chi Wan continued to follow the temptation, "We don't know their details, let's observe them for a while, let's talk about it first, if we make a rash move, what if we suffer a loss?" ”
The shopkeeper also echoed, "Yes, I have lived in the local area for more than 20 years, and I have never seen such a person, no one knows what will happen, so it's better for us to be careful." ”
