Chapter Eighty-Seven
Qi Zhen chose the four innermost rooms on the second floor, and the innermost was naturally left to Jiang Yan and Meng Ran.
The outermost room was left to live alone under Li San's rare strong request.
Yu Liang Lin Xiao has one room, and Li Qiang Qi Zhen has one room.
After everyone settled down, they went to the lobby to prepare for dinner.
Xiao Er had already put together the table in advance, so that everyone could sit together conveniently.
In addition to Xiao Er, there was a middle-aged man behind the counter, who looked like the shopkeeper, but he seemed to have been looking down to settle accounts, and the arrival of Qi Zhen and his party only made him glance up.
Xiao Er's hands and feet are very nimble, from sharing the table to wiping the tabletop, from taking the cup to pouring water, it can be said that it is all in one go, and it is smooth.
Qi Zhen and the others didn't wait for Xiao Er to report the name of the dish and make it difficult to order, but told him that it was okay to look at it, not to eat well, and to go out simply.
Xiao Er likes this kind of guest, at first glance, he is wealthy, you see, he doesn't even ask about the price.
The dishes on the table did not disappoint, four cold and eight hot, chicken, duck, fish, fresh seasonal vegetables, everything.
Everyone was just about to start eating with chopsticks, when a woman suddenly appeared at the door of the inn.
The woman's face looks twenty-eight years old, but her body has been drawn, and it can be said that it is budding and waiting to be released.
She was dressed in a pale pink skirt, her whole person exuded a fresh breath, her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders, especially the delicate eyebrows and eyes, and her eyes seemed to be full of expectation and longing.
"Hello guest officer, are you sharpening or ......" Xiao Er saw a guest come in, so he naturally subconsciously opened his mouth to welcome, but halfway through his words, he saw that Chu Chu moving face, and what he wanted to say was like someone suddenly pinched his neck, and it stopped abruptly.
"You...... You ...... "You said twice, Xiao Er's eyes were straight as if he had been hooked out of his soul."
Qi Zhen used her heart to communicate with her, and coughed quickly in Lin Xiao's heart, who was also stunned.
Lin Xiao was dazed for a while, and asked Qi Zhen, "You called me?" ”
"Eat." Li Qiang said lightly.
The crowd stopped looking at the woman who appeared at the door and began to bow their heads to eat.
"Hello second brother, I want to stay in the hotel." The woman said timidly.
"Little second brother?" Seeing that Xiao Er stared at herself and didn't speak, the woman asked again in confusion.
"Huh? Yes! Please stay in a hotel, stay in a hotel. Xiao Er experienced a moment of panic, his face was already red, and he hurriedly said.
"It's a fixed price." The woman took out a broken piece of silver from her purse and handed it to the little second-hand.
The woman's hands were as white and delicate as the silver in her hands.
Her nails scratched Xiao Er's palm, but it made Xiao Er's heart tremble.
"Little second brother, it's okay to send the food to my house, thank you." After paying the money, the woman smiled at Xiao Er, this smile was short-lived, but it was a country and a city.
There were only five rooms on the second floor, and the last room was assigned to the woman.
With the sound of footsteps and doors closing, the room was quiet again.
As the woman went upstairs, she glanced lightly in the direction of Qi Zhen and the others, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
Although Qi Zhen has been eating with her head down, her attention has actually been there, and she said softly at this time: "This is going to live." ”
"Can't you let people live in peace for two days?" Jiang Yan was a little unhappy.
Counting the time when the team came to the game, except for a wedding with the Mulberry Snake clan that night, everyone didn't seem to have any days of peace, and every day was either solving the problem or on the way to solving the problem.
"After all, we are not here for sightseeing, and the system naturally wants to create all the tasks that hinder our progress." Qi Zhen replied.
The progress here is not only on the road, but also on the plot, in short, not to let the team spend it easily.
As the sky got dark, two people appeared at the door of the inn again.
The two guests who came were both men, and they looked like two businessmen on their feet, and they were covered in dust, and it was obvious that they had traveled a long way.
Hearing the conversation between them and Xiao Er, Qi Zhen and the others vaguely surmised that they were coming from the east, and it seemed that they were going in the direction of Wuhu, but it was the same route as the team.
The two of them had prepared a carriage and horses, and there were many goods on the carriage, and after bothering Xiao Er to help settle them, they sat directly in the lobby and occupied a table.
The two asked for wine and meat, and after a while, they drank it by themselves, but they drank very quietly, and chatted from time to time.
The upstairs rooms were full, and there were three downstairs rooms, and the middle one was given to two people.
Half an hour later, the little inn welcomed its last guest.
The last to come was a handsome boy, dressed in a white robe and holding a folding fan in his hand, the most characteristic of which were his eyebrows and nose.
His eyebrows are like two flying swords, which can be called a pair of sword eyebrows straight into the sideburns, the nose is extremely high, and the nose wings are very narrow, according to the eyes of the other world, this is the standard hooked nose.
This makes him look a little gloomy, but this kind of appearance does not make people feel ugly, but it is extraordinarily heroic.
The temperament shown by the appearance of this scholar is not so much like a personable scholar, but more like a gentlemanly and rich child.
As soon as he walked into the inn, his eyes showed an unbearable disdain and disgust for anything around him.
Throwing a silver ingot to Xiao Er, it looked like it was five taels in size, and said lightly: "Live in the hotel." ”
Xiao Er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pointed out the innermost room on the first floor to him.
"Isn't there a room upstairs?" The man in white's voice was a little colder.
Xiao Er said that he was sorry for this son, and there were already people in the other rooms.
The man in white didn't say anything more, but he could clearly sense that he was extremely dissatisfied.
He walked to his room, and when he passed by Qi Zhen's table, he glanced at them lightly, like an immortal looking at a mortal, his face expressionless, but cold as ice.
This appearance of not approaching the living made Xiao Er break off the idea of asking the person if he had a meal.
If you eat it, call me it.
It's just that it's really strange today, in the past, this inn was all reluctantly operated by the old customers who came and went to make a living, why did so many guests come here all of a sudden, and one is more generous than the other, isn't it God opened his eyes today?
Xiao Er thought in his heart, and wanted to ask the shopkeeper if there was anything big in the vicinity these days, but he let a soft knife of the shopkeeper come back.
"Ask the guests yourself."
The shopkeeper looks in his thirties, and he looks inconspicuous, even if you put it in three people, you may not be able to recognize him at a glance, in short, it is an ordinary mess.
The most important thing is that the shopkeeper is extremely taciturn, and it is almost difficult to reflect his presence on any occasion.
According to Xiao Er's words, you should have given me a salary increase a long time ago, and you look at this store now, isn't it all up to me to support it?
The shopkeeper always said that it was good, but there was no actual action at all.
Hi! If it weren't for the fact that he could almost be in charge of big and small things in the store, the shopkeeper almost didn't care about things, and he really didn't serve him, so make do with it.
"What to do?" Yu Liang was really absent-minded about eating this meal, and asked at this time.
"What to do, go with the flow, and adapt to the situation." Qi Zhen said lightly.
The crowd did not drink, and the meal quickly came to an end.
They each went back to their rooms to rest, leaving only the two merchants still downstairs to eat and drink, and it didn't look like the fight would end in a moment.
After returning to the room, Li Qiang said to Qi Zhen straight to the point: "I'm a little uneasy. ”
has seen Li Qiang's domineering and unparalleled, and also seen him calmly, this is the first time Qi Zhen has heard this kind of words from his mouth.
Qi Zhen didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Has this happened before?" ”
Li Qiang nodded.
"The result?" Qi Zhen asked again.
"Several died." Li Qiang's face sank like water, and his brows were furrowed.
Qi Zhen patted Li Qiang's shoulder: "Then let's be vigilant." ”
If you want to be vigilant, you can't just talk about it.
Qi Zhen began to analyze with Li Qiang the guests who walked into the other three rooms of the inn today.
"The woman...... It shouldn't be mortal. Qi Zhen said first.
Li Qiang nodded in agreement.
As outsiders, the team does not have to be imprisoned by the inherent thinking of the civilians in this world, and the way of seeing things is completely different from that of the people in this world.
That woman is too good-looking, and it is too strange to appear here, even in the context of this fairy sword world where the status of men and women is not so clear, the beautiful woman who appeared alone in front of everyone in the team still has to make people suspicious.
What made Qi Zhen feel even more incredible was that with the strength of his spiritual power, his mind was slightly lost the moment he saw that woman, which showed how beautiful that woman was.
Or it can't be said to be beautiful, but seductive.
The moving temperament exuded between the gestures is only afraid that few ordinary people can resist.
So Qi Zhen cautiously speculated that she was not a mortal, but she didn't expect to get Li Qiang's approval.
"That man in white, very strong." Li Qiang said.
Indeed, Qi Zhen could feel the sharpness of that man's body, that kind of temperament that defied everything, like a sword hidden in a sheath, it seemed that it might be sharp at any time and hurt people when it came out of the sheath.
"I don't see anything special about the other two merchants." Qi Zhen said.
"But that's why I think those two people should care more." He then added.
Li Qiang understood what Qi Zhen meant.
If the person who appears in a scene does not seem to be ordinary, if someone looks ordinary, it just proves that person may be the most extraordinary.
"There's a guy, have you noticed?" Li Qiang asked.
Qi Zhen nodded, and the two looked at each other, all without saying a word.
"Do you want to go forward in the face of difficulties, or move forward in a low-key manner, captain, what do you say?" Qi Zhen asked Li Qiang.
"You can't hide from what you should have, and you can't ask for what you shouldn't come." Li Qiang said softly.
"Then according to the original plan, if there is nothing to do, set off early tomorrow and strive to rush to Wuhu to rest." Qi Zhen agreed with Li Qiang's statement and replied.
Li Qiang nodded.
At night, there was silence.
I don't know if it's because the atmosphere in the inn is too weird, or if there are too many people in the inn today, in short, I can't even hear the insect calls that I could hear in the past.
This made Xiao Er, who was used to listening to the sound of frogs, a little sleepless.
People are prone to blind thinking when they can't sleep, and he is no exception.
And today is indeed worth thinking about, such as the girl's face, the girl's hands, the girl's waist, and the footsteps of the girl's walking.
It's so pretty.
Xiao Er thought to himself, and he couldn't sleep more and more.
