A few people put their things away, asked for water to wash up, sprinkled a handful of wheat on the table for pockmarks to eat, and went to the lobby on the first floor to eat.

Zhao Wu asked for a plate of braised pork head, a plate of roast pork, two vegetarian dishes, a small pot of wine and five bowls of rice.

Xiao Er shouted the name of the dish in a loud voice, and bowed down again, "Uncle, girl, please wait, the wine and food will come soon." ”

Zhao Wu looked around, his eyes shrunk, and his head tilted towards Xu Lanyin and said in a voice that only she could hear, "Why do I think something is wrong here." ”

Xu Lanyin's heart tightened, and she looked around the lobby as if she had unintentionally.

Counting their table, there were seven tables of people in the lobby, five of which were all men, and two of which were women and children. A few little beggars shuttled among them to beg for money, and the neighboring table was reluctant to ask for steamed buns, only a three-year-old little beggar seemed to be hungry, so he took the steamed buns and quickly stuffed them into his mouth. Two beggars seemed to be mute, and could only stretch out their hands but could not speak.

Xiao Er scolded in his mouth, "Get out, get out, don't disturb the guests." ”

He scolded so badly that the beggar didn't seem afraid. The little beggar who begged for a few pennies ran out happily, and a new little beggar ran in.

The little beggar who was eating steamed buns also ran out, and as soon as he left the inn gate, he was slapped on the ground by a man in his forties outside, and he didn't dare to cry.

The little beggar's unkempt hair hung down under his ears, his little face and clothes were so dirty that he couldn't see the color, and he didn't wear shoes, revealing two small black dirty feet. I could only see those beautiful big eyes, black and shiny, and very long eyelashes. Maybe it's too thin, and the eyes appear bigger and rounder. At this time, his eyes were wrapped in two packets of tears, like black glass soaked in water.

When he got up, the two black glasses inadvertently looked at the lobby, just in time to meet Xu Lanyin's gaze. Seeing those eyes full of pity and tenderness looking at herself, just like a mother looking at herself, the little beggar's tears could no longer hold back and fall, and two curved "white lines" flowed across the little face.

The beggar who had just beaten him was even more angry when he saw him crying, slapped him in the mouth again, cursed in a low voice, and a half-big beggar came over and dragged the little beggar away like a broom.

Xu Lanyin's heart was entangled, she couldn't see the child being abused, and she was still such a young child. But at this time, she can't help, she has to find out the situation here first.

What's more, the shopkeeper behind the counter seems to be calculating, but he will glance at their table from time to time, and he will stay on Xu Lanyin a little longer.

With Zhao Wu, a master, Xu Lanyin was not very afraid.

She covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and whispered, "Don't eat the food here yet, I'll go and say a few words to the shopkeeper and feel the situation." ”

When Zhao Wuyong touched his nose with his hand, he asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?" I'll go for it. ”

"No, I'll go."

Xu Lanyin got up, and she still wanted to follow, but she pressed her on the chair.

Xu Lanyin came to the counter, put her hands on the counter, and asked in Qin's southern accent, "Uncle, I heard that the best embroidery workshop in Feng County is Wang Sanniang's embroidery workshop, how to go?" ”

The shopkeeper is in his forties, slightly chubby, with a goatee and a smiling tiger. said with a smile, "Wang Sanniang Embroidery Workshop is indeed the best embroidery workshop in Feng County, which can be comparable to the Lanxin Embroidery Workshop in the provincial capital." Wang Sanniang's embroidery workshop is on South Street, which is far away from us. It's closed now, so let's go tomorrow girl......"

Xu Lanyin smiled again and asked, "What are the specialties here?" I want to bring some back to my family. ”

The shopkeeper answered them one by one very patiently, and his face was kind and polite.

But in my heart, I haven't met such a little beautiful sheep for a long time. Although it's not the best color, it's more itchy to look at than the stunning color. Such a good product is sold to the south, and a thousand taels of silver are indispensable, but it is a pity that I can't personally open the bag for Xiaomeiyang for the silver......

He quickly glanced at Zhao Wu's table, and thought again, the little thin sheep was first for the brothers to be happy, poured dumb medicine and sold it to the mountains, and the little lamb was poisoned and dumb to beg for food. Those two rams, the old poisonous mute sold to private mines, if the young ones were not Lian Jiazi, it would be a pity to slaughter them......

His heart is as vicious as a devil, but his face is kind.

Xu Lan was shocked, and under the pressure of panic, disgust and disgust, she smiled, "Oh, I know, thank you shopkeeper." ”

"No thanks, no thanks." The shopkeeper smiled kindly.

Xu Lanyin returned to the table and sat down, and there were already several dishes on the wine table.

She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and whispered, "Don't eat, find a way to go back to the house." ”

Zhao Wu bowed slightly. He very generously threw a silver horn at a little beggar, and the other little beggars had a green light in their eyes, and they all ran around him to ask for money.

Zhao Wu was annoyed, frowned and scolded, "It's gone, it's gone, get out." ”

The little beggars finally met a generous "rich man", who was willing to go, some pulled his clothes, some hugged his arm, and shouted, "Uncle have mercy on us, uncle have mercy on us......"

Xu Lanting was so frightened that he shrank into Zhao Wu's arms.

Zhao Wuqi said, "It's noisy, there's no way to eat here, go back to the room to eat." With that, he picked up Xu Lanting and got up and walked upstairs.

Xu Lanyin and Zhangqi followed.

Ding Gu, who was walking behind, said to Xiao Er, "I'm tired of the little brother bringing the wine and food into our room, it's too noisy here, my grandfather doesn't like it." ”

Several people went directly into Zhao Wu's room.

Xiao Er put on the wine and food and went out.

Zhao Wu listened to Xiao Er's footsteps and gradually walked away before he plugged the door shut. He listened to the door again, and made sure that there was no one outside, and then quietly asked, "Is it wrong here?" ”

Xu Lanyin said in a low voice, "Well, can we check out and leave now?" ”

Zhao Wu said, "If it's not right, they probably have already done something on the mule or mule cart." Seeing that we insist on going out, you will surely guess that we are aware of it and will not let us go easily. Now that it's dark, it's even more unpredictable to get your hands dirty outside. ”

He wasn't afraid of those people, but he was afraid that they would hurt Xu Lanyin's sister and brother when he fought. It would be nice to have two more helpers.

Then he asked, "What did you hear?" ”

Xu Lan couldn't say that she heard the shopkeeper's heart, and said in a deep voice, "That shopkeeper is not a good person, this inn is likely to be a den of thieves who kill people and steal goods." I asked him how to get to Wang Sanniang's embroidery workshop, and he said that he walked out of the inn and went three streets west of it. Wang Sanniang's embroidery workshop is obviously on South Street, next to the Chengnan Inn where we have lived twice before, and it is not more and more deviant to go west. ”

She changed the shopkeeper's words.

Zhao Wu frowned and said, "When he said this lie, he probably thinks that we won't live tomorrow, or we won't be able to get out of this inn or go to the embroidery workshop tomorrow." Those beggars also seem to be raised by them, they want money when they get it, and they steal it if they don't get it, and they steal one of my jade pendants. ”

He was stolen and deliberately pretended not to be aware.
