Chapter 420: Traces
"Is there any room here?" A thin young man stood at the door of the hotel and watched for a long time before he walked in.
"I'm sorry, the upstairs is full," replied the bald uncle, who was drowsy on the chaise longue at the door, and although the people upstairs looked a little fierce, they were extraordinarily generous, which made him no longer complain, because he had saved a lot of effort to attract customers.
You must know that because of the remote location of this hotel, the facilities are old, there are basically few people who care, the bald man no longer remembers the last time someone lived full, and these people are also generous to pay three times the price, as long as this order is completed, even if he wants to be idle for more than half a year, it will not be a problem, provided that he can get the money smoothly.
"I really can't find a place to live, I'll give you more money, you can give me a room," the young man didn't seem to want to give up so easily, and subconsciously touched his backpack, which made a crisp currency collision sound, which sounded like a lot.
"There is another room on the first floor, I originally wanted to keep it for myself, since you are so sincere, then I will give you the room," the bald man stretched out three fingers, "30 gold coins a night, no two prices." β
Looking at the bald man's oily face, although Shen Shuchen scolded in his heart, he still couldn't see any emotion with a smile on his face.
"So expensive? Can it be cheaper? Shen Shuchen touched his backpack, his expression was obviously reluctant.
This hotel has been broken and can no longer be broken, next to any hotel is better than here, I thought the price here would be the lowest, but I didn't expect that this place is more expensive than many more high-end hotels, it seems that this bald man has made up his mind to pit him.
"20 gold coins, no less!" The bald man looked at the other party's distressed expression, afraid that the big customer would run away like this, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to stay.
"Okay, 20 is 20, I don't want to run around anymore," the young man reluctantly took out a handful of gold coins from his backpack and counted twenty to the bald man in front of him.
"Refreshing!" The bald man put his fluffy hand directly into the crotch of his pants, groped for a long time, and actually took out a key that was already covered with rust, and handed it directly to the young man, "Here you go, there is a room on the first floor, you can see it when you walk in." β
"Okay, thank you," said the young man, holding the key with two fingers with disgust, he could even smell the strong smell emanating from it, and he would not have entered the hotel anyway if he hadn't seen the conspicuous sign on the wall.
The bald man didn't care what the young man thought, he touched the twenty gold coins, and his saliva was about to flow down when he looked at the dazzling color.
You must know that in normal times, even if it is 5 gold coins a night, there are many people who don't look down on this place, after all, there are too many better places than him, and I don't know why this group of people chose here.
However, he doesn't care about the true intentions of these people, as long as he has money to earn, he doesn't care about anything.
"Sure enough, it was exactly what I expected," the young man looked at the messy room, because it was damp all year round and could not see the sun, and there were many fungi of unknown origin growing in the corners of the walls, and the ceiling of the room was green, and it seemed that water could drip at any moment.
The only thing in the room that was quite neat was the single bed, most of the sheets were already a little yellow, and it was also because there was only one pillow on the bed, and there was not even a cover, and the young man recalled the towering belly of the bald man, maybe the fat reserves on the other party were enough for him to survive the cold night.
"Hello, do you want to smoke?" Just as the young man was standing in the doorway, an unfamiliar voice came from behind.
"I don't smoke," the young man casually threw his backpack on the bed and closed the door and walked towards the strange man, "This hotel is too broken, isn't it?" You live here too? β
"Well, anyway, it's just a temporary stay for a few days, it's quieter here," the middle-aged man sat down casually on the steps at the door, the recliner next to him was empty, and the bald man who was lying there before was gone.
"What are the prices of other hostels in this jurisdiction? How do I have a feeling of being pitted? The young man sat down next to him, staring at the equally dilapidated inn across from him, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The price of this hotel is indeed a bit expensive, but the boss is often absent, so it can be said that it saves a lot of trouble, which jurisdiction are you from?" As the middle-aged man spoke, his eyes fell on the young man, intentionally or unintentionally, trying to test the identity of the other party.
"Cliff Shore," the young man didn't reply, "I've heard that most of the people in the Jurisdiction are planning to come here, and I'm afraid it's not safe to stay there, so I'll have to follow along, hitchhiking on a brother's ride." β
"You're here too?" The young man coughed a few times, obviously not used to the smell of smoke.
"Well, you've heard of the auction house, right? Want to see if there is anything you can afford, do you want to see it? I have extra tickets," the middle-aged man looked very talkative, took out a crumpled note from his pocket, and shook it in front of the young man's eyes.
"Auction?" The young man immediately began to shake his head, "That's not a place I can afford, I'd better honestly find a place to stay, I don't have much money." Big brother, where are you from? It shouldn't be a cliff jurisdiction, right? β
"Kyushu jurisdiction..."The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, "I really admire you for being able to find this place." β
"Since you're here, be prepared to be found."
"I sent people to find people from other jurisdictions, but there has been no news for a few days, it seems that we really underestimate the Dongfeng jurisdiction," the middle-aged man shook his head, threw the half-smoked cigarette in his hand directly on the ground, and stepped on it a few times.
"You don't underestimate the Dongfeng jurisdiction, you underestimate meβShen Shuchen," the young man laughed harmlessly, "I didn't expect Zhao Tianzhou in the Kyushu jurisdiction to be such an approachable character, this is indeed a bit unexpected by me." β
"Shen Shuchen... Sure enough, the hero is a young man, it seems that I am really old," Zhao Tianzhou continued to have faint white smoke coming out of his nostrils as he spoke.
"Steward Zhao's family is dominant, naturally it is a good means, I still need to ask Steward Zhao more in the future..."Just as Shen Shuchen was speaking, Wang Weicheng had already brought people around.
"Steward Zhao, will you take the other stewards of the Kyushu jurisdiction with us?"
