Chapter 43: Deliberately

The person in the lobby who was pulled by the surviving horse thieves was a little strange in Sima Jingling's eyes, but it was not a problem at all for Liu Ruyi, who knew the identities and names of everyone here clearly.

After she went downstairs, she had already changed the news she wanted, and then she was attracted by the sudden movement in the lobby, so she gathered here to watch the lively guests, and consciously made a way for Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ru nodded to the guests on both sides, and then walked straight to the man, and after taking a look, he smiled slightly without emotion,

"It turned out to be Director Zhao, when did you come, why didn't you say a word to me Liu Ru, so that I could entertain you well?"

Liu said this, and deliberately turned a cold face at the guy who was guarding the door, and reprimanded: "You have been doing it for so many years, do you still need me to teach you what to do in this situation?" Director Zhao didn't know the report when he came, so go down and get the punishment himself. ”

The man lowered his head and answered, with a slightly sad face, and left the lobby to collect the punishment himself.

The people around him quietly watched him leave, showing him a sympathetic gaze that was not easy to detect.

But each of them had a serious face on their faces, and they couldn't see the slightest schadenfreude.

Of course, in order to make up for the unwarranted disaster suffered by their partners who have been with them for many years, they deliberately looked at Director Zhao with fierce and unkind eyes. And Director Zhao, under such a gaze, his forehead was unconsciously covered with cold sweat.

He lifted his sleeve and wiped it on his forehead a few times, then licked and smiled and said to Liu Rushi: "Shopkeeper Liu, this, isn't this because I know that you are busy today, so I specially said hello and didn't bother you." ”

Liu Ru is full of disagreement.

She shook her head again and again, her face was full of self-blame for neglecting the distinguished guest, and directly narrowed the distance between her and Director Zhao.

"What is Director Zhao talking about, since you have come to my Yumen Inn, you are naturally my Liu Ruye's guest. It is natural to entertain guests, what is the saying of being lazy and not lazy? Or blame me for not properly mentioning these guys under my command because of today's big events, so that they can make mistakes. ”

The expression of self-blame and chagrin on Liu Ru's face was too sincere, as if she couldn't greet Director Zhao, that is, she couldn't forgive her mistakes. He even had to directly reach out and pull Director Zhao to say a few words, which made Director Zhao startled and staggered back a few steps.

Director Zhao was shocked and refused again and again,

"No, no, no, no. Shopkeeper Liu is like this, it's too tormenting for me Zhao. ”

The sweat on Director Zhao's face seemed to flow more.

At this time, the sun was high, and the golden-colored disc had been hanging high above the dome at some point, unleashing its enthusiasm without restraint, so that the endless yellow sand seemed to be slowly fading, and a dry white mist lingered.

The guests in the inn have already traveled lightly, and some of them are informal, and even directly half-open their chests, allowing the fine sweat to hang a luster on their skin.

In this weather, sweating is naturally a matter of course, and it is not worth making a fuss.

But Director Zhao's sweat is not only more than ordinary people, but his complexion is really different from ordinary people.

Ordinary people have ruddy complexions, especially on everyone's cheeks, there are two red clouds, thick or light; On the contrary, Director Zhao was pale, his eyes were frightened, as if he was standing in the cold winter wax moon, and he was not in the same season as everyone at all.

Such a manifestation of weakness of heart is too obvious.

However, as if he hadn't seen such an abnormality, Liu Ru not only didn't ask Director Zhao what happened to him standing in the lobby at this time and these surviving horse thieves, but also asked with great concern:

"Is Director Zhao too hot? Also, in this weather, it is indeed uncomfortable to travel. ”

After that, without waiting for Director Zhao to react, he said directly to the guy closest to him:

"Go and bring the soup that has been cold in our kitchen and give it to Director Zhao to drink."

When the guy heard this, the stern and indifferent expression on his face that had been tense almost didn't hold it.

He hurriedly lowered his head, answered the call and walked quickly towards the kitchen, for fear that he would show a strange expression in front of everyone if he was one step late.

As he walked, he thought, where is there any summer soup in their inn now, hasn't the summer soup already been distributed to the guests, and is now preparing to boil the second pot?

However, he has been following Shopkeeper Liu for so many years, so he naturally knows that Shopkeeper Liu definitely didn't let him get the real summer soup. So in the kitchen, the only one that can be regarded as the "summer soup" requested by the shopkeeper is the only one, right?

Although he knew that Director Zhao was self-inflicted, he still couldn't help but start to have a trace of sympathy for Director Zhao in his heart.

In the lobby, after seeing that the guy understood what he meant, and left to get his own special "summer soup", he sighed, as if he had earnestly instructed:

"Seeing that this day is getting hotter and hotter, everyone has to take good care of their bodies and don't overheat.

Although this ice cube is a luxury, everyone is not a person who is short of money, and it is also appropriate to indulge occasionally to lower their body temperature and cool off.

If you feel unwell, don't put up with it, and hurry up and talk to our guys. Take a few sips of our soup to ward off the heat and dissipate some of it. ”

Regardless of whether the surrounding guests were true or not, after hearing Liu Ru's words, they still happily thanked the shopkeeper Liu for his kindness.

And Director Zhao, who was opposite Liu Ru, also nodded stiffly at Liu Ru.

Coincidentally, this guy came out with a "summer soup".

There is nothing wrong with this bowl of "summer soup", nor does it have any special taste, and it doesn't look any different from what the inn provides to everyone.

But in the eyes of Director Zhao, this soup was like a bowl of poison, which made people frightened, so he knelt down on the spot and hugged the thigh of Shopkeeper Liu and begged for mercy.

However, this thought can only be passed in Director Zhao's head for a while.

Thinking of the benefits that the man promised to himself and the threat that he couldn't afford, Director Zhao was so evil that he could bite the bullet and give this bowl of soup to the next.

Liu Ru watched Director Zhao stretch out his hand, tremblingly took the bowl of "summer soup", as if he had made a decision, his eyes were closed, as if he was looking at death, and he drank the bowl of soup in one gulp.

It's a pity that before he could successfully cross his throat and swallow it into his stomach, he vomited it all at once, making everyone around him retreat.

Liu Ru was surprised and worried, and said with a worried expression: "It seems that Director Zhao is very sick, so I have to go to the doctor and take a look." ”
