Chapter 262: The innkeeper
Su Mulian looked at the inn in front of her that was located on the street, there was almost no business, and after walking in, she could still smell the smell of mold in the air, which made her frown in disgust.
In my mind, let's change it.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a fat, tall, and probably thirty-year-old woman suddenly ran out in front of him.
"Girl, do you want to stay in the hotel?" The woman asked with a courteous smile.
Su Mulian's heart tightened, raised an embarrassed smile, and then shook her head, and was about to leave around when she was about to stop the fat woman again.
"Girl, we have a room in the inn." The fat woman laughed, the flesh on her face piled up, and she looked like an honest person.
Su Mulian turned around and looked at the environment of the storefront, if it was in modern times, it would be a hotel, and the environment would be slightly worse.
"Girl, it's getting late now, and you're not safe as a girl." The fat woman, who was afraid of missing out on the business, hurriedly said.
Su Mulian looked at the half-bright and half-dark outside, the people here are not familiar with the place, and the security in ancient times is not as safe as in modern times, besides, she only lives here for one night, and she has to hurry tomorrow, so she thought about it.
"Well, I want an upper room." Su Mulian took out a silver ticket and handed it to the fat woman.
The fat woman's eyes widened in surprise, she took it with both hands, held it in her arms with her love of money, and her attitude was more respectful, she bowed slightly, and said, "Girl, I'll take you there." ”
Su Mulian nodded silently, followed him up the stairs, and just walked up two steps up the stairs, she saw a thin old man wiping the table in the corner, and he didn't make a sound from beginning to end, which made Su Mulian stop in fright.
"There is another person." Su Mulian said.
The fat woman smiled apologetically and explained, "This is my uncle, his wife died young, and he has no children, so he came here to join me and do chores in the shop." ”
Su Mulian looked at the old man again, because it was dark, the light was not good, and he couldn't really see it, he could only see his figure, as well as his faint face, those deep eyes, like an eagle in the night, made people suddenly feel uneasy.
"Girl, shall we go?" The fat woman asked when she saw her stunned.
Su Mulian, who came to her senses, nodded apologetically at her, continued to lift her steps and followed her upstairs, for this store, there was an inexplicable unsteadyness, and couldn't help asking: "Is this shop just you and your uncle?" ”
The fat woman sighed melancholy, with a little sadness, and said: "I originally had a husband, but then I ran away with other women, so I became a laughing stock in everyone's eyes, and my family was even more angry." ”
"Huh?" Su Mulian couldn't help but be surprised, you must know that in this era of feudal superstition, it is particularly unfair to women, whether it is right or wrong, the final pot is carried by women.
The fat woman who suddenly stopped laughed coldly and turned her head to look at her: "What? ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else." Su Mulian hurriedly apologized, "I hope you don't misunderstand"
The fat woman shook her head indifferently: "It doesn't matter, girl, your room has arrived." ”
Su Mulian felt very guilty about her gaffe, but she didn't dare to explain more, after all, this kind of sadness was the other party's sadness, poking at other people's scars, and no one would feel good.
"Thank you." Su Mulian nodded in thanks, and then pushed the door in, this room is very large, and there is an alley under the window, although it looks simple, but it can be settled.
Su Mulian always felt that this inn was weird, but she couldn't explain the reason, and then thought that maybe she was too sharp.
It was already dark outside, and the moon was a little broken tonight, and even half of it was covered by dark clouds, Su Mulian sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the stars in the night sky, thinking in a daze, and sighing.
At this time, I suddenly remembered the knock on the door.
Su Mulian's heart tightened, she got up on guard, walked to the side of the bed and picked up the long whip, and asked, "Who?" ”
"Girl, it's me." The gentle voice of a fat woman came from outside the door.
Su Mulian's precaution in her heart did not decrease, and her intuition told her that this shop was not simple, frowned slightly, hid the long whip in her sleeve, and said, "Come in." ”
After speaking, the fat woman pushed the door in, still holding a tray in her hand, and said with a smile: "Girl, this is the mung bean soup presented by our store. ”
Su Mulian raised a grateful smile, nodded, and said, "Thank you, boss." ”
"Our little shop is not particularly good, but I also hope that you can live comfortably, girl." The fat woman said with a smile, and then went out, "You have a good rest." ”
After Su Mulian waited for her to leave, she got up and came to the table, looked at the mung bean soup that night, picked it up and smelled it, and then put it down, her intuition told her that she couldn't drink it.
Because of the day's travel, sleepiness hit, the upper eyelids hit the lower eyelids, and fell asleep next to the pillow, not noticing that there were two people standing outside the room.
"I guess I'm unconscious, right?" The old man whispered.
The fat woman who was leaning against the door frowned and replied, "I guess I'm unconscious." ”
"Did she drink mung bean soup?" The old man asked worriedly.
The fat woman pursed her mouth uncertainly: "It should ...... You should drink it, right? ”
When the old man saw this, he sighed heavily: "Just in case, I'll go get something." ”
After a while, the old man who had gone back and forth had one more thing in his hand, a small bamboo pipe, which he pierced through the window paper and blew lightly.
After a while, the two opened the door and walked in, and saw that the woman on the bed was sleeping soundly, and the fat woman took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to cover her mouth and nose.
"I don't believe she'll wake up!" The fat woman's face became fierce, her eyes were also sharp, she looked at Su Mulian who was unconscious, snorted coldly, and said, "This woman is really good-looking." ”
"Have you contacted Mother Wu?" The old man asked.
The fat woman smiled proudly: "Don't worry, I've already been contacted, change my clothes, and I can send it over." ”
"This woman is so good-looking, she should be able to sell for a good price." The old man looked Su Mulian up and down, smiled brightly, and when he got closer, he stretched out his hand and was about to reach over.
When the fat woman saw it, she hurriedly beat it off, and warned dissatisfiedly: "In order to sell it for a good price, don't beat her up!" ”
The old man said unwillingly: "Hmph, I have lived here for so long, and I have never seen such a beautiful woman." ”
When the fat woman heard this, her face became even lower, her eyes narrowed, her hands clenched into fists, and she gritted her teeth and said.
"I hate beautiful women!"
