Chapter 41: The Black Shop
A group of four people, tossing and turning day and night, and the carriage running day and night. Finally arrived in Laizhou.
Within a few days, I arrived in Laizhou. Gao Rui was very surprised, and couldn't help but take Tao'er's hand and say to Tao'er: "Now that we have arrived in Laizhou, it really pays off." Tomorrow we will be able to rush to the Penglai Immortal Mountain. ”
"It's been a tiring few days, let's find an inn to stay in this Hutouya Town." Xu Hui said.
"Well, even though time is running out. But here is less than a few hundred miles away from Penglai Mountain, and we will take care of our spirits and rush to Penglai tomorrow. Gao Rui also agrees.
The town of Hutou Cliff is on the edge of Laizhou and is named after the towering cliffs of nearby Hutou Mountain. Legend has it that on the Hutou Mountain, dense primeval forests grow. The dense fog in the forest has not dispersed for thousands of years. The vegetation in the forest is luxuriant, the terrain is complex, and it is extremely easy to get lost. The inhabitants of the town did not dare to go into the woods. It is said that a few people who died went up the mountain and never came out again. Since then, no one has dared to set foot in the woods.
The town is not big, and there are not many pedestrians. There is only one inn in town, and it looks like it's in disrepair. As the sun sets, the two-story building is crumbling, but business is booming. The lobby on the first floor is full of guests. Everyone drank and talked happily, talked about it, and gambled. Every place is full of the atmosphere of rivers and lakes.
"Tiger Head Inn, so domineering name. We'll stay here tonight. Gao Rui looked at the plaque of the inn, which was in disrepair and crumbling. Waved his hand helplessly.
Everyone walked into the inn, and Xiao Er hurriedly ran up to greet the guests. I saw that the second little man in this shop was tall and mighty, and his arms were thick. But he doesn't look like a miscellaneous subordinate, but like a practitioner.
"The four are objective, is it a tip or a store?"
"Pick three good rooms, and we'll stay here for the night."
"Come with me, guest officer."
These three rooms were originally one each for Tao'er and Ah Lian, and one for Gao Rui and Xu Hui. The four of them went up to the second floor, but found that there were many guests in the lobby, but the dozen or so rooms were all empty. Gao Rui was so strange that he thought in his heart: "The passers-by of the rivers and lakes here only know that they come here to fight." It's strange why no one lives in the hotel. ”
The four of them put their things together and sat down at a table in the lobby.
Xu Hui has also been tired these days, and his stomach growls with hunger before he eats. hurriedly said to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, hurry up and serve a few hot dishes, and then a pot of good wine." ”
After a while, Xiao Er rushed over with a few dishes. Xu Hui saw that he finally had something to eat, so he hurriedly picked up his chopsticks. But these dishes made Xu Hui lose his appetite. Two plates of pickled vegetables, a smoked chicken, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of beef in sauce. Xu Hui looked at the dishes in front of him, didn't feel Nunu's nose, turned to Xiao Er and said, "Why are they all ready-made cold dishes, don't you have hot dishes that are copied in such a big inn?" Or do you think we can't afford to pay for it, so you take some pickles and sauce to fool us? ”
Xiao Er had a little bead of sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "The guest officer doesn't know, the master of our kitchen has been sick in the past few days, but I am afraid that this disease will be passed on to the guest, so the shopkeeper will ask him to rest at home for a few days." These dishes are the best dishes in the shop, and I hope that the guest officer Haihan will do it. ”
"Forget it, in that case, we'll just leave it at that."
Xu Hui picked up the wine jug, poured a small cup, and just wanted to serve it. was put in the column by Gao Rui: "Don't drink it, I'm afraid that this wine is poisonous." Gao Rui had already seen the clues, so he whispered to everyone, "When I came here, I found many clues, for the sake of insurance, everyone should not eat this meal." Let's go back to the room quickly, there is still some dry food left, and we will pad our stomachs first. ”
