Xiao Yue looked at her eyes that were covered by wind and frost, why was her heart a little sour, listening to Xu Chengchang's introduction, this flower girl should be only in her thirties, how could she be like this.

"Yes, are you the shopkeeper?" Satsuki gave way to the door.

Hua Niang took the medicine bowl, walked to her side, and said with a kind expression: "I am the boss lady, you can call me Hua Niang." I still have something on my hands, if the girl doesn't mind, wait for me at the front counter for a while, and I'll come as soon as I go. ”

"Okay, Hua Niang. Xiao Yue walked to the front desk alone, but her eyes did not leave Hua Niang, only to see her holding a medicine bowl and walking into a small passage next to the kitchen, there was a faint light at the end of the passage, and she could occasionally hear a few coughs coming from inside.

Satsuki returned to the front desk, she found a bench to sit on, but she felt that the stool was cold, she stood up again and looked around. The inn looks very unremarkable, both from the exterior and from the interior, and the string of lanterns at the door is a signature item.

Suddenly there was a special whirlwind at the door, Xiao Yue poked out of the door, there was nothing outside the door, she was about to go back to the house to avoid the cold wind, the corner of her right eye was aimed at a man on the ground, he was sitting on the stone steps at the door, holding a wine jug in his left hand, drinking sip of wine, supporting the ground with his right hand, his back against the wall outside the door, his head was lowered, and he couldn't see his face.

Xiao Yue looked at him with some curiosity, it was such a cold day, and it was still night, I don't know what this person was going to do when he was sitting here, and when Xiao Yue was wondering, Hua Niang had already walked to her side.

"Girl, what are you looking at?" asked Hua Niang, smiling as she stood on the counter, sorting out the objects on the counter.

Xiao Yue didn't speak, just pointed to the outside with her finger, Hua Niang looked at her like this, she was not curious at all, she was not surprised, she said very calmly: "There is a person outside the door, right?"

Xiao Yue looked at her in surprise and nodded.

Hua Niang was surprised and said, "Well, he comes here every day." ”

"Oh. Xiao Yue felt that since this was the case, she still didn't want to meddle with things, "Hua Niang, I want an upper room." ”

"Yes. Good. Hua Niang took a large string of keys from the cabinet under the counter, and said to Xiao Yue with a smile: "There are a lot of empty rooms now, and the girl can choose whatever she likes to live." ”

"So good?" Xiao Yue felt that this flower girl was still quite flexible in doing business, and she remembered that the shopkeeper mentioned that the owner of this inn helped guests order food at Jiang Shangyue Restaurant, and she had a good impression at that time, although she had been paying on credit later.

"Well, there are rooms in this inn in all directions, depending on what the girl likes," she pointed in the direction of the guest room, and then said: "Girl, you see, the door of our inn is facing south, and there are rooms in three directions: east, west, and north. The rooms on the east side are the first to get sunlight every day, and the rooms on the west side are the latest, so in the summer it is recommended to stay in the rooms facing the river and in the winter to stay in the east rooms. If you don't want to wake up early and like to be lively, I would recommend the room in the west, and if you want to be clean, I would recommend the room in the north. ”

Xiao Yue listened to her introduction to her inn, and she was a little stunned, "Actually, my requirements are very simple, I like to be clean, not too cold." ”

"Well, I know, the second floor is clean and warm, I'll take you upstairs. Hua Niang took out a small string of keys from a large bunch of keys, took it in her hand, and prepared to take Satsuki to see the guest room.

At this moment, the drunk man at the door walked in, he shook the empty wine jug in his hand, and said to Hua Niang: "Hua Niang, help me go to Sheyi Pot Bar again." ”

Hua Niang smiled and took down the flask in his hand, "Where are you staying tonight?"

With the help of the dim yellow oil lamp on the counter, Satsuki looked at the drunkard, only to see that he was wearing tattered clothes, and his face was wrapped in a dirty cloth towel, only his eyes and mouth were exposed, his body was medium, his hair was messy, and he was casually wrapped in a black cloth towel, and he couldn't tell his age at all. Although from the outside, this person looks a little down, like a beggar who used to be played on TV, but his eyes are a little weird, even if he deliberately pretends to be lazy and indifferent, but when his eyes inadvertently sweep over Xiao Yue, he still reveals a fine light.

Especially the cloth towel on this person's face, which made Xiao Yue a little scared, if it weren't for the fact that this person was shorter, Xiao Yue almost thought he was the man in black yesterday afternoon.

"Well... Can still live like that. The man looked at Hua Niang and smiled bitterly and said, "Let's live at the door." “

This drunk man was full of anger, but he pretended to be lazy and procrastinated, which made Xiao Yue more and more suspicious.

"Anyway, the room is empty, so why don't you come in and stay for one night." Hua Niang returned to the counter and pulled out a bunch of keys in the small cabinet below, "You can live in the room downstairs, you used to live in it." ”

The man shook his head, "Forget it, I still owe you a lot of wine money, and if you stay in the hotel, I will not be able to pay off the new account and the old one." ”

"Ah Niu, the money for staying in the hotel is free, and if you pay for wine, you can see that there are short-term workers there, and earn some food money, you can't do this. Hua Niang looked at him with a little sympathy, "It's not a way to drink all the time." ”

"Hehe, I'm like this, I'm afraid no one will invite me. The man laughed to himself.

Xiao Yue looked at him although he was down, but he had a kind of arrogance, which made her inevitably look at him a few more times.

The man also found that she was looking at herself, he also looked at Xiaoyue curiously, Xiaoyue was wearing a hat, but it could also be seen that she was petite and had a beautiful temperament, he said with some puzzlement: "Hua Niang, there are still guests at this time?"

Hua Niang still looked unfazed, smiled and said: "This inn is always someone to stay in the hotel, no accurate, in fact, if it weren't for the bad business in the store, I couldn't make a few dollars, otherwise I would definitely ask someone to help me come to the store, stay up all night, get a little older, I just can't stay up." ”

"Girl, let's go, I'll take you upstairs to see the room first. Hua Niang enthusiastically pointed out the way to Xiao Yue, there was a big staircase not far behind the counter, if it wasn't for Hua Niang's guidance, she wouldn't have found it.

Hua Niang didn't know where to find an oil lamp, Xiao Yue followed Hua Niang Ding Ding Dong stepped on the wooden stairs, walked up to the second floor, at a glance, Xiao Yue felt that this place was particularly like a university dormitory, a boxy corridor, the ground was clean, the corridor was tidy, the upstairs and downstairs guest rooms were the same, basically each room was about the same size, and there were potted plants at both ends of the corridor.

Xiao Yue looked downstairs and could see a large courtyard, there was a big water tank in the middle of the yard, and there were a lot of clothes poles in addition to that, and when she was looking around, she found that the drunk man was standing in the yard looking up at her.
