Chapter 1 There is an inn
Hey, there's an inn?"
on the bustling streets.
A young man in a cyan suit with an extraordinary appearance suddenly stopped holding a strong black horse in his hand.
He looked up at the plaque in front of him.
The handsome face showed a look of interest.
Because the name of this inn is Youjian Inn.
Young people can be regarded as having traveled far and wide to see a lot, but this is the first time they have encountered an inn with such an interesting name.
"Do you want to sharpen the guest officer or stay in the hotel?"
At this time.
A simple-looking young boy suddenly walked out of the door of the inn, and greeted him with a warm face.
"Let's stay at the hotel and feed my horses some good feed by the way. ”
Under normal circumstances.
Young people choose the best inns in the area when staying outside the home.
But this time, perhaps it was the name of the inn that piqued his interest, and he decided to make an exception to stay at this old inn that looked a little old.
"Okay, guest officer, please. ”
As soon as the young junior heard that the other party wanted to stay in the hotel, he hurriedly took the reins from the other party's hand, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic.
"Our store has a small business, do you want to go out to fight?"
As soon as I stepped into the threshold of the inn.
The young people found something more interesting.
On the most visible wall of the inn is a line of large letters.
As a result, the young man couldn't help but read it softly with a smile on his face.
It seems that the shopkeeper of this inn should be a wonderful person.
The lobby of the inn is small, with less than ten tables.
But the tables are very clean, there is no dust on the floor, and the inn is quite well lit, and although the lobby looks shabby, it is generally neat and bright, giving people a sense of natural harmony.
"Shopkeeper?"
After a brief observation of the environment of the inn.
The young man's eyes gradually fell on the long counter on the left-hand side of the door.
Inside the counter.
He saw a middle-aged man lying in a rocking chair who appeared to be asleep.
With his eyesight, it is naturally not difficult to see.
Although the other party has a tough posture, he does not have any internal strength and martial arts.
"Oh, there's a guest coming, is the guest officer sharpening or staying in the hotel?"
Hear the call of young people.
The middle-aged man slowly opened his wistful eyes, and at the same time stretched his waist and yawned.
He turned his head to look at the young man at the counter.
The smile on his face was a little salty.
"Stay. ”
The young man didn't seem to care about the attitude of the middle-aged shopkeeper, and he still had a faint smile on his face.
"How many days?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper lay on the rocking chair and had no intention of getting up.
"It's as short as three days, and as long as half a month. ”
The young man casually took a money ticket from his bosom and gently placed it on the counter.
"The room on the far left of the second floor, if there is anything, just tell the guys in the store, as for the money, when the time comes, according to the consumption of the more and less to make up. ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper glanced at the money ticket on the counter and said leisurely.
"Good. ”
The young man raised his eyebrows.
I turned around and walked straight to the guest room on the second floor.
"Shopkeeper, you're finally awake!"
At this time.
After the honest-looking shopkeeper came back from the stable.
When he saw the counter with his legs crossed and leisurely looking at the notebook in his hand, he couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
"Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Ming, where did the others go?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper didn't raise his head.
"Shopkeeper, have you forgotten again, there is not much wine and food left in the shop, and yesterday you told them to buy it this morning. ”
Xiao Er said with a wry smile on his face.
"I see, I remembered, alas, people are old, and their memories are poor. ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper's face was stunned, and he shook his head and sighed.
“...... Shopkeeper, did you rude the new guest officer just now?"
Xiao Er seemed to have long been accustomed to the behavior of a middle-aged shopkeeper, so he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and simply diverted the topic.
"Faux pas? ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper didn't notice it.
"Shopkeeper, with your current attitude of ignoring answers, I can already imagine the mood of the guest officer just now, fortunately, the guest officer I met this time has a good temper, if you change it, you will want us to help you clean up your hands. ”
Xiao Er suddenly looked at the middle-aged shopkeeper with a resentful look in his eyes.
"Otherwise, why would I adopt you back then? ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper didn't care.
"Shopkeeper, you're here again. Xiao Er sighed when he heard this. "Okay, okay, I know, you can rest here in peace, just collect the money, and leave the affairs of the inn to us." ”
"It's hard work, even if I didn't raise you in vain. ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper waved his hand casually.
“......”
Alas.
looked at the appearance of the middle-aged shopkeeper.
Xiao Er couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, turned around and continued to work on other things.
"It's kind of interesting. ”
Rooms on the second floor.
The young man stood in front of the window and looked at the streets and alleys in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
Regarding the communication between the shopkeeper and the middle-aged shopkeeper, he naturally listened to it.
A lazy shopkeeper who doesn't do his job.
A helpless guy with good intentions.
Interesting inn plus interesting people.
When encountering such an interesting thing, the mood of young people becomes extremely happy.
He doesn't like boring people, boring things.
More precisely.
He doesn't like a boring life.
Because he is a very boring person, he doesn't want to make his life more boring.
"Guest officer, please, are you going to be sharp-edged or staying in the hotel?"
It didn't take long.
Downstairs, Xiao Er's warm greeting sounded again.
"Senior brother, the environment here is pretty good, why don't we just rest here?"
Lobby.
The new guests were a man and a woman.
The man is cold, and the woman is beautiful.
They both wore the same style of warrior suits, and they both wore long swords around their waists.
At a glance, you can tell that it is a child who has traveled from an unknown sect.
"Yes. ”
The grim man's gaze lingered on the two lines on the wall for a moment, and then he nodded expressionlessly.
Subsequently.
Under the personal control of the shopkeeper.
The man and woman moved in quickly.
And the room was on the opposite side of the young man's door.
It's noon.
The deserted lobby of the inn was lively.
Less than ten tables were already full.
Half of these guests are local neighbors who come to eat and chat.
As for the other half, it is natural that the guests are from out of town.
Since there are only four guys in the store.
A runaway, a choreman, a settler, and a cook.
So the inn got busy.
The young guys in the shop were so busy that they could be seen everywhere.
As for the middle-aged shopkeeper?
It's good that he didn't help.
And now, instead of helping, he sat down at a table and chair and chatted with the local neighbors who came to eat.
What the east is short of the west.
Whoever is the lady of the family gave birth to a big fat son, and what happened to the son and daughter of the whomever family.
It's just a trivial matter anyway.
On weekdays, middle-aged shopkeepers look listless.
But as soon as I got involved in these things, I was refreshed.
on this.
The rest of the guys were helpless.
The young people who were the first to move in did not choose to eat in their rooms, but came to the lobby on purpose.
He sat in the corner by the window.
After ordering a few side dishes.
He ate while looking at the lobby full of market atmosphere.
I have to say.
This inn surprises him more than that.
First of all, he ordered a side dish.
Side dishes.
It turned out to be a very small dish.
When you meet a warrior with a big appetite, you can't eat enough even if you eat a hundred plates.
However, these side dishes are full of color, flavor, and characteristics, and you can't help but take a second bite after taking one bite.
Basically, three or two efforts.
These side dishes are swept away, and it is difficult to satisfy the appetite at all.
Here's the problem.
These side dishes are not only small in portions, but also expensive in the key, and they are not even allowed to order more.
According to the little two of the running hall, it is claimed that it is a limited sale.
Only one serving can be ordered per person.
It's really hard to understand how this business is doing.
Of course.
There is also cheap food in the inn.
A bowl of noodles.
Large bowl of lasasa.
Basically, the neighbors who come here to eat order this kind of food.
The young man had just ordered one curiously.
But when you eat it, you find that this noodle is not as delicious as you imagined, and it is far inferior to those delicate side dishes.
But this side has an advantage.
The amount is large and the tube is full.
But this is for the average person.
And there is a rule in the inn.
Everything you order must be eaten.
What happens if I don't finish eating?
Xiao Er, who ran the hall, said that this inn would not welcome each other in the future.
Afternoon.
The guests in the lobby have already left.
The shopkeeper who had no one to talk with was lying down again, and the rocking chair in the counter began to close his eyes and recuperate, while humming some strange tunes that he didn't know why.
The young men at the counter who were settling accounts seemed to be deaf to them, and had been carefully recording the ledgers.
"Shopkeeper, it's time to eat!"
At this time.
The young boy who was doing chores had just cleaned up the lobby.
The runner in the back hall walked out with a plate of food.
He put the food one by one behind the largest long table in the lobby and shouted to the middle-aged shopkeeper at the counter.
"Got it, got it!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper said impatiently, got up and walked lazily towards the long table.
"Ah Chao, don't be busy, let's come to dinner quickly!"
After greeting the middle-aged shopkeeper, the junior boy urged the young guy who was keeping the account at the counter, and then said to the young guy who was doing chores.
"Ade, you go to the back kitchen and call Little Bear to come over for dinner, and help her serve her food by the way. ”
"Good!"
The handyman deserves to be very crisp, and he ran to the back kitchen as soon as he slipped a cigarette.
"Do you need anything else, this guest officer?"
The next moment.
The second child walked to the corner of the window with a smile on his face.
Because the entire lobby is now only left with this table of guests.
"Let's make another pot of tea, I want to sit here and be quiet. ”
The young man said with a gentle smile.
"Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment. ”
Soon.
The second child of the running hall sent the new tea over.
At the same time, the miscellaneous boy and the cook have already appeared in the lobby with food.
After delivering the tea, the junior second child of the running hall ignored the young man and returned directly to the long table.
"Let's eat. ”
When everybody is seated.
The middle-aged shopkeeper picked up the chopsticks and said weakly.
The four of them began to move their chopsticks after hearing this.
"The cook is actually a woman?"
The young man sitting in the corner by the window quietly observed the people at the dinner table.
To his surprise, the cook was a young woman with a mediocre appearance.
"Little bear, I'm busy today, come on, eat more. ”
On the dinner table.
The miscellaneous Xiao Er was very enthusiastic about sandwiching the dishes to the young woman beside him.
"Ade, how many times have I said that I can pick up the dishes myself, and I don't need your help. ”
The young woman said indifferently.
"Little Bear, what are you saying to me, come on, come on. ”
The miscellaneous Xiao Er turned a deaf ear and still said enthusiastically.
Seeing this, the junior and the bookkeeper both glanced at each other, pouted at each other and continued to eat the food in the bowl as if they hadn't seen it.
"Ade, licking a dog can't die well, have you forgotten my advice to you?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper casually pulled two mouthfuls of food, and said to the miscellaneous man in a lazy tone.
"The treasurer's teachings have always been taken to heart, but I also have my own thoughts. ”
The miscellaneous guy smiled disapprovingly at the middle-aged shopkeeper.
"Cut, I'm too lazy to care about you. ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper has no good airway.
Not much.
All the meals on the table have been eaten.
The middle-aged shopkeeper returned to the rocking chair in the cabinet and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the female chef Xiaoxiong went back to the back kitchen, while the handyman followed all the way.
The bookkeeper is still bookkeeping.
Xiao Er, who ran the hall, finished picking up the hygiene of the long table, propped up his cheek with one hand, and looked out of the door with his eyes.
Time.
The entire lobby fell silent.
The young man who had not left the corner of the window may have found it boring, and got up and prepared to walk towards the outside of the inn.
"Shopkeeper! Xiao Er, hurry up and bring me all the best wine and food in your store. ”
Unexpectedly, the young man just got together.
A loud grin sounded at the gate.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a thin man with a pair of inverted triangular eyes striding in.
The young man after seeing each other's appearance.
Immediately sat back quietly.
It's him?
How did he get here?
Yes.
The young man did recognize who the thin man was.
Yan Chong.
A big thief who is good at collecting and replenishing things, and everyone shouts and beats.
If it weren't for this guy's first-class escape skills, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived at all.
Even young people can't guarantee that they will succeed in chasing each other.
Let alone.
Young people are not righteous people.
As long as the other party doesn't come to provoke him, he doesn't bother to pay attention to the other party.
"Yan Chong!"
The clinker guy was just about to come forward to say hello.
Upstairs, a woman's shout rang out.
"Ho ho ho, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to be so lucky, he actually bumped into you here, dared to spoil Lao Tzu's good deeds before? No one else helped you this time, I see where you are fleeing this time!"
Yan Chong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the loud shouting, and when he followed the prestige to see a man and a woman who suddenly appeared upstairs, he couldn't help but show a cruel and obscene smile on his face.
Qiang –
The cold man and woman upstairs didn't say a word.
In an instant, he drew the long sword at his waist.
"Three guest officers, are you all illiterate and can't read the words written on the wall? If you don't understand, I'll read it to you personally.
Seeing that the battle was about to break out.
Suddenly.
A lazy voice rang in everyone's ears.
