It was very strange that no one came to lead the horses, and Chen Jianqiu and the others went around to find where the stables were.

After settling the horses, the three of them arrived at the front of the hotel.

The door of the hotel was closed, and Chen Jianqiu shook the rain off his head, and he regretted a little that he didn't take the lieutenant's hat away at that time.

"Knock, knock." Chen Jianqiu knocked on the door.

There is no reaction inside.

"Knock, knock."

Still no one came to open the door.

Chen Jianqiu looked down, the light emitted through the crack at the bottom of the door was still dimmed from time to time, and someone was moving inside, occasionally covering the light.

Chen Jianqiu simply exerted a force in his hand, and with a "click", the door was pushed open.

What caught Chen Jianqiu's eyes was a dilapidated bar, a middle-aged woman with a slightly rich figure stood behind the bar, saw Chen Jianqiu and the three of them come in, and exchanged glances with a man sitting opposite the bar.

Chen Jianqiu continued to walk inside.

The whole first floor is really not bright, I don't know if it's because this fat woman is reluctant to burn kerosene, except for the lamp on the wall next to the window, only the bar and a table in the corner are lit.

There were a couple of men playing cards there. Different from Chen Jianqiu's impression, these men wearing cowboy hats did not make any noise at all, they were just quietly watching the cards in their hands. A man smoking a pipe noticed Chen Jianqiu's gaze at them and raised his head as well.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the pipe-smoking man lowered his head again, lowered the brim of his hat, and continued his game.

"Boss, why don't you have anyone here to help feed the horse?" Sean grumbled as he wrung the rain out of his body.

Some of the water droplets he wrung out fell on the bar, scratching the dust, leaving a water mark, Chen Jianqiu glanced at it, but did not speak.

Sean originally wanted to wring out the clothes, but eventually gave up. Because the pants and the inside are already thoroughly wet.

"There are no extra people, I'm the only one here, cooking, cleaning, you can feed yourself." The fat woman said angrily, either she didn't speak, and when she did, she looked like someone owed her hundreds of dollars.

"Do you have three empty rooms?" Sean was a little helpless and continued to ask.

"Nope." The fat woman replied unusually crisply.

"Boss, it's windy and raining outside, where do you let us find a place to live, we have money." Sean touched the small leather bag around his waist with his hand, trying to touch a small gold nugget to come out.

His hand was held down by the other.

Chen Jianqiu stuffed the gold nugget in his hand back again, and took out the wet few dollars from his clothes.

But even in the dim light, the glittering golden yellow did not escape the fat woman's eyes.

Chen Jianqiu didn't pay attention to the woman's gaze and put a few dollars on the table.

"Dear Madam, three rooms are not required, just give us one." Chen Jianqiu said, "In addition, we will feed the horses ourselves, so we don't have to bother you." By the way, if you have dry clothes, can you give one to each of us? ”

The fat woman's face softened a lot, she nodded, turned and bent down to find something in the bar, but after looking for a while, she took out a keyring.

The three of them followed the fat woman up the stairs, I don't know if it was because of the fat woman's weight, the stairs squeaked and fell a layer of dust after stepping on a few steps.

The four of them came to the second floor, and the fat woman came to the innermost room, handed the kerosene lamp in her hand to Asuka and asked him to help take care of it.

I don't know if it was because of the problem with the lock or the key, but the fat woman fumbled there for a long time before opening the door to the room.

As the door opened, there was a musty smell pouring out.

The fat woman threw the kerosene lamp and the key to them, and then prepared to turn and go downstairs: "I'll give you the clothes later, and it may be a little late for dinner, and I'll call you then." ”

Chen Jianqiu smiled: "Okay, madam." ”

After confirming that the fat woman was going downstairs, Chen Jianqiu turned around and closed the door.

"This place is too broken." Sean sat on the bed, there was nothing on this bed, no sheets, no quilts, "How do the three of us sleep?" Squeeze into a bed? ”

"I don't think there's something wrong with this hotel." Asuka, who had been silent, spoke.

Chen Jianqiu found that the door could not be locked from the inside, and it might open by itself even if it was blown by the wind, so he found a chair to hold the door against it.

"Is this a black shop?" Sean rolled over and got out of bed.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, there's nothing wrong with this town." Chen Jianqiu thought for a moment.

The town seemed so deserted, and the inn seemed to have not been cleaned in a long time, and if the corner of the staircase might have been overlooked, it was not reasonable to have so much ash on the bar. What's more, the fat woman also seems to be very unfamiliar with the hotel itself.

"Wait for Bird Ling and I to feed the horses. Feed them, then see if you can find a horse chew (a harness that prevents horses from biting or eating), bring them to the three horses, and bring weapons and ammunition with them. Sean stays in the room, and let's respond to all changes with the same. ”

After the three of them finished preparing, Chen Jianqiu and Fei Niao walked out of the door.

He suddenly turned his head and asked Asuka, "By the way, Asuka, is your injury better?" ”

"It's out of the way, it was okay two days ago, but I pulled the bow again two days ago." Asuka moved his shoulder, indicating that the injury was fine.

When passing downstairs, Chen Jianqiu found that the man who was sitting opposite the bar was gone, and several men sitting at the table in the hall playing cards were still playing cards.

And the proprietress was pouting her ass and cooking something on the side of the stove at this time, and the other stove by the bar was sizzling, Chen Jianqiu smelled it carefully, it was the smell of coffee.

The hall was quiet, no one paid attention to them, and the two men opened the door of the hotel, and a gust of wind mixed with rain drifted in.

The storm outside was even bigger.

Chen Jianqiu saw a large canvas next to the door, so he took it and rushed out with the flying bird on the canvas.

When they came to the stable, Black Carrot and Huey stayed quietly in their 'private rooms', Sean's horse was originally Scarf's mount, and Scarfed had been following Sean since he left, and the Negro gave him what he thought was the mighty name of Tempest.

Chen Jianqiu grabbed a handful of forage and handed it to the bird, who pinched it with his hand and sniffed it: "No problem." ”

The birds began to feed the horses, while Chen Jianqiu rummaged through the stables, eventually finding a few horse chews on the wall.

After dealing with it, the two of them began to walk back, the rain and wind were still very strong, even with canvas, and when they returned to the hotel, the two of them were still wet.

The two returned to the room.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the room. Chen Jianqiu walked over and moved the chair away.

A quilt, a stack of clothes, and a belly entered the door, followed by the round face of the fat woman. She threw her things on the bed: "This is the quilt and clothes, you can change them yourself, the stew is almost over, you can come down and eat." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Chen Jianqiu expressed his gratitude.

The fat woman turned and walked out of the room.

Sean shook the gray shirts: "It looks pretty good." ”

"It's possible that they're all dead." Chen Jianqiu's words were not shocking, and Sean suddenly lost the desire to wear it.

At this time, there were suddenly several neighing sounds of horses outside the window.

Chen Jianqiu looked down through the window.

"Someone else is coming."
