Chapter 18 Rich is the master
The group took advantage of the night to travel into the suburbs of the city, during which Yui and Qin Yao were slow to take care of the old woman and delayed their journey.
Jian Shizang was worried that he would sleep on the streets if he marched like this, so he volunteered to carry the old man on his back, and then found an inn before it was late at night.
The inn here is very simple, and the guy in the shop picks up a dim oil lamp and is burying his head in the accounts.
He pinched a few copper plates in his hand and counted them back and forth, with a sad face, and said to himself, "I can't live this day, how can I live by earning so much money every day, come and have a few guests." β
As he was muttering, he saw a handsome young man push the door open, followed by two women and a man, an old man and a child.
"God really appreciates faces, you can come whatever you want. This luck, I will have to bet on both high and low tomorrow. β
He picked up the oil lamp and ran over, nodding and smiling.
"Do you want to be a guest or stay in a hotel? There are still a few upper rooms on the second floor that can be cleaned. β
As he spoke, he consciously or unconsciously covered his oil-stained coarse linen apron, for fear that everyone would see that he was filthy.
How could this move escape Yui's eyes? Seeing him covered in dirt and dust, his hair was covered in dust, as if he hadn't taken a shower in years.
It's late autumn now, but the guy is still wearing a patched coarse cloth shirt, and he doesn't think it's rich to come to this store.
Yui glanced at him and said, "Go to the room, how clean can the room be with your appearance?"
The man saw that everyone was dressed in tatters, but the woman who spoke was full of silk and wealth, and immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he smiled extremely embarrassedly and said it in a smug manner.
"Guirenle, you don't know. If I were dressed like you, the house would definitely not be clean, don't you say?"
Qin Yao saw that the clothes on his body were very shabby, and he couldn't tell the original color, but he was a poor man, and whispered in Yui's ear: "We haven't met an inn after walking for so long." It's getting late, so let's stay. Otherwise, we'll be sleeping on the streets......"
Kojiro and Sun Sheng don't care, one of them lives in the deep mountains and dense forests, the other often sleeps in the wilderness, and a place to block the wind is enough, even if it is a haunted ruined temple, they are very happy.
Jian Shizang complained again and again, "Sister-in-law, I have been carrying the old lady for so long, and my legs are already tired and sore." Don't be disgusted, you can stay here. β
Yui listened to Jian Shizang call her sister-in-law, and her heart was sweet. But after all, she is a yellow flower girl, which Rong Jian Shizang screamed so confusedly, pretending to be angry and said: "Who is your sister-in-law, be careful if you say nonsense, I cut your tongue!"
Jian Shizang saw that the corners of her mouth were very smiling, her face was full of sweetness, and she didn't say much in her heart.
Yui Boss was reluctant, and asked the guy, "How much does it cost to stay in your store for one night?"
The man looked at everyone carefully, "Look at their formation, it should be the young lady of the rich and noble family who is going out with the servants." My little shop hasn't opened for months, and now I see customers coming, how can I let it go?
He estimated Yui's financial resources and replied tentatively, "Or five taels a night?"
It is said that there is no treachery and no business, and he dares to ask for this price, and Kojiro's and others feel that it is not worth it, so they all have the idea of retreating.
Unexpectedly, Yui casually took out fifty taels of silver from her baggage, and said arrogantly: "Hurry up and pack up the five upper rooms, and you can prepare a table of good wine and food for us for the rest, and then give us a bucket of bath water each." β
Fifty taels of silver can buy a family's rations for several years, and the man has never seen such a generous person, so he was shocked, and he couldn't hold the oil lamp in his hand, and fell to the ground with a "pop".
Kojiro felt pain when he saw Yui's attack so arrogant, and whispered to Yui: "Why are you giving him so much? Fifty taels of silver, enough for me to get drunk and dream to death how many times, you can't fight with him?"
"Fifty taels is more? Aren't you tired? Shouldn't we hurry up and rest? Anyway, you don't have to pay for the money. Yui gave him a blank look and ignored him.
Kojiro was choked by her on the spot, and he didn't know what to say, so he said, "Help me get more wine." β
The man was stunned for a long time with the heavy silver in his hand, until the oil lamp burned to his toes.
He hurriedly picked up the oil lamp, smiled happily, and splattered saliva in his mouth.
"You are really my great nobleman, and the villain will take care of you. Come on, come with me, upstairs, please. β
Everyone followed the men upstairs, the staircase was old and no one had repaired it, and the people who stepped on it squeaked and screamed, and every time they screamed, they raised a burst of dust, and the people who choked on the dust and musty smell couldn't stop coughing.
The man turned a deaf ear, jumped up and down, and walked up happily.
Yui couldn't help but scolded: "What the hell is this staircase, can't you change it to a better one?"
"Noble man, it would be nice to have a staircase. If you look at other inns, there are only a few dilapidated thatched huts. I'm here, but it's a good wooden house, that is, it's just a little more gray. β
"You're in a good cabin, I'll be able to knock down the stairs with some effort." β
The guy knew that he was blowing nonsense, and he laughed awkwardly a few times and continued to walk up.
However, Sun Sheng looked down on Yui's pampered energy, and teased: "It's definitely not as good as Xiandou Town, if you want to sleep comfortably, go back, ugly people are weird." β
Yui was already annoyed by the inn, and when she heard Sun Shengyi's temper come up, she also felt that she was hypocritical, and swallowed the words back to her mouth.
Everyone cautiously ascended the stairs and finally reached the second floor. The man tore open a few cobwebs in succession and led everyone into the room.
The room was so dark that it was hard to see with just an oil lamp, and Kojiro had just pulled out the fire and lit it when he heard a very piercing scream.
The voice...... It's Yui, is this a black shop? Damn, who dares to chase here. "Pick up the 'ghost blade' and run to the closet.
As soon as they pushed the door, they met Qin Yao and Jian Shizang, and they also heard Yui's cry, so they went out of the house one after another to take a look.
Except for Sun Sheng, who needed to heal the old woman in the room, the other three all rushed out, leaking the water around Yui's originally narrow door.
But I saw Yui pulling a dirty quilt and huddled in the corner of the wall shivering. Kojiro looked around through the dim oil lamp, but found nothing.
Kojiro drew his sword out of its sheath and asked, "Yui, is someone plotting against you?"
Yui was still shrunk there, her upper and lower teeth squeaking, how could she reply to his words?
Kojiro shouted again: "What kind of person?! Hurry up and show up, or I'll slash you with a sword!"
He shouted so loudly that the echo was heard a few times back and forth in the empty hallway.
With Kojiro's cultivation, if someone had found out a long time ago, he shouted several times in a row and it was still like this.
Just when she was puzzled, Yui suddenly cried out with a "wow" and shouted aggrievedly, "There are mice." β
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, they really didn't expect that Yui Inoue, who was in charge of Xiandou Town, would be scared like this by a mere rat.
Jian Shizang sighed and said, "It's good that Sun Sheng is not here, otherwise he would have laughed at you again." β
Qin Yao gently walked to Yui's side and said to the two, "I'll accompany Yui tonight, you go back to your room and sleep." β
Yui cast a grateful look at Qin Yao, and said while crying, "Okay Yao'er, I usually don't hurt you in vain." Then he closed the door and slept with Qin Yao on the same bed.
The two slept very uncomfortably that night, neither eating nor bathing, and as soon as dawn broke the next day, Yui pushed Qin Yao to wake up and call everyone.
Kojiro rubbed his eyes sleepily and asked, "Yui, what kind of nerves do you have, what time is this, I haven't slept enough......"
"Sleep, sleep, you know sleep, what kind of place can you sleep in this old lady can't sleep, hurry up!"
Kojiro saw that Qin Yao had two dark circles under his eyes, his face was full of anger and he didn't dare to have any more objections, so he muttered casually and went to call Ji Shizang.
Qin Yao didn't make a sound when he saw that he was scolded by Yui, silently scalded a handkerchief with hot water and handed it to Kojiro, and said softly: "Childe, wipe your face, slowly let's go on the road." β
Kojiro took the handkerchief and wiped it off his face, only to feel that the handkerchief smelled very good, and saw Qin Yao's eyes with autumn waves and tenderness, the haze in his heart was swept away, and he replied loudly: "Okay!"
Immediately, the four of them went to find Sun Sheng together, and as soon as they pushed the door, they saw Sun Sheng boxing energetically, and sighed in his heart, "Such a talent is still diligent, and he will definitely be a dragon and phoenix among people in the future!"
Kojiro saw that his boxing method was as light and free as he was, and that he was much more clever than yesterday's boxing method against the two gods, so he immediately asked, "Just one night, your martial arts have improved again?!"
Sun Sheng had heard them talk a long time ago, and he had been lucky for two weeks after punching.
"Big brother, don't praise me, yesterday you had no internal strength, and you only used your sword moves to fight against people for so long, which opened my eyes. β
Yesterday's incident Kojiro has always been worried in his heart, he is both proud and strong, and he can't help but feel jealous when he sees Sun Sheng so miraculous.
But just when he heard Sun Shengqing praise himself sincerely, he felt a lot of gratitude in his heart.
The two emotions were intertwined, and I couldn't help myself for a while, so I was stunned for a long time before I said: "If we have a chance, we can learn from each other, and we can complement each other." β
"Okay, big brother, I'll teach you my boxing method too......"
Yui was afraid that the two of them would not finish talking, so she interjected: "Okay, okay, one of you two is a dragon among people, and the other is a genius boy, don't blow each other, okay, let's go quickly." β
The two of them were red by what she said, and they heard her say again: "Sun Sheng, how is the old lady's injury, may she walk?"
Sun Sheng was annoyed that she teased herself, and glanced at her and didn't want to pay attention to her.
Yui was not bothered, and looked out, but saw that the old woman was still sleeping soundly on the bed, her hands and legs were wrapped in bandages, and it seemed that she was seriously injured.
She thought for a moment, sighed lightly and said, "Why don't we stay here for a few more days?"
It is said that the last thing she wants to stay here at the moment is Yui, she saw that the old woman was seriously injured and wanted to stay a few more days to treat her, so self-sacrificing herself is really admirable.
Only then did Sun Sheng say politely: "Okay, eldest sister." The old lady's injuries have been cured, and she can recover after lying down for a few days, and it's not like we can't go. β
"Big sister?!Little doll, when did you become so polite, call my sister again. Yui hadn't seen him respect him so much since she had known Sun Sheng, and she couldn't help but tease him when she was flattered.
Sun Sheng couldn't eat this set, and he blushed and shouted very arrogantly: "Fat aunt." β
If she was usually Yui, she would definitely raise a few mouths for his fat aunt, but she had just been boasted by Sun Sheng, so she responded and said, "En~." β
However, this sentence scared Ji Shizang enough, and whispered close to Kojiro's ear: "I don't know if 'Fat Auntie' took the wrong medicine today, we have to be careful." β
Ji Shizang thought that his voice was very small, but in fact, the voice squeezed out of his throat, and it was very loud.
Yui only heard a shrill voice in her ears, turned around and glared, and suddenly frightened him.
He lowered his head, rubbed his hands, and generally did not dare to make eye contact with Yui when he confessed his mistake.
Qin Yao saw his embarrassment, smiled and said to Yui: "'Mom', let's go, I don't know if the guys in the store have made us breakfast." β
She didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she talked about the guy, Yui got angry and scolded: "Dead guy, you come out for me!"
Yui scolded left and right where to find the trace of the guy, Kojiro was used to seeing such people when he went down the mountain, "The guy estimated that he took the money last night and ran away, and he will definitely not find it today." β
"What?!He's gone, is that how he does business?"
"Uh...... People like him, when they get so much money, they either go to gamble, or they go to the singer to have fun, who cares about us. β
Yui pinched her waist and panted with anger, "He's not afraid that I'll burn down his broken shop!"
"What are you afraid of, you give him fifty taels of silver, enough to buy a few back and forth in this shop. β
Everyone rolled their eyes in anger as they watched Yui cover their mouths and laugh.
They were so noisy that they woke up the old woman.
Sun Shengmiao's hand was a holy doctor, and after a night of healing, the old woman was all comfortable, sat up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you, the old woman has nothing to repay, please accept my worship." β
Saying that, he was about to kneel down on the bed, where could Kojiro and the others stand such a big gift from her, and he and Jian Shizang flashed out to help the old man and said: "Old lady, hoeing the strong and helping the weak is what we should do, we really can't afford this gift, you still don't want to thank you." β
The old woman's cloudy eyes contained tears, and she looked at the faces of the people one by one, remembering these faces in her heart.
She had a miserable life, and although she had a husband and a son, she went to war, and she was alone in charge of everything inside and outside the house, until she ended up in this field.
Not only her, but the ordinary people in the troubled times, which one is not so miserable? The people themselves are still without food and clothing, how can they have the leisure to take care of others?
Even if you meet extremely poor people, you just sigh and turn a blind eye, even if your conscience is difficult in the future, you can only blame the world for being impermanent and the world is bleak.
She remembered everyone's faces one by one, thinking that one day she would have to repay them even if she was broken.
Yui took out a handkerchief to wipe the old woman's face, took out the dry food and water she had with her, and fed the old woman to eat, and then asked Ji Shizo to carry the old woman out of the house and go all the way to the bustling place of Kyoto.
On this day, the sky is clear, the wind is shining, and the occasional breeze blows to make people more comfortable. Before I knew it, I was in the middle of the city.
Kojiro saw a rouge stand from a distance, and a skinny boss sat there alone, neither shouting nor soliciting, but straightened out and sat down.
There are two identical stout men in short shirts from afar, always paying attention to the movement in front of the stall.
Kojiro pointed at the boss and said, "Qin Yao, do you remember that person?" β
Qin Yao put his palm on his eyebrows to block the sunlight and took a closer look, then turned around and said, "This person ...... Isn't this the profiteer you're playing?"
"Yes, yes, we first met that night, and I just tricked this profiteer to show you how I can exchange money to buy wine. It's so far from Xiandou Town, why did they come here to cheat again? β
"What? You're going to borrow some money from them to buy wine?"
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as Kojiro said that he was drunk, he came up and said, "Go buy a bar, I haven't drunk it for a while." β
This drunkard nature, Kojiro estimated that he would not be able to change it in this life, Yui glanced at him helplessly and said: "Don't think about drinking, didn't the people of the Abe family say that you are like asking for food, I will buy a decent dress for each of you, so I will go to Abe's house to support the faΓ§ade." β
It is a woman's nature to love beauty, Qin Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, good, 'Mom' is willing to pay, let's not miss this opportunity." β
"What is the name of 'Mom', this is not Xiandou Town, you can call me Yui, so as not to give birth. β
"Yes, Yui-sama. Hee-hee, come on, don't hurry up if you have beautiful clothes to wear. The two women walked around, so unhappy, and even if the three of Kojiro did a lot of effort, they couldn't catch up.
Kojiro wondered in his heart, "When did they become so good?" β
The two of them walked around the entire market, but still did not find the clothes they wanted, and the three men were tired and gasping and screaming, "Don't go, if you go again, your leg will be broken." β
Jian Shizang said: "I have never been so tired when I followed my eldest brother to hurry up at night, are these two women beaten with chicken blood?"
Yui didn't care what they said, she just cared about her own happiness, and said to Qin Yao: "Yao'er, I've visited all the shops here, which one do you think is good." β
Qin Yao rolled her eyes and thought about it carefully, and said, "I think it's better to go back to the original store, should we go back?"
When the three of them heard this, they were immediately frightened, "Do you want to go back?" β
Yui glared at them, and pointed at the three of them respectively: "The money is here, you want to buy wine, you want to rest, you want to buy medicinal herbs." If you don't leave, you can take the money yourself!"
The three men were cleaner than their faces, and when they heard her threat, they all stood up, "Go!
