"Why are you so scared? Get on the boat quickly. Have you never even been on a boat?" Bei Xiaolu had already jumped onto a boat and shouted to Wei Jing.
There was also a small handcuff on her left wrist, which was wrapped in a silk scarf. When she shook it, the iron chains would make a rattling sound. Bei Xiaolu's expression changed, and he quickly put down his hand. He must have hated these handcuffs very much. When Wei Jing got on the boat, he shook the boat hard, trying to scare him so he could make fun of him.
"The little thief still dares to shout loudly, and he is not afraid of people laughing." Wei Jing had never been on a boat before, so he was afraid. When he got on the boat, he asked Bei Xiaolu to rock the boat to scare him, but he pretended to be fine and even made sarcastic remarks.
The boatman paddled the water, and the boat gradually moved away from the river bank. The sky turned dark. Looking up from the Tongtian River, the sky turned from yellow to black and purple, and stars popped up brightly. It was another story. Stunning scenery.
After a long time, the boat finally reached the other side of the river. The two got off the boat and looked north. They still saw gorgeous buildings in the distance. After sunset, the lights were all lit up, as if it was not night;
In comparison, the south bank is not so prosperous, and the buildings are obviously much lower. They are replaced by more residential houses and old markets.
The two walked through several streets. It was already getting late and most of the shops around were closed. Bei Xiaolu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He asked a few passers-by for directions and led Wei Jing to turn left and right. In the old alleys.
I saw a lantern hanging outside the door of a three-story house at the end of the narrow alley, and a signboard - "Bawang Inn".
Wei Jing felt strange and asked: "There are some clean inns on the street outside. Why do you have to take a detour to come here? Is the Bawang Inn more unusual?"
"I've never seen a poor kid in the market just be a follower. Don't ask around. Only connoisseurs know the secrets of the Bawang Inn on Huala Street. You can see it later." Bei Xiaolu chuckled. Smiling.
Wei Jing and Bei Xiaolu bickered a lot along the way, and Bei Xiaolu started calling him "bumpkin, poor boy, wild monkey." Wei Jing got used to it, and his reaction was not as big as before; in fact, he reacted The sarcastic words were also inaudible, mostly "mean girl, stinky little thief, she-monkey" and so on.
"Is this your destination?" Wei Jing asked casually. He was so hungry that he was no longer interested in arguing with Bei Xiaolu.
Bei Xiaolu shook his head and said, "This is just my place to stay tonight, girl. Sheshou Village is still some distance away from here."
The two of them walked towards the Bawang Inn, and heard the noise coming from the inn in the distance.
The two of them entered the inn. Wei Jing looked around and saw that the interior of the inn was very spacious. There were about a dozen tables arranged in a mess. The twenty or so guests were mostly men with bare chests and backs. Most of them were drunk and flushed, punching and punching. People were drinking together, and some were even asking the waiter for a bowl to roll the dice with.
The waiter squinted his eyes, as if he was used to seeing these scenes. Without saying a word, he picked up a dirty bowl and threw it away. The men then started shouting and gambling.
Wei Jing lost miserably at Lai Laifu, and now he saw people gambling again. He couldn't help but feel disgusted, but he was also curious and wanted to go up and have a look. He didn't know if he could find out some tricks. He remembered that Bei Xiaolu was there. The huge pile of gold that Lai Laifu won at the table, if he had saved some money, could have allowed him and his son to live in Xiaoyuan Village for many years.
"Well, if I get that big pile of gold, I will buy all the best steel in Lake City, and then buy a big shop..." Wei Jing murmured to himself, then shook his head, thinking to himself As long as Bei Xiaolu kept his word and won back the money he lost for him, he would be satisfied.
Although Bei Xiaolu and Wei Jing looked out of place with the other customers in the store, the waiter only looked at them twice and quickly led them to a corner table, not minding that Wei Jing also brought a dog in.
Wei Jing sat down curiously, wanting to see what was so new and weird about this inn, but Bei Xiaolu frowned and wiped the dirty chair hard with his handkerchief.
The waiter poured two cups of tea and put them on the table. Bei Xiaolu took out five silver coins and paid them to him. The waiter raised his eyebrows and said, "We only have enough money for one person. Which one of you wants to eat the King's meal?"
Bei Xiaolu smiled and replied: "I pay my own money, you ask the one who didn't pay."
When the waiter heard this, he immediately looked at Wei Jing. Wei Jing made a sound, waved his hands, and explained: "I don't want to eat the Overlord meal. How much does a bowl of white rice cost here?"
"He's a country bumpkin who doesn't understand any rules. Please explain it to him." Bei Xiaolu said teasingly.
The waiter didn't look down on Wei Jing. Instead, he scratched his head, cleared his throat and said, "This place is called the 'Bawang Inn'. Most of the people who come here are regular customers. They know the rules. Everyone pays five silver coins. There are a lot of people that night." They serve whatever food and wine they want, and you don’t have to choose. If you’re not full, you can even eat white steamed buns. Since it’s called “Bawang Inn”, you don’t have to worry about people eating Bawang’s meal. If you want something to eat, you can just go up there and take a walk later. ”
Wei Jing heard the waiter say the name "Bawang Inn" one after another. He felt as if he had heard it somewhere before, but couldn't remember it for a moment. He looked in the direction pointed by the waiter. He saw several tables in the center of the store and the guests on the seats. There was nothing strange, just minding his own business, eating and drinking wine and food.
"Take a spin there? So you can have a free meal?" Wei Jing asked in surprise.
"The meaning of a round trip is..." The waiter was about to explain, but Bei Xiaolu immediately waved his hand and said: "I don't want it anymore, a bumpkin from the country, what kind of courage does he have? Look at him, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants, what kind of courage does he have? Are you going to eat Bawang meal at Bawang Inn?"
The waiter pursed his lips and looked a little displeased: "How about country kids? I used to come from the country."
"Yeah! Don't country kids have the guts? Just eat, what am I afraid of?" Wei Jing was annoyed that Bei Xiaolu was mocking him in front of others, so he slammed the table and said loudly.
"Okay." The waiter didn't say much, then turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, someone is here to eat the King's meal!"
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the big men on the dozens of tables turned to look at Wei Jing. For a moment, Wei Jing was suddenly at a loss and shouted to the waiter: "Wait, wait, you didn't mean to go around in a circle." , I’m not here to eat and drink for free!”
"I'll let you go up right away..." Before the waiter finished speaking, the men at the central tables made a fuss. They all stood up in a hurry, moved all the food and drinks on the table to other tables, and pulled and pushed them. , pulling several large tables.
Wei Jing listened to the loud noise when the table was being pulled, and realized that the tops of these large wooden tables were as thick as a palm, and the legs were as thick as thighs. They were actually tables made of towering wood.
"I haven't asked yet, do you want to go up after eating, or come down to eat?" The waiter touched his nose and squinted at Wei Jing.
"Is there any difference?" Wei Jing was stunned and turned to look at Bei Xiaolu. When he saw her malicious smile, he shuddered in his heart, knowing that it would not be so easy for him to go up and down the table easily. , then replied: "I'm so hungry. Let's go up after eating! Get some more white steamed buns for me."
When Wei Jing said this, the men around him shouted: "It's really troublesome, go home and drink milk!" "The seats have been moved out for you, little brother!" Some people also made different voices: "Let him go home and drink milk!" Eat, the fuller you eat, the better you will look later, haha!"
Wei Jing suppressed his uneasiness, sat back down, and stared at Bei Xiaolu. The waiter quickly served the food and wine for two people on the table, which was quite sumptuous. Wei Jing ate quietly, deliberately eating slowly, trying to adapt to changes.
At this time, the noise of those men became even louder, they were shouting and pushing each other: "Okay, okay, the place is cleared, let's start quickly, the shopkeeper comes out to make a deal!", "I can't wait any longer, I’ll come, I’ll come!”
Among those men, I saw a bald man who was so drunk that he staggered up to the table, jumped twice on the table, and shouted: "Everyone, brother, I am the favorite tonight, bet on me as much as you like." Come on, I guarantee you will win money."
The man below immediately shouted: "Come down, bald man, you are so drunk that you can't even stand, stop bragging!" Some people disagreed: "Who said that, among the brothers in Bawang Inn, which one doesn't drink? Which one can't drink? Beaten? The drunker you get, the harder it gets!"
