As we got closer, the outline of the inn became more and more obvious. We saw that all the houses were surrounded by high walls, and the few lanterns hanging at the gate were particularly eye-catching.
"We're here." After a while, the convoy finally stopped in front of the gate. After putting down the ropes on their shoulders, everyone couldn't stop breathing heavily, and everyone looked tired but with a hint of joy.
When the gatekeeper opened the door, because it was still dark, after passing the door, everyone saw only rows of quiet houses without any pedestrians. Then under the guidance of the gatekeeper, the motorcade officially drove into the inn.
"How many people, how many animals, how much goods?" As soon as he entered, the gatekeeper asked everyone three questions in a row, his tone was very impatient, as if he was angry that everyone was disturbing his rest.
"Fifty-one people, four livestock, three carts of goods." What surprised Lu Yunyou was that despite the man's bad attitude, Hong Ying answered his question very kindly and was not dissatisfied at all because of his attitude.
"Come with me!" Nodding, the guard then asked: "How many guest rooms and warehouses do you want to book?"
"Ten guest rooms, two warehouses," Hong Ying had already made arrangements on the way, and Hong Ying answered the other party directly.
"Okay, someone come with me and register," the tone was still so arrogant. The man in pajamas continued to lead everyone inside. It wasn't until the other two sleepy-eyed inn guys came over to help that he took Hong Ying alone. Register in the past.
The man who left side by side with Hong Ying was not tall. If he only looked at the man's arrogant demeanor, Lu Yunyou would have thought that the man was a high-level martial arts cultivator. But in fact, whether it was the man who left with Hong Ying or the one who had just arrived. The two inn guys are only third-level martial arts cultivators.
A third-level martial artist dared to be so disrespectful to a sixth-level martial artist. After thinking for a long time, the only reason Lu Yunyou could think of was that their identities were unusual.
In fact, the fact that this inn can stand safely among various cities and there is no village shop within a radius of dozens of miles is enough to show that the inn itself has a strong background.
For a long time, many people have speculated on the identity of the owner behind the inn. Some people think that the inn was founded by a big force. Some people think that the inn was founded by a bandit organization like the Wild Wolf Legion. Of course, no matter which possibility it is, The people in the inn all have their arrogant capital.
Even as ordinary guys, they don't need to be polite to Hong Ying and others. Only the leaders of some large escort agencies can make them take the initiative to lower their posture.
Putting aside these things, under the guidance of the two guys, several mammoths and the goods were locked in a specific warehouse. Next, everyone no longer had to worry about the safety of the goods, because goods rarely happened in the inn. It was stolen, not to mention that their goods were not valuable.
After placing the goods, everyone happened to meet up with Hong Ying who went to pay the money, and Hong Ying arranged accommodation for everyone as soon as he came back.
Lu Yunyou and Fang Ting were assigned to a small guest room, but although the room was small and there were few people living in it, Fang Ting and the others were more happy to live here than in guest rooms that could accommodate seven or eight people.
Before the rain stopped, this room was where they stayed. The layout in the room was very simple, with two beds, a table and a few chairs, and the rest were ordinary daily necessities.
After looking around, the four of them took off their wet clothes and waited for the waiter at the inn to bring them hot water. They couldn't wait to wash themselves one by one, just to wash away the dust along the way.
In fact, after living in the open air for many days, Lu Yunyou was almost used to the life without a fixed place. Of course, staying in the guest room now, even though it was crowded, he still felt much better than staying outside.
After taking a bath, Lu Yunyou changed into a large piece of clothing given to him by Fang Ting. Lu Yunyou lay down on one of the beds to rest without saying a word. Before even saying a few words to a few people, he felt heavy due to fatigue and the softness of the bed. Go to sleep.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunyou fell asleep so quickly. After hearing Lu Yunyou's snoring, Zhang Yuan and the others stopped talking after chatting for a while. Before dawn, the four of them fell asleep one after another.
Six or seven hours later, Lu Yunyou finally woke up. Turning around slightly, he vaguely saw several people sitting around the table in the room eating.
After seeing the faces of Fang Ting and others clearly, Lu Yunyou stood up directly, looked past the three of them and looked out the window. It was dark, with only the sound of rain falling non-stop. It sounded like it was still raining outside.
Slowly retracting his gaze, Lu Yunyou noticed that several candles lit in the room kept flickering. It seemed that it was already late. He remembered that it was still dark when he first fell asleep, but now it was dark. To his surprise, he No sleepiness at all.
"Yunyou, you're awake, come here and have something to eat," Fang Ting, who was drinking, accidentally noticed Lu Yunyou getting up and greeted him immediately.
"Okay," on the other side, after agreeing, Lu Yunyou got off the bed directly. He hadn't eaten anything for a day and a night. After smelling the aroma of the food, he couldn't wait.
When he got to the table, he saw that the plates of cooked meat on top were particularly eye-catching. He drooled at the sight. Without Fang Ting and the others reminding him, he directly found an empty seat and sat down. Then he picked up a piece of cooked meat and chewed it hungrily. He eats as if he hasn't eaten in several days.
"Yunyou, would you like some wine to cheer you up?" Fang Ting, who was busy pouring wine for himself, asked kindly again, fearing that Lu Yunyou would eat too quickly and choke.
"Wine?" Lu Yunyou muttered, stopped what he was doing, and then looked at the wine jar in Fang Ting's hand. He remembered that on the way to the inn, no one in the team drank. He thought that Fang Ting and the others didn't like drinking. Now After seeing the wine, he didn't understand, so Lu Yunyou asked the three of them directly: "Don't you usually drink?"
"Brother has clearly stipulated that no one can drink during the mission, but now we are in the inn, and it is raining so hard outside. It will take a long time before the convoy can set off. Don't worry about drinking and getting in trouble," Zhang Yuan explained generously. He quickly grabbed the wine jar and filled himself a bowl.
"Yeah, I've been craving for it for a while now," Fang Ting nodded and said unabashedly: "Actually, Lao Zhang and I have long been looking forward to going to the inn to rest."
"That's it," Fang Ting's heartfelt confession made Lu Yunyou understand what was going on when they were drinking. After lamenting the difficulty of traveling around the world, he also picked up the wine jar and filled a large bowl of wine for himself.
"Come on," after greeting the three of them, Lu Yunyou drank all the wine in the bowl.
"Refreshing," he didn't expect Lu Yunyou to drink in such a bold manner. Fang Ting praised him on the spot, but after picking up the bowl in front of him, he and Zhang Yuan just took a sip.
"Why don't you drink more?" Seeing that the wine in the bowls of the three of them was not empty, Lu Yunyou immediately asked with a puzzled look: "Don't you think the wine tastes bad?"
"Of course not," Fang Ting shook his head and explained directly: "It takes so many days to drink once, so of course you have to drink it slowly."
"So that's it, then I'll drink slower," seeing that Fang Ting was reasonable, Lu Yunyou directly focused on the food in front of him.
"I wonder when this rain is going to start?!" Zhang Yuan turned his head and suddenly glanced out the window, and then his eyes became a little more worried.
"Old Zhang, we have to wait until the road outside can be driven before we can set off. Why do you care so much?" The person who answered the call was Fang Ting. In his opinion, Zhang Yuan's behavior was completely asking for trouble.
"If it doesn't stop raining tonight, we will have to wait for two or three more days. We will be spending a lot of time in the inn. How can we afford the daily food and drink expenses?" Zhang Yuan sighed, why didn't he want to rest for a few more days? , but this is not a place to stay for a long time.
"Today, my eldest brother has sold the remaining snow wolf carcasses to the inn. On average, one can be sold for 20 spiritual stones. Twenty wolves are equivalent to 400 spiritual stones, which is enough for us to live here for a few days."
"Having said that, those spiritual stones should have been distributed to the families of the dead brothers. If we spend them all here, what will we give to their relatives when we go back?" Knowing what Fang Ting said, Zhang Yuan didn't want this.
"This mission is not as simple as you think. It's not certain whether you can go back. What's the use of worrying so much?"
…
While Lu Yunyou was eating in silence, Fang Ting and Zhang Yuan kept talking about things in the team one after another. Since they didn't understand many things they said, Lu Yunyou couldn't get a word in at all.
"Yunyou, drink less. We will take you to the pub later to have a good time." After the conversation was almost over, Fang Ting reminded him directly when he saw that Lu Yunyou was still eating quietly.
That extremely obscene voice suddenly reached his ears, and Lu Yunyou, who was already slightly drunk, was suddenly shaken, and then looked at Fang Ting with a puzzled face. Just now, he heard them say that they had no money, and now Fang Ting said that he wanted to go to the tavern. It became increasingly difficult to understand Fang Ting's situation.
