Qi Zhen chose the four innermost rooms on the second floor, leaving the innermost rooms to Jiang Yan and Meng Ran.
The outermost room was left to him alone at Li San's rare and strong request.
Yu Liang and Lin Xiao live in one room, and Li Qiang and Qizhen live in one room.
After everyone settled down, they came to the lobby to prepare for dinner.
The waiter has already arranged the table in advance so that everyone can sit together easily.
In addition to the waiter, there was a middle-aged man behind the counter who looked like the shopkeeper, but he seemed to have been keeping his head down to settle accounts. The arrival of Qi Zhen and his party only made him glance up.
The waiter's hands and feet are extremely nimble. From setting the table to wiping the table, from holding the cup to pouring water, it can be said that he does it in one go and smoothly.
Qi Zhen and others did not wait for the waiter to name the dishes and take the trouble to order. Instead, they told him that just look at them and eat well. Just keep it simple when you are away from home.
The waiter likes this kind of customer. He looks like he has a lot of money. Look, he doesn't even ask about the price.
The final dish that was served did not disappoint. It was cold and hot, with chicken, duck, fish, river and fresh seasonal vegetables.
Just as everyone was about to start eating, a woman suddenly appeared at the door of the inn.
The woman's face looked like she was in her mid-twenties, but her body was already swollen, and she looked like a bud, which made me feel pity for her.
She was wearing a pale pink skirt, and she exuded a fresh atmosphere. Her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders, especially her charming eyebrows. Her eyes seemed to be full of expectation and desire.
"Hello, sir, do you want to say something or..." When the waiter saw a guest coming in, he naturally opened his mouth to welcome him subconsciously. As a result, he saw that charming face in the middle of the sentence. What he wanted to say seemed to be suddenly heard by someone. It stopped abruptly, as if he was pinching his neck.
"You...you..." you said twice, the waiter's eyes were straight, as if his soul had been taken away.
Qi Zhen communicated with her mind and coughed quickly in the heart of Lin Xiao, who was also stunned.
Lin Xiao was confused for a while and asked Qi Zhen, "You called me?"
"Eat." Li Qiang said lightly.
Everyone no longer noticed the woman who appeared at the door and began to eat with their heads down.
"Hello, little brother, I want to stay in the hotel." The woman said timidly.
"Second Brother?" Seeing the Second Brother staring at her without speaking, the woman asked again in confusion.
"Ah? Ah! Stay at the hotel, please stay inside the hotel." The waiter experienced a moment of panic, his face was already red, and he hurriedly said.
"This is the deposit." The woman took out a small piece of silver from her purse and handed it to the waiter.
The woman's hands are extremely white and delicate, as small and cute as the silver in her hands.
Her nails scratched Xiao Er's palm, but it made Xiao Er's heart tremble.
"Second Brother, could you please bring the food to my room? Thank you." After handing over the money, the woman smiled at the waiter. This smile was short-lived, but it was alluring.
There were only five rooms on the second floor, and the waiter in the last one was assigned to this woman.
With the soft footsteps and the sound of the door closing, the room became quiet again.
As the woman went upstairs, she glanced lightly in the direction of Qi Zhen and the others, her eyes full of curiosity.
Although Qi Zhen had been lowering her head to eat, her attention was actually always there. At this time, she said softly: "This is about to come to life."
"Can't we just let people live in peace for two days?" Jiang Yan was a little unhappy.
Taking a closer look at the time the team came to the game, except for a wedding held with the Mulberry clan that night, everyone seemed to have no peaceful days. Every day they were either solving problems or on the way to solving them.
"After all, we are not here for sightseeing. The system will naturally create all the tasks for us that block our progress." Qi Zhen replied.
The progress here is not only about the road, but also about the plot. In short, we just don’t let the team get through it easily.
It was getting dark, and two people appeared at the door of the inn again.
The two guests who arrived were both men. They looked like two businessmen on the road. They were dusty and had obviously traveled a long distance.
Hearing the conversation between them and the waiter, Qi Zhen and others vaguely guessed that they were coming from the east and seemed to be heading towards Wuhu, which was the same route as the team.
The two of them had prepared carriages and horses, and there were a lot of goods on the carriages. After asking the waiter to help arrange them, they sat directly in the lobby and occupied a table.
The two asked for wine and meat, and soon started drinking by themselves, but they drank quietly and chatted from time to time.
The rooms upstairs were fully booked, and of the three rooms downstairs, the middle one was given to the two of them.
Half an hour later, this small inn welcomed its last guest.
The last person to come was a handsome young man, wearing a long white gown and holding a folding fan in his hand. The most distinctive features were his eyebrows and nose.
His eyebrows are like two flying swords, which can be said to be a pair of sword eyebrows that go straight into his temples. His nose is extremely high and the wings of his nose are very narrow. From the perspective of another world, this is a standard aquiline nose. .
This makes him look a bit sinister, but this appearance does not make people feel ugly, but is particularly heroic.
The temperament shown by the appearance of Mr. Wensheng is not that of a graceful scholar, but more like that of a dandy rich man.
After he entered the inn, his eyes showed an unbearable contempt and disgust for everything around him.
He threw a piece of silver that looked like five taels to the waiter and said calmly: "Stay in the hotel."
The waiter didn't dare to neglect and quickly pointed out the innermost room on the first floor to him.
"Is there no room upstairs?" The man in white said in a cold voice.
The waiter said sorry to the young man, but there were already people in other rooms.
The man in white didn't say anything more, but it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied.
He walked towards his room and glanced at Qi Zhen's group as he passed by their table, just like a god looking at a mortal, his face expressionless but as cold as ice.
This appearance of not being near strangers made the waiter stop trying to be attentive and ask if he wanted to eat.
If you want to eat, just call me.
It’s just that it’s really weird today. In the past, this inn was barely able to survive by relying on regular patrons. Why are there so many rude guests today, and each one is more generous than the last one? Could it be God? Have you opened your eyes today?
The waiter was thinking in his heart, and wanted to ask the shopkeeper if there was anything big happening around these days, but the shopkeeper pushed back with a soft knife.
"You can ask those guests yourself."
The shopkeeper looks to be in his thirties, and he is unremarkable. Even if you put him among the three people, you might not be able to recognize him at a glance. In short, he is an ordinary mess.
The most important thing is that the shopkeeper is extremely taciturn, and it is almost difficult to express his presence in any situation.
According to what the waiter said, you, the shopkeeper, should have given me a salary increase long ago. Look at the current store. Isn’t it all supported by me?
The shopkeeper always talks about it, but doesn't take any actual action.
Hi! If it weren't for the fact that I can make almost all the decisions in the store, big or small, and the shopkeeper hardly cares about anything, I really wouldn't serve him, so I'd just have to endure it.
"What should I do?" Yu Liang asked at this time as he was really absent-minded about eating.
"What should we do? Let nature take its course and adapt to circumstances." Qi Zhen said calmly.
No one drank, and the meal quickly came to an end.
They each went back to their rooms to rest, leaving only two businessmen still eating and drinking downstairs. It didn't look like this situation would end anytime soon.
After returning to the room, Li Qiang said to Qi Zhen straight to the point: "I'm a little uneasy."
She has seen Li Qiang's domineering attitude and his calmness in situations. This is the first time Qi Zhen has heard such words from him.
Qi Zhen didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Has this happened before?"
Li Qiang nodded.
"What's the result?" Qi Zhen asked again.
"Several people died." Li Qiang's face was as dark as water and his brows were furrowed.
Qi Zhen patted Li Qiang on the shoulder: "Then let's be more alert."
If you want to be more alert, naturally you can't just rely on words.
Qi Zhen began to analyze with Li Qiang the guests who walked into the other three rooms of the inn today.
"That woman... must not be a mortal." Qi Zhen said first.
Li Qiang nodded in agreement.
As outsiders, the team is not constrained by the inherent thinking of civilians in this world, and their way of looking at things is completely different from that of people in this world.
That woman was too good-looking, and it was too strange to appear here. Even in the context of the fairy sword world where the status of men and women is not so clear, the beautiful woman who appeared alone in front of the team still had to make people think. Suspect.
What makes Qi Zhen even more incredible is that with the strength of his mental power, he was a little distracted the moment he saw the woman, which shows how beautiful the woman is.
Or it can't be said to be beautiful, but charming.
I'm afraid not many ordinary people can resist the charming temperament exuded by every gesture.
So Qi Zhen cautiously speculated that she was not a mortal, but she didn't expect to get Li Qiang's approval.
"That man in white is very strong." Li Qiang said.
Indeed, Qi Zhen could feel the man's sharpness and contempt for everything, just like a sword hidden in a sheath, which seemed to be exposed at any time and could hurt someone when it was unsheathed.
"I don't see anything special about the other two businessmen," Qi Zhen said.
"But it just so happens that I think those two people should care more." He then added.
Li Qiang understood what Qi Zhen meant.
If everyone appearing in a scene looks extraordinary, and if someone looks ordinary, it just proves that that person may be the most extraordinary.
"There is a person, have you noticed it?" Li Qiang asked.
Qi Zhen nodded, and the two looked at each other without saying anything.
"Should we brave the difficulties or keep a low profile? What do you say, captain?" Qi Zhen asked Li Qiang.
"You can't hide from those who should come, and you can't ask for those who shouldn't come." Li Qiang said softly.
"Then follow the original plan. If nothing happens, we will leave early tomorrow and try to get to Wuhu to rest." Qi Zhen agreed with Li Qiang and replied.
Li Qiang nodded.
At night, there was silence.
I don’t know whether it’s because the atmosphere in the inn is too eerie or because there are too many people in the inn today. In short, today I can no longer even hear the insect calls that I could hear in the past.
This made the waiter, who was used to listening to the sound of frogs, a bit unable to sleep.
People tend to think blindly when they can't sleep, and he is no exception.
And it is indeed worth thinking about today, such as that girl's face, that girl's hands, that girl's waist, and that girl's footsteps.
It's so beautiful.
The waiter thought to himself and became more and more unable to sleep.
