Qin Bai slapped his head helplessly, and then used his arms to squeeze out of the crowd. He didn't intend to cover up anything, so he just led the donkey and walked in.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, the donkey left some excrement out of shame, and the stench immediately spread out.
The expression on the restaurant owner's face became a little stiff. He was mainly afraid of the sudden appearance of this strong man.
Especially with the dozens of weapons behind the opponent, there is no one more arrogant than him in the entire Guobei County.
In the eyes of others, these weapons definitely did not belong to Qin Bai. They should be used to suppress bandits, or they might be bandits themselves, and they definitely came from the wrong way.
From this point of view, there were not dozens but hundreds of people who died in his hands. Such a vicious person was indeed terrifying.
The two guys looked at each other and chose to retreat at the same time. Compared with the meager wages, their lives were more important.
Qin Bai ignored them and walked towards the restaurant owner with an amiable smile on his face.
Of course, among the crowd of onlookers, this smile was a bit too scary, so that the few children who came to watch the fun burst into tears.
The people on the side quickly covered the child's mouth, for fear of offending him. Only Qin Bai could make Guo Beixian so afraid.
But the strong character of the people here is not fake. Normally, they would have dispersed elsewhere, but more and more people gathered outside. This time, they focused on the restaurant owner.
This boss is extremely stingy in Guobei County. He does owe a lot of money on credit, so no one can speak for him.
Qin Bai came to the counter and leaned on it. With more than 200 kilograms and the force exerted intentionally or unintentionally, the solid wood counter turned into crumbs.
As soon as there was a big movement, the donkey immediately let out an excited bray and shook its head as if it really deserved a beating.
Qin Bai patted the restaurant owner on the shoulder and asked, "How much money do you owe my brother?"
The restaurant owner's mouth twitched and he looked at Ning Caichen with a very resentful expression.
Ning Caichen put away the long knife. He found that he looked a bit like a child who came to his parents after being bullied. Under the joking eyes of the crowd, he wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes on the ground.
"About ten taels..." The restaurant owner said a number weakly. He owed so much, so he didn't know how much it was, so he had to guess.
"Ning Caichen, take a look at the account book. If there is a word missing...hehe."
Qin Bai took the account book and started flipping through it, but he couldn't understand it at all. He just kept saying something, one, two or five taels, which made the restaurant owner's heart bleed.
He was afraid that if the other party continued to count, he would bleed profusely, so he quickly drew a two with his finger pen.
"I said it wrong, I said it wrong, it's twenty taels."
Qin Bai nodded, a small punishment or a big warning would be enough. Since he was kind-hearted, he would not embarrass the other party: "Okay, that's it, just take the money."
The restaurant owner smiled bitterly and took out a money bag from his arms, counted the money and handed it to Ning Caichen.
Seeing no conflict, the crowd seemed a little disappointed and quickly dispersed.
The most outrageous thing was that there were two government officials who were watching the show, and they blended perfectly into the crowd.
Qin Bai took Ning Caichen out of the restaurant. As soon as they arrived on the street, the crowd involuntarily moved out of the way, and there were always people pointing secretly at them.
"Brother Qin, why don't we get on the road as soon as possible." Ning Caichen saw that despite all the twists and turns, he finally got the account, so he immediately thought about rushing for the exam.
"There's no rush, let's find an inn to stay in first."
Zhou Bai glanced at him and thought about how to fool him. Otherwise, if he slipped away, his check-in task would be in a deadlock.
"Okay." Ning Caichen suddenly felt frightened for some reason. He subconsciously looked around and relaxed when he saw that nothing happened.
He thought about it carefully and realized that there was really no need to rush. The journey would take quite some time, so he might as well take advantage of the opportunity to rest.
The two quickly found an inn and booked two rooms. Seeing that it was getting late, they ate something and returned to the room to rest.
The donkey was kept in the stable of the inn. This was the first time for this guy to see it. Ordinary people always ride horses when traveling around the country. There is no reason to ride a donkey.
Before entering the house, Qin Bai grabbed Ning Caichen. After all, the next step was to prepare for seclusion, so it was better to make it clear as soon as possible.
"Ning Caichen, I plan to stay in Guobei County for a few more days to review my homework."
When the word "review homework" came out of Qin Bai's mouth, Ning Caichen had goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't help but say it.
"Reviewing your homework? Brother Qin, do you have any books for the scientific examination?"
"Of course." Qin Bai coughed, quickly took out the two books in his arms, shook them and put them back.
In Ning Caichen's mind, you think I'm a fool. I can clearly see "Jin Ping Mei" written in the book. Your level of study is really shocking.
"Okay, okay, just think that I have something to do. It will be fine in four or five days at most. During this period, I will pay for the guest room. You can also review it."
Ning Caichen thought carefully and agreed. His account was only seven or eight taels at most, and now that he had gotten a lot more, it was hard to refuse.
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Bai felt relieved. Ning Caichen's personality was that of a scholar. He usually promised to marry someone and would not break the contract easily. Besides, this was not a big deal.
After saying that, he returned to the guest room. The environment inside was relatively ordinary, but it was still clean and allowed the waiter to boil some hot water for a bath. It was definitely much better than in the wild.
Qin Bai specially asked the clerk to buy him some cleaner clothes, but because he was tall and tall, he had to wait for some time for them to be made in the store.
After freshening up, he took out "Paper Man Becomes a Spirit" and read it twice to make sure that he had not omitted any of the contents, and then he was ready to start practicing for the first time.
To be honest, Qin Bai was also a little uneasy. After all, this was a crooked book with very little content about practice, and most of it was about records of magic techniques.
If he went too far, he might be seriously injured, so he had to be more cautious.
He tried his best to let his mind empty. He sat cross-legged on the bed and touched his tongue to the roof of his mouth. He kept imagining that there was a stream of true energy circulating in his body.
This process will take an average person more than ten days, no matter how gifted it is, and it is not that easy to get started with. If you are not careful, you will get frustrated.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Qin Bai relied on perseverance to hold on motionless all night. However, he did not feel angry and was a little hungry.
Just as he was about to get up, a ray of light suddenly appeared on the eastern horizon.
