Chapter 217 There is something weird about this inn
This night, He Ning, the head shopkeeper of Feng'an Inn, was also awakened.
He was awakened by thunder and lightning. He put on his robe and called the clerk who lived next door to him, and he and he quickly went to close the window of the empty guest room.
Originally it was for ventilation to prevent the room from having a musty smell due to no guests staying in it for a long time.
After everyone was closed and returned to the room, shopkeeper He wiped his face wet with rainwater swept in by the strong wind outside the window with a cotton towel: "I didn't expect that she was really right!"< br>
"Xiaodouzi?" Thinking of this, he opened the door again and called the guy next door.
"Shopkeeper? Did you remember that there is something confiscated?" Xiaodouzi leaned out half of his body and asked.
"Um, in the afternoon of the kitchen, did you go and buy the ingredients that the guests who stayed this afternoon asked?" Shopkeeper He asked.
When Xiaodouzi heard this, he was startled, what happened to the shopkeeper? Usually, as long as he explains this kind of thing, he won't ask again!
“Well, I bought it back. The chickens, ducks and geese are all kept in cages in the backyard, and a few fish are also kept in the pond. I also bought some ribs and other things and sent them to the small ice cellar. .
Shopkeeper, what's wrong? "
Upon hearing that the kitchen supplies had been purchased, Shopkeeper He breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "It's okay. You can go to sleep. Also, remind them again tomorrow morning that we finally got here. This group of guests, every one of them in our inn, cheered me up and took good care of them. "
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, we all know how to do this without you reminding us. However, the guests have moved in. If they find out, they will still come to cause trouble, right? "Xiaodouzi simply came over and said very worriedly.
Shopkeeper He sighed and said, the news I got is that they went out before them and they are not sure when they will come back. In short, after they Before we came, we were fine Just do it.”
“Well, don’t worry, shopkeeper, Hong Zi also sent stoves and two loads of water to the rooms of the female guests last evening for the convenience of their ladies. There is hot water to drink and bathing in," Xiaodouzi said.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper He nodded with great relief: "You've done a good job. When our inn business resumes, we will give you a wage increase."
"Shopkeeper, it doesn't matter if we don't want wages. It's not you and the boss. Take a few of us in, we're still wandering outside and starving. Boss, don't worry, they say good things come to you, our inn will be fine." After Xiaodouzi said this, he turned around and went back to his house. Went.
Shopkeeper He said to himself as he closed the door: "Good deeds are rewarded with good deeds. The world is in chaos now, and good people are not rewarded with good deeds."
At dawn. , although there is no thunder and lightning, the wind and rain are still heavy.
Quan Jinghuai, who was the first to get up, walked to the window and opened it a crack. He saw that it was raining outside and he couldn't see the shops on the opposite street clearly.
After Quan Jinghuai and several male disciples had washed up and opened the door, the innkeeper squatting at the top of the stairs quickly got up and walked over.
"Shh." Tianshu motioned to the waiter to keep his voice down, and pointed to the door next to him.
That was Hong Xiaoduo's room. They thought they didn't sleep well last night and were afraid that the man would wake them up.
The waiter nodded: "Gentlemen, the food has been prepared. The master in the kitchen asked you what you want to eat. There are steamed buns, noodles, meatloaf and porridge. Do you want to go to the lobby downstairs? Or send it to the room?" Hong Zi took a few steps forward and said in a low voice.
"Let's go down to eat. Let's talk about what to eat." Quan Jinghuai took a deep look at this waiter who had an extremely good attitude and said.
He has stayed in countless inns, and most of them have very good attitudes, but this is the first time he has encountered such a good one.
No wonder Tianshu felt that it was abnormal and weird yesterday.
However, Quan Jinghuai doesn't feel the slightest danger here.
Just as he was about to go downstairs with his five male disciples, they heard the door open next to them. Everyone turned and looked over, and saw Feiyan opening the door softly and coming out.
The three of them are still sleeping? Quan Jing asked with a look in his eyes. Feiyan nodded and closed the door gently.
Tianshu told Feiyan to go downstairs for breakfast.
The two adults, five children, and the boy walked down the stairs very lightly.
We sat in the lobby downstairs and discussed what to eat. After talking to the waiter, everyone realized that there were only seven of them and the shopkeeper behind the counter in the entire downstairs.
After ordering the food and delivering it, Tianxuan and the others were not in a hurry to start, but looked at their master.
Feiyan, who had already stretched out her hand, subconsciously took it back without knowing why.
When Quan Jinghuai saw the disciples like this, he smiled after understanding: "Don't worry, eat it, it's no problem."
Listening to the master's words so firmly, the children then Feel free to pick up what you want to eat.
Feiyan just realized what was going on, but she didn't laugh because it was not funny for children to be so cautious.
On the contrary, she felt that she was not as cautious as these children.
Fortunately, he met Hong Xiaoduo and the others and took him in. Otherwise, he would have fallen into the hands of others, and he would have been helping others collect money for fear of being sold.
That’s not right. You don’t need others to sell you, so why don’t you just put straw in your head and sell yourself?
Thinking of Yuheng waking up from a nightmare last night, hadn’t he always had nightmares before? It was only after I joined them that I never did it.
In her dream, there was her lost mother, and her father whose body was buried in a white cloth on the street without money, but the most terrifying thing in the dream was the young master Zhao who wanted to buy her.
His lewd smile and disgusting gaze.
However, I don’t know when it started, but I haven’t had nightmares about him anymore.
In the past few months, even if she encountered bandits or pirates, she was so frightened that she never had nightmares when she slept at night.
Feiyan knew that it was not that she had become bolder, but that the sense of security she had was given by the girl who was younger than herself.
This is amazing. I don’t even feel that the sense of security comes from Master Quan.
Quan Jinghuai and the others finished eating for a while, and then Hong Xiaoduo took the two children downstairs.
Quan Jinghuai and Tianshu looked at Yuheng at the same time and found that she was in good condition, so everyone looked at Hong Xiaoduo. Needless to say, they knew that this was her contribution.
"Master, did I disturb you last night?" Yu Heng apologized after sitting down.
Everyone looked at her just now, so they must know what happened to her last night.
"We were awakened by the thunder first, and then we vaguely heard your voice. Have you rested? If not, you can eat and go back to catch up on your sleep later." Quan Jinghuai looked at the little girl. Disciple, I feel very sad.
Tianshu and the others also agreed, saying that the thunder was so loud that it shook the window frames.
After Hong Xiaoduo sat down, he looked at Quan Jinghuai...
Dear friends, good night and sweet dreams (⊙o⊙)...
