Li Baolu woke up in an instant, pulled Gu Jingyun into the car and drove on the road.

They only had one car, but those caravans had to look forward and backward, so it was inevitable that they would be slower, so Li Baolu and the others quickly overtook all the caravans, leaving them far behind.

Moreover, the jujubes are full and rested, so they are still very obedient at this time.

The obedient Hongzao was so fast that they arrived at the inn before sunset, and got two of the only three rooms left.

Li Baolu went upstairs with her luggage on her shoulders. Seeing that Xiaoer had left, she couldn't hold back and asked, "Why did you book two upper rooms?"

For Gu Jingyun's safety, they can sleep in the same room all the time.

Gu Jingyun picked out the bundle containing her clothes from the luggage and stuffed it into her arms, saying: "Take it to take a place first, and move it back later."

Seeing her at a loss, he said with a half-smile: "I don't want us to go to the next room to sleep after we have reserved a room, and I don't want to offend people who don't want to offend."

Thoughtful, Li Baolu carried the bag to the next room, took out the clothes, folded them and placed them on the bedside.

This inn was set up on the side of the official road, and there was a post station not far away, but that was the place where officials, officials, or subordinates on official business could live.

Compared with the desolation of the post station, this inn is really too lively. Travelers on the way, businessmen passing by, and those who want to enter the city mostly have to stay here, there is no way.

There are few villages along this official road, and the last town is far away from here, and there is not enough time to rush to the next town, so most of them will choose to stay here for one night, and a small number of people will continue on their way to the gate of the city to rest. Enter the city as soon as the city gate opens the next day.

This made the inn overcrowded. It took Li Baolu almost time to tidy up the rooms. The only upper room in the inn was also booked out. Not only the upper room, but also the middle room were gone. Those who came later could only choose to live in the Datong shop.

There are two big kangs built along the wall of the Datong shop, facing each other, one has nine bunks, and one room can sleep eighteen people.

No matter a man or a woman, you have to endure it if you live in it.

Li Baolu wandered around the backyard on the first floor, glanced at the situation of Datong Shop, and was speechless. Let alone such a proud son of heaven, even she can't live in this kind of accommodation, she would rather go out and sleep.

She lowered her voice and asked Gu Jingyun, "Are you sure they will come?"

Gu Jingyun said: "Not sure, but be prepared."

When the two went downstairs for dinner, the lobby was full of people, Gu Jingyun frowned slightly, and wanted to turn around and go upstairs.

He didn't like crowds, especially in such a noisy and noisy scene, he could feel his eardrums vibrate even if he stood aside, as if he would be yelled at.

But if they go upstairs, they can't know whether the waiting person will come or not.

Gu Jingyun glanced around, but didn't see an empty table, so he couldn't help pursing his lips, his whole face was serious, and the guy who greeted him felt his heart tremble, and he couldn't help but smile a little flatteringly: "Master and girl Do you want to eat?"

Gu Jingyun nodded silently.

The clerk wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "There is no room in the lobby. If you don't mind, my lord, I'll set up a table for you on the side railing on the second floor?"

Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can there be a dining table on the second floor?"

The front hall on the first floor is the lobby, which is used for eating and inviting guests, the backyard is the Datong shop, and the second and third floors are all accommodation areas. He didn't find any place to put a table.

The guy smiled flatteringly and said, "Two or three tables can be set up."

Those two or three tables were placed not far from the stairs.

In order to maximize the use of space, the guest rooms are all relative, but it is impossible to have guest rooms on the part of the stairs, so there are some vacant places on the stairs of the second and third floors.

The shopkeeper is very smart, knowing that some people are particular and don’t want to sit in the lobby. When they need it, they set up separate tables on the second and third floors. Not only can they make more money, but they can also save a few tables in the lobby and relieve pressure.

Even Li Baolu couldn't help admiring, "Your boss knows how to do business."

The buddy smiled sheepishly, "It's all a small business."

The owner, that is, the shopkeeper is his cousin, and all the people who work in this inn, from the cook to the waiter, are all from his own family.

Gu Jingyun raised his head and glanced at the location on the second floor. Looking down, he could have a panoramic view of the lobby, and the space above was much better than the lobby, and it was not so noisy.

He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then let's set up one."

The two children were frightened last night, so they didn't eat anything in the morning, and they had almost digested the supplement at noon. After hearing the names of the dishes reported by the waiter, they felt pretty good, so Gu Jingyun ordered four dishes.

As soon as the food was served, he saw the four people helping each other into the door, Gu Jingyun proudly raised his eyebrows at Li Baolu.

Li Baolu turned her head and carefully looked at the four people in the lobby, twitching the corners of her mouth, she had to admit that their camouflage skills were really poor, all four of them had black ash on their faces, even some beards would be fine No, you have to change your clothes.

Little did they know that the four people downstairs were also very aggrieved.

It's not that they don't understand the benefits of camouflage, but they have nothing to camouflage. They even lost their luggage on the road. Except for the broken silver and bank notes they carried with them, they are now bachelors.

They wanted to buy things, but they didn't come across a small town along the way, and there weren't even any larger villages.

Wei Yingjie took the money and wanted to buy some clothes from the passing merchants, but the merchants were very alert. These four people were not only tall and burly, they also carried swords with them, and there was a faint smell of blood on their bodies. The merchants He's not stupid, even if he doesn't hide from them, he won't rush to help them, and he declines everything they ask for.

buying clothes?

They just brought a change of clothes and sold you guys so I wouldn't have to wear them, man?

The group of coolies who could only walk on two legs didn't even have a spare pair of underwear, not to mention a change of clothes.

So the four of them could only smear their faces with ashes. Although they knew that the effect was not great, it was better than nothing.

Anyway, they are not as white as before, are they?

Although the four of them had a carriage, they were all wounded, especially Peng Yu, who lost most of his life, and only woke up once today, and continued to faint after drinking water. They couldn't catch up with Li Baolu and the others who were going to send them off.

Among the four, Li An didn't say anything, but Wei Yingjie was born as the proud son of heaven, so why did he suffer so much?

Hurrying on the road under the poisonous sun, without even stuttering, the four of them got sick from the sun. They thought they would sleep in the woods tonight and be on guard against any surprise attack at any time. Everyone felt their eyes darkened. , I still met a peddler who was carrying a burden, and after listening to his advice, I realized that there was an inn not far ahead.

When they saw the inn with flashing lights in the dark night ahead and faint noises from the inn, the four of them almost cried out of emotion.

After finally climbing into the inn, the shopkeeper said, "There are no rooms!".

Li An and the others looked ugly, and it was Wei Yingjie who smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, you have also seen that my brother has suffered from heat stroke, and he needs a good room to rest, how about this, you help me tell Let's make peace, let someone give up a room, don't worry, I will compensate you any money."

With that said, Wei Yingjie took out a piece of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand.

The shopkeeper's brows and eyes twitched sharply, looking at the silver in his hand for a while, he couldn't recover.

Li Baolu, who was eating and watching on the second floor, couldn't help saying in a low voice: "So rich!"

That ingot of silver is ten taels, ten taels!

The shopkeeper's heart was moved, he passed the guests in the room around in his mind, and finally said: "There is a pair of brothers and sisters who may let you."

The other upper houses lived in one room for two or three people, only Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu occupied one room, so he said: "They also only moved in this evening, brothers and sisters share one room, if you If you want to live in one room, then I will talk to them, maybe I can give you one room."

"But it's not necessarily true. That young man has an extraordinary bearing, and he doesn't look like he is short of money, so..."

"Don't worry shopkeeper, even if it doesn't work, we are also grateful to you," Wei Yingjie immediately said, "If it works, I have a big thank you here."

The shopkeeper nodded, but glanced suspiciously at the four of them. It was really not like a businessman with such a generous hand.

The merchants who live here, no matter how big their business is, are very careful and careful. If they want to get an extra penny from them, it's something that doesn't even have a window.

Seeing the shopkeeper's suspicious look, Wei Yingjie smiled wryly in his heart. He naturally knew that this move was very eye-catching, but he had absolutely no choice.

Who knew that this inn was so tight, seeing how crowded the lobby was, they couldn't really go to the Datong shop, not to mention the identity of the master, even their injuries had to be dealt with.

Peng Yu is still burning and needs environmental cultivation.

The shopkeeper went upstairs to find Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu. Wei Yingjie thought for a while, then followed Tao Wu with a wink. He thought, anyway, he had already revealed his fortune, and even if he spent money tonight, he would have to spend a good room Come.

Wei Yingjie was thinking about countermeasures in his mind, when he looked up, he saw the shopkeeper standing in front of a table with a big smile on his face, bowing to two half-grown children non-stop.

Wei Yingjie who saw the two children clearly: "..."

It's true that people meet everywhere in life, if they didn't arrive earlier than them, Wei Yingjie almost thought that these two people were following them.

Gu Jingyun was impatiently rejecting the shopkeeper's proposal. When he looked up, he saw Wei Yingjie standing at the top of the stairs. He tilted his head and looked at him with some doubts. He curled his lips as if confirming it after a while, bowed his head and continued to eat .

Wei Yingjie smiled wryly in his heart, knowing that they were rejected again.

However, the two children have saved their lives, not to mention they still need others at this time.

Wei Yingjie stepped forward to salute the two of them, and said, "Master Gu, Miss Li is safe and well, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

With a smile on her face, Li Baolu nodded to them with a good attitude: "You guys want to stay in this inn too, have you had dinner yet?"

Wei Yingjie was about to take this opportunity to fight for sympathy, when he saw Gu Jingyun turned his head and stared at Li Baolu, and said with hatred, "Why are you so stupid, don't you know that he is the one who wants to occupy our room?"

Li Baolu twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling that when Gu Jingyun said she was stupid, she was definitely not acting, but really thought so!

Well, it's just acting.
