Chapter 748 Heartbroken
Chu Huan and his fours arrived in front of the inn, and no one came out to greet him. Chu Huan got off the horse first and handed the reins to the Camel Horse. When he entered the inn, he saw that the lights were lit in the inn. Two shop friends were lying on the table and dozing off. Chu Huan coughed, and one of the shops woke up in a daze. Seeing Chu Huan standing in front of the door, he was stunned at first, then he had already gotten up and smiled and said, "Do you want to stay in the hotel?"
Chu Huan nodded and asked, "I have four people here. Can I prepare two guest rooms?"
The guy woke up his companion and smiled and said, "Hail, two guest rooms, what other instructions do the guest officials have?"
"Feat some horse feed for our horses." Chu Huan walked to a table and sat down, "What are you eating here? Just go up." As he walked along the way, he didn't feel that Chu Huan was still feeling a little tired after sitting down.
Sun Zikong and his friends tied up their horses, so they came in one after another and sat down at Chu Huan's table. A guy came up to tea first. Chu Huan had already asked: "My man, ask where is it?"
"This is in Huzhou, Anyi Road." The guy smiled and said, "Where are the guests going?"
"Don't ask so much, bring the food up quickly." Chu Huan ordered.
The guy agreed to retreat. When Chu Huan saw that Sun Zikong had already picked up the teacup, he immediately reached out to hold his arm and shook his head. Sun Zikong was stunned and looked at Ma Zheng and the other two. Seeing that the two camel guests did not take the teacup, he came over and asked in a low voice: "Master, you are suspicious..."
Chu Huan shook his head with a smile and did not speak.
At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the door. Chu Huan and his men's expressions immediately became tight. The roads that Chu Huan and his men chose to be remote and wilderness, with few pedestrians. Sometimes, after walking, they could not see a person for a few hours. As soon as they entered the inn, there was a sound of horse hooves outside, so the few men naturally became alert.
Soon, someone slowly walked in from outside the gate. Chu Huan and his friends looked at him with the sound of footsteps. When they saw the visitor, they were stunned. Chu Huan's eyebrows were locked.
I saw the person who came in from outside, his whole body was covered in a gray robe. The robe was made of ordinary material, made of coarse hemp. There was a white strap tied around his waist, and a package in his right hand. The package was a bit special, wrapped in coarse hemp and long. Chu Huan just took a look and felt that the package should be covered with weapons.
What was surprising was the face of this person. It was obvious that this person was wearing a mask, and the mask was very delicate, revealing his eyes and mouth. Chu Huan had excellent eyesight. After seeing this person enter the inn, he glanced around his right eye, but the left eye under the mask was closed, and he couldn't see clearly for a while. He could only see that his left eye was not opened.
The guy behind heard the footsteps and had already come out. When he saw the man in gray robe, he immediately smiled and said, "Do you want to stay in a hotel?"
The man in gray robe sat down at a table near the corner, put the long and thick numb wrapped in his hand on the table, and his voice was hoarse: "If you don't stay in the restaurant, come up with food!"
The guy smiled and nodded. The man in gray robe sat at the table and said nothing. Sun Zikong looked at him a few times, approached Chu Huan, and whispered: "Master, this man... seems to have no arms!"
Chu Huan nodded slightly, and it was already obvious that the man was holding a package in his right hand. The moment he sat down, the gray robe swung up, and his left arm was facing this side. Chu Huan's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen the long sleeves of the left arm inside the man floating, obviously a broken arm.
Although it is an inn in the wilderness, its efficiency is not low. After a while, the guy has brought wine and food. There is no good food in the wilderness. He put it on the table and put two jars of wine on it. Chu Huan frowned and said, "We don't seem to ask for wine!"
The guy smiled and said, "Customer, you look like heroes. How can heroes not drink alcohol? If you are already cold today, drinking a glass of wine can warm your body. This is a good wine in our store. I don't believe you can try it. If you don't think it's worth it, the two jars of wine in our store will not be paid for, so I will treat it as a gift for you."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Since that's the case, we must try it."
The guy said, "I'll go get the wine bowls objectively." He left quickly, and soon took four big bowls, put them on, and poured the wine himself, with a smile on his face. Sun Zikong couldn't help but say, "I'm saying, why are your shop open in the wilderness? It's not a black shop, right?" He was not afraid of words. He followed Chu Huan. Even if it was a black shop, Sun Zikong was not afraid at all.
The guy immediately lowered his face and said, "This guest is not good at speaking. If you think this is a black store, you can leave now."
Ma Zheng smiled and said, "Although it's not nice, how can a businessman open the inn in the wilderness?"
The guy frowned, and Chu Huan was already laughing and said, "My brother is joking, don't be surprised."
The guy shook his head and said, "You don't know that it's impossible to drive the inn in the wilderness. Our Huzhou has extremely heavy taxes. If you open an inn in a prosperous area, you have to pay a heavy tax. Not only will you pay a lot of taxes, but you have to deal with such a poor master every few days and you can't earn a lot of money."
Chu Huan said: "Can you earn money in this wilderness?"
"Do you say there are fewer guests here?" The guy smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you that although there are fewer guests, there are not a shortage of guests. In addition to traveling like several guests, there are several mountains nearby. Hunters often hunt here. They like to come here to drink a few glasses. They feel comfortable drinking. They throw some prey and take prey to the market to exchange for money, which is not less than wine."
"So that's it." Chu Huan laughed: "There are shrimp paths, and crab paths. I wonder what business is there for running an inn here. It turns out that it is a hunter's business."
The guy raised his hand and pointed at the wine bowl, "Several guests can try it, let's see how it is?"
Chu Huan smiled slightly, but did not serve the bowl. The guy turned around and took a bowl from the counter. Without saying a word, he opened the mud seal of the wine jar, poured half a bowl of wine, and drank it all in one go. Then he said: "Several guests suspected that this was a black shop, and they were worried that the wine would be poisonous, right? If it was poisonous, I would poison it to death first!"
Chu Huan laughed, got up, pulled the guy's arm, and went straight out of the door. The guy was surprised, Chu Huan had already said, "Come out with me, I'll ask you something."
The guy frowned and was pulled outside the door by Chu Huan. Chu Huan had already asked: "We are going to Huzhou City, but we don't know which direction we should go next. Please give me some advice."
The guy then breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the direction. Chu Huan thanked him. The two of them entered the store and walked to the table. They found that the wine bowls of Sun Zikong and the other two were empty. Ma Zhengzheng poured wine into the wine bowl again, while Sun Zikong smashed his mouth and smiled and said, "This wine is really good. Brothers, I'm going to rest here tonight anyway. Let's stop after we get drunk..."
Chu Huan sat down, picked up the wine bowl, suddenly looked out the door, and said strangely, "Who is that person?" Everyone followed his gaze, but did not see anyone. In a puzzled manner, Chu Huan had already said, "My man, it seems that someone is passing by outside. Look at our horses are still there. In this wilderness, I am worried that a thief will steal our horses."
The guy shook his head and smiled, "No, no." Seeing Chu Huan staring at him, he could only say, "I'll help you see." After going out, he came back soon and said, "Don't worry, the horses are pretty, no one passes by, I'm afraid you're not watching it."
While speaking, he glanced into Chu Huan's bowl, but found that the wine in Chu Huan's bowl was completely clean.
Chu Huan picked up the wine jar, poured wine into the bowl, and asked, "My man, the name of your inn is very interesting, why is it called Duanchang Inn?"
The guy was about to speak, but he saw Sun Zikong suddenly raised his hand and pressed his temple, "I... my head hurts so much..." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "choking" sound. Liu Suifeng had originally picked up the wine bowl, but the wine bowl in his hand suddenly fell off his hand and fell on the table. Half of the wine was splashed on the table. Liu Suifeng quickly hugged his head and shouted: "My head... my head hurts so much..."
Chu Huan looked surprised, but saw that Ma Zheng had quickly stood up, grabbed the mate with one hand and said sternly: "This... is wrong with this wine..." The mate retreated quickly. Ma Zheng only took one step, and his feet seemed to be mixed with garlic. He suddenly became soft and he sat down to the ground.
Sun Zikong and Liu Suifeng were both lying on the table at this time. Chu Huan looked cold and stared at the guy: "Your place is indeed a black shop..."
The guy didn't say anything, but heard a voice coming from beside him: "I know it's a black shop, but I dare to come in. You are so brave." Then laughter came, and four or five people had already rushed out from behind the hall. One of them was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding a copper stick in his hand. "We have seen many people like you. You dare to walk on the road in this wilderness and night road, and you feel that you are amazing. Even if you know it's a black shop, you feel that you have the ability and have to break in. But it's easy to come in. It's not easy to go out. If you ask why this inn is called Duanchang Inn, I'll tell you, Duanchang, you'll be heartbroken. Once you enter my shop, you will be heartbroken. Hahaha..."
Chu Huan sighed: "So that's it, then what do you want to do?"
"Ask a question knowingly." The man sneered: "We have to settle horses and money. We didn't hurt anyone's life at first, but if you leave here and report to the official, our inn will not be able to continue. There is no way. If you want to blame, you can only blame you for taking the wrong path. Don't worry, we are responsible for killing and burying. When you die, you will definitely be buried!"
Chu Huan said: "Your people have also drunk wine, why is he okay?"
"You guys dare to enter my shop in these two tricks." The man said disdainfully: "The wine is not poisonous, but the wine bowl is poisonous!"
Chu Huan sighed, "I didn't expect that there are more smart people in the black store today." He glanced at the few people and asked, "Besides you, how many people are there in this black store? Have they all come out?"
