Carrying the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 77 - The inn is full
When Shopkeeper Feng heard that the waiter was back, he walked out of the back hall, knocked the waiter on the head and said, "Why are you shouting? It's just that there are no customers on weekdays. The store is full today, so don't disturb the customers."
The waiter hadn't seen the store full of customers for a long time, so he said aggrievedly: "I didn't know it was full today. By the way, the shopkeeper, all the things that the customers in the Tianzi Room have bought."
"Hurry up and deliver it to the guests. Don't keep them waiting."
Following the shopkeeper's instructions, the waiter hurried up to the second floor, thinking that it was not easy to meet a generous customer. He would seize the opportunity to talk about his hard work in purchasing. When the customer is happy, maybe he will
I will give myself some rewards.
After knocking on the door of the Tianzihao guest room, the waiter thought happily about how much money this guest could reward him. After a while, the guest's voice came from the room.
"Just leave your purchases at the door."
Seeing that the opportunity to ask for reward money was about to fail, the waiter quickly said: "Sir, please try on the clothes I bought. If they don't fit, I will go over to help you change them."
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened a crack, and a piece of broken silver was thrown out from the crack.
"Just put it down and go." The guest's voice came from the guest room.
Now that he had received the reward, the waiter saw that the guest did not want to talk much, so he put down his clothes, picked up some broken silver, put it in his arms, and happily went downstairs to do his work.
Everything that happened in front of the Tianzi room on the second floor was clearly seen by Chi Tianya and Gu Xiao downstairs.
Chi Tianya put down the wine cup in his hand, approached Gu Xiao and said, "This guest in Tianzi Room is too strange. What do you think, Brother Mu?"
"Brother Tianya is worried about exactly what I am thinking. This person has been peeking in the room while I was waiting to enter the store. I wonder if he is the person sent to monitor by the Chi Qianren that Brother Tianya said." Gu Xiao replied.
road.
"Brother Mu, if we go to investigate now, we're afraid of disturbing the situation, so why not..." Chi Tianya said this and winked at Gu Xiao.
"It's better to find a chance to investigate." Gu Xiao immediately understood what Chi Tianya meant.
Seeing Lin'er and others eating deliciously, Gu Xiaobian and Chi Tianya didn't want to delay everyone's meal, so they decided to investigate.
Everyone didn't know what their eldest brother and Namu's younger brother had been whispering to each other. After running around for several days, everyone was very tired and exhausted. After the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Let's not talk about it for now.
——
In Tianzi Room, Shen Yulou watched the group of men in black and elegant shirts go back to their rooms, and his vigilance relaxed slightly. He chose Lingliang Inn because the business here was not good and there were few guests.
Unexpectedly, a group of people would pour in today. What worries Shen Yulou even more is that the clothes of this group of people are the same as those of the people who destroyed his Xiaoloufeng. When this group of people entered the store, they almost broke the sky.
Shen Yulou, who was peeping in the office, was so frightened that he jumped out of the window and ran away.
But Shen Yulou then thought about it, if that group of people were chasing them, why bother to work so hard and stay in a hotel, so he kept opening the door in the Tianzi room to peek at the group of black-clothed men downstairs.
Every move.
Seeing that this group of people were just staying in the hotel for dinner, I was a little relieved. Just when Shen Yulou peeked downstairs again, an ordinary-looking man and a young man in a big cloak among the group of people raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of their room.
, Shen Yulou hurriedly closed the door and stopped peeping.
"Since this group of people is not the one who came to chase me, why are they dressed in the same clothes? The leading man and the young man just now can detect their prying eyes, so they must be very skilled in martial arts."
Shen Yulou said to himself, but the days of running for his life had made Shen Yulou exhausted. Although Ning Xidan had alleviated his heavy injuries, Shen Yulou still did not dare to take it lightly.
Looking at the table full of dishes, the wooden bucket filled with hot water, and the clean clothes bought by the waiter.
Shen Yulou gritted his teeth and said, "Even if these people are chasing soldiers, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape at this moment. It's better to be a dead ghost and a clean ghost."
Thinking of this, Shen Yulou no longer cared about the group of people downstairs. After wolfing down the food and wine on the table, he took a comfortable bath and put on clean clothes. Only then did Shen Yulou feel that he was at this moment. Still like a human being.
Pushing the door of the guest room open again, Shen Yulou secretly watched the people downstairs go back to their rooms to rest, and then he truly felt relieved: "Maybe it's really just a coincidence."
Once the tight nerves relaxed, sleepiness suddenly came over him. Coupled with the previous injuries, Shen Yulou could not hold on, but his eyelids felt heavy.
After tightening the door bolt, Shen Yulou leaned on the bed and fell asleep soundly.

After being busy for a long time, Shopkeeper Feng finally had some free time. He scooped up a spoonful of water and rinsed his hands clean. Shopkeeper Feng walked out of the back hall, thinking that since the guests had gone back to their rooms to rest, he could have another cup of tea. Tea and continue to bask in the sun.
As he was about to leave the inn, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves on the street, and two carriages arrived in front of the Lingliang Inn.
Shopkeeper Feng looked at the carriage and said to himself: "No way, are you here to stay in my shop again?"
The horse pulling the carriage seemed to have heard what Shopkeeper Feng was saying to himself. When they arrived outside the Lingliang Inn, the two carriages actually stopped.
The curtain of the leading carriage opened, and a middle-aged couple got out of the carriage.
The man was elegant and polite, like a middle-aged scholar returning to his hometown. After getting off the carriage, he reached out to help the woman out of the carriage. The woman held the man's hand and lightly jumped off the carriage.
The middle-aged couple had a very good relationship. The man took his wife's hand and walked slowly to Shopkeeper Feng. The man clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Shopkeeper, I am returning home with my wife and passing by Lingliang Town. I heard that Lingliang Inn It's a famous inn in the town, and I, along with my wife and entourage, came here to check it out."
Shopkeeper Feng only felt that today's sun seemed to rise from the west and set from the east, and then he said in return: "Sir, if you want to stay in the hotel on weekdays, there must be a room, but today the hotel is indeed full, please invite us. Forgive me."
When the man heard what the shopkeeper said, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "In that case, I'm sorry for bothering you."
Shopkeeper Feng returned the favor and said: "Guests, please go slowly." Watching the middle-aged couple board the car and drive away, Shopkeeper Feng said strangely: "It's really strange. What kind of wind is blowing today? Why are all the guests turning around?" temper."
Although he was doubtful, shopkeeper Feng turned around to find his own teapot from which he had drunk a mountain of tea. He asked the waiter to make another pot for him, then lay back on the lounge chair, humming a tune leisurely and enjoying the sun.
On the second floor of the inn, in the Tianzi Room, Shen Yulou woke up and saw the whole process of the middle-aged couple coming downstairs to the inn. After closing the window, Shen Yulou said to himself: "Sure enough, those people didn't let them go either. Since Brother Song and his wife have also arrived at Donglai Peak, it means that Hanshan Village has also been poisoned, so why not wait until night to find them and discuss it."
After making up his mind, Shen Yulou carefully pushed the door open a crack, looked around, and carefully checked to confirm that all the people in black clothes had gone back to their rooms to rest. Then he walked out of the Tianzihao room and hurried out of the inn. , after giving instructions to the shopkeeper who was drinking tea and basking in the sun, he went in the direction where Song Shu and his wife left.
Shen Yulou left the inn, and the two doors on the second floor opened. Gu Xiao and Chi Tianya walked out of the room at the same time. Instead, they looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other's thoughts.
When the two were about to go downstairs, they heard a voice calling from behind: "Brother Chi, if you have something interesting to do, you can't do it without me."
Looking back, it was Lin'er, stroking Ta Xue in his arms. Lin'er looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, we are not going to have fun, we are going to find out whether that person is a spy sent by Chichiren. It's not like you haven't seen Yuelailou before. Those two brothers with yin and yang faces are not vegetarians."
Seeing that Lin'er wanted to join in the fun again, Gu Xiao quickly pulled Lin'er aside. Before Gu Xiao could speak, Lin'er whispered.
"I just saw you and Brother Chi winking at you downstairs. Not only did I notice it, but even my sister noticed it. But she told me that you and Brother Chi would not tell us because they were worried about us. But I I actually like to join in the fun. Can you take me with you?" Lin'er looked at Gu Xiao with expectant eyes.
Gu Xiao had originally made up his mind that no matter what Lin'er said, he would not take her on any adventure, but now that he looked at her almond-shaped eyes, his original determination seemed to have completely forgotten, and he unconsciously replied: "Okay."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gu Xiao regretted it. He saw Lin'er happily hugging Ta Xue and walked to Chi Tianya. He turned back to Gu Xiao and said, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go."
Scratching his head, Gu Xiao wondered why he had just agreed to Lin'er in a confused way, but once the man had said it, it was hard to follow him. He could only count on Brother Chi, but when he looked at Brother Chi, he saw that he also had a meaningful smile. , said: "Brother Mu, if you don't chase me, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch you."
Gu Xiao sighed, and had no choice but to take Lin'er with Chi Tianya. The three of them left the inn and walked in the direction where the guests in the room left that day.
——
Lingliang Town is not a big town, and there are many inns. Song Shu and his wife also found out that Lingliang Inn has the fewest guests in the town. They originally planned to stay at Lingliang Inn, but the shopkeeper told them that it was full.
Song Shu and his wife had no choice but to find another inn in Lingliang Town to rest.
Entering the room, Shi Shi said to Song Shu: "Husband, after we left, the brothers divided the gold and silver and went to find their own way to make a living. They have embarked on the right path, which can be regarded as fulfilling their father's wish."
Song Shu held his wife's hand and sighed: "I hope you can understand this bad strategy. In this way, everyone in the stronghold can also get gold and silver, and they can each find a right way to make a living, and they will not lose their lives because of Hanshan Stronghold. "
Shi Shi held her husband's hand with her backhand and said softly: "Don't worry, husband, we have left the green forest now. We will live a good life in the future and find a legitimate livelihood. I will give birth to a big fat boy for you, so that your husband can also enjoy it." Enjoy the days when your children are at your knees."
Song Shu smiled and said: "My lady really feels sorry for Xiao Sheng. Back then, she fell in love with Xiao Sheng at a glance among so many men. Speaking of this big fat boy, it would be better to choose a day than to meet him. Please ask Madam to help him." "
The couple were having a private conversation, and Shi Shi only heard someone peeking outside the door. Song Shu was a weak scholar, so naturally he couldn't hear it, but Shi Shi had martial arts skills.
Hearing the movement outside the door, Shi Shi signaled to her husband. Shi Shi touched his waist with one hand and said to the door: "Which master is visiting, please tell me his name."
As soon as these words came out, the spy outside the door whispered back: "Brother Song, Sister-in-law Shi, it's me, Shen Yulou."
