The downtrodden black dragon in Niushou Mountain has become history, and has been written into the textbook of Hongchen Inn. The title of the book is "Dragon Killing", and it is now placed on the counter of the hotel.
The shopkeeper had nothing to do, quickly flipping through this strange book, with a slight smile on his face from time to time, and a very proud expression that aroused suspicion - he was the true god of war, the black dragon, who had escaped from death!
Outside the hotel, there is a row of green bamboos and red rhododendrons in full bloom, as well as an artificial lake about ten squares in size. A bank of green willows is planted on the lakeshore. When the oriole sees a stranger, it sings and calls the police.
The shopkeeper raised his head, gently closed the "Dragon Punishment" in his hand, and looked at Qiuyue and me with a smile.
"Boss, I want a room near the lake for a long stay." Qiuyue tied the horse to the willow tree by the lake, walked into the hotel, and knocked on the counter and asked.
"Sir, how long will you be staying?" The shopkeeper is a greasy old man with a goatee. He looks at Qiuyue's thick little face with a smile and asks with a smile on his face.
"It's not like I won't give you money, but how long do you care how long I stay? Look again, I'll pluck out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs!" Qiuyue said to the shopkeeper in a fierce voice.
"Don't dare! Don't dare! Sir, please come inside! Please come inside! Come with me." The shopkeeper said and took Qiuyue and me to the second floor.
"Creak, crunch!" After a burst of noise, we came to the door of an upper room. The shopkeeper took out the key, opened the door, and took us into the room.
"Sir, what do you think of this room? You can see the heads of cows when you look up, you can see swimming fish when you look down, the spring sun is shining in the sky, and the oriole trees are chirping among the young leaves. You can sit and watch the flowing clouds during the day, and you can also watch the moon at night.
Flowers... Tsk tsk tsk tsk! How does this room look like?" the shopkeeper asked Qiu Yue with a smile.
Seeing that I was speechless all the way, he only flattered Qiuyue.
As expected of a businessman, you can tell at a glance that I am not a businessman.
"How much does it cost per day?" Qiuyue asked.
"No more, no more, just one tael of silver is enough. It includes three meals a day, horse fodder, and a special ticket to the Fairy Hotel." The shopkeeper said to Qiuyue with a smile.
"Yeah! It's not expensive. Just leave the key and we'll live in this room. Prepare some good food. We are very picky. Money is not an issue." Qiuyue looked around and squeezed at me.
He winked and said proudly to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper left the key very politely, and then flattered Qiuyue: "You can tell at a glance that this eldest lady comes from a wealthy family. She doesn't have any counter-offers at all. I said eldest lady! I said it, little old man.
Don't be angry, this gentleman, although he looks very energetic and pleasant, is still not worthy of your noble elegance and gorgeous temperament, young lady!"
"He is a member of my family. Although he is short, he is very capable! He has things in his head that I would not exchange for a house full of real money!
Hahaha! Just the little ink you have, don’t show off in front of him. I told the shopkeeper to quickly bring a basin of hot water for us to wash up!" Qiuyue said and threw him a piece of silver, which is enough.
Twelve.
The shopkeeper took the money and went to make money with a smile.
"Let's relax first, and then go wandering in the mountains. Boss, let's go to some fairy restaurant to try something new in a while. Okay?" Qiuyue didn't even take off her shoes, she just jumped on the bed and lay down.
"I'll just take a nap on this rattan chair for a while! Let's wash our faces before we go." I looked at the sun that had just passed a pole high above the eastern mountain, and said to Qiuyue with a smile.
"Hmm!..." Qiuyue said while snoring.
Alas! She is becoming more and more tacky, and her fairy spirit is becoming less and less...!
It seems that the world of mortals is poisonous, which is not what Taozu said randomly.
But I can't leave, because I have accepted the mission of the Great God, and I can't give up my choice!
The most important thing is that I want to bring Qiuyue back to the fairy mountain and renew our relationship with the fairy!
I fell down on the wicker chair and thought to myself.
"Sir, your hot water is here. There is also the shop's special Niushou Mountain tea and the black stone spring water from Black Dragon Pond. This tea is second to none! This is Niushou Pearl Brewing, which is a first-class drink in the suburbs of Jinling.
You two should have a good taste..." The shopkeeper brought up all the household items and store treasures and introduced them to me one by one.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for your thoughtful greeting." I said to him politely.
After a while, the waiter brought hot towels and some bits and pieces of practical items.
After the waiter went downstairs, the shopkeeper asked me again: "Sir, are you two dining in the shop, or are you going out to eat? If you are dining in the shop, I will prepare it for you when I go down.
Prepare."
"No, we will go out to eat later and come back to eat in the evening." I said to him politely.
"Okay, sir. What do you want to have for dinner? I'll let the waiter do the shopping," the shopkeeper said.
"Um! Fresh live fish from the lake will be fine. For the rest, just add a couple of fruits and vegetables." I simply ordered a few items and said to the shopkeeper.
In fact, he doesn’t have what I want to eat here! I want to eat nectar and night wind, but he can’t get it.
"Okay, sir. Remember to lock the door when you go out. Leave your valuables at the front desk. Don't leave them in the room. It's not safe!" the shopkeeper warned me.
After saying that, he went out.
I washed my face and continued my enlightenment.
Qiuyue slept for a full hour, and when the sun was already three o'clock in the sky, she rubbed her eyes and called herself old.
Hey! My job as secretary is so tiring!
"I'm here. Qiuyue, have you rested well? What are we going to do next?" I stood up from the wicker chair and went to the bedside to wait on her and said.
"Oh! I'll wash my face with cold water first, and then we'll see what happens." She supported me, got out of bed in a daze, and asked me for the water channel for washing my face.
I helped her sit on a wicker chair, then poured her a basin of warm water and placed it in front of her.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're so kind, old man." She finally regained her head and said coquettishly to me with a disheveled smile.
"Wash your face quickly! The water will cool down and your hands will freeze after a while." I handed the towel to her and said to her with concern.
For a person who is busy all day long, once she has some free time, it is easy for her to think wildly and her temper will become bad!
I know that to survive in the wild, Qiuyue and I must go back to back.
When immortals pass through the mortal world, the most taboo thing is the wilderness, where it is easy to cause trouble.
"Go to some fairy hotel later and see if there is anything worth learning." Qiuyue took the towel from my hand and catered to me.
In fact, Qiuyue also runs a hotel, so she is very concerned about food. After all, this is the bowl of rice she eats.
I waited quietly for Qiuyue to finish washing and dressing up, then opened the door and walked out of the hotel.
There was a new face at the hotel counter, and the previous shopkeeper had disappeared.
"Shopkeeper, where are our horses? The boss and I want to go for a ride on horseback." I said to the new-faced shopkeeper with a smile.
"Oh! Are you a guest officer on the second floor? There are two horses, one white and one black, right?" the shopkeeper said after verifying my identity.
"Yes!" I promised him.
"Still grazing under the willow tree by the fish pond! Sir, go early and come back early. The mountains are uneasy at night." The shopkeeper said to me with a smile.
"Okay. Thank you, shopkeeper, for reminding me." I thanked him and walked out of the inn.
