These days, there are not many old people who can still live happily after their sixties.
It is rare to see an old couple who can open an inn in this countryside.
After all, this requires not only ability, but also courage.
The old couple in this unknown country inn are undoubtedly very courageous.
Although they have reached an age where their eyesight is dim, they can still see that the people who come to stay tonight are not ordinary people.
Let's just say that the patron wearing the Maitreya mask and the monk were just fine in ordinary times. They were walking around at night in black robes, which would make them as scary as possible.
There were also those six young men. Not to mention that one of them was unconscious, the smell of blood and sweat on the other five's bodies was enough to indicate that these people had probably just killed a lot of people before they came here.
The old couple were lucky enough to live to this age from the barbarian chaos twenty years ago, and they may have experienced more salt and hardship than these ten people combined.
The reason why he didn't refuse ten people to stay overnight was because he didn't show too much fear.
Naturally, it was not for the sake of the money that was wasted and life wasted, nor was it a forced compromise.
After all, it was from the calm demeanor and friendly atmosphere of the ten people that they could tell that the other party was from the Jianghu community, and judged whether they had gotten into a big trouble or had settled the trouble they had caused. They really only needed to stay for one night, no matter what.
It would cause some trouble, so he accepted the silver taels handed over by the black-robed monk.
When they finished telling the leading masked man that the room was clean, they saw a girl dragging another girl into the room at the far corner.
The old man was still secretly shaking his head and saying that the world was changing too fast, but the old woman was smiling with her eyes narrowed.
The old lady obviously noticed that the taller and duller one in the back was definitely not a girl, but a young man.

The young man dressed up as a girl or to hide his identity.
As for why she, an old woman, saw that the so-called "girl" in the back who had changed her appearance was a young man.
Just because when she was young, she took the initiative to hold the hand of her old man. At that time, the old man was as passive and clumsy as the young man just now.
After the guests entered the house one after another, the old couple began to work diligently.
The old man went to make a fire to cook, while the old woman chose and washed the vegetables.
Cooking is really not difficult. After washing the rice and adding a little water, it is only a matter of time before the rice is cooked.
So the old man had planned to fetch some well water for the guests and wash them briefly first.
But the big and quiet man went out and fetched buckets of water for his companions in each room.
Of course, in the corner room, they just put the bucket outside the door and walked away silently.
Seeing this scene, the old couple felt more assured that the guests who came to stay at their home would definitely not be heinous people.
The old man set up a stove to boil water so that the guests could have hot water to wash themselves after eating.
The old woman rummaged through the fish and pork that her eldest son had sent her a few days ago, preparing to add some meaty flavor to these young people.
The weather is getting cooler, and many foods are more durable. If you eat them at this time, they are not fresh but not bad.
In about half an hour, the old couple was busy preparing two meat dishes, four vegetable dishes and one soup.
Before they could greet him, the big man, who must have a good nose, walked out of the door looking for the smell.
He continued to praise the meat and coriander for their delicious taste, and invited everyone to come out to eat.
When the old woman saw this, she was also infected by the cheerful mood of the big man. She always felt like it was a Chinese New Year, so she asked him to move out the big table at home where they eat together during New Year's and holidays, so that ten of them could eat at the table.
After hearing the sound, everyone went out one after another. Seeing the old couple's hospitality, they couldn't displease the host.
When Xiaolian woke up, she couldn't move her hands yet. Fortunately, Xiaoan and Mrs. Wanqi were taking care of her, so she could eat when she opened her mouth.
Smiling Maitreya and Shadow Buddha, who had had dinner, also came to the table to join in the fun.
But no one knew whether they were here to join in the fun of the dinner or the two people in that room.
The door to that room was the last to be opened.
Only then did the two people in the house accidentally discover the bucket outside the door.
The bucket was carried into the house and the door was closed again.
The two people knew that everyone was waiting for them to start eating together, and they were too embarrassed to tell everyone to just wait. They finished cleaning up and walked out again after a short time.
Mo Li is still Mo Li, but everyone can clearly see that her steps are much more exciting, and there is no sign of fatigue.
People feel refreshed when happy events occur, and it is obvious that a happy event makes her steps light and cheerful.
"Xiaoying" is no longer Xiaoying.
This seems to be a guess that most people can make.
Everyone can see that "Xiao Ying" has grown taller and stronger.
As a result, the loose clothes seemed a bit tight, and a small part of the wrists and ankles were exposed.
But when "Little Shadow" approached, everyone was still surprised.
Especially the eyes of Xiao An and Xiao Lian became inexplicably colorful.
There are surprises, doubts, thoughts, and sudden realizations.
No one moved quickly, they were all waiting for Mo Li to introduce this "new friend".
Yingfo's eyes were filled with amusement, and he could see that Mo Li revealed the identity of "Xiao Ying" here, which was somewhat meant to punish the other party.
As for the smiling Maitreya, Shadow Buddha also wanted to know what expression he would have under that mask.
Under the gazes of expectant eyes, "Xiao Ying" was not too restrained, but smiled a little apologetically.
Mo Li didn't speak, presumably because he wanted "Xiao Ying" to introduce himself first.
"Xiaoying" didn't dare to delay everyone's meal. When he was still four or five steps away from the table, he stood up and bowed.
"Daoyi Alliance, Tingyuge, Jiang Yichen, I have met you all.
"I have concealed my identity for several days. There are reasons for this. Please forgive me.
"At the same time, I am also grateful to you for taking care of me. I would like to thank you."
After Jiang Yichen introduced himself, Mo Li recounted the reason why he disguised himself as "Xiaoying".
After learning the whole story, everyone had different reactions.
The Smiling Maitreya and the Shadow Buddha are all in the posture of watching a show.
Bing Yi stood up first and invited Jiang Yichen to sit down. He said with a smile: "It seems to be fate. Last month, when I had a meeting with Deputy Pavilion Master Luo, we specially proposed to invite Brother Jiang to accompany us. But it didn't work. I couldn't have made such a mistake.
I went in and out by mistake, but I met you here."
Leng Mei had been living in Sanren's residence under the pseudonym Mo Li for several months. Meng Fang didn't know him very well, but he also knew that Mo Li was friendly to others, but he had never been as friendly as he was half an hour ago. It remains to be seen what the real identity of "Little Shadow" is.
When I was a man, I didn't know what kind of man could make the former number one female killer in the Demon Palace seem like a different person. The person I saw walking out of the house was actually the killer Ye Ye who shot through Tu Wanfang's chest that day.
Xiao, the original feeling of being deceived and tricked disappeared.
Nangong Hanyu clutched Mrs. Wanqi's lapel tightly, her eyes switching between Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen, full of longing and envy.
It seems that she also hopes to meet such a maverick and famous prodigal son, and become a romantic couple with him, and live happily in the world.
Mrs. Wanqi got the answer she had never understood from Leng Mei's hair, and showed a satisfied smile.
Xiao An and Xiao Lian were fascinated by what they saw and heard. Over the past few days, some of "Xiao Ying's" strange behaviors had troubled them more or less. Now that they finally had the solution, they couldn't help but talk.
"No wonder you always refuse us to apply medicine for you because the wounds on your back are scary."
"It's no wonder you don't always wash...wash with us, but hide away and wash yourself."
"Actually, your height is not quite right. My height is not unique in the dyeing workshop, but it is still at the forefront. If there are people who are the same height as me or taller, they should notice it, and they should be able to leave.
After the dyeing workshop, I felt very lucky that I had such an oversight."
"And she never puts on makeup, not even a little bit."
"They don't dare to sleep with us. They always find a place to sleep by themselves."
"Actually, if you hadn't snored, we should have discovered it long ago."
The two girls were like chirping magpies and could hardly stop.
Everyone listened with great interest, except Jiang Yichen who slowly lowered his head lower and lower.
Just when Jiang Yichen was wondering if he could dig a hole in the ground with his toes and hide in it, Shadow Buddha jokingly interrupted: "Okay, okay, after the ugly daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law, let's start dinner quickly, and the old couple will go into the house.
It’s time to rest, let’s not make any noise too late.”
Although he was teased, Jiang Yichen felt that Shadow Buddha's words were like the sound of nature, which rescued him from the embarrassing situation.
With a burst of laughter, everyone started to cheer.
