After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

The other men at the same table stopped drinking, and their eyes were focused on Li Yuanzhi and the four little ones.

All five of them felt their backs tighten and sweat break out.

The four little ones were so anxious that they gathered around Li Yuanzhi and shouted, "Dad!"

"Daddy!"

"Dad! Let us ask you, has the road been dug?"

Everyone around them looked away, and the sounds of joking and clinking fists and glasses were heard again.

Li Yuanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The digging is complete, we will leave early tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaohua's family reloaded on the mule cart and said goodbye to Hua Yonghe and his wife.

Mrs. Qin held Jiang Xiaohua's hand reluctantly and even shed tears.

"I don't know when we can see each other again after this farewell."

"Now that you know where our home is, you must come back and take a look when you are free in the future."

Jiang Xiaohua solemnly agreed.

Mrs. Qin just put two huge old pumpkins on their car, saying that they were grown at home, so Jiang Xiaohua must not dislike them.

Jiang Xiaohua couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept.

Qin and Hua Yonghe kept seeing each other off until the mule cart got on the main road out of the village. The couple stopped and watched Jiang Xiaohua's family drift away.

The mule cart successfully entered the official road outside the village. Wulong also followed and ran beside the frame cart.

As Li Yuanzhi drove the car, he said with emotion, "The previous village met bad people, and this village met good people."

"No one can predict the ups and downs of life."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, "Thanks to meeting them this time."

"Otherwise, not only will we have to sleep in the snow, but we may not be able to reach Huaishui County within two days."

Most of the snow on the road has melted, exposing the land in the middle of the road.

The mule cart travels much faster than in the snow.

That evening, under the afterglow of the setting sun, Jiang Xiaohua and her family entered the city smoothly.

In late winter, the weather is still very cold after sunset.

According to Jiang Xiaohua's previous plan, as long as she could enter the city that day, she would have to spend money to stay in a hotel.

You don’t have to worry about food and lodging expenses.

Jiang Xiaohua still had thirty taels of silver notes left on her body, plus five taels of broken silver and some scattered copper plates.

Even if she doesn't sell those valuable things for the time being.

Save some money, stay in a hotel that night, and continue on your way the next day.

In this way, it should not be a problem to support it to the capital.

Li Yuanzhi drove skillfully on the street, turning and turning again.

He explained, "We want to find a cheaper inn, not on the main street or close to the market."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, it seemed that the same principle existed in ancient times.

Housing prices in commercial districts are high, and accommodation fees in inns are naturally high.

While driving, Li Yuanzhi looked at the plaques passing by the roadside.

After walking down a few small streets, I saw three inns.

It's just that these three houses look dark from the outside.

There were almost no guests in the lobby, and the wine flags hanging out were also dirty.

Li Yuanzhi said that in such a shop, not only the mattresses and food are unclean.

It is also possible that because there are too few guests in the hotel, they may offer high prices to offload guests with foreign accents.

Liu Ming asked curiously, "Mr. Li is so experienced, has he stayed in many inns?"

Li Yuanzhi smiled and said, "Before I met you, I lived in an inn."

According to Li Yuanzhi's standards, small and medium-sized inns with bright and clean windows should be chosen.

It doesn't matter if the interior furnishings are simple.

Although the living conditions in this type of inn are not luxurious, they are cheaper and the rooms are simple and clean.

As night fell, the mule cart turned another corner and finally saw an inn that met the requirements.

It's a small facade with lights on in the lobby.

There were only eight tables, and customers at six of them were eating.

When you pass by the door, you can smell the faint aroma of wine and food.

Li Yuanzhi looked inside for a moment and said, "This is it."

The shop owner was sitting at the counter at the door and heard the sound of cars and horses stopping in front of his house.

He immediately rushed out to greet them, "Do the guests want to be escorted or stay in the hotel?"

Jiang Xiaohua had already jumped off the carriage first.

"We have to eat and stay in a hotel, but there is a special thing..."

She said, waving her hand behind her, and Wulong slowly walked out of the shadows.

When the shop owner first saw such a big wolf, he was so frightened that he took several steps back.

Jiang Xiaohua raised her hand and put it on Oolong, smiling gently at the shop owner, "This is our family's caretaker pet."

“I just don’t know if the boss can accept it into the store?”

"We will take it to live in the same room and keep an eye on it at all times so that it will not disturb other residents."

Huaishui County has a large area. As the only way to the capital, you can often see strange people and strange things coming from southwest, western Hunan and other places here.

For example, there are corpse driving in western Hunan, snake dance and spell performances in southwestern Hunan.

So the local people are also very knowledgeable.

The shop owner stared at Oolong for a while, confirming that the wolf was not vicious to people.

He met the wolf's eyes several times, but the wolf showed no intention of attacking.

The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out this is just a pet animal that I raised."

He asked curiously, "Are you artists who make a living by taming animals and juggling?"

Jiang Xiaohua was about to answer.

Li Yuanzhi was the first to say, "You can understand it this way."

"Our Oolong is very understanding of human nature. Otherwise, how could we dare to keep him by his side?"

The shop owner hesitated for a moment and turned to look at the inn lobby.

Then he waved quietly and said, "Follow me and enter through the back door."

Jiang Xiaohua and the children were all happy.

By saying this, the boss promised them accommodation tonight.

A group of people led the mule cart and walked out of this small street, followed by a narrow back alley.

The back door of the inn opens in the back alley.

The shop owner led the way and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that other customers will mind."

"So I still have to give you a hard time and take advantage of the fact that there are few people now and go directly to the guest room in the backyard to rest."

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I can understand."

"I don't want to disturb others and cause trouble."

Seeing that the customers were easy to talk to, the shop owner's tone became more enthusiastic and said, "Don't worry."

"I will tell you to leave tomorrow morning when there is no one in the yard."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a grunt.

Everyone fell silent and heard two loud grunts again.

Xiao Miaomiao pointed at Liu Guang's belly, "It's my second brother's stomach that's growling."

Liu Guang scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm a little hungry."

At noon they had a pot of old pumpkin and corn soup.

I feel full when I eat it, but this food is not as filling as meat.

By this hour, my stomach has long been digested and empty.

The shop owner smiled and said, "Don't worry if you are hungry, you will have something to eat as soon as you walk in."

He asked Jiang Xiaohua for her opinion again:

"When you guys move in, how about I deliver food and hot water directly to your house?"
