Little Egg looked at him, then knocked on the door of the inn and said.

"Madam, we are here to bring someone with us. Can you open the door for us now?"

But after knocking many times, no one opened the door, so Little Egg looked at the person who came with him to exchange and said.

"Maybe the innkeeper's wife has fallen asleep. How did you deal with the situation when the innkeeper's wife refused to open the door?"

He thought the man might ask him to go to another inn, where the two of them could stay for a while. When the landlady woke up tomorrow, they would go to the inn and take the exchanged person away.

But he didn't expect that the man who exchanged the stones asked him to stand aside and directly picked up the stones on the ground and banged them on the door of the innkeeper's wife.

"What's going on? We've been knocking on the door for a long time, but you, the innkeeper, don't want to open the door for us. Don't you want the money?"

The man's temper seemed very violent at this moment, and he almost wanted to smash a hole in the innkeeper's door. The person who was supposed to open the door hadn't come over yet, which made people very confused.

Little Jidan remembered that the last time he left the inn, there was not only the innkeeper's wife, but also another man. One of the two must have heard the knock on the door.

What's more, the man comes to the innkeeper's wife to exchange people every day, so he has to keep the door open at night. Today, no one came out after knocking for a long time, which seems very abnormal.

"Is there no other way to go? The innkeeper's wife and the other two may have fallen asleep in the room. No matter how hard we knock on the door, they won't be able to hear us."

The only reason Little Egg could think of was that they fell asleep. After all, it was impossible for them to deliberately not open the door for the two people just for the money.

The man knew that knocking on the door would be useless, so he threw the stone in his hand to the ground.

And because the noise they made by knocking on the door with stones was very loud, many neighbors were woken up by them, and some of them even opened their doors and cursed at them.

"There are so many inns here, why do you have to stay in this one? The proprietress hasn't opened the door all day, maybe the two of you are out."

Little Egg was a little surprised. It was not right that he hadn't come back for the whole day.

"Why don't we go in from another part of the inn."

He always felt that something was wrong in this inn.

Looking at the silent man, he finally walked to the door of the neighbor who had just opened the door.

"Then you know that the innkeeper and her family didn't stay in the inn all day. What did they do outside? Could it be that they were visiting relatives?"

If you go out to buy things, the neighbors here sell everything, and you can just buy the things from the innkeeper's wife. There is no need to go far to buy things, unless you are visiting distant relatives.

But the old man who was talking to him was obviously impatient.

"He acts like an innkeeper every day. He can't even see any of his neighbors. Can he tell us where he's been? I guess he's out having fun."

After telling him that he didn't know where the innkeeper's wife had gone, he went back to his room and warned Little Egg and the others not to knock on the inn's door again, otherwise their neighbors would join forces to tear down the inn.

Little Egg nodded. She had to stay in the inn, so she pulled the man who was about to knock on the door and talked to him.

"Let's go to the back of their inn and take a look. There may be a door there that we can go in."

The last time I stayed in an inn, the owner of that inn had a small courtyard behind the inn and a back door. Perhaps the innkeeper's wife designed it the same way as his.

So he pulled the man to the back of the inn, and sure enough, he found a small courtyard there.

"Now that you've found the door, you can go in. You don't need to knock. But you should be prepared that the innkeeper's wife is not in the inn."

They came to the innkeeper's wife today specifically to exchange people, but if the innkeeper's wife wasn't there, they wouldn't be able to call anyone, and they wouldn't be able to explain to the people who came to their side with the money to exchange people.

The two men opened the back door of their small courtyard. It looked quite clean on the surface, so the innkeeper's wife should also come to stay here.

"Now it's good to come in. Let's go to their comprehensive inn to see if the proprietress is still inside."

In fact, Little Egg suspected that the innkeeper did not go out for the whole day, but kept the door of their inn closed all day, causing everyone to think that they went out and did not open the door.

After the two men walked into the front yard, they found that there was no one there.

"That's not right. I'll go look in the room where the innkeeper's wife lives. I see there's a candle here that looks like it just burned out. There shouldn't be someone inside."

If the innkeeper's wife had gone out of their inn during the day, there would have been no need to light the candles, so they must have been lit at night.

If that's the case, it means there's someone staying in their inn all day, either the innkeeper or someone else.

When Little Egg ran to the room where the innkeeper's wife lived, he actually found a living woman lying inside.

"Miss, were you kidnapped here by the innkeeper?"

He walked to the bed of the innkeeper's wife, untied the rope that tied the girl, and then wanted to ask him, but he was worried that the person he exchanged with would know that he wanted to let him go, so he spoke in a low voice.

The girl looked like she was about to cry out of fright. The rope was untied, but he was still worried.

"Who are you? Are you the proprietress who knows the guests?"

He was still wary of Little Egg. After all, he just wanted to stay in an inn here, but was suddenly kidnapped. So he was very suspicious of everyone.

Little Egg shook his head and nodded. The innkeeper's wife could be considered his partner, but now, in a sense, the two of them were enemies.

"Don't worry, the innkeeper won't exchange you away. Now listen to me, there is a small window here. You will go down through the window later. Don't come to this inn again."

Because the people who came with him for the exchange were still staying downstairs in the inn.

If he lets the girl leave the inn directly, the person who exchanges her for her will not only suspect that he let her go, but will also arrest her, so he has to let her go now.
