Chu Chen Kee

Taking Su Qinyin down the street, I saw several scenes similar to those just now. Most of the slaves who were sold were prisoners of war and women from Guifang.

Finally, in a corner around a corner, they found an inn that was not very eye-catching.

The front of the inn is not wide, a simple counter with simple drinks on it, a fairly elegant woman leaning in front of the counter, holding a handful of melon seeds to tease the parrot in the cage hanging on the counter.

Seeing a visitor, the parrot immediately shouted in a somewhat funny tone: "Welcome, welcome..."

The proprietress cast a sidelong glance at the four of them, then threw the melon seeds in her hand into the cage, got up and patted the residue on her hands, and said casually: "There are three more guest rooms, including board and lodging, one tael a day."

"A tael of silver?" Su Xun raised her eyebrows. Even the best inn in Chang'an is only at this price. This woman dares to ask for such a high price, she is definitely not waiting for them to sit back and pay back the money.

Judging by her expression, it seems that she doesn't want this group of people to live in.

"If you think it's expensive, go out and turn right, there is a big inn." The proprietress gave them an angry look, seeming a little angry.

Bai Yi stepped forward and said gently, "Please give us three rooms."

The proprietress snorted, then looked back at Su Qinyin who was wrapped in shabby clothes, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, she turned around and went to the yard behind without saying anything.

Walking through a yard, there are a total of ten houses that are not wide, all of which are low-rise bungalows. The rough and simple architectural style is the most typical traditional style of Guifang.

"No, those three rooms." The proprietress pointed casually, and then said blankly, "Pay half of the deposit first."

Bai Yi looked in the direction of her finger and fell silent for a moment.

Those three rooms were all very small rooms with only one window, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen inside.

However, Su Xun was extremely smart. He took a step forward while supporting Su Qinyin's arm, and politely said to the proprietress: "We just rescued this girl from the slave owner. It's just a few of us." A big man doesn't have any clothes she can wear. If the proprietress is willing, can I buy some clothes for you? Look, the clothes on her are no longer wearable."

The proprietress was taken aback, then stared at Su Xun: "You said that this girl was rescued by you, isn't she your slave?"

Su Xun quickly waved his watch and said, "We are not that kind of people. We just looked at this poor girl and spent a few gold coins to save her life."

The proprietress seemed to be relieved, but at the same time she smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "I have clothes here, just change it for this girl. You go to the room to rest for a while, I will send someone to send hot clothes later." Water, wash this girl first, those people really don’t treat people as human..."

As he spoke, he seemed a little angry and a little helpless.

It was only then that Bai Yi came to his senses that the hostess, who was so jealous before, regarded them as the chief culprit for abusing Su Qinyin, so she gave them bad looks everywhere!

Somewhat funny and somewhat emotional, now under the rule of the Yue Clan, even if there are some people with conscience in Ulanda, they dare not blatantly protest their inhuman behavior.

After a while, the proprietress came in with a burly waiter carrying a large wooden bucket.

After turning the hot water to the right temperature, she enthusiastically took Su Qinyin's hand into the room, leaving the big men outside.

"Take off your clothes." After closing the door, the proprietress looked at Su Qinyin with a smile.

Su Qinyin's eyes suddenly showed a trace of fear, and then she stepped back like crazy, with her arms around her chest and kept screaming loudly.

"What happened?" Bai Yi and the others pushed open the door first, and saw Su Qinyin huddled in a corner, burying her head in her knees in fear, resisting the approach of the proprietress.

The proprietress looked helplessly and heartbroken at Su Qinyin who was squatting on the ground, and then sighed softly: "It's a good girl, what a pity..."

Bai Yi frowned slightly, and then smiled apologetically at the proprietress: "Since she doesn't want to take a bath, then don't force her."

Upon hearing this, the proprietress nodded lightly, left the clean change of clothes beside her and left.

"Wooooow...don't come here..." Su Qinyin hugged her head in despair, seeing through her messy hair that Bai Yi wanted to go over and help her up, she immediately cried out of breath.

Bai Yi stood still on the spot, looking at her in a dilemma.

Suddenly, I saw Su Qinyin laughing loudly again, and then stood up frantically, saying, "I'm going to find Xiaoyi... Xiaoyi is in danger..."

Then he sobbed softly: "I lied to him, he will definitely not believe me..."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Who is in danger?" Li Yuchen caught every word she said with sharp ears, and immediately stepped forward and tightly grabbed her wrist to ask.

If it was said that Su Qinyin knew another Xiaoyi and deceived him in the same way, Li Yuchen wouldn't believe it even if he killed him.

Su Qinyin stared at him blankly, and struggled like crazy after a while: "You are all bad guys, let me go, bad guys!"

"She is no longer useful." Su Xun observed for a moment, then concluded.

Su Qinyin was definitely not pretending, he could tell the difference between pretending to be crazy and really being crazy.

Hearing this, Li Yuchen let go of his hand unwillingly, and then looked at Bai Yi worriedly. Maybe the decision he made was wrong, and he should take Bai Yi away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"Be careful with the kids..." Su Qinyin muttered softly, then immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and looked around in fear.

"Watch out for what kid?" Li Yuchen asked.

It's just that Su Qinyin really shut up this time, and changed back to the way they were when they first met, and said nothing in a daze.

"Jin'er, come out, it's time to eat." The proprietress knocked on the door of a room in the yard outside.

After a while, a thin child came out of it.

The child was about nine or ten years old, and the skin on his face was extremely pale, but his eyes were bluish-black, as if he hadn't slept well for a long time.

After the child went out, he looked at Li Yuchen's room with a blank expression on his face, then stepped forward and took the proprietress' hand and walked to the front hall.

"That child..." Su Xun's voice was a little dry.

For some reason, after being stared at by that child, he felt a creepy feeling.

Maybe at such a young age but with such calm and terrifying eyes?

Li Yuchen's handsome face sank slightly, revealing a trace of cruelty: "Whatever his child is, as long as he kills them all!"

Bai Yi frowned slightly. He felt a little uncomfortable after being glanced at by that child just now.But when he heard Li Yuchen's harsh words, he still gave him a glare.

Even if the child looks weird, it shouldn't be an excuse for him to kill innocent people at will.

Li Yuchen could only look back at him aggrieved, like a large beast that has been wronged, almost pounced on him and begged to be hugged and petted...

"Didn't you say board and lodging is included? Let's go eat too." Seeing the ambiguous interaction between the two, Su Xun didn't point it out, but changed the subject.

Only then did Bai Yi come to his senses, there were two outsiders beside him!

Then he turned around in embarrassment and went to the front hall.

Li Yuchen immediately chased after him, and at the same time, he didn't forget to turn his head and give Su Xun a big blank stare, mind your own business!

Su Xun touched his nose unconsciously, did he feel disgusted?

In the front hall of the inn, there was already a table of meals.

Basically, they are the special dishes of Guifang. There are a few dry and hard baked buns, but the size is not small. They are all as big as a plate, two or three inches thick.

There is a large pot of roast lamb in the middle, and there are several shiny and sharp silver machetes beside it, which are specially used for slicing lamb from the roast lamb.

There is also a large bowl of sauce on the side, you can match the taste according to your own preferences.

What made Li Yuchen most greedy was the bottle of spirits that had been opened on the small table.

He has never drank, but he has always been hungry.

Bai Yi is a person who doesn't drink alcohol, but Li Yuchen likes the mellow taste of wine very much, but Bai Yi keeps telling him that drinking is a mistake, so he can only watch from a distance and dare not try it.

"Do you guys want to try it? This is the fine wine from the Western Regions, which is rarely available in the Central Plains." The proprietress smiled and brought up several wine glasses and said, "There is a poem among you called the luminous cup of grape wine. It must be matched with this luminous cup."

Bai Yi and Li Yuchen glanced at each other, and there was a flash of strangeness in their eyes.

Su Xun who came out from behind laughed when he heard the words, and said, "The proprietress is so kind, how can I refuse?"

He casually picked up an exquisite cup and watched it for a while, then asked inadvertently, "Is this your son?"

The smile on the landlady's face remained unchanged, she lined up the glasses in her hands, filled them with blood-red wine one by one, and said, "Yes, this is my son, named Jin'er. He has been weak and sick since he was a child, and has been very sick Don't go out."

"That's a pity." Su Xun sighed, then lowered her head to tease the child, "Little guy, what's your name?"

The child raised his head, staring straight at Su Xun with big watery eyes, but without any expression.

Seeing this, the proprietress smiled slightly and said, "Jin'er can't understand Chinese."

Then when he was about to pass the wine on the table to Bai Yi and the other two, he realized that the two people over there had already started eating at some point.

Li Yuchen nimbly waved the two silver knives in his hand and cut the freshest and tender part of the roast lamb into moderately thick slices as quickly as lightning. In front of Baiyi: "Yi, try it. Although it's not as delicious as mine, it should be okay."

Bai Yi looked at the slanderous guy in front of him speechlessly, then tasted the roast lamb in front of him, smiled and turned to the proprietress and said, "It's delicious, thank you for the hospitality."

Li Yuchen also started to move, and soon wiped out most of the roast sheep like a storm.

The proprietress was stunned, and after a while, she cleared her throat and said, "Guests, try this bar."

Su Xun turned her head and smiled lightly: "Speaking of which, why does the proprietress know that we are from it?"
