4089 First arrival in Xiangyang
"No F...it's okay." Under Lin Kai's joking eyes, Li He expressionlessly changed back to a modern "accent", looking at the "tramp" sleeping on the ground outside the Xiangyang moat, he raised his eyebrows and said
: "If you really can't find a guest room, it's fine if you stay in the open air. We're all used to it."
Ruoyuan thought he was just being polite.
Because countless thousands of people poured into Xiangyang City for the martial arts competition, it was obviously foreseeable that it would be overcrowded, and if you asked such a question, you must be someone who has a solution.
Isn’t it normal for a car to be used up and a place to live next to it?
It seems a bit pretentious to be polite at this time, right?
She had heard Li He mention it from the maid before when he was practicing martial arts, and she could tell that he was a man with no internal strength.
She thinks it's a bit pretentious to practice martial arts and boxing every day despite having no inner strength.
I'm still "pretending to be polite" here.
Ruoyuan felt dissatisfied and decided to teach him a lesson.
People should always be responsible for what they say, right?
Thinking of this, she stopped trying to persuade him and quietly waited for the other person to find a topic and come back for help.
As a result, she was surprised to see that as soon as the man who had no internal strength but practiced martial arts day and night finished speaking, the others actually stood up and bent down and walked out of the carriage.
After Li He got out of the car, he cupped his fists and said to Ruoyuan, who was staring blankly in the car window with big eyes: "Thank you very much, girl, for your kindness. I'll say goodbye after a few days of inconvenience."
After turning around, Lin Kai came over and put his arms around each other, winking and smiling at him: "Did you just get stiff again?"
Li He asked him expressionlessly: "Has the gold been released?"
Lin Kai patted his belt and said, "Don't worry, it's a big piece!"
Looking at the person who turned around and left after speaking, the maid said angrily: "What a rude person!"
However, Ruoyuan came back to her senses, and an interested smile gradually appeared on her face: "I thought he was a silly Taoist priest who was pretending, but I didn't expect him to be an interesting person."
The maid turned around and wanted to say something to the young lady, and glanced under the seats of the previous people.
There is a cloth bag there.
"Huh? Did they leave something behind?" She lowered herself and dragged the bag out, revealing a dazzling golden light inside the bag during the dragging process.
"Miss!" The maid opened her mouth and looked at Ruoyuan blankly.
Ruoyuan reached out and took out a piece of fine gold from the bag, estimated to be more than a dozen taels.
The maid fox asked: "Are Wudang disciples so wealthy?"
Ruoyuan shook her head: "Kung Fu belongs to Wudang, but people may not."
"But they even have seniority!"
"Perhaps it's just a name registration, after all, the style of conduct is very different from that of ordinary Taoist priests." Ruoyuan raised her head and looked at the group of people who were gradually moving away, and the smile on her lips became thicker: "What a group of interesting people."
Li He and others followed the flow of people along the bridge outside the west gate and entered the city through the moat.
In front of you is a lively and prosperous scene.
Grocery stalls can be seen from time to time on both sides of the road paved with blue bricks.
Going further in, there are more and more people. There is an endless stream of people walking in the street.
There are merchants doing business; gentry watching the street scene; officials riding horses; and hawkers carrying burdens.
There are family members riding in sedan chairs; traveling monks carrying baskets on their backs; tourists from other places asking for directions; and children in the streets listening and reading.
There are young people from wealthy families drinking heavily in restaurants, and there are also disabled old people begging on the edge of the city.
Men, women, old and young, scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants, all from the three religions and nine schools, were prepared for everything.
The reincarnators stopped and looked around, seeing that there were rows of different buildings and shops running along the streets in the city.
Teahouses, pharmacies, wine shops, restaurants, foot shops...
In the nearby store, you can see silks, jewelry, spices, incense, paper horses and other products.
In the distance, there are also medical clinics, car repairs, fortune telling, face shaping and plastic surgery, and various other industries.
Some large restaurants also have "Colorful Houses" outside their doors, and market banners are hung to attract business.
It's hard to imagine such a bustling street scene in this era.
Li He took another step, looking around as he walked. The ancient customs and culture filled his eyes, and he felt a sense of dizzying joy as he looked around.
Mr. Ning Xueren stroked his long beard, nodded meaningfully and sighed: "So it's this dynasty."
The stage for the martial arts competition is located in a large square in the north of the city center.
In order to avoid not being able to book a room as the maid said, everyone did not go further inside and found a nearby inn near the west gate.
Lin Kai walked to the front desk and asked the shopkeeper, who was lowering his head and dialing the abacus, "Are there any vacancies?"
The shopkeeper raised his head with a smile on his face and said apologetically: "The order has been sold out. I'm really sorry."
Lin Kai keenly realized that what the shopkeeper said was "booking", so he immediately put a piece of gold on the table and said with a smile: "Since it is a booking, it means that you haven't checked in yet. Can you move two rooms for me?"
When the shopkeeper saw such a big piece of gold, his face changed slightly, and his tone became more respectful, but he still said apologetically: "Guests, please don't embarrass the shop. You are also here to participate in the martial arts conference, right? You must know who is booking the room."
Who are these people that I cannot afford to offend?"
Lin Kai took out another large piece of gold and said with a smile: "You don't need to offend me. If someone makes trouble, let him come to me."
In the distance, someone squinted and secretly looked at this place. After looking at it for a while, he whispered a few words to the people around him, then got up and went upstairs.
As soon as the front door opened, the shopkeeper had a troubled expression on his face.
Li He stepped forward and grabbed Lin Kai: "Forget it, let's look for it again."
Just when the two were about to go out, someone came downstairs and said something in the shopkeeper's ear. After hearing this, the shopkeeper stopped them, ran a few steps to catch up and said softly: "Look, you are also the boss of the shop.
There is no other way to do it because it is full, but there is a Yangquzhu mansion in the city run by a big businessman, which is famous as a residence for dignitaries. Since the house price is slightly high, there may be some vacancies. If you are interested, a few of you are willing to show the way."
Lin Kai and Li He exchanged glances, grinned and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
The shopkeeper called someone to help look after the store and led a group of reincarnations to a large, unique and magnificent building in the center of the city.
There are even guards and welcome guests standing outside the door.
He stepped forward to negotiate for a few words and then turned around to greet all the reincarnations to come in together.
Inside the door is the lobby on the first floor, where guests eat. There are already many people sitting and chatting about drinking and eating. The guest rooms are located on the second floor.
The shopkeeper found the store owner, pointed at Lin Kai and the others and said something. The store owner nodded and came over to welcome Lin Kai. He smiled and said to Lin Kai, "Sir, do you want to stay in a hotel? Our store is expensive."
Lin Kai still followed the same old routine, taking out more than a pound of gold and playing with it in his hand: "Money is not an issue, as long as you have a room to live in."
The shopkeeper glanced at Jin Zi, smiled and stretched his hand to lead upstairs: "There are just a few upper rooms left. Please invite me here. How many rooms do you need for how many days?"
"If you want to open two stores, you can calculate the time according to ten days first. Any more money will be refunded or less money will be paid." Lin Kai handed the gold in his hand to the store owner and said, "First get some hot water and bring it to the room. We drove all the way.
Wipe your face."
"Okay! Your distinguished guest will be here soon!" The shopkeeper took the gold, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and an imperceptible light flashed through the cracks.
After a while, the room was packed up. Li He, Lin, Kai, and Ye An lived in one room, and Ning and his grandson lived in one room. There were two rooms in total, and the five reincarnators lived there.
After washing up for a while, Lin Kai and Ye An ran out to play, arm in arm.
It's called "surveying the terrain", but it's actually just shopping. The authentic ancient charm and customs are very fresh and attractive to them.
Li He and Ning did not join in the fun and stayed in their rooms to meditate and practice Qigong.
Time passed quickly and it was night, turning off the lights and going to bed.
