Of course, Li Mengzhou noticed the boss's attention for too long. Although he said that the black store was just a joke, it seems that it is really a bit of a black store here.
People in the martial arts world can judge whether a person has extraordinary abilities from his breath and style, but they cannot find out how strong this person is. The kind of person who does not need to do anything can tell at a glance that what is inner is the ability of a person who practices.
So although the boss thinks that Li Mengzhou, a boy, is not very simple, he will not think too high, after all, he is just a young man.
Of course, Li Mengzhou could also think that the boss lady in this store is not an ordinary person, but he could not know whether the boss lady is a martial arts master.
But it is always right to be vigilant in your heart.
The proprietress then put down the melon seeds in her hand, got up from the bench, and enthusiastically walked around the counter to greet her. At the same time, she smiled and said, "Our inn is fair and unrestrained. Looking at the entire Ninglu City and even hundreds of miles outside the city, it is also a well-known golden sign. The two guests who live in our place must be the best choice."
Li Mengzhou thought to himself that the boss lady was the same as the waiter. She bragged about her face and her heart was not beating. I came to your small broken shop because I wanted to save money. This kind of behavior of Wang Po selling melons and boasting is really ridiculous.
The boss's wife seemed a little embarrassed about Li Mengzhou's silence, and she also felt that she had said something too much. Mo said that the inn is remote and the lobby is quite messy. Various debris are piled up in the corners, and the ground is covered with melon seeds, which is really not very elegant.
Li Mengzhou was still thinking silently, if she knew that she didn't have much money, would she still be so enthusiastic?
But only looking at the surface, Ye Sangyu was wearing brocade silk, and Li Mengzhou's clothes were worth eight taels of silver. From the appearance, they didn't look like poor people, but they were just people who were too poor to be poor.
"Boss, how's your business recently?"
Li Mengzhou asked casually.
The boss's wife said without changing her face: "My inn business has always been good, and it's your luck, and there is only one room left."
Li Mengzhou smiled but didn't say anything. He didn't see a customer for a long time, and there was no movement on the second floor. What kind of business is good?
But he was really not interested in exposing the boss's wife. Ye Sangyu also asked at this time: "How much is the price for two days of stay?"
The boss lady replied: "If the guest stays in a hotel and adds three meals a day, it will be exactly one or two taels of silver."
Li Mengzhou frowned slightly, stared at the boss's wife, and said, "Ninglu is not a big city. Even if it is a brilliantly decorated inn, it will cost at most less than one tael of silver. This is still the environment of those inns. The dishes are high-end. Just like a restaurant, you can still pay one tael of price. Don't you think it's too much?"
After all, he didn't say too much. According to the environment in this inn, he was probably much better than the pigpen. There was only one waiter, but the price was the same as the top inn. I'm afraid that it was a real black store.
The boss's wife looked uneven and said, "The price has always been like this. I have also said that our inn is a golden sign. Don't look at the decoration of the outside house, but the service attitude is very poor. Of course, living in the inn is because of the remote home. You can live in a more comfortable place and a warm place like home. The price is not only not much, but I'm afraid it's also less."
Li Mengzhou slightly realized the boss's thick-skinned face, but he only had one tael of silver and a few copper coins in his pocket. Isn't it going to pay all the money?
Since I planned to earn some travel expenses in Ninglu City, of course it was impossible to live for one day and leave for two days. It was less than two days. If the price was so expensive, it would not be appropriate.
He didn't expect that he was already the worst inn he found in Ninglu City. The price for two days was comparable to that of the top inn. Could it be that he regarded himself as a fat sheep?
Li Mengzhou was thinking about whether to use strong means to scare the boss's wife, but the boss's wife suddenly changed her words: "If the customer really wants to live, the price is not impossible. One tael of silver will not change, but the customer can live for a few more days."
If you can stay for a few more days, although it will cost one or two taels of silver, the price has been reduced a lot, which is not unacceptable.
Moreover, Li Mengzhou was too lazy to go to another inn, so he could only take out a piece of silver from his waist and hand it to the boss's wife, saying, "I don't know how long I will stay. If it is not enough, I will make up for it."
The boss's wife was just a little bit, looked at Li Mengzhou and Ye Sangyu with a smile, took the silver and ordered the waiter to lead the two upstairs to see the house.
After going up to the east wing of the second floor, the waiter said goodbye and left. Li Mengzhou pushed open the door. The room was full of unspeakable smell, which was not stinky or rotten. And with a finger on the table in the room, it was stained with dust. I don’t know how long it has been since I lived in someone, so the key is that I won’t clean it.
Li Mengzhou suddenly felt that even if he could live for one tael of silver for a month, he would be a great loss.
But there is no way, the money has been paid, and you have to stay if you can't.
Dust floated in the room, Ye Sangyu couldn't help but coughed a few times, and hurriedly left the room again.
Li Mengzhou opened the window, looked at the bright moon gradually rising to the heights in the sky, and said to Ye Sangyu, "Do you think the boss's wife has some intentions? Why did she suddenly change her words and give us some cheaper?"
Ye Sangyu frowned and analyzed: "There is obviously no one in this inn. He is just to keep our only guest. Maybe he wants to ask for more money, but it seems that we are not rich people. He adheres to the principle that even if the flies are small, they are also meat. It is not unreasonable to be cheaper."
When Li Mengzhou saw Ye Sangyu's serious appearance, what he said was indeed reasonable.
Ye Sangyu suddenly changed the subject again, stared at Li Mengzhou's face, and said, "I see that the boss lady seems to be looking at you all the time. Although your face is a little dark, it looks reasonable. Maybe the boss lady has fallen in love with you and plans to keep you, and then climb onto your bed in the middle of the night."
Li Mengzhou's face suddenly became darker. Perhaps Ye Sangyu was too familiar with him and became more and more unruly. How could the little girl say such things?
But it's quite cute, and this is not a reason. Did the boss really like me? Want to take advantage of me?
Li Mengzhou shook his head, dispelled the unrealistic idea, and said, "Anyway, you are sleeping in bed, and it's not me. Even if the boss lady sneaks in in the middle of the night, at most she will be molesting you."
Ye Sangyu seemed to be scared, covered her mouth and said in horror: "This is so terrible."
Li Mengzhou walked out of the room and said, "I'll go find a waiter to clean it, otherwise I really can't live."
He felt that he should not say this by himself, and the waiter should clean it on his own, but obviously the other party did not have this wink.
When he went down the first floor lobby, the boss's wife was missing. Li Mengzhou did not ask, but just asked the waiter to clean the room and prepare to order food.
While agreeing, the waiter said, "The boss's wife is not here, the meal may be later."
Li Mengzhou was a little surprised and said, "Do you don't have a cook in the inn? You actually want the boss to cook in person?"
The waiter didn't hide it and said, "It was originally there, but because he couldn't get the wages, he ran away."
I really don’t know how this inn was opened, and what brings the same warmth to home. I’m afraid it’s a sense of inclusion for those poor and ignorant families.
Li Mengzhou sighed. He entered the world at the age of five. He experienced the miserable pain of a lonely lamp in the cold night. He snatched food from wild dogs in the cemetery. Although most of them were chased by wild dogs, his hands were stained with blood debts of human life. He was abducted and caught in a killer organization and escaped from death.
In this world of swords and swords, Li Mengzhou has experienced the loneliest years. Compared with his previous residence, the environment in this inn is like a paradise.
Of course he wouldn't care about these things, but he needed to go to the capital for travel expenses, so he would have to save money. If it weren't for bringing Ye Sangyu, he would rather live in a dilapidated temple than stay in an inn.
After all, he doesn't like killing people either, but in a dark place where human lives are like grass, he has to kill people because if he doesn't kill people, he will be killed.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Zhao Wuji and embarked on the path of martial arts, he would have probably been unable to bear the misery at the age of six and chose to leave this world.
After the waiter packed up his room and left, Ye Sangyu couldn't help but lie on the bed, exhaled, and shouted that he was exhausted.
Although Li Mengzhou felt a little tired, he did not choose to rest. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the floor, and the Qi was released around him, entering a state of cultivation.
When you reach the level of a master of martial arts, you will not be able to improve your cultivation by practicing boxing and hard work, but will enter a state of perception and skillfully use the qi to strengthen it. This is also a breakthrough in the spirit.
With his current strength, even Master Lei Ming cannot beat him, let alone truly reaching the peak of martial arts.
He always needs more ways to save his life, otherwise once he arrives in the capital, any person may be a practitioner, and it will be easy to kill him.
By the time Li Mengzhou opened his eyes from meditation, the sky had become completely dark. It was probably almost the hour of Hai, and it was obvious that supper time had passed.
Turning back, he saw that Ye Sangyu was gone on the bed. Li Mengzhou frowned slightly, got up, pushed open the door and walked out.
Before I could go downstairs, I heard a voice in the lobby.
Immediately afterwards, a tightly wrapped man walked towards the stairs. The width of the stairs was limited, so Li Mengzhou stopped and let the man pass by.
The man was a little short and could not see his face. He passed by Li Mengzhou and walked towards the west wing.
