Chapter 578: Encountering injustice when staying in a hotel

Look, I gave the bucket to this doctor, and he was so grateful that he knelt down and thanked him profusely.

It's already late, we have to go to the prince's mansion. We can only stay in this town for one night. There are also inns in the town, although there are only one or two, but they are enough to stay. The two found the inn closest to the road and submitted a letter to Yuelai Inn. After going in, they planned to have two houses. When the shopkeeper saw the guest, he hurried out to greet him and asked first, "Do you want to eat or stay?" Li Kaiyang said. "We are here for accommodation and want two nice houses."

The shopkeeper had an embarrassed expression on his face and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, uncle, our place is full. You and this lady should go to the other living rooms to have a look! If you are hungry and want to go there, If you want to have a meal here, the shop still has something ready. But there are so many people staying these two days, and we can’t do anything about it. If you came here in the morning, there might be one or two berths, but now that you come here, there are no more."

Li Kaiyang was quite nervous when he heard about this accommodation, which was beyond his expectation. He originally wanted to find a place for us to stay for the night, but Gu Xueying tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Let's take a look elsewhere. If we can't find a place to live, The place is not far from the fishing boat, we might as well go back."

Li Kaiyang thought so. Although they didn't want to disturb the boatman anymore, they could live in their own small boat for one night, but no one wanted to turn back. They had left his place and didn't want to go back.

After leaving Yuelai Inn, I went to another place to look for a house. After entering the inn, it turned out to be a bit deserted. There were no people eating first. There was only an old man cleaning the place, and he put the tables and chairs on the benches. They were all wiped clean, and when guests came, he greeted them with a smile. When he spoke, his voice was so old that it felt like you couldn't finish what he said. He said, "Are the two guests here to stay at the hotel?"

Li Kaiyang nodded and said: "Of course, I come here to stay in a hotel. I don't know if the store has any vacancies."

The old man didn't answer him immediately. He held the broom in his hand and thought for a while and said: "Yes, the upper room is gone, but there is one room. It is empty. There is only one bed in the house. It's just too long." No one has lived here for a long time, so if you really can’t find a place, you can live here.”

After the old man finished speaking, he carefully observed their expressions. When Li Kaiyang heard that there was only one house, he couldn't accept it. After all, he and Gu Xueying had not yet gone to the church to get married, and it was not etiquette to live together rashly, so he wanted to refuse, but Gu Xueying stopped him and said. "Don't leave, let's take this house. It's better than living on a small fishing boat."

Since he was willing, Li Kaiyang stopped refusing and agreed to stay. The old man was very happy and quickly helped them clean the house. The two of them wanted to take a look at what this house was like. It must have been very dirty after no one had lived in it for a long time, so the two of them walked into the house. Sure enough, there was dust everywhere, and even though there was a bed, it was also dilapidated. Both of them shook their heads at the same time. Li Kaiyang said, "Did you see that?" ? Why not go back to the small fishing boat and see if it can be lived in?"

The old man didn't care that they kept cleaning, sweeping the floor, wiping the dust on the furniture and bed with a cloth. After some tossing. The room was indeed as clean and tidy as new. Gu Xueying said to him, "You said it's okay to clean this room. Why is it always unoccupied?"

Of course Li Kaiyang didn't understand either. He wanted to ask the old man, but seeing that he was very slow to speak, he might as well not ask if he took the trouble, so he didn't say what was in his heart. The two of them went through the check-in procedures and paid ten The old man shook his hand and said, "No, no, one tael for you one night is enough. We will also send you a meal in the morning."

While talking, he held the piece of silver in his hand and sent it back. Li Kaiyang wanted to give him ten taels of silver. He always spent generously because he did have enough silver taels on him. Look at this pitiful old man. Although he opened a shop, he still had no money. He didn't seem to have much money, and his clothes were very tattered and still had patches, so he wanted to take this opportunity to give him some help, but the old man refused to accept it. He held the money in both hands and handed it to Li Kaiyang. He refused to accept it, so Li Kaiyang had to give the money to him. Take back.

He felt from his pocket again and found that except for the smallest ingot, there was no broken silver. Then he threw the piece of silver to the old man. Just accept it. I don't have any broken silver, I said. "The guest will stay here for one night, and we don't need any money." Unexpectedly, the old man was so generous, which greatly exceeded Li Kaiyang's expectations. He lived here and didn't give people money for accommodation, and he felt bad about it. Suddenly Gu Xueying thought of a way, she said: "Where is your lightsaber? If you remove a piece of it, it will be just a piece of silver."

Of course, this is a piece of cake for Li Kaiyang, but he doesn't want to show it in front of others. But today's situation was different. The old man was determined not to give him pieces of silver. He could only slowly stretch out half of the lightsaber from his palm, and then gently chipped the piece of silver into a thumb-sized piece. A piece of silver fell down, and then Li Kaiyang pinched it on his fingers again. A round piece of broken silver was formed. He put the broken piece of silver on the table and said to the old man, "Old shopkeeper, this piece is enough."

The old man saw this operation in his eyes, it was very exciting. Just now he just waved a piece of silver and dropped it. What kind of skill was this? No matter what, he always had the broken silver. He weighed it happily in his hand, then nodded and said, "Okay, okay, this piece is enough for two taels, so you two guests can check in with peace of mind, my dear." The second child definitely takes good care of me.”

Next, the old man brought the brand new bedding to the room where they lived. Of course, he thought that Li Kaiyang and the others were a couple, so he did not shy away from it and directly put the two sets of bedding on the same bed. Li Kaiyang thought to himself, why don’t I do this? We can't share the same bed with sister Xueying. If she stays on the bed, I'll stay under the bed. If he stays under the bed, I'll stay on the bed. In short, we have to sleep separately this night. Naturally, the old man won't think about these things about them. He will finish handling what he has at hand. He happily took the two taels of silver back to his counter.

At night, after Li Kaiyang locked the door, the two of them prepared to rest. Gu Xueying said, "You stay on the bed and I stay on the floor."

Li Kaiyang thought that was not possible, so he said resolutely, "Sister, you can't do this. I am a man and can sleep anywhere. The delicate yellow girl must sleep on the bed."

Gu Xueying felt that there was no point in arguing with him, so she accepted it graciously, but she said: "The ground is too hard. You pull down the mattress on the bed. You lay down the mattress and I will sleep on the bed board."

Doing so is also a way to neutralize. Although Li Kaiyang couldn't bear it, he was unwilling to go against Gu Xueying's suggestion. So the two of them followed suit.

They slept soundly all night. Someone shouted early the next morning, wondering what had happened. Li Kaiyang and Gu Xueying ran out to take a look. There were many people surrounding him in a room next to him. They didn't know what was going on, so they ran over to watch the excitement. They looked through the crowd and looked in, which shocked them.

There is one hanging on the rafter. The person's body was still swinging back and forth, and a three-foot-long white silk was tied to the beam. The person looked terrible, with his tongue sticking out and his eyes bulging outwards. The appearance of his death was extremely terrifying. Did this person commit suicide or was killed? , anyway, he committed suicide by hanging from the beam.

The old shopkeeper quickly rushed upstairs. When he saw this situation, he quickly called his guys, please go and report to the police, saying that there was a murder case here. The shopkeeper is quite skilled at this. The order was carefully thought out, and every detail was missed, and the young men under his command were arranged in a clear and logical manner. Moreover, the old shopkeeper was calm and composed. Although he looked old, he handled things very quickly. This was beyond Li Kaiyang and Hu Xueying's expectations. They thought the old shopkeeper would panic, but the expression on his face was very relaxed. Could it be that things like this happen often here?

Li Kaiyang thought that it was not a problem. Whose store often had such hangings? Gu Xueying said, "I think it's a bit strange. Look at their store. When encountering such a thing, they don't panic at all. From the store manager When I work as a waiter in these stores, I feel like I’m familiar with the road.”

Soon someone from the government came. He put the body down, inspected it, and then put it in a bag and took it away. This is quite strange, and those tolerances are not surprising. And everything he said was polite.

The old shopkeeper saw off these officials and went to clean the room himself. These travelers staying in the hotel were all frightened and in the same situation as Li Kaiyang. They were staying here temporarily, maybe because they were going to a big city ahead and they couldn't go there because they got off the ship too late, so they stayed here temporarily. This was the first time they had seen such a terrifying scene, so they gathered together in groups and whispered.

Li Kaiyang said: "Let's not worry about this. Let's have breakfast quickly and let's set off."

So the two of them packed their bags and went downstairs, found a table, and prepared to eat something before leaving. The old shopkeeper came up to entertain them and said, "We have free meals this morning. What do you two guests want to eat? I'll let the younger ones prepare it."

Just at this moment, a woman ran in from outside the house and cried loudly. She grabbed the shopkeeper and was about to beat him. Li Kaiyang saw that this was too outrageous. A young woman came in. Her hair was unkempt, but she could not hide it. Beautiful color. It seemed that after he dressed up, he looked like a beautiful woman. Why did she come to this old man in this state? The shopkeeper looked pitiful as he pushed him to the ground. His arms and legs were shaking, but from his eyes you could see that he was firm and calm. In fact, he was not afraid at all. All these actions were just an act. of.

Li Kaiyang winked at Gu Xueying. They both felt the same, and the woman cried and said. "You killed my sister and I'm not done with you."

Two young waiters came over, pulled the woman away, and then pushed her out. Li Kaiyang and Gu Xueying knew there must be something fishy, ​​so they quietly followed her out to see what was going on with this woman.

Gu Xueying originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business. But now looking up at this poor woman, she was also a little tempted. His accusation against the shop owner showed that there was an untold story behind it. When the two men left his shop, they saw the woman being dragged to a corner and beaten up by the two men. The two waiters were still punching and kicking them, and they couldn't help but curse. "You, a stinky bitch, refused to pay us the store fees and asked your sister to pay off the debt. Isn't this treating you leniently? You still come back to make mischief."

The two waiters showed no intention of stopping until they beat the woman until she fainted. After Li Kaiyang and the others saw it, they rushed over quickly. Now I don't care about the consequences. Li Kaiyang went over and grabbed a waiter, pushed him aside, and angrily scolded them, "What are you doing? How can you beat someone casually and beat her like this?"

As soon as the two waiters met, they knew the guest officer, and their attitude immediately changed. He said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't know that this woman is too difficult to deal with. He owes us electricity money. Not only will he not pay, He also frequently makes trouble in the store. He has a backer, and I heard he is related to bandits, so don’t sympathize with him."

After the waiter finished speaking, he left in despair. Gu Xueying quickly helped the woman up, filled him with water, and pressed him again. Only then did he regain his breath. When he saw two strangers, he wowed. He burst into tears and said, "What do you care about me? Just let them beat me to death. My sister was harmed by them, and I don't want to live anymore."

Li Kaiyang asked him: "What is going on, your sister? Which one is your sister?"

The woman said sobbingly. Just "That's the one who hanged herself, that's my sister."

When Li Kaiyang heard this, he realized that it was the woman who hanged next door to them. The woman continued, "It's useless to tell you. You should leave quickly."

Li Kaiyang thought to himself, if you tell me why it's useless, it's just that telling me is useful. Only if you have something difficult can I help you. If you tell others, it may not be useful. He then comforted the girl, "Don't be afraid. If you have any difficulties, just tell us. If I can help, I will help to the end."

In order to calm the girl's heart, he took out a piece of silver from his arms, gave it to her and said: "I'll give you this little silver. You buy some clothes to freshen up first, and if you have any difficulties later, we will help you vent your anger." "

Gu Xueying was also involved now. He didn't want to help but he helped. Now he was completely aligned with Li Kaiyang and wanted to help this poor woman. When the woman saw others giving money, she knew they were sincere. Immediately kneel on the ground and kowtow to them. Gu Xueying quickly pulled her up and asked her what was going on. Before he could speak, suddenly a puff of smoke floated in the air. The smoke was red. Li Kaiyang was very surprised, where did this smoke come from? Just when he was wondering, his head felt a little dizzy, and he couldn't control it and fell to the ground.
