Chapter 402

"Boss lady! I'm here!" A young servant rushed out from the backyard, with a faint smell of alcohol on his body, his face flushed and he stammered, "Come on, are you here?"

The proprietress raised her foot and kicked her, her tone was irritable, "You little bastard, you only came out after yelling for a long time, is this old lady not going to please you?"

"No... I have a stomachache. There are three urgencies..." The boy scratched his head anxiously, but luckily the proprietress didn't really care about him.

"Okay, you go and order the kitchen to cook a table of dishes, and I will take a few guests to my room."

Interrupting him with a look of disgust, the proprietress turned around and put on a smiling face again, "Do you guys have anything you want to eat? But let me tell you in advance, as you have seen, the small shop is simple and simple, and it is not easy to buy supplies. It's convenient, I'm afraid there are no such delicacies." She spread her hands with a helpless expression.

She looks like she's in her 20s, but sometimes she acts like a girl.

"Anything you want is fine." Yue Li Su said with a cold look on his face.

The proprietress glanced at him, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That works!"

She turned around and explained a few words to the extremely shy boy, and waved, "Let's go, show some of you the room!"

A group of people walked upstairs. The stairs were tall and narrow, and looked extremely dangerous. Only one person could pass through at a time, and they just stepped up.

"Cough cough cough..."

"crunch..."

The sound of coughing one after another was intertwined with the sound of the wooden stairs shaking.

The proprietress was not obvious just now, but now a group of people walked up, although they tried their best to keep their movements light, but the weight was there, and the stairs hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and a large cloud of dust was instantly raised when they stepped on it. The choking person coughs straight.

"Miss Boss, how long has it been since you cleaned this place?" Wan Bi spoke bluntly, and asked everyone's doubts.

The proprietress looked embarrassed, and said haha, "The last time I cleaned... it seemed to be last month, haha."

"What?" Concubine Rou's tone was unbelievable, "You open the door for business, and you don't even do basic hygiene well, and you still expect guests to come?"

The proprietress covered her heart and sighed, "There's no other way, as you can see, my small shop is located in a remote place, and apart from the customers, very few people usually come to stay in the shop."

She walked in front and gave Ming Xi a hand behind her.

"If there is no business here, I can't make money, and I can't afford to hire extra people to clean it. I'm a lazy person myself...you can just make up for it."

Crowd: ...

With such a proprietress, it is not surprising that the business is deserted.

Ming Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened her mouth and pointed to the top of her head, "Then what about the roof if it rains at night?"

The proprietress glanced at her unexpectedly, followed her finger, she was silent for a moment, her face showed annoyance, "Look at my memory, I planned to have the roof repaired last time, but it has been delayed until now, I can only wrong you for the time being.”

"What's the big deal, when it rains at night, take a wooden basin to catch it under, what do you think?"

She spoke in a deliberative tone.

Crowd: ...

Do they have a choice?

"Madam proprietress, the purpose of opening a shop is to make money, so why didn't you choose a prosperous place to open a shop in such a barren mountain?" Chu Jieyu's gentle voice sounded, "Besides, you are a woman, a People are not afraid in this kind of place?"

Everyone felt reasonable and nodded.

"Hey, you don't know something!" The proprietress waved her hands and sighed, "I have some background, and opening the door to do business is just a hobby. There are also a few..."

Her tone was low, as if joking, "My face, when I'm in a crowded place, shouldn't I scare others? Especially facing other people's strange eyes, it's better to be here."

"As for the safety issue, I dared to drive it, so naturally I don't worry about it."

She smiled, with a somewhat arrogant look on her face, as she spoke, her feet were not steady, and she staggered, Ming Xi had sharp eyesight and quickly supported her.

"Miss Boss, be careful."

The boards are in disrepair and have some loose spots.

"Hey, thank you little girl." She held Mingxi's hand and smiled.

"This is our wife." Lu Yao corrected with a frown.

The proprietress glanced at Ming Xi in surprise, and then at Yue Li Su, as if she understood something, teasing flashed in her eyes, "Then... thank you, Ma'am."

"Here, the room is here, you can choose it yourself."

A figure approached beside her, accompanied by a cold breath, the proprietress subconsciously let go of Mingxi's hand and moved away, she glanced at the two standing together, her eyes moved slightly, and she looked away, "You can go first Rest for a while, I'll go down and have a look at the back kitchen, and I'll call you when the food is ready."

Everyone chose their own room and entered the room one after another.

After the door closed, Ming Xi dragged Yue Li Su to walk in, looked around cautiously, and spoke in a low voice.

"This inn is weird."

Yue Li Su slightly raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Oh?"

Ming Xi frowned, "First of all, as soon as I entered the door, I felt that something was wrong. The inn has accumulated a thick layer of dust. Open the door for business. Even if the business is deserted, the inn should be tidied up brightly and cleanly."

"Also, the proprietress is full of flaws everywhere, not to mention how a woman like her can stay in such a remote place, she put rouge on her face, because she knew in advance that someone was coming, of course it is not ruled out The proprietress loves beauty and dresses up all the time, but this is not in line with what she said before that she is lazy."

Ming Xi pursed her lips, anyway, she herself didn't like to dress up all the time, unless she was going out or meeting someone.

Yue Lisu stared at her seriously thinking expression, the corners of his lips slightly lifted.

"And when she went up the stairs just now, she almost stepped on the air. We didn't know that the stairs were loose, but as the proprietress, it was impossible for her not to know, but judging from her reaction at that time, she really didn't know. , which is unlikely."

Ming Xi shook her head, "The most important thing is that she grabbed my hand just now, and I felt a thin callus in her palm, as if it was formed by holding something all year round... All I can think of is the sword, she is People who practice martial arts!"

She looked up at Yue Li Su.

She can see these flaws, and it is impossible for the other party not to see them.

"The analysis is good." His thin lips moved slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up in a pleasant arc.

Ming Xi was stunned, and asked with a small face raised. "When did you see it?"

He raised his eyes, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, "When that boy came over, there was a very faint smell of blood on his body."

Ming Xi's pupils shrank.

No wonder his expression was so ugly at that time.
