Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 229 Trouble in the inn

"Make a wish. Should we go around Chengyang City this afternoon? It's a rare opportunity to come here."

Chen Biyun sat at the table and poured herself a cup of hot water. She took a sip and glanced at Xuyuan who was standing in front of the window.

"Okay." Xu Yuan stood in front of the window, looking at the street market which was already starting to get crowded with people. Various stalls were set up on both sides of the road.

After a while, a few guys came in carrying two bathtubs, and a few more came in carrying hot water.

Place the bathtub in place, use the screen to separate the two spaces, pour hot water into the two bathtubs respectively, and cover them with lids.

"Girls, please."

Then they all left the room.

"Biyun, go wash first, I'll watch here."

"Okay." Chen Biyun quickly took out the clothes to change from the cloth bag and went into the bathroom.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yuan locked the door and then took out the notebook he brought from the cloth bag.

Although I have already read it several times, I have nothing else to entertain myself at the moment, so I can only take a look at it first.

"Oh." Thinking of something, Xu Yuan sighed helplessly and took out another book of a different style. This was an enlightenment book for Guozi and Manyu.

How come I took the wrong one?

Hearing the movement of the cubicle door, Xu Yuan quickly put away his books and took out his clothes.

"Xuyuan, I'm done washing, you can go now." After cleaning up, Chen Biyun came out looking refreshed.

Chen Biyun muttered: "If it wasn't so cold here, I would have washed my hair too."

He also wanted to make a wish, so he didn't say anything and walked in quickly.

······

In the dormitory room.

The beds that could sleep ten people were lined up in a row. The room was dimly lit with only one oil lamp.

Everyone lay in bed, and the sound of water came from the compartment inside.

"Old Niu, is the road in Xihua Village easy to walk on?" Grandpa Liu leaned against the wall and asked Grandpa Niu who was lying in bed.

Uncle Niu closed his eyes and said, "It's a little winding, not hard to walk but not easy to walk."

"No problem." Uncle Liu yawned, then lay down and looked at Li Junyong who was sleeping with his head covered. "Junyong is sleeping really soundly. He's snoring."

"It's not easy to come out here, Lao Liu, you should go to sleep."

When Gu Qinghan came out of the cubicle, he heard snoring from someone sleeping outside. He sat down on the edge of his bed and looked at the two empty seats on the bed. Uncle Wang and Dad were not there, and he didn't know where they had gone.

Gu Qinghan ignored him and lay down on the bed. No matter how loud Li Junyong's screams were, it did not stop him from sleeping. He fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

When Gu Qinghan woke up, the light in the room became darker.

The door of the room creaked, and light from outside shone in. Li Junyong stood outside the door. "Qinghan, are you awake? I was going to wake you up. Come out and eat now."

"Ah."

The door slammed shut, and the room became dark again.

······

It's getting dark.

Apart from a few street lights, there were few people on the street.

The inn was brightly lit. There were several tables of guests dining in the lobby, and the sounds of drinking and playing finger-guessing games were very loud.

"Where's Qinghan? Hasn't he gotten up yet?" Village Chief Gu asked when he saw Li Junyong coming out alone with no one behind him.

Li Junyong sat down on the stool and said, "He's in the back and will be out soon."

"Well, let's eat first. Don't wait for him. Go to bed early tonight. We will go to Xihua Village tomorrow and then go back." Village Chief Gu saw that no one was eating, so he hurriedly greeted them. Then he looked up and saw Gu Qinghan walking towards him.

"I'm here. I've been waiting for you. Come and sit down."

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Looking around the table, Gu Qinghan was surprised to see that the only empty seat was next to Xu Yuan.

"Why are you standing there? Sit down quickly." Li Junyong pulled Gu Qinghan's sleeve, motioning him to sit down quickly.

"Yeah." Gu Qinghan glanced at Xu Yuan, and then quickly sat down.

Xu Yuan moved aside, leaving enough space for Gu Qinghan to sit down, and then began to pick up the dishes. After so many days of running around, he finally had rice, meat, vegetables, and soup. Village Chief Gu even wanted to have a pot of wine, but thinking of the itinerary tomorrow morning, he resisted.

Everyone ate their meal quietly.

"boom."

Not far away, there was a huge noise.

Everyone looked over there.

The table was full of food and wine that had been overturned and fell to the ground. Several big men were standing around, glaring at the middle-aged man who was still sitting on the stool. There were two other people beside him trying to persuade him.

"What the hell are you talking about? Do you believe that I will get you?" A burly man with an untidy beard and a red face, with a big knife hanging behind his back, pointed at a middle-aged man who was sitting there and cursed.

"Hahaha, what did I say? Hiccup..." The middle-aged man laughed and pointed at the man who was glaring at him, "If you dare to smash my place, he will deduct your wages, believe it or not."

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble. Harmony brings wealth. Harmony brings wealth." Shopkeeper Li heard the noise and hurried over to control the situation.

"Why can't I smash it? How much wages have you deducted from me? I tell you, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer tonight, I will fight with you. You bastard." The middle-aged man was drunk and fell to the ground without noticing. Lin Dashan picked up a bench and was about to smash it under him.

“No, no, no, let’s talk it over nicely…” Shopkeeper Li stood aside, unable to move forward. He was unable to do anything but stamp his feet secretly. The few waiters next to him shrank behind Shopkeeper Li, and none of them dared to step forward.

When the people around saw this, the timid ones had already hidden in their rooms, and those who stayed behind were just watching the fun, "Someone is going to die, report it to the police immediately."

"Brother, don't be impulsive..." When the stool was about to fall, Lin Ershun quickly stopped it, snatched the stool from Lin Dashan's hand, and threw it aside.

"Er Shun, why are you stopping me? This guy is really bullying honest people. If I hadn't given him a few more glasses of wine tonight, would we have known the truth?"

"Why? We work so hard to transport goods and do business with him, why does he unreasonably deduct part of our wages?" Lin Dashan was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked the middle-aged man again.

"Hahahaha... Why? If I'm not here, you're nothing. How can you still work with me? Just be happy!" Pan Gui, who was sitting on the ground, lay down on the ground, raised his head and laughed, loudly mocking the group of people in front of him.

"you···"

"Fuck it, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to beat you up first." Lin Ershun, who had been trying to persuade others not to cause trouble, let go of his eldest brother's hand, squatted down, and punched the man lying on the ground.

"Ahhh, someone is being beaten and is about to be killed. Is there any justice..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't, don't, don't..."

The scene instantly became chaotic.
