The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. He greeted the two of them with a friendly look on his face.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

He didn't seem surprised by the dirt on the two men. "Did something bad happen to you two just now?"

Bad things? Sandstorms, I guess.

Jiang Yue nodded but said nothing.

When the other party saw that the man driving the coach didn't say anything, but the young lady reacted, he seemed even more surprised than before.

He then adjusted his expression and lamented the natural disasters and man-made disasters, and how difficult life is.

Jiang Yue and the other person didn't respond, which obviously made him very embarrassed.

He said gently, "It's sad for you. The next city is still quite a distance away. If you continue forward, there's an inn that's quite good. You can rest for a while."

Jiang Yue asked, "Are you from the inn?"

You are promoting your product so obviously, are you afraid that others won’t know?

The man shook his head and said, "I'm just their guest, not a servant there."

He didn't say much, acting as if he was just casually recommending a good inn.

Seeing the carriage quickly rushing in front of them, Jiang Nian patted the mule's butt lightly and said, "Look at Brother Ma, he's so majestic and so fast."

The mule neighed and snorted.

I don't mind that you are poor, but you mind that I am slow.

Jiang Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking deeply, "Yueyue, this guy's smile is too fake."

"Yes." He was much worse than a modern salesman. His words were stiff and not professional at all.

"So should we still go there even though we know there's a problem?"

"Why should we bother ourselves? We can just not go in. Do you think we can force customers to come in?"

Forcing customers to come is not doing business, it's banditry.

That being said, they were walking the same path, and meeting was inevitable.

…

Lao He drove his carriage to Guijia Inn.

The innkeeper lazily sat on the doorstep, his eyes slightly raised, "Old He, passing by again?"

"Yes, I went to Yuncheng and saw that there were a lot of refugees there."

The guy yawned. "What's the use of having so many over there? They're all intercepted by the town. Damn it, sooner or later they'll be taken in!"

Lao He was in a hurry to go back and didn't want to talk to him anymore. "I just saw a pair of mandarin ducks on the road. You guys set up a game, right? I lured them here. Don't forget to keep a record for me!"

After saying this, he did not get off the carriage but walked forward.

"Pfft..." The tail of the carriage kicked up a lot of dust. The waiter turned around and shouted inside, "Old Wu! Are you digging a hole again?"

A short man came out and scratched his head. "I didn't dig! No one has been here for a while. It's all beggars who can't squeeze any oil. I was just lazy."

"What's wrong?"

The guy stood up, looked into the distance, and raised his lips, "A guest is coming."

Lao Wu's expression changed instantly. "Oh? How did it come about?"

"Don't care how he got here, once he's here, he can't leave!"

There is no return, this is what it means to go home.

Jiang Nian was driving and felt a little bored. He looked at the corner of the inn that gradually appeared in front of him.

"It seems bigger and newer than the inn in the small town."

Jiang Yue looked gloomy, "I've already developed a negative impression of this inn."

But there was really no other way. In ancient times, the only places to rest were tea stalls and inns.

In the past, inns ripped off their guests, but now they rip off people.

Passing by the inn, she looked up and said, "Home Inn." Which home? Her hometown?

A guy at the door waved at them with a smile on his face, and his smile looked much more sincere than that of the shill.

"Would you like to come in and rest? There's no more room to rest up ahead."

Jiang Yue glanced at him and said, "No need."

The guy's smile didn't fade, but it widened even more, as if he was certain they would come back.

Jiang Nian was alert and kept an eye on all directions, but everything seemed calm and nothing happened.

At this moment, the mule's front legs gave way, and the car overturned due to inertia. Jiang Nian hugged her and jumped out of the car at the last moment.

With a bang, the mule fell to the ground, neighing.

The two men were fine, but the mule cart fell apart.

Jiang Nian untied the mule's rope. Jiang Yue examined it with concern. The mule's front leg was injured and bleeding, but fortunately it was not broken.

Jiang Nian looked at the ground. There were traces of digging holes, but they were all small holes covered with soil. The car was driving so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.

I have to say, this method is not very clever, but it is useful enough.

Those who were stopped were all people with cars.

Jiang Yue was filled with anger and looked back at the inn, determined to make them pay the price.

The clerk sat on the doorstep, watching the overturned carriage in the distance, and muttered to himself, "I told you to come in and rest for a while, why did you have to ask for trouble?"

Jiang Yue and his friend walked back slowly, leading the mule. The waiter smiled and said, "Ten pancakes for one room in the upper room."

She took out a bag of beans from Jiang Nian's backpack, threw it into his arms, raised her chin, and said arrogantly, "That's all, do you want it?"

The waiter took the beans without changing his attitude and said, "Thank you for the tip, of course I will give you some."

Lead the mule to the shed in the backyard.

The waiter said, "A bucket of water costs ten taels of silver."

Jiang Yue looked at the locked well, sneered, then took out a jar of water and two steamed buns from her backpack, put them in front of the mule, and touched its head.

"Be good, eat quickly. Although you are a beast, you are different from other beasts. You are a good beast..."

She kept calling the mule a beast, successfully changing the man's expression. He gritted his teeth and watched the mule eat steamed buns and drink water, his stomach turning sour. He couldn't even live as well as a beast!

Damn it!

The waiter's expression began to change. Jiang Nian stood next to Jiang Yue and looked down at the waiter.

He realized he should calm down and put on a smile again.

"Please come upstairs, my guest."

The two of them went upstairs. This inn was indeed much better than the ones in the small town. It had all the necessary tables, chairs, and beds, and they were all painted with tung oil.

The boss behind the scenes is not short of money.

Jiang Yue's window faces the official road.

"This one won't do. I need another one that overlooks the backyard. My mule was injured by a beast, so I need to keep a close eye on it."

The guy lowered his head and endured it, "Okay, I'll change another one for you."

The guy took them around a corner.

Jiang Yue opened the window facing the backyard, so she could see the mule clearly. She nodded in agreement.

"It's noon now. Would you two guests like to eat?"

"Need not."

"You two are exhausted from the journey, do you need some water?"

"Need not."

After being rejected several times in a row, the guy's expression, which he had managed to maintain, began to crack, and he clenched the rag in his hand tightly.

Jiang Nian asked him to leave the room and then closed the door mercilessly.

"Bang!"

The guy snorted coldly, turned around and went downstairs. It’s better to be more arrogant. The more arrogant you are, the richer you are.

Now that you're in the inn, how can you escape?
