There is only one bed in the firewood room. Ah Tao and green sleeve want to give the bed to Jiang Weiwei to sleep. They just make do on the stool for one night.
Jiang Wei disagreed. At last, under her strong request, ah Tao and green sleeve had to take off their coats and climb to bed.
The bed is not big. Fortunately, the three girls are very slim. They can barely sleep when squeezed.
After a day's drive, the three were already tired and soon fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, I suddenly remembered shouting outside.
Three girls were awakened.
They sat up, crept into the bed, pushed open the window and looked out. They saw two young and strong men dragging people outside by the skirt of the innkeeper.
The landlady ran behind with her son and daughter. They cried and shouted.
"Two strong men, please, spare our masters! I cooked the food. If you want to catch me, catch me. It has nothing to do with our head of the family. Sobbing! "
On hearing this, the two young men stopped.
One of them directly pulled out his waist knife, pointed the tip of the knife at the landlady and angrily asked, "did you hurt our master?!"
The landlady was so frightened that she turned pale and almost fainted, but out of her mother's instinct, she still tried to protect her children behind her and defend herself tremblingly.
"No, it's not me. I don't want to harm people. I do the meals tonight as usual and don't put anything that shouldn't be put. Why does your master suddenly have a stomachache? It really has nothing to do with us!"
The man hummed coldly: "our master ate the food in your inn tonight. He suddenly had a stomachache in the middle of the night. Now he can't even sit up. You must have poisoned the food and wanted to kill our master. Now I'll let you pay for your life!"
He said he was going to cut the landlady with a knife.
The four members of the landlady's family were so frightened that they screamed.
Tao was also frightened and whispered, "ah!"
As soon as the cry came out, green sleeve quickly put his hand over ah Tao's mouth and motioned her not to make a sound.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
The two young men outside heard the movement in the wood house. They stopped at the same time and looked at each other.
One of them stayed and looked at the four members of the innkeeper's family. The other strode to the door of the firewood room, raised his feet and kicked on the door of the firewood room. He shouted angrily, "who's in there? Sneaky, get out! "
Tao is remorseful. What did she do just now? Now it's good to burn yourself!
Green sleeve looked at Jiang Weiwei and waited for her decision.
Jiang Wei was unexpectedly calm.
In fact, even if ah Tao didn't say a word just now, she would say a word to save the innkeeper's family. On the one hand, the innkeeper was willing to quietly take them in for the night, on the other hand, it was to find out the truth of the master's suspected poisoning as soon as possible. If they don't protect the four members of the innkeeper's family now, when they thoroughly investigate the whole auspicious Inn, they will certainly find out the three of them living in the firewood house. At that time, they will really be unable to argue.
Anyway, it will be found out sooner or later. It's better to come out early and sell a favor to the innkeeper.
Jiang Wei ignored the rough sound of kicking the door outside. She said to ah Tao and green sleeve.
"Put on your clothes."
When the three people put on all their clothes, shoes and socks, green sleeve came forward and opened the door.
When the man saw that there were three beautiful young girls in the firewood room, he was stunned at first, and then he sternly asked, "who are you? Why are you hiding here? Who let you in? "
Jiang Weisi said slowly, "I'm the doctor of health hall. I'm going to return to Jiuqu county from Fucheng and stay at Jixiang Inn for one night."
The man was even more angry when he heard this: "this inn has been contracted by our master. How did you live in it?"
"The innkeeper asked us to stay here."
The innkeeper was directly sold by Jiang Weiwei without psychological burden.
The man glared at the innkeeper fiercely and scolded: "you eat inside and eat outside. Our master gave you so much money and promised to take the inn. You dare to accept other guests. You don't pay attention to our master at all!"
The innkeeper dared not argue, and his body trembled like chaff.
Another man was obviously more calm. He looked up and down at Jiang Weiwei and asked suspiciously, "are you really a doctor?"
"Of course, I don't need to deceive you because I can know the true and false things after checking."
Seeing that she answered like a stream, had a decent attitude and didn't look flustered at all, the man not only looked up at her, but asked, "our master suddenly had a stomachache in the middle of the night. The bad thing is that someone poisoned the food. Can you show our master?"
His proposal was immediately questioned by his peers.
"Li Tong, these three women don't know what their origins are. Just let them see the master. What if they see something good or bad? Who can shoulder this responsibility? "
The man named Li Tong said calmly, "you don't see how much the master is in pain. My wife is dying of anxiety. There is no shop in front of the village and behind the village. Let alone find a doctor, you can't even find an expert doctor. If you delay any longer, the master's condition will certainly worsen. Now, it's more important to cure the master than to track down the person who poisoned him. We can only live well if the master lives well. If the master dies, even if we don't die, we have to be accused of poor protection. A meal of flesh and blood is certainly indispensable! "
Hearing this, the other man was silent.
Li Tong made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Wei and motioned her to follow him.
Jiang Wei said, "my medicine box is on the donkey cart. I need to take it to see a doctor."
Li Tong said, "I'll go out with you to get it."
Jiang Wei knew that he was afraid of running away. He didn't refuse, but nodded slightly.
They left through the back door.
At this time, Gu Fei, Beichuan and Shi Jinshui also woke up. They heard the sound from the Inn and knew that something had happened in the inn.
Shi Jinshui, the only one of the three who can't do martial arts, curled up in the donkey cart and didn't dare to move.
Gu Fei and Beichuan plan to climb over the wall and enter the inn to have a look.
They were about to do it when they saw the back door creak open.
Jiang Weiwei came out with a young man.
The man was strong with a knife hanging around his waist. He knew he was a practitioner at a glance.
Li Tong obviously didn't expect that there were people outside. He was stunned at first, then held the handle of the knife and made an alert posture that he could draw the knife at any time.
Jiang Weiwei walked quickly to Gu Fei and whispered about what happened in the inn.
