Chapter 254 The Collapse of Reason
Moreover, Cui Qingyi lived in the countryside when she was young in her previous life. Farmers thought sheep manure and donkey manure were excellent fertilizers. Even when Cui Qingyi was a child, she was ordered by the adults in the family to pick up manure.
Fortunately, they finally entered the yard of the inn. Cui Qingyi got off the carriage and looked around. She felt much better. At least this business yard was much cleaner.
The hostess of the inn came out to greet the guests, rubbing her hands. She seemed reserved, but in fact she looked Cui Qingyi and Taozhi up and down.
This time she went out for the purpose of a secret visit. Cui Qingyi was dressed simply from head to toe, without even a silver hairpin in her hair.
But even with this attire, in the eyes of the woman, he was still a rare rich man. So when Jingjiu asked to book three rooms, the woman smiled and held up three fingers: "Thirty taels."
Cui Qingyi couldn't help but sneer, because the village where she grew up was also a well-known poor village in the province, but she had the impression that the people in the village were simple and kind, so Cui Qingyi always scoffed at the saying that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people, and thought it was just a mockery of the arrogant city people towards the country people.
But at this moment, Cui Qingyi couldn't help but sigh that she was too narrow-minded and had little experience.
The Luhua Town that was slowly approaching her showed her exactly what it meant to be "poor, bad, and unruly people!"
The price was almost as high as the inn prices in Dongping County when foreigners came to the city. Jingjiu was unhappy and said bluntly, "Boss, how can your inn be worth this price? You might as well just rob it."
Hearing that the guests actually objected to the price she proposed, the woman rolled her eyes at everyone and said, "Why? This is the price of our inn in Luhua Town. If you don't want to stay, you can leave."
After saying that, he glanced at everyone with a smile, "Our Luhua Town is surrounded by mountains. There's only one inn within a dozen miles. Would you like to stay here?"
There are few outsiders coming to Luhua Town all year round. Her inn is a domineering business. If you want to stay, you can stay, if you don’t want to stay, you can leave. However, Luhua Town has many mountains, and generally no one wants to spend the night in the mountains.
Cui Qingyi winked at Aunt Cui, who stepped forward to stop Jingjiu: "Forget it, let's just stay for one night and make do with it."
Hearing this, the woman immediately smiled and stretched her hand straight in front of Jingjiu with some provocation.
Jingjiu had only felt so aggrieved in his life in the territories of some small countries in Mobei, but thinking that he could not ruin the village chief's business, he gritted his teeth and took out the silver to give to the woman.
"Come on, I'll take you to your room. By the way, our inn doesn't provide meals. If you want hot meals and hot water, you'll have to pay extra."
At this moment, let alone Jingjiu, even Xiaoba wanted to punch the woman on the head. This is simply a shady shop!
In fact, even if the inn provided hot dishes and meals, several people did not dare to eat them. Looking at the situation in the inn, Cui Qingyi was afraid that if she took a bite of the food, she would go on an incognito visit and end up getting herself into trouble. That would be too ridiculous.
The woman returned to her house and saw through the window that Jingjiu took a large bag of dry food from the carriage. She then looked at the strong dog following him, and her eyes turned red with envy.
These rich people live such a comfortable life that they even keep their dogs well groomed.
Seeing her husband lying on the bed smoking a hookah without caring about anything, the woman rolled her eyes and waved to the two dirty children, "Go and see what delicious food the people in the guest room are eating."
As soon as they heard the words "food" and "good things", the two boys rushed out like crazy.
After riding in a carriage for a day and a night, Cui Qingyi was just about to wash up and change into loose clothes when Wangcai, who was lying at the door, stood up vigilantly. Before Cui Qingyi and Taozhi in the room could understand what was going on, Xiaoba, who had been paying attention to the master's room, picked up the two dirty children with his bare hands and threw them out.
I really threw it away without any hesitation.
The two boys fell heavily to the ground, crying for their parents and calling out the couple in the house.
The man picked up a hoe from somewhere and looked at Xiao Ba fiercely, "You little bitch, you dare to cause trouble on my territory? You must be tired of living!"
The woman hurried to check on the two children. Xiao Ba was very measured in his actions, so he only scratched the skin a little. Sure enough, the two naughty children stood up and pointed at Cui Qingyi's house, "Mom, meat, we want to eat meat..."
They just saw that the bundle was full of dried meat, and a lot of it belonged to them.
Tsk.....how annoying.
Cui Qingyi originally wanted to come quietly and just take a look around Luhua Town, but as soon as she entered the town, she was extremely disappointed with this place.
"Little Ba Jingjiu, beat him unconscious, tie him up and throw him into the house."
Cui Qingyi gave the order calmly, and Xiaoba Jingjiu responded quickly. A moment later, the annoying family of four all lay flat on the ground. Jingjiu took out the thirty taels of silver he had just handed over from the man's waist, and then went to find a rope to tie them up.
While waiting to throw people into the room where they lived, Jingjiu suddenly felt that the activities here were like his own territory, and he was busy chopping wood and boiling water.
That night, Lu Dahu and his wife felt their intestines twisted when they smelled the aroma of meat coming from outside. It was strange that this group of people used some kind of evil magic. Although the whole family was awake, their limbs were stiff and they could not speak.
Unfortunately, their family has a bad reputation in the town, and ordinary people in the town don’t come here at all.
Early the next morning, Cui Qingyi changed into men's clothes and went to Luhua Town with a few people.
Because she was well prepared, Cui Qingyi was not at all moved by what she saw. Instead, when she saw that there was a small market in the town, Cui Qingyi's mood improved for a long time.
She even spent money to buy an egg from an old man's shoulder pole, and received his thanks profusely. However, this good mood only lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, and quickly disappeared when Cui Qingyi saw a small courtyard.
The vermilion plaque and the big red lanterns that had faded to white...
A girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, as thin as a withered stick, leaned against the vermilion gate, her clothes open to reveal her frayed bellyband. She weakly called out to a man passing by, "Come in and sit down, come in and sit down."
Several men with their shirts bare were sitting or standing, with undisguised meanness in their eyes.
Cui Qingyi felt as if a string of rationality in her brain had suddenly snapped. Perhaps no one would care if they saw Cui Qingyi anywhere in Dajin, but it should never appear in Luhua Town.
Isn’t Zhou Yanxiu notoriously harsh? Isn’t he considered a cruel official in the eyes of many people?
Jingjiu also saw this scene following Cui Qingyi's gaze, but he was not too moved. Their caravan had traveled to many places and had seen countless brothels in small places. Naturally, they were not surprised by it after seeing so many of them.
Cui Qingyi: "We will return to Dongping County immediately."
Zhou Yanxiu never thought that he would receive a letter from Cui Qingyi in his lifetime...
