"Bang!"
"Bang!"
…
Not long after Lin Zi left, those people fell down one after another after drinking their tea.
To be on the safe side, Yingniang walked up to them.
She licked her lower lip and pretended to know nothing before asking, "Gentlemen, are you drunk from the tea?"
Ying Niang twisted her slender waist, raised her slender jade fingers, and gently tapped one of the men's shoulders.
She exerted a little force but didn't shake it too hard.
As a result, the man fell from lying on the table to the ground with a bang.
Yingniang raised her delicate eyebrows, dusted off her hands, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
That's about it.
She can go send a signal to Brother Zhou and the others.
Once they see the flare she sends out, they can prepare to come over.
at the same time.
Li Xia and Li Yousheng, who knew nothing, also arrived at the door of the teahouse at this time.
"Yousheng, there is a teahouse here. This is great. We don't have to be embarrassed to ask for a bowl of water. Since someone is open for business, we can pay and drink some hot tea here. We were in a hurry on the road just now and sweated a little. Now we stop and feel a little cold. Let's drink some hot tea to warm up our bodies."
Li Xia raised her eyes and saw the teahouse in front of her. She moved her lips and spoke to Li Yousheng.
Hearing this, Li Yousheng raised his eyes, looked at Li Xia, and nodded.
"Excuse me, is the shopkeeper here?"
Li Xia looked up and saw white smoke coming out from inside, but the door of the teahouse was closed. Thinking that someone should be inside, she took a step forward and raised her hand to knock on the door.
She swallowed, moistened her throat, and shouted inside.
When Yingniang heard the noise outside the teahouse, her heart skipped a beat.
She had just finished throwing the smoke bomb.
Even if Brother Zhou and the others were faster, there was no way they could get here so soon.
So the people outside the door can't be them.
Looks like I need to go outside and take a look.
Yingniang looked at the people who had fainted.
But we have to deal with these people first.
She first went to the kitchen to find some thick hemp ropes and tied up the people who had fallen to the ground.
"Sister, there shouldn't be anyone inside, right?" Li Yousheng looked at the room for a long time and no one came out. He raised his head, stretched out his little hand, pulled the corner of Li Xia's clothes, and asked in sign language.
If there was someone there, they had been knocking on the door for a while and someone should have come out.
But they waited for a long time and no one came out and no one responded.
Could it be that they saw it wrong and there was actually no one here?
Li Xia frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. This place is very clean. You can tell someone cleans it regularly. And I just saw white smoke coming out of the back. It should be the kitchen fire. Maybe the owner is busy with something. I didn't hear it. I'll knock louder."
If there is no one living in the place, it is impossible to keep it so clean and tidy.
It's obvious that someone lives here.
Li Xia licked her lips, raised her hand again, and prepared to knock on the door again.
"knock……"
“Squeak—”
Li Xia's hand just knocked on the door, and the door of the teahouse was opened from the inside.
Yingniang opened the door a crack, revealing only her eyes, and looked outside vigilantly.
She saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat holding a child in her hands outside the door, and she felt relieved.
A girl with a child must have been passing by here.
You can't show any abnormality.
Otherwise, it would arouse the girl's suspicion and it would be bad if she discovered the people inside.
Although this little girl alone can't cause any trouble.
But it's never good to be known by others.
She doesn't look like a bad person, and I don't want to involve innocent people.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Ying Niang blinked and asked with her mouth open.
"Shopkeeper, we apologize for disturbing you. We were on our way to the mountain to collect herbs. We passed by here and accidentally broke the kettle we were carrying. When we saw that this was a teahouse, we wanted to stop and have a cup of tea."
Li Xia spoke to Ying Niang.
She also felt a little strange, because if it was a teahouse, it should be open for business.
Why did she close the door and block the entrance, seemingly unwilling to let them in?
"It's really unfortunate that our restaurant is closed today and does not serve tea. Miss, please look somewhere else." Ying Niang curled her lips and said to Li Xia and the others with her mouth open.
It's not that I'm reluctant to give up some tea, but it's inconvenient for them to keep it for longer.
She chased them away for their own good.
Brother Zhou and his friends will be here soon. If they don't leave now, they won't be able to leave later.
"Boss, I'm an adult, it's okay for me to endure it, but my little brother has been thirsty all the way. He's still a child, he really can't stand it. Please be kind and sell us a bowl of tea." Li Xia took out a few copper coins from his sleeves, "Boss, this is the tea fee, we won't take advantage of you."
She handed the copper coin to Yingniang.
The current situation is turbulent and there are refugees in many places.
Perhaps the shopkeeper thought they were also beggars on the street.
That's why I made up an excuse to say that.
"Sister, forget it. I can still bear it for a while. Let's go to the front and take a look."
Li Yousheng looked at Li Xia who was humble to others for him. He bit his lower lip and raised his hand to gesture.
