When the two returned to the second floor to rest, the three people who had been dining in the lobby also happened to follow them upstairs. Bei Yutang watched the three people from the corner of his eye as they pushed open the two doors at the stairwell and entered.
Bei Yutang withdrew his gaze.
As the waiter walked to the end of the corridor, he pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Madam, this is your room. If you need hot water or tea, you can tell us. We have both."
"Please bring some hot water and tea." Bei Yutang took out some copper coins from his sleeve and put them in the waiter's hand. The waiter took the silver and responded with a smile.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will prepare it for you right away."
"good."
As soon as the waiter left, Xiao Zimo said to Bei Yutang, "Mom, do you want to take a bath?"
As soon as Bei Yutang saw his expression, she knew that he was worried about money again.
With such a frugal child, it seems that she, as a mother, is a bit extravagant in spending money.
"Not only do I have to wash, you have to too."
The little guy immediately said, "Mom, I don't need it."
Bei Yutang looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but pinch her pink little face. "Little idiot, when conditions permit, you should keep yourself clean and fresh. If conditions don't allow, you can only make do. Now that you have the opportunity to take a shower, seize it. After passing this town, we will have to walk on mountain roads and sleep outdoors for a few days."
Xiao Zimo pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay, I understand."
Soon the waiter brought the wooden barrel into the house and served hot water.
The two of them slept soundly all night. After a good night's sleep, Bei Yutang and Xiao Zimo had a quick breakfast and asked the waiter to prepare a few steamed buns for them.
As they drove away, the three men dressed in gangster style from last night also followed them out of the inn.
Bei Yutang glanced at them, and one of them suddenly turned his head and met her gaze. The man's eyes were fierce and there was a sense of hostility in him, which could only appear from someone who had been stained with blood for many years.
It's not just him, the two people with him also have that violent aura.
Bei Yutang calmly withdrew her gaze and carried Xiao Zimo into the carriage. Xiao Zimo sat in the front of the carriage and said to Bei Yutang, "Mother, let's go find a driver."
Bei Yutang looked at him and felt warm in her heart.
He was reluctant to spend a few cents on a bath, but he was willing to spend money to hire a coachman.
Bei Yutang hadn't wanted to hire anyone so soon, but seeing that Xiao Zimo was so interested in the matter, he smiled and said, "Okay."
"Little Brother, is there any place here where I can hire a driver?"
"Go east and there's a market over there with lots of rickshaw drivers."
"Thanks."
After thanking him, Bei Yutang drove his carriage eastward. The place was easy to find. Upon arriving, he saw many ox carts and horse carriages parked there. It was like a livestock market.
Bei Yutang wandered around and finally found a driver willing to travel far. Many people drove short distances, but they were long distance drivers. Once they went beyond that limit, few people were willing to take the job.
The driver was a man over fifty years old. "Madam, we have already agreed that I will return once we reach the border of Yunzhou City."
"yes."
"Okay then, I'll take your job."
