This town was about the same size as the first one they encountered after escaping, and it was a vast expanse of space. However, now all the shops were closed, with no signs on the doors. It was unclear what was going on.
You are not allowed to wander around, and the gatekeeper specifically mentioned the inn. Does that mean you can only stay in the inn?
The location of the inn is very conspicuous. It is right at the entrance of the town. It is a two-story building and is much larger than other shops.
The door of the inn was half-open. After a gentle knock, the door opened.
The lobby was empty except for a young boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
He was in the same condition as the gatekeeper just now, wearing linen clothes, with his wrists exposed, which were so white that they could not be seen in the sun.
Two panda-like dark circles and drooping eye bags show that he often stays up late, just like a modern internet addict.
He stood up, his face pale and his steps unsteady.
"You two want to stay in a hotel?"
Without waiting for Jiang Yue to answer, he continued, "There's only one room left on the second floor. It costs 10 pancakes or 5 liters of beans per night, not including food or hot water. If you want food or hot water, you have to pay separately. The menu is on the sign. One bucket of hot water costs 5 pancakes."
"If you can stay here, pay now. If not, please turn left and go straight out of town."
After saying this long paragraph, his dark eyes looked at Jiang Yue and the others expressionlessly.
There is clearly no one in the lobby and it doesn't look like it's full. Are they still using hunger marketing?
And the house price is too expensive!
Now in Jiang Yue's mind, 10 pancakes are equal to a human life.
But the waiter's attitude seemed to be that he had no worries about customers.
Yes, this town is full of weirdness. I believe that other guests have nowhere else to go except here.
“Is there a shed for the mule cart?”
The waiter tilted his head to glance at the mule cart outside the door, then looked the two of them up and down calmly, his eyes seemingly a little wider than before.
"Yes, you can take it to the backyard. But I won't help feed the mules or look after the luggage."
Jiang Yue: With this kind of service attitude, I guarantee he would get 10 bad reviews in modern times!
But she nodded anyway, took out 5 liters of beans from the car and paid for the room.
The guy asked them to pull the mule cart to the backyard and tie it up there himself.
Jiang Yue watched him stuff the beans under the counter, walk out, hang up a closed sign, slam the door, and then continue to fall asleep on the table.
He's not pretending. You can really tell from his breathing that he's fast asleep.
It seems that I was forcing myself when I talked to them just now.
Jiang Yue and the others brought the mule cart to the backyard and saw the driver they had been following. They figured they would have to stay here.
Jiang Nian fed the mule and waved the rusty key in her hand. It was given to them by the worker, who told them to find room number three themselves.
The room was locked and they were the only ones with the key, ensuring that the luggage would not be stolen.
If the luggage is still accidentally stolen, it has nothing to do with the inn, after all, the keys are in the hands of the guests...
This is truly self-help.
This inn is only a small inn in the city, and there are only eight best rooms on the second floor.
The room number is marked on the door, so it is easy to find.
The door locks of each room are rusty, and a strong smell of rust can be smelled in the corridor.
I don't know if this inn is rich or poor. If they say they are rich, they wouldn't want to replace the rusty lock. If they say they are poor, they are willing to install iron locks in every room.
After opening the door, there was only a simple set of tables and chairs and a large bed in the room.
How big is this bed?
It was so big that she could roll on it five times before falling off.
Is this specifically designed for accommodation? For a family, right?
I don't know how long this inn has been open. If it was opened after the natural disaster, it should be very new. Now the original wooden color of the inn has faded and looks very old.
If we say that the damage was caused by natural disasters, it seems to make sense.
When you walk on the wooden floor, there is not only a loud creaking sound, but also a slight shaking feeling.
I don’t know if they can sleep normally tonight.
Jiang Yue checked back and forth and was surprised again. The windows here were just for decoration and could not be opened at all!
This is an inn that I really want to give a lot of bad reviews.
She let out a long breath, deciding to accept what had happened.
She took out the mat and spread it on the bed, and the two of them lay down on it to rest. Needless to say, this quiet atmosphere made her feel quite safe, and she fell asleep unknowingly.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened and lanterns were lit in the town.
Jiang Nian straightened the scattered hair on her forehead, then gently woke her up, "Yueyue, wake up, the town is open for business."
Jiang Yue was drowsy and seemed to hear a noisy sound beside her ears.
After she washed her face, put on her mask, and opened the door, a wave of hot air hit her in the face.
Looking down from the corridor on the second floor, the bad waiter with a bad attitude during the day is now walking between the tables with a smile on his face.
The innkeeper was a tall and strong man with a face full of flesh. He was guarding the cashier's counter and spoke in a rough voice, but he could still smile a little when collecting money and things.
The first-floor lobby was packed with guests, all eating, drinking, and chatting, creating a bustling atmosphere. The red lanterns shone on everyone's face, revealing a strange sense of satisfaction.
It's like the world before the natural disaster.
This is what the town really looks like.
