Chapter 32
Shen Yuqing never thought that the inn he opened in the wilderness would have regular customers visiting in just a few months.
Ah, that's not right...returning customer?
According to the markings on the game panel, the traveler probably hesitated when passing by the inn on the way, and regretted not staying in the inn, so after countless days of hesitation, he still chose to stay there.
Shen Yuqing: There is someone here who is even better at flattering himself than me! Call the police!
"Please, shopkeeper, save my brother!"
Luo Yan knelt on the ground and begged desperately. She no longer had the arrogance she had when she came to capture Xu Yuan the other day.
"Yan'er... ahem... you don't have to..."
The bandaged wound on Luo Huan's abdomen had split open, and blood had stained his clothes red. Due to the blood loss, Luo Huan's face was particularly pale. Looking at his sister kneeling beside him, he wanted to speak out to stop them, but he couldn't say a few words before he started coughing uncontrollably. Dark red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Luo Huan wanted to tell his sister not to worry, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands.
"Miss, this is an inn, not a clinic."
Shen Yuqing looked at Luo Yan's forehead bleeding as he kowtowed repeatedly without the slightest movement.
Luo Huan watched his sister begging others for him without regard for her dignity. His heart seemed to be bleeding. The pain in his body was far less than the torment in his heart. His motivation to climb up had always been to prevent his sister from getting hurt, but now, because of him, he still had to watch his sister kneel down and kowtow as humbly as she did in the past.
Luo Yan bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with reluctance and stubbornness. After hearing what Shen Yuqing said, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something and took out all the valuable things on her body, even the pendant on her ear.
"Shopkeeper! I want to stay in the hotel!"
Luo Yan held all the valuable items in her hands, but when she saw Shen Yuqing still unmoved, her face gradually turned pale, and the determination in her eyes was swallowed up by despair at this moment.
After all, he was running an inn. Since the customer had paid, he naturally had no reason to chase him away. However,...
Shen Yuqing glanced at Wuming implicitly, and Wuming had revealed his original appearance. It was obvious that Luo Huan and Luo Yan did not recognize that Wuming, the waiter of the inn, was the Lord Wuchang who had traveled with them.
Seeing that Wu Chang did not show any disgust, Shen Yuqing raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "The ruby inlaid on the crown is nice."
Luo Yan's eyes lit up when she heard that. She thanked him repeatedly while quickly taking off the hair crown on Luo Huan's head.
Luo Huan with dishevelled hair: .....
"Help him to his room."
Since she had already agreed to let the two stay in the inn, Shen Yuqing naturally did not want to see the death of a guest who had not even stayed for a night. After all, it was very taboo for someone to die in an inn.
After helping Luo Huan to the bed, Wuchang asked Luo Yan to leave and then closed the door.
Luo Yan was extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to do anything. Her only hope to save her brother now was to rely on the innkeeper, so she could only pray outside the door.
The poison had already spread to Luo Huan's internal organs. Shen Yuqing first gave him an antidote pill, and then began to treat the wounds of all sizes on Luo Huan's body.
An hour later, the door of the room was pushed open, and Luo Yan asked nervously, "Shopkeeper, is my brother okay?"
"It's not serious anymore. I think he'll wake up in half a day."
After hearing Shen Yuqing's words, Luo Yan's long-suppressed emotions burst out instantly and tears flowed out.
"Thank you...Thank you..."
Tears left tear marks on Luo Yan's face. In the past, she loved beauty, but now she had a bleak face and kept thanking Shen Yuqing.
"You're welcome, young lady. You can go to the room to see your brother first, then go to the next room to wash up and bandage the wound. I have sent someone to deliver the bandage equipment and medicine."
For guests who pay a lot of money to stay overnight, Shen Yuqing has the obligation to provide them with a good experience.
Yun Wuque: That sounds nice, but it's obvious that he is just greedy for money.
Shen Yuqing (with an exaggerated expression): How dare you say that to me!
Yun Wuque: I am making money...
Shen Yuqing: The beads are mine.
Yun Wuque: Meow meow meow! The signal here is bad!
Everyone in the inn was busy with their work. According to a certain ranking, Li Fuchun was the first employee of the inn. However, this was also the first time he met the Luoyan siblings. Li Fuchun did not find it strange that the girl sought help from the shopkeeper instead of going to the clinic.
Li Fuchun, who had a strict filter on the shopkeeper, had long believed that the shopkeeper was a hermit gangster. The girl's brother was seriously injured, and it would take several hours to walk from the inn to the clinic, so the girl could only seek help from the shopkeeper. However, it can also be seen from this that the girl seemed to know the shopkeeper, otherwise why would she seek help from an innkeeper.
But these are not important to him. Li Fuchun does not have time to think about these messes. The friction sound of knives came from the kitchen. He still remembered that the shopkeeper said a few days ago that he wanted to eat barbecue, so he needed to cut the ingredients and skewer them.
Since Jiang Chichen had a brief encounter with Hui Huafei that day, he established a deep friendship with the two donkeys. As a "hated by everyone" who was bullied by dogs and cats, after discovering that the donkeys had no unfriendly behavior towards him, he was completely conquered by these two silly and cute donkeys. So after the shopkeeper agreed to let the two guests stay, Jiang Chichen, who had nothing to do, took a bucket and a brush to comb the hair of the two donkeys.
Wuming was the only one left in the hall. Shen Yuqing walked up to him and asked, "How much do you know about these two people?"
"They are siblings. The injured one is the brother Luo Huan, and the sister's name is Luo Yan. They are good at charm and practice dual cultivation. They work well together and rarely fail in their missions."
Such an official evaluation! Shen Yuqing paused, reconsidered his words, and continued to ask without much hope: "What about other aspects?"
Wuming thought for a few seconds and then answered, "They like beautiful people, regardless of gender, and have many pets. They are bold in their daily lives and will take advantage of beautiful people with their words or actions. After completing each mission, they will rescue those who are helpless from brothels or human traffickers. It is said that the pets around them are people who have received their kindness and voluntarily stayed.
There was a hint of surprise in Shen Yuqing's eyes. He was not surprised by the behavior of Luo Yan and his sister, but was surprised that Yu Wuming actually knew this gossipy information.
However, it seems that what the other party said does have some truth in it. After all, she had been verbally teased by Luo Yan and his sister. Thinking of this, Shen Yuqing couldn't help but sigh. It seems that being too good-looking is also a sin. It's not easy to be an ordinary innkeeper.
There is a difference between charm and looks. Although Shen Yuqing is very confident about his face, he would never claim to be the best. However, his aura can easily affect a person's overall sense. For Shen Yuqing, whose overall charm is assessed as 97, most people can easily develop a good impression of him at first sight.
Shen Yuqing: I'm being low-key! I'm just that approachable!
Yun Wuque: Vomited.
At dusk, the fish swimming in the sky reveal their beautiful golden scales, and the earth is dyed with a thin layer of red halo, just like the throbbing feeling of a young boy when he first falls in love.
In the courtyard, several people gathered around the grill. The charcoal fire was burning red, and the aroma of the barbecue tested the concentration of those present.
"Wuming, please stand further away, or the smoke will bother you." Li Fuchun said to Wuming on his right. He flipped the skewers in his hand and said to Jiang Chichen on his left, "Chichen, please go to the kitchen and get the remaining ingredients."
Looking at Uncle Li and his two guardians on his left and right, Shen Yuqing's eyes were filled with smiles.
A person in red appeared in Shen Yuqing's sight. The smile in his eyes had not yet faded, but the person had already walked in front of him.
"Shopkeeper, may I have a word with you?"
Luo Yan had obviously washed up, but the delicate makeup on her face could hardly hide the fatigue in her eyes. Her body was a little stiff, and there was no trace of the look that teased Shen Yuqing that day.
Shen Yuqing nodded.
After avoiding the inn's staff, Luo Yan knelt down again, "Thank you very much for helping me, my brother and I, even though we are not gentlemen, we know how to repay kindness. If my brother and I are lucky enough to survive, we will definitely repay the shopkeeper in the future."
Seeing Luo Yan kneeling in front of him stubbornly, Shen Yuqing's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied softly: "Okay."
Luo Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. She was able to break free from her and her brother's charm, knock Tu Laoliu away, and save her brother in such a short time. Although Luo Yan didn't know Shen Yuqing's background, she didn't dare to be presumptuous. Now that she heard the other party agreed, her heart slowly settled down.
To be honest, Luo Yan was just trying to save the situation as she had no other options. Although the pursuers did not press on and let the two of them escape from the city, the poison in Luo Huan's body had already sentenced him to death. Looking at her brother falling powerlessly in her arms, Luo Yan hugged her brother unwillingly, and suddenly an inn appeared in her mind.
Thinking back to when she was chasing Jiuyou, that man was so badly injured but could still pick up the sword, Luo Yan realized that the innkeeper knew medicine. However, thinking back to the unpleasantness of that day, regardless of whether the other party was willing to save her or not, even if he was willing, the poison in her brother's body was not so easy to cure. But Luo Yan couldn't care less. She only had Luo Huan as a relative. As long as there was a little hope, she would not give up.
Looking at Luo Yan who was still kneeling in front of him and hadn't stood up, Shen Yuqing said again, "Get up."
Putting aside whether or not enduring so much kneeling would shorten one's life, just for the sake of the sister-con Luo Huan, Shen Yuqing had to let the other person stand up in order to avoid being glared at like a sieve in the future.
Luo Yan stood up, with a fire burning in her eyes. "When my brother's injury gets better, we will leave immediately and will definitely not bring trouble to the storekeeper."
Shen Yuqing glanced at the other person calmly, his eyes sank slightly, and he said, "Miss Luo, could you tell me what happened? If I don't know what happened, I'm afraid I would feel wronged even if I became a ghost."
Luo Yan's pupils moved slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "The shopkeeper really knows the identities of my brother and me."
Shen Yuqing curled her lips and said, "Although the inn is in a remote location, there will always be wanderers passing by who just happened to have heard of Miss Luo's name."
Shen Yuqing's words sounded fake, but no matter how fake they were, Luo Yan still took them as true. However, at the same time, her fear of Shen Yuqing increased.
