Chapter 39

Suddenly summer passed and the mountains and rivers turned into autumn.

Originally, Ye Yunhao was going out to gain experience, so he naturally couldn't stay in the Wanjian Sect forever. He held the Dao Sword in his hand, and after these days of hard practice, his martial arts skills improved greatly. Now it was time for him to leave.

"well...."

Ye Yunhao sat on a stone chair in the pavilion, his face propped up with one hand, his eyebrows tightly wrinkled, his face full of worry.

When Shuangbei came over, he saw that the other person looked sad. He sat down slowly on the other side and poured himself a cup of tea.

It must be a big deal to make a usually lively dog ​​so worried, but it's also easy to guess what's on his mind.

Shuangbei raised the corners of his lips slightly, turning the teacup, and whispered, "Although Senior Brother Mu woke up much earlier than expected, he needs to rest for his injuries, and it is best not to do strenuous exercise within half a year. But Mu Mengxi's home is Qixing Island after all. Now he is ready to go home, and no one can stop him. However, the Wanjian Sect is far away from Qixing Island, and Sect Master Li is selecting suitable guards to escort him. You..."

Before he could finish, Ye Yunhao at the side suddenly jumped up, but before he could take a few steps, Ye Yunhao turned back hesitantly to look at Shuang Bei.

"Go ahead, I'll accompany you."

When Ye Yunhao heard this, his eyes lit up and his eyebrows raised. After getting the answer he wanted, he no longer had any worries.

After the other person's figure completely disappeared from his sight, Shuangbei turned his gaze away and drank the remaining tea in the cup.

Ye Yunhao’s thoughts are easy to guess, at least Shuang Bei thinks so.

He knew that the other party wanted to leave, but the sea was vast and the sky was high, and Ye Yunhao was hesitant and didn't know where to go.

It just so happened that Mu Mengxi was going back to Qixing Island, which also gave Ye Yunhao a goal. As for the other party's hesitation just now, it was entirely because he was worried about whether Shuang Bei would go with him. Although the two had discussed that all good things must come to an end before, Ye Yunhao was not that nonchalant.

But Shuangbei hasn't had much to do lately, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to accompany him for a walk.

Shen Yuqing: What do you mean I have nothing to do recently? Can't you come to see me?

Yun Wuque: Then live a life of eat and sleep, sleep and eat?

Shen Yuqing: Ahem... (whispering) Managing an inn is also very hard work.

Shuangbei: Thank you for your hard work (smooth talk), I know Yu will always wait for me.

Qiu Muli: I have learned it. Is this the art of language? (The location of the inn is already fixed)

Yun Wuque: We’ll come find you when we’ve had enough fun.

Tsk...

Unhappy Shen Yuqing began to harass the game panel.

"Can we change the world?"

"I just can't stand seeing them being so idle. Isn't it that the clone is working for me while I am just sitting at home eating and waiting to die?"

"But they are clearly just eating, drinking and having fun, and they are living a more carefree life than me."

Game Panel:......

After harassing the game panel, Shen Yuqing's mood improved a lot, and then the black-hearted boss began to exploit his employees.

"Xiao Jiang, I want to eat apples."

"Uncle Li, I want to eat lamb chops tonight."

"Wuming, the weather is nice, take my clothes out to dry in the sun."

Jiang Chichen held a knife in his hand and cut the apple into the shape of little rabbits with an expressionless face. He should try something new next time, Jiang Chichen thought as he set the plate.

Li Fuchun agreed happily. He felt that the shopkeeper had eaten much less in the past few days. Now that the shopkeeper finally had an appetite, he began to look forward to the arrival of night.

Wuming was holding the red dress in his hands. Shopkeeper Shen had a lot of clothes, but as far as he could remember, this one had only been worn once by the other party. But it was very beautiful. He wondered if the other party would wear it again after being exposed to the sun.

Shen Yuqing had no idea what his employees were thinking. He sat at the counter, reading comics heartlessly. There had been no customers for nearly seven days. Fortunately, this was not a normal business game, otherwise Shen Yuqing would have gone bankrupt long ago.

The apple was crisp and refreshing. After biting off the little rabbit's head in one bite, Shen Yuqing decided to walk around the inn. She didn't know if there was a river nearby, which might be another entertainment activity for her in the future.

Shen Yuqing was walking along the path in the woods. There was a rustling sound coming from the bushes not far away. An orange-red fox poked its head out from one side of the bushes. It looked at Shen Yuqing for a few times, then quickly sneaked back into the woods.

The forest had not been overly damaged, and the abundance of wild animals was astonishing. Shen Yuqing stopped in the woods, closed his eyes, and listened to the sounds around him.

The rustling of leaves, the footsteps of small animals, and the barely perceptible sound of flowing water.

After hearing the sound of flowing water, Shen Yuqing opened his eyes and walked towards the sound.

The deeper he went, the denser the trees became. Shen Yuqing discovered traces left by some wild animals. He continued to walk in the direction of the sound he heard. After an unknown amount of time, the scenery in front of him became open.

The soil on both sides was moist, and Shen Yuqing could see many flat and smooth pebbles at a glance. He had never imagined that there was such a river hidden in the forest.

The flowing river sparkled under the sunlight. Shen Yuqing looked as far as he could see and could not see the end. However, his expression quickly changed from curiosity to confusion, and finally the smile on his face began to break.

The pitch-black thing floating not far away made Shen Yuqing silent for a rare moment.

After some effort, Shen Yuqing dragged the other person to the shore. He poked the other person with a branch. After feeling the faint breathing at the nostrils, Shen Yuqing fell into deep thought.

What you run is an inn, not a clinic!

He had to save the person, but looking at his wet appearance and his new clothes, Shen Yuqing hesitated for a few seconds.

Damn it!

Shen Yuqing reflected on his own behavior, and then found the option to control the mount on the game panel.

Jiang Chichen was carrying a wooden barrel with some wilted vegetables in it. Just as he arrived at the backyard, he saw a figure running past him. Jiang Chichen looked at the stable beside him and then at the figure that had already escaped from the inn. He silently put down the barrel in his hand and turned around to chase after the figure.

Shen Yuqing used gentle treatment methods to make the drowning teenager spit out the river water.

“Cough cough cough…”

After coughing violently, the drowning man fainted again.

When Jiang Chichen followed the trail of the black fertilizer and came over, he saw Shen Yuqing waving at him with a happy look on her face.

"Xiao Jiang, what a coincidence! Come quickly."

Jiang Chichen:......

At Shen Yuqing's signal, Jiang Chichen helped the unconscious person onto the donkey's back. After seeing the man's face clearly, Jiang Chichen paused slightly.

Shen Yuqing noticed that the other person was distracted for a moment, he went over and asked: "What's the matter? Is it someone you know?" If he is someone he knows, Xiao Jiang can help pay the medical bills.

Jiang Chichen didn't know what Shen Yuqing was thinking. He just felt that the other person looked familiar. Looking at the other person's slightly swollen and red face, he shook his head and asked hesitantly: "His face..."

Shen Yuqing smiled awkwardly and said with a bit of guilt: "Well... maybe it hit a rock in the river."

Jiang Chichen nodded. The other person was soaking wet, so he must have drowned in the river. There were rocks in the river, so that was possible.

What is possible?!

The game panel, who witnessed everything, hated itself for not being able to speak.

Shen Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party believed it. He remembered that he had gently stroked the other party's cheek in order to make the other party spit out the river water. Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at the person on the donkey's back. Seeing the other party's red and swollen cheeks, Shen Yuqing blinked innocently. It seemed that he had been a little too heavy-handed.

Fortunately, Jiang Chichen had not been down the mountain for long, and he had a stubborn nature, which allowed Shen Yuqing to fool him.

Game Panel: Who are these guys of yours? Don't you think they are a little abnormal?

Shen Yuqing: Uncle Li is very good! Very normal!

Game panel: Haha, it’s very normal. It’s so normal that even if you eat two bowls in one meal, he still thinks you are not full.

Shen Yuqing glanced at the game panel with disdain. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a profound expression.

There is a kind of coldness when your mother thinks you are cold, and there is a kind of thinness when Uncle Li thinks you are not full.

An artificial intelligence like you wouldn't understand.

Game Panel:.......

After returning to the inn, Jiang Chichen helped the unconscious boy to the guest room without Shen Yuqing's instructions. Hei Huafei also returned to the stable consciously. Shen Yuqing suddenly felt that the children had grown up.

In the lobby, an old lady was eating noodles with her granddaughter. They only ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles. The old lady asked Li Fuchun for another set of tableware embarrassedly, and the two of them shared the bowl of clear soup noodles.

After seeing Jiang Chichen and Shen Yuqing come in, the two of them felt even more uneasy, fearing that they would dirty the inn.

Chungui Inn has been open for several months. Although there are not many customers, it is the first time that Shen Yuqing has seen a customer share a bowl of clear soup noodles. There are more suffering people in the world than he imagined. He sighed slightly and asked Li Fuchun to make another bowl of noodles for the other party.

The bowl of clear soup noodles was bland, but the two of them ate it with gusto. Just as they were about to drink the remaining noodle soup, Li Fuchun brought the noodles to the table.

The old woman's hair was messy. She looked at the noodles on the table and gestured with her hands. She made "ahhh" sounds. The little girl next to her kept saying, "We only ordered one bowl of noodles."

Li Fuchun said quickly, "This is a gift from my shopkeeper to you two. It's free, so feel free to eat it."

The old woman's eyes became moist. She couldn't speak and could only make gestures of thanks with her hands. The little girl also said thank you.

The two of them have endured too much cold stares along the way. Poverty is sometimes a sin. If she had not eaten for a long time, the old woman would never dare to step into this towering inn. She has lived to this age and nothing can scare her, but she can't bear to see Xia Xia starve to death. Xia Xia is so obedient. She will never forget the way she called her "nanny" for the first time.

The two of them shared a bowl of noodles as before. The old woman still ate very little. After seeing the two poached eggs hidden under the noodles, the little girl's eyes showed surprise. She ignored the old lady's objection and directly added one of them to the other's bowl.

After the old woman refused to eat the poached eggs, the little girl whispered, "Xia Xia only has Mammy, and Xia Xia doesn't want Mammy to leave."

The old woman was silent for a long time, and then ate all the fried eggs in the bowl.

After the two finished their noodles, the old woman took Xia Xia's hand and walked to Shen Yuqing.

"Thank you, Brother Shopkeeper."

"Good boy, can you please hold out your hand?"

Hearing the little girl's thanks, Shen Yuqing smiled. Seeing the little girl hesitantly reaching out her hand, he handed the purse he was playing with to her. In the puzzled eyes of the two, Shen Yuqing said, "The last thing I lack is money, but I'm not a spendthrift. I'm always good at judging people. When you become successful in the future, just come and repay me."

The little girl looked hesitantly at the nanny beside her. The nanny, who was still hungry, did not refuse. Looking at Xia Xia's clear eyes, the old woman nodded as if she had made up her mind, and then gestured to Shen Yuqing beside her. If Shen Yuqing had not quickly stopped her, she would have knelt down to express her gratitude.

"Mammy said that today's favor will be repaid in the future." The little girl said seriously, holding the purse in her hand. She had never shed a tear throughout the journey no matter how hard it was, but now her eyes were red.

After seeing the two off, Li Fuchun sighed, "The shopkeeper is kind-hearted."

Shen Yuqing curled her lips and didn't explain much.

He noticed that the two men had clean nails but a little dust on their faces. Perhaps their special identities were concealing their identities. Shen Yuqing was just making a simple investment, and there might be a surprise in the future.

He loves surprises.
