Finally, after walking for another quarter of an hour, we saw a large inn. The door of the inn was wide open and there were tables in the lobby where guests were eating.

Business is very good, and I don’t know if there are enough rooms to accommodate them all.

When the waiter saw a group of people coming, he immediately went to the door and greeted them: "Sir, please come in, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

"Waiter, are there any five guest rooms left?"

"Yes, sir, please come in. I'll introduce you to the five houses of the same price. There is no more room. There is one upper room and three ordinary rooms in the shape of a human figure. The remaining rooms are the large bunk bed and the firewood room."

Father Liu thought for a moment and asked, "Is anyone staying in the dormitory now? Is there a room with a whole dormitory?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Then we need three private rooms and one dormitory room!"

It was just one night's sleep anyway. They had slept in many places along the way. The big bunk bed could accommodate five or six people, so the men just had to squeeze in.

The price of upper room is much more expensive.

There's no need to waste that money.

"Okay, sir, this way please."

After passing through the lobby of the inn, we came to the backyard. The backyard was very large, a square courtyard with two floors. There should be quite a few rooms.

"Sir, please come this way."

The waiter took them to the west room and pointed to a room on the first floor and said, "This is a large bunk bed room. No one lives there. Here is the key. The three rooms are up the stairs next to it. Please follow me!"

Father Liu followed the waiter up to the second floor, checked the three rooms, and said to the waiter, "Brother Xiaoer, we still have two mule carts. Should you be able to accommodate them here?"

"No problem. Go out the small door on the south side and there is a yard with stables, a woodshed and a kitchen. A mule cart will carry a 30-cent bag of hay and water."

"Okay, I'll trouble you to arrange it for us later. And ask the kitchen to make us 20 bowls of noodles. What's the big deal?"

"We have chicken soup and pork bone noodle soup. Do you want it spicy?"

"Then let's have chicken noodle soup! Not spicy!"

When Mr. Liu heard the waiter ask if he wanted spicy food, he was shocked. It seemed that people here all liked spicy food, but he didn't know if it was chili peppers or something else?

Otherwise, the inn wouldn't have asked any more questions, probably because they were from other places. So his previous thought that they had arrived in the Bashu area was probably correct.

But there were many children in their group, so they couldn’t eat spicy food. So they just had some clear soup noodles. They still had to travel quickly, and it would be bad if they got upset in their stomachs.

"Sir, do you have any other instructions?"

"No more, please excuse me, little brother!"

"You're welcome. I'll notify the kitchen to make it for you right away!"

After saying that, he went downstairs by himself. Father Liu entered the room and lit the oil lamp. Liu Caixia and Liu Xiaolu walked in first, followed by Liu Caiyun and Liu Xiaomei, and finally Mother Liu.

Their family lived in one room, with Liu's father and several other men including Lin Weizhong squeezing in together.

"Dad, Uncle Luo and the others are here. Do you want to go and see how the rooms are arranged?"

"Okay, I'll go down and take a look. Liu Hao and I will take your uncle Luo and Wei Zhong and his son to live together on the big bunk bed. You and your children will all be divided into three rooms."

"That's no problem. Lin Weizhong just arranged it that way."

After listening to what Liu Caixia said, Father Liu met the people coming up at the door. After settling them down, he went downstairs.

The people downstairs are all their own people now, so it is very convenient for them to talk to each other.

The big bunk bed is a real big bunk bed. It is a long wooden bed that stretches from the left side of the door to the innermost wall. The outside side is covered tightly with earthen bricks piled from the ground. You can't see the area under the bed, which is neatly covered with wooden boards.

There was nothing on the wooden bed, just a worn-out mattress divided into single beds. There were eight beds neatly arranged, more than enough for the seven of them.

Everyone didn't care about this situation and just found a seat and sat down casually.

Liu Hao said carelessly while lying on the bed near the door: "I have lived in this kind of big bunk bed before. The feeling is completely different from now. There are no monsters and no mutant animals or plants. I can sleep much more peacefully. It's just that the bed board is too hard and the quilt is a bit thin."

Qu Dingliang: "That's enough. Why are you so particular? It's good enough to have it. Just live here. This condition is already very good."

He slept next to Liu Hao, followed by Allen Chu, Luo Hong, Liu's father, and Lin Weizhong and his son. They went in neat rows.

Lin Keyu took out two pillows from the space and placed them neatly on the bed.

Lin Weizhong glanced at the pillow and said with emotion: "Yes. It will get better and better in the future."

"Dad, when you have time, take the pillow down and wash it. It's so dirty." Lin Weizhong looked at Lin Keyu's lost expression and knew that he was missing his mother.

In the past, they didn't need to worry about these things. His wife arranged everything properly. He was busy at work and often worked overtime, so he had no time to take care of the family. His wife had an easy job and she took care of all the things at home.

Lin Weizhong touched Lin Keyu's head and said soothingly, "Okay, I'll take the back off and wash it for you."

Father Liu: "Your pillowcase is fine. It doesn't have a zipper or anything. It's fine to take it apart and let the maid wash it. If there are people at home who can do this kind of work, let them do it. When things are settled, you can also go and select some people to come back.

Don't worry about it. We might actually save them by buying them. They are destined to be bought anyway. If they follow us, they might live a better life. They won't be insulted or killed at will."

Lin Weizhong: "We will go to the dental clinic tomorrow and see how things go. We will at least need to buy a carriage and a driver who can ride a horse and drive a carriage."

Luo Hong: "The carriage is good. You are strong now. It will be very convenient to ride after you learn to ride a horse. After you have a horse, teach other men to learn it. Women with good health can also learn it. This is a way to save lives.

After settling down and finding a way to make money, I will definitely arrange these things. If my family had not been poor and I was old, I would have wanted to buy a horse a long time ago.

You didn’t think about it that much before, but now you think about it. We definitely support it with both hands.”

Father Liu: "Also, find out what the chili here is tomorrow. I just ordered 20 bowls of noodles from the waiter for dinner. He actually asked me if I wanted chili. I didn't know whether chili was the chili we eat.

I'm afraid everyone won't be used to it, so I can only tell him no. I feel that this county is very different from the previous one. I'll get up early tomorrow morning, go out early, walk around for a while, and learn more about the local customs and practices here."

Luo Hong: "After all, the maps I saw before were not complete and were very crudely made. It was impossible to see clearly what the situation was like where we were now. Your previous guess that we were in the modern Bashu area was reasonable.

If it is a parallel world, as long as the approximate geographical location is the same as the modern one, it is very likely to be in the Bashu territory.

You chose to settle here for a good reason. No matter what dynasty, Bashu is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

No matter what, living here is a good choice.”
