I want to ruin the country

Wenqing has bad teeth, so he ate all meat today. Some of the food got stuck in his teeth, but he chewed it slowly.

Hongxiu and Qingxi did not move as they were not in a position to show up in public.

Outside the cafeteria is the front counter, where four people are standing and arguing with the shopkeeper.

The leader wore a nine-beam Taoist hat, a Taoist robe, and had a long beard.

His beard was all white, but his complexion was ruddy, and it was hard to tell how old he was. He looked like an immortal.

The second one was a burly man in his forties with a beard and a somewhat ferocious look.

The third one was a girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Although he is not tall, he is petite and has a beautiful oval face.

She has crescent-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a small mouth under her straight nose, and two dimples that appear from time to time on her face.

Her jet-black, shiny hair was wet by the rain, looking just like mist-shrouded peonies and rain-moistened crabapples.

The girl also saw Yining, and her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she saw an acquaintance.

However, that flash of light was only for a moment, and the girl immediately turned her head away.

Yining couldn't help but feel moved. What a beautiful girl, she was not inferior to Hongxiu Qingxi and the others.

The fourth one was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, of medium build, with fair skin, thin eyebrows and eyes.

Judging from his features, he is a handsome young man, and he bears some resemblance to that girl.

However, Yining vaguely felt that the young man's eyes were rolling around, and there seemed to be an evil aura about him. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a good person.

Yining wondered, are the Taoist priests and these people in the same group?

Yi Guofang was stunned when he saw the Taoist priest and the others. Isn't this the Taoist priest who stayed in the same inn with him in Baoding? Why did he come to Cangzhou again?

The old Taoist also saw Yi Guofang, bowed and said,

"Layman, we are destined to be together!"

The Iranian defense returned the salute.

"You are polite, Taoist priest!"

After saying hello, the Taoist turned around and said to the shopkeeper Ma,

"Shopkeeper, it's good for both you and others. We're staying here for free, but you're so stubborn and unwilling to pay. Where can we find shelter in this heavy rain?"

When Yining heard this, he realized that the Taoist had a Shaanxi accent.

The shopkeeper said,

"Master Dao, it's not that I don't want you to stay here, it's just that there are no rooms left. You'd better be so kind as to look elsewhere!"

The bearded man said,

"Shopkeeper, your waiter told us right when we walked in that there are plenty of rooms. You can stay in as many as you want, as long as you have the money.

Now you say you don’t have a house, what do you mean?”

This bearded man does speak with a Sichuan accent.

The young man also said,

"Why aren't our copper coins the imperial court's money and therefore cannot be spent?"

This guy also has a Sichuan accent.

The Taoist priest waved his hand, meaning that they should stop talking, and he bowed his head.

"Boundless Buddha, we just heard about this from the inn next door. Their inn is low-end, and it's raining today, so it's full of peddlers and hawkers staying there!

Only your Ma family’s old store is unaffordable for ordinary people to stay in, so there are vacancies!

If it hadn't rained, we could have spent the night at the Taoist temple outside the city!

But the rain is getting heavier. You have a house but you won't let us stay. Are you trying to raise the price or are you afraid that we are bandits?"

The shopkeeper Ma said,

"You, Taoist priest, are being unreasonable. Don't even mention that I don't have a house here. Even if I did, I wouldn't want to sell it. It's up to me. Why are you so unreasonable?"

The young man slapped the counter.

"You are such an ungrateful person! I was trying to reason with you in a friendly manner, but you resorted to using a hammer!

We have booked this hotel today, whether you ask us to or not, we have to stay here, you son of a bitch!"

The shopkeeper was also anxious.

"Hey, you're still going to use force, right? I don't believe there's no law in Cangzhou City!

"San'er, go report it to the authorities. Let me see if they are even more ruthless than the government!"

When the Taoist heard that he was going to report to the police, he glared at the young man and said,

"Boss, the child is ignorant. Since you really don't have a room, we won't bother you anymore!"

Having said that, he turned around and was about to leave!

Yining listened for a long time but still couldn't understand why the shopkeeper didn't let these people stay.

Watching from the side, the bearded man and the young man seemed very dissatisfied, and the young man even put his hand into his waist.

He took a step forward and said,

"Boss, it's cloudy and rainy. Can you clear out a few rooms for them? Otherwise, they have to go find a place to stay in the rain!"

The shopkeeper glanced at Yining.

I thought to myself, you know nothing, why are you pretending to be a good person?

I have plenty of spare rooms. If you want them to live there, you're the one who needs my help!

But Yining said it out loud, and he didn't want to offend his customers, so he said,

"Sir, it's not that I have a room but I can't let you stay here. It's just that a guest has booked a room but hasn't arrived yet.

If I let these people stay here, I won’t be able to explain to them when they come!"

Obviously, this is the shopkeeper's excuse!

The Taoist saw that the shopkeeper was still reluctant, so he said,

"Forget it, let's go!"

A trace of malice flashed in the bearded man's eyes, and he said,

"Boss, just let us stay here and I'll double the money!"

The young man also said,

"Since your guests are coming, we would rather vacate the room!

How about just leaving without refunding your money?"

Yining said again,

"That's fine too. You've made double the profit, boss!"

The four of them, including the old Taoist priest, stared at Shopkeeper Ma closely, but he was still a little hesitant.

Yining said again,

"Boss, if your guests come, we can also make two rooms available.

It's good for you to help others, but you shouldn't let them run around in the rain! "

Having said that, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything more. He had to consider the Buddha's face instead of the monk's!

"Sir, if I don't keep you here, I'll be unreasonable. We agreed that if guests come, you have to help me!"

Yining smiled,

"sure!"

The girl didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Yining helped them, and she just looked at Yining deeply again.

The Taoist and the bearded man also thanked Yining, and then everyone went back to their rooms!

Yining returned upstairs, and Yifang and his three uncles followed him up.

"Fourth Master, those old Taoist priests are just wandering around the world, they are not authentic!"

Yining Road,

"Yes, isn't he a street performer?"

Iraqi Defense Road,

"Fourth Master, this world of theirs is not simple!"

Yi Fangfang told about what happened in Baoding last time.

"I have no evidence, and I can't do anything to them!

But I feel that the young man looks familiar, and I suspect he might be the one who is going to steal our gold and silver!"

Yining nodded.

"It seems they are really not simple. Do you see what they are doing?"

Iraqi Defense Road,

"My eyesight is limited and I cannot see their intentions, but they don't look like bandits.

But there is a sinister aura about them, different from the ordinary heroes of the martial arts world. I cannot understand it!"
