Judging from the woman's attire, even before she introduced herself, Ren Yuan could confirm that this was Sun Erniang!

"Oh dear, sir, it's so embarrassing to be staring at me like that! I'm a married woman!"

Seeing Ren Yuan looking her up and down, the woman, unaware of Ren Yuan's thoughts, thought that Ren Yuan was infatuated with her, and became even more unrestrained in her flirtatious behavior, her eyes also constantly scanning Ren Yuan.

"This leader is big and strong, he could be made into beef and sold. The skinny guy behind him, well, looks like he can only be sold as dog meat."

The woman thought to herself, and then looked at the bulging bundles on Ren Yuan and Shi Qian's bodies, and she was overjoyed.

"I'm really lucky today. I just ran into two idiots, and now two more have appeared. It seems like I'm destined to make a fortune today!"

"Sister, you're too kind. My brother and I are starving from our journey, and this place is sparsely populated. Your shop is a real lifesaver. Do you have anything to eat?"

Ren Yuan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked with a smile.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" The woman was also very happy, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons. "Sister's house has good wine, good meat, and when you want snacks, you get big steamed buns!"

"Then bring out all the good wine and meat! And twenty meat buns, please!"

Ren Yuan acted very magnanimously. Although Shi Qian didn't say anything, he cooperated with Ren Yuan. The woman had no suspicions and readily invited the two into the hotel.

After the two men were seated, the woman first brought over the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for each of them, and then said:

"Let's try the wine from my sister's house first. Everyone who passes by says it's good. The steamed buns are coming right now."

Then she turned around, swaying her hips as she prepared to go to the kitchen.

Taking advantage of the moment he turned around, Ren Yuan quickly poured the murky wine in his bowl under the table and used his body to block it. Shi Qian was even faster, pouring his wine directly as well.

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously and forcefully slammed their bowls down on the table, mimicking wiping their mouths, and loudly proclaiming:

"Good wine! This wine is delicious! Sister, quickly bring out the meat and steamed buns!"

The woman turned around and saw the two men's movements and the empty wine bowl. She was overjoyed and twisted her waist even more vigorously.

"Alright, alright, here's your steamed buns! And meat!"

After she finished speaking, she lifted the curtain and slipped into the kitchen. A moment later, three or five burly men came out of the shop, each carrying a piece of meat, and placed it on the table.

Once all the dishes were served, the strong and sturdy waiters didn't go back. Instead, they sat scattered around the hotel entrance, not saying a word, but their eyes kept glancing in their direction.

"Freshly baked meat buns! Here they are!"

The woman came out again, carrying a large plate filled with white, fluffy meat buns. She placed it on the table and said with a smile:

"Come on, everyone, have a taste."

"No rush, sister. May I ask your surname?"

Ren Yuan feigned a lecherous look and continued to ask.

"Oh dear, little brother, don't tease your older sister!" The woman pretended to be shy, but kept saying, "My surname is Sun, and everyone around calls me Second Sister."

Sun Erniang, the shrew! It really was you!

Ren Yuan nodded as he picked up a steamed bun, broke it in half, and asked:

"Sister Sun, these steamed buns smell so good, what kind of filling do they have?"

"Sister, these steamed buns are made with pure beef filling, I guarantee they'll taste great! Try them!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan sneered inwardly. With his sharp eyes, he had already spotted a black hair in the minced meat!

This is a human flesh bun!

But he didn't intend to expose it so easily. Instead, he pretended to suddenly realize something, then suddenly clutched his forehead, acted confused, and slumped onto the table unconscious.

Shi Qian saw that his brother was really into playing, so he quickly lay down to the side. As a former master thief, his technique of feigning unconsciousness was top-notch.

"Yes, yes!"

Sun Erniang plopped down on a table and clapped her hands in approval:

"Even if you're as cunning as a devil, you still have to drink my foot-washing water. You still want to flirt with me? That's just your bad luck!" After saying this, seeing her cooks grinning and staring at her, she wasn't angry at all, but instead said coquettishly:

"What are you all standing there for? You've seen this before, so get to work!"

The three or five men then stepped forward with smiles, preparing to carry Ren Yuan and Shi Qian inside. Unexpectedly, at that moment, a man walked in through the hotel entrance, and everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw him.

What does this man look like?

He wore a blue gauze scarf, a white cloth shirt, knee pads, hemp shoes, and a sack around his waist. He had a sculpted face with a few wispy stubbles and looked to be about thirty-four or thirty-five years old.

Upon seeing the scene inside the shop, the man immediately put down the load he was carrying and smiled at Sun Erniang, saying, "Madam, business is good!"

"Oh? Then this person must be Zhang Qing. Very good. A family should be complete."

Ren Yuan, who was pretending to be unconscious, secretly opened his eyes a crack and saw Zhang Qing's figure.

"Mistress, how much stock do you have today?"

After Zhang Qing entered the shop, the staff didn't rush to work. They handed him tea, and after taking a sip, he turned to ask one of the staff members a question.

"There was a big man and a hermit monk this morning, and now there are these two more, making a total of four today."

The guy called Xiao San answered honestly.

"Is there a Buddhist monk?"

Zhang Qing frowned and turned to ask Sun Erniang:

“Didn’t we agree that we wouldn’t kill monks or Taoist priests, prostitutes in brothels, or exiled criminals? How come we’ve managed to drug a wandering monk?”

Upon hearing this, Sun Erniang glared at her husband and sneered:

"You can use those words to fool others, but you dare to put on an act in front of me? Let me ask you, wasn't what you took to the village to sell human flesh? What kind of hero are you pretending to be in front of me?"

Seeing his wife's words, Zhang Qing immediately cowered, forcing a fawning smile as he said to Sun Erniang, "Wife, that's not how you say it. As the saying goes, one must think long-term. If we encounter heroes in this business, what's the big deal? Firstly, it allows them to spread our reputation for chivalry, and secondly, if we have to abandon this business in the future and wander the world, we'll have their help!"

Sun Erniang snorted coldly. She looked down on her husband and said irritably, "If you want to play the good guy, I won't bother you! But when I'm about to kill someone, don't come and bother me! Of these four people in the shop today, three are grown men. If I slaughter them, I'll have enough beef for half a month. This one may be skinny, but I can still sell it as dog meat. Don't get in my way! Besides, these two are bundled up and look like they have a lot of money!"

As Sun Erniang spoke, she rummaged through Ren Yuan and Shi Qian's luggage. When she touched the hard object in the package, she was overjoyed. She shook the package open forcefully, and all the items inside were poured out. The yellow and white objects that fell onto the table with a thud were dazzling to everyone.

"See, what did I tell you?"

Zhang Qing opened his eyes wide, looked at the table full of gold and silver, and laughed loudly at Sun Erniang:

"My lady is truly wise. With such advantages, let these people be at your disposal today!"

Sun Erniang rolled her eyes at Zhang Qing and went straight into the kitchen to prepare.

Zhang Qing then stepped forward to collect the gold and silver, and walked to the door, turning his back to Ren Yuan and Shi Qian, deliberately saying:

"The world is a dangerous place. Don't blame us for being ruthless. You two delivered yourselves to our doorstep. We're the butchers and you're the fish on the chopping block. Go see the King of Hell, and don't die a foolish death!"

After saying that, Zhang Qing waved his hand, signaling the workers that they could move the person away.

As for him, he wanted to stand there for a while longer and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shizipo!

"boom!"

But the next second, a figure screamed and flew past Zhang Qing like a thrown stone, crashing heavily into the hotel wall, shaking the entire shop. Then it slumped to the ground, almost lifeless.

Zhang Qing looked closely and realized that this was none other than the guy called Xiao San.

But before he could make a move, a murderous voice rang out behind him:

"You just said, who is the butcher?"
