Volume 40 Chapter 25
The snow on the street was trampled by the pedestrians coming and going, and it had long been turned into a piece of soft and cold mud. The man who was thrown out of the inn and the tattered bedding that was tied up fell directly into the mud Among them, all the pedestrians on the street hurriedly gave way, while Zhang Tie and some pedestrians stood by and watched.
Several men with big arms and round waists, together with the inn chef in chef's clothes and holding a whistle, stood at the door of the inn, looking fiercely at the person who was thrown out, and one of the articulate men clasped his fists After a circle, he said loudly, "Everyone, neighbors and friends, we drove this person out of Yue'an Inn today. It was not because the owner of the store was bullying and domineering, but because this person had been in my inn for more than a week. We can't get the money for copper coins. Our inn owner was soft-hearted at first, and let him stay for a few more days when he has no money because of the cold outside. Who would have thought that this person not only has no money, but also plans to hang on forever If you want to eat and live in our inn for free, you will treat us as easy to bully, and there is no such reason when you travel all over the world. Today, we can't bear it anymore and kicked this person out of Yue'an Inn. Please also be a witness. Life and death have nothing to do with us!"
The angry person who was thrown out of the inn was trembling all over, stood up from the ground covered in mud, pointed at the few young people in the inn, and said angrily, "You...you...you are too bullying... The rent and food I paid at the inn...have been...already paid until the end of January, and the time has not come yet...you kicked me out, what's the reason..."
"When you came, our shopkeeper already told you that the room rate of our Yue'an Inn is based on the market, one price per day, the price is cheap during the off-season, and the price is expensive during the peak season of holidays. The rent you mentioned is ten. In January, starting from December, the housing prices in Baohu City are rising, and the housing prices of various inns are also rising. The housing prices and food expenses of our Yue'an Inn are also rising. Follow the trend, the money you pay, Just after the Chinese New Year, it’s gone. It’s our shopkeeper who sees you as pitiful, so we let you stay for a few more days. Even if you go to the Yamen to sue us, it’s so funny. A person like you is still a pharmacist. All the alchemists are like you, but the alchemists are not as good as the coolies on the pier..."
"Hahaha...that I'm not a pharmacist...if I wasn't a pharmacist, how could I have fallen to where I am today..." The middle-aged man who was in a mess laughed bitterly, his eyes were red, and his sanity seemed to be a little blurred He tore off his wet clothes, exposed his chest to the cold wind, and shouted to the sky, "Come and kill me, come and kill me, I knew you wouldn't let me go, Come and kill me, everyone in this world is a dog and a dog, what is the point of me falling to this level for the sake of the people in this world, if you want to poison the world, just do it, if you want to kill me, just do it Come and kill me, don’t you have eyes and hands, aren’t you going to turn all the medicinal materials in Taixia into poison that kills people without blood, come and kill me, come and kill me..."
After being driven away by the inn and the verbal stimulation and humiliation of the inn clerk, the middle-aged man who was thrown out of the inn in full view seemed to have gone crazy. This crazy momentum scared the inn clerks back Two steps, strictly guarding the entrance of the inn, to prevent him from rushing into the inn and causing any trouble under the madness. The people watching the excitement around him, except Zhang Tie, all dispersed quickly.
"Ah, this person's sanity is already a little abnormal, call the criminal arrester to take this person down, if he hurts someone, it will be a bit troublesome..." Someone around said in a low voice.
"Send him to the good doctor's office and let the doctor take a look. In such a cold day, people are going crazy, it's poor..."
Hearing the words of the people around,
The man laughed even more crazily, tears came out, "Yeah, I'm a lunatic, I'm a lunatic..."
"Heroes have shortness of breath. When no one is in distress, there is nothing to see here. Everyone who is watching should disperse. This friend, don't get too excited!" Just as everyone was watching, a clear and calm The voice came out from the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a tall and straight young man wearing a snow-proof cape standing behind the crowd and speaking, judging from the voice, the person who spoke The age of the person should not be very old, it seems that he is less than twenty years old, but people with sharp eyes can find that the cloak and the boots on the young man's feet are well-made, rare things on the market, and this young man There is an unspeakable aura about him, even if he doesn't show his face, it can't help but make people feel a little awed.
"Ha, let's go, let's go..."
There seemed to be a magical power in the young man's words. When he heard the young man say goodbye, the onlookers really dispersed one by one. The young man's words also seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, and he didn't yell any more outrageous things.
Of course it was Zhang Tie who spoke, and Zhang Tie had already used a hint of the secret method of the soul-absorbing and forbidden art in his words. Although he was talking, it was the most comfortable to hear in the ears of other people. If the words are the best to listen to, he will act according to the meaning of his words without knowing it. When the crowd dispersed, Zhang Tie walked out from the crowd and came to the door of the inn. A few guys at the door of the inn said, "How much does this person owe your inn here?"
For some reason, the guy who was eloquent just now shrank his head in fear and said in a low voice, "This person... stayed in our inn for a few more days, after all, he still owes our inn more than 20 silver coins. We are also in small business..."
"Okay, I know your difficulties, and I can't blame you, hold..." With a flick of Zhang Tie's finger, a gold coin flew out of his hand, drew a beautiful golden arc in the air, and fell to the ground. In the hands of the clerk, "I paid for the money he owed for him, and I don't have to look for the rest. I told you shopkeeper that it is a good thing to save people in a crisis, but it would be even better if you can start well and end well..."
"Yes... yes... yes, thank you, thank you..." With the gold coins in hand, several inn clerks laughed all of a sudden, and became more polite to Zhang Tie. Customers are welcomed wherever they go.
"Has he left anything else in your inn?"
"No, no more!" The inn clerk shook his head quickly, "When he came, he brought such a ragged cotton blanket to keep out the cold, and he didn't bring anything else!"
Zhang Tie turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who was just mad and excited, now wrapped in clothes, calmed down, his face turned blue in the cold wind, and said calmly, "Come with me!"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, followed Zhang Tie and took two steps, looked at the broken bedding on the ground that had fallen into the mud, and wanted to pick it up again.
"Don't pick it up, it's already dirty and wet, just throw it away!"
Hearing Zhang Tie's words, the middle-aged man stopped his movements, and then obediently shrank his body and followed behind Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie took the middle-aged man on the road for a while, Zhang Tie didn't speak, neither did the middle-aged man. The two walked for more than ten minutes until they reached another more prosperous street and came to a place called " Jinyun Hotel" stopped.
This "Jinyun Hotel", regardless of its grades and specifications, is simply not known how many times higher than the inn just now. Although it is cold, the garden outside the hotel is still green. There is a huge glass-steel sky dome on the top, and there is heating on the ground. The bright marble floor is radiant without any dust. Two rows of tall and beautiful girls are welcoming guests at the door.
Zhang Tie walked in directly, and the middle-aged man looked at the ostentation of the hotel, and he hesitated for a while, not daring to go in.
"Why, I didn't even want my life just now, but now I dare not even enter a hotel!" Zhang Tie turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, took out his aggressive driver, and followed Zhang Tie in.
"Sir, are you going to..." A girl welcoming guests from a hotel came over, and glanced at Zhang Tie and the middle-aged man who was following Zhang Tie. Nobility, but the middle-aged man behind him was a bit sloppy, the two of them seemed to be from two worlds.
"Prepare me a different courtyard..." Zhang Tie said, and directly handed over a 1,000 gold coin ticket. When the welcoming girl saw this "big denomination" gold ticket, she swallowed everything else. With such a golden ticket, it is enough for two people to stay in the most expensive courtyard of the hotel for a year with food and accommodation.
Under the surprised eyes of a group of well-dressed gentlemen and ladies who went to and from the hotel, the little girl welcoming guests directly took Zhang Tie and the middle-aged man to a quiet hot spring courtyard in the hotel. .
"Look at his figure, and bring him some decent clothes, shoes and socks, the price doesn't matter!" Zhang Tie said to the girl who welcomed guests. There are high-end shopping malls in hotels of this class. It is very convenient to buy things like clothes.
After the welcoming girl left, Zhang Tie said to the middle-aged man, "Go take a shower first, change your clothes, and then come out and talk to me..."
After explaining this, Zhang Tie sat quietly in the living room of the other courtyard, drinking tea, waiting for the middle-aged man to come out of the shower and talk to him. (To be continued.)
