Main Text Chapter 508 A Strong Family
The old signboard doesn't look like a fake, and the words on the signboard are in line with what Yao Ruoxian said. There is a fragrant smell of wine and meat in it, so it should be a genuine inn.
What surprised Miao Yi the most was that there were coconut trees in twos and threes everywhere. There were actually coconut trees in the desert?
The exterior wall of the inn was made of logs, which looked thick and old.
The environment of the entire inn is a circle of shoulder-high earth walls with stables and other sheds inside, and the inn is in the middle.
Miao Yi held Cheng Yingwu hostage and jumped off the eagle's back, and retreated towards the door of the inn while watching the surroundings.
At this moment, a purple stream of light led two red streams of light and fell outside the store. An old man with gray hair in a ponytail, a plump woman in floral clothes, and a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Father, mother, brother!" Cheng Yingwu's sister and brother saluted the three visitors.
"All the six heads of the swarm are here!" Someone watching the excitement laughed.
Miao Yi, who had already arrived at the door of the store, was shocked. The people in charge were all members of the same family, and the old man with Zilian cultivation should be Cheng Yaowei.
The old man in loose robes and a ponytail stared at Miao Yi at the door of the store and asked, "What's going on?"
"The fourth sister missed it and fell into someone else's hands." Cheng Yingwu's second sister explained.
"It's only a matter of time before this girl falls into the hands of others. It's her luck that they didn't kill her." Cheng Yaowei snorted coldly and stepped forward: "Friend! Since you don't want to kill her, let her go. Let her go, I'll just promise not to cause trouble to you in the future."
It seemed that the other party did not dare to do anything in this yard, but Miao Yi still felt unsafe, so he put Cheng Yingwu directly into the beast's bag, put away the unicorn gun in his hand, and retreated into the inn. Cheng Yaowei and his family They also followed in, giving the impression that they were about to fight in a group.
A waiter with a white scarf draped over his shoulders came over from the side. He said with a smile: "Guys, there are eighty tables and eighty rooms in the small shop. You can eat, drink and stay here. Those who spend money are all customers. Those who don't spend money will not be entertained. The small shop cannot accommodate so many idle people."
Miao Yi looked around. The place inside is not small, and there are many tables arranged, but there are not many tables with customers, so it seems a bit deserted. It must be too late. On the counter, a man dressed as a scholar is lying down and taking a nap. He turned around and said, "I want some good food and wine on the table. I want to discuss something with Master Cheng."
"Okay! There's a table full of good food and wine, please come in!" The waiter led Miao Yi to the table next to the wall in the back. He pulled off the white scarf on his shoulders, quickly wiped the tables and chairs, and asked to sit down: "Wait a moment, everyone. , the food and drinks will be here soon." Then he left.
After Miao Yi sat down. Yi extended his hand to several people to sit down. Cheng Yaowei and the woman each took a seat, while Cheng Yingwu's eldest brother, second sister and third brother stood behind them.
"Master Cheng, do you know the names of these people?" Miao Yi looked at the people and asked.
Cheng Yaowei couldn't help but look at Miao Yi up and down, and found that this guy looked calm and not afraid of him at all.
The woman in colorful clothes next to him introduced herself crisply: "Wu Qunfang!"
"Cheng Yingfei, Cheng Yingxia, Cheng Yingxiang." Cheng Yingwu's eldest brother, second sister and third brother all reported their names one by one. They were all crisp and neat, and their brows were somewhat similar. They all stared at Miao Yi coldly. They were indeed a family.
Cheng Yaowei said: "Boy, stop talking nonsense and tell me how to let go of my fourth child."
Miao Yi didn't want to talk nonsense to him either. "I want to know who is trying to kill me!"
Cheng Yaowei: "We don't know who the employer is. We only charge money to do things and only contact middlemen. Unless the employer finds us directly, it's pretty much the same."
"The middleman should know. You help me pry it out from his mouth, and I will return Cheng Yingwu to you." Miao Yi directly made the conditions.
Wu Qunfang on the side said: "Boy, let alone we can't pry it out from the mouth of the middleman, even if we can pry it out, we can't do it. A swarm of bees can gain a foothold in Liuyunshahai by relying on fists and reputation. Really If you have betrayed your employer, you won’t have to hang out in Liuyunshahai anymore, so you should change your conditions!”
Miao Yi shook his head and said: "It's none of my business whether you can hang out in the Liuyunshahai Sea. I only know that your daughter is in my hands. I just want to know who the employer is!"
Cheng Yaowei said solemnly: "Let my daughter go, and I will promise not to touch you again. This time we are in trouble. We will pay double the amount to the middleman according to the rules and cancel this mission. This is our bottom line. Don’t think about anything else!”
Miao Yi smiled and said: "Master Cheng, you seem to have made a mistake. It was you who begged me, not me who begged you. It is your daughter who is in my hands!"
Cheng Yaowei said: "So what? Let the fourth child go, we let you go, otherwise I guarantee that you will die miserably as soon as you walk out of Fengyun Inn. If you have the ability, stay here for the rest of your life and don't go out!"
Miao Yi snorted: "I am not a gentleman. My daughter is pretty pretty. I can't guarantee whether I will do anything else."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Qunfang and the three children behind him suddenly looked angry.
Cheng Yaowei had already slapped the table and stood up, glared and sneered: "I have had six wives and more than twenty children in my life, and all the living ones are standing in front of you. The others died in various ways, including two My wife and four daughters were all raped and killed, and even their naked bodies were thrown in front of me. I didn’t give in for any other reason, just because if this family collapsed, no one in the whole family would be left. I want to live a good life. I can't ruin the reputation of a whole family just for the sake of one person's life. Just do whatever you want to the fourth child. I will avenge her later and all my children will die. If you don't get the fourth child out of the inn safely before sunrise, you'll never leave the inn! Get ready to collect the fourth child's body!"
He turned around and waved, inviting his wife and children to leave together. Wu Qunfang looked back, her eyes a little sad, but she still turned back and followed her husband resolutely.
Miao Yi's expression twitched. The method that could threaten Cheng Yingwu was of no use to this old guy. He was too cool. He didn't expect to run into such a person. He had just experienced the customs of Liuyunshahai when he first came here. The strength of human kindness.
"Wait!" Miao Yi stood up and shouted.
The family stopped and looked back. Miao Yi smiled bitterly and asked, "I let her go, can you really promise not to cause trouble to me?"
Wu Qunfang immediately spoke up: "What a swarm of people say is credibility. We don't even want our own daughter's life for credibility. How can your life be better than my daughter's life?"
Miao Yi was silent and said, "Then I will add another condition!"
Cheng Yaowei snorted coldly and turned to leave. Wu Qunfang grabbed her husband's arm and advised, "It's not too late to say anything after listening. If it's too much, just ignore it." After all, she was her daughter. She turned around and said to Miao Yi, "You go first tell me the story!"
Miao Yi said slowly: "If I want to leave the Flowing Clouds and Sand Sea, you must protect me from leaving safely! This is also my bottom line. Now someone wants to kill me, and I don't even know who it is. If I can't leave safely, there are people around me. It's a dead end, so I might as well take your daughter's back! Your daughter almost killed me, and I've already given you enough face by not killing her, so don't force me!"
This request is not too much! Wu Qunfang glanced at her husband, saw that he didn't say anything, and immediately responded: "Okay! I promise you!" After speaking, she looked at Miao Yi expectantly.
"I hope you keep your word!" Miao Yi took Cheng Yingwu out of the beast's bag, untied her in public, and threw her out.
As soon as Wu Qunfang took it into his arms, the brothers and sisters behind him immediately gathered around. An eighth-grade red lotus appeared between Wu Qunfang's eyebrows, obviously casting a spell, while the frost on Cheng Yingwu's body became thicker and thicker, and the poison in his body was obviously forced out.
After a while, there was a "bang", and the frost covering Cheng Yingwu's body exploded to the ground. Under the active spell casting of his mother, Cheng Yingwu faintly opened his eyes, saw his mother, and called out weakly, "Mother."
This is because he has been corroded by the evil spirit for too long and his vitality has been damaged. Fortunately, he was treated in time, otherwise he would have been wasted even if he did not die.
After the inspection, Wu Qunfang said to Cheng Yaowei: "It's nothing serious. It's just that the evil spirit has damaged the vitality. Just rest for a while and it will be fine."
Cheng Yaowei nodded, looked at Miao Yi again, and did not expect the other party to return what he had taken from his daughter, so he turned around and said, "Let's go!"
The whole family just left.
Miao Yi was helpless. He originally wanted to use Cheng Yingwu as a hostage to dig out the people behind him, but who wanted to encounter such a tough family and be made lose temper. Looking at the people looking at the few tables here, he also sat down.
After a while, the waiter who brought the tray put the food and wine on the table and said with a smile: "Please take your time, sir!"
The taste is okay! Miao Yi ate slowly while observing the environment in the inn. Apart from being tidy and clean, there was nothing special about it. At most, it had a bit of an exotic feel. He didn't know what kind of person the boss here was. He actually made Cheng Yaowei like this. The Zilian masters don’t dare to cause trouble here.
It's just that it's too late now, it's already late at night, there aren't even a few customers in sight, and the boss isn't here either.
When the food was almost done, Miao Yi shouted, "Check out!"
The waiter came over, nodded, bowed and smiled: "Ten thousand gold crystals!"
Miao Yi was stunned, pointed to the things on the table, and said slightly shocked: "Such a small thing costs 10,000 gold crystals?"
The waiter smiled and said: "It seems that this is my first time here. It doesn't matter. I will explain to you. This is the rule of our store. As long as you enter this door, no matter what food or drinks you eat, it will be 10,000 gold crystals. You can take it." You can exchange it for ten wish beads. If you really don’t have any money, you can bring something. I’ll ask someone from the Chamber of Commerce to exchange it for you immediately. In addition, it’s not just money for food and drinks, it also comes with a room for you. One day’s stay is free. Of course, it doesn’t matter whether you live here or not, it’s the same for everyone, so I’m not trying to rip you off.”
The food and wine are average, but this restaurant is quite dark! Miao Yi murmured in his heart, but thinking that he could live here for a day and spend 10,000 gold crystals to buy a day's safety here, it was still a good deal. It was really not expensive at all, so he followed the waiter to the counter to check out.
