Chapter 90 Inn
Author: Xia Mobifei
"Then thank you——"
Hearing Jin Qi's words, Zhao Qing felt a little warm in his heart.
The first 16 years of her life were unfortunate, as she had experienced a lot.
For example, if your mother abandons you, your father doesn't like it.
He was also betrayed by his nanny and abandoned by his stepmother——
I almost starved to death and froze to death.
However, she was lucky enough to meet her senior sister and join the Houde Sect.
He was chased and fell into a cliff, but he survived the catastrophe. He also accepted a disciple, a loyal maid, and even met Jin Qi, a person who values friendship and loyalty.
There is a small town next to this mine.
Most of the miners are from this town or the villages near the town.
The land quality here is not good and the grain yield is extremely low.
Therefore, the lives of residents around this town are extremely difficult.
Even the small town is a bit desolate and not prosperous.
This town is called Yinxi Town, and there is only one inn and restaurant in the town.
Even this inn is in a shabby state.
However, passing guests can only stay here, after all, there is no second inn within a hundred miles.
Unless you live in the homes of residents here, you will have to sleep on the streets.
However, this is not a simple matter.
A few years ago, the residents here were quite hospitable.
He often takes in passers-by.
Some haven't even collected a penny.
Unfortunately, several families were later wiped out by passers-by.
The blood flowed all over the ground.
Since then, these residents have become cowardly.
We no longer dare to take in foreigners or passers-by.
Therefore, the business of this inn became booming in an instant.
When Zhao Qing arrived at the inn, there were exactly two rooms left in the inn.
There are four of them, two men and two women, and they fit into the same room.
However, it's a bit expensive.
One low-grade spiritual stone per room per day.
"Isn't your fee a bit expensive?"
"It's not expensive. What I charge here is the price of the room. If the guest is willing, four people can stay in one room."
The shopkeeper had a smile on his face. "However, food is charged separately, and meals are not included."
Zhao Qing: "······"
"Forget it, there's only one inn nearby."
Jin Qi placed a high-grade spiritual stone on the counter.
"Let's keep it tight for now. If the time comes, we'll make up the money. If the time doesn't come -"
"We'll make up the difference."
The smile on the shopkeeper's face deepened.
He quickly collected the high-grade spiritual stone.
Anyway, when the time comes, he has the final say on how much the difference will be.
"It's okay. If the time doesn't arrive, we will stay until it arrives. We can't waste it."
Shopkeeper: “·······”
"Okay, I'll give you a high-grade spiritual stone."
One high-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to a hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
They have two low-grade spiritual stones a day, which means they can stay in this inn for fifty days——
The shopkeeper called the waiter to lead them to the room.
Their two rooms are connected together.
Just inside the very corner.
It's a bit shabby - but the windows and doors are still solid.
Zhao Qing: "······"
Jin Qi took a banknote and handed it to the waiter, asking him to clean it up.
This is a one hundred tael silver note.
The waiter's face suddenly burst into laughter.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I will clean up right away——"
The waiter called another waiter over, and the two of them were very agile and quickly cleared out both rooms.
Although it is still very dilapidated, it is still habitable.
"Xiao Er, I want to ask you something."
When the waiter was packing up everything and preparing to leave, Zhao Qing held a gold leaf and waved it in front of the waiter.
The waiter’s eyes brightened even more.
"Miss, if you ask me, I will definitely tell you everything."
"That's good—there's a mine here?"
"Of course, there is a very large mine just outside."
"So, are there many people in this mine?"
"Of course there are more. People in our town and people from nearby villages are all working as miners in that mine."
The monthly monthly income is not high, but it is still better than farming.
At least I can support my family.
"Besides, our mine owner is a good man. These miners are here to help. The real workers are all mining slaves." When the word "mining slaves" was mentioned, the boy's voice became a little lower.
"Mining slave?" Zhao Qing raised her eyebrows. Yes, those people wanted to send her to be a mining slave that day.
"These are extremely evil people, and they were sent here only after suffering retribution. It would be a shame not to die."
Zhao Qing asked a few more questions and then gave him the gold leaf.
According to this waiter, everything is fine with the owner of the mine.
He is a great kind man——
But how is it possible.
It is said that those mining slaves are extremely evil. If they are really that bad, how can these miners survive?
Besides, if she hadn't left early, she would still be a mine slave now.
She has never done anything bad.
"What do we do next?"
"Let's take a look at the situation."
If one person's statement is unreliable, ask a few more people to inquire.
But you can't do it too blatantly, after all, it's on someone else's territory.
The first day in Yinxi Town.
They didn't think about doing anything more. Just when a few of them had freshened up and were about to go to bed, the door of the inn was kicked open with a bang.
Zhao Qing and Zhao Die quickly put on their clothes.
To avoid being caught off guard when something happens.
"Honor, I want to book the entire inn!"
