Chapter 40

Planning to save people

"Brother Changsheng, we plan to stay at Tongfu Inn, do you want to go to this hotel too?"

Lin Changsheng was about to reply, but was stopped by Lin Dalang.

"Dad, what do you know? My uncle has already inquired about it. This Tongfu Inn is a place where poor people only go to for cheap. How can we go there? Before we set off, my grandma listened to everything I said."

Lin Changsheng smiled helplessly at Lin Darong, his hands a little overwhelmed.

"this……"

"Brother Changsheng, let's leave first. You guys should go and do your work too!"

"Uncle Darong, I said you sent your uncle to take the exam, but my mistress didn't even give you some money for accommodation? If you are poor and don't even have this little money, why should you take the exam? Even if you are admitted as a child student, you will have to study in Fucheng for three years.

Your whole family must not drink from the northwest wind!"

Lin Changsheng stopped Lin Dalang and whispered: "Dalang, these are all your uncles. Don't talk like this."

"Dad, please stop talking. What did my grandma say? Have you forgotten it again?"

Lin Changsheng couldn't control his son, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Lin Darong glanced at Lin Dalang, "Whether we drink Northwest Wind or not has nothing to do with you. Dalang, you have been studying in the academy for so many years. Have you read this book into a dog's belly? You don't even respect your elders."

"you……"

When Lin Changsheng saw that Lin Darong was angry, he quickly pulled Lin Dalang away.

While they were talking, the female shopkeeper of Tongfu Inn leaned against the gate and watched for a long time.

When they saw Lin Darong, they almost walked to the door and shouted into the room, "Come out from the small hall to receive guests."

"Okay! Come on."

A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old came out of the room and hurriedly greeted Lin Darong and the others.

"Is the guest staying in a hotel?"

"Yes, second brother, do you still have a room?"

"Guests, you are lucky to have come here. There are so many people here to take the exam, and there are only three rooms left. Each room costs twenty cents a day. How many do you want?"

"Give us three rooms!"

"Okay, sir, please come in~"

Lin Darong and the others followed the waiter and walked into the inn.

The female shopkeeper asked the waiter to arrange a quieter room for them on the side.

They also had someone bring them some hot water.

Lin Darong put Ah Li on the bed, covered him with a quilt and went downstairs.

He walked to the inn counter and said to the female shopkeeper who was settling accounts: "Sir, how much does it cost to add a set of bedding to our room?"

The female shopkeeper stopped what she was doing and looked at Lin Darong.

"Are you here to take the exam?"

"Yes, my third brother is rushing to take the exam, and we came with him."

"I'll have Xiaotang deliver it to your room later. No need to pay extra."

"This is inappropriate."

"There's nothing inappropriate. I think you like it. Okay, I have other things to do, so you can go and do whatever you need to do!"

Lin Darong then thanked him.

When he turned around and was about to go back to the room, he saw Lin Dalang and Lin Changsheng Fang coming in.

Lin Changsheng walked in front, "Does the shopkeeper still have a room?"

The female shopkeeper raised her head and glanced, then she said while calculating the accounts: "No more."

"How could there be no room? Aren't they all occupied?"

Lin Dalang pointed at Lin Darong.

"They want the last three rooms."

"It's okay if the other two inns are full, but your shabby inn can still be full?"

When the female shopkeeper heard this, she was unhappy and slammed the abacus on the table.

Bang!

"This is a shabby inn, so don't come in. Get out of here. We won't accept people like you."

Lin Dalang was furious and wanted to go up to argue with her, but Lin Changsheng stopped him.

Lin Changsheng was about to ask Lin Darong if he could share a room with them.

"Da Rong..."

Before he could say anything, Ah Li stood at the top of the stairs and shouted to Lin Darong: "Brother, I want to go to the latrine."

Lin Darong immediately turned around and went upstairs to take Ah Li to the latrine.

Lin Dalang and others were left staring at each other, and walked out of the inn dejectedly.

Lin Darong and Ah Li share a room, Lin Errong and the coachman share a room, and Lin Sanrong has a separate room to have a good rest if he has to take exams.

They didn't get a good rest last night either, so they all went to sleep after finishing their busy work.

It was already past noon when I woke up.

Ah Li had woken up long ago and was sitting on the bed obediently playing.

They went shopping in the afternoon and bought a test basket, which was equipped with things for the test.

I also bought some food that can be stored.

This time A Li also prepared some emergency pills for him.

Early the next morning, they got up early and escorted Lin Sanrong to the gate of Gongyuan.

There are many more people taking the prefecture exam than the county exam. After all, everyone from Yongning Prefecture is here.

Many relatives came to see him off.

Soon they arrived at Lin Sanrong, and he took the test basket from Lin Darong's hand.

"Brother, please go back to the inn quickly! There are many people here, so don't step on the carp."

"Okay, then you take good care of yourself in there, and we will pick you up when the time comes."

"good."

Ah Li waved his hand towards Lin Sanrong, "Third brother, you will definitely pass the exam."

Lin Sanrong smiled and waved to her, "Third brother, please don't run around and wait for third brother to come out."

Watching him enter the examination room, Lin Darong hugged Ah Li and squeezed out of the crowd.

They had to stay at the inn for five days, so they checked out a room in order to save money. Anyway, Lin Sanrong would not be able to come out until five days later.

The government examination is in full swing.

After staying in the inn for two days, Ah Li became familiar with the female shopkeeper.

Every day when she goes downstairs to play, the female shopkeeper will prepare some delicious food for her.

That day she was cracking melon seeds and sunbathing with the female shopkeeper in front of the inn.

At this time, an old man walked not far away from them and suddenly fell down.

Pedestrians who were passing by immediately gathered around him.

The female shopkeeper curiously stopped eating melon seeds, but she never liked to join in the fun, so she didn't get up.

Ah Li said with a curious face: "Sister Yun, let's go and have a look too!"

"What's so good about it? I guess my health is failing due to my old age."

Seeing Ah Li's eyes staring there, the female shopkeeper had no choice but to lead Ah Li and squeeze into the crowd.

There was blood oozing out from where the old man lay, but no one at the scene came to help save him.

Because in this city, some time ago, a group of people deliberately took advantage of other people's sympathy to pretend to be sick and injured. When someone saved him, he said that she was blackmailed a lot of money. Things happened more and more, and people here are not so warm-hearted.

.

It is impossible to avoid such things.

Ah Li touched the old man's pulse and found that he was suffering from vertigo.

She raised her head and said to the female shopkeeper: "Sister Yun, grandpa is sick. Can we save him?"

When the female shopkeeper Luo Yun heard that the little girl wanted to save the old man, she frowned slightly.

"Ah Li, it's not that Aunt Yun doesn't want to save him. There is no family around this old man. If we take him back to the inn and he dies, we won't be able to tell clearly at that time. Let's wait until his family comes to find him!"

"But if we wait any longer, grandpa may really die. He broke his forehead and bled too much."
