Chapter 2 Fright Night
In the flash of time, time flies. It has been half a month since he became a young man at Dongsheng Inn. Bai Shier, the little beggar, is already very familiar with his work. Similarly, he is also familiar with everyone at Dongsheng Inn.
Needless to say, the shopkeeper Sun Ji has been dealing with him the day when Bai Shier appeared outside the Dongsheng Inn. Although he was very proud and liked to be sour, he was still very good at talking about Bai Shier. Although he was a little arrogant and never showed it to the surface, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Sun Ji regarded Bai Shier as his junior. Although this kind of love is sometimes reflected in beating and scolding...
The chef Li Dali, who was holding the spoon, was as powerful as his name. The nearly ten kilogram iron pot weighing was like a toy in his hands. In the first amazement from Bai Shier when he saw the other party, Li Dali showed off his hands a few more, which made Bai Shier unable to help but sigh. Although, compared to his ability to play with the pot, his cooking skills seemed a bit sorry for this ability...
Wang Jinbao, a "professional talent" who is responsible for helping guests to pull horses and donkeys and serves large animals. Of course, before Bai Shier was "recruited", Wang Jinbao was also responsible for serving guests in addition to serving guests' livestock. However, perhaps it was because of nature, or maybe it was because of his time with the "pure" animals, Wang Jinbao was a little unfamiliar with people. It was precisely because of this that Bai Shier finally chose to come to Dongsheng Inn to try his luck.
I am afraid that many people will feel a little dissatisfied with Bai Shier who has snatched some of his work, but it is obvious that Wang Jinbao is not listed here. On the contrary, he is the happiest person to be with Bai Shier's arrival, because in the future he will no longer have to worry about how to serve those guests. He just needs to do his favorite job and serve animals.
In addition to these three employees, Ma Yiming, the boss who finally let Bai Shier know his name, became the most unfamiliar person Bai Shier has, because except for checking accounts every once in a while and looking at the inn, Ma Yiming would not appear in front of Bai Shier. The period half a month ago was obviously the day when Ma Yiming came to check accounts. Since Bai Shier entered Dongsheng Inn, Ma Yiming has never appeared again...
Another day of welcome and seeing off. When the sun sets and the sky finally darkens, the four people at Dongsheng Inn were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to close the door and board to end the busy day.
"Huh!" Under the dim light of the oil lamp, the four of them finally sat at a table and prepared to enjoy their supper.
"Shopkeeper, aren't you going home today?" Although I was a little tired, I sat down together, but the group of people still couldn't help but gossip.
"Hey, are you going to be caught by your sister-in-law and you have sex with you? So, ah..." Li Dali raised his eyebrows and smiled with a bit of a lewd look. Although he looked big and thick and his face was even more honest, it was obvious that this was just his protective look. Only after he was really familiar with him would he realize that this guy was just a pineapple.
"Don't talk nonsense," Sun Ji turned red under the dim oil lamp, and retorted with shame and annoyed, saying, "I just haven't settled my accounts today, so I plan to stay when the guest room is not full today..."
"Hey hey," Bai Shier on the side seemed to be very disdainful of his high-sounding reason, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Shopkeeper, this is wrong. Just lie to your wife, can you still use such excuses with us?"
"Bang!" A crisp sound, looking at Bai Shier who was rubbing his head, Manager Sun couldn't help but laugh and scold, "A little man is big..."
"Bang bang bang!" Just as Manager Sun wanted to scold Bai Shier for a few more words, and Bai Shier wanted to fight back, a sound came from the gate that had already been on the board.
"Who is still coming to invest in a store so late?" Several people subconsciously looked at the door.
"Maybe I was in a hurry to travel, so I missed the store, so I rushed to this town to invest in the store." Sun Ji, who has been a shopkeeper for many years, was not too surprised. Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not without precedent. "Jinbao, go open the door and see if there are any animals. If there are, you should work harder."
Without opening his mouth, Wang Jinbao, who just nodded, stood up and walked over to open the door for the person knocking outside the door, but he was pulled by Li Dali just one step.
"Wait a minute." Li Dali, who had a slutty smile on his face not long ago, was joking with the shopkeeper Sun Ji. At this time, there was no trace of vulgarity on his face, and instead he looked solemn and a little nervous.
"What's wrong with Dali?" Wang Jinbao turned his head and looked at Li Dali, while Sun Ji, who was beside him, asked in confusion.
"The situation is wrong, there is a smell of blood." Li Dali said in a concise and soft voice. As his words fell, the four of them pricked up their ears, and the sound of footsteps became louder and louder under the cover of the knocking door. As the footsteps got closer, the knocking outside the door became more and more urgent. It was not like knocking on the door, but as if they wanted to smash the door panel and the door and rush into the inn.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. On the quiet night, the anxious knocks at the door were suppressed. The four people in the inn did not dare to move at all. Only Li Dali raised his hand and ignored the heat of the oil lamp, extinguished the oil lamp with his fingers. The inn was suddenly dark.
Sun Ji and Wang Jinbao were still staring at the direction of the door nervously, while Bai Shier, who had seen all this in his eyes, glanced at Li Dali thoughtfully.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but the eager knocking sound suddenly stopped. Perhaps the person knocking outside had given up, or perhaps he knew in his heart that if he continued to waste here, he would face a worse situation, so he had already escaped with regret.
The somewhat messy footsteps finally came closer, and the four people in the room became more nervous, and Sun Ji and Wang Jinbao even trembled.
Fortunately, it seemed that the inn door had not been opened, or maybe it was because of the trace of the person knocking on the door before, and the footsteps sounded again, but it became farther and farther away, and eventually disappeared.
"Huh!" The four of them breathed a sigh of relief. Li Dali took out the fire slip, shook it twice, ignited the oil lamp again, and the light appeared in the lobby of the inn again.
"This time it's really thanks to Dali, you awaken yourself," Sun Ji thought about the fact that he asked Wang Jinbao to open the door before, and a terror suddenly appeared on his face, "Otherwise, our four lives would have to be explained today."
Li Dali didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was also frightened. He just stood up and wanted to open the door, but was pulled by Li Dali. So Jinbao, who had been maintaining the same position, finally felt safe at this moment, and even sat on the ground, with sweating profusely on his back.
After this, the four of them obviously had no intention of continuing to enjoy the dinner. After taking a few bites, they silently returned to their respective residences.
