Chapter 411 Staying Overnight
The two pushed and shoved each other, and in a few steps they arrived at the woman's house.
A large group of people arrived at her doorstep. The woman, who was gathering her clothes, paused, staring blankly at the several burly men at the door...
His gaze first fell on the man wearing sunglasses. Seeing his roguish look, the woman shrank back, her heart pounding. Then she shifted her gaze to Wu Xie, who looked quite handsome and seemed like a cultured man. She glanced at the chubby guy, then at Pan Zi. She wanted to see the people behind him, but the people in front of her were blocking her view.
The woman squinted, and saw the bear wave at her and say, "Hey!"
"Husband, grab your weapons! Someone's here looking for trouble!" the woman shouted.
The man stopped dawdling. Wearing a tank top, he kicked the door open with a bang, stepped down the stairs, grabbed a fire poker by the door, and without even seeing what was going on, asked, "Where's the troublemaker? Go back inside."
Then he stood in front of the woman. After seeing the people at the door, the man was obviously stunned for a moment, then he gripped the stick in his hand tightly again and glared fiercely at the group.
"Don't misunderstand, we're just here to ask some questions, not to cause trouble." Wu Xie gave a seemingly peaceful smile.
Ling Xiao tightened his grip on Xie Yuhua's shoulders.
"Are you scared?" Xie Yuhua looked at the child with some curiosity. Logically speaking, the child shouldn't be scared in this situation.
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm just envious." He envied the couple. Although they had many flaws, the husband would still choose to believe in and protect his wife at the first opportunity.
Xie Yuhua patted his head. Although he didn't understand what the child envied, he wanted to stay by the child's side and would try his best to observe and fulfill all the child's desires.
"What do you need so many people to ask? There are so many houses in the village, why do you have to come to our house to ask us something?" The man's tone was not gentle, but rather wary and warning.
"We've come from a city far away for tourism, and we're unfamiliar with the area. We'd like to ask for lodging for the night. Could you help us see if there are any houses or places available in this village, or if it would be convenient for you to tell us the location of the village chief's house?" Wu Xie's tone was quite sincere.
Ling Xiao looked at his disheveled head in the wind and felt that it looked so familiar. He scratched his head and an image of a bald man immediately popped into his mind.
Oh, he said this scene looked so familiar. Wasn't this the scene of Tang Sanzang begging for alms? The four of them stood in a row, resembling the image of a master and his four disciples.
"Oh! You're tourists! You should have said so earlier! Stay at the east end of the village. Out-of-towners all go there. If you stay at one of our private guesthouses, it'll cost you more." Hearing that they were tourists, the man's attitude softened a bit, but he still led them towards the guesthouses at the east end of the village. Those were guesthouses specifically for travelers to rest and recuperate. Of course, they could accommodate guests themselves, but they would have to pay the village a certain amount afterward. Otherwise, if some guesthouses were hosting guests while others had no business, they would be ostracized. So, they would charge more than the guesthouses.
"How many rooms are left in the guesthouses in our village? There are seven adults and one child in our group. How do we manage to eat? And it's gotten so cold today. Do you sell any warm clothes here?" Wu Xie pushed Zhuangzhuang forward a little. He had noticed that this family had a child, and bringing the child along might get them a discount and make communication easier.
