Chapter 88: A Strange Encounter at the Inn
After crossing the log bridge, Liu Yu and his group walked for a while longer. As it was getting late, they decided to find an inn to stay at.
A short while later, they saw a place called "Yuelai Inn". Liu Yu rushed in and shouted, "Waiter, bring me a few superior rooms!"
The waiter ran over, all smiles, and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, there's only one room left."
Liu Yu's eyes widened: "One room? How can we stay in that?"
Xu Xian also looked troubled: "What should we do?"
Xiaoqing said, "How about we look for another inn?"
Liu Yu waved her hand: "Never mind, it's getting dark, let's just take this room."
They entered the room and found it to be small and shabby.
Liu Yu complained, "What a lousy place this is, and they call it an upper-class room."
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from next door.
Liu Yu pressed her ear against the wall out of curiosity, wanting to hear what was going on.
A man shouted, "You played the wrong card, start over!"
Another man said, "That's how it's going to be, it's none of your business!"
They were playing cards.
Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Playing cards so late at night instead of sleeping."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Liu Yu opened the door and saw a plump woman standing there, holding a basket of fruit.
The woman said, "Sir, would you like to buy some fruit?"
Liu Yu shook her head: "No, no."
The woman persisted: "My fruit is very fresh, please try some."
Liu Yu had no choice but to buy a few.
The woman had just left when someone knocked on the door again.
This time it was a tall, thin man holding an erhu.
The man said, "Sir, let me play a few tunes for you to liven things up."
Liu Yu said impatiently, "No need, no need, let's go!"
After finally getting some peace and quiet, Liu Yu and the others prepared to rest.
But as soon as I lay down, I heard a creaking sound coming from under the bed.
Liu Yu jumped up in fright: "What is that?"
Xu Xian said, "Could it be a rat?"
Xiaoqing said, "Let me see."
Xiaoqing lay down on the floor and looked under the bed. Sure enough, there were several mice scurrying around.
Xiaoqing used magic to drive the rat away.
Just as Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, she heard a crackling sound coming from the roof.
He looked up and saw a cat running around on the roof.
Liu Yu was both amused and exasperated: "This inn is really bustling with activity."
After all that fuss, it finally quieted down.
Liu Yu drifted off to sleep.
In his sleep, he felt someone pushing him.
He opened his eyes and saw an old man dressed in ancient costume standing by the bed.
The old man said, "Young man, I am the owner of this inn. You haven't paid your room bill yet."
Liu Yu suddenly snapped out of her daze: "Huh? Didn't I already pay?"
The old man said, "No, pay up quickly."
Helpless, Liu Yu had no choice but to take out the money and give it to the old man.
The old man took the money and left satisfied.
Just as Liu Yu was about to go back to sleep, she heard someone knocking on the door again.
He opened the door, and there was Xiao Er.
The waiter said, "Sir, the kitchen is on fire! Please help put it out."
Liu Yu and the others quickly got up and ran to the kitchen to help.
After the fire was extinguished, Liu Yu and his team were exhausted.
Back in her room, Liu Yu lay on the bed and said, "This night was so exhausting, it was more tiring than fighting monsters."
Xu Xian and Xiao Qing nodded repeatedly.
The next morning, Liu Yu and his companions hurriedly left the inn and continued their journey.
Walking down the street, Liu Yu saw a street performer breaking a large stone on his chest.
Liu Yu curiously leaned over to take a look.
The street performer shouted loudly: "Dear viewers, if you have money, please support us financially; if you don't have money, please support us with your presence."
Liu Yu tossed in a few copper coins.
After the street performer got ready, he struck the stone with his hammer, but instead of breaking it, he fainted.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Liu Yu and his group continued walking and saw an old man selling calligraphy and paintings at a roadside stall.
Liu Yu looked at the calligraphy and paintings and said, "The calligraphy is really ugly."
The old man glared at him: "What do you know? This is art."
Liu Yu laughed and said, "I can't appreciate this kind of art."
Just then, a sudden gust of wind blew in and carried away all the old man's calligraphy and paintings.
The old man hurried after him, but tripped and fell.
Liu Yu and the others rushed over to help.
After helping the old man retrieve his calligraphy and paintings, Liu Yu and his group continued on their way.
As we walked, we came to a small village.
A temple fair is being held in the village, and it's bustling with activity.
Liu Yu and the others also went to join in the fun...
