() Chu Huan and his party arrived in front of the inn, but no one came out to greet them. Chu Huan dismounted first, handed the reins to the camel guest Ma Zheng, and entered the inn, only to see the main hall of the inn was lit. Two store clerks were dozing off on the table. Chu Huan coughed, and one clerk woke up in a daze. ?”

Chu Huan nodded and asked, "There are four people on my side, can we prepare two guest rooms?"

The clerk woke up his companion and said with a smile, "Okay, two guest rooms, what other orders do you have for the guest?"

"Feed our horses some horse food." Chu Huan went to a table and sat down, "If you have anything to eat here, feel free to come up." Walking this way, I didn't feel it before, but now I sit down However, Chu Huan was still somewhat tired.

Sun Tzukong and the others tied up their horses, then came in one after another, and sat down at Chu Huan's table. A waiter brought tea first, and Chu Huan had already asked, "Guy, let me know, where is this?"

"This is in Huzhou, Anyi Road." The clerk smiled and said, "Where are the guest officials going?"

"Don't ask so many questions, bring the food quickly," Chu Huan ordered.

The waiter agreed to step back. Seeing that Sun Zikong had already picked up the teacup, Chu Huan immediately stretched out his hand to hold his arm and shook his head. Come over, lower your voice and ask: "Master, are you suspicious...!"

Chu Huan shook his head with a smile, but did not speak.

At this moment, they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the door again, and Chu Huan and the others tightened their expressions immediately. The roads that Chu Huan and the others took were all in the remote wilderness, where there were few pedestrians. There was no one in sight for several hours, and just now when they entered the inn, there was the sound of horseshoes outside, and they were naturally on guard.

Soon, a person came in slowly from the gate. Chu Huan and the others followed the footsteps with their eyes. When they saw the person, they were startled, and Chu Huan's eyebrows were already furrowed.

The person who came in from the outside was covered in a gray robe. The material of the robe was ordinary and made of coarse linen. There was a white belt tied around his waist, and he held a package in his right hand. , that package was a bit special, it was wrapped in coarse hemp, and it was long. Chu Huan just glanced at it, and vaguely felt that the package should be wrapped with weapons.

What is surprising is this person's face. Obviously, this person is wearing a mask. The mask is very delicate, revealing his eyes and mouth. Chu Huan has excellent eyesight. After seeing this person enter the inn, his right eye His eyes swept around, but the left eye under the mask was closed, and he couldn't see clearly for a while, only his left eye was not open.

The clerk at the back heard the footsteps and came out to meet him. When he saw the man in gray robe, he immediately smiled and said, "Is the guest going to stay at the hotel?"

The man in the gray robe sat down at a table near the corner, put the long hemp parcel in his hand on the table, and said hoarsely, "Don't stay here, bring food!"

The man smiled and nodded. The gray-robed man sat at the table without saying a word. His grandson took a look at him, approached Chu Huan, and said softly, "Master, this man... seems to have no arms!"

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and he could tell that this person was holding the package in his right hand. The moment he sat down, the gray robe swung up, and his left arm was facing this way. Sleeves fluttering, apparently a broken arm.

Although it is an inn in the wilderness, the work efficiency is not low. It was just a moment later that the waiter had already served the food and wine. He frowned and said, "We don't seem to have asked for wine!"

The clerk smiled and said: "Guest officer, you look like a hero. How can a hero not drink alcohol? It's cold now, and drinking a glass of wine can warm you up. This is good wine in our shop. Don't believe me?" Taste it, if you don't like it, we won't take any money from these two jars of wine, but treat it as a gift to you."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "In that case, you should have a good taste."

The waiter said: "Just wait a moment, I'll go get the wine bowl." He left swiftly, and quickly brought four large bowls, put them on, and even poured the wine himself, with a smile on his face all the time, grandson Kong couldn't help but said: "I said why is your store opened in the wilderness? Isn't it a black shop?" He didn't hesitate to say, following Chu Huan, even if it was a black shop, Sun Zi Kong didn't have the slightest fear in his heart .

The clerk immediately lowered his face, and said: "This guest officer's words are not pleasant. If you think this is a black shop, you can leave now."

Ma Zheng said with a smile: "Although the words are not pleasant, how can a businessman open an inn in the wilderness?"

The man frowned, but Chu Huan had already smiled and said, "My brother is joking, don't take offense."

The clerk shook his head and said: "You guys don't know, there is no way to open the inn in the wilderness. The taxes in our Huzhou are very heavy. If you open an inn in a prosperous area, you have to pay a heavy tax. You have to deal with such a poor master twice in three days, and you can't earn a few dollars."

Chu Huan said: "Could it be possible to earn money in this wilderness?"

"Does the guest officer mean that there are few customers here?" The man laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, although there are fewer customers, it's not that there are no guests. Except for a few guest officers who are rushing on the road, there are a few mountains nearby. There are often hunters hunting here, and they like to come here to have a few drinks on weekdays, and after drinking comfortably, they leave some prey and take the prey to the market to exchange for money, which is not less than the price of wine."

"So that's how it is." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Shrimps have shrimps, and crabs have crabs. I wonder what kind of business there is in running an inn here. It turns out that it is a hunter's business."

The clerk raised his finger and pointed at the wine bowl, "Several guest officers, have a taste and see how it goes?"

Chu Huan smiled slightly, but did not bring the bowl. The clerk turned around and took a bowl from the counter. Without saying a word, he opened the mud seal of the wine jar, poured half a bowl of wine, and drank it all in one gulp. : "Several guest officials suspect that this is a black shop, are they worried that there is poison in the wine? If it is poisonous, let me kill you first!"

Chu Huan laughed, stood up, took the clerk's arm, and went out the door. The clerk was surprised, but Chu Huan had already said, "Come out with me, I'll ask you something."

The man frowned, and was pulled outside by Chu Huan. Chu Huan had already asked, "We are going to Huzhou City, but we don't know which direction to go next. Please give me some guidance."

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, pointed in the direction, thanked Chu Huan, and the two of them entered the store and walked to the table, only to find that the wine bowls of the three of them were empty. Ma Zheng was pouring wine into the wine bowl again, and the grandson Kong smacked his mouth and said with a smile: "This wine is really not bad, my brothers, anyway, we are going to rest here tonight, we will only rest when we are drunk...!"

Chu Huan sat down, picked up the wine bowl, looked out of the door suddenly, and wondered: "Who is that person?" Everyone followed his gaze, but they didn't see anyone. In doubt, Chu Huan said: " Dude, there seems to be someone passing by outside, see if our horses are still there, in this wilderness, I am worried that some thieves will steal our horses."

The clerk shook his head and smiled, "No, no." Seeing that Chu Huan was staring at him, he could only say, "Go and take a look for you, little one." After going out, he came back soon, and said, "Don't worry, sir. The horses are in good condition, and no one passed by, I am afraid that you have misread it."

While speaking, he glanced into Chu Huan's bowl, only to find that the wine in Chu Huan's bowl was also completely wiped out.

Chu Huan picked up the wine jar, poured wine into the bowl, and asked, "Man, the name of your inn is very interesting, why is it called Duan Chang Inn?"

The clerk was about to speak, but Sun Zikong suddenly raised his hand and pressed his temple, "I...my head hurts...!" Just as he finished speaking, there was a "choke", Liu Suifeng thought Picking up the wine bowl, the wine bowl in his hand suddenly dropped on the table, half of the bowl of wine was spilled on the table, Liu Suifeng also quickly hugged his head, and said loudly: "My head... my head is also very pain……!"

Chu Huan showed surprise on his face, but saw that Ma Zheng had stood up quickly, grabbed the waiter with one hand, and said sharply: "There is something wrong with this wine...!" The waiter hurried back Backing away, Ma Zheng only took a step, and his feet seemed to be mixed with garlic, and suddenly softened, and he fell to the ground with his buttocks.

Sun Zikong and Liu Suifeng were already lying on the table at this time, Chu Huan looked sternly, staring at the waiter: "Your place is really a black shop...!"

The clerk didn't speak, but he heard a voice from the side: "You guys are really brave enough to come in even though you know it's a black shop." Then there was laughter, and four or five people rushed out from the back of the hall, There was a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding a copper stick in his hand, "We have seen many people like you. If you dare to walk at night on this wild path in the wilderness, you will feel that you are great. Even if you know It's a black shop, and I think I have the ability to break in, but it's easy to get in, but it's not easy to get out. You ask why this inn is called Duan Chang Inn, and I will tell you, Duan Chang, heartbroken , as soon as you enter my store, I will break your heart, hahaha...!"

Chu Huan sighed: "So that's the case, then what do you want to do?"

"Ask knowingly." The man said with a sneer, "We have to settle for horses and money. We didn't hurt people at first, but if you leave here and report to the government, our inn will not be able to operate. There is no way. I can only blame you for going the wrong way. Don’t worry, we will kill and bury you, and when you die, you will be buried properly!”

Chu Huan said: "Your man has also drunk, why is he fine?"

"Just the two of you, you still dare to enter my shop." The man said disdainfully: "The wine is not poisonous, but the wine bowl is poisonous!"

Chu Huan sighed: "Unexpectedly, there are more intelligent people in today's black shop." He glanced at the few people and asked, "Besides you, how many people are there in this black shop? Have they all come out?"
