Girl, take it easy

Chapter 101 Embroidered Shoes

It is a hundred miles away from Jiangnan Zhouzhou City.

There is a resting place.

The restaurant is not too big.

This restaurant is built in a wilderness.

But beside the restaurant, there is a road.

This road is not a highway, but it is a shortcut to the state city.

So, from time to time, people will pass by this place.

This small road leading to Zhoucheng has existed for a long time, but this restaurant has only been established for a month or two.

But such an unremarkable restaurant, not many people care.

"hurry up."

"Damn it, why is it raining so hard?"

"Tomorrow is still 110 miles away from Zhoucheng, can you make it to Zhoucheng tomorrow?"

"It's over, boss, we need to find a resting place."

Six men rode horse-drawn carts and walked on the path in the heavy rain.

"Boss, look, there's a restaurant over there."

Lu Ren shouted towards his boss.

The leading man with the scar looked around, but he didn't expect that there really was a family, and it seemed to be a restaurant.

It's just that in this wilderness, since when is there a restaurant?

I didn't see it the last time I passed by here.

"Boss, let's stay overnight. The rain is too heavy, the road is trembling, and the hillside ahead is very sloped. If there is another mudslide or something, it will be difficult."

A man with pockmarked face said.

"Okay, let's go and rest."

Although the man with the scar feels that there is something wrong with this restaurant.

But it was raining too much and I really couldn't go on.

"Shop, are you still open? Shopkeeper."

Braving the heavy rain, several people knocked on the door of this wild restaurant.

"Yah"

With the sound of the door and the wooden board being squeezed, the candlelight in the room gradually echoed.

"Here I am."

An old woman came out.

The old woman's face is full of wrinkles, she looks about six or seventy years old, with a bent back.

The old woman's clothes are very ordinary, the linen linen clothes of ordinary people.

But the pair of red embroidered shoes on the old woman's withered feet were too eye-catching.

It's too red.

This pair of red embroidered shoes looked redder than blood under the candlelight.

And it's clean!

It's as clean as if it's just been put on, without any dust.

"Old lady, stay at the hotel." The man with the scar said.

"A room costs [-] yuan a night, and food expenses are calculated separately." The old woman's tone was cold, without the slightest emotion, and she seemed very indifferent to the guests.

"Three hundred dollars a night? So expensive?" The man with the scar was a little displeased.

"That's the price." The old woman nodded.

"Come on, come on, three hundred dollars is three hundred dollars, and you can open three rooms!"

The leading man with the scar waved his hand.

Three hundred yuan a night is really expensive for such a broken place.

But the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is, and the price is so expensive, it really reassures the man with the scar. If the price is low, the man with the scar will become suspicious.

"Everyone, come in."

The old woman turned around and walked into the restaurant.

Several big men followed in.

The layout of this restaurant is actually quite ordinary, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Miss Boss, what kind of food do you have here, come and eat something!"

The man with the scar shouted, after traveling for so long, he is really hungry.

After a while, the old woman came out, followed by a young girl.

The girl looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with two twisted braids, she was just an ordinary little girl.

"I don't know what the guest officer wants to eat?"

The old woman walked up to them and asked.

"What do you have here?" A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks asked.

"There's nothing left to eat, and there are only a few sheep in the yard. I'm pretty good at roasting sheep, but it's been a while." The old woman glanced at them.

Hearing the roast sheep, all six men drooled.

"Shut up your saliva and look at your worthless looks."

The man with the scar slapped the table and reprimanded him.

"How long does it take to roast a lamb? What's the price?"

"You don't need to pay for drinks, but roast sheep for two taels of silver." The old woman told the price, "It's about half an hour."

"Tsk, it's so expensive." The man with the scar smacked his mouth, "Forget it, let's have an end, and serve some side dishes first, to fill your stomach."

"Ok."

The old woman went down with her granddaughter.

The girl came over with some side dishes, and then ran away quickly, looking a bit shy, which reminded the scarred man of his own daughter.

Two hours later, the old woman dragged a trailer with a roasted goat on it.

Smelling the heat from the goat, the six men couldn't bear it anymore, and even tore the mutton without fear of the heat.

Soon, the six men finished eating a sheep, and went back to their room to sleep contentedly.

The room they live in is at the back.

Sure enough, they saw four sheep in the backyard.

They slept soundly that night.

But in the middle of the night, the man with the scar heard some movement outside.

The man with the scar sat up and listened carefully, it seemed to be a scream.

"Hey! Mazi, get up, Mazi!"

The man with the scar pushed his companion beside him.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Mazi stood up in a daze.

"Listen! There is movement outside." The man with the scar had already grasped the long knife in his hand.

Mazi listened carefully, and it was true. It seemed to be coming from the yard, like sheep bleating, or people crying.

The man with the scar walked to the door and carefully opened a small gap.

The man with the scar saw the old woman in red embroidered shoes, holding a blood-stained kitchen knife, walking towards his room step by step.

Seeing the terrible scene, the man with the scar slammed the door shut, his back already wet with sweat.

"Mazi, we're in trouble, the old woman"

The man with the scar just turned around, and what he saw was a pair of embroidered shoes that were redder than blood.

Looking up along the embroidered shoes, the old woman stood in front of him holding a kitchen knife dripping with blood.

Two days later, at night.

"Chen Lu, how long is it from here to Zhoucheng?"

On the trail leading to Zhoucheng, Wang Tong who was sitting on the carriage opened the curtain and asked.

"It's about a hundred miles away."

Chen Lu was driving the carriage, and the horse that Wang Tong was riding before also came to pull the carriage.

"But it's getting late, we have to find a place to rest, and we'll go on our way tomorrow. It's raining too hard, so it's hard to walk." Chen Lu was depressed, why has it been raining for the past few days.

"Hey, look, there seems to be a restaurant in front." Wang Tong said pleasantly.

"Okay, that's it, rest your feet."

Chen Lu came to the restaurant and knocked on the door: "Do you have any questions? Is anyone there?"

"Yeah."

The door of the restaurant opened slowly, and an old woman with a blank face appeared in front of the three of them.

The old woman was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes as red as blood.

"Grandma, how much is a night for us to stay in a hotel?"

"Three hundred dollars a night."
