Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 17

Everyone in the inn spent a few days of peace and tranquility. This morning, the sound of cock crowing came from a distance. Zhang Chen was doing radio gymnastics in the yard, jumping and jumping.

Yawning big, he came out of the room and saw Zhang Chen clapping his hands, shaking his legs, stretching his waist, and asked curiously, "Xiaochen, what are you doing! You are a great dancer."

"I'm doing morning exercises. The plan for a year lies in the spring, and the plan for a day lies in the morning. What a good morning to exercise with Dazui." Zhang Chen invited Li Dazui with a smile.

Li Dazui said with a sneer: "Exercise? Forget it, I have managed to develop my body shape so I can't be thin. I'm still cooking vegetables in my kitchen," he said, and left in a hurry.

Zhang Chen thought with black lines on his face: "I don't want to learn, but I'm not willing to teach!".

After a while, I heard Butou Xing's voice, and Zhang Chen came to the lobby curiously, only to see Butou Xing identify people everywhere and turn around to ask questions from time to time.

"Uncle Xing, what are you doing!" Hearing Zhang Chen's question, Xing Butou said: "The rice shop on West Street was stolen, and the guy in the shop reported the crime. I have reason to suspect that the thief did it."

Zhang Chen cautiously reminded: "Uncle Xing, have you ever thought that this is an ordinary theft case, and the lost things can't make the robbers put down their dignity, right?"

Unexpectedly, Catcher Xing said with certainty: "There is a note left by him at the scene of the crime, I have read his notes" and passed the note to everyone to watch.

"Hey! The cultural level of this robber's saint is not high. The writing is not as good as our Xiaobei's." Guo Furong said disgustedly after reading the note.

"Pay attention to strangers! I have to go to the next house to recognize someone." After Xing Butou finished speaking, he took his buddy and left.

Just as Zhang Chen sent Xing Butou away, he turned back to the inn and a girl hurriedly bumped into him. As soon as Zhang Chen moved his legs to the side, the girl rushed straight into the lobby.

Bai Zhantang quickly held his mouth and said: "This guest officer, slow down!".

Seeing the girl being supported by Bai Zhantang, Zhang Chen felt relieved and went into the inn to ask if she was hurt, then he heard the girl smile and say: "It's not a small matter for people in the Jianghu, this little brother, can you help me?" Begging for saliva to drink."

Zhang Chen turned his head and shouted at Bai Zhantang, who had already gone to greet the guests: "Brother Bai, serve this girl a pot of tea."

"I'm busy greeting the guests now, so you can do it yourself!" Bai Zhantang said without turning his head.

The woman listened carefully to Bai Zhantang's words and suddenly said "Brother Bai, don't be stingy" and stared at Bai Zhantang closely.

Bai Zhantang turned his head and said with a smile: "I don't know why you are angry with you, guest officer."

The girl observed Bai Zhantang for a while, then turned around and said to Bai Zhantang, "I want to stay in the hotel!".

Looking at the girl who wanted to come out, Bai Zhantang reluctantly led the girl upstairs.

The girl passed by Zhang Chen and suddenly asked, "This little brother doesn't know your name yet, my name is Murong Yan".

Hearing the name Murong Yan, Zhang Chen's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, Brother Bai, you are going to be exposed this time!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chenchen also went upstairs and planned to watch a good show later!After going upstairs for a while, Tong Xiangyu saw that the two hadn't come back and said dissatisfiedly to the scholar: "Why haven't they come down for so long?".

Xiucai answered from the side: "I think that girl is very pretty, maybe Xiaochen can see her chatting there."

Tong Xiangyu asked, "What about Laobai?".

Xiucai spread his hands to express that he didn't know either.

Tong Xiangyu thought for a while and said to everyone: "I still have to go and see."

He greeted everyone to go upstairs with her, and just halfway there, he saw Zhang Chen lying on the door, covering his mouth and giggling.

Seeing everyone going upstairs, Zhang Chen waved his hands lightly, everyone immediately understood what Zhang Chen meant and quietly gathered at the door to eavesdrop.

Bai Zhantang in the room was happily recounting the glorious deeds of the past. Everyone opened their mouths in astonishment when they heard that Bai Zhantang was the legendary robber saint.

Just when Murong Yan wanted to continue asking, Tong Xiangyu accidentally bumped into the door, Lao Bai immediately came to the door and opened it, and everyone accidentally fell into the room.

Everyone smiled awkwardly and was about to leave when Tong Xiangyu asked suddenly: "Are you really the legendary Baiyu Tang of the Pirate Saint?"

Bai Zhantang said helplessly: "Yes, I am Bai Yutang, then I am not some robber saint, I am just an ordinary person."

Everyone surrounded Bai Zhantang excitedly and asked about his deeds of stealing holy things in the rivers and lakes. Bai Zhantang had no choice but to answer them one by one.

Bai Zhantang wrote a letter to Murong Yan to give to Zhan Hongling, saying that he is just an ordinary person who has retreated from the rivers and lakes and can only help here.

As night fell, Zhang Chen came out of the room when he heard the movement in the inn and saw Bai Zhantang packing up his things!It seemed that he planned to leave quietly in the dark.

"Brother Bai, don't you feel sorry for leaving like this?" Zhang Chen walked up to Bai Zhantang and said.

Bai Zhantang paused to pack his bags, and then said with a normal expression: "I don't know what everyone thinks of me after my identity is exposed today. After all, I was a thief before and I don't want to see everyone's disgusted and fearful eyes!".

Hearing such negative words from Bai Zhantang, Zhang Chen said very solemnly: "In my eyes, Big Brother Bai is never a thief, but a kind and reliable family member who can bring joy to everyone."

"Don't you know everyone and what should you do if you leave the shopkeeper like this? Don't tell me you haven't thought about these issues. You need to think about it carefully now," Zhang Chen said and returned to the room.

Bai Zhantang opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he could only sigh helplessly, turned around and put down his burden, made the bed again and fell asleep full of melancholy.
