Chapter 193 The Inn is Strange (I want to update once more, please give me a reward, haha~ ( ̄▽ ̄~)~)
For her, the inn only had superior rooms, no middle-class rooms, let alone inferior rooms.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!" After saying that, the shopkeeper walked towards his old wife with a smile.
Seeing this, Chen Wanruo narrowed her eyes.
"Wanruo, did you discover something?" Sun Biyi asked curiously.
"I smell something about that woman."
"What is the taste?"
"It smells like horse shit." Chen Wanruo said bluntly.
The woman was quite far away from her just now, but Chen Wanruo could smell the scent of horse from her.
It was obvious that he had horses in his inn.
And there are quite a few.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so cautious.
But Chen Wanruo didn’t understand, since the couple didn’t know any martial arts, where did they get the horses?
Of course, this person doesn't know martial arts. Chen Wanruo can tell something from the way they walk.
Their horses have been running non-stop these past two days and have already reached their limit.
If Chen Wanruo hadn't been worried that the horse wouldn't be able to handle it, would she have only traveled this short distance?
You know, she not only has food and supplies, but also explosives.
If we don’t reach the border quickly, who knows what will happen?
After hearing what Chen Wanruo said, Sun Biyi was also very curious.
It's really good to find an inn in this desolate mountain area.
Besides, no matter how you look at it, these two owners don’t look like wealthy families.
In their opinion, a good horse is worth dozens of taels.
For an ordinary family, these few dozen taels of silver can last most of their lifetime.
Thinking of this, Sun Biyi looked towards Chen Wanruo again.
As a result, he happened to meet Chen Wanruo's gaze.
So Sun Biyi subconsciously asked the shopkeeper: "Excuse me, besides the superior rooms, do you have anything else here?"
"Sir, do you want to..." The shopkeeper did not continue with the rest of the sentence and just looked at Sun Biyi with a smile.
"You know, we have been traveling non-stop these past few days. I believe the shopkeeper should know what we need!"
After saying this, Chen Wanruo also walked up from behind Sun Biyi.
He also turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "I won't waste my words with you. We don't want to know where your horses came from. Now we just want a batch of top-quality horses. As for the money, we can discuss it."
They simply didn't have the extra time to argue with the shopkeeper here.
If she guessed correctly, these horses should have been stolen by the bandits when they were robbing.
The couple had no martial arts skills, and judging by their clothes and the way they looked when they entered the inn just now, it was clear that they were not very wealthy.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, they did not obtain these horses through legitimate means.
The most likely possibility is that it was just a coincidence that allowed them to get this.
But after catching it, I didn’t dare to take it out.
Because they were afraid of bringing about fatal disaster.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up after hearing Chen Wanruo's words.
"Miss, do you really want that batch of horses?" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
After hearing this, Chen Wanruo became even more certain that her guess was correct.
"What's your name, boss? We really need those horses. It depends on what price you give us."
"Are you serious, girl?"
"Of course it's true! Boss, do you think I'm joking?" Chen Wanruo said with a smile.
"My last name is Wu, so you can just call me Old Man Wu. To be honest, I have been wanting to deal with these horses for a long time. I am also lucky. Some time ago, by chance, a group of bandits came out to rob us, and we just ran into a group of bandits who had just come down the mountain."
At this point, Shopkeeper Wu clapped his hands excitedly, grinning so hard that his teeth were showing, and continued:
"Don't you think it was a coincidence? In the end, the bandits were robbed of everything. The bandits were good people. They distributed all the gold, silver and jewelry they robbed to the nearby mountain villages. They didn't want these horses anymore, so I took them back."
"We just brought them back thinking we could sell them for a good price, but it turned out that after raising them for ten days or half a month, no one even came to ask about them. My husband and I have to take care of these dozen horses day and night."
After hearing what Shopkeeper Wu said, Chen Wanruo fell into deep thought.
"Are you talking about those bandits who were dealt with by those mountain bandits?" After pondering for a moment, Chen Wanruo asked.
"Yes, girl, you know what, those bandits are quite nice. Sometimes they come to stay at my inn, but every time they give me just enough money, saying that they are sympathetic to our business difficulties. I just don't understand why others call them bandits?"
Shopkeeper Wu said curiously.
"Where do those bandits live?" Chen Wanruo asked again.
"Yes, they live on the mountain behind us. Girl, please don't hurt them. Although they are bandits, I have never heard of them hurting anyone in all the years I have been here."
"On the contrary, the nearby villages are able to survive because of their support. A few years ago, there was a flood here and the village had no harvest for the whole year. It was all thanks to them that the villagers nearby were able to survive."
Having said that, Shopkeeper Wu looked Chen Wanruo up and down again, and saw that she didn't look like a bad person, and she was a girl.
Then he continued, "Girls, you are lucky. Mr. Gu is staying at my inn today."
"Boss Gu?"
"Yes, Gu Changlao is the boss of this group of bandits. Others may be used to calling him bandits, but Gu Changlao doesn't mind. After calling him that for a while, it becomes more familiar to him."
"Then, shopkeeper, can you take me upstairs to visit Mr. Gu?" Chen Wanruo said bluntly.
Hearing this, before Shopkeeper Wu could even open her mouth, Sun Biyi was already looking at her in surprise.
"Sister Wanruo, what are you going to do?"
"I just want to pay a visit to Mr. Gu. There are very few good people like him in this world nowadays."
Chen Wanruo said very modestly.
She knew that if she was not humble, she might not be able to meet Mr. Gu.
Just by looking at the praise that Shopkeeper Wu gave him, Chen Wanruo knew that he admired him very much in his heart.
Someone who can be admired by people of this age should have some ability.
And now, she is in need of such a person.
Sure enough, even after saying so, Shopkeeper Wu still sounded hesitant.
