Chapter 2392 - None Of Our Business
The people who originally had ill intention smiles on their faces turned pale, their eyes widened with panic as their bodies froze and they fell to the ground on their knees when the coercion enveloped them and bead-sized cold sweat dropped from their foreheads.
They watched the young man carrying the child in his arms as he walked with a steady and gentle pace. Without even saying a word, they felt the breath of death upon them…
When the figure had pa.s.sed by them, they felt a rush of blood gus.h.i.+ng upwards and they spat out a mouthful of blood then fell down one after another.
When Feng Jiu arrived at the inn, she saw that the old man and Zhuo Junyue were sitting in the corner of the hall on the first floor. She walked over and took out a few hot scallion pancakes from s.p.a.ce and placed them on the table.
"I bought them on my way back. Try them, it tastes good."
The two of them were drinking tea when they saw her take out the pancakes, so they picked up a piece each and ate them. The old man asked: "Did you find anything for the child to eat?"
"Yes, I bought some goat milk." She said, then she asked the two of them: "Have you ordered food yet? Have you booked a room?"
"We haven"t booked a room yet. We went upstairs to take a look before and this inn is quite small. It"s fully booked upstairs. We were just waiting for you here so that we can go and take a look at other inns together. We ordered a few signature dishes but it"s nothing the child can eat."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu nodded and beckoned to the waiter while she took out a bottle of goat"s milk.
"Customer, what are your orders?" The waiter walked forward with a smile on his face and poured a cup of tea for Feng Jiu.
"Take this goat"s milk to the kitchen and heat it up for me. She flicked her hand and a piece of silver fell into the waiter"s hand: "This is your reward."
When the waiter saw this, his eyes narrowed with a smile. He nodded quickly and said: "I will get it done for you right away." Having said that, he kept the piece of silver away and brought the goat"s milk into the kitchen.
"When we return, you can bring your younger brother to my place! I have s.p.a.ce for him to stay at my place and it will also be more convenient for me to treat him there." Feng Jiu said to Zhuo Junyue.
"Alright." He nodded in response and looked at her and said, "Thank you."
"I don"t treat you as an outsider so you don"t have to thank me." She smiled and took a sip of her tea when she heard the old man next to her laughing.
"Why are you drinking tea here? Get them to serve us some wine and we"ll have a good meal." The old man said excitedly and beckoned for the waiter to serve them wine.
Not long after, the wine and dishes of food were served together, even the goat"s milk was heated up and brought at the same time. Feng Jiu fed the child first, then she ordered the waiter to put two chairs together so that she could put the child on the chairs to fall asleep.
They ate and chatted for a while until night fell when they finally found another inn in the town to rest. However, in the second half of the night, the three of them heard some movements as they slept in their rooms.
Because Feng Jiu and Hao"er slept in one room while the old man and Zhuo Junyue share another room, after they heard the movements, Zhuo Junyue asked: "Do I need to go and take a look?"
The old man who was sleeping on the bed on the right, turned over without opening his eyes when he heard Zhuo Junyue"s words and said: "Do you think she"s like you? Can"t even protect yourself? Go back to sleep! Anyway, these people aren"t here for us, don"t meddle in their business."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Junyue paused for a moment then pulled his quilt up.. However, he was unable to fall back asleep after he had heard the movement.
