The snow on the street had been trampled by the pedestrians and had long since turned into a soft, cold mud. The man who was thrown out of the inn and a bundle of tattered bedding fell directly into the mud. Among them, he was in a state of embarrassment. The pedestrians on the street quickly gave way, while Zhang Tie and some pedestrians stood nearby and watched.
Several big-bodied guys, together with the inn chef who was wearing chef's clothes and holding a whistle in his hand, stood at the door of the inn. They all looked at the person who was thrown out fiercely. One of the articulate guys even clasped his fists. After making a circle, he said loudly, "Dear neighbors and friends, our Yue'an Inn kicked this person out today. It was not because the owner of the hotel was bullying the guests, but because this person had been staying in my inn for more than a week, but he... We couldn't get out the money for the copper coins. Our innkeeper was originally soft-hearted. Because of the cold weather outside, he let him stay for a few more days when he had no money. Who would have thought that this man not only had no money, but also planned to live in poverty forever? , want to live and eat in our inn for free, and think that we are easy to bully. There is no such reason in the world. Today we can't bear it anymore and drive this person out of Yue'an Inn. Please also be a witness. This person will be here in the future. His life and death has nothing to do with us anymore!"
The man who was thrown out of the inn was so angry that he stood up from the ground covered in mud, pointed at the young people in the inn, and said angrily, "You... you... bully others too much... I'm in the inn The rent and food expenses paid... have been... paid until the end of January, and the time has not yet come... you kicked me out, what's the point... "
"When you came here, our shopkeeper already told you that the room rates in our Yue'an Inn are based on the market price, one price per day. The price is cheap during the off-season, but expensive during the peak season during holidays. The rent you mentioned is ten In January, starting from December, the house prices in the entire Baohu City are rising, and the house prices in various inns are also rising. The house prices and food expenses at our Yue'an Inn are also rising. Follow the trend, and the money you pay, It’s gone just after the Chinese New Year. It’s our shopkeeper who feels sorry for you, so he lets you stay a few more days. You’re not afraid to go to the government office to sue us. It’s funny. A person like you is actually an elixir master. All the alchemists are like you. That alchemist is not as good as the coolie at the dock..."
"Hahaha... Well, I'm not an alchemist... If I wasn't an alchemist, how could I be where I am today..." The embarrassed middle-aged man laughed miserably, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be a little confused. He tore off his wet and disheveled clothes, exposed his chest to the cold wind, and shouted to the sky, "Come and kill me, come and kill me. I knew you wouldn't let me go, come and kill me." Me. Everyone in this world is a coward. What’s the point of me being in this state for the sake of the people in this world? If you want to poison the world, just go ahead and poison me. If you want to kill me, come and kill me. I, don’t you have great hands and eyes? Aren’t you ready to turn all the medicinal materials in Taixia into poisons that kill without blood? Come and kill me, come and kill me…”
After being chased away by the inn and verbally stimulated and humiliated by the innkeeper. The middle-aged man who was thrown out of the inn in front of everyone seemed to be going crazy. This crazy momentum scared several innkeepers to take two steps back. They guarded the door of the inn to prevent him from rushing in again in his madness. There was some commotion in the inn, and everyone watching the excitement, except Zhang Tie, quickly dispersed.
"Ah, this man's mind is a little abnormal. Let's call the police to arrest him. If he hurts others, it will be a bit troublesome..." Someone around him said in a low voice.
"Send him to the Good Doctor's Hospital and let the doctor take a look. In such a cold weather, people are going crazy. It's so pitiful..."
Hearing the words of the people around him, the man laughed even more crazily and burst into tears, "Yes, I am a madman, I am a madman..."
"Every hero is short of breath, and no one is in trouble. There is nothing good to see here. Everyone watching should disperse. My friend, don't be too excited!" While everyone was watching, a clear and calm man The voice came out from the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw a tall and tall young man wearing a snowproof cape standing behind the crowd and speaking. Judging from the voice, the person speaking He shouldn't be old, he seems to be less than twenty years old, but people with sharp eyes can find that the cloak and boots on this young man's feet are both well-made and rare things on the market, and this young man There is an indescribable aura about him, and even if his face is not shown, he can't help but make people feel a little in awe.
"Ha, it's all gone, it's all gone..."
There seemed to be a magic power in the young man's words. When the young man said it was time to leave, the onlookers really dispersed one by one. Even the middle-aged man who was a little excited and crazy just now became more and more excited. The young man's words seemed to calm down suddenly, and he stopped shouting or doing anything out of the ordinary.
Of course, it was Zhang Tie who spoke, and Zhang Tie had already used a hint of the secret technique of soul-stirring in his words. Although he was speaking, it was the most comfortable thing to hear in other people's ears. The best words are those that will unknowingly act according to the meaning of his words. When the crowd dispersed, Zhang Tie walked out of the crowd and came to the door of the inn. His voice was calm and he asked in a calm voice. Several waiters at the door of the inn asked, "How much money does this guy still owe your inn?"
For some reason, the guy who was so eloquent just now shrank his head in fear and whispered, "This person... stayed in our inn for a few more days. After all, he still owes our inn more than 20 silver coins. We He also runs a small business..."
"Okay, I know your difficulties, and I can't blame you. Take..." Zhang Tie flicked his fingers, and a gold coin flew out of his hand, drawing a beautiful golden arc in the air, and landed on it. into the hands of the clerk, "I paid the money he owed for him, and there is no need to find the rest. Let me tell you shopkeepers, it is good when you can save people in danger, but it would be better if it starts well and ends well..."
"Yes... yes... yes, thank you, thank you..." With the gold coins in hand, several inn clerks suddenly laughed and became even more polite to Zhang Tie. Such generous guests who like to help people out of trouble, left. Welcome everywhere.
"Did he leave anything else at your inn?"
"No more, no more!" The innkeeper shook his head quickly, "When he came here, he only brought a torn cotton blanket to keep out the cold. He didn't bring anything else with him!"
Zhang Tie turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was just crazy and excited. Now he was wrapped in clothes and had calmed down. His face was a little blue in the cold wind. He said calmly, "Come with me!"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, followed Zhang Tie for two steps, looked at the tattered bedding on the ground that had fallen into the mud, and wanted to pick it up again.
"There's no need to pick it up. It's already dirty and wet, so just throw it away!"
Hearing Zhang Tie's words, the middle-aged man stopped his movements, and then shrank obediently and followed Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie and the middle-aged man walked on the road for a while. Zhang Tie didn't say anything, and the middle-aged man didn't say anything either. The two of them walked for more than ten minutes until they walked to another, more prosperous street, and came to a place called " Jinyun Hotel” and then stopped.
This "Jinyun Hotel", no matter the grade or size, is simply countless times higher than the inn just now. Although it was a cold day, the garden outside the hotel was still green. The garden's There is a huge glass fiber reinforced plastic sky dome on the top, and there is heating on the ground. The bright marble floor is shining and not dusty. Two rows of tall and beautiful girls are welcoming guests at the door.
Zhang Tie walked in directly. The middle-aged man looked at the splendid scene of the hotel and hesitated for a moment as he was a little afraid to go in.
"Why, I didn't even risk my life just now, but now I don't even dare to enter a hotel!" Zhang Tie turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, took out his desperate driver, and followed Zhang Tie directly in.
"Sir, do you want to..." A girl who was greeting guests in the hotel came over and glanced at Zhang Tie and the middle-aged man who was following Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie had an aura of nobility on his body. He was angry, but the middle-aged man following him was a little slovenly. The two of them seemed to be from two different worlds.
"Prepare a separate courtyard for me..." Zhang Tie said and handed over a gold ticket worth 1,000 gold coins. When the girl who greeted guests saw this "large denomination" gold ticket, she swallowed everything else she said. Well, with such a golden ticket, two people can stay in the most expensive villa in the hotel with food and accommodation for a year.
Under the surprised gazes of a group of well-dressed gentlemen walking in the hotel, the little girl who greeted the guests directly took Zhang Tie and the middle-aged man to a quiet hot spring courtyard in the hotel.
"Look at his figure and bring him some decent clothes and shoes. It doesn't matter what the price is!" Zhang Tie said to the girl who welcomed the guest. There are high-end shopping malls in hotels of this level. It's very convenient to buy things like clothes.
After the welcoming girl left, Zhang Tie said to the middle-aged man, "Go take a shower first, change your clothes, and then come out to talk to me..."
After explaining this, Zhang Tie sat quietly in the living room of the other courtyard, drinking tea, waiting for the middle-aged man to come out and talk to him after taking a shower.
