Chapter 4 The Tough Boss
When I looked up, I saw the Shilong Inn in the mouth of the old man surnamed Wu. Ghost Cry and Cai Wei were both seeing such an inn for the first time, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes at the same time.
The so-called Shilong Inn is an inn embedded in the mountains.
The whole mountain is like a knife in the middle, and there is a straight gap, and part of the gap is a stone path. Part of it is the Stone Dragon Inn.
Looking at its scale, the Xilong Inn is not small. Inside, it's probably bigger.
Looking at Cai Wei's surprised appearance, the old man surnamed Wu said proudly: "This is the Shilong Inn, a unique inn in the world." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the ghost cry again: "Boy, why aren't you surprised, haven't you been here before?"
Ghost Cry shook his head and said, "No, I'm surprised too. ”
The old man surnamed Wu shook his head: "I didn't see it." ”
"Big Brother Ghost is already surprised. Cai Wei said: "The eyes are much bigger than usual. ”
The old man surnamed Wu looked at it carefully, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Is there one?"
Ghost Cry: "......"
Cai Wei nodded!
......
Before arriving at the Stone Dragon Inn, you have to pass through a stone road, which is also the first stone road that Ghost May Cry and Cai Wei encountered.
The so-called stone road is a passage carved out of the stone wall.
The passage is not wide, and can only accommodate about three people in parallel. But on the side of the road, there are railings, there is a shelter overhead, and she has become accustomed to it all the way, so Cai Wei is not so afraid.
However, the end of the stone path made her face pale.
Several arm-thick iron chains, through more than ten zhang of the sky, the two ends are nailed to the stone walls of the two mountains, and the wooden planks are paved in the middle, which is an iron chain bridge.
The mountain wind was fierce, the chain bridge swayed, and the chains rubbed against each other, making a crisp sound.
Cai Wei's face turned pale, and she grabbed Ghost Cry's arm hard, and the green tendons on the back of her hand burst out.
The old man surnamed Wu took the lead in stepping forward, humming a drunken song, and staggered forward on the chain bridge.
Ghost Cry and Cai Wei followed, as soon as they got on the bridge, Cai Wei was soft under her feet, fortunately she held on tightly, otherwise it would be dangerous. Ghost Cry soothed, "Don't look down. ”
Cai Wei nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, and then, Ghost Cried frowned. I saw Cai Wei stand up straight, let go of the ghost crying hand, and walked forward while crying, and actually walked very steadily.
Not again!
Along the way, there have been several encounters with danger, and Cai Wei is like this. While shedding tears, he survived the crisis peacefully. This time, again.
Ghost Cry followed her, looking at her back, not knowing whether this was good or bad.
The big dark horse walked at the end with a leisurely pace.
Very smoothly, several people crossed the bridge, walked a distance along the stone road, and finally arrived at the Shilong Inn.
The door of the Stone Dragon Inn is at the end of this stone road.
When he led the horse and walked in, he heard a shout: "You dead ghost also know to come back!"
The scolding was a woman, the proprietress of this stone dragon inn. She looks to be around thirty years old with a plump and attractive figure. Dressed in a gray cloth shirt, the placket is heroically open, showing a deep groove that absorbs people's souls, and the sleeves are rolled up high, revealing two snow-white arms, fierce and beautiful.
At this moment, she was holding a butcher knife, poking the nose of the old man surnamed Wu and scolding: "You are a dead ghost, you don't say hello, you disappear for two or three days at once, you can't be treated as an old lady, do you?
The old man surnamed Wu smiled dryly, raised his hands, leaned his back against the wall, and said with a dry smile: "There is something to say, there is something to say...... There are guests, we'll talk about other things later!"
When Ghost Cry and Cai Wei entered, they found that this Stone Dragon Inn was much brighter than expected, and it was not so dim.
The layout is neatly divided, and it looks very wide, more than ten zhang long, four zhang wide, and one and a half zhang high.
The outside is similar to the stone path, there is no wall to cover it, but it is blocked by a guardrail, and there is nothing to cover the guardrail within a zhang wide, so it is obvious that this is a passageway.
The inside of the aisle is the inside, which is divided into two parts, one part is the hall, and the stone tables and stone benches are placed, and the stone tables are square, a total of fifteen, divided into three rows, and there are four long stone benches around each stone table.
Then the other part was the stable, in which the mules and horses were placed, and the two parts were separated by wooden planks.
In the innermost part of the hall, there are two doors, one leading to the kitchen and the other to the guest rooms.
At this moment, several tables were full of people, all with sad faces. Two lean men dressed as men yawned boredly at the kitchen door, glancing to the inside of the doorway.
Inside the door, the old man surnamed Wu was being pressed against the wall with a knife by the glamorous proprietress and did not dare to move.
The proprietress raised her phoenix eyes, saw the ghost crying and Cai Wei, raised a knife and stuck it on the wall against the ear of the old man surnamed Wu. The solid stone wall, as if made of tofu, was easily poked into it with a knife.
The old man surnamed Wu was already paralyzed by fright, and only heard the proprietress say angrily: "I'll settle accounts with you tonight." ”
Then his face changed, and he smiled: "Oh, two guest officers, please inside." ”
turned his head, his face changed again, and he scolded: "Two lazy people, why don't you hurry up and recruit guests!"
The two guys trembled, hurriedly came up to greet them warmly, helped take away the big black horse, and helped arrange the seats.
In winter, this stone table and stone bench is really cool, and when you touch it, you can't help but gasp, and you can't help yourself, feeling that you are not sitting on a stone bench, but sitting on a big ice mound.
"What do you want to eat?"
Cai Wei looked a little dazed, and it seemed that she had not recovered yet. The ghost cried, "What do you have here?"
"There was shredded radish with rice. ”
"And then?"
"It's gone. ”
Ghost Cry took a deep breath and looked at the enthusiastic guy in front of him: "Then what else do you want me to choose?"
"Isn't this to honor you?"
I'm afraid that there is some misunderstanding if you are not respected, and the ghost cry resisted the urge to hit someone: "Let's come to shredded radish with rice." ”
A plate of shredded radish, a small pot of rice. The shredded radish was more delicious than expected, and it was very delicious, but this meal cost 100 Wen.
Then, the guy arranged the room.
The room is also carved out of stone, and there are stones up and down, left and right, front and back. It was pitch black inside the passage, so there was a torch every few steps, and there was a strong smell of oil.
Fortunately, the room was not as bad as expected, the room was just above and below the stone passage and the hall, leaving windows on the outside, ventilated and not dim.
However, two rooms cost 100 wen a night.
On the second day, Cai Wei had recovered.
The two of them were in the hall, finished eating breakfast worth 100 Wen, drank tea, and waited for the old man surnamed Wu. According to the man, he should have been squeezed dry by the proprietress by now, and he couldn't get up until near noon.
What can they do, they can only wait.
Of the guests who stayed here yesterday, a few left one after another, and a few were still unwilling, staying here and nibbling on dry food.
Extremely bored, the two chatted, and naturally talked about the wonders here, Cai Wei sighed: "I don't know how this stone road and this stone dragon inn were carved." ”
"I know that. The ghost cried and said, "This is related to a Bashu swordsman, and it is widely spread in our place. ”
