Chapter 197 News
"Another foreigner is here."

"Yeah, Siyanzi's family is really making a lot of money. I wish I had known that I chose to open an inn."

"Come on, this has been handed down a long time ago. You opened a ball inn. At that time, you were still the liquid under your father's crotch."

"Screw you."

On the street, the two men chatting looked at the inn and said.

"Come on, let's go in and rest here today."

Withdrawing his gaze from looking at the inn, Lin Jiu casually said something to Wen Cai, and then stepped directly into the inn.

"Oh, master."

Wen Cai quickly nodded and followed.

When Lin Jiu entered the inn and saw a fat man with four eyes sitting at the counter, he immediately felt certain.

This is the village where horse thieves will attack in the original plot!
Seeing the visitor, the four-eyed fat man at the counter's eyes lit up, and hurriedly walked out, and said enthusiastically, "You two guests, are you going to be a top-notch or staying in the store?"

"Live... Awei?!"

Wen Cai was about to strike up a conversation, but after seeing the other person's face clearly, he couldn't help opening his mouth wide, with a dull expression on his face: "You, why are you here?"

"Awei?"

The four-eyed fat man who looked quite similar to Awei was a little puzzled, and then said with a smile: "Guest officer, you have mistaken me, I am not Awei, my name is Aqiang."

"Aqiang? Is it true or not?"

Wen Cai looked suspicious, this guy looks too much like Ah Wei, but he doesn't seem as stupid as Ah Wei...

"Hey, he's really not Ah Wei, he just looks a little like him."

Waving to Wen Cai, Lin Jiu smiled and said, "We'll stay in the hotel, just ask for a room, and prepare some food for us first, just order two of your inn's specialty dishes."

"well."

Hearing this, Ah Qiang led the way with a smile, and after inviting Lin Jiu and Wen Cai to their seats to finish, he enthusiastically brought a teapot and poured two cups of tea.

thump—

After putting down the teapot and teacup, he frowned slightly, looked towards the back kitchen where the curtain was hung, and shouted: "A Xing, A Xing, you lazy bastard, a guest is coming, hurry up and call the back kitchen to prepare two specialties." Good food."

After shouting, he smiled and said to Lin Jiu and Wen Cai: "You two guests, please wait a moment."

"understood."

An impatient answer came from the back kitchen.

"This guy is so angry, I didn't know that I vented my anger yesterday!"

Ah Qiang muttered angrily, but then remembered that he was entertaining guests, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly at Lin Jiu.

"Well, no hurry."

Lin Jiu smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Brother Ah Qiang, if you are not busy now, if you have nothing to do, you might as well sit down and have a cup of tea together?"

"Okay."

Hearing this, Ah Qiang, with a look of no surprise, sat down on Lin Jiu's right hand side, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Is there anything you want to ask, sir?" , to put it bluntly, no money is charged.”

His inn was handed down from his grandfather, and it has been in his hands for so many years. He has been running around in the inn since he was a child, knowing that most passers-by will ask some questions.

"Well, I want to ask for directions."

Lin Jiu nodded indifferently. The experience of traveling all over the world in the early years has already made him familiar with the road. It is not surprising that the store knows what questions he will ask.

"Ask for directions?"

Wen Cai was a little puzzled, shouldn't the master want to talk about the horse thief?
But he didn't plan to ask too much, the master must have his own plan, so he just waited with peace of mind.

"Guest officer, tell me."

"That's right, I want to go..."

Lin Jiu was also unambiguous, and directly reported the location where he was going to Simu, his junior brother, and said, "Brother Ah Qiang, we shouldn't be going in the wrong direction, right?"

"It's not wrong, the direction is right."

There are countless passers-by who have been received by the inn, and Ah Qiang has a lot of directions and locations, so he gave the answer directly, saying: "You follow our village towards the end of the village until you pass two villages and turn over a small hill. After the dense forest, it should be almost near the location you mentioned, guest officer."

Lin Jiu nodded, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Then thank you Brother Aqiang."

"it's okay no problem."

Ah Qiang waved his hand and said, "Guest officer, do you have any questions? If not, I'll go to the back kitchen to remind you?"

With that said, he was about to stand up.

"Nothing."

Lin Jiu shook his head.

"Well, since you don't want to ask any more questions, that's fine, I'll go and see if the food is ready for you."

Ah Qiang nodded, took the teacup he had used, and headed towards the back kitchen.

Looking thoughtfully at the back of Ah Qiang leaving, Lin Jiu picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank it slowly.

At this time, Wen Cai finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said anxiously: "Master, why didn't you tell that Ah Qiang about the horse thief?

The town that was ransacked by horse thieves before is not too far from this village. After we leave, what if those horse thieves target this place? "

"Say it, of course I want to talk, but not at this time, as for us leaving..."

Lin Jiu shook his head, how could he simply and clearly tell others that there are horse thieves who might come to kill him after he just stayed in someone's inn and asked them questions?
I don't even think about whether people will believe it, maybe they will regard you as a person with malicious intentions.To say, you can't just say it simply, it has to make people feel worth it...

Then, he looked at Wen Cai with a cold look in his eyes and said, "You forgot what the master told you, are you sitting on the sidelines? Here is the position of waiting for the rabbit!"

"Stand by and wait for the rabbit..."

Wen Cai murmured, and couldn't help but look at Lin Jiu, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu frowned and said, "Speak up if you have something to say!"

"Oh."

Wen Cai pursed his lips, and then said a little coyly: "Master, what does it mean to wait for a rabbit...?"

"..."

Lin Jiu was stunned, his eyelids twitched, dare you not know the meaning of 'waiting for the rabbit'?Then I said so much before, I guess you didn't understand what it meant?

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the urge to beat Wencai's head madly, he explained with a stiff smile: "Stand by and wait, combined with our own situation, the general meaning is that the horse thief will come to ransack this village, and the master I knew their purpose in advance, so I took you here first, as long as they come, we can do the math with our minds or not, do you understand now?"

"Oh~~"

Wen Cai showed a look of surprise, and then opened his mouth again.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu hurriedly yelled to stop, for fear of being questioned again.

He pointed to Ah Qiang who came out from the back kitchen with a tray and said, "Okay, the food is here, don't talk too much."

"Guest officer, this is your meal, use it slowly."

Ah Qiang enthusiastically came to the table, put down the bowls and chopsticks filled with white rice, a large pot of rice, and two meat and one vegetarian——

The two meats are hares hunted on the mountain, and the fish that swim in the river are the small cabbage grown by the village itself.

"Gulong~~"

Seeing the steaming hot food, Wen Cai's eyeballs seemed to turn green all of a sudden, and his saliva was profusely secreted.He looked eagerly at the food on the table, then turned his head to look at Lin Jiu.

"Ah."

After nodding to Ah Qiang, Lin Jiu looked at Wen Cai eagerly at him and said angrily: "Okay, don't look at it, eat it."

After hearing the words, Wen Cai hurriedly picked up the bowls and chopsticks - after eating dry food for such a long time, without any oil or water, he was really hungry.

Seeing Wencai's food, Rao Qiang has opened the inn for so many years and met all kinds of guests, so he can't help but look at it again——

If this guest officer hadn't been neatly dressed, he would have been a real beggar who had been starving for days.

"Guest officer, you two have a good meal, and I will arrange a room for you here."

The corner of his mouth twitched, Ah Qiang tried his best to keep a smile on his face.

"and many more."

Suddenly, Lin Jiu called out to Ah Qiang.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with the guest officer?"

Ah Qiang stamped his feet, and looked at Lin Jiu suspiciously, didn't he ask the way just now?
"I have a piece of news here. I wonder if you are interested, brother Aqiang."

Lin Jiudan smiled and said, "Of course, I need a reward."

As he said that, he pointed to the meals in front of him: "These are the rewards, the rewards for my news."

"Oh?"

Ah Qiang rolled his eyes, obviously interested. He has been in the inn for so many years, but he has never encountered anyone who sells news to him, and he only paid for a meal.

This person is a bit strange.

After pondering for a while, Ah Qiang shook his head and said: "Guest officer, if it's any ordinary news, then let's forget it. Although the meal cost is not much, it can't be wasted, right?"

"Of course it's not ordinary news. If you are not interested in hearing the news, brother Aqiang, I will pay for the meal."

Lin Jiudan smiled.

"That's fine."

Ah Qiang's heart moved, he seemed to have nothing to lose, and said with a smile: "Then we have agreed in advance, if I am not interested in the news you tell me, guest officer, you will have to give me the money."

"nature."

Lin Jiu nodded.

Seeing this, Ah Qiang smiled, and no longer concealed his curiosity, and asked with great interest: "Well, tell me, guest officer, what's the news?"

"News from the horse thief."

Lin Jiu still had a smile on his face: "The news that horse thieves will come to this village to loot! Brother Aqiang, what do you think of the news?"

"What did you say?!"

Ah Qiang was shocked, and couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "The horse thief will come to our village to loot?!"
