Chapter 2332: Chapter 2332: Luminous Pearl
The middle-aged man said simply, "Let’s eat quickly; we still need to hit the road! Pack ten pounds of dry food for us to eat on the way."
"Hey! Sure thing! Please come inside, sir." After saying that, the waiter grabbed the horse’s reins, glanced at them, and then shouted inside, "These guests want to eat and pack dry food; they’re in a hurry. Brothers, be quick with your hands!"
Just then, two more waiters came out, welcoming the middle-aged man and the carriage driver warmly, pulling and pushing them, "Please, come inside quickly, gentlemen; it’s too hot outside."
The middle-aged man hesitated and stopped, saying to the driver, "You can’t leave; you have to watch the carriage."
The woman in the carriage is very important; the State Preceptor personally requested her, and nothing can go wrong.
Upon hearing this, the waiter promptly said enthusiastically, "Don’t worry, sir; we’ll keep an eye on your carriage; it won’t get lost. Come and eat and drink freely, just like you’re at home!"
Yet the middle-aged man remained uneasy, "There’s a person in the carriage."
"A person? Then call them out to eat together!"
"She... she’s not feeling well."
"Ah, hahaha...! No problem, no problem; we’ll take care of everything for you. Rest assured, coming to our inn is like coming home."
The middle-aged man was in a dilemma, but after thinking it over, Xuexue was unconscious, and leaving her in the carriage shouldn’t lead to any incident. So he felt reassured enough to enter the inn with the driver.
The waiter sweet-talked the middle-aged man into entering, revealing a subtle grin of satisfaction.
He didn’t notice a little ghost subtly flying by his side.
He suddenly shivered all over, instinctively hugging himself, looking up at the sky, muttering, "Strange, how do I feel so cold in this heat?"
Soon after, he shivered again, "Ah! Oh my! I can’t stand it! What’s with this damn weather, better hurry inside."
After saying this, he dashed quickly into the inn.
Next to him, Xiao Taohong rolled her eyes, moved, and floated onto the carriage.
"Master, master, inspection complete; it’s confirmed this is a black inn, living off robbery, though they aim high, only targeting the wealthy and not small things." Xiao Taohong reported, her mouth babbling rapidly as soon as she got onto the carriage.
Xuexue: "Only targeting the wealthy, not small things?"
Xiao Taohong nodded vigorously, saying repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I heard it clearly in the kitchen just now."
As they spoke, two waiters walked toward the carriage, talking while walking, "The boss just said they’re empty shells, the most valuable thing is this carriage; we’ll let them off the hook."
"Alright!"
"Oh, that guest said there’s a sick person in the carriage, go check it out."
The waiter, looking about twenty-eight or twenty-nine, quickly came to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw the scene before him...
Inside the carriage, a cute little boy, about four or five years old, with a tiger-like head and brain, stood beside a stunning woman, shaking her with his small hand anxiously, "Mom, mom, what’s wrong? Don’t scare Hu’er; Hu’er is afraid."
"Hu’er, don’t be afraid; mom will be fine after taking medicine."
"But we don’t have money for medicine, mom; if you don’t take medicine, will you die?"
"Nonsense, how can we have no money? Your father still has two Luminous Pearls, remember?"
