At this time, the shopkeeper who had been hiding behind the counter finally came out after looking at the three of them.
He came directly between Little Eagle and the waiter, and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm really sorry for this guest. My young man has always been timid, and he has been frightened these past few days. He may have some misunderstandings about the three of you. Please be patient and don't be the same as him."
Although the shopkeeper also looked trembling, he had seen some things about the world.
Although Gu Yuan and the other three came to stay at the hotel, the atmosphere in this town was weird. The little eagle even shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door, which was indeed a bit scary.
The shopkeeper has run this inn in Sanyuan Town for many years and has seen all kinds of guests. Based on his many years of experience, he judged that Gu Yuan and the others did not have any malicious intentions and were indeed three human beings, so he took the initiative to come out.
This shopkeeper was the first person who took the initiative to talk to Gu Yuan and the others after they entered Sanyuan Town.
Although it seemed a bit forced, we still managed to strike up a conversation.
I have to say this is a good sign.
So, Gu Yuan quickly winked at Li Cheng, who was on the side, and told him to stop the little eagle and stop treating the only shopkeeper who was willing to talk harshly.
Li Cheng understood immediately and stepped forward to pull the little eagle who still wanted to argue, and stopped him behind him, signaling that he should not be reckless.
The little eagle finally closed his mouth with confidence, but his eyes were quite unkind.
Li Cheng stepped forward and saluted the shopkeeper who spoke to him, and said politely:
"Shopkeeper, my companion has always been reckless. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Compared with the little eagle who has a bad temper, Li Cheng is handsome and gentle.
He was dressed in white clothes, with his sleeves fluttering when the breeze blew, and he looked like a gentle and elegant gentleman.
The shopkeeper saw that he showed his talent and was quite polite in his words. In addition, he was a cultivator after all, so he suddenly felt a good impression of him.
In addition, when Gu Yuan and the others entered the store before, they were indeed not considerate in their hospitality, so it was hard to blame Little Eagle for shouting.
He handed over his hand again and said: "This guest is too polite. Our Sanyuan Town has had many twists and turns recently, which has made the whole town panic.
Therefore, I neglected three guests and invited three guests."
After a polite exchange between the two parties, the shopkeeper personally led Gu Yuan and the others to the counter, registered them, and opened three upper rooms for them.
It's rare that the shopkeeper is willing to chat more. How could Gu Yuan let go of such a convenience to inquire about information.
So he let the little eagle go to the guest room upstairs to put his luggage, while he and Li Cheng ordered a table of food in the lobby of the inn, planning to eat and drink here and get some news along the way.
Eight dishes, four cold, four hot, two hot soups, and a jug of good wine.
There are more than a dozen tables in the lobby of the inn. I don’t know if business is slow today or for some other reason. Although it’s already dinner time, there are no other guests at all.
In the empty lobby, only Gu Yuan's table sat.
The young man was quite attentive as he ran around, but no matter what questions Gu Yuan wanted to ask him, he pretended to be deaf and refused to speak.
The three of them have treasure bags, so where can they put any luggage?
He just handed the weapon in his hand to the little eagle and dismissed him at the same time.
The little eagle also understood that he had a bad temper, and he had some unpleasantness with the little boy before, so he used the excuse of putting his luggage to go back to the guest room upstairs to rest for a while.
After Li Cheng came up to greet him to come downstairs for dinner, he followed Li Cheng down.
Gu Yuan shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't ask anything.
At this time, six of the eight dishes had been served. After all, there was only Gu Yuan at the table, so the kitchen served the dishes very quickly.
When the last few hot dishes arrived, the shopkeeper himself took two white porcelain wine bottles and several cups and served them politely.
"What happened before was always due to the shop's fault and negligence. This bottle of wine is an apology to the three of you."
The shopkeeper put the extra bottle of wine on the table, smiled and nodded to Gu Yuan and the others.
After all, these three people are also cultivators, and the shopkeeper can't afford to offend them.
The shopkeeper came over in person to find out how Gu Yuan would miss such a good opportunity.
Seeing that the shopkeeper had a good impression of Li Cheng before, he quickly winked at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng understood immediately, stood up and said to the shopkeeper:
"The shopkeeper is so polite, how can I do this?"
"It should, it should."
"When a young man opens his business, it would be the biggest mistake to neglect the customers."
"This is a pot of old wine. I apologize a little and ask you three not to refuse anymore."
Li Cheng had originally intended to get closer to the innkeeper at Gu Yuan's suggestion.
Since the shopkeeper brought an extra bottle of wine, Li Cheng simply opened his mouth and invited the shopkeeper to sit down and have a drink together.
The shopkeeper couldn't refuse, so he had to sit down at the empty seat opposite Li Cheng and eat and drink a few drinks with the three of them.
The shopkeeper is also a greedy drinker. He must have been too nervous and depressed in the past few days. After drinking a few cups of yellow soup, and with Li Cheng's eloquence, the shopkeeper is no longer as wary of the three of them as before, but instead
Opened up the conversation.
The shopkeeper's face was red from drinking, and he kept telling the three of them gossips and interesting stories about the small town. The shopkeeper was a chatty person, and he knew everything about the parents of the boss and the parents of the west!
Seeing that the time was right, Gu Yuan winked at both Li Cheng and Little Eagle again.
The little eagle lowered his head to eat the food. Li Cheng stood up quickly and refilled the wine glass in front of the shopkeeper with a full glass of wine.
Li Cheng pondered for a moment, and after waiting for the shopkeeper to drink the wine in his glass, he asked the shopkeeper about the strange situation in Sanyuan Town today.
"I and my two companions have just arrived in your town, and something is very strange to me. I would like to ask the shopkeeper to enlighten us and help us solve our doubts.
Why do the people in this small town treat the three of me like snakes and scorpions?"
Hearing Li Cheng's question, the shopkeeper's expression visibly stiffened, and he paused while still holding the wine glass.
Gu Yuan could feel that the shopkeeper was mostly awake from drinking.
Before Li Cheng could ask further questions, the shopkeeper actually stood up from his seat and apologized to Li Cheng and the others.
"Three of you, I'm sorry.
I just remembered that the kitchen still has some things to deal with, so I can no longer accompany the three of you."
"Forgive me, forgive me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper was about to turn around and leave.
It took a lot of effort for the three of them to find someone who was willing to chat with them, but they were still willing to let the shopkeeper leave easily.
Li Cheng stood up from his seat and said to the shopkeeper:
"I would also like to ask the shopkeeper to tell you the truth. The three of us would be very grateful."
