After entering the inn and scanning everyone, the skeleton walked to an empty table and sat down with two swords on his back.
When Ye Zigao brought her a pot of tea, the skeleton man poured it on himself, took a slow sip, tasted it carefully and then praised, "Good tea!"
If Yu Sheng hadn't seen the tea flowing along her bones to the ground, he would have almost believed it.
"Waiter, let's have one of your new dishes, a basket of steamed buns, and a pot of Shaoxing wine, okay," the skeleton said, looking at the dish label, "and a roasted pig's trotters."
"Okay." Ye Zigao just agreed, and the skeleton man asked again: "Let your shopkeeper do it himself."
Seeing Ye Zigao's slight hesitation, "My money is not in vain, otherwise you will return it to me." Skull said.
When the skeleton came, he had already heard from the ghost saint that there were two cooks in the inn, and the most delicious food was what Yu Sheng cooked.
Besides his aunt, no one wanted Yu Sheng to take action. Unless money was offered, Yu Sheng would never refuse.
"Do it, do it." The bank certificate in Yu Sheng's hand was not yet warm, so he went into the kitchen, leaving all the guests to look at the skeleton.
These days, they have seen fairies, ghosts, and monsters, but they have never seen a skeleton that comes to the inn for dinner.
Monk Hai touched his bald head and was glad that he just had no hair. If his scalp was gone, it would be a tragic death.
Yu Sheng quickly made the dishes ordered by the skeleton, and then went into the kitchen to continue working. They came back in such a hurry that they didn't even bother to have lunch.
The new dish is fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots. The fat of the bacon penetrates into the light winter bamboo shoots, giving it a layer of color. The aroma of the vegetables makes it even more attractive.
"Is this the shopkeeper's new dish?" The black girl who was huddled next to the brazier raised her nose when she heard it.
Shi Jingtian and others who were sitting not far from the skeleton were also tempted. The bearded explosive man stared intently at the plate of winter bamboo shoots and bacon.
The skeleton picked up a piece of bacon and slowly placed it in his ferocious mouth. A trace of oil soaked his teeth, making the bearded man swallow a mouthful of saliva.
But after chewing the skeleton, the bearded man shook his head. It was so violent that the meat fell to the ground as soon as he finished eating it.
However, the skeleton nodded, looking very satisfied.
A "gudong" sound and the sound of swallowing saliva clearly sounded in the inn, and everyone present was startled because they had done something wrong.
After another sound was heard and they were sure that it was not coming from themselves, everyone began to look left and right to find the person who was swallowing the saliva, and finally their eyes fell on the bamboo cage.
The skeleton who was eating also saw it. She stopped moving her hands and stared at the bamboo cage until the old man took it away and hid it.
The old man was still salivating. He lowered his head and muttered, "I'll let you eat when I get back to the room later." Only then did the voice stop.
But the skeleton had already set its sights on the old man, and after the old man's gloomy eyes dug out her eyes and said fiercely, "What are you looking at?", she finally broke out.
When the skeleton was still a human, her daughter was abducted and sold to slave owners by human traffickers, which eventually led to her accidentally killing her daughter.
One can imagine Skull's hatred for the culprit who caused all this.
Now I saw a person hiding in the old man's bamboo cage. "Bah", the skeleton slapped the chopsticks and stood up with a crunch, "Beast, let the child out."
Her skeletal hands had already grasped the scabbards on both sides of her waist, "I hate you the most for being inferior to animals."
As soon as he finished speaking, the skeleton struck with a sword. The momentum was so fierce that it even brought with it a burst of sword energy that made the air ripple.
"Why are you so crazy, you inhuman thing?" One of the twins held a chopstick in his hand to block the skeleton's sword.
The skeleton's seemingly indestructible sword was blocked by his chopsticks.
"Are you in the same group?" The skeleton looked them up and down and said scornfully: "The people in the Central Plains have degenerated to the point of being human traffickers."
"You idiot, don't stop spewing nonsense." The other twin also spoke.
"I'm not a human trafficker, please open this cage!" The skeleton's sword was easily blocked, but he still didn't know how to back down.
Anyway, those who are already dead cannot die again. These people are not ghost hunters and witches, so she is not afraid.
The old man placed the bamboo cage tightly behind him without any intention of letting her take a look.
Several people were arguing, and before Ye Zigao and others could react, Yu Sheng rushed out with a kitchen knife, "Human trafficker, human trafficker, where are you, human trafficker?"
He was looking at everyone, "I hate human traffickers the most in my life."
"He!" The skeleton pointed at the old man, "There is a child in his bamboo cage."
"Don't talk nonsense." Shi Jingtian stood up and explained to Yu Sheng, "Shopkeeper Yu, don't get me wrong, the bamboo cage is just my brother's magic weapon."
"Huh, you'll know once you take out the magic weapon." The skeleton said unceremoniously.
Yu Sheng couldn't figure out who was right, so he focused on the old man's bamboo cage.
The air was quiet for a moment, and the skeleton confronting the twins suddenly raised his left hand, and a sword was like a snake spitting a message, and quickly struck the old man's hand protecting the bamboo cage.
The twins who had not blocked them just now took action. With their swords still out of their sheaths, they reached to the left to block the skeleton's sword.
"Damn it, don't push yourself too far," the twins said. "Be careful, I'll tear your bones apart."
"Oh, if it is really a magic weapon, what is there to dodge?" The skeleton was not timid at all.
"Yes, there is nothing to dodge. If you open it, you will know everything." Yu Sheng tilted his head and looked at the bamboo cage, "Isn't the child inside very handsome?"
Hearing this, he had already concluded that there was a child inside.
"I hate you traffickers the most, who dislike the ugly but prefer the handsome." Yu Sheng stood up straight and said righteously.
Shi Jingtian smiled bitterly, "Leader Yu, the things in this bamboo cage are not handsome. On the contrary, they are ugly and shameful, and they are also..."
"Ugly?" This was the only sentence I heard for the rest of my life, "That's even worse than a beast. He kidnapped and sold ugly children."
"It's not a child, it's a living thing." Shi Jingtian bowed his hands to everyone, "In order not to affect your appetite, it's better not to open it."
"Ugly?" Yu Sheng pointed to the dog that was being raped by the demon with a chicken bone next to him, "Are any dogs ugly?"
Shi Jingtian looked at Gouzi and nodded, "A little bit."
Before the dog started barking, the thing in the bamboo cage behind the old man no longer agreed. He knocked on the bamboo cage and said, "You are so ugly, my mother. How can I be as ugly as her?"
You don’t need to distinguish the voice carefully. It sounds like that of a child at first glance, and it especially resembles the accent of a baby who speaks sharply.
The skeleton smiled coldly, "You said it's not a child. What is this if it's not a child?"
"Speak to your mother, speak to your mother, speak your mother's words when you shouldn't." One of the twins kicked the bamboo cage and was avoided by the old man as if he were a treasure.
Shi Jingtian said helplessly: "Open it and let Leader Yu take a look, so as not to cause any misunderstanding about our cooperation."
Bearded man hurriedly stopped him, "No, don't worry, can you let us eat the food first and then open it?"
The twins nodded in unison, "Yes, yes." After hearing each other say the same thing, they glared at each other.
"Is it really that ugly?" Yu Sheng looked at them suspiciously.
Although he felt sorry for Gouzi, except for the stone statue in front of the city lord's gate, he really didn't think anyone was as ugly as Gouzi.
Of course, the exception is the dog in the witch monastery. That dog is simply sloppy and looks unclean to others.
