Chapter 247 A Real-Life Dragon Inn
Barig's expression changed noticeably after Chen Wenjin and the other women killed him without hesitation.
She became cautious when talking to Cheng Feng and the others.
Cheng Feng knew this was an inevitable outcome, but he didn't offer any explanation.
On the one hand, it's not a good thing for an ordinary person like Barig to get too close to him.
On the other hand, no amount of explanation can erase the fear in his heart; humans have an instinctive aversion and fear of killing their own kind.
"I'll keep watch tonight, everyone get some rest."
After moving the body to a distant sand dune and burying it, Cheng Feng returned to the camp and addressed everyone.
Everyone agreed and then returned to their respective tents to rest.
Because it was Ah Xiang's first time committing murder, Huo Ling made a point of living with her.
The young girl has the ability to see ghosts and is prone to seeing bad things, so killing would have a greater impact on her than on ordinary people.
Nothing happened all night,
The next morning, the group once again rode camels and embarked on their journey to find Haizi in the cool morning air.
Barig and Cheng Feng walked in front, followed by Yang Xueli and Chen Wenjin.
Further on was a line of camels carrying various packages of supplies.
Although Cheng Feng's group was small, they had a lot of luggage and belongings, demonstrating their thorough preparation for the trip.
As time went by, the sun gradually began to show its fiery side.
Ignoring the hot wind blowing in their faces, the women put on their sweltering veils.
Around noon, Bagri suggested that they find a place to rest and have something to eat.
By the way, it avoids the hottest part of the day at noon.
Under his guidance, they walked for another half hour in the desert, and in the distance they saw a wooden building standing in the desert.
The rising heat made the entire building seem to be in a dreamlike state, constantly swaying with the heat.
Is it a mirage?
At this moment, Chen Wenjin drove the camel to the front of the group and asked a question.
Cheng Feng shook his head, giving a negative answer:
"No, this is a real place, Barig. Do you know anything about this place?"
For specialized matters, one should consult specialists. Since Barig has traveled in the desert for many years, he must have some understanding of this kind of place.
Sure enough, Barig nodded and said:
"Boss, this place is an inn in the desert that can provide food and lodging for travelers."
The women were all somewhat surprised; they hadn't expected businesses to be so frugal these days.
Hotels have been opened deep in the desert?
Cheng Feng also looked amused.
"Interesting! The Dragon Inn has become a reality!"
What kind of place is the Dragon Gate Inn?
Yang Xueli asked curiously.
"A place similar to this inn, but the landlady of the Dragon Gate Inn is a great beauty!"
In Cheng Feng's mind, the most classic version of Dragon Inn is the one starring Maggie Cheung.
This Hong Kong star portrayed the ruthlessness and seductive charm of the shady shop owner so vividly that it became a classic performance.
"What kind of stunning beauty could she be that our master still can't forget even though he already has three wives!"
"Stop being jealous and let's go. Let's get to the inn and rest properly."
Huo Ling snorted, but by then Cheng Feng had already driven off on his camel, and she couldn't even retort.
Finally, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and catch up with the group.
Soon, Cheng Feng and his group, along with their camels, entered the enclosed courtyard of the desert inn.
A charming young woman emerged from the inn to greet the crowd.
The woman's skin was slightly dark, probably because she had lived in the desert for many years.
But her face shape and features are very delicate. If she were a few shades lighter, she wouldn't be much worse than so-called female celebrities.
Cheng Feng also noticed that the woman had calluses on her hands, with some of the calluses being thicker where she had used a pistol.
"Those who run inns in the desert are no pushovers!"
With a sigh in his heart, Cheng Feng walked towards this real-life Jin Xiangyu.
The proprietress looked Cheng Feng up and down, her face bearing a warm and welcoming smile.
"Please come inside, guests. My men will take care of these camels!"
As the proprietress was speaking, a seemingly honest-looking young man walked out from behind her.
After bowing and scraping to everyone, he jogged over to the camel's enclosure and helped settle it in.
Then Cheng Feng and the others followed the landlady into the inn.
The temperature changed noticeably as soon as you entered; it was much cooler than outside.
Huo Ling and the other girls breathed a sigh of relief and took off their veils, as wearing them for too long had affected their breathing.
"Does the proprietress have any other customers today?"
I saw that there were quite a few people sitting in the lobby of the inn, eating and drinking heartily around the table.
They all turned around to look at Cheng Feng and the others after they entered.
The proprietress smiled sweetly and said:
"My inn is unique in Scorpion Baba; anyone who makes a living in the desert will stop here to rest."
If you had arrived a few days later, I might not have been able to accommodate you all!
Cheng Feng laughed and said:
"We're really lucky, otherwise we'd be baking in the sun."
As the two were talking, Huo Ling squinted at the proprietress's back.
I don't know how many times I cursed her as a vixen in my heart.
She now strongly suspects that Cheng Feng once came here, because this proprietress looks exactly like the proprietress of the Dragon Gate Inn that Cheng Feng mentioned.
Then Cheng Feng mentioned that he wanted to stay there for the night.
The landlady said there weren't many rooms left, only three guest rooms of different sizes.
Cheng Feng waved his hand and reserved all the rooms.
Then the landlady led everyone through the diners in the living room and up to the second floor of the inn.
As Cheng Feng and his group passed by these people, they glanced at them indifferently.
Everyone who made eye contact with Cheng Feng consciously looked away.
Several of the young men, prompted by those around them, shifted their gaze away from the women.
Based on this, Cheng Feng could roughly determine that these were ordinary traveling merchants.
Several of those who were the first to look away were seasoned veterans, and their demeanor was similar to that of Barig.
The second floor of the inn has a circular layout around the staircase.
Residents can see the living room below from their rooms as they walk out of the fence.
Upon arriving at a room, the landlady pushed open the door and then stood aside, saying:
"The room amenities are all new. If you're not comfortable with that, you can use your own."
If you need anything, please let me know; I can provide whatever I have here.
The room wasn't big, but it had everything you needed, from a wooden bed big enough for three people to lie down...
It has everything from tables and chairs to toiletries, wardrobes, and desks.
If there's any downside, it might be that it's too compact, making the room feel cramped.
"Shirley, Ah Xiang, you two can stay in this room."
The two women naturally agreed to Cheng Feng's arrangement, nodding and placing their travel bags in the room.
Of Cheng Feng's three wives, Yang Xueli is the most skilled, and having her live with A Xiang would provide mutual support.
The next room is right next to this one, which is naturally where Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin, the two sisters, live.
The last room is directly opposite the four girls' room, and its layout is basically the same as the first two rooms.
