Chapter 116 - Honor does not eat a forfeit
Just as the two of them were about to enter the inn, a woman dressed in a strange attire suddenly walked in with a horse whip in her hand.She walked straight to the corner of the stairs and sat down. She placed the horsewhip on the table and shouted, "Waiter!"
The clear and melodious voice entered Mo Xie"s ears, causing her to look over curiously. At that moment, she just happened to meet the gaze of the lady, and for some reason, Mo Xie immediately started to like the lady, not mentioning her beauty, she also seemed to be a straightforward person like her.
The woman seemed to sense Mo Xie"s gaze and nodded to her. She pursed her lips and smiled, then took out a teacup to take a look at her surroundings.
Mo Long walked into the inn with Yue"er in tow. The shopkeeper saw two poor girls enter, and his expression was completely different from that of the woman just now. With a contemptuous wink at the waiter, he signaled for him to come forward and receive them.
Carrying a white cloth over his shoulder, the waiter hurriedly ran down from the second floor. With a few steps, he blocked the path of Mo Li and Yue"er, and asked with a disdainful look on his face:
"Do you two want to stay in the restaurant or ask for food?"These words attracted the attention of the other guests in the inn, and their gazes fell upon Mo Xie and Yue"er who were standing by the door, as if they were waiting for a good show. Only the young lady sitting in the corner frowned upon seeing this, and a tinge of worry appeared in her eyes.
Yue Er stood by Mo Xie"s side with her eyes wide open in fear. Mo Li sized up the waiter and laughed: "Of course I am, I want to beg for food!""Go, go, go! If you want food, go!"
With that, the waiter began to chase them away. Seeing this, Mo Liu walked past the impatient waiter, walked to the counter and looked at the shopkeeper who was doing the calculation, and said:
"What if I don"t leave?"
The shopkeeper pointed to the door with the same disdain, raised his chin and said coldly: "You beggar! Do you really think of me as a guest? Scram! "With that, he reminded the waiter to chase them away. Seeing this, Yue"er whispered into Mo Xie"s ear, "Miss, why don"t we go out first and think of a way."
Mo Xie lowered his eyes and looked at Yue"er, and asked, "Why are you leaving?" She had originally thought that the waiter had never seen the real world and that his eyesight was poor. However, the manager of this store was just looking down on people!Just as he was lost in thought, the waiter came to chase him away, "Get lost now! What are you doing standing here? "
As soon as he said that, he pushed Mo Xie and Yue"er. Because the waiter was too strong, Yue Er staggered and was almost pushed to the ground. Luckily, Mo Li managed to hold onto Yue Er, preventing her from being pushed to the ground.
The woman in the corner had wanted to warn Mo Li of the moment when the waiter"s hand fell, but Mo Li was faster than her by a step and grabbed Yue Er, avoiding the waiter"s attack.
Seeing that, the waiter rolled up his sleeves and called out: "Heh! I don"t believe that I can"t chase you away! "As soon as he said that, he started to move, ready to attack Mo Xie again. But just at that moment, when his fist landed in front of Mo Xie, suddenly, a loud and clear scream came out, the rowdy atmosphere in the inn instantly quietened down. More and more people started to watch the show, and some people were even interested in the fight between Mo Li and the waiter, betting on the outcome of the fight between Mo Li and the waiter.
The waiter"s arm was grabbed by one of Mo Xie"s hands, which turned around and landed on his back. Very quickly, the waiter"s begging voice came:
"Aunt, this little one was wrong, please let this little one go!"
Mo Long glared at the waiter and exerted his strength, causing the waiter to scream out miserably. Even Yue Er, who was standing next to him, couldn"t help but to whisper to Mo Li with a frown:"Miss, why don"t we forget about it?" After all, they were women who had come to a foreign land to cause trouble for others in their own territory.
At that moment, the situation reversed. Everyone stared at the pet.i.te figure of Mo Li at the door in disbelief. They did not expect that this woman really had some skills. This caused many of the guests to look at Mo Long in a different light and appreciate him a little more.
Seeing Yue"er pleading for him, the waiter looked at her and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, my lady. Why don"t we just forget about it? "Ouch!"
Another sharp pain came from his arm. The shopkeeper never expected that the beggar who came to the inn today was actually a pract.i.tioner. He couldn"t stand it any longer and hurriedly put down what he was doing and walked over to warn Mo Li."Miss, please have mercy on him and let him go. This old man will remind you to let him go!"
"Released? I haven"t even opened my mouth when you all kicked me out! Now that you tell me to have mercy on others, do you really think that you can be bullied by these two stinking men just because you"re a woman? Why don"t you take a p.i.s.s and try your best to judge your appearance by how you look like! "
This shopkeeper was clearly not a good person. He had a sharp mouth and a monkey cheeks, and his eyes looked extremely sly and cunning. If Mo Li didn"t teach them a lesson today, then in the future, there would definitely be countless poor people like her who would be bullied!Just as she said that, the young lady in the corner suddenly stood up, looking at Mo Xie with a face full of worship, she waved her hands and cheered: "Good! Well said! "
Everyone heard the voice and turned to look at the corner. Seeing this, the woman smiled with her round eyes, "Haha, everyone, continue. Continue."
Hearing the woman"s words, the shopkeeper shot a glance at her and was startled for a moment. Then he looked at Mo Xie and thought of what she had said to humiliate them, his face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "My lady, don"t refuse a toast! Someone! Throw these two troublesome people out for me! "
Mo Xie let out a cold laugh, "Today, I really want to taste what this wine tastes like! Yue Er! Find a place to sit down! "
With that, she coldly glanced at the four men from who knows where. One of them was holding the arm of the waiter, while the other one was tightly clenching. The crisp sound of bones could be heard.
Seeing them slowly walk over, Mo Li gave Yue"er a glance, signaling her to back down. Yue"er stood blankly on the spot for a moment, then looked at Mo Xie in puzzlement. Miss, did you want her to sit down? Did she hear wrongly?Seeing that Yue"er was still hesitating, Mo Xie"s voice became colder and colder: "Didn"t you hear what I said?"
Yue"er was trembling with fear and didn"t dare to move. The girl in the corner stared at the four young men and shouted at Yue"er, "Lady, come sit here!"
She could see that when Mo Li ordered Yue"er to find a place to sit down, she was confident that she could teach these people a lesson. If Yue"er stood by her side, she would definitely disturb her and put herself in a pa.s.sive position. She could roughly guess that although the two of them were also dressed as maidservants, the ident.i.ty of the woman who had grabbed the waiter was definitely not simple!
