Chapter 719: Strange Guests, Receive Guests

Ximi country is located in a remote area, but because it is far away from war, its population is not small. After seeing the chaos of many countries and the suffering of the people, I know that this stability is hard-won and very precious. It is also prosperous because of stability. After leaving Wang Qilang's inn, I can see all kinds of people's livelihood.

Li Changxiao is heavily in debt, but he smiled freely and strode towards the bustling world and all living beings. Sometimes he felt lonely on the road, and because the world was getting more and more chaotic, he wanted to look back from time to time, look at and smell the quiet and peaceful fireworks.

Not far away, the "Longlaiju" and "Fenglaiju" inns are in front of us. The financial resources of these two inns should be stronger than Wang Qilang's. You can see it from the plaques in front of the door and the decoration inside the house. Because the names are elegant and auspicious, the business of the two inns is not bad. Most of the people who come and go are dressed in brocade and spend a lot. I saw people at the door, talking, drinking, and having fun.

The three inns were almost next to each other, and they looked down on each other. It was quite subtle. In this situation of being trapped by the dragon and the phoenix, Wang Qilang survived, and he was holding the dragon on his left and the phoenix on his right, and he seemed to have taken advantage of it and was very proud of himself.

If you want to find out the root of the problem, it was really the credit of that woman.

Li Changxiao walked on the street, and people came and went, and it was very lively. He often passed by people. There were mostly tree houses on both sides. Occasionally, you could see huge fruits on the tree houses, which were red, fragrant, and very tempting. They were just hanging on the left and right sides of the street. When the wind blew, the whole street was full of fruit fragrance.

When he walked to a street, Li Changxiao suddenly stopped and looked to one side. He saw more than a dozen men in coarse linen clothes digging the ground together in the open space on one side of the street. It seemed that they had been working for a long time, and there was a big pit one foot deep on the ground. Li Changxiao was curious and approached to ask.

It happened that when he was taking a break, a group of people sat together and chatted. Li Changxiao was naturally outgoing, and somehow he got in and chatted with everyone.

It turned out that these more than ten men were planting "trees" and also planting houses. However, the tree was huge, so the pit to be dug was also bigger.

All the houses in Ximi Country are "tree houses". There is a strange forest near Ximi Country, with strong trunks and hollow inside. Whenever someone wants to buy a house, they first go to buy a "tree", choose a suitable "tree shape", and then plant the tree in the soil, and then add bricks and tiles, repair and decorate it. After everything is completed, it will be a brand new tree house.

And with the years, the tree house continues to grow taller and denser, and the house itself becomes bigger and bigger. After hearing this, Li Changxiao paid attention to the tree houses on both sides and saw that it was true. Some tree houses were tall and towering, while some tree houses were just planted and only ten or twenty feet high. Looking up again, he saw a golden tree in the center of the city, standing tall. I'm afraid it has been planted for hundreds of years.

Li Changxiao has traveled to many places and knows the folk customs and folkways of a place. They are not in those luxurious places. They are all in the secluded alleys and messy vegetable markets. He followed a woman and walked straight to the vegetable market. The woman was frightened and thought she had met a bad guy. She hurriedly quickened her pace, but she couldn't get rid of the other person. Fortunately, the man disappeared when she arrived at the vegetable market.

There are all kinds of people in the market. Common vendors are fruit and pulp vendors.

The people of Ximi often eat fruit pulp. In the vegetable market, there are many kinds of freshly picked fruits. Because they eat fruits all year round, no matter men or women, young or old, their skin is delicate and smooth, and their appearance is quite good. If they were in other places, they would be graceful and charming, with a natural charm.

When Li Changxiao came to the vegetable market, he saw many strange fruits, which were once regarded as fairy fruits and divine fruits, and countless people fought for them. Now they are hidden in the market and have lost their magical features.

In addition to fruit pulp vendors, there are also meat vendors and vegetable vendors. Ximi is located in a remote area, but it is not completely independent. Li Changxiao looked around and saw many vendors from other places who wanted to exchange goods.

After a day of marching like this, Li Changxiao knew the general customs and folkways of the people. When he returned to Wang Qilang's Inn, it was already past noon and approaching dusk.

Wang Qilang found Li Changxiao and told him that Ximi Country was going to hold an exam recently. In previous years, the inn would be full of guests at this time. At that time, Li Changxiao would be needed to help in the evening, and the debt would be paid as wages.

Wang Qilang felt that although this white-clothed swordsman had a rich air, he was definitely not rich. It was impossible to expect him to hand over money, so it was better to find other compensation. Li Changxiao had no money-making plan for the time being, so he agreed.

A few days later, students came one after another, and Ximi Country became more lively. Li Changxiao rolled up his sleeves, worked as a clerk, worked as a shopkeeper, and worked again. This feng shui turned around, and it really turned around several times.

But thinking of Mei Sanniang, he felt relieved again. No matter how embarrassed he was, he was always more decent than the woman who wrote a contract to sell her body. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think more deeply. How did that bitch who owes debts everywhere and makes trouble everywhere get to the position of king? I am better off. I should get a small official position so that I can make some money, pay off all the money, and get the contract of selling my body.

Just thinking about it, guests have been checking in one after another. Wang Qilang took the lead and frantically solicited guests at the door. However, those who come to take the exam are full of sage books and have their own pride in their hearts.

If I think I am not short of money, I will definitely give priority to Long and Feng Inn. I think I don’t have much money left, so I will go to Wang Qilang’s inn. Even if I stay there, I feel ashamed. When meeting with friends, I dare not mention that I live in Wang Qilang’s inn, but just say that I live near Longlaiju inn.

Even so, after a few days, I have made a lot of money every day, which makes Wang Qilang smile from ear to ear. Another busy day. Li Changxiao climbed to the top of the tree roof, lay on a branch, and looked at the Ximi City.

As the saying goes, a tree grows when you plant a willow tree unintentionally. If Mei Sanniang knew that this inn is so popular now and can make a fortune every day, she would be jealous to death.

One day.

Wang Qilang took in a strange guest. Judging from the man's dress, he should be a student who is going to take an exam. But his clothes are tattered, obviously he has suffered an accident, but his clothes are not cheap, and he doesn't look short of money. He stood in the street, looked at Longlaiju, Fenglaiju, and Wang Qilang's inn, and fell into a dilemma.

Wang Qilang thought he was hesitant, so he pulled him hard and dragged him into the inn, shouting: "Lao Li, take the guest!"
