Chapter 201: Either a traitor or a thief
Even though they encountered occasional shortsighted bandits trying to rob them along the way, the people following the Baijiabao caravan were never worried.

At first, you may be nervous.

Later on, everyone seemed to get used to it, and if they didn't encounter bandits every three or four days, they would feel strange and mutter a few words.

Whenever there were bandits blocking the road and robbing, those who were quick to react would grab their weapons and rush forward with the people from Taohua Village.

Even though waving it a few times might not be of much help, it can at least help to increase the number of people and share some things.

Sometimes it was three or five taels of silver, sometimes it was a little grain.

People who react slowly cannot squeeze in and can only wait at the back until those in front finish before continuing on their way.

But the closer they got to Dongzhou, the more they could feel the chaos in Dongzhou.

After walking for another three or four days, we finally set foot on the territory of Dongzhou.

Feeling that the eyes of people here are different from those in other places, many people began to regret their decision.

I shouldn’t have followed you. Can they really survive in such a chaotic place?
But it was too late to turn around and leave, so they could only bite the bullet and follow the caravan closely.

Junji Town is located in the north of Dongzhou. The road conditions are poor and it will take several days to get there.

Although it is common to spend the night outdoors, people still prefer to stay in an inn if they come across one.

Apart from anything else, there is water in the inn, so there is no need to look for water sources everywhere.

Not to mention the people who followed us along the way, there were more than 200 people in Taohua Village, and there was no inn on the road where they could stay.

The weather was bad that evening, with cold winds and it looked like it was going to snow.

Just as everyone was chatting and hurrying on their way, they suddenly found an inn ahead.

Everyone was immediately delighted. Although the inn looked small, it was at least an inn with walls and a roof.

Bai Dashan hurried to Bai Tao's carriage, his tone unable to hide his excitement: "Auntie, I didn't expect there is an inn here. Why don't you stay in the inn tonight?"

Bai Tao looked out of the car window and through the window of the inn. There were no guests in the inn lobby.

When the waiter of the inn saw so many people passing by, he just poked his head out from inside to look at the caravan members and did not come out to greet or solicit customers.

"This inn can't accommodate so many people."

"I know." Bai Dashan: "Auntie, I have thought it through. I will arrange for some people to stay in the inn, and the others will find a sheltered place nearby to spend the night."

This inn is also strange. It is built at a fork in the road and there is no flat place to rest near the inn.

If you want to rest, you can either go forward or walk back two or three miles.

People who have walked here may not be willing to walk back two or three miles, so they either continue to move forward in the dark or stay here.

"If all else fails, we still have tents. If we set them up compactly, they can also protect us from wind and snow."

A pregnant woman had just given birth in the village a few days ago, and it would be very bad if it snowed at night, so Bai Tao nodded and reminded: "Tell everyone, be careful if you are unfamiliar with the place."

"Auntie, don't worry, everyone is awake and alert." Being careless will lead to great losses, so the people of Taohua Village will naturally not be careless.

As soon as Bai Tao got off the carriage, Bai Tiechui, who had already walked around the inn, came out carrying two hammers.

"Auntie, this is a shady shop." A shady shop? Bai Tao was stunned for a moment, feeling surprised but also expected.

Bai Dashan asked hurriedly: "How did you know?"

"I just went in to check. There were no guests in the inn, but the proprietress was yelling at the three waiters to clean up."

"The waiter must be quite skilled. His legs are very steady. Even when he was cleaning the spider webs on the roof, his breathing was not disordered at all. And I took a closer look and found that there were many cuts from swords on the tables and chairs in the inn..."

At this time, Bai Tiezhu also came out of the inn and said, "Auntie, I sneaked into the kitchen and took a look. It seemed that they were mixing bread and buns."

Then, Bai Tiezhu lowered his voice again and asked, "Auntie, do you think this is a human meat bun?"

Hmm, Bai Tao was stunned again. Why did these words sound familiar? Then she realized that she had told the villagers the story of "New Dragon Inn".

As for the human meat buns, she mentioned them when she was talking about Sun Erniang.

After telling the story about the human meat buns, the villagers' appetite obviously decreased when they saw the meat buns. I guess they were impressed.

Bai Tao now didn't know whether to say that she told the story well or that they had a good memory.

Bai Tiechui, who was holding two hammers nearby, interrupted and concluded, "My dear, this is undoubtedly a shady shop."

At this moment, a clear voice rang out: "Who do you say is the black shop?"

"Who are you calling a shady shop?" A woman in blue coarse cotton clothes stood under the eaves of the inn, with her hands on her hips, glaring and saying, "You are the shady shop, your whole family is a shady shop."

Bai Tiechui turned his head to look, not at all embarrassed about being caught saying bad things about others, he said confidently: "How come you are not a black shop, your shop is what our grandmother said..."

"Iron Hammer! What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Dashan interrupted immediately, and then said politely to the angry woman, "Madam, he has never seen the world, so don't bother with him."

"By the way, we want to stay in a hotel. How many rooms does the inn have?"

The woman snorted coldly: "Stay in the hotel? Ha, didn't you say that this is a shady hotel? How dare you stay here?"

Bai Tao shook her head helplessly and thought, as expected, as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

These two people are the same. They don't even know how to lower their voices when they say bad things about others.

"Then I didn't say, can I live here?" While speaking, Bai Tao walked out from the other side of the carriage with smiling eyes.

She was blocked by the carriage before, so Tao Jiaren only heard the voice but didn't see the person.

"No, uh... Oh my God, where did this little baby come from? Why is he so cute?" Tao Jiaren's subconscious rejection was thrown out of her mind after she saw Bai Tao.

Bai Tao was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and trousers made of large flowered cloth. Her round, fair face and delicate features, coupled with an extremely well-behaved smile, made her look even more adorable.

Tao Jiaren's eyes lit up immediately, and a bright smile appeared on her face, she was very happy: "Stay, stay, stay, of course you can stay, you are so cute, you can stay as long as you want."

Tao Jiaren's inconsistent behavior, especially her happy look after seeing Bai Tao, immediately made Bai Dashan and others who were standing at the door of the inn feel uneasy and they stared at her with extreme caution.

Could this person be trying to kidnap our aunt? !
At that moment, Bai Dashan secretly said in his heart that it was not necessary to stay in this inn.

"My lady, if someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!" These words were said by Bai Tiezhu.

Bai Tiechui also nodded in agreement: "Yes, auntie, anyone who smiles is not a good person."
