When the two of them returned to the second floor to rest, the three people who were dining in the lobby also followed them upstairs.
Bei Yutang watched the three people from the corner of her eyes.
The three of them pushed open the two doors at the staircase and entered.
Bei Yutang retracted her gaze.
As the waiter walked to the end of the corridor, he pushed open the door and said with a smile: “Madam, this is your room. If you want hot water and tea, you can tell us. Our store has both.”
“Please bring some hot water and tea over.” Bei Yutang took out some copper coins from her sleeves and put them in the waiter’s hand.
The waiter took the silver and responded with a smile.
“Madam, please wait a moment. I will prepare it for you right away.”
“Okay.”
As soon as the waiter left, Xiao Zimo said to Bei Yutang: “Mom, do you want to take a bath?”
As soon as Bei Yutang saw his appearance, she knew that he was worried about money again.
With such a frugal child, it seemed that she, as a mother, was a bit extravagant in spending money.
“Not only do I want to wash, you have to too.”
The little guy immediately said, “Mom, I don’t need to.”
Bei Yutang looked at his serious look and couldn’t help pinching his pink face.
“Little fool, when conditions permit, you should keep yourself clean and fresh. If conditions do not allow, you can only make do. Now that you have the opportunity to take a bath, you should seize it. After passing this town, we will have to walk on mountain roads, and we will have to sleep in the open for a few days.”
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Zimo said, “Okay, I know.”
Soon, the waiter brought the wooden barrel into the room and served hot water.
For the whole night, the two of them slept soundly.
After a good night’s sleep, Bei Yutang and Xiao Zimo had a quick breakfast and asked the waiter to prepare a few steamed buns for them.
When they drove away, the three men dressed in martial arts style last night also followed them out of the inn.
Bei Yutang glanced at them, and one of them suddenly turned his head and met her gaze. The man’s eyes were fierce and he had a kind of hostility, which only appeared when he was stained with blood for many years.
It was not just him, but the two people with him also had that hostility.
Bei Yutang calmly withdrew her gaze and carried Xiao Zimo into the carriage.
Xiao Zimo sat in front of the carriage and said to Bei Yutang: “Mom, let’s go find a coachman.”
Bei Yutang looked at him and felt warm in her heart.
He was reluctant to spend a few cents on a bath, but he was willing to spend money to hire a coachman.
Bei Yutang didn’t want to hire someone so early, but seeing that Xiao Zimo was thinking about this matter, she smiled and said, “Okay.”
“Brother, is there any place here where I can hire a coachman?”
“Go out and go east. There is a market over there with many coachmen.”
“Thank you.”
After thanking him, Bei Yutang drove the carriage to the east.
That place is easy to find. When you get there, you can see many ox carts and horse carts parked there. This place is similar to a livestock market.
Bei Yutang strolled around and finally found a coachman who was willing to go far away.
Many coachmen drive carriages at close range, while they drive at long distances. Once they exceed that boundary, few people are willing to take this job.
The coachman was an old man over fifty years old, “Madam, we have agreed that I will return when we reach the boundary of Yunzhou City.”
“Yes.”
“Okay, I will take your job.”
