Chapter 123: Lady boss?
The proprietress then stopped Zhang Xianxian's actions.
"Okay, it's just a few books. I declare that today is a holiday and I will go buy them for you right now." The proprietress said generously.
"Long live the boss lady!"
"Long live the boss lady!"
Two voices rang out in unison.
"That's not something you can say. Fortunately, we are deep in the mountains and forests." Although the proprietress was scolding, her face was still filled with smiles.
"Why can't I say it? Isn't it often mentioned in the storybooks?" Da Niu was a little confused.
"You can say it in books, but you can only say it in front of the emperor." The proprietress explained patiently.
"But boss lady, aren't you like the emperor in these deep mountains?" Da Niu continued to express his doubts.
"Okay, then an emperor would have three thousand beauties in his harem, but I only have two ugly guys like you. It's really too difficult. Otherwise, I'll choose Da Niu to sleep with me today!" The proprietress looked at Da Niu with ill intention.
Daniu crossed his arms and said, "Boss lady, this is not good. I will never say this again."
"Madam boss, you have been eyeing Daniu for a long time, right?" Zhang Xianxian enjoyed watching the fun.
"Tsk, you little brat, you're not even worthy of my attention. Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm going out. You two still don't want to go with me?" The proprietress asked, her hands on her waist.
Zhang Xianxian looked at the roof and said, "Daniu, I see there's a leak here. I'll get you a ladder so we can fix it."
"Okay sister, boss lady, remember to bring me lots of books!" said Da Niu happily.
Seeing that the two were unwilling to go, the proprietress had no choice but to drag her old waist to the market.
But it was already midnight and the proprietress still hadn't come back.
Zhang Xianxian was a little anxious, "Daniu, is there anything wrong with the boss lady?"
Daniu also found it a little strange. After all, this kind of thing had never happened before. The proprietress always came back after dinner.
"No...no...right!" Daniu spoke with some stammering.
"Could it be that those two men from last time are taking revenge on the boss lady? Did you defeat them last time? Will they cause trouble for us again?" Zhang Xianxian was really worried.
"They were beaten so hard that they couldn't speak. They didn't say, 'I will be back' like in the storybooks, or 'You kid, wait for me!' They didn't say any of these things!" Daniu fell into reminiscence.
Zhang Xianxian was also speechless for a while. "It's just a storybook. You're quite interesting."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground outside the door.
The two of them hurried over.
The proprietress, who usually dressed elegantly, looked disheveled, as if she had just returned from scavenging somewhere.
“Water…water…water…” The proprietress was very thirsty.
Zhang Xianxian and Daniu worked together to carry the proprietress back to the room and quickly poured her some water.
The proprietress finally came to her senses.
"Today I met those two people from last time. They attacked me from both sides. I had to disguise myself as a beggar and hide for a long time before I was able to come back." The proprietress took another big sip of water.
"Hurry up and get me some food. I'm starving after hiding for a whole day."
Daniu hurried to the kitchen to prepare food.
Zhang Xianxian stared at the proprietress in a daze, "You've worked so hard."
"It's not hard, not hard at all." The proprietress replied quickly.
"I'll go help Daniel."
"Go quickly!" The proprietress waved her hand.
Zhang Xianxian rushed to the kitchen, took out a packet of flour from her arms, poured it into the noodle bowl, and spread a layer of invisible liquid around the plate. After it dried, she let Daniu bring it over.
Although Daniu had a puzzled look on his face, when he saw his sister's serious expression and recalled that he had read so many face-changing books, he suddenly realized something.
The proprietress brought the food over and was about to pick up her chopsticks when she suddenly sniffed it and said, "What are you doing? Why are you putting drugs in the bowl? Are you committing adultery?" She was about to kill the two of them, but her body went limp.
When she woke up again, the mask on her face had fallen to the side.
She was tied up tightly and couldn't use any strength in her body.
"Tell me quickly, where is our boss lady?"
“Will you let me go if I tell you?” the woman laughed.
And she was the one who came to the upper room last time.
"Is our boss lady still alive?"
"Don't worry, she's still alive and well."
"How can we believe you?"
"I have a letter from her to you in my pocket."
Daniel was about to step forward.
Zhang Xianxian took a stick and knocked the woman unconscious, then asked Daniu to check the letter.
"Ajiu, Danniu, it's nice to see you in person.
Now that I have found my Mr. Right, I have decided to follow him everywhere.
Although I had some grievances with this woman, she was willing to take over the inn and gave me a generous reward.
I'm just worried about you two, and I don't know if you're smart enough to see through her tricks.
If you can't see through it, it's fine to just treat her as the boss's wife.
If you can see through it, then you can become the owner of this inn. After all, if I can do it, you can do it too."
After reading the letter, the two looked at each other.
"The boss lady is abandoning us now?" Da Niu couldn't believe it.
"It seems, it appears, it seems, that they have abandoned us?!" Zhang Xianxian felt that this seemed to be written by the boss, but also not quite. After all, who would be stupid enough to come here with such a letter?
Don't you even read what's in the letter?
Zhang Xianxian looked at the fainted woman and poured a basin of cold water on her.
The woman woke up slowly and started to roar, "Help me untie the rope quickly, this place is mine now, I am your current boss lady."
Zhang Xianxian held up the letter and showed it to her.
This roar was louder than the previous one.
"This damn Baili Laicai!"
After confirming through eye contact, I found that this woman is indeed not very smart.
Zhang Xianxian knocked her unconscious with another blow of the stick.
"Daniu, let's go find the boss lady!"
"Okay, it's obvious that this woman doesn't know how to buy us nice booklets. When are we leaving?" Da Niu's eyes were full of stars.
Zhang Xianxian searched every corner of the inn and took out all the private money of the proprietress. Then she searched the woman's body and found a lot of money.
"Let's go, Daniel."
"Then what should we do with her?" Daniu pointed at the woman who was still unconscious on the ground.
"Carry her back to the room!"
So the two embarked on a new journey.
Unfortunately, this road is too circuitous, especially in the dark. "Daniel, I don't think I can walk this way."
"You are truly a talent."
