Chapter 210 Deliberate Blackmail
Su Rou frowned, "What are they mumbling about?"
Gong Yu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry about it. Let's rest here for today and continue on our way after the sandstorm passes."
Su Rou said, "I thought we were almost there, but we ran into a sandstorm."
She turned and sat down on a stool nearby, crossing her legs, dissatisfaction written all over her face.
Gong Yu sat down beside her and said, "Going out in this weather is like seeking death. It's better to stay here and recuperate."
Su Rou responded sullenly. Although she took his words to heart, she was still unhappy.
Gong Yu took a small yellow croaker and asked the inn to prepare some food.
Su Rou has been eating steamed buns for several days, but now she can eat ten roast ducks!
The shop owner brought out one or two plates of peanuts.
Su Rou threw one into her mouth and chewed it. It tasted salty and fragrant. She hadn't had a good meal for a long time, and it tasted really good.
Even after Su Rou finished eating the peanuts, the restaurant still didn't bring any new dishes.
Su Rou asked, "Waiter, are our other dishes ready yet?"
Unexpectedly, the waiter looked at her and said with a smile, "You have already eaten everything. If you want to eat something else, you have to pay."
Su Rou stood up instantly. She saw clearly that Gong Yu had given her a small yellow croaker just now!
Su Rou cursed, "For this plate of peanuts, you gave us a small yellow croaker? Are people in the desert so shameless?"
As soon as she landed in Huayin, the desert people in the store quickly stood up.
"This is the desert! You little girl, you're calling us desert men and you want to die?"
Su Rou pursed her lips. She had just eaten too much at once and her mouth was very empty.
Gong Yu's men also stood up, giving Su Rou some encouragement.
Su Rou was already in a bad mood, and this completely pissed her off.
"Two plates of peanuts and a small yellow croaker! Why don't you go grab them?! What's wrong with scolding you? Isn't it true that you're shameless? What's wrong? You're quite self-aware and realize how shameless your behavior is."
These desert people were not carrying any weapons, but they were naturally tall and strong. Any one of them standing in front of her could be as strong as three Su Rous.
Gong Yu sat down in his seat without changing his expression. "Sit down."
Su Rou remained unmoved.
Gong Yu said again, "You sit down too."
Su Rou scratched her hair, which had not been washed for a few days, and became even more irritated.
"I want meat! Bring me the meat! Tell me the price in advance. If you dare to ask for more, I'll chop you up!"
Seeing that they had no intention of causing a conflict, the desert man sat back down.
They laughed at Su Rou, "That little girl from the Central Plains is really arrogant! Why don't you just yell a few nice words and we'll invite you to our table to enjoy the meal together?"
Gong Yu glared at them sideways, murderous intent in his eyes.
Seeing that Gong Yu didn't look like someone to be trifled with, those people from the desert stopped teasing Su Rou.
The shopkeeper said, "Half a roasted whole lamb and thirty small yellow croakers."
Having said that, the desert people in the store came over and paid the bill in a somewhat smug manner.
Su Rou saw that all they gave was a piece of silver, and then she looked at the leftovers on their table, which included roasted whole lamb and roasted fish!
Su Rou's breathing stagnated. She finally understood that they were deliberately trying to blackmail her.
Su Rou looked at Gong Yu's men and asked, "Who among you knows how to grill?"
"Miss, I know how to roast lamb and fish." Someone raised his hand silently.
The next second, a streak of blood sprayed on everyone's face.
Everyone was surprisingly calm, "..."
Gong Yu shook off the blood on his sleeves and looked indifferent.
Su Rou took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, then stood up and said, "Go grill it."
The people in the desert who bully the weak and fear the strong are a nuisance if they are kept around.
