Chapter 377 - Chapter 377: Trapped
Chapter 377: Trapped
As expected, many guests outside were agitated.
“Come on, big guy. Instead of letting these people plunder our hard-earned money, why don’t we fight them? If we fight, we can still survive!” Someone shouted, then someone led the way and rushed towards the door of the inn.
Many people were invigorated and waited to rush out together.
However, to everyone’s surprise, as soon as they rushed out of the inn’s door, those people fell to the ground in unison.
Seeing this, the people who had just rushed over quickly ran back into the inn.
After what had happened, no one dared to act rashly anymore.
An officer who stood outside the inn sneered at the people inside.
“As you can see, if you want to leave, fine, as long as you can walk out yourself! My people definitely won’t stop you. It’s just that you’d better consider if you’re that capable!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this person’s words, she thought of something and asked, “If someone isn’t afraid of those things at the entrance of the inn, won’t they be able to leave directly?”
“Don’t be too naive. Even if they’re really unafraid, they’ll probably be caught not long after they walk out. Take a look. There’s actually an inescapable net outside the inn. Layer after layer of people are hiding in the dark. I can guarantee that as long as someone walks out, they’ll be caught before long!” Luo Cheng said firmly.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was shocked.
“In that case, those people are determined to get this suspect!”
“That’s right! Why else would I pull you back into the room and let you close the door and window?!” Luo Cheng explained.
As he spoke, there was another exclamation outside.
It turned out that some fearless person walked out of the inn.
Under everyone’s gazes, this person walked past the unconscious people and arrived in front of the soldiers.
“Will you let me go if I walk out?”
The leader glanced at the man, then gestured to his buddies behind him.
“Sure! Let him go!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers outside parted and the man walked straight out.
However, tragedy still happened in the end.
An arrow flew from somewhere and hit the man in the chest. In the end, the man fell to the ground and died.
This unexpected turn in events immediately made those who were eager to try stop.
“Look, we let him go, but he didn’t survive, so you can’t blame us!” The leader of the soldiers seemed to have expected this outcome and said calmly.
This time, no one in the inn dared to move.
At this moment, there was dead silence in the inn. One could even hear a drop of water dripping from the roof.
“Husband, you’re right! That person’s emotions disappeared immediatelym so he must be dead!” Li Xiaoran said in horror.
For some reason, the longer she stayed here, the more flustered Li Xiaoran felt, as if something bad was about to happen.
Luo Cheng also heard the commotion outside. At this moment, he was a little anxious.
With such a situation outside, there would probably be a tough battle soon.
If he was the suspect, what would he do?
Just like that, time passed little by little, but the situation still didn’t change.
Li Xiaoran was a little tired and leaned on Luo Cheng’s shoulder to sleep.
But no matter how tired or sleepy she was, she still had to eat.
In the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime.
In the past, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran would definitely have gone downstairs to eat.
However, after such a thing happened, no one was in the mood to eat.
Moreover, no one had gone out to buy ingredients since last night.
Therefore, the inn didn’t know what to do now.
“Shopkeeper, serve me some food! I’m hungry!” The woman in red, who was the first to challenge them, spoke again.
Because she was a martial artist, her voice was a little loud. Li Xiaoran, who was almost asleep, was also woken up.
When she was sleeping soundly, Li Xiaoran didn’t feel hungry.
Now that she had woken up, her stomach started growling.
“Sir, I’m sorry, but there’s no food in the inn anymore! Just this morning, when the inn was surrounded, the officials took all the food and ingredients in the inn. There’s not even any firewood left!” The owner of the inn was exasperated!
He was just a businessman who ran an inn, so why did he encounter such a disaster?
Not only could he no longer run his business, but even his food had been taken away by the soldiers. What should he do?!
When the others heard that there was no more food in the inn, their expressions changed.
When Luo Cheng heard the commotion below, he sighed.
“It seems that these people have made up their minds to trap us here! They won’t even give us food. They clearly want to force those suspects to appear on their own!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately smiled bitterly.
After transmigrating for so long, other than eating a little less than usual at the beginning, she had never starved.
She didn’t expect to have to experience hunger now.
Luo Cheng thought of something and took out a bag of meatloaf from one of his bags.
“There are still meatloaf here, so let’s eat some and save the rest for tonight! I reckon those trapped will definitely think of a way to leave tonight!”
When Li Xiaoran saw the meatloaf in Luo Cheng’s hand, her eyes widened.
“Husband, where did you get the meatloaf?”
“I bought it when I went to buy you breakfast this morning. At that time, I planned to keep it to eat along the way. Who knew that it would come in handy now?!” As Luo Cheng spoke, he took a meatloaf and put it in his mouth, then he brought over some water to drink.
After taking a sip and confirming that there was no problem, Luo Cheng poured a bowl of water for Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran was really hungry. The noodles she had in the morning were already digested.
As she ate the meatloaf in big mouthfuls, Li Xiaoran felt that it was delicious.
As Luo Cheng ate, he paid attention to the commotion outside through the window.
At this moment, many people were gathered in the lobby talking.
Because there was nothing to eat, not even firewood, everyone could only go to the well water to get water to drink..
