Qi Er was washing his feet when he saw You Er enter with a serious expression, "What's wrong?"
You Er shut the door behind him quietly and said, "I feel like there's something off with the inn's shopkeeper."
"Mother used to say that people whose eyes flicker when they talk aren't good people, and that's exactly how the shopkeeper was just now."
Qi Er was taken aback, "Really? I didn't notice that."
You Er continued, "The waiter from the inn just rode off on a mule."
"At this hour, in the dark, with the roads being hard to navigate, what urgent business could he have?"
"I just sense something's not right."
Qi Er dried his feet, "What should we do then?"
You Er thought for a moment, "This is all just my speculation; it doesn't necessarily mean they're bad people."
"In any case, let's all be careful tonight and not sleep too heavily."
