Ye Chen saw that the sky was already dark. According to the information he had gathered today, the gate of Chang 'an City would be closed in about an hour, and then it would be curfew time.
Since the war had just ended, Chang 'an City was not open to the public for entertainment at night. Moreover, it was a disaster year. Who would dare to seek pleasure under the nose of the Emperor?
Therefore, if Ye Chen still could not find a place to stay by then, he could only wander around Chang 'an City. If he was discovered by the soldiers, he would inevitably be sued.
Ye Chen was somewhat helpless about the current situation. Even if he had an immortal body, he could not escape from these worldly concerns.
After all, he was not the Monkey King. With that kind of ability, he should be able to conjure up a large pile of silver at will, let alone a place to stay. Why would he worry about not having a place to eat and sleep?
Thinking of the Monkey King, Ye Chen thought of the Wuzhi Mountain, which was hundreds of miles away. "Is that monkey waiting for the Tang Seng at the foot of the mountain now?" Ye Chen thought silently.
"Making a scene in heaven. How enviable." Ye Chen smiled. Thinking that he would soon become one of the four people on the journey to the west, he could not help but have a longing for the future.
Just as Ye Chen's thoughts drifted away, the door of a small bun shop beside him suddenly opened. Ye Chen was attracted by the sound of the door opening and could not help but look over.
The person who opened the door was a young woman who looked about 30 years old. She did not expect that there would be someone wandering on the street so late at night, so she was a little surprised when she saw Ye Chen.
"Little brother, it's so late. Why don't you go home? The curfew is coming soon. "The young woman kindly reminded Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "It's not that I don't want to go home. I'm homeless. Can you take me in for one night?"
The young woman carefully looked at Ye Chen and did not answer immediately. "Little brother, wait a moment. I'll go in and ask my husband. If he agrees, you can stay here for one night."
"Thank you." Ye Chen thanked her gratefully. The young woman didn't say anything. She just nodded and walked into the bun shop.
Ye Chen waited quietly outside the door, but the young woman didn't come out for a long time. Ye Chen sighed, knowing that she probably thought he was a bad person, so she didn't want to take him in.
"It seems that you didn't tell me directly because you were afraid of hurting my feelings," Ye Chen murmured softly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Take care, little brother." The young woman's voice sounded again. Ye Chen turned his head and saw that the young woman was holding a basin in her hand. "My husband has agreed for little brother to stay here for the night."
After saying that, the young woman poured the water in the basin on the side of the street. "I was helping my husband clean his body just now and neglected you. To express my apology, I'll treat you to dinner."
"No need, no need. I'm already very grateful that you're letting me stay the night. How can I have the nerve to eat another meal?" Ye Chen quickly waved his hand, but his stomach started growling at an inappropriate time.
Although the growling from Ye Chen's stomach wasn't loud, there was no one on the street and it was very quiet. The young woman still heard the "protest" from Ye Chen's stomach.
"Pfft." The young woman covered her mouth and laughed. "It's okay, little brother. Come in. I don't have anything good here, only the buns that weren't sold during the day. If no one eats them, these buns will be thrown away."
"Then … then this one will thank you in advance." Ye Chen clasped his hands and bowed, then followed the young woman through the door of the bun shop. After passing through a small courtyard, they entered the shop.
