Chapter 221: The Love of My Life (1)
It is a very dilapidated and small mountain temple, it is estimated that there has been no incense for a long time, and now it is close to dark, the rain has not stopped, and there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger.
At this time, it was undoubtedly a good decision to settle in the mountain temple, and Xia Muqi walked into the mountain temple.
"Who?" said someone in the mountain temple, a young female voice, nervous and vigilant.
"Borrow land to hide from the rain. Xia Muqi said.
There was no sound inside.
Half of the temple had collapsed, and the place where Xia Muqi was standing was a little leaky, and the ground was wet, and he saw that there was a pile of haystacks a little further inside, so he went inside and sat down.
Judging by his stance, he is ready to spend the night here.
"Don't come here!" the woman inside immediately became nervous when she heard movement outside, "My brother is going to the city and will be back soon, you, don't want to do anything else." ”
"I just sheltered from the rain, and when the rain stopped, I left. Xia Muqi said, went to the haystack, closed his eyes and slept.
He was really tired, he almost fell asleep with his eyes closed, and soon there was a slight snoring sound, and the woman inside was relieved to hear the snoring outside, but there was still no movement.
Jiang Feng was curious and walked inside to take a look.
This mountain temple is not very big, and Xia Muqi and the woman inside are separated by less than two meters, if it weren't for the dim light in the mountain temple now that it's dark, Xia Muqi is estimated to be able to see her just now.
Maybe it shouldn't be said that a woman is just a young girl, the light is too dim Jiang Feng can't see her facial features clearly, she guesses that she should be quite delicate by feeling, lying in a haystack, covered with a thin quilt on her body, her face and hands are very clean, but there is a bad smell on her body. She had a water tank beside her, and a scoop at hand, very close, the kind that could reach out and scoop water.
The young girl didn't sleep, she looked outside in a daze, and she didn't know what she could see in such darkness, so she kept her eyes open, like a wooden man, blinking occasionally and keeping her eyes open until dawn.
Jiang Feng was also bored and looked at her in a daze until dawn.
The rain continued to fall intermittently at night, and when it dawned, it was still raining, and it was still dark because of the rain.
Shamuqi woke up.
Sensing that someone outside was awake, the young girl immediately became vigilant.
"It's dawn, you go quickly!" the young girl began to hurry, "my brother didn't come back last night because of the rain, and now he will be back soon at dawn." ”
"The rain hasn't stopped. Xia Muqi slept all night and was very energetic, got up and moved his muscles and bones, and when he turned around, he saw the girl inside.
"When the rain stops, I'll leave. Xia Muqi said, turning around.
As a result, as if God was deliberately going against the two, the rain kept pouring down and did not stop until noon. During this period, Xia Muqi stood up and shook a few times, and each time the girl inside was so nervous that she was afraid that he would plot something wrong, and her hand reached into the hay below and clung to something.
At noon, the girl inside was so hungry that she secretly took out a cake from the haystack, took one bite and put it back and chewed it slowly, and then put it back and chewed it slowly, as if she were a thief.
Then he was seen by Xia Muqi.
The girl inside suddenly became nervous, and she now felt that Xia Muli might not only plot against her, but also against the cake in her hand.
After eating half of the cake in two bites, the young girl said vaguely: "I only have this one, my brother will be back soon, don't come over!"
Xia Muqi smiled, he was not interested in snatching people's things, and was about to turn his head, but the girl inside compromised.
"Give you half of it, don't come here. The young girl threw the bread over.
The cakes sent to the door should not be in vain, and it is nothing to be bitten by someone, Xia Muqi had robbed the food with the dog before, and picked it up from the haystack and ate it in three bites and two bites.
Throwing cakes should be regarded as the biggest interaction between the two in the past half a day, Jiang Feng thought that they would say at least two words, but the two continued to be silent. Xia Muqi continued to wait for the rain to stop, and the young girl continued to stare at him nervously.
In the middle of the afternoon, when the rain finally stopped, Xia Muqi glanced back at the young girl, and left, and the young girl breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Feng followed behind Xia Muqi, followed him back to the big tree where he had buried things before, and watched him dig the pit, take out the baggage, and open it.
It is full of oceans and small yellow croaker, two burdens of ocean and small yellow croaker is definitely a huge amount of money, combined with the blood on Xia Muqi's body before, Jiang Feng has to wonder if he robbed and killed that big family.
Xia Muqi took a few oceans out and put them in his underwear, and buried the burden again, as before, there was no trace.
Shamuqi entered the city.
Just like filming a TV series, Jiang Feng follows Xia Muqi like a country boy who has never been in the city, and everything is fresh to watch.
Wooden houses, brick houses, dirt roads, bluestone pavements, pedestrians seem to be mixed with people of all eras, wearing long shirts, coats, short shirts, suits, skirts, cheongsam, perms, hair buns, all kinds of people.
Jiang Feng thought that this was a remote rural place before, but he didn't expect that when he entered the city, he found that the city was quite lively, not like an ordinary county town.
Xia Muqi walked into a hostel, and Jiang Feng saw many inns and hostels along the way, which was the largest one.
The tea servant (waiter) at the door saw Xia Muqi and said with disgust: "We are a hostel, go elsewhere to beg for food, don't dirty the door, otherwise I will be unkind to you!"
One mouth is Hunan dialect, and it seems that Xia Muqi is now in Hunan Province.
Xia Muqi's appearance is indeed no different from that of a begging person.
"Stay. Xia Muqi was not angry and walked into the store.
"The first-class room has three oceans, the second-class room has one ocean, the C room and the D room are full, no francs, no paper money, only the ocean, and if you don't have money, you can leave as soon as possible!"
The tea servant felt that their owner was simply unenlightened, and other hostels of such a large scale as theirs all learned from the Portuguese merchant to start a profitable business, opening a hotel on the first floor, picking up prostitutes on the second floor, and Fu Shou paste on the third floor. Even the tea servants of those hostels have made a lot of money, which is like their family, still the same as before, only doing some laundry, haircuts, sedan chairs, chartering cars, buying car and ferry tickets, operating Beijing-Guangzhou groceries, exchange offices and other unprofitable livelihoods.
Originally, he would introduce the girls brought by Chen's mother to the gentlemen who needed first-class rooms to earn some extra money, but now it's good, other hostels have put this business on the bright side, and he doesn't even have this last extra money.
"Stay in the second class room for two days. Xia Muqi took out three oceans from his underwear and put them on the table, "Buy me two new clothes, and then ask me if there is a ticket to Beiping." ”
"Okay, don't worry, there is nothing in this Star City that I can't do with Wen Er, I'll send you to the room to rest for a while, and I'll send you the clothes right away!" Wen Er suddenly smiled, this business done today can make a lot more money than in the past by matching those officials and masters, and it is really not a good look.
"Is there hot water?" asked Xia Muqi.
"Some of the second class rooms have hot water for you all day, if you need to say anything, I'll go get hot water for you later. By the way, you still have to register, and if it's not convenient, it doesn't matter if you don't. Wen Er said enthusiastically, "I don't know your surname?"
"Xia, you can remember it as you like. Xia Muqi said.
"Okay, if you want something to eat and don't want to go out, I'll buy it for you, and I'll make sure it's still hot when you arrive, and you don't have to run it yourself. Wen Er diligently sent Xia Muqi to the room, and quickly brought him a few buckets of hot water, even cold water.
Jiang Feng looked at the second-class room, he didn't know what the purchasing power of a piece of ocean was at this time, but it should be worth a lot of money, this second-class room should be regarded as a luxury suite of a star-rated hotel when it was in the Republic of China.
The area is not small, the bed nets and bedding and other facilities are all available, the decoration is good, the beds are very clean and tidy, the walls and other places are also clean, and there are tea and snacks on the table.
Wen Er brought hot water and Xia Muqi was about to take a bath, Jiang Feng went to the next room to take a look, but as soon as he saw the appearance of the next room through the wall, everyone was stupid.
He never thought that the hotel in the Republic of China could be so magnificently decorated.
The first-class cabin of Lord Huang that I saw on the ship before is nothing more than that, the decoration here is even more luxurious, porcelain vases, wind chimes, screens, curtains, every facility is exquisite and abnormal, and the area is much larger than Xia Muqi's second-class room.
No wonder a first-class room costs three oceans a night, and the presidential suite of a star-rated hotel is not comparable to this room.
Jiang Feng looked at all the facilities inside and outside the first-class room like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and sighed when he saw one.
It's really rich!
Really, it's so rich!
By the time Jiang Feng finished reading the fresh return to Xia Muqi's room, Wen'er's clothes had already been delivered, and Xia Muqi had also changed into her body.
It can only be said that Wen Er can still have some real skills as a tea servant in such a big hotel, the clothes he bought fit Xia Muqi's figure very well, the clothes are clean and new, and the cotton cloth is comfortable to wear and will not look very ostentatious.
Xia Muqi still has 4 oceans and some copper dollars on his body, he is not at ease in the hostel, he still carries it closely, drinks two sips of tea after washing, eats two small snacks and is ready to go out.
Wen Er was still at the door of the hostel, and now Xia Muqi came out and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Does Mr. Xia need anything?"
"I'm going out for a walk, when can I inquire about the ticket?" asked Xia Muqi.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to inquire about the ticket for you before tonight!" Wen Er said, "Our Star City is a thousand-year-old city, do you need me to find you a guide to accompany you for a walk?"
"No need. After Xia Muqi finished speaking, he went out.
Xia Muqi said to go out for a walk, he really went out for a walk, bought a few buns halfway, and stayed in the city all the time.
It wasn't until late in the evening that he returned to the hostel.
"Mr. Xia, I've inquired about it!" Wen Eryi greeted Xia Muqi as soon as he saw him, "This ticket to Beiping can't be bought, Beiping has fallen, so naturally I can't buy a ticket." If you really want to go to Beiping, you can only buy the provincial capital below, and then you will have to hire a car or take the waterway there. ”
"It's not that I'm talkative, the north side is fighting like that, everyone is running south, I advise you not to go there. Wen Erdao.
Xia Muqi took out two oceans and said, "You try to buy as much as you can, and you can buy whatever you can." ”
"Okay. Wen Er quickly took Dayang and put it in his pocket.
