After riding for an hour, Mu Sheng finally saw a town in front of him, and hurriedly dismounted and took the reins and followed everyone into the town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info in order not to attract attention Mu Sheng did not dare to pick the best inn, but found a home location is slightly remote, the medium-grade carriage shop stopped, if there is no halfway robbery, Mu Sheng will not stop in this town, how will he rush more, and strive to get home as soon as possible.
After the five-flowered horse was placed, Mu Sheng felt unwell, and his back became colder and colder, so he booked a single room in the carriage and horse shop in desperation, and shouted that Xiao Er had made hot water and planned to take a hot bath, and the clothes were torn and could not be worn, and he also called Xiao Er to help buy a few cotton robes and come back.
Perhaps because of more competition, the inn in this town is not much more expensive than the inn in the country, a single room is only five taels of silver, and the upper room is only twelve taels of silver, but the gums, braziers and other things in the room are much stronger than the country inn. This is also because of the rain and snow weather road slippery and difficult to walk, resulting in the inn temporarily adjusted the price, if it is usual, a single room will only cost three taels of silver.
After a while, Xiao Er poured hot water into the wooden barrel, and lit a brazier in the room, and the room was warm like spring for a while. After Xiao Er left, Mu Sheng took off his clothes, completely soaked his body in hot water, and soaked a stick of incense before he felt that the chill on his body had dispelled a lot, although the chill had faded, his whole body felt soft and weak. After soaking again, I felt that the water temperature was not too hot, and Mu Sheng was about to come out of the bucket, when he heard Xiao Er shouting outside the door: "Guest officer, the clothes you asked me to buy have been bought back for you, three cotton robes have a total of two taels of silver, even the five taels of silver you lived in before, one or two taels of silver for bathing and feeding the horses, and two taels of silver left." ”
"One tael of silver, you can help me arrange the meal from today to tomorrow morning, and the remaining one or two silver will be your hard-earned money. Please put the cotton robe on the table at the door for me. ”
The door squeaked, Xiao Er pushed the door in, and took a probe to take a peek before putting the cotton robe on the table.
"I'm afraid the guest officer's bath water is cold, why don't you add some more?" Xiao Er took two steps forward and asked.
"No thanks. You'll be able to come and clean up in a quarter of an hour. Mu Sheng said lightly.
Xiao Er exited the door, Mu Sheng also came out of the barrel, dried his body, and put on a newly bought cotton robe, the cotton robe has three colors, black, cyan and blue are very quiet, Mu Sheng specially asked Xiao Er to buy it to avoid swagger. The torn padded jacket was not thrown, but spread on the bed, and under it were pressed gold coupons and silver tickets. The soft sword Mu Sheng always carried it with him, even wrapping it around his wrist when he took a bath. The ghost eye Taoist said that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and the heart of guarding against people does not dare to be without it, Mu Sheng has always remembered this sentence, and even the ingot in the inn can be targeted by robbers, and Mu Sheng is more and more careful.
When Xiao Er came over to clean up the bath water, he brought lunch to Mu Sheng to the room by the way. Mu Sheng instructed Xiao Er to clean up the dishes again in the evening, closed the door and tried the food with a silver needle before eating.
After the hot meal, Mu Sheng felt much more comfortable, but he still felt that he had no strength in his body. After an afternoon of exercise, he sweated, Mu Sheng felt that his body was light and he had learned more, and the wind and cold were actually good.
Mu Sheng took the credit and saw that it was getting late, knowing that he would not be able to go out to buy bags today, and was about to open the door and go downstairs to eat, but he heard the shouting of selling cooking cakes on the street, and he couldn't help but be stupid for a while.
Mu Sheng recalled the time when he sold cooking cakes with his uncle, and suddenly felt very homesick, opened the door, and was about to go to the street to buy a few cooking cakes to use as dry food on the road, and suddenly remembered that he had no change on his body. The scattered silver had been thrown as stones by himself in the fight. At the moment, I only have ingots on my body, but it is not easy to use them to buy cooking cakes.
Mu Sheng took the ingots and instructed Xiao Er to exchange them for loose silver on the counter, put the money into his sleeve, and went to the street to buy cooking cakes by himself.
Early the next morning, Mu Sheng retired from the house and led the horses, bought a leather mattress to protect against the cold at the market, and bought a lot of food and sustenances, before he left the town with the flow of people.
"Big brother, your mule is so strong, can you carry a lot of things, right?" Mu Sheng asked a tall thin brother riding a cyan mule next to him on a five-flowered horse.
"Your horse is good, fat. The big brother on the mule returned with a smile.
"It's fast to run, but it's not good to carry things, and if there are too many things, you can't run, and your endurance may not be as good as your mule?" Mu Sheng frowned.
"Haha, that's right, it's really good that I'm not a mule and I don't blow endurance, and I have a lot of stuff to carry on my donkey. The eldest brother on the mule smirked.
"Big brother, why don't we exchange it, how about I exchange this five-flowered horse for your mule?" asked Mu Sheng.
"What do you mean, my mule isn't as valuable as your five-flowered horse?" the man asked warily.
"It's not practical, you see I brought so many things, this horse can't run fast if it doesn't move, I can't go home during the Spring Festival at this speed, so I want to change it with you for a mule, I don't think your things are as much as mine, I should have no problem with this five-flowered horse." What's more, my family is also rural, and this horse is not of much use, but it is not as affordable as a mule, and at home I can also pull a cart and plow the field. I think the eldest brother should always run on the road, the horse may be more suitable for you, and the mule is more suitable for me. Mu Sheng said sincerely
"Well, I won't make up the difference with you?" said the mule rider.
"That's natural, this itself is our voluntary exchange, and we won't let the eldest brother make up the difference. Mu Sheng said with a grin.
Mu Sheng and the man exchanged horses, Mu Sheng put his bag on the mule, and asked, "Where is the eldest brother, going? There are many robbers on the road at this time?"
The man said happily because of the change of five-flowered horse: "I'm not far away, the largest city in front of me is Shaoling City, which is about to celebrate the New Year, and it is the time when there are the most robbers." I entered Shaoling City and didn't plan to come out before the Spring Festival. ”
"Since there are so many robbers, isn't the eldest brother afraid?" Mu Shengqi said.
"Why aren't you afraid, but you also see that we are all poor people who are bitter and haha, and they all bring the same as you, nothing more than some local products, go back to exchange the difference, what money can you have?" The man said with a big grin: "This robber will not rob people like us if he wants to rob, and he can't rob any money, and it is easy to cause public anger." ”
