Chapter 121: Lie
The next town is more prosperous, and as soon as you enter, all kinds of hustle and bustle are endless. The coachman parked the carriage in front of an inn. Then he jumped out of the carriage, put his foot on the pedal and stretched out his hand to help the water slave out, but remembering that he had been rejected before, he retracted his hand a little uncomfortably.
The water slave suddenly put his hand on his retracted hand, and then got out of the carriage with his strength.
"Thank you. The water slave's voice was still as calm as before, "You go and park the carriage, I'll go and order some dishes first." ”
The soft and boneless silky touch seemed to remain on the back of his hand, and the coachman looked at his hand happily, and then put his burning eyes on the hanging hand of the water slave, with regret and aftertaste in his eyes, and nodded without hesitation: "Little lady, go, the slave will be back soon." ”
After the water slave finished speaking, he entered the inn by himself, gave a few simple instructions at the counter, and when the coachman left, he asked:
"Shopkeeper, I don't know how far this place is from Linchuan?"
"Linchuan?"
"Yes. The water slave thought for a while and added, "Er's family is from Xin'an to Linchuan. ”
"From Xin'an?" said the shopkeeper in surprise, "The little lady can go to this place to visit relatives?"
The water slave shook his head, "There are no relatives here, what does the shopkeeper mean?"
"You won't pass through this place when you go to Linchuan from Xin'an, isn't the little lady going the wrong way?"
Sure enough, as expected, the water slave sighed and replied, "Yes, thank you for the shopkeeper." ”
The driver of the fork in the road is really very familiar, but he chose it so without hesitation, I was afraid that he had already planned to make a detour to delay time.
"You're welcome!" said the shopkeeper, "although it is far away, the road to Linchuan here is smooth, and it can be reached in about seven or eight days." ”
The water slave nodded, then ordered some dishes and ate directly in the dining hall on the first floor, and after a while, the coachman came in with a baggage. Walked up to the water slave and handed it to her, then carefully stood aside and waited for the water slave's orders.
The water slave pointed to the adjacent table and said, "Your food is over there." ”
The coachman rubbed his hands and smiled honestly: "It's good for the slave to serve the little lady here." ”
When the water slave heard this, he didn't care about him anymore, as if he was ignoring a big living person standing beside him with burning eyes. Wait until you finish your meal. took out a towel and wiped the corners of his lips, then pulled down the hat that was halfway up to expose the corners of his lips, and then got up and picked up his burden and asked, "What does this mean?"
When the coachman saw her speak, he hurriedly withdrew the greedy gaze that had been staring at her lips, and said resignedly, "Slave thinks." Since the little lady decided to stay here for a few more days, it was naturally more convenient to keep the burden by her side. ”
The water slave didn't know when he understood the meaning, but he didn't say anything, and still said with a flat face: "That's fine, you can eat, the family goes upstairs to rest, and your room is just to ask the shopkeeper." ”
"Yes, yes. The coachman was worried that his bad attitude would make her angry, but at this time, seeing that she still had an indifferent tone, no different from before, he liked it a little more with gratitude. is even more obedient to her.
Early the next morning, except for the innkeeper and the runner, everyone else was still asleep. The water slave walked downstairs with apologies, and after saying a few words to the shopkeeper, he went out through the back door by the east kitchen, but after only a few steps, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from behind him, and after a while, the coachman stopped beside her with red eyes.
"Little lady, where are you going?"
The water slave sighed, and did not react to his sudden anger, but only motioned for him to look at his baggage, and said casually: "Naturally, it is to leave." ”
"Leave?" the coachman excitedly grabbed her arm. Gritted his teeth and said, "Where are you going, or are you in a hurry to Linchuan, aren't you?" If it weren't for the slave who didn't sleep all night staring at your door, I'm afraid you'd have secretly run away, right?"
His arm hurt when he pinched it. The water slave gritted his teeth and held back, his face was not exposed at all, he shook his head, and said indifferently: "No." ”
"No, then why are you here? Where are you going with your baggage?"
Shui Nu said: "I was going to go to the East Kitchen to prepare some dry food for the road before leaving, and I wanted to go to the next town with my baggage." ”
"Dry food. The coachman looked up suspiciously, and sure enough, he saw behind her was the chef of an inn. Thinking that he had misunderstood the water slave, he let go of his hand a little uncomfortably, and said in a daze, "But you didn't bring dry food." ”
The water slave still said indifferently: "Because the inn is not ready yet." ”
"Yes, no!" The coachman subconsciously answered, and suddenly reacted again, and his hands wanted to grab the water slave again, "Didn't you say before that you would stay here for a while longer, how can you suddenly regret it?"
Taking a step back to avoid his hand, a touch of disgust flashed in the water slave's eyes, and he still said calmly: "Because the shopkeeper said that the pastries in the next town are extremely delicious, and the family wants to try them." ”
"That's right!" said the coachman, who calmed down, took a step back, and said, "That's fine, the little lady doesn't intend to run away." You can rest assured, the slave will definitely be good to you, and whatever is delicious will be bought for you. ”
The water slave didn't hear it, but said, "You go and drive the carriage over, the family is waiting for you here!"
"Okay, okay. The coachman put away the ruthlessness in his eyes, and said honestly, "The little lady will come later, and the slave will come when she goes." ”
The water slave stood in place, looking at his back running away indifferently. The uneasiness in my heart is getting bigger and bigger, but I also understand that this uneasiness is not for myself. I just hope that Yin Nuan has nothing to do.
However, it was said that after Yin Nuan and others entered the Linchuan range, the terrain of Linchuan was flat and the road was open. In three or four days, you will be able to reach Linchuan City.
"Xie San. Yin Nuan instructed, "This place is close to Linchuan, and the servant is worried about his grandfather's situation, so he will send someone to visit him first." ”
"This ......"
"How?"
"No, it's nothing!" Xie San shook his head hurriedly, "The slave will order." ”
After that, the guards who were ordered to leave first.
At this time, when the time was about to pass, Xie Sanda immediately stepped forward and said, "Yin Langjun, there is a town not far ahead, can you go in and rest for one night before leaving?"
"Not necessarily. Yin Nuan returned to his heart like an arrow and said, "Let's go directly!"
"That being the case. Xie Sandao, "There are not many items needed in the car, the slave is quite familiar with this place, so he first detoured to that town to buy some items, Yin Langjun can rest assured, the slave will be able to catch up soon with a single ride, and will not delay the hour." ”
"It's fine. Yin Nuan nodded in agreement.
After that, when Xie San caught up with everyone, it was already around the clock, and everyone didn't know the distance of that town, so they didn't know if the time he spent was reasonable. It's just that when Xie San came to report, Sui Ying glanced at him with a complicated expression. (To be continued.) )
