The last rays of afterglow were still obscured by the mountain, and the burning red clouds still lingered in front of the mountain, refusing to leave for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info seems to be saying goodbye to the sunset, telling the scenery and reluctance along the way, and it seems to be making a final stay. The merciless wind blew, dragging that red cloud, tearing at it, flapping at it. Finally, it was torn into several pieces and dragged away from afar.

The wind is very ruthless, but what about people? Aren't people the most ruthless.

Five miles away from the inn stood an inn, the doors and windows of which were not yet locked, and the wind blew, stirring up the echo of the hollow, and the sound of the doors and windows slapping. A black crow was standing on top of a dead tree, looking at the red clouds shattered by the wind, and let out a wail. Suddenly, he flapped his wings and looked at the red clouds. The sound of wailing, lingering in the air, echoes, and lingers for a long time. With the sound of whirring wind and the sound of doors and windows knocking, it looks even more desolate...

The horse that Li Antong was riding stopped steadily at the door of the passenger station and flew down. Standing under that dead tree, he raised his head and looked at the plaque in front of the door "Tianxiangju". The lacquer on the plaque has almost completely fallen off, revealing a wood-colored underside, full of mottles and cracks, as if many years have passed. It has gone through countless storms and rains. On the seats in the room, there is a thick layer of soil, and the cups and chopsticks on the table are still neatly placed on it, only the cups and bowls of the two tables are not like this, for some reason, they were smashed and shattered, and pieces of fragments were scattered around the table. There is a large hole in the roof where you can see a little starlight. Through the starlight, looking at the dark corridor of the corridor, a trace of fear inexplicably appeared in my heart. The sound of the whirring wind swirling in the darkness sounded like the murmur of the demons of hell. Rao is Li Antong, and he is also a little uneasy in his heart. Many illusions flashed inexplicably in my mind, and the more depressed I was, the clearer I became. Li Antong didn't dare to stay here, even if there was no fear in his heart, but his mind at this time was already a little afraid. It is not the things that man fears, but the imagination of things, and it is not the things that he fears, but the thoughts, and only the thoughts are the most terrible.

Li Antong turned the horse's head and hurriedly added a whip, the healthy horse was in pain, and his hooves flew quickly, catching up with the carriage that was walking slowly not far ahead. Seeing Li Antong chasing after him, Du Rukang also added a whip and looked at the official inn and galloped.

A white lantern with the words "Official Office" in large ink. The light of the fire in the lampshade danced violently, faster and faster, almost igniting the lampshade, and the shadow of the lamp also danced, swaying and whirling with the night wind.

Kenma neighed softly and stopped steadily at the intersection of the four bright lights. The bright lights stretched the shadow of the horse long and swayed. The elongated shadow spreads into the darkness and disappears into the darkness.

Du Rukang jumped out of the carriage, jogged to the door, and gently knocked on the knocker. Li Antong had also jumped off the horse, standing beside the carriage, looking around with bright eyes like torches.

The sound of the golden ring knocking on the door echoed in the night wind, and it was a long time before an impatient voice was heard. The thick door creaked open a gap that only allowed half a person to enter and exit, poked out a round head, looked out, and happened to see Du Rukang's smiling face.

When Du Rukang saw this round face, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb a few officials for dinner, and I hope you don't blame it." Then he saluted, took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and put it into the hand of the round-faced yacha. The silver in his hand fell slightly, and he hurriedly put it in his arms, and a smile appeared on his round face, saying, "It's okay." Slanted his eyes and looked Du Rukang up and down for a long time, and said, "Do you want to stay here?"

"Exactly," Du Rukang nodded. Another salute said, "I hope the official can agree." ”

"Well, this..." The round-faced Yacha showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he didn't agree. Seeing his expression, Du Rukang took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it in the hands of the round-faced yacha. Seeing this ingot of silver, the round-faced yacha took the silver into his arms and said, "I can't be the master of this, you wait a minute, I'll report it." ”

"In this way, there is Master Lao. Du Rukang saluted again, and scolded the round-faced yacha fiercely in his heart: How can he be an official if he is so greedy. If all the officials in the world are like this, I am afraid that it is really the sorrow of the people and the suffering of the people.

Du Rukang stood by the door quietly waiting for his response, and through the crack in the door, he saw a brightly lit place, and under the lamplight, there was a figure pushing a cup and changing the lamp. Cheerful voices are clearly heard in the ears through the window paper. Before he arrived, Du Rukang had already seen the longing figure from a distance, but he didn't hear the human voice. Although I have heard the human voice at this moment, I feel that it is not as good as the feeling I felt when I didn't hear it. What is in the house can be called a human voice, it is simply the howl of an animal, and it must be the howl of the lowest animal. How can a man utter such filthy words?

After about half a mile, the round-faced yacha reflected a tall and thin man coming slowly. Along the way, the round-faced Ya couldn't help nodding his head and smiling obscenely. The tall and thin chaper, swaying from side to side, took three steps forward, one step backwards, about a hundred and ten meters away, and he walked like this for about a stick of incense, and then came to the door. Du Rukang could only look dryly, not daring to urge.

"Did you arrive? Why do you feel like you've gone so far, you kid can't be deliberately leading the wrong way. The tall and thin man asked with a burp. "Grandma, go back in a while, Lao Tzu will let those turtle grandchildren crawl back. Grandma's, who's at the door?"

"It's here," the round-faced yacha replied hurriedly with the help of the thin and tall yacha, and pulled the door out of the gap between the original half of the people with his other hand, and pointed at Du Rukang and said, "My lord, you see, it's them." ”

"Oh?" The tall and thin man squinted his drunken eyes, looked Du Rukang up and down, and suddenly burst into a sense of wine, and a strong wine burp, a strong smell of wine, rushed to his face. Du Rukang couldn't dodge, so he could only let the sour and bitter smell of wine hit his face and enter his stomach with his breath. As soon as the strange smell entered, Du Rukang's stomach began to squirm and contract slightly. If it weren't for Du Rukang's forcible patience, he was afraid that he would have run under the tree at this time and vomit out all the food in his stomach. Seeing Du Rukang's salute, the slender and tall yacha just raised his head, looked at Du Rukang's face, and took a closer look before saying, "You, you want to stay, yes, yes?" With a wine burp, he finally finished speaking. The round-faced yacha who was supporting him must not have been able to stand the strong strange smell, pinned his head to the side, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, his face was pale, and his right hand was vigorously supporting the body of the thin and tall yacha leaning over.

Fortunately, his body is not too heavy, otherwise at this time, he is afraid that he would have fallen heavily to the ground.

"We are passing merchants," Du Rukang said, "but there is no inn nearby, so we want to spend the night in your place." ”

"Huh..." The tall and thin man burped for a long time, his eyebrows showed a refreshing color, his pale face had a bloody color, his hazy drunken eyes opened, and he looked Du Rukang up and down carefully for a long time, and said, "What kind of business?"

"Resell grain," Du Rukang replied.

The tall and thin man snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "It's another group of profiteers." Then he looked at Li Antong and the carriage, and said, "Who is in the car?"

"It's our host. ”

"Come out and let me see," the man staggered as the carriage went. The round-faced yacha whispered, "Be careful, sir, I've heard of robbers in this area lately. A look of displeasure appeared on the tall and thin man's face, and he said sharply, "What is there to fear from a group of people who have no guts? ”

Li Antong had already heard the words of the tall and thin man, and looked at Du Rukang's eyes, and after a little thought in his heart, he opened the car door. At this time, Li Muqi and Luo Qiuhe were raising the curtain and walking out slowly. Standing in the car, looking at the tall and thin man, he bowed. Mu He also slowly poked his head out, smelled a strong smell of wine, and that strange smell, and hurriedly retracted his head again.

"Is that all there are?" exclaimed the tall and thin man, "are there any other people in the car?"

"No," Li Antong said, "only our young master, and his handmaiden." ”

"Then who is this old man?" the tall and thin man pointed to Luo Qiu Dao, "who is he?"

"He?" Li Antong looked in the direction pointed by the tall and thin man, and saw that he was referring to Luoqiu River, "Oh." This is the doctor invited by my young master, he has been in poor health recently and needs to be recuperated. ”

The thin and tall Yacha snorted coldly and said, "You rich and noble people are always prone to illness. I don't know how to be temperate, but I just blindly indulge in wine, can I not get sick?" The thin and tall man's hazy drunken eyes had already looked at Mu He, stretched his neck, and wanted to see her face again, he didn't want Mu He to get into the carriage, no longer probe, he was very disappointed in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, and when he heard Li Antong's words again, he thought obscenely in his heart for a while, and snorted coldly.

"What the adults said is," Li Muqi arched his hand and said, "I will definitely pay attention in the future." ”

"I'm here at the official inn, so it stands to reason that I can't stay with outsiders like you. The thin and tall Yacha squinted and glanced at Li Muqi again, and sighed in his heart: A good girl has been ruined by such a person, hey! It's a pity, it's a pity. After a pause, he said, "I can't bother with the rules." ”

"My lord," Du Rukang trotted over, bowed and said, "You think of a way." As he spoke, he took out a piece of gold from his bosom and stuffed it into the hand of the tall and thin man. When the thin and tall Yacha saw the ingot of gold, his heart was happy, but there was no trace of joy on his face. Du Rukang saw that the man slowly put the gold into his arms, and his heart was also happy. "It's not easy for us to go out. It was here that there was no inn to invest in. If it is late today, I am afraid that there is no inn to invest in, and I hope you can be accommodating. ”

"Hmm," the tall and thin man hesitated, "you can't go through the rules and violate the laws of the country." ”

"Rules are set by people, and since they are set by people, there are people who have feelings to speak of; It is inviolable, but the law of the land also has human feelings. Du Rukang slowed down and said, "This is a radius of fifty miles, I'm afraid there is no inn to invest in, do you want the old man and the woman to stay in the wilderness at night?"

"This..."

"Besides, this is your jurisdiction, and you are the law of the land. ”

"Well, how can you say that? The tall and thin man waved his hand and shook his head, but he was very happy in his heart. After pondering for a long time, Fang Dao said, "Even if this is the case, I have to deal with it with the right to deal with it." Then he turned around, looked at the round-faced yacha and said, "I have heard that robbers are infested recently, and there is no inn within a hundred miles, so I have the right to contain them and cast them here." However, you will need to pay for your own food and accommodation. ”

The crowd hurriedly replied yes. The thin and tall Yacha said again, "This was originally an official inn, and today you are allowed to stay here, but it is because of the robbers in this place, and I am not the only one who has the power." ”

The crowd replied yes again.
