Chapter 50: Bland
Under the blue sky, white clouds and majestic wind, Tian Zhongqiu finally arrived in the town before the sun set. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This is not the destination of Tanakami, the next town is the destination of Tanakami.
This place is much richer than the previous one, and there is a clear difference in both the house and the liveliness.
It is best not to walk at night, although Tian Zhongqiu wants to go to the bath in the town to take a hot bath, but the economic conditions really do not allow it, now it is better to find a place to sleep.
It's a street that is clearly a place for business, and although it can't be compared to the big cities, it's not an exaggeration to call it a commercial street, but it lacks the ubiquitous electronic devices that always give people a rural feel.
Tian Zhongqiu walked towards the commercial street, at this time the shops on both sides were open, selling clothes and food, and it was here that Tian Zhongqiu felt the modern atmosphere from the lights in those shops.
There are people who envy the big city life, but more people are people who are okay with their status quo and don't want anything to change, and in this world where people and ghosts coexist, being content with the status quo is not a thing to be ridiculed.
Tanakamido stopped for a moment when he passed by the bathhouse, but he still sighed and left, and after that, he didn't delay and came directly to a hotel.
The boss is settling accounts behind the counter, there are not many customers here, and there is only one hotel, compared to the rest of the shops, this kind of hotel for outsiders is not so busy.
"Boss, can I use this cart of sweet potatoes as my accommodation for tonight? It would be even better if there was something to eat. Tian Zhongqiu set up the car in front of the door, pointed to the sweet potatoes on the seat of the car and greeted the owner of the store.
The owner of the inn was settling accounts, and after hearing Tian Zhongqiu's words, he glanced over, and after seeing that it was a young man who didn't know a foreigner, he nodded and said, "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll calculate this page of accounts, otherwise it's easy to make mistakes." ā
"Okay, thank you, kind boss." Tian Zhongqiu also breathed a sigh of relief, it was the first time to do this kind of thing, and he didn't know what to do normally.
Although it was not directly exchanged for money, at least there was no need to squat on the street to sell these sweet potatoes, and Tian Zhongqiu felt that kind of thing was quite embarrassing for him.
The owner of the inn walked out of the counter after calculating the accounts in his hand because Tian Zhongqiu was waiting, looked at Tian Zhongqiu and said, "You can come with me with the cart." ā
"Okay."
Tian Zhongqiu pushed his bicycle and followed the boss around to the back door of the hotel, and entered the courtyard after the boss opened the courtyard door, which is generally not allowed to outsiders to enter.
"The sweet potatoes and the car are all here, you can find me at the counter of the store when you leave tomorrow, and I will take you over to pick up the car, no problem, right?" The innkeeper put aside Tian Zhongqiu's sweet potatoes, and now these things belong to the hotel, and Tian Zhongqiu's car is placed in the shed marked as [Traveler's], and now there are no other things in it except Tian Zhongqiu's bicycle, and it seems that there are no guests.
"No problem." Bicycles are not very valuable things, and Tanakata is also relieved.
The innkeeper also likes honest guests like Tian Zhongqiu, so he left the courtyard with Tanaka and entered the store from the main entrance, and said to Tian Zhongqiu: "There are not many people in the store now, dinner will be ready later, do you need anything else?" ā
"It's gone!" Tian Zhongqiu hurriedly said, and then added: "I'm going to the next town early tomorrow morning, and I'll leave after breakfast. ā
"What's next? Which town is it? The innkeeper felt that Tian Zhongqiu was an honest person, so he asked.
"It's a town to the north, and I'm going to visit a friend."
"Well, I also have something to inform my relatives there, can you send me a letter?" It's not a valuable thing.,It's just that I haven't contacted the recognition over there for a long time.,I want to get in touch.ć The innkeeper also saw that Tian Zhongqiu was an honest person before he had this idea, and he didn't let the other party do day work, "I'll take care of you two meals of broth, is it okay?" ā
Tian Zhongqiu felt that this could be agreed, but compared to the temptation of broth, Tian Zhongqiu was more willing to order something else, "I don't have high requirements for food, it's good to be full, so can you boil me some hot water, I want to take a bath." ā
"Of course, I'll call you when the water is ready." The innkeeper readily agreed, and this request could be easily done.
"Thank you then."
"Well, then I'll go out, and if there's something to do, just call me."
"Okay."
After all, I didn't pay for accommodation, and Tian Zhongqiu didn't ask for too many things, and after looking at the simple room layout, I also felt that it was okay.
There were no beds in the room, and there was very little furniture, except for a low table for eating, a few flower pots, some knick-knacks for decoration, a zigzag screen, and four freshly lit oil lamps.
Although there are few things, they are all clean, and the room is well organized, Tian Zhongqiu walked to the side of the cabinet and pushed the door open, where the futon was stored.
"Very clean futon." Tian Zhongqiu took out the bedding and spread it on the tatami mats, and he was already very tired from cycling, but Tian Zhongqiu still wanted to lie down on the soft quilt for a while.
After lying down, Tian Zhongqiu put one hand on his chest and also thought about Xiaoling's affairs.
The matter of finding a monster for revenge can be postponed, and after seeing the homeless monster, Tian Zhongqiu put the matter of Xiao Ling in the highest priority, not wanting Xiao Ling to become that kind of monster.
I didn't call Xiaoling out because Xiaoling was originally injured, and now Tian Zhongqiu's home is gone, and there is no energy supplement, and now Xiaoling is like a mobile phone, without the addition of a new power supply, the energy in it is used less once.
Tian Zhongqiu can clearly feel that humans are unfriendly to monsters, and this is the same for himself, so in order to protect Xiao Suzu, Tian Zhongqiu must find a suitable place to live as soon as possible and build his own home.
"Don't look for Natsume for revenge, although Natsume has combat power, but he's not the kind of person who likes to fight, and things with youkai are always troublesome, especially the kind of youkai that attack humans."
Tian Zhongqiu sighed, feeling that he was still not thoughtful, and it was better not to involve some people in some things.
"I'm going to see Natsume tomorrow and ask him to help me find a safe place to live, I don't want to get up every day and see youkai."
