Chapter 239: Someone Comes on a Snowy Day
On a cold day, snowflakes with the size of fingernails were densely wrapped in mid-air, and it was the brightest time of the morning, but the outside was gray, and only things within a zhang could be seen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was freezing outside, and the door of this inn, which was located in the west of Pingli City in the middle of Xiayang, was closed tightly, and a thick cotton curtain was hung, and even the gap in the window asked the shopkeeper to stuff cotton cloth to block the wind.
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands to settle the accounts, and scolded and said: "I don't know what's going on this year, this snow has not stopped for three days, and if it doesn't stop like this, everything planted in the field will be frozen to death!" ”
Scolding and scolding, thinking of the guest officer who lived in the upper room, the shopkeeper laughed again, "But thanks to this heavy snow, the road leading to Pingli City in front of it is blocked, otherwise these people will definitely not look down on my small shop, they will not live in the store for so long, and I will not make so much money." Well, what is the crop of a few acres of fields, as long as I serve these big people well, the money I earned this time is enough for me to buy another inn! When spring begins, I'll have to renovate all the inns......"
The guy hurriedly ran over and interrupted the shopkeeper's plan for the future: "Shopkeeper, the guest officer in the upper room wants to drink hot mutton soup at noon, and a few hot dishes, let's hurry up and get ready, they will come down in half an hour." ”
"Well, I'll tell the kitchen right away, and you can go upstairs and be on standby." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
At noon, the pedestrians stranded in the inn came downstairs one after another to eat, and the empty and cold lobby gradually warmed up with the sound of talking and the smell of food.
Lin Bining was wearing a white velvet fox fur cloak, pure white soft fur around her neck, her face was getting smaller and smaller, and she was holding a hand warmer with an ink-colored bamboo stove cover. Bai Yi, who was walking next to her, only wore a big hat with a white swastika embroidered edge, and the two of them stood together, one like in winter and the other like in autumn.
Two sons in fancy clothes, followed by a clever young man, two young men, and a big man who doesn't look easy to mess with, this combination is really a bit weird.
Everyone present was already surprised by their group, looked up and went on to eat.
The shopkeeper saw that they were busy welcoming people to the specially left position, and said with a smile: "Two sons, the meal you want is ready, it's hot, I'll let people serve it." ”
Bai Yi nodded, the shopkeeper beckoned the guy to serve the food, he smiled and said: "Childe, it's freezing this day, don't mention how comfortable it is to drink a glass of hot wine, the shop just has bamboo leaves that have been treasured for many years, do you want to give Childe a pot?" ”
The wind whipped the snowflakes on the window, whirring, and the sound of this movement made people shiver unconsciously.
The shopkeeper was a little cautious, Bai Yi saw it clearly, and said lightly: "Send it up, and the wine account will be settled together when the time comes." ”
"Great!" The shopkeeper smiled, and asked the guy to put the small stove neatly, warm the bamboo leaves, and set the wine utensils one by one.
Warm wine, Bai Yi poured himself a glass first, the warm and mellow bamboo leaves were green, the cold was forced out of the body, and the whole body was warm, drinking in winter is really a great joy in life.
He shook his wine glass, the heat swayed, and he looked at Lin Bining with a smile and said, "Ning'er, you are so afraid of the cold, do you want to drink a glass of wine to warm your stomach?" This wine is sweet and not spicy at all. ”
Lin Bining even if she wore a lot, holding the stove in her hand, her hands and feet were cold, she was a little tempted when she heard Bai Yi's proposal, but she was afraid of the amount of alcohol that was too shallow to be shallow, and nodded after a while: "A little bit is good." ”
Lin Bining was cute and cute when she was drunk, Bai Yi never forgot her drunken face, and poured a full cup with a bad heart. She muttered "so much", then lowered her head and took a shallow sip, sweet, with a little bitterness, mellow aroma, mild taste, and drank a few more sips, the stomach seemed to be roasted with a small fire, hot and baked, the warm feeling flowed along the meridians to the limbs, and the whole person had a comfortable feeling of being immersed in the hot spring water.
Bai Yi's half-squinted eyes were extremely bright, the corners of his mouth raised a beautiful arc, and he lowered his voice and said, "Ning'er, do you want to have another drink?" ”
She was stunned for a moment, bowed her head slightly, he immediately poured her a glass, she held the glass to her mouth and was about to drink, there was a sudden pain in her heart, as if someone was pinching her throat, she couldn't catch up, "snap" The wine glass fell on the table, the wine overflowed, and some dripped on her white fox cloak along the wood lines.
Bai Yi saw her clutching her chest and whispered, and hurriedly helped her with concern: "Ning'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
The feeling of suffocation came and went quickly, she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, suddenly palpitations, it's okay now." ”
Bai Yi asked a few more questions uneasily, and when he saw that she was really fine, he relieved himself and helped her wipe off the wine stains on her cloak, not daring to let her drink again.
"Bang Bang Bang-"
There was a hurried knock on the door outside.
For a few days, no guest came to the door, and he hurriedly asked the man to open the door, only to see a man in a black mask staggering in, the whole person was scarred, half of his clothes were stained dark red with blood, and there was a man on his back, half of his face was white and white, and his eyes were closed and motionless, like a dead man.
When everyone saw the appearance of the visitor, they were startled and moved away from the door.
The man's voice was hoarse and he said to the frightened man, "I want an upper room." ”
"Guest officer...... The guest ...... "The man can't say the whole thing, the person on this person's back seems to be dying at any time, if he dies in the inn, he will be unlucky, and it will affect the business."
The shopkeeper stepped forward with a smile and said embarrassedly: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, the shop is already full, there is a hut at the foot of the mountain in the east, which was used by hunters in the past, while the snow is smaller now, you can go there to settle it." ”
The man's mouth was tightly pursed, his eyes were gloomy staring at the shopkeeper, holding the hands of the person behind him into a fist, the shopkeeper was afraid of trouble and didn't want them to stay, he didn't care, but someone couldn't wait, just when he was about to threaten the shopkeeper with force, a clean and clear voice sounded.
"We still have a room, so we can make one."
The shopkeeper saw that it was Lin Bining who spoke, and he was angry that this little boy was kind indiscriminately, so he came to her side, and lowered his voice to persuade: "Little boy, this person is covered in blood, and the life and death of the person on his back are unknown, and he doesn't look like a good person, so the little boy must not leave them, so as not to attract the disaster of blood and light." ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Lin Bining smiled and thanked her, and when the shopkeeper saw that she persuaded her, she was about to grin, but she listened to her instructions to her entourage, "Shi Jian, Peng Yue, you go and help him carry people to the room." ”
