When Ah Lai threw down the next sentence, his companion stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Hearing this, he was stunned, and only a few seconds late did he stomp his feet, and remounted his horse in a sullen state and chased after him.

In his heart, he slandered the person in front of him for all the good things he said, but he didn't know how to be flexible!

Everyone else is thinking about how to minimize responsibility!

How to get rid of the relationship with the steward!

Anyone who has a little brain, who will deliberately take responsibility for the disappearance of the master?

I can't figure out what the hell the guy in front of me thinks, that weird guy!

If you change to other guards, you will think about how to justify and excuse the steward when you encounter this matter.

There is absolutely nothing else to think of.

It's only the one in front, and I don't know how my head grows.

When I came out to do things with such a person on the stall, my companion secretly said that it was really the only one!

As soon as it got dark, a person walked out of the courtyard of this inn in Nanhua Town.

The young man still dressed in that garment was walking through the corridor.

After walking through the lobby, I went straight out through the door and into the street.

After a while, he got on a horse-drawn carriage that was passing by unoccupied.

He wore a hood, and the expression under the veil was not clear to passers-by.

As he walked through the lobby of the inn, the boy was extremely fast.

So fast that none of the guests sitting in the hall could even see the faces of the people who went out.

All the way out of the garden, the boy talked to the coachman and sat down.

The driver is a townsman who lives in the southeast of Nanhua Town, and he makes a living by driving a carriage in the town on weekdays. Generally, we do not accept remote customers, but only pick up nearby guests.

The farthest is to the village separated by a mountain in Nanhua Town.

This kind of opportunity is also rarely encountered.

On this day, the coachman happened to send a guest to a nearby village in the countryside. But I didn't expect to meet a guest in the car before I went home from work.

The coachman was worried about the food cooked by his old mother at home, and at first he planned to refuse.

The young man who came up was wealthy, and the price quoted was twice as much as that of others.

Simple, direct, came up and made an opening statement with money, and everyone was moved.

The coachman, of course, is not exempt from vulgarity.

Thereupon. The fragrant food was put aside for the time being, and he only said that he was lucky today.

You can meet a good deal at every time.

The carriage carried the boy and drove down a street north of the town.

Bumpy wheels. Inside the carriage, the young man reached out and lifted the curtains of the car.

He looked at the brightly lit streets outside and the pedestrians in the town, and for a moment his expression was complicated.

I always feel that there is a breath in my chest all the time. There's nowhere to vent and feel uncomfortable.

Just think of Xiaoling, that guy standing on the street in front of the inn. Even in the inn in a strange place, the young man was happy to talk and laugh, and the young man felt that it was unspeakably blocked.

How can it not be blocked?

This feeling can only be understood by those who are in it, it is like a fish in the throat, and it is extremely uncomfortable!

It's so uncomfortable that I want to beat the people around that guy away!

This familiar feeling has been experienced several times in Suzhou City, and again and again, it made waves in his heart.

When did it start, and I can't get rid of the feeling that I can't get rid of.

The cold wind slowly blew in from the window of the carriage, and the boy gradually soothed his mood as the wheels moved.

At least he didn't have the agitated and depressed feeling he had just seen from the inn.

The boy closed his eyes. Then he opened his eyes and looked up at the side of the street, the wind outside the car window blowing the veil on the hood he was wearing.

The boy looked at it for a moment. Then, calmly, he lowered the curtains of the car.

He doesn't like it very much, this is not what he should be.

From childhood to adulthood, countless trainings taught him to learn restraint.

The carriage went all the way, and the place where the boy wanted to go at this time was naturally the inn where he had stopped at the previous stop.

He still has some things to do, and by the way, he has to go to see if the two guards brought by him have rushed back to Suzhou City in time to report the news according to his orders.

"You see there's a fork in the road, how should we go?"

The driver asked in front.

The boy was just about to answer in a deep voice, when he suddenly remembered what he had to do tomorrow morning, and then he changed his mind and said to the coachman, "Let's go to the biggest pharmacy in town first." ”

The driver answered and turned around.

When an oncoming carriage passed by on the street, the driver turned left and headed north.

The route is to the largest pharmacy in Nanhua Town.

The carriage galloped through the city, fortunately familiar with the way.

The coachman walked many times on this road, asked the customer's destination, and he drove the car in silence!

When they reached the corner across the street from the pharmacy, the driver slowed down and stopped at a corner.

This is a temporary stay, in order to buy medicine.

The boy got out of the carriage and walked some way to the drugstore, where he stayed for about a quarter of an hour.

Only after being here in person can you know that the town is a small town, which is different from Suzhou after all.

Even at the biggest pharmacy in town, several of the things he wanted to buy were out of stock!

The guy in the pharmacy enthusiastically introduced him to several alternative medicinal herbs.

Listen, no one saw the helpless look on the young man's face under the hood.

After frowning and thinking about it, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and bought a few medicinal materials that could barely be replaced, and the effect had to be discounted.

With a bundled paper bag in his hand, he hurried back to the corner.

When he got into the car, the carriage started again, and this time in the direction of the inn where he had first arrived in Nanhua Town!

After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage headed north to the inn where the boy and his escort had stayed.

He got out of the car, and the driver stopped at the door, and when he saw that he was leaving, his tone was a little questioning: "How long do you have to go in?" ”

The money for this master's car has not been settled, and the driver is very worried.

The boy stopped. Turning to look at him, he almost forgot about it, there were always people around him in the past. There are very few things that need to be asked by him personally.

Of course, the boy had no intention of taking the overlord's car, so he immediately cleared the money for the ride and did not say much to the driver.

The coachman watched him disappear at the door of the inn, and said in his heart that he was really a strange person he met today, and the accent of the other party did not sound like a local from Nanhua Town.

It's not that the young man doesn't know the market here, so he will give so many fares.

Probably, yes!

Of course, the coachman did not know what the boy had come here for, and he waited at the door.

The experience just now gave him a little more to look forward to.

But as time passed. He didn't bump into the next guest who was going to the southeast of town.

In fact, if it were daytime, there might be guests here near the coachman's house in the southeast of town. For it was the gathering place where the caravans gathered together and went to the Northlands.

Right now, because it's getting dark, very few people are going to go there at this time.

The coachman waited a little longer, weighing the money given by the young man in his hand.

In his opinion, this day is a good one. He stood up at the door and sat in the driver's seat.

Turn the head of the car again. Passing through the crowd on the street, the driver's goal this time is to go home!

When the boy walked into the inn, the young man in the front yard immediately greeted him, and he recognized the one who entered the door at a glance.

I haven't seen the real face, but with the experience of doing things in the inn, I know that the young man in front of him has an extraordinary bearing, and the young man said in his heart that this person is either rich or expensive.

Plus the two who left earlier, according to them, they are still the young master's guards. The young man did not dare to snub the young man.

"Have you eaten?"

The young man's eyes rolled, and he was not in a hurry to say anything about the horse that had been left behind. First say a few words to the boy and ask about the situation.

The boy replied in a low voice, "No." ”

The young man hurriedly welcomed the person in.

The young man sat down in the lobby, his eyes swept around, and after a while, the young man from the inn went and returned.

He held a tray with two plates of stir-fry and a bowl of rice.

This was prepared for the previous guest, and it turned out that the person who met him made an appointment at another inn in order to discuss business.

The guests who had just gone out didn't care about eating, and the ready-made meal was brought over directly, all because the young man was worried that the master would lose his patience if he couldn't wait too long!

I don't know why, the young man looked at him and felt that it was not easy to get along.

In a place like an inn where people come and go, and fish and dragons are mixed for a long time, it is the norm to be as keen as a young man.

On weekdays, the teenager must have doubts, why is the speed so fast?

He didn't know that he was being served a dish prepared for a guest.

But right now, the young man is so worried that he really doesn't have so much thought about the origin of a meal!

The boy pondered what had happened in the day, but the young man's inquiry interrupted his thoughts.

He paused and felt hungry, as if he had not eaten much since he had been in the teahouse.

The boy smelled the heat of the food and silently held his chopsticks to eat.

The young man stood at the table and saw him eating quietly, and was stunned for a moment.

The gesture of stretching the chopsticks was very elegant, which once again verified his conjecture.

The young man quietly retreated, and after a short time a cup of hot soup came up and quietly placed it on the table in front of the young man.

The boy continued to eat in silence, his face expressionless, and there was no one in his eyes.

The young man stayed in the corner of the inn lobby and observed the boy's movements.

Seeing that he had almost eaten, the young man stepped forward and said to the young man in a flattering tone, "I have something to tell you, the two who were with you left the town first, and they have a message for me to bring to you." ”

The boy raised his head and glanced at him with a look of surprise in his eyes.

The young man hurriedly explained what had happened.

Especially when it came to the horse, the young man also made a point of emphasizing to the boy that the horse was properly kept in the backyard, and someone took care of it and fed it

When I walked out of my house and came to the wooden staircase, I met the young man who came up to me, and he looked at me and asked.

"You're here?"

I replied a little lazily.

After a while, he leaned close to him and whispered: "There is another thing, after the master Ding in the big kitchen goes back to rest tonight, you will inform me." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, then looked at me and asked, "Aren't you going to use the big kitchen soon?" "Why did it change to night?"

He looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Have you changed your mind?"

I didn't answer, because it seemed reasonable to not figure out what to say to him.

However, the young man thought about it, put away his puzzled expression, looked at me and asked with a smile: "Are you planning to let them digest the meal cooked by Master Ding, and then invite them to taste the craft in the middle of the night?" ”

His tone was joking with me.

But I still looked at him speechlessly and said the opposite: "Yes, when the time comes, you go knock on the door, and they will be happy to keep them!" ”

After glancing at each other, I said, "No, I'm going to make some dry food at night and take it with me on the road." ”

"Can't you buy the ready-made ones from the inn or the Zhenbei Market?"

The young man asked me.

"No, I like to eat my own hands, okay, I won't hide it from you, I bought medicinal herbs on the street when I came out."

I winked at him and said in a sincere tone: "Our family has a recipe for ancestors, and the ointment made is carried on the road to ward off the wind and cold. ”

"I didn't think I'd go to the Northlands, I had to be prepared."

I paused and continued: "You said that you borrowed the kitchen in the inn in broad daylight, let alone the shopkeeper, and you can't even pass Master Ding's level." ”

"As soon as the smell of medicine spreads, people smell a lot of disappointment."

The scene is drunk just thinking about it!

"I've thought about it, so it's best to wait until the kitchen is empty at night."

After exchanging glances, I told the young man the truth about my intention to boil the medicine, but I kept some of the reasons that were not convenient to say.

Hearing this, the young man suddenly said, "No wonder you also got up at night yesterday, didn't you think about borrowing the kitchen at that time?" ”

He's so fast! I didn't even mention it, and he remembered what happened last night!

"You guessed it," I laughed, "but unfortunately I didn't find the opportunity to borrow it tonight." ”

I whispered to the young man, "If you don't want to be seen by the shopkeeper at that time, you can make a round for me." ”

I'm not sure if the innkeeper will get up tonight to patrol the night, but he stayed up all night yesterday.

"Well, I have to be on duty at night, and I'll make a small stove for you when the time comes."

Listen to the reason clearly, this time, the young man said without thinking.

I shook my head: "Then what's so embarrassing, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

"It's okay, it's not the first time anyway."

After a pause, the young man added, "You can use the stove for making tea in our inn, you've seen it." ”

I thought about it for a moment, and remembered that I had indeed seen a stove like that in the corner of the inn by the account desk last night. "I'm going to watch in the inn at night anyway, I'm free!"

"That little stove should be able to boil medicine." He said to me, and I immediately nodded.

"I'll go find you a pot that you don't use often."

I raised my head to look at the young man, my eyes stopped on his face, and I said to him in a very calm tone: "No, I have a ready-made pot!" (To be continued.) )
