The hostess in the car said: "That's a lie!" ”

She said with a straight face: "The monarch of Sealand is a strange woman, capable of literature and martial arts, and wisdom, how can she be as ...... as they spread it randomly."

"Oh," I replied noncommittally, thinking about the secret that the innkeeper had told me, and after much thought, I asked, "I have heard that the king of Sealand has a sister, do you know?" ”

As soon as the words came out, several people in the car looked at me with incredulous eyes, and for a while, it was the outgoing hostess who opened her mouth first, and other book friends were reading:.

"Doctor Lin, if it weren't for the fact that you don't even know some things that people in Sealand know, we think it's very strange, how would you know such gossip?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across my face, and then I said frankly: "On the way here, I once stayed at an inn, and the owner there was very well-informed. “

I said slowly, "He told me something about Sealand, and there were rumors about it. ”

"When I was talking to you just now, I suddenly thought of it, so I asked."

"If you also find it inconvenient to answer, or if there is any secret information that is not suitable for you to say, I understand."

I laughed and said, "I just asked casually." ”

"Doctor Lin, you have to remember, when you get to Sealand, it's best to ask less about this person." The man saw that my tone was calm, and the crampedness just now disappeared.

Several people exchanged glances, and the hostess continued: "Doctor Lin, it's right to listen to my family, in short, this is a matter that the monarch of Sealand does not want to be mentioned more, and it can be regarded as a matter of avoidance." ”

"I see you all say that, I think this person's thing is true."

I said with a clear expression: "It's true, after all, it's not a good thing, and it's common sense for the king of Sealand to say it." ”

"It's not as simple as you think," said the hostess, in a low voice, "not a good thing. Speaking of which, it's time to suppress it for the time being, but the time has not yet come. ”

"When the time comes, there will be a bloody battle." "We have relatives who are officials in the court...... So it will be a little more known than others. "Doctor Lin, trouble comes from the mouth, remember."

The hostess reminded me kindly, and I quickly nodded and stopped the topic at hand: "By the way, if you go to a small town on the border of Zealand now, I heard that it is not easy to stay." "Yes," said the hostess, whose eyes lingered on me for a moment, and a smile on her face when she saw that I was turning quickly. That's what you heard from the innkeeper of the inn where you stayed? “

I nodded a little shyly and said, "Yes, I'm in the inn and drinking with the boss, but he brewed his own good wine and drank too much." The conversation box was opened, and everything was discussed. “

The hostess shook her head and said, "Doctor Lin, when you go out alone, it's best to touch less alcohol, it's not a good thing, it's a mistake to drink." ”

As soon as the words fell, the man who was driving the car suddenly coughed a few times. The expression on his face was embarrassed, more awkward than the way I had just spoken.

I knew in my heart, and when I saw his appearance, I guessed that the man had something to do with him because he was drunk, so she emphasized it so much.

Although it is different from my situation, she has a point. I still nodded in agreement and accepted it humbly: "That's what you said." ”

As we talked, the speed of the carriage gradually began to pick up.

I looked at the trees beside the road, and the big trees were moving back quickly, and the car was bumpy and bumpy than before.

The man turned around and explained to us: "I see that the weather is unreliable, so I have to hurry up." In case of heavy rain on the way, I don't think I can find a place to hide in this area. ”

"Ah," I subconsciously replied, looking up at the bright space, and said in a puzzled tone, "Are you sure?" ”

"I look at the weather, but it doesn't look like I'm going to change my face, other book friends are watching:."

"When you can see, the rain is about to come down," the hostess laughed, "don't doubt it, my family is very good at watching in this regard." "Hey, people in the mountains have to look at the weather when they go out, and after a long time, they will practice, and there are few times when they make mistakes......

The hostess's tone was determined, and she saw that my body swayed forward and backward with the shaking of the car: "Doctor Lin, you hold tight, beware of knocking." “

Soon what they said was confirmed, and soon the sky changed, and a large dark cloud pressed down overhead, looking dark and dreary, as if a heavy rain was about to come.

The man said: "Alas, it's all because there were too many stops on the road before, so it seems that there is probably no way to get to the town before the rain." ”

He paused and said, "We still have to pay attention to the places we pass along the way, I seem to remember that there is a cave in the col that is not enough for the town in the last time I drove to see it. “

He looked down and thought for a while, "Hurry a little longer, and you'll almost be there." ”

"It's better for us to take a break, just wait for the rain to pass, and then continue on our way, than to drench the soup like a chicken without shelter on the way."

I chimed in: "Uncle, you're right, when you go out, you're most afraid of getting sick." ”

The hostess smiled and said: "Even Dr. Lin said so, you are in charge, just don't let my baby granddaughter get drenched in the rain." ”

As she spoke, the little one woke up, sleepy-eyed in her mother's arms

Fortunately, the man was familiar with the terrain of the road and had a good memory, so it didn't take long to find the cave before the heavy rain fell.

The group waited in the cave until the rain cleared and returned to the road.

Because of this heavy rain, the mountain road became muddy, so it affected the speed of the following.

For the sake of safety, the man didn't dare to drive so aggressively.

By the time we arrived in the town, it was later than expected, and it was already completely dark.

I declined to find an inn with them to stay in the building, and said a friendly goodbye at the entrance of the town.

Because I know very well in my heart that I can't even take out a tael of silver on my body now, how can I find a place to live?

The most important thing at the moment is to get some money.

I'm wandering alone in the town on a night after the rain, and at this time, most of the shops are closed, so no matter how much I have a plan, I have to wait for the night. We'll talk about it tomorrow at dawn.

Fortunately, in the humble baggage I carried, I also wrapped a few steamed buns given by the innkeeper, and I nibbled on the dry cold steamed buns and found a broken temple outside the town. Deal with it for the time being, stay for one night.

Wait for dawn and then plan well.

The ruined temple was very quiet, I found a pillar inside, and after eating the cold steamed buns, the empty furoshiki was spread out and spread on the ground as a mat.

I fell asleep very quickly, and since I was in exile, I found that I had become more and more adaptable, almost to the point where I was at peace with what came my way.

That's a good thing!

In the middle of the night, it began to rain lightly outside, and the sound of the rain mixed with the cool breeze blew in through the broken window. I flinched a few times and woke up, and other book friends were reading:.

Rubbing my eyes, it was still dark outside, I closed my eyes and was about to go back to sleep, when a familiar feeling came over me.

I sprang to my feet. Lie on the ground with your ears close to the ground and listen to the movement outside.

A voice came from afar, and my face changed

The movement came along the ruined temple where I was, and on the mountain road outside, at this hour, there were no carriages and horses, and the slightest movement could be heard clearly.

I looked left and right. Looking around, I found that there was no suitable place for me to hide, my eyes swept to a certain place, I breathed, and silently recited a few words in my heart, "Offended, sinned, sinned, sinned" and quickly went up. Hiding himself in the back.

The carriage came quickly, and the gate of the broken temple was kicked open, and the already broken door fell to the ground.

The dust on the beams fell in clusters, leaving a thin layer on me hiding behind the idol, with a musty smell that rushed to my nose. I almost didn't cough out, but I finally held my breath and held back, tears in my eyes.

I complained in my heart, who is here?

I quietly looked behind the statue, my eyes were slightly cold, it turned out that I had seen it, but the other party didn't know my existence.

The coachman of the wild mandarin duck approached the ruined temple, and in the most direct and rude way, I held my breath to observe his movements, but fortunately he did not stay long, and went around the idol and went to the back.

When I came to the ruined temple, I looked at it, and saw a deserted courtyard behind it, and the grass had grown half a man's height.

After a while, I intently heard the sound of water coming from the backyard, and I thought about it carefully, as if there was a well in the backyard.

The coachman soon came back from the backyard, went straight out of the gate, and when he came in again, he set up a makeshift stove in a corner of the hall.

I saw that he was boiling a kettle full of hot water, and after a while, the man went out again and disappeared.

This water is certainly not for his own use.

I shrank back from the beautiful face with tears in the corner of my eyes

When the carriage left, I saw that the sky was a little brighter outside, but I still had a question in my mind, I met the car on the road much earlier than I hitched, how could it be that the car I was riding in had already gone to the town, and they were lagging behind?

From beginning to end, I didn't see the carriage outside the temple gate stop in the middle of the night, so I didn't have a chance to find out - what happened to them, and the guide was delayed for so long?!

On a morning in the town, I washed my face by the river, straightened my clothes, and walked slowly through the streets of the town, sometimes glancing at the people around me, sometimes stopping at the shops along the street.

The town is quite popular, and the innkeeper is right, the streets here are the most likely to be filled with merchants.

The combined population of the town is not enough to accommodate the number of passers-by.

I saw pharmacies and a few ready-to-wear shops along the street, but I could only count the things on my body.

It's just that all of them are things that can easily reveal their whereabouts, whether they were given by Yun Chu or given to me by my senior brother.

I secretly decided that if I had the opportunity to redeem the silver of the Bamboo Hall in the future, I would definitely have to bring some gold leaves with me, for sure!

And now? It's not easy to find a job that earns money.

What to do?

For the first time, I'm worried about money!
