Thyme looked at Ouyang Qingchen in a very good mood and said with a smile: "No problem, let's go, it's not too early." ”

After getting into the carriage, Xiahou Yuchen kept nagging and asking thyme about the patient just now.

Thyme also patiently explained to Xiahou Yuchen.

By the time the carriage arrived in town, it was already dark.

Fortunately, the city gate is not closed, this town is not very big, and they only found one inn after looking around, and there seems to be no other inn in this town.

Helplessly, Thyme had no choice but to live in the post house.

In fact, along the way, Thyme and several people were more reluctant to the post house. The reason is that the conditions of the post house are very poor, and the safety factor is not high.

Generally, only when encountering such a forced situation, several people will choose such an environment.

The layout of the inn and the inn is mostly the same, the upper and lower floors are generally the second floor, the lobby is a place for guests to eat, the first floor generally has guest rooms, but they are ordinary rooms, the second floor is a better room, there is a horse stall in the back hall, and there is a counter against the door of the inn.

Xiao Wu walked in and asked for three ordinary guest rooms, and then the group was not formal, they asked for a little wine and food, and after eating, they went upstairs to rest.

There are not many people living in the inn, and thyme is still very concerned about such a large group, and it is obvious that when he was eating just now, thyme received a lot of unkind eyes.

Xiahou Yuchen lived in a room with thyme, and he was very tired all the way, and the two of them lay on the bed after washing.

Recently, Xiahou Yuchen has been too clingy to thyme, and he wants to stay with thyme all day long.

In the middle of the night. Thyme was woken up by the wind, and Thyme found that the window that had been closed had been blown open, and it was pouring rain outside, accompanied by thunder in the middle.

In the second half of the night, thyme was really noisy and couldn't sleep, and it was muddy until dawn.

When they went downstairs to eat, Ouyang Qingchen and the others obviously felt that Thyme's spirit was not very good.

casually asked for a little food, and a few people ate thyme.

But the conversation at the next table attracted a few people.

"Did you hear that? Last night's heavy rain flooded the official road in front, and it seems that this time I can't walk for three or two days, so I can only stay in the town to rest and wait until the weather clears. ”

"yes, that's unlucky. There's not even a fun place to play in this place. It's really unlucky. ”

Thyme listened quietly to the conversation of several people.

Then asked Ouyang Qingchen: "What should we do?" ”

Ouyang Qingchen was much more cautious, comforted thyme, and then stood up and walked to the counter.

The shopkeeper was settling accounts with an abacus, and looked at Ouyang Qingchen coming over. Immediately changed to a smiling face: "What can help the guest officer?" ”

Ouyang Qingchen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does the shopkeeper know if the rain last night flooded the road ahead?" ”

The shopkeeper put down the ledger in his hand. "There is a stream not far from the city. But whenever it rains, it floods the stream, and last night it rained so hard that I think it should be flooded. If the guest officer is busy leaving, he can also go to see the situation there at any time, and he can go there when the river recedes. ”

Ouyang Qingchen thanked the shopkeeper and went back.

Sitting down, Ouyang Qingchen sighed helplessly and shook his head at thyme.

Hearing this decadent news, Thyme was also a little disappointed, after all, it was a very hard thing to not be able to leave, and the only consolation was that this post house was better than the post house I had encountered before.

Thyme's temperament is still very good, in line with the attitude of being at ease when he comes, he smiled and said to a few people: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, take advantage of this time, everyone has a good rest, and I want to go out for a walk while it is not raining, do you want to follow?" ”

Ouyang Qingchen was also more tired, shook his head, and in the end, only Xiao Wu, Ouyang Qingchen and Yunhe followed.

The streets of the town are paved with bluestone slabs, but because there are many people coming and going, and there are many people coming in from outside the city, there is a lot of mud on the ground, and Thyme is holding Xiahou Yuchen in her hand and walking slowly.

Yunhe looked around with some curiosity, he was in a hurry at the usual time, and he didn't have a chance to stop and walk around like he was now, so Yunhe was very curious about everything around him.

Xiahou Yuchen was also very happy, the town is not big, that is to say, it will be finished soon, when Thyme walked to the door of the only pawnshop in the town, Thyme suddenly saw a familiar back.

And standing outside and looking at the back, it was obvious that the back was arguing with the pawnshop.

That back is the old man I met yesterday.

Thyme didn't expect to meet the old man so fatefully today, thinking that the old man must be in trouble, and Thyme was idle again, so he walked in.

The old man changed into a clothes that looked relatively clean today, and the right thing was just clean, and the only good thing was that there were no patches on the clothes.

Where Thyme went, Xiahou Yuchen and they naturally walked too, and followed Thyme in, Thyme did not rush forward, but walked aside and looked at something else.

Of course, pawnshops are not only for pawn trading, but also for those things that are dead and need to be re-traded.

Pretending to look at something else, Thyme listened carefully to the conversation between the old man and the shopkeeper behind the counter.

"Shopkeeper, take a good look at this bracelet, how can this bracelet be worth only a hundred yuan, this is a genuine bracelet!"

The old man's voice was obviously a little anxious.

The shopkeeper in the back didn't even glance at the bracelet on the counter, but said directly: "You mean I lied to you." ”

The old man did not answer positively, but said: "This is a gift from a nobleman, I believe that the nobleman will not lie to me, since the shopkeeper only gives this money, I should not do it." ”

Thyme was relieved to hear the old man say this, but fortunately, the old man was not stupid.

The shopkeeper originally thought that the old man had never seen the world, and the old man was dressed up, so he wanted to buy this bracelet cheaply.

The pawnshop shopkeeper is naturally used to seeing good things, so he can see at a glance that this bracelet is a good product.

In this remote town, there are not many opportunities to meet such a bracelet.

How could the shopkeeper let the old man leave so easily.

Seeing that the old man was already wrapping the bracelet on the counter, the shopkeeper pretended to be calm and said: "I see that you are also in urgent need of money, I think this is good, you should die directly, I will give you a tael of silver, okay?" ”

At the beginning, Xiao Wu said that this silver should be at least three or four taels of silver, but the old man kept it in his heart, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, and directly wrapped the bracelet.

Seeing that the old man was still not moved, the shopkeeper immediately said: "Hey, the business is all negotiated, how much silver do you want?" ”

The old man also needed silver, so when the shopkeeper said this, the old man said: "At least four taels of silver, the noble man said, this bracelet is worth four taels of silver, and I should not be able to do it if it is less." ”

The old man thought that if he couldn't afford four taels of silver, it would be inappropriate, and when the time came, he would spend more time going to the big city, and he would be able to afford the price.

When the shopkeeper heard the old man say this, he immediately laughed.

"Four taels of silver, it's not that I speak badly, but this bracelet is worth so much silver, I think it's your noble man who deceived you. Slap a swollen face and become fat! ”

The shopkeeper's words were very unpleasant, and Thyme frowned.

But the old man's next reaction did not disappoint Thyme: "You are talking nonsense, the noble people will not lie to me, this bracelet is worth so much silver, it is worth so much, don't talk nonsense if you can't afford it." ”

Saying that, the old man turned around and was about to leave.

The old man accidentally saw the thyme standing by and watching him.

Suddenly, the old man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked in front of Thyme and arched his hand and said politely: "Why is the noble person here?" ”

Thyme looked at the old man with a smile, very satisfied with the old man's performance, at least this is not a white-eyed wolf.

"I'm passing through here, so come in and take a look, why are you here to be a bracelet?"

Thyme pretended not to hear what the shopkeeper had said to the old man just now.

Speaking of this, the old man was a little angry.

But he still said politely to the thyme: "Speaking of which, this matter is also a little angry, don't say it, why hasn't the benefactor left the town yet?" ”

The old man knew that Thyme and his group were going to hurry, and when they saw that they were staying in the town, they thought they had encountered some trouble.

Thyme said helplessly: "It rained heavily last night, I heard that the official road in front of me was flooded, and I can't leave the town for the time being, you give me this bracelet, and I'll help you." ”

The old man hurriedly took out the bracelet carefully from his arms, and then held it in both hands and handed it to the thyme.

Holding the bracelet, Thyme walked directly to the counter, put the bracelet on the counter, and Thyme said: "I'm afraid the shopkeeper was dazzled just now, help me take a look at this bracelet!" ”

The shopkeeper naturally heard the conversation between Thyme and the old man just now, and secretly thought that it was not good.

Now seeing Thyme holding the bracelet and selling it directly, I couldn't help laughing: "Madame is really sorry, I don't know that this bracelet belongs to Madame." ”

The shopkeeper has a good eye, and when he saw that thyme was worth more than a hundred taels of silver from head to toe, he also knew that thyme must be the wife of a rich and noble family, so he naturally didn't dare to offend.

Thyme understands the relationship of interests in the middle, and smiled slightly, Thyme pretended not to care and said: "I also know that the shopkeeper is for business, this is an understandable thing, and the shopkeeper will value this bracelet again!"

The shopkeeper picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully, this time there was no perfunctory meaning, but a very solemn look.

Thyme waited quietly, but the old man looked at Thyme with some concern, a little worried in his heart.

The shopkeeper put down the bracelet and did not directly say the price in his heart, but asked thyme: "What price does Madame think is more appropriate?" (To be continued......)
