Chapter Sixty-Nine: Rare Things Are Expensive

After dark, in the inn of the small town. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-

In the distance, I don't know who is in the house, and occasionally a dog barks.

Looking up, the moat of the small town was about a few dozen meters north of the inn.

Mr. Bai stood by the window and looked out, and at some point it began to rain lightly in the sky.

"You get some rest early."

The junior of the troupe is quite discerning, and he knows that Mr. Bai's habits are different, and it seems that he shouldn't stay here to disturb people at such a moment.

~~~ The junior of the team withdrew from the door, took three steps and made two steps, and entered a small side room on the side of the north building.

In this way, he and Mr. Bai are separated by several rooms, but they are also on the same floor.

If there is something, it is convenient to spread the word.

did not disturb Mr. Bai and kept a suitable distance.

"I don't live far from you." He specially explained to Mr. Bai when he left, "It's in the middle of the corridor on the west side." ”

This arrangement must be satisfactory to the other party

In the restaurant facing the street, the running hall saw off the last two guests in the lobby.

He sent them out of the door very graciously, and after a casual glance, he ran to see that the two of them had actually gone into the alley.

Because it is the largest inn in the town, it gathers many guests from the north and south every day.

Ran Tang was slightly stunned, thinking that these two people didn't look like locals, and guessed that they were probably also going to stay!

On such a cold night, the cold wind blowing is a little unusual, as if something is brewing.

It's hard to explain for a while, but it will make a certain uneasiness in people's hearts creep up

Mr. Bai, who was in the inn room, hesitated for a moment. Soon he was relieved when he turned his gaze back to the booklet on the table.

He sat down under the lamp, flipped through the booklet and continued to look.

The front building of the inn is very lively, and it seems that another group of guests have come to check in!

The restaurant on the street is closed. The long streets of the small town are getting darker at night.

The shops along the street have dropped their doors one after another, and the deserted time of the day is just around the corner.

The running hall is busy closing the shop and checking the day's accounts.

In the small alley, it was the turn of the guests waiting outside the door to check in one after another.

Chen Yuqing walked out of the door of the restaurant calmly, and walked towards the quiet alley with the entourage who had spied on the news.

At this time, there were not many people left at the door of the inn.

If it weren't for the entourage, it would be a little hard to believe that business would have been like this in recent years.

They stood patiently under the shadow of the tree, and heard a few merchants waiting outside the door talking casually.

The business of this inn happened to be mentioned between the words. I heard that this scene is not very lively.

Some of them are frequent visitors, who travel throughout the year in Sealand, and they come and go a lot. I've seen a lot.

Chen Yuqing lowered his head and groaned, turned his gaze to the entourage who came with him in the pavilion and asked, "You have been to see it before, where did those two troupe members live after they arrived at the inn?" ”

He had only been allowed to follow him to take a look, but the attendant had returned late.

When he finished staring at the sentry and arrived at the restaurant. The two dishes on the back were cold. Chen Yuqing had to send the restaurant to the kitchen to do it again.

According to Chen Yuqing's judgment, he followed to see the other party's foothold.

For the people of the Jade Pavilion, it is not difficult to find a place to stay for guests.

The entourage did it so carefully, probably to make it easier for the master of his cabinet to do things after nightfall.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuqing stretched her eyebrows, raised her head to look at him, and smiled faintly.

Although the entourage that followed him was very quiet, sometimes he was not even interested in talking to him. However, this guy is quite reliable in getting things done

The inn building sounded from time to time, and there were people walking around the courtyard. But the north building was unusually quiet.

Mr. Bai chose the right place, and the lights were still on in the big room where he lived.

In the dim light, he continued to stare at the booklet in his hand, flipping through it with great interest.

There was a knock at the door, and it was the young man from the inn who had come to deliver tea.

He didn't expect that it was actually someone from the inn who came, and Mr. Bai was a little surprised.

After a few words of gossip, I realized that it was the innkeeper and the unwritten rules in their inn.

After the young man entered the door, he did not raise his head and carefully look at the person opposite him until he put down the tea as instructed, and said that no one who saw Mr. Bai would not show a surprised expression.

Because the guest in front of him is really beautiful, even if he looks at him in the dim light, his complexion is thin and white, and his eyebrows are delicate, which is a good look.

The young man suddenly remembered those people who had come to the city before, as if they were a troupe.

He remembered that there were several masters in it who also had similar temperaments, but they were still a little worse than the one in front of him, and the temperament of the person in front of him was obviously more gentle and beautiful.

The young man rarely gossiped about it, knowing that he was a guest to the Sea Country, but when he stayed in the town for one night, he frowned.

"Few of our ships here go to Haiguo, and most of them go back and forth in Sealand."

He exchanged a few words with Mr. Bai and withdrew, and the pot of warm tea rested on the table.

Mr. Bai took a few sips, it was quite authentic green tea.

In fact, whenever he goes out and walks around, he is used to the attention of people outside.

But occasionally there are times when I don't fit in, such as in a crowded place like the dock, so I thought of covering one or two.

Watching the young man close the door and the footsteps outside the door go away, he suddenly remembered the boy who asked him to do something.

I heard the master of the theater say that the man was in a hurry to go north, but he didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so he let him go by water and pretend to be back.

In this way, the man must have traveled farther by this time, and I heard that he had hurried to the north by overland.

His mind turned, and he quickly concentrated on flipping through the book on the table again.

With this thing, the subsequent itinerary is no longer boring. Mr. Bai can find fun and freedom in it

Coming back from the vicinity of the dock in the small town, the younger student of the troupe went to the house where Mr. Bai lived in the North Building.

Listen to the knock outside. The people in the house went over and opened the door, and saw the descendants of the troupe flash in.

"It's all arranged," he said in a gentle tone, "don't worry, there's something to talk about." “

He paused and said, "It was when I came back just now that the innkeeper came up and said a few words to me. ”

He hesitated for a few seconds and then continued to Mr. Bai: "The innkeeper said that there are many people living in the inn recently. “

He reminded us that we should watch our belongings a little. so as not to be stolen. ”

"I see, you can rest!"

The latter answered disapprovingly, not knowing if he had listened to the words

After some waiting. The two men in the shadow of the tree outside the door finally entered the inn.

Like all guests, they waited patiently when they came to check in, and they didn't rush when it was their turn.

Only when arranging the room, the entourage deliberately explained to the innkeeper that the room needed to be quieter.

Thereupon. The two of them were naturally arranged in the north building of the inn.

It is exactly where Mr. Bai is. The yard where it is!

One of them is upstairs and one is downstairs.

When Chen Yuqing walked to the North Park, she raised her eyes to look at the lights upstairs and couldn't help but smile: "This is easy to do." ”

He reached out and patted the guy next to him on the shoulder, so he didn't even have to walk a few extra steps to finish what he was going to do after checking in tonight

"Pavilion Master," the attendant glanced at him hesitantly, and Chen Yuqing immediately responded. "It's none of your business, I have some questions to ask that person carefully. You have a good night's rest. ”

The attendant raised his head and glanced at him quickly, then nodded and left.

Standing at the window, he could clearly hear the movement upstairs, Chen Yuqing walked to the table by the window and sat down unhurriedly.

Soon, the young man at the inn, as usual, brought the tea after the guests checked in.

The corners of his mouth tugged slightly, and he asked the young man in a somewhat casual tone, "Who lives upstairs?" ”

The young man was startled, looked at the guest in front of him under the lamplight, and his body shook.

The guest was still wearing a hat when he entered the hospital, and he did not see his true face at that time.

At this time, when I got to the lamp in the house, I found that I was beautiful after removing those cumbersomeness.

Two guests stayed in one night, and they were both in the north building of the inn, and the young man was a little surprised.

After calming down, he told the truth about the news from the previous gossip, and the guest was generous and gave a reward.

When the young man exited the door, his expression was a little joyful.

The people of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion have traced the origin of the gang of people in the troupe, and Chen Yuqing has already touched the bottom of the other party.

Since the young master hit the last incident, some news has been hidden from him, but he can't sit still, his heart is unstable, and this time he still tries to figure out the cause and effect.

There is also the battle in the Northland, and the people of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion must at least mobilize some of them to take care of it, otherwise how can he, the pavilion master, sleep in peace!

It's good to ask about the people in the troupe.

Chen Yuqing made up her mind at the moment.

It was night, and he felt that it was still early, and he could wait a little longer.

When the front yard of the inn is more subdued, it is not too late for him to act

The fragrance of tea lingered in the room, Chen Yuqing sighed, his eyes stared at the opposite wall, and after a while, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

The tea cup was poured with green tea produced in the south of Xilan, but what I didn't expect was that the quality was not bad.

Chen Yuqing's eyes narrowed, and she quickly finished the cup of tea.

Small details can often be seen in some clues, and from this cup of tea, at least we can see that the business of this inn in the small town is not bad.

The shopkeeper can let the guy serve such a good tea to the guests staying in the hotel, which means that he is not very bad for money

While the two people in the north building were doing their own thing, the innkeeper made all the way through the courtyard to the front yard.

The innkeeper was chatting with a few new guests.

After talking for a while, the men went to their respective rooms.

The young man walked up to the innkeeper and lowered his voice to talk about the guests who had stayed in the north building.

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, he opened an inn in a small city, and he saw a lot of guests from all walks of life.

However, the young man mentioned the corner of the troupe, he frowned and thought about it, but remembered a group of people who had come to the town for more than half a year.

A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he asked curiously, "There were too many people before, and I didn't see it clearly just now." ”

The young man whispered a few words to the innkeeper, and the latter's expression was a little uncomfortable, and after listening, he paused, and thought for a while before asking: "Since that person is in the troupe, how can he live alone in our place?" ”

The shopkeeper didn't figure it out at once.

Because all the people in the troupe set up the stage to sing operas, traveled from place to place, and every time a large group of people acted together.

It is indeed a rare thing for the person in the north building to leave alone like this.

"Asked," the young man looked at the innkeeper and replied clearly, "I heard that the troupe went to Haiguo first, and he had some things to delay in the southern city of Zealand." “

"This has just come to us, he is also in a hurry, he plans to take a boat to the sea country tomorrow."

After the young man finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of the north building, and then approached the shopkeeper and said, "The entourage brought may also be from the troupe." ”

"It must be," the innkeeper nodded subconsciously and continued, "I see." “

"Then you greet a little, if there is a need, what we can do, we might as well do it for him."

In this part of the town, most people like to listen to the opera, but unfortunately there are very few opera troupes here, sometimes there is no fresh one for more than half a year, and the shopkeeper's heart is quite rare.

I couldn't see the man's face clearly, and when he entered the door, he accidentally glanced at the figure, which should be excellent.

On weekdays, there are few comes, except for the lively time of the New Year's Festival, the troupe that comes to the small town to perform on stage, and the people in the city will rush to the city.

In the final analysis, there are still few domestic opera troupes in Sealand, and compared with neighboring countries, it is even more incomparable.

Scarcity is expensive.

I heard the guests from the south and the north mention that a while ago, there was an opera troupe that went to the Sealand Palace to sing by chance!

I heard that when I was setting up a stage on the road, I met a female official who came out to inspect the national capital, and I got a rare opportunity.

"There are less than six rooms in the north building tonight, and they are all people who like to be quiet."

When the shopkeeper said this, he paused slightly and said, "I said that I don't want to live in the front yard near the mouth of the alley." ”

"Actually, according to me, if you want to go out, the front yard is much more convenient!"

The young man muttered in a low voice, and the shopkeeper glanced at him.

"By the way, the guest who came later is also quite rare."

The young man had just spoken, and the shopkeeper immediately answered, "Are you talking about the man with the hat?" ”

"That's right, shopkeeper, I just went to deliver tea, that guest is so good-looking!"

The young man whispered, then he looked up at the shopkeeper and continued, "But in my opinion, there is something strange about that guest!"

The shopkeeper looked at him with some vigilance and asked, "What's strange?" (To be continued.) )(.)
