47: Spring sleep is not aware
"This dart master named Bai Sheng is full of foul language, which is really hateful!"
The phrase "killing two birds with one stone" faintly passed through the cracks in the board wall and entered the carriage. When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she couldn't help but blush. He gritted his teeth hatefully. Even though his clothes were ragged and his sideburns were messy, he looked embarrassed. But she is naturally beautiful, light and angry, and has another style.
The eldest lady of the Xiao family, who was kneeling beside Mrs. Xiao and taking care of her younger brother, did not get angry. She just glanced at her mother, and sighed faintly. A pair of water and autumn pupils are full of melancholy, and they are all so thick that they can't be dissolved.
But then, Miss Xiao's gaze became strong again. She looked up and looked deeply. Although they were separated by the walls of the carriage, in the depths of her eyes, there was still a tall figure.
With all her strength, Miss Xiao subconsciously clenched her fists, as if she had made up some kind of determination. As for what determination...... Then only she can know.

It's a town again, and it's an inn again.
The life of the prodigal son always seems to be inseparable from these two things.
Perhaps, this is only because the prodigal son has no home.
Cheng Li doesn't consider himself a prodigal son. At the very least, the problems that the prodigal son usually has, such as lust, such as drinking, such as enjoying solitude, such as often falling into some kind of inexplicable melancholy, such as being desperately nosy...... And so on, Cheng Li didn't have any.
But Cheng Li also has no home. Not only did he not have a home, but he even lost his hometown.
Isn't this the mood of being a stranger in a foreign land exactly the mood of the prodigal son?
However, there are also many similarities between Cheng Li and the prodigal son. At least, they never want to abuse themselves deliberately. Perhaps, this is because they have known for a long time that the only person in the world who can take care of themselves is themselves.
Therefore, if the conditions do not allow, Cheng Li will certainly not be picky and can endure a very harsh environment. But as long as the situation allows, Cheng Li usually tries his best to take care of himself comfortably.
Tongfu Inn, although the name is very vulgar. But it is, one of the best inns in Drum Town. Staying in its "day" name room for one night, the rent is no more and no less, just one or two silver.
It's really expensive. But as long as the guests who have stayed in the past admit that the two silver are well spent. After all, the rooms are spacious, the beds are big and comfortable, the sheets are guaranteed to be absolutely clean, and the pillows are soft goose feather pillows. As long as guests are in, there is always a good meal and plenty of hot water for bathing.
All of this was said by Bai Sheng. After driving the carriage to Dagu Town, he strongly recommended this Tongfu Inn to Cheng Li.
Since you go back to Mianzhou City from the Iron Horse Ranch, you need to walk for at least one day and one night. Since it was necessary to rest in the town of Dagu on the way, since everyone was already hungry and tired. Since Bai Sheng strongly recommends it, it is normal and ordinary for Cheng Li to choose to settle here at Tongfu Inn.
But in the eyes of the other guests in the inn, Cheng Li's line of work is not ordinary. After all, beauties like Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao are one in a thousand and you can't see them on weekdays. As for Cheng Li, even if he pulled down the hood of his cloak, he covered most of his face. But just a glimpse is enough to move.
So when they stepped over the threshold into the inn lobby, they caused a commotion. Suddenly, I was drinking, but I stopped drinking. He who is talking, stop talking. Dozens of eyes were all focused on Cheng Li and them.
Cheng Li glanced at these people, and his eyebrows were slightly unhappy. He pulled the hood down again, then backhanded, grabbed the "Echizen Captain Hikaru" sheath in his hand, and slammed it to the ground.
"Du~" sounded softly. Everyone in the lobby, including the shopkeeper Xiao Er, came back to their senses and retracted their gaze one by one.
Walking the rivers and lakes, we all know that there are four kinds of people who are the most difficult to mess with. Monks, beggars, women, children. Although there are no monks or beggars here, there are all women and children. plus Cheng Li's knife......
If Cheng Li openly showed off his gold and silver guns, perhaps no one in this small inn would be able to see how powerful they were. However, even if a treasure knife like "Echizen Nagashi Hikari" is still hidden in its sheath, the sharp evil aura is still impossible to completely conceal.
But not everyone has flinched. Contrary. There was a pair of eyes in the crowd, but because of Cheng Li's movements, they seemed to be doubly interested in him.
It's a pair of eyes as bright as stars. It's big, it's very divine. The eyelashes are long and the eyebrows are thick. Coupled with the gentle and uninhibited smile, and the fitting, decent, luxurious materials, exquisite handiwork clothes, and the jade pendant in the palm of the hand, the ivory fan of bone, all of these things combined, just the image of a worldly beautiful son.
Cheng Li gave Bai Sheng a few words. Then he found a table and sat down. Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao helped the young master of the Xiao family, who was pale and in a trance, and carefully sat down on the other side of the table. After the shopkeeper brought the tea, Miss Xiao first poured the teacup for her mother and younger brother, and then the third cup of tea was delivered to Cheng Li.
Cheng Li nodded and said "thank you" to her. Grab the teacup and drink. But the tea had just touched his lips, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable. Subconsciously looked back, and happened to see the beautiful son.
Looking at each other, the boy couldn't help but be stunned, and then elegantly raised his wine glass and saluted Cheng Li. smiled: "The tea is bland, and it's not interesting to drink." Brother Tai, how about I invite you to drink?"
Cheng Li retracted his gaze and ignored him at all. The boy touched a nail, but he was not annoyed. Just "smack~" and shook the folding fan in his hand. But I saw a bright peach blossom painted on it, and a small bird on the branch, as if it was crying with joy. The title is a lively five words: "Spring sleep is not aware".
The boy smiled again: "The Buddha said that only five hundred years of looking back can be exchanged for a passing shoulder in this life." Looking back a thousand times, you can get a fate to meet once in this life. Let's sit together today, this fate can be seen to be really not shallow. In the next seat of the spring. Please teach my brother Taigao's surname?"
Cheng Li frowned and began to feel bored. He looked back at the counter, raised his voice and asked, "Bai Sheng, are you okay?"
Bai Sheng was talking to the shopkeeper and asked him to take care of the two horses that were pulling. Hearing Cheng Li's call, he quickly stopped talking, trotted over with a smile, and said respectfully: "Son, the room has been opened." They are the fourth, fifth, and sixth rooms on the second floor. But the food and drinks will have to wait a little longer. Why don't you serve two cold dishes first and pad your stomach?"
Cheng Li stood up and said coldly: "There are too many people here, so I'm depressed." Let's go up to the room and eat. Without looking back, he walked through the lobby and up the stairs to the second floor.
Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao are not used to showing their heads. Seeing that Cheng Li left first, the two of them were also pardoned, and hurriedly helped the young master of the Xiao family upstairs. But he left that Xi Yinchun and Xi Gongzi aside, and no one cared about it at all.
Xi Yinchun was still not annoyed. I just picked up the glass and took two sips. The corners of his mouth pulled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
