Chapter 14: The Inn
Four wheels are faster than two legs. If the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info by walking, with Gu Changsheng's perseverance in moving mountains, and then eliminating some small accidents along the way, such as encountering one or two jackals, tigers and leopards that eat people and do not spit out bones in the wilderness, and for example, if she encounters a few mountain bandits who loot property and kill people like hemp in the barren mountains and mountains, if she is lucky enough to leave a small life and go to Kunlun Mountain, it should be enough to spend a year and a half.
But because she took Xi Zixu's hitchhiker, they arrived at a small town not far from Kunlun Mountain more than two months later, when it was already dusk and it was getting dark, and they had to find a place to rest. And it was in the matter of finding an inn that they had trouble -
There are quite a lot of inns in this town, and the streets are side by side, large and small, luxurious and shabby, and there are all kinds of inns.
Xi Zixuan is already at the point of being nitpicky, no one can compare, naturally he is too broken, too broken, too old and too rotten, as for what degree can be considered dilapidated and broken, she thought, his definition and her definition are estimated to be completely different.
They arrived at the largest inn in town, and the first floor of the shop was full of young people of fifteen or sixteen years old, and among them there were people who could address older people by the name of uncle. The dress is all kinds of exotic from the East and the West, and the accents are also a mix of North and South characteristics, and the only thing they have in common is that they all hold weapons.
Xi Zixu opened his mouth to ask for an upper room, and the shopkeeper apologized and said that it was already full, so they asked them to find another place to stay. Xi Zi put two ingots on the counter, and wanted the shopkeeper to vacate the room for the silver.
The shopkeeper said kindly, "The small shop is also in business, don't you want to make money, you really can't make money." I advise the two of you not to delay with me, and go find another inn quickly, otherwise later, even if you are willing to find a firewood room to sleep in, you will not be able to find it. ”
"I thought it was you, but it was you." Gu Changsheng heard Qian Ruyue's voice, and turned around just in time to see her and her cousin walking to the store.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he immediately greeted him, nodded and asked the shopkeeper to move Qian Ruyue and their salute to the guest room. Xi Zixu frowned, "Didn't you say that the house was full." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the young man and explained, "This is our young owner. ”
Qian Ruyue only felt that she had finally gained the upper hand and regained face, and said with a smile, "This is the property of Sima Villa, and we will naturally have a vacant house when we come." If you really can't find a place, there should be a room behind you for miscellaneous items, so why not lend it to you for a night's sleep? ”
Xi Zi faked a few laughs, and his mouth was invincible with viciousness. "This is the property of the Sima family, you don't seem to have the surname Sima. I want to be your cousin's helper so soon, and you're thick-skinned. ”
Qian Ruyue blushed, and subconsciously glanced at the young man, and the young man said expressionlessly, "My cousin is arrogant and easy to offend people, she is indeed wrong, but it is really against the gentleman's demeanor for you to use a girl's reputation to ridicule like this." ”
Changsheng apologized and said, "My young master didn't mean it. In fact, she knew that Xi Zixu was deliberately sarcastic and sarcastic, did she count as lying when she said this?
Xi Zixu glared at Gu Changsheng, "Did I say I wanted you to apologize?" Now even if you ask me to stay, I don't want to stay. He lost his temper and left, Gu Changsheng pulled the slippery burden, walked a few steps, remembered that the ingots were still on the counter, and went back to get it.
Then they nodded their heads with the young man Qian Ruyue, and said hello before leaving, but unfortunately Qian Ruyue didn't look at her at all. She wondered in her heart that when she left the Yang family, they seemed to go ahead of her, and if they were on the same road, they should go ahead of them.
After the shopkeeper helped Qian Ruyue put away the baggage, they folded it to the carriage and began to move the rouge jewelry and clothes that Qian Ruyue bought along the way...... She thought that she understood why they were slow, she subconsciously touched the red rope in her hair, and then looked at the young girl on the street who was obviously dressed up and then went out.
There are some things that really don't make you envious, because you don't have this condition. She pursed her lips, and remembered the contentment that Yan Wuming had taught her.
smiled, and when his gaze moved to Xi Zixu, his eyes almost didn't fall off. There was a faint glow of fire under his sleeve.
No wonder he came out so simply, he didn't bother to make a fuss, but it wouldn't be so simple, so he simply took revenge afterwards and burned down the inn directly.
She went over and hugged Xi Zixu's arm, knowing righteousness. "Young master, there are a lot of people in it, and the houses on the street are all made of wood, and they are very close to each other."
Xi Zixu said, "What's the matter with me, let it go." ”
If he burned down this inn, the fire would soon be out of control like a fire burning the company camp, and he didn't know how many lives would be killed. Sima Villa may have a big family, not to mention for the time being, a piece of property that the owners of those small inns have worked so hard to put will also be burned.
She knows best how hard silver comes by. "Young master, you can forgive that Qian girl. What's more, you also said in public that she was so thick-skinned that she jumped to her feet, which can be regarded as flattening. ”
Xi Zixu said, "I said that she is thick-skinned, that's the truth. ”
Changsheng followed his words, just wanted him to dissipate his anger, lest so many people would suffer and suffer, "Yes, yes, Miss Qian, she is thick-skinned." It's just that as soon as these words came out, people inside and outside the store were looking at her, and the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she realized, "Is my volume a little louder?" ”
Qian Ruyue stood in front of the counter and glared at her with the eyes of a murderer of her father, obviously even she heard it. Gu Changsheng immediately shook his head and explained, "I didn't mean that Miss Qian was thick-skinned, no, I said that you were thick-skinned, but I meant to ......."
Xi Zixu laughed, pointed with his fingertips, the silk in his hand when the shopkeeper passed by Qian Ruyue's side suddenly caught fire, he panicked and instinctively let go, the satin touched Qian Ruyue's long sleeves with sparks, and her clothes burned.
The young man quickly picked up a bucket of water in front of the counter and poured it on the top of Qian Ruyue's head, extinguishing the fire. Qian Ruyue's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she smelled a foul smell emanating from her body, "What kind of water is this, why is it so stinky." ”
The shopkeeper replied, "Dirty water that mops the floor." ”
Qian Ruyue was crazy, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, turned around and went up the stairs and shouted, "Why don't you send water to bathe and change clothes for me!" ”
Xi Zi couldn't stop laughing. Gu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although I feel that the money girl was a little pitiful by Xi Zi, but a person who is unlucky is finally a merit to save people.
Xi Zixu looked down at her hand, "What are you still holding onto, why don't you go find the inn quickly." ”
A girl who was picking fruit on the side of the street rushed to them when she heard this, with bright eyes and a smile, "Do you want to stay in an inn, my family also runs an inn, not only the environment is good, the food is also cooked by a first-class cook, and the silver collected is the cheapest in the town." ”
Xi Zixu looked incredulous, "How can there be such a good thing in the world, the cheaper the thing, the more traps there are." ”
"Who said there is no cheap thing, my family's Yunlai Inn has it." The girl smiled very sincerely and kindly, and immediately won Gu Changsheng's favor. She pointed in a direction ahead, "Now, it's the one with the largest left turn at the fork in the intersection not far from here." ”
Gu Changsheng said strangely, "We came from that direction just now, we didn't see it." "But I saw a lot of old buildings, and according to the girl's description, the inn must be quite eye-catching.
The girl waved her hand and said with a smile, "It must be that you didn't see it, let me tell you that now the Yuxu Sect is recruiting apprentices, and many famous disciples are rushing to Kunlun Mountain to go up the mountain to apprentice." The inn wing in this town is a gunman, and there are only two left in my house, and they will be gone if they go late. ”
Changsheng couldn't be the master, so he asked, "Young master, do you want to go to this girl's inn to have a look?" ”
Xi Zixu said, "You have been with me for so long, why are you still used to talking without brains." This girl's words are tired when she hears them, she is a gunner in the wing, she should take the opportunity to increase the price, which will let you take advantage of it. ”
The girl said, "It's not right for Childe to say that, and there are honest and dishonest people in business." I happen to be such an honest businessman. What's more, you can be skeptical of other words, but I dare to say that except for my inn in the whole town, there may not be any rooms in the others, so you can immediately determine whether it is true or false. She churned her chin at the other inns.
A few outsiders like Gu Changsheng and them who were also carrying baggage entered the inn and came out again after a while. The girl pointed to the sky, "It's getting dark, I don't think you're going to sleep on the streets." ”
……
"It's really good that you got the name of this inn, Yunlai Inn, there is no figure in half of it, is it like a ghost." Xi Zixu sneered.
Gu Changsheng glanced at the interior decoration of the inn, in fact, the layout was quite elegant, but the tables, chairs and benches knew at a glance that they had not been replaced for some years. The wooden staircase connecting the first and second floors is dilapidated, and several of the steps are broken.
Xi Zixu smiled weirdly, "Didn't you say that there are only two empty rooms left, why do I think that all of them are empty here, and it is really difficult to find an inn as quiet as yours when the wing room is so gunmany." ”
The girl laughed, "They all happened to be out and will be back later." Why don't I show you your room first, and I'll like it. ”
Xi Zixu stood still, Gu Changsheng smirked, "Actually, the environment here is not bad, it's pretty good." ”
Xi Zixu clasped his hands, "Compared to the dilapidated temple you lived in before, it's really good." ”
Gu Changsheng was responsible for carrying the salute, her left shoulder was her own baggage, and the right shoulder and arm were hung with Xi Zixu's salute. She went to pour Xi Zixu a glass of water, but she had to ask him to extinguish everything before she could discuss, but she put the burden on the table, and with a "pop", the table fell apart in front of her eyes because of the old.
Xi Zixu raised his left eyebrow and said with a smile, "I never knew my burden was so heavy. ”
The girl hurriedly smiled and pressed the other tables to make her words sound more believable, "Only that table is broken, really, you see the others, even if you press a cow, it won't collapse." ”
Xi Zixu said, "Only Yicheng can believe your words, no, Yicheng has to be discounted." After he finished speaking, he went straight to the door and left. Gu Changsheng hurriedly picked up the burden and chased after him, but when he went to the door, he didn't know if it was heaven's will.
"Boom" is a downpour.
