Chapter 5: Take a break

The simple and simple carriage drove at high speed on the official road under the scorching sun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe man driving in front of him was tall and muscular, with a hat that shaded the sun.

His back and shoulder sockets were already damp, and instead of counteracting the heat, the warm wind blowing in front of him made him sweat.

He had good eyesight, and when he squinted, he seemed to see a shady tea shed in front of him.

Not far from them, he mentally estimated the time, and then looked up at the sky. Asked aloud. "Childe, there's a tea shed in front of you, do you want to rest?"

The people inside were silent for a long time, but the man was not in a hurry.

After a long time, I heard the person inside respond softly, and the sound was like gurgling water, clear and beautiful. "Well, it's hot, take a break."

"Okay." The man whispered a whisper in response, slowly slowing down his horse's pace.

After only half a cup of tea, the carriage stopped only two paces from the tea shed, and the man jumped lightly from the carriage. "Here we are."

In response, he was greeted by a pair of skeletal white suppleness, but the calluses on his fingertips and palms ruined its beauty.

It's just disappointing that the owner of the hands has an expressionless face and a yellowish complexion, and his facial features are good under a closer look.

The figure is hidden in the loose clothes, and it is not clear to see.

And the two men dressed as small servants who came out later, the petite one hung his head low, as if he was very timid, while the other one was more indifferent.

A group of four people, all of whom are inconspicuous in appearance. Naturally, no one paid attention to it.

"Boss, here's a pot of tea." The man randomly found a place in the tea shed, and saw that there were only a few scattered guests in the tea shed, and the boss was the only one busy in the carport.

Taking advantage of the boss's tea, the man asked casually. "Boss, is business okay?"

The old man couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed. "In the past, the weather was hot, and there were many resting places, and my wife and I were too busy, but now."

His gaze circled around and whispered. "There are bandits in this area, and in the past, they only intercepted and intercepted businesses, but now they are indiscriminate, and killing people and borrowing goods has become a common thing."

"Murder and overkill?" The tall man took a sip of tea, and the hat had been taken off by him, and a pair of Danfeng eyes were extraordinary.

In this way, this table is the most beautiful. "If that's the case, why don't you report it?"

The old man glanced up and down at the tall man, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Guest officer, you are so tall and strong, naturally you are not afraid of those bandits. Suing officials can be useful, and the bandits have long been annihilated. Officers and men always say that they will go out to encircle and suppress, and they will not return home in defeat. ā€

"Those bandits are nowhere to be found, and the Xingyun Mountain where they are stationed is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the officers and soldiers do not go out on a large scale, they will definitely not be able to be annihilated together."

"If the thieves know who reported to the official, find that house, and destroy all the people, who can say anything?"

"The officers and soldiers can't take him at all, all these years, as long as they don't go too far, they will turn a blind eye."

"In addition, there is such a disaster in the Huaibei area, and the people above are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have time to care about the life and death of our ordinary people." The old man sighed,

"When the news first spread, although we were still far away from Xingcheng here, weren't people just fighting for this life? Nobody wants to get caught in that thing, they all want to be far away, and those who can move around with young people are all going to farther places to make a living. ā€

"If it weren't for the fact that a governor happened to come down from Kyoto, after hearing the news here, he immediately turned around and went back to Xingcheng and ordered him to close the city gates, so that the people who were infected with the epidemic would not go out of the city and make more people sick, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Listening to what the old man said so vividly, everyone in the tea shed moved their eyes here.

The tall man couldn't help asking. "Why is the boss so clear?"

"Snort."

Not far away sat a white-faced scholar dressed in coarse linen, and the sneer was made by him. Seeing that everyone moved their eyes to their bodies, the scholar slowly made up.

"This matter is Boss Shi's personal experience, and I heard that the governor drank tea here and learned from Boss Shi's mouth."

"Boss Shi has to talk about this almost once a day, and Xiaosheng's ears can already hear the cocoon."

Shi Laohan shook his head and smiled at the scholar in embarrassment, "You, you, if you don't dismantle my platform for a day, you will be restless for a day." ā€

"Boss, check out."

"Here we are." The old man answered, and sighed before leaving. "There are fewer people here, so we can only eat with a mouthful of food."

"Wait a minute." At this time, it was the man who had been drinking white water that stopped the old man. "Excuse me, are there a number of inns around here?"

The old man looked the man up and down, shook his head, and said. "Although there is no one in the city to go elsewhere with their bags, there are still many visitors, not to mention a good inn, even if it is almost afraid that there will be no vacant rooms."

He paused, obviously unsure, "But, a little further afield, there's a nice inn where you can try your luck." ā€

"Thank you very much." The man nodded, and watched the old man leave.

"Childe." This group of four people is the four people who came straight to Huaibei, and the tall one with a pair of Danfeng eyes is Hongyi.

He asked, lowering his voice. "Are we going to stay here today?"

Wuhua put down the tea cup in his hand and nodded slightly. "Let's take a look."

Yun Shu, who finally got up, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and placed it on the table.

When the old man came to clean up the table, he found the ingot of broken silver, and he couldn't help but look up in the direction where several people had left, and muttered something in his mouth. "I don't know where it came from."

As Shi Laohan said, there is a good inn not far away, a simple and simple two-story building.

It was a coincidence that they had arrived, and at this point there was only one upper class room left.

"It's Huaibei at this moment." Wuhua looked at Li Jia, who was pretending to be a little girl in front of him.

Li Jia understood what she meant and nodded. "Thank you Gongzi for your help, this kindness, Li Jia must keep it in mind, if you can come out of Xingcheng safely, you must repay it in the future."

Wuhua just shook her head and said in her puzzled gaze. "You don't have to talk about this, you just need to remember to come out with Brother Xiangsheng, and we will talk about it in the future."

Li Jia's eyes blinked twice, and nodded solemnly. "Definitely."

"Yes." Wuhua asked. "Have you figured out how to get into Xingcheng?"

Knowing that Wuhua would ask this question mostly because he wanted to help himself, Li Jia's lips opened slightly, but he didn't say anything for a while.

From the bottom of her heart, she really didn't want to owe Wuhua anything, although Wuhua was for Qin Xiangsheng's sake.

Wuhua just glanced at her and didn't say anything more. "Let's rest tonight, and hurry up tomorrow."

"What's going on outside?" Wuhua rubbed his slightly sour eyes and asked Yunshu on the side in a low voice.

Yunshu walked out of the room, and soon after that, he came in again and replied.

"It seems that there was a thief in the inn last night, and all the horses in the stable are gone, and the people below are making a fuss."

Wuhua's fingers paused slightly as he sorted out his clothes.

Yun Shu confirmed her guess and nodded in response. "Our carriage was also stolen."

Not long after she finished speaking, Hongyi came in with a dark face.

Seeing that Wuhua and Yunshu's eyes looked at each other, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he seemed to know where to speak.

Wuhua raised his palm to stop his words. "Needless to say, just go find another carriage."

Hongyi nodded, turned and went out.

Originally, it didn't take long to buy a horse, but for some reason, all the horses in the inn disappeared that night in this town, because of this accident, there was a shortage of horses, so they stayed in the inn for half a day.

Hongyi searched everywhere and could only find a carriage that looked good, but it looked much more delicate than the previous one.

Originally, the carriage looked inconspicuous on the outside, but it took a lot of thought inside, even if it was a long-distance run, it was very comfortable, and they walked for nearly a month, and Wuhua did not get tired in the slightest.

Just looking at Hongyi's self-reproachful appearance, it is impossible for Wuhua to blame him for this, after all, who would have expected that the thief would not steal anything else, but he has a soft spot for horses.

"Let's go." By the time we set off again, it was already early afternoon, and it was the time when the sun was at its hottest.

The carriage was not breathable, and the three people sitting in the carriage were not hot, and it was better to lift all the curtains, and there was no shade in front of the carriage.

Hongyi is equivalent to sitting in the sun, and the back is sweating early.

It's just that he drove the carriage without saying a word, so that the other people couldn't say anything.

When Wuhua blinked, he saw a shady place from the window and said in a deep voice. "Hongyi. Stop the car. ā€

"But." Hongyi glanced back at Wuhua and found that Wuhua was staring at his appearance without blinking, so he swallowed his words back.

"Take a break." As soon as the carriage stopped, Wuhua and the three of them immediately got off the carriage and sat under the shade of the tree, feeling comfortable.

Yunshu took out a piece from his arms and sent it to Wuhua. "Childe, wipe your sweat."

Wuhua took it, wiped it again, and returned it to Yunshu, who took it in his hand.

Li Jia looked around and asked Hongyi. "Do you hear the water?"

Hongyi was reminded by her like this, and nodded after listening attentively. "Indeed."

Hearing this, Yun Shu's eyes lit up slightly, and Li Jia nodded while looking at Wuhua, which meant that it couldn't be more obvious.

Wuhua naturally understood what they meant, nodded slightly, and instructed. "Hongyi, you can take them to find some water."

"Carriage." After yesterday's trip, Hongyi became extremely obsessed with the carriage, and he looked at the carriage.

"It's okay, I'll just stay and see. All you need to get back is some water. Wuhua shook his head, "Let me rest for a while." ā€

Hearing Wuhua say this, Hongyi hesitated for a moment, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to nod.

Relying on the shade of the trees, Wuhua was a little tired for a while. Feeling the unusually heavy eyelids, she closed her eyes lightly.

In a trance, Wuhua vaguely heard the sound of light footsteps coming from the direction where the carriage stopped.

Her eyes moved slightly, her eyes wandering in her sockets, and she finally managed to muster up her energy and look in that direction.

But he didn't notice anything, and the vigilant look on Wuhua's face immediately relaxed, as if he could no longer resist the call of the sleeping god, and closed his eyes.
