Chapter 258: The Inn
At nightfall, the carriage came to an inn. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The Info Inn is located on the side of the road in the suburbs, and two lanterns are lit in front of the door, which glow fiery red on a cold night, illuminating the bricks on the floor in front of them.
The three of them jumped out of the carriage and looked up at the words on the plaque of the inn, only to see that it read "Zhiyuan Inn".
The general inns are "Yuelai", "Juxian", and "Zhaoxi...... Only the name of this inn is "Zhiyuan", perhaps because it is on the roadside in the suburbs, and most of the people come and go for pedestrians, and the word "Zhiyuan" seems to be very reasonable and appropriate.
Fu Bo was worried about the house, so after sending the three of them to the inn, he said goodbye and drove back in a carriage overnight. The two horses left behind, one white and one brown, one owned by Lin Xun and the other owned by Tang Guxi, these are still the two that were brought back from Sheng Ge. As for the brown horse in the forest, it is still in the house, waiting for her to return.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Fu, the three of them turned around, glanced at the inn again, and walked in.
The shop was brightly lit, but there was no one, only Xiao Er was wiping the table, and at this moment he heard the footsteps of someone coming in, so he turned around.
"Three guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?" Xiao Er hurriedly threw down the rag in his hand and asked with a smile while wiping his hands on his shirt. The three guest officers in front of him, two women and one man, looked at their appearance and appearance, and knew which rich boy and lady had come out to play. In this way, he doesn't need to ask, the hotel is for sure.
The inns in the wilderness are always closed late for the convenience of pedestrians. At this time, it was the beginning of the hour, and the three of them were already hungry after a day's journey, so they called for three bowls of noodles, and after sitting down, they began to look around the inn.
The shop is clean, the tables and chairs are neatly arranged, the staircase leading to the second floor is placed in the corner, and there is a lamp hanging on it for easy access. And the shopkeeper was not there, it was estimated that it was late at night, so he went to rest, leaving only a little two to clean and close the door.
After Lin Xun withdrew his gaze, he glanced at Xie Ling'er, today was the first day she came out with them, I don't know if she was still used to it.
Ling'er doesn't have any problems with traveling, but sitting in this quiet store at the moment, the wind is high and the moon is dark outside, and the lights are shining inside, I can't help but feel a little weird and nervous.
"Bell." Lin Xun called her softly.
When Ling'er heard the voice, she turned her head to look at Lin Xun, her eyes flickering and she didn't speak.
Lin Xun pondered for a moment, and seemed to be a little embarrassed, and only after a long time did he mutter: "Ling'er, what if...... If you want to go back, you can tell me directly, and tomorrow morning, we will send you back, you don't have to force it......"
When Xie Ling'er heard this, she was stunned at first, and then reacted, her expression couldn't help but change, and she whispered angrily: "Ling'er doesn't want to go back, and there is no one to go back to Xuanyang's house......" She lowered her head, "Brother Lin Xun...... Is it because the bell is dragging people down? β
"Where's the word!" Lin Xun said busily, his voice raised slightly, "It's good if you are willing, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid you'll regret it. β
Ling'er was silent for a moment, raised her head to look at Lin Xun, and a smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, "Brother Lin Xun, don't worry, Ling'er won't regret it, as long as you can follow Brother Lin Xun and Sister Guxi, Ling'er is willing to go wherever she goes!" β
Lin Xun looked at her and showed a wry smile, quite childlike innocence: "Really? β
"Really."
"That's good......" Lin Xun retracted his gaze and scratched his head.
Speaking of Tang Guxi, since the three of them sat down, they haven't listened to her. Ling'er and Lin Xun looked at her, but found that she was sitting blankly, with her elbows propped up on the table, her head bowed, her neck as if she was boneless, and her eyes were listlessly looking out of the door, not knowing what she was looking at.
Lin Xun and Xie Ling'er glanced at each other, their expressions a little worried.
"Sister Guxi?" Bell whispered.
Tang Guxi did not speak.
Ling'er glanced at Lin Xun again, her eyes hesitated slightly, and after turning to Tang Guxi again, her voice increased a little: "Sister Guxi." β
Tang Guxi seemed to wake up suddenly, withdrew his helpless gaze, paused on Ling'er's face, glanced at Lin Xun casually, and said blankly: "What's wrong?" β
Lin Xun closed his lips, took a deep breath, and locked his gaze on Tang Guxi's face: "Do you know where we are now?" β
"In ......" Tang Guxi was a little stunned, not understanding what he meant.
She thought for a moment, pointed to the door, and said seriously, "Isn't it at the Zhiyuan Inn?" β
"Hmm...... Seems to be quite sober! Lin Xun nodded quietly, with an exaggerated expression of great satisfaction, "At least I didn't say it--it's in the General's Mansion...... This kind of talk comes! β
When Ling'er heard this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her lips, but she didn't say anything.
Tang Guxi's face was stunned, he understood what he meant, his eyes were wrapped in a layer of sadness, he lowered his eyes, and he stopped talking.
At this kind of moment, Tang Guxi will not give up if he does not raise the bar with him until he swears to the death, and once the two stop bickering, the fun seems to be much less. This situation was unexpected by Lin Xun, so seeing that she was silent, he himself was helpless.
After all, Lin Xun is still one year younger than Tang Guxi, and when it comes to martial arts or miscellaneous matters, he has a lot of experience than her, but now in the face of this matter, he is helpless, knowing that he is not qualified to say anything.
There is no senior sister by his side, so he naturally feels empty, but no matter what, they are all going to Xizhou, and in the end, there is a mother and family waiting for him forever. Even if Lin Xun is alone, he is not alone.
Tang Guxi is different, she is far away from Sheng Ge's father, and Senior Brother Zhuma passed away a year ago, and they never saw each other again. And at this time, Su Chen appeared in front of her, and anyone would be comforted, let alone this eldest lady of the Tang family, who has never been short of people since she was a child?
For her, the road ahead is unknown, and everything that will happen in the future is unforeseeable.
The person who went to the battlefield was the biggest reliance in her heart, right?
Even though Tang Guxi knew that Lin Luo and Lin Xun were not kind to her, although there were stumbles and misunderstandings on the road, in the end, these two sisters and brothers did not treat themselves badly. If it weren't for Su Chen, she wouldn't be so sad now, if it weren't for Su Chen, all she relied on would be his sister and brother.
However, who made Su Chen appear......
"Three guest officers, the face is ready!" With a sound of footsteps, Xiao Er smiled and brought over a plate, took three bowls of steaming beef noodles from it in turn, and placed them in front of the three of them, "Guest officer, please use it slowly." With that, he left.
Ling'er glanced at Tang Guxi, picked up a pair of chopsticks and put them on her bowl, and said with a smile: "Sister Guxi, you're hungry, eat quickly!" β
Tang Guxi is not a person who does not know right and wrong, seeing Ling'er's smile at this moment, thinking of her young age, there is no one at home, and she is so sentimental when she is just separated from others, and she is ashamed. I always thought I was chic enough, but in the end I found that it was just a papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger, and it fell when the wind blew.
How can you let Ling'er look down on her?
She scolded herself, then took a deep breath, picked up her chopsticks and smiled at Ling'er, and nodded.
"It seems that we are the only ...... in this store" After retracting her heart, she observed the environment she was in, and turned her head to ask Lin Xun. (To be continued.) )
