Chapter 484: Temporary Inn
The car stopped at the next inhabited place, and since someone wanted to rob them halfway, he simply went to a crowded place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info If you are a thief, you will be more or less weak-hearted, or you will unite with others, otherwise there will be brave men under the heavy reward.
The price is really cheap, although the shop is only one copper coin for two nights, and the room is also one or two copper coins a night, but Rudolph still chose the stable without money, and one copper coin as the forage fee for three horses.
After paying a copper coin for forage, the shopkeeper parked Rudolph's car in the innermost part of the stable. It didn't taste very good, but it was the warmest in the stables where you couldn't make a fire.
Cheng Qianxun hid in the haystack on the car, let the straw cover all his body, and only showed his two eyes to look out, while Rudolph went to get something to eat and came back. Looking at the money box wrapped in rags, with straw on it, it suddenly looked broken. Therefore, although from time to time there were people or men in the stables who led the horses in and tied them, they did not look at the inconspicuous carriage in the innermost part at all.
Rudolph returned, and when he spread out a piece of oiled paper, Cheng Qianxun got out of the haystack and cracked his mouth and smiled.
It was a pig's blood sausage, Rudolph took out the dagger in his pocket and cut it: "It just so happened that the town killed a pig, and this thing is not expensive, so I bought some." ”
Wealth cannot be exposed, if Rudolph casually buys half a pig, or even a whole pig, it can attract attention for a while, but it will also expose himself.
The cut pieces were placed in front of her, and she quickly took them in her mouth, and when there was no one outside, she hurriedly burrowed into the haystack again.
Rudolph held back the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, put a slice in his mouth, and continued to cut. cut it out, stuffed her with one or two slices from time to time, and the two of them ate like this.
At night, Cheng Qianxun changed into a human form again. Rudolph told her to put on her cape, put on her cape and hat, and led her into the inn.
When I entered the store, it was a very ordinary wooden house, with only one floor. To enter, you have to go through the main entrance, where there are several tables for guests to drink, eat, and gamble. There were some peddlers and pawns sitting around chatting, drinking inferior wine and beer.
Rudolph took her to the side, and a middle-aged man who was selling wine in front of the barrel looked very helpless: "This is a relative of mine, I just met." She's not in good health and can't sleep in the stable, so let's get a cheaper and cleaner room. ”
The scruffy shopkeeper looked up and down, and the man in the thick wool cloak, who could not distinguish between a man and a woman, covered his face with a hat with a low brim. nodded: "A copper coin for one night, pay first." ”
Rudolph really knew how to pretend, and he felt in his pocket for a long time before pulling out a shriveled money bag. I fumbled in the money bag for a while before I squeezed out a copper coin. All eyes and curiosity were disinterested in his poor appearance.
He reluctantly placed the copper coin on the wooden counter full of sword marks and knife holes: "The room must be clean and free of lice." ”
The shopkeeper, who had been impatient, pinched the copper coin and threw it into the small drawer where he put the money: "Don't worry, if there is a lice, I will paste you two copper coins upside down." ”
Rudolph smiled: "Then I hope to find one, and the more the better." ”
This amused the others, and Rudolph had a sword at his waist, but it was a short sword. Even a light sword can't afford one, so he can only get a short sword, and he is obviously a down-and-out knight. One of the guys, whose face was red from horse urine, shouted at the top of his voice: "Hurry up and find a few lice, sell them to him one by one, and you will make money." ”
Amid the laughter, a fellow took a burning stick from the fireplace next to him, used it as a light, and led Rudolph and Cheng Qianxun to the guest room.
Halfway through, a good guy prankfully pulled down Cheng Qianhiro's cloak and hat, and everyone's eyes converged.
Cheng Qianxun deliberately crooked his mouth and eyes, integrating his face blackened by mud, which was indescribably weird. In addition, it is dark at night, except for the cross-eyeballs, the height of the nose is not clear.
She pretended to be ashamed and covered her face with her hands, and Rudolph put her hat on with a smile, and said in a regretful tone: "She was lazy in the autumn harvest a while ago, and slept in the field. I don't know what evil wind blew, my face cramped, and I never came back, this time I took her to find a better monk to recite a few scriptures. ”
Having a stroke blown by a cold wind is also present in this era, but it is often associated with evil and retribution for doing wrong things. Now those people are relieved, as long as it is not leprosy or the Black Death, they love to tilt their faces and slant their faces, and they don't care what they do.
The man led them into the room: "A copper coin can live in such a good house, where can I find it, sleep!" ”
The guy went out, and Rudolph let go of the blanket that was placed on the bed and looked at the mattress.
In fact, it's not good, the whole room is just a four-foot bed, and the rest of the space is as small as a bed. There was a smell of urine everywhere, and it didn't smell much better than the stables. But even if the blankets and mattresses on the bed were old and broken, they were at least clean, and there were no dirty traces.
Cheng Qianxun took off his hat and wiped his face with the back of his hand, but in the end he didn't wipe it. Just sleep with a muddy face, for fear that some drunkard will run to the wrong room at night. She followed Rudolph to the door to see him off.
Rudolph stopped in front of the door, turned back and asked, "Don't want to keep me?" ”
When Cheng Qianxun heard this, he immediately turned around, spread a blanket on the bed, then took off his shoes and stood on the blanket, and looked at the empty bed with his eyes.
Rudolph smiled slightly, walked out, closed the door and left.
Cheng Qianxun sighed slightly, picked up the blanket on the ground, and put it back on the bed. She sat on the edge of the bed, first pressed the dagger in her sleeve under the pillow, and sat stunned.
Before she knew it, she had a lot of habits that were also changing, and weapons were one of them. She also learned to be like Rudolph, with a sword hanging either from her waist or with one in her sleeve or in her shoes; When sleeping, put an extra handful under the pillow, next to the mattress, in the quilt, and later.
After a while, there was a gentle knock on the door. But she didn't open the door, and she didn't know who knocked on the door. Although most people in this world should not knock on the door, but break directly, and then look at who is in the room, apologize if they can't afford it, and if they can afford it, not only will they not apologize, but they may also go up and tease.
Her hand reached into the pillow, her hand clutching the handle of the dagger, and she still sat tightly.
The door was pushed open, and it was Rudolph, who was holding a chair with a broken bucket on it.
Cheng Qianxun let go of the dagger and walked over. Rudolph put the chair down: "Pressing the door with a chair at night, although it can't prevent real bastards, at least it can keep drunkards from entering." If someone still breaks in, use this. ”
He picked up the broken iron bucket and slammed it into the corner of the chair, "Bang Dong" made a loud noise: "Knock a few more times, I can hear it." ”
Cheng Qianxun smiled and nodded.
Rudolph took out another oil-paper bag from his clothes: "Eat and sleep, close the door." With that, he opened the door and walked out.
Cheng Qianxun closed the door, and after the chair was on top of the door, he walked to the side of the bed with the oiled paper bag, and opened the paper bag after sitting down. It was some food, black bread, pork head, grilled fish, all with some salt.
If Rudolph does things, he can be so careful that it is surprising, and at this time he is more moved.
No wonder there are many widows, no matter how persevered, in the end they remarried with other men. Not because the love for her deceased husband is gone, but because of that feeling of being taken care of. People always want to be taken care of, and if they have someone to rely on, they will have more confidence in their hearts. I hope that when I am tired, I have a shoulder to lean on, when I am hungry, someone to bring food, and when I am bullied, someone can wield a sword and kill the bastard who bullied you.
Only Snead was still waiting, and maybe he was watching with the people of the Celestial Realm. But Rudolph is not a person who can easily call her name, is this layer just a lifetime, with him, waiting until he is about to die to call her name, and other things, wait until this layer is over?
While eating, Cheng Qianxun felt confused and at a loss. In the end, she still sprinkled her anger on Raphael and the heavenly realm, and she had to bear everything alone, and in the face of her teammates who completely forgot everything and did things by nature, she was simply tired like a dog.
The night was peaceful, and although there were constant noises of drunkards outside, no one broke in. Of course, there were still one or two movements at the door, and that was also drunk, leaning against the wall to find his room.
When it was almost dawn, Cheng Qianxun got up, put on his hat, lowered it, removed the chair that pressed the door and walked out.
She walked to the stables, which were knights, though they were the favorite of passing serfs and traders who wanted to save money. Unless they were rich, knights were willing to sleep in the stables and watch the horses. If the horse is stolen, it will be a bit disgraceful to walk back with the sword.
She walked all the way through the various people lying on both sides, and walked all the way in.
Rudolph was lying in the carriage, covered with a blanket. Sensing her arrival keenly, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep when he saw that it was her.
She walked to the back of the carriage and sat down in a corner out of sight of the people in front of her, covered herself with her cloak, and waited.
The body shrunk and became a snow fox. She got up from her cloak, grabbed it in her hand, jumped into the carriage, and lay down beside Rudolph. In the stinking stables, without a fireplace and without a wind, Rudolph would be cold. Look at the tiredness on his face, no different from the rest of the people lying in the stables. If you want to sleep in the stable without getting cold, in addition to filling the horse urine, you need to have enough fur on your body. But Rudolph just wants to pretend to be poor, how can he take out all the fur hidden in the straw and cover his body?
Rudolph felt it, opened his eyes and saw her holding the corner of the cloak and pulling it desperately on him, so he sat up with a smile, stretched out a hand holding the sword at his waist, first put the cloak on his body, and then took her in his arms and lay down to sleep. Fluffy and warmly hugged, and there was Cheng Qianxun guarding, now he could sleep with peace of mind. (To be continued.) )
