The night is approaching, Xia Jingyu has dinner and supper, Su Xiuxiu still stands outside the hotel unrelentingly, of course, she is no longer standing at the main entrance, the store guy politely brought her a bowl of leftovers, wanting to send her away, but I didn't expect Su Xiuxiu not to take the meal, but consciously stood in the corner next to the door, although it is a corner, but it is a ventilated outlet, from another wind, accompanied by the sound of the wind blowing hollow, in the silent night is particularly hideous.

Now it's about eight o'clock, in fact, this time is in modern times, the night is not really started, in ancient times when the lighting conditions are very poor, the surroundings are already pitch black, here, at nine o'clock when the candle is lit to read, even if it is a night reading.

Xia Jingyu stood on the second floor, stretched her neck and looked out, although she did not have night blindness, but in the dark night she was completely unsure that Su Xiuxiu was still there, standing outside for a night in such weather, she would definitely be freezing.

At this time, she heard the sound of the shopkeeper going out to splash water, and then his surprised voice: "Why are you still at the door, it's so late, hurry up and find a place to stay." ”

"I'm going to wait here for someone." Su Xiuxiu explained.

"What are you waiting for? I'm going to come back tomorrow morning. Xia Jingyu heard the shopkeeper muttering loudly: "If you freeze to death at the door, it will affect the business of our hotel." ”

"I'm going to wait for my benefactor, I promised to make cattle and horses for my benefactor, let me wait here, okay, what if the benefactor leaves in the middle of the night?"

"Leave what in the middle of the night? Our small shop is locked at night, aunt and grandmother, I beg you not to toss, if you continue to toss, I will directly find someone to catch you ......" The shopkeeper spoke faster and faster, obviously impatient.

Xia Jingyu looked at a thin and small black shadow, slowly getting smaller in the night, it seemed to be far away, in case she continued to guard the door tomorrow, it would be troublesome, it would be better to leave at three or four o'clock in the morning as she said.

The window on the second floor was closed, the girl in the distance heard the voice, grinned silently, and after a stick of incense, the door of the hotel was also locked, and the heavy copper lock made a heavy lock sound when it was locked, the girl walked along the uninhabited street, walked to a sheltered corner outside the hotel, slowly squatted down, and circled her whole person with her arms, she began to drip water since yesterday, and she was digging a good place for her brother all night, and she was overworked during the day, and now her stomach hurts and stirs, so cold and cold, Su Xiuxiu's back was against the cement wall, the wall cut through the ragged clothes, cutting the girl's soft back, this pain made her wake up a little, she couldn't sleep, she couldn't sleep, she wanted to prevent her benefactor from sneaking out.

By three or four o'clock in the morning, the innkeepers had already woken up, and they fed the horses for private chat, and prepared a hungry breakfast and dry food for the journey, so that the early travelers could easily get on the road. Xia Jingyu dozed off, mingled in a group of pedestrians who were ready to go, lazily preparing for breakfast.

The shopkeeper served her a bowl of beef noodles, and was about to clean up the mess left by the previous person, when another slightly younger guy came over, with a strange expression on his face, hesitating, and the shopkeeper shouted: "Just say anything, I'm busy in the morning, and I don't have time to grind with you here." ”

The young man looked around, his eyes still a little hesitant: "In the corner diagonally across the door, there is a beggar who has fallen there." ”

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Hey, it's really unlucky, are you dead?" ”

The young man's face was a little ugly: "I only took a few closer looks, it seems to be breathing, and it seems that there is none, I am afraid that she is dead, so I dare not confirm it." ”

"Cowardly thing!" The shopkeeper shook the rag on his hand, "If you die, you should quickly report it to the government and let the government tie it up." Don't let her stay at the door of the store and let people misunderstand. ”

Xia Jingyu woke up suddenly in the early morning, the chopsticks were thrown on the table, the beef noodles were knocked over, the bowl slanted down, and finally one rolled, fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces, the shopkeeper shouted at the back of Xia Jingyu who rushed out of the door: "Guest officer, this bowl is going to accompany the money." ”

A few steps out of the hotel, Xia Jingyu saw Su Xiuxiu, who was trying to shrink herself into a ball in the early morning sun, no wonder the young man didn't dare to confirm it, Su Xiuxiu's breathing was indeed very weak, and even if there was nothing, it was intermittent.

The shopkeeper also rushed out, and seeing that Xia Jingyu cared so much about the girl, he said curtly: "Guest officer, do you know her?" ”

Xia Jingyu glared at the shopkeeper: "Don't you see everyone like this?" I don't want to find a way to save people quickly, you report her to the bed in my room for me! ”

The shopkeeper hesitated: "Guest officer, this can't be helped." The look of disgust in his eyes was very palpable, who wanted to hold a dirty beggar and put her on the clean bed in the guest room.

"Double the price of the room." Xia Jingyu looked at the shopkeeper impatiently, and seeing that the shopkeeper didn't act immediately, his voice raised an octave: "Twice!" Thrice! Fourfold! Five-fold ......! ”

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, a snickering smile flashed on his face, he bent down to pick up Su Xiuxiu, and hurriedly ran to the room, the speed of a cigarette made people unable to react, and when Xia Jingyu just walked to the staircase, the shopkeeper ran down again, stood on the top of the stairs with a shy face, bowed humbly, and stretched out his hand: "Guest officer, the room money you said." ”

Xia Jingyu saw that he didn't mean to let himself go to the front desk to settle the bill, and expected that such a hotel had a special account room to manage accounts, and a store guy couldn't get cash, and now this guy wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make some oil and water, and she took out five times the price and gave it to this store guy.

The shopkeeper was grateful to Dade for accepting the money, the smile on his face was brighter than a flower, Xia Jingyu stepped out with one foot to the right, and the whole person greatly blocked the narrow staircase: "You go and invite a doctor to the nearest place for me as quickly as possible, and I will give you twice the room price." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly came down from upstairs, stopped the young guy who was still frightened by a series of quick movements of the shopkeeper, and quickly explained: "I have something to do when I go out, and you do some things in front of me, if Uncle Sun from the housekeeper comes to check on his attendance, you say that I will go to the back to feed the horses grass." ”

The young man was confused and just wanted to ask what was going on, but he saw the shopkeeper rushing out of the door, taking steps, and running away in great strides, so he had to shake his head and sigh helplessly: "What's wrong with him today, he was still complaining about his age and weak legs two days ago." ”
