Chapter 68: Spending the night in the village

On the second day, Wuchen took Meng Shaoguang early in the morning to start checking the accounts, and he was unhurried along the way, from the west city to the east city, and from the south city to the north city, plus the time to walk the streets and alleys to see the scenery and play, just the account books of Yancheng were checked for more than half a month.

Liu Guangrong would receive a reward every day, and he didn't find anything wrong, so he relaxed his vigilance.

On this day, Wuchen took a carriage and only took Qiyan Jiujue and Meng Feihua out of the west gate of Yancheng, looking like he was going to Qiancheng.

Liu Guangrong immediately asked people to report to Qiancheng Fucheng, and also sent someone to quietly follow the four people along the way.

"Ahead is Luoren Village, let's rest there tonight." Fifth Chen lifted the curtain and said to Meng Shaoguang.

They are now walking in the same place where they had sent people to investigate before, until they reached Qiancheng.

"Yes." Meng Shaoguang nodded to indicate that he understood.

They had calculated the time just a few days earlier, the weather was gloomy and dry, and the sky was cloudy, and it was estimated that it was going to rain in autumn. And the autumn rain at this time of year falls intermittently, and it will not be completely sunny for half a month.

The weather at the end of September is gradually getting colder, and even more so at night, I don't feel it in the carriage, and the seven words and nine jue who are driving the car are cloaks that do not leave their bodies, although they have internal force to protect the body, but they can't help but take the body seriously.

The carriage entered Luoren Village and went inside, and only halfway through it found a family to stop, Qiyan got out of the carriage and knocked on the door.

"Who?" The war in the Western Dynasty continued, and the men in the village were all sent to serve as soldiers, and the rest were old and weak women and children, so the doors and windows were closed early.

"We passed by your village, it was getting late and we wanted to spend the night here, I wonder if we can make it convenient?" Seven words are thoughtfully separated by the doorway.

When the people inside heard that it was an outsider, they fell silent, and Qiyan said again: "Old man? ”

After a while, I heard the sound of the deadbolt shaking, and between the opening of the door, a septuagenarian stared at Qiyan with his back bent and his eyes shimmering. He looked up at the carriage behind Qiyan again.

"How many of you? What is it for? The old man asked defensively. Blocking the door with his thin body, as if afraid of them breaking in.

"Four, in the carriage are our young master and a maid." Qiyan saw the old man's appearance, and his words became more and more sincere. He knew the situation here, and it was not easy for them to take in strangers at night, after all, the family was full of people who could not carry their shoulders and could not carry their hands, and if outsiders had any malicious intentions, it would be troublesome.

After Qiyan finished speaking, he saw Wuchen get down from the carriage, and Meng Shaoguang followed.

"Sir, we'll only stay one night, and we'll leave tomorrow." Wu Chen knew at a glance how to obtain the old man's consent, he was the most accurate in looking at people. If the old man is frivolous and greedy in his eyes, it is enough to give some silver, and the old man's eyes are as clear as a torch, and he is not so easy to dispel.

The old man glanced at Wuchen and Meng Shaoguang, then looked at their carriage, and finally took two steps forward, turned around and closed the door, and then said, "There is no force in the village, and it is inconvenient to take in outsiders. As he spoke, he looked up at the dark clouds and the moon-obscured sky and said, "Seeing that it is going to rain, you come with me." ”

Qiyan and Jiujue glanced at each other, and after receiving the signal of the fifth Chen, they led the carriage to the fifth Chen, and Meng Shaoguang followed.

Several people followed him forward for a quarter of an hour, and when they saw him knocking on the door of a house, they waited quietly without urging.

"Who's so late."

"Village chief, it's me, old raotou." The old man replied.

After hearing this, the village chief opened the door suddenly, and the four people standing behind an old man frowned inadvertently.

"Village chief, these people are here to stay overnight, and seeing that it is about to rain, I think it is inconvenient to live in anyone's house, isn't there a vacant room behind the grain drying field, so let them stay for one night temporarily."
