Chapter 3 The Inn in Question
Out of the house, Erdan followed them out.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Erdan said a little unhappily: "Sister Hao, you must come back." ”
Qin Hao touched Erdan's head and said, "Okay, I know." A man can't grind and chirp. ”
Bai Zhen'er turned her head and saw a person standing next to the old tree next to the entrance of the village, that person had been looking at them all the time, she turned her head and said, "Erdan, do you know that person over there?" ”
"It's him." Qin Hao still remembered the boy, "He is the one who went to join the army with the elder brother in the family, and then there was only one person left in the family who was bullied." ”
"Erdan, go back and take care of everything at home." Bai Zhen'er spoke, and then turned her head and walked outside with Qin Hao, getting into the ox cart that was already waiting on the side.
The two sat on the ox cart side by side, and Qin Hao said, "What do you mean by what you said to Erdanniang just now, what does it mean to tell the truth?" "In general, isn't it all about not telling the truth?
Bai Zhen'er replied: "Do you think the person who comes to the door one day will be a good stubble?" "It's not for nothing that she says that. Even if they tell the truth, it won't hurt them, they don't know anything at all.
"Again, it's still thoughtful." If they don't say anything about the two eggs, those people will still think that they know something, and the torture of skin and flesh will definitely not be less at that time. Even if they did, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Qin Hao felt that Zhenzhen's thinking was more cautious and he was thinking long-term.
They had to travel from village to town, and then on horseback.
Bai Zhen'er glanced at the figure that had been following behind the ox cart, and said, "Ah, look." ”
"I know, he's been with us all the way." Qin Hao didn't need to look at it to know that it was the child at the entrance of the village.
"What is he doing with us?"
"You say, I must have heard about our whereabouts from the mouth of the second egg, and then I had to follow." Qin Hao knew that Erdan was a stupid and sweet product, no matter how much that child was bullied, Qin Hao couldn't forget the look he saw by the river that day: tenacity. Unyielding.
"You want to take it?" Bai Zhen'er asked rhetorically.
Qin Hao didn't look behind him, nor did he answer.
After the ox cart shook slowly for more than half an hour, it finally arrived in the town, which was much more lively than the village.
"Let's go. Eat something first. The two got out of the ox cart and headed for the bazaar, where they ate on the side of the street and then bought some dry food.
In the end, I bought two horses for a few dozen taels of silver, which is not a big place. Horses are also bantams. "It's going to be used. When we get to the big county, we will change. Qin Hao looked a little disgusted.
"Do you have any money?" For horseback riding, she used to not know, but then she did.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so let's go." Qin Hao turned over and got on his horse, and his thick clothes and hat were put on his body.
Bai Zhen'er skillfully got on the horse and followed, and the horse went out of the city gate and went to the official road outside. During heavy snowfall, there are few pedestrians on the road. So when I looked back, I saw the shadow of the thief running hard.
She looked at Qin Hao on the side and said, "You really don't have it?" ”
"What to bring?"
All that is left is the mouth is poor. I don't want to bring why I went to buy some clothes in the town just now. Originally, there was not much money, and she still didn't believe that this person was idle because he had too much money.
"Hmph, drive." Qin Hao rode his horse and galloped forward, Bai Zhen'er sighed and rode up to follow.
The speed of the horse increased, and the shadow behind him became farther and farther away, and it was very difficult to follow.
The horse galloped wildly for a while, and the wind cut its face like a knife, and both of them could not stand it and walked slowly on their horses.
"I said, Ah, should we go in a carriage?" It's good that it's not snowing. It's just that the wind is a little cold, and if it snows this night, there is no place to stay, and it must not be buried by the heavy snow.
"It was my mistake. The next stop on this road is a county seat, but I guess we won't be able to get there today. Qin Hao looked around, "You have to find a place to stay quickly." ”
"Let's go, look ahead." The two of them went on so far that the horses were a little tired.
It was getting dark. The horses also walked slowly.
Qin Hao saw that not far ahead, there was an inn with lights on. "Zhenzhen, you see there is an inn in front of you."
Finally finding a place to stay and not sleeping in the wilderness, the two horses went forward, the inn was not too big, but the lights were bright but there was not a single guest.
Qin Hao spoke: "Is there anyone?" ”
Bai Zhen'er carefully observed this place, it was about to snow heavily outside, but it was extremely warm inside.
"It's coming, it's coming." A woman dressed in red came down from upstairs, "It turned out that the guests had arrived, and Xiao Er didn't hurry up to greet the guests." ”
"Come, come." Immediately came out of the back of the house with a hooked waist, "Do you want to stay in the hotel or sharpen the guest?" ”
"Stay in the hotel, and have some hot meals and hot dishes." The two of them sat at a table in the lobby.
"Holo." The shopkeeper immediately turned around and left.
The two sat at the table, and the woman in red just glanced at the two of them, then turned and went upstairs.
The food was on the table, Qin Hao glanced at it, and then picked up the chopsticks, and when Bai Zhen'er saw this, she also took the chopsticks. It's also good to eat something hot in such a cold weather.
After a while, the neighing of horses was heard from outside, and the direction was where they had put their horses.
The shopkeeper was clever, and quickly ran out, and then ran in and said, "Guest officer, someone outside told Hanako to fall next to your horse." It's been driven away, don't care. ”
Qin Hao stopped his chopsticks, "But a little boy?" ”
"Yes, officer, do you know?"
"You eat first. I'll take a look. Qin Hao stood up and went outside.
Bai Zhen'er knew that this person was duplicitous, didn't he still go out. Now the two-person line is going to become a threesome, but I don't know if the young man will drive the carriage.
Qin Hao walked out, and saw a shadow curled up in the corner of the stable. She stood outside, "What are you doing with us?" ”
The young man raised his head, and Qin Hao saw his appearance clearly, but he was born with a good skin.
"You only have one chance, it's up to you to say it or not." Qin Hao didn't have the patience to wait for the man to speak, so he turned around directly, but after not taking a few steps, a hoarse voice came from behind him: "Don't go in." ”
Qin Hao turned around, "What did you say?" ”
"Don't go in, there's a ghost."
"Well, you look like a ghost." Qin Hao looked at those eyes, and only said after half a sound: "Wait for me here, if you haven't been frozen to death when you come out tomorrow, I can consider taking you with me." ”
Doubts flashed in the young man's eyes, but he heard a faint word, and she said, "I have a good pair of eyes." ”
The young man looked at the inn with red firelight, and lowered his eyes silently, and his eyes were empty.
After eating, the two asked for a room, which was called saving money, but in fact, the two knew that tonight was destined to not be peaceful.
Indeed, the red light that the young man saw represented a strange aura. It shows that there are strange things in this inn, but fortunately, the food is relatively normal, and there is not even sweat medicine. (To be continued.) )
