Chapter 160: There are bandits on the road
It's a surname to be so unkind to yourself, it's really! Lu Xiaoyao complained about Lu Lin in her heart for a long time, and then thought about it, why did she bother with Lu Lin?
The travel of the grain transport team is generally very difficult, especially in this cold winter, and all the people and horses gather here in the open space outside the post house.
A makeshift tent was set up in the open space to protect against the wind and snow, and a charcoal fire was burning inside the tent, and everyone sat around it, roasting the fire and drinking hot wine to warm up.
Zhao Guanlan and Lu Lin first checked the grain, and then came to the tent, and at this time, the guys from the post house also came out with food.
The hot soup was delivered, and everyone did not move first, looking at Lu Lin one by one.
Lu Lin came to the middle, his eyes fell on the food sent by a few guys, his eyes looked at it for a moment, and he nodded at everyone.
"Eat."
Lu Lin nodded, and someone spoke, and the people and horses carrying the grain got up to take the food from the guys, and they couldn't wait to start eating.
Lu Lin and Zhao Guanlan came to sit down by the fire, Lu Lin untied a wine jug from his waist, took a sip first, and then handed it to Zhao Guanlan.
"I won't drink it." Zhao Guanlan rejected Lu Lin's wine jug, causing Lu Lin to smile.
"Zhao Guanlan, I thought that people like you should like women with outstanding abilities like our young lady."
When Lu Lin's words fell, Zhao Guanlan suddenly smiled, "You don't know my daughter-in-law." ”
Zhao Guanlan only said this, and then got up and prepared to enter the post house.
Lu Lin thought to himself, he definitely didn't know Lu Xiaoyao, but he didn't want to understand either, it was just a vase with no beauty, and it was not enough for him to be distracted to understand.
Zhao Guanlan entered the hall and looked at the hall for a moment before coming to the counter.
The guy was busy at the counter, and when he saw Zhao Guanlan coming over, he said politely, "Guest officer, the food has been prepared, is there anything else you need?" ”
"Prepare some hot water for me and bring it to my room."
Zhao Guanlan's words fell, the guy nodded, and then Zhao Guanlan went straight upstairs.
In the room, Lu Xiaoyao frowned, sitting on a chair, his face was a little ugly.
"Knock knock...", when Lu Xiaoyao heard it, his expression instantly became a little ugly, he sat without moving, and he didn't mean to open the door.
Zhao Guanlan knocked on the door a few times, and when he saw that there was no reaction in the house, his expression changed a little.
"Daughter-in-law." Zhao Guanlan called, and then knocked on the door loudly.
Hearing Zhao Guanlan's voice, Lu Xiaoyao's ugly face changed a little, and he got up in a hurry, strode to the door to open the door.
"Xianggong."
The door opened, and Lu Xiaoyao rushed over and hugged Zhao Guanlan tightly.
When you go out, you can really meet anyone, after Zhao Guanlan left, the guy brought food, and someone took the opportunity to sneak into her room, fortunately, the guy is a discerning person, otherwise this matter is really troublesome.
After the guy left, Lu Xiaoyao closed the door, and there was still an undead knock on the door, Lu Xiaoyao was very depressed, so he simply didn't hear it and ignored it.
Lu Xiaoyao hugged Zhao Guanlan tightly, thinking that she hadn't opened the door for a long time just now, Zhao Guanlan guessed a few points.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm here! It's okay, don't be afraid. Zhao Guanlan said comfortingly and brought Lu Xiaoyao into the room.
In the room, the food was still fragrant, and it was placed on the table intact, Zhao Guanlan saw this, and said again, "Why don't you eat first?" ”
Lu Xiaoyao sat on the chair, calmed down for a while, and then spoke, "I didn't have an appetite just now." ”
Zhao Guanlan didn't speak, and when he saw that the food was still hot, he served soup to Lu Xiaoyao, and then accompanied her to eat.
While eating, the guy brought hot water and knocked on the door outside.
Zhao Guanlan motioned to Lu Xiaoyao to eat, and then went to open the door to get hot water, and he didn't know what Zhao Guanlan said to the guy, and the guy left happily with the silver.
Zhao Guanlan came in with hot water, and Lu Xiaoyao had already finished eating.
The things at the post station are not delicious, and for Lu Xiaoyao, who is picky, she would rather eat some pastries than eat these foods.
Zhao Guanlan knew Lu Xiaoyao's temperament, but he didn't persuade her, poured hot water into the wooden basin, Zhao Guanlan smiled at Lu Xiaoyao and said, "Daughter-in-law, soak your feet." ”
It was the first time Lu Xiaoyao walked such a long way in a carriage, although there were blankets and charcoal in the carriage, but her hands and feet were still cold, Zhao Guanlan knew her, so he asked for hot water to come back and soak his daughter-in-law's feet.
I have to say that the careful and meticulous Zhao Guanlan moved Lu Xiaoyao very much.
Zhao Guanlan was in the room, there were no abnormal sounds at the door, Lu Xiaoyao was soaking in hot water, and he was talking and laughing with Zhao Guanlan, and he had some expectations for going to the border.
When you get here, it's not very far to go to the border, if there is no accident, tomorrow you will go to the next foothold for a night's rest, and the morning after tomorrow, you will be able to reach the border capital.
In the first half of the night, Zhao Guanlan didn't have to go out to keep vigil, and after eating, he washed his feet with the water that Lu Xiaoyao soaked in his feet, and then hugged Lu Xiaoyao to rest.
Lu Xiaoyao was not used to the environment of the post house, and he couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed, Zhao Guanlan was a little distressed, and some regretted that he took Lu Xiaoyao out to suffer on impulse.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry!" Zhao Guanlan hugged Lu Xiaoyao and said softly, his tone was full of self-blame.
Feeling Zhao Guanlan's self-blame, Lu Xiaoyao also hugged him tightly with his backhand, and smiled at him, "Xianggong, I want to share weal and sorrow with you." ”
Lu Xiaoyao's words made Zhao Guanlan's heart full of emotion, and his love for Lu Xiaoyao became more and more intense.
couldn't sleep, so Lu Xiaoyao simply didn't sleep, and chatted with Zhao Guanlan about the last time he went to the border.
Speaking of the last time he went to the border, Zhao Guanlan felt that he was quite lucky, all the way to the border, and contacted Youguang, the head of the largest family on the border.
You Guang is the one who buys Zhao Guanlan's food, Zhao Guanlan only needs to send the food to the border, and You Guang will take over, and after paying the money, the task will be completed.
The first time he cooperated, You Guang was very sincere, and the money was paid in one lump sum, so Zhao Guanlan would continue to cooperate with him.
The cooperation with You Guang was very smooth, but when I returned, I still encountered a little trouble.
Out of the border, there is a road that must be passed, that road is dangerous, next to a big mountain, the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so there is a group of bandits who often appear on that road, killing people and setting fires, robbing money and robbing sex, which is why Zhao Guanlan is looking for Lin Juan to cooperate.
The bandits are not something he can deal with, and with the cooperation of the Lin family, safety can be guaranteed, Zhao Guanlan is glad that his original choice is extremely correct.
When I went to the border for the first time, I don't know if it was luck or what? The grain transport team passed easily and did not encounter any bandits, but when it returned, the grain transport team was detained.
