PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
The mind of the "big boss" is not on Li Qu at all, he originally intended to let Li Qu leave, but as a bandit leader, he will not easily believe in other people's oaths.
The "big master" said: "I will believe you once, but in order to prevent you from bringing officers and soldiers here, and you want to walk with us, you must be blindfolded along the way, and when the road forks in the road, you will be let go!" ”
Li Qu was grateful to Dade when he heard it: "Thank you for being in charge." ”
The "big boss" didn't trust Li Qu, but was polite to the people on Shen Xi's side, and he didn't even have to blindfold his eyes, as if he wasn't worried about Shen Xi directing the officers and soldiers to come to encircle and suppress him.
The group walked for another day before they walked out of the mountains and returned to the official road, but the southern boundary of Yanping Mansion was very barren, and there were no people on the official road at all.
After another day of walking, I finally arrived at Daejeon, and settled at the inn in the town in the evening.
There are more than 20 people in the group, and they can be regarded as the big customers of the inn.
The innkeeper personally greeted him, but he didn't know which of these people was taking the lead, at this time, the blindfolds of Li Qu's master and servant had been removed, after all, he had already reached the official road, and he was not afraid that he would recognize the way. In the end, Shen Xi took the initiative to stand up and said, "Arrange a few rooms for us, is there enough space to live?" ”
The shopkeeper had an apologetic look on his face: "If you want to say that we have a lot of vacant rooms, it's up to you...... A few people live in one room. If not, there is still a shop ......"
Shen Xi looked at the "big boss" with inquiring eyes. The "big boss" smiled: "We are mountain village husbands, and it is good to live in Tongpu." ”
Shen Mingwen hurriedly said: "You can live in the shop, but I can't, the shopkeeper will come to an upper room." ”
Shen Xi really wanted to give Shen Mingwen a slap, did he really think this was a tour of the mountains and rivers? Walking with a group of bandits, and still like to be in the limelight so much, I really don't know how to write the word "death".
Shen Xi looked at the "big boss" and said: "Otherwise, live in the guest room first, and if it is not enough, then consider the ...... of the shop."
The "big boss" smiled and nodded, and the group entered the inn. Behind the scenes, I heard the shopkeeper muttering to the innkeeper: "Who are these people?" ”
In this group, there were Sven people who looked like scholars, and they also brought small servants, but it was difficult to understand why some people like poor Hanako followed.
Enter the inn. Shen Xi went to the counter to book the room first, a total of seven empty rooms were booked, and the rest of the people could only go to sleep in the bunk.
In order to reassure the shopkeeper, Shen Xi settled the house money first.
At any time, it is easy to do things with money. As long as you have silver, others will treat you as an uncle. The guy in the store was still complaining just now, but at this time he had changed his face, his smile was bright, and he was very attentive when he served tea and water.
Although the "big boss" seems to be courteous to Shen Xi and others, he is still afraid that someone will escape and report the news, so each room sends someone to keep vigil outside, which makes the shopkeeper a little unclear, Shen Xi patiently explained: "Recently, the ground in Fujian is not very peaceful, and the Japanese are infested everywhere, and I am waiting to go out." I was afraid of danger, so I found someone to escort me along the way. ”
The shopkeeper was relieved: "I see, if you have any other orders, please let me know." ”
Shen Xi waved his hand to let the shopkeeper take care of himself, he turned around and went back to the room, and the person who was in the same room with him happened to be the daughter of the "big boss", that is, the woman who was indignant with Shen Xi along the way.
This woman seems to hold a grudge, Shen Xi stained her hemp quilt, and she stared at Shen Xi all the way, as if she wanted to remember this grudge until she was old.
"This ...... Girl. You sleep in the bed, I sleep on the floor, do you think it is good? Shen Xi asked tentatively.
The woman's resentful gaze turned a little puzzled, with her knowledge and experience. I couldn't understand Shen Xi's two words at all.
Shen Xi still doesn't know how old she is, she looks sixteen or seventeen years old, but her figure is taller than most men, and the woman who can grow to one meter eight in this year is definitely a monster among women.
"You sleep on it!" After a long pause, the woman finally spoke.
Shen Xi smiled. I went over to make the bed first, and was about to help the woman make the floor, when there was a voice outside, and it turned out that the store was going to bring dinner to each room.
Shen Xi brought in his and the woman's dinner, and saw that a few people guarding the door had already sat down cross-legged, holding rice balls there and eating them deliciously, if they didn't know, they really thought they were beggars, which made the shop guys who came to deliver the food frown.
When Shen Xi closed the door and came back, the woman had already put all the food on the table into her mouth, and was staring at Shen Xi with wide eyes.
"Eaten all up?"
Before Shen Xi could react, he just brought the food in and went to the door to take a look, and closed the door by the way, the woman not only ate her share, but also didn't let go of his.
The woman said, "After a day of walking, my stomach is a little hungry. ”
Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "Are you full?" ”
The woman shook her head honestly.
Shen Xi was very helpless, he was still hungry, and was about to open the door and go downstairs to order food, when the woman followed: "I'll go with you." ”
Shen Xi didn't say anything, the two went downstairs together and ordered another rice.
Fortunately, when the dinner was held in the evening, there was still a surplus of rice prepared in the inn, but this time there was only rice and no vegetables, Shen Xi and the woman went upstairs with a bowl of rice, and before they reached the door, the woman had already stuffed all the rice into her mouth with her hand, and was looking at the bowl in Shen Xi's hand.
Shen Xi thought to herself: "Sure enough, she has a lot of strength and a lot of food, no wonder she can easily lift an adult man to the sky." ”
Shen Xi said: "Forget it, I'll let you have half a bowl more, no more, I still have to eat it myself." ”
The woman didn't know how to be polite, so she reached out and was about to grab it, Shen Xi hurriedly used chopsticks to block her hand, and then used chopsticks to pull half a bowl of rice into the woman's bowl.
The woman was so happy that she stuffed the rice into her stomach in a few bites, and finally had a smile on her face: "In our place, you can eat rice twice a year, birthday...... And the Chinese New Year! Speaking of this, there is still some nostalgia on his face.
Shen Xi asked strangely, "If you eat so badly, then you still look like this...... Strong? ”
The woman said, "I usually go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to eat, and only when I am full can I have strength." ”
The amount of food is a very tangled problem, Shen Xi hurriedly ate his half bowl of rice, otherwise he would have to be remembered. After eating, she had to lie down and sleep a long time ago, and the woman looked at the brand-new quilt and the soft things inside, and refused to get into the quilt.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Xi finished washing and went to bed, looked at the woman and asked.
The woman touched the quilt. A little envious: "What is in such a soft quilt?" ”
"It's cotton in there." Shen Xi explained.
The woman said happily: "I know that my mother's dowry has a cotton jacket, and I can still wear it during the Chinese New Year." It is...... Much harder than that. ”
Shen Xi secretly thought, the padded jacket your mother wore when she got married was at least twenty years old, and it was strange that the cotton in it could be soft.
Wait to get into the bed. The woman kept giggling there, and her hand kept touching the quilt: "It turns out that this is called a quilt, it's really good, if only I had a quilt in the future." ”
Shen Xi looked at her sideways and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The woman's face turned cold: "I can't say it." ”
Although she doesn't seem to have a bright head, she has a strong sense of self-protection, and until now Shen Xi doesn't know the name of any of these bandits.
Shen Xi said: "Then you can always tell me how old you are, right?" ”
The woman thought about it for a moment and muttered, "Dad won't let me say my name, it shouldn't matter how old I am." Well, I'm fifteen years old. ”
If it weren't for this, this woman really wouldn't have the talent to lie. Shen Xi really thought she was lying.
Shen Xi couldn't help but be speechless, fifteen years old, then she is only fourteen years old this year, Lin Dai is now fifteen years old, but compared to this woman, she is simply a weak little girl!
Shen Xi thought to himself: "Look at the thin appearance of your father and your brother, you girl is not your father's own child, right?" ”
Shen Xi stopped talking, but made the woman a little dissatisfied: "I told you everything, you have to tell me, how old are you?" ”
Shen Xi smiled: "I said it when I was on the mountain." I'm twelve, and I'm thirteen. ”
The woman thought for a moment and said, "Did you say it on the mountain?" ”
Not only are people stupid, but even their memory is not good! Shen Xi turned his head to the side, and the two began to close their eyes and sleep. The woman fell asleep first, and she snored so loudly that Shen Xi didn't sleep well all night.
When Shen Xi woke up the next morning, he saw the woman carefully arranging the quilt there...... It turned out that when she woke up early in the morning, she found that she was drooling on it, and she wanted to wipe it clean, looking nervous for fear of being seen.
"You...... I ......"
The woman sat on the bunk. Hide the quilt behind you.
Shen Xi put on his coat, put his shoes in one hand, and waved them in the other, and said, "It's nothing, no one cares about it there." ”
The woman looked incredulous: "Such a good quilt, no one cares?" ”
I thought it was your quilt, a broken quilt, fell to the ground and slightly stained the soil are in a hurry with me, this is an inn, and the bedding is often changed.
Shen Xi said: "It will dry after a while with some water, who can see it?" ”
The woman scratched her head and smiled: "It's also ha." ”
On this day, there was the experience of staying in the same room last night, the woman no longer stared at Shen Xi, and kept looking at the scenery on both sides of the official road along the way, once there were villages or towns along the way, she was very happy, for her it was already a prosperous world.
After walking for three days, he came to a three-way intersection, Li Qu needed to turn southwest to Longxi, Zhangzhou, and the "big boss" let the people go without any embarrassment.
The group continued to the Tingzhou Mansion in the northwest.
The woman was as curious every day as she was at the beginning, and as soon as there was a village and market town in the back, she pulled Shen Xi to look at it together.
"It's just a small village out there, nothing unusual...... Have you ever seen a two-story building? ”
The woman shook her head.
Shen Xi said: "There are more small buildings in the city, there are three or four floors, do you know how high?" Taller than the big tree outside. ”
The woman looked up at the treetops high above the car window, turned around and asked, "Living so high, aren't you afraid of falling down?" ”
Shen Xi said with a smile: "Xiaolou is very sturdy, and it will not fall down easily. ”
The woman nodded as if she didn't understand: "Then there are still a few days until you say...... Town? ”
Shen Xi thought for a while and said, "I'm not very familiar with this road, but I think there will be four or five days, and when you get to the place, I'll take you to the city for a good walk." It's ......"
"What's it?"
The woman's face was a little happy, but now she became nervous again.
Shen Xi sighed: "You don't have a guide, I don't know if you can enter the city." ”
The woman's eyes were full of doubt, she obviously didn't understand what a guide was, and she didn't understand why she couldn't enter the city without that thing.
Because the past few days have been on the official road, and the places where they have stayed on the road are inns, she is very happy every time the woman has a room with Shen Xi, because she can divide more than half of Shen Xi's meals to eat, and Shen Xi will occasionally add meals to her and eat some good things that she has never eaten in the mountains.
At night, although she slept on the floor, the floor was all planked and cleaned, with a thick blanket spread underneath and a quilt on top, which was warm and soft.
Originally, the woman wanted to go to the city as soon as possible to see the world of buildings that Shen Xi said, but after knowing that there was no way to enter the city, she preferred to walk on the road for a few more days: "It would be nice if I could stay in a guest house every day." ”
