Chapter 94: Resentment Suyuan
Fifteen days later, the four of them had been in the area of Jiangsu and Shanghai for three days, and from the local population, they found out that the merchant ships and fishing boats that went to sea were basically gathered in the area of the Yangtze River estuary, and then everyone rushed to the town in front of the estuary.
It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful, and the good mood of everyone rushing to the destination is extinguished.
The haze gathered in the sky over the sea, and when I arrived in the town, the sky slowly began to drizzle, this was the first rain since the weekend crossing, and I did not prepare an umbrella, so I could only hurriedly enter the town.
Because of the rain, the market, which had been very lively from afar, is gone, and the hawkers who are shouting on the roadside are picking up their goods and hiding under the eaves to avoid the rain.
The drizzle drops fell on the eaves, slowly condensed into a large drop, and the drips fell into the small pits in the ground, accumulating more and more.
There is only one stone-paved road in the town, and the streets are all made of stone-paved pillars, and on the weekend, the four of them crossed the stone-paved bridge and entered the center of the town, and hurriedly found a nearby inn, intending to move in immediately.
This inn is not luxurious at all, it is a three-story tiled house, with earth-gray walls, one after another neat and orderly tiles, neatly arranged on the roof, which is not at all the same as what you see in Luoyang on the weekend, many of which are high-quality wooden buildings and glazed tile roofs.
When Xiao Er watched the convoy of weekends and others coming from the rain, he took out two oil-paper umbrellas from the store, didn't fight himself, put the white cloth on his head with his hand, and went out of the store to greet him.
"A few guest officers, are you going to eat or stay in a hotel?" Xiao Er handed the oil-paper umbrella to the leader of the weekend, and asked in a voice that happened to drown out the sound of the rain.
On the weekend, he took out a tael of silver, threw it to Xiao Er, and replied, "For dinner, you also have to stay in the hotel, quickly settle all the horses for me, prepare three upper rooms, and bring up all the good wine and food, and the excess will be rewarded to you." ”
Then he took an umbrella to Xu on the weekend, held up the umbrella with Xu Qu, and picked up the second daughter from the carriage, Xu went to pick up Yang Yuhuan, and he picked up Su Yuan.
When Xiao Er got the silver, he knew that he was either an official or a wealthy businessman who traded with overseas on weekends, because ordinary people couldn't use the silver.
He hurriedly responded, "The guest officer will go to the store to rest first, and the little one will go and order." ”
Next, he beckoned the other men in the store to come out and settle the horses and wagons, and he led them into the store for the weekend.
After entering the store, the intimate Xu went and directly found the shopkeeper at the counter to buy a new sweat towel for the rainy weekend, because when it rained, he, Su Yuan, and Yang Yuhuan were all sitting in the carriage, blocked by a carport, not like riding a horse on the weekend so embarrassed, it can be said that the weekend was almost soaked.
At that time, everyone also reminded the weekend to get on the carriage together, but the weekend insisted on refusing, his consideration was that the Long March had come to the last step, and he was about to be able to leave Datang, and he could not make a mistake in the last link, and it was not convenient to observe the surrounding environment in the carriage, especially whether there were pursuers behind, only by riding on a horse, it was convenient to observe.
The interior of the inn is as plain as the surface, there are few decorations on the walls, and the most decoration is where the shopkeeper is located - two vases of flowers are placed on the counter, there is a multi-treasure grid behind the counter, and the tables and chairs in the dining hall of the store are also made of ordinary solid wood.
After paying the rent, Xiao Er led the four of them to the second floor.
Although it is a private seat, it is no different from the lobby next to it, except that you can see the sea.
In the hall, there were some big men sitting in twos and threes, who seemed to be people working on the beach, drinking wine and chatting. Seeing that they came in on the weekend, they just looked at Yuhuan and Su Yuan twice, maybe because there were often merchant ship owners on the seaside, with extraordinary women, so although Su Yuan specially gave herself and Yang Yuhuan a disguise, and after covering up a little beauty, she still looked very beautiful, and they were actually used to seeing it, and quickly withdrew their gaze.
They found a table by the window and sat down, and when they looked out of the window on the weekend, it was still drizzling outside, which shrouded the whole town in a white mist, but they could still faintly see that not far from the town, there was a huge pier, where the sea and the land meet, and a new beginning of life.
Su Yuan and Yuhuan did not interrupt the weekend's contemplation, sitting quietly beside him, each holding one of his arms, Xu Qu was opposite, his eyes squinted, as if he had been immune to the scene of showing affection - mainly along the way, they ate and slept in the open, shared weal and woe, and cherished each other more and more, and I don't know when it became the current mode of getting along.
After a while, Xiao Er came up with hot wine and hot dishes, and also woke up the weekend from contemplation.
When Xiao Er was about to leave, he called him at the weekend, took out a hundred yuan again, rewarded him, and asked, "Have any merchant ships been to Dongying recently?" If you know, you'll be rewarded. ”
Xiao Er smiled bitterly and said, "The guest officer is new to the town, right?" Recently, there have been frequent storms at sea in the past half month, how can any merchant ship be willing to go to sea! They are all waiting for the calm in the town, and you can see that many of the people sitting in the hall are part-time workers who used to work at the docks, and some of the owners of merchant ships are also living in the inn. ”
I didn't expect that there were no merchant ships going to sea on the weekend, this is troublesome, when will the storm pass, this is not an accurate letter, seeing that there is not much time for the task, what should I do?
Yuhuan saw his anxiety and comforted, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, let's stay here first, and when the weather at sea is good, we will set off again, and we are not in a hurry." Let's eat first. ”
Nodding his head on the weekend, he was about to pick up his chopsticks and prepare to pick up the dishes, when suddenly, the system prompt that hadn't bubbled for a long time came: release the second designated task.
In view of the host's strong intentions, the second task: to escort Yang Yuhuan to Dongying safely, within one month.
Task reward: Fetal Pill (to ensure the smooth birth of the child and have cultivation talent), a basic cultivation exercise.
Note: During the specified mission, the countdown to the main quest will be temporarily suspended, and there are currently 12 days left.
This task is good, give the system 36 likes, but what is a fetal pill? It's impossible for me to give birth to a child in the Tang Dynasty, it's useless.
Cultivating exercises is a good thing, although it is the foundation, it is better than nothing, and I am already fantasizing about it on the weekend, and in the future, the cultivation exceeds what the system gives, and the appearance of high-level martial arts ability, I almost drooled, and I didn't come back to my senses until I was patted by Su Yuan on the chopsticks held in the air.
On the weekend, she hurriedly and happily sandwiched several chopsticks dishes to Yang Yuhuan, which made her feel a little flattered inexplicably, and she didn't know why she suddenly became so happy on the weekend.
He didn't notice it for a while, and Su Yuan's resentful eyes flashed beside him.
