Chapter 365 Dou
When the night is dark, it is finally and mercilessly enveloped the sky.
It was also at this time that Lu Ye and the others also found an inn, which was of course the only inn in this town.
"The shopkeeper doesn't seem to have much business in your shop......."
Lu Ye and the others only came in the evening, but there was not a single guest in the entire lobby at this time, and the back hall did not have the hustle and bustle of those inns that Lu Ye had been to in the past, so he couldn't help but ask.
Guarding the inn was an old man in his fifties and sixties, who was trembling and trembling at this time, and his voice was very hoarse: "Yes...... The town is so big...... The number of guests coming and going is also limited, and if it weren't for the guests coming today, our store wouldn't have opened yet....... ”
"So no business, old shopkeeper, why are you still guarding this inn and not changing some other way of life?" Lu Ye asked a little strangely.
At this time, Xiao Er and Ran Tang in the inn led the other people in the team to find a chase shop to live in. The inn is not very large, but the difficulty of accommodating these sixty or seventy people is not very high.
"Where can I get out...... This is an inheritance ...... passed down from our ancestors. Hearing Lu Ye talk about this problem, the old shopkeeper's tone was full of sighs at this time.
The ancestors made the law, and the ancestors made the law, and this kind of thing is also very important to them.
Lu Ye nodded when he heard this: "That's right, no matter how bad the things passed down from the ancestors are, they can't just be left like this." ”
"yes, yes, that's what it is......." The old man nodded violently as if he had found a confidant.
"Then how was your inn's business in the past?"
The old man was a little melancholy: "Hey, what about business......." It's just barely enough to make ends meet. Fortunately, these things are all homemade, and if you leave the door open and put it here, you won't lose your money. ”
Lu Ye said: "This time, you can be regarded as earning it, old man." We are a group of more than 60 people, and we are going to eat at your place tonight, if possible, can you buy some food for us, and don't want too many things, all kinds of fish and meat, buy some. Here are a few pieces of silver, and I hope that the old man will not shirk ....... ”
The old shopkeeper couldn't help but tremble a little at this time, and took the silver money handed to him by Lu Ye, and then roared directly towards the back hall: "Little dog, come over to me quickly." ”
"Eh, here we are."
Then I saw a slightly thin half-grown child running out from behind: "What's the matter! ”
The old shopkeeper hurriedly carried a few pieces of money in his hand and said to the child: "Hurry up, hurry up, go buy some food and come back, don't wait for these guest officials." ”
The young man called the puppy also sighed at this time, and then walked outside in a hurry.
Lu Ye also found a table and sat down quite casually at this time, and not long after, Chen Zhiyou Heng and others also came to Lu Ye's side.
"This inn, there's nothing wrong with it, right?" You Heng asked.
In fact, in the entire team, the one who bears the most pressure is Youheng. The reason is also very simple, just because You Heng is the chief envoy of this mission.
Although a lot of the time, this matter is not very noticeable.
But it is naturally impossible for You Heng to ignore these things like them. He should consider the same.
Lu Ye said: "There are no big problems with the inn...... ”
Of course, Lu Ye was not idle to talk to the old man about these things, but he also had his own deep intentions in it, in order to confirm whether it was possible for this inn to ambush the enemy.
"It's just these two people that make me feel a little strange......."
"What's strange?"
"Some are too calm....... I don't feel any change in the shopkeeper's feelings....... ”
"What does that mean?" This time, even Shi Lian on the side couldn't understand it a little.
Lu Ye explained: "A normal shopkeeper, when he encounters such a large business, he should always be a little happy or excited, or there are so many customers, happy but too busy to feel the feelings, but the old man doesn't seem to be ....... ”
"It's nothing, you look at the old shopkeeper's age, to say the least, there must be sixty or seventy, what kind of scene has never been seen, maybe he has already looked down on it." You Heng said with some uncertainty.
Lu Ye shook his head: "I don't know, I don't dare to make judgments, but I think tonight, we may have to be careful." You think about this town, it happens to be stuck on the way we have to go back to Xudu City, you say, if you were in that position in Xuyou, would you miss such an opportunity? ”
Lu Ye's expression was also quite flat, obviously not having any big waves in his speculation.
On the other side, You Heng and the others thought for a moment in their minds, and their expressions were also gloomy, and they had to admit that what Lu Ye said was very reasonable.
"The only chance we have now is that Xu Yu didn't receive the news in time, and he didn't know that we had captured one person alive, and he might still think that he was in the shadows and we were in the light. But in reality, the environment in which everyone lives is not very different now. ”
"If you want to win by surprise, maybe there is only one way." The expression on Lu Ye's face did not change, and he looked at You Heng and the others in front of him like this.
"Where is it so simple to win...... by surprise." You Heng also smiled bitterly.
Chen Zhi and the others glanced at each other and shook their heads.
Lu Ye then spread his hands: "In this case, I don't have any good way, we can only cross the river by feeling the stones, and we can walk a few steps." ”
You Heng and the others also nodded, indeed, as Lu Ye said at this time, things have come to such a point now, and they can only be blocked by soldiers, and covered by water.
"I'll bring someone to keep vigil tonight, and you guys have a good rest." At this time, Shi Jian recommended himself and planned to take on the responsibility of the vigil.
Lu Ye nodded, of course he would not have any opinion on such a thing.
Because the vigil should have been arranged by Shi Lian, since Shi Lian had arranged himself, what could Lu Ye say.
"Actually, you don't have to be too careful, just be a little wary and don't fall for any tricks." Lu Ye lowered his voice and said to You Heng and the others.
"I'll check it out when the time comes." Shi Jian also said.
"Then all we can do now is wait for the rabbit."
Lu Ye said.
