Tonight's strong wind is followed by heavy rain, and it is said that the autumn rain is continuous, but since the beginning of autumn this year, several heavy rains have not seen the slightest sense of continuity, and they have come violently in time, and there is no warning.

This is a bitter Xia Shang who went out of the city to find breeding sheep.

When they left Chang'an and arrived at the nearest village called Fangcun in Chang'an, it was already dusk, and when Xia Shang and Xu Yuan were looking for a better breeder in the village, the strong wind came.

The wind was fierce, and there were many sand and gravels in the village, and all kinds of sundries rolled up in the air and hit the face painfully. The two had to find a nearby farmhouse to take refuge, thinking that they would wait for the wind to stop before going around. After waiting for a long time, the wind did not stop, but a torrential rain came.

Xia Shang's farmhouse seems to be quite wealthy, there is a fence yard in front, a fence yard in the back, chickens and ducks are raised in the back fence yard and no sheep, the fence yard in front is a tea stall decoration, with a shed, and the yard is a table and chair for people to rest, and a person only needs a penny for a mouthful of tea. Although the business is small, there are many people passing by here, and there are often no seats. For this reason, the farmer also vacated the house and opened it into a post house, even sold the land, and started a small business.

Fortunately, there are not too many people today.

As soon as the wind blew and the raindrops fell, Xia Shang and Xu Yuan were called into the house by the old farmer in a panic, and then they and their families hurriedly put away the tables, chairs and sheds outside.

The room is also spacious, although it is a little older.

The wind creaked the door, and the raindrops drifted into the house, Xia Shang and Xu Yuan hurriedly hid in the innermost, and finally sat down after a panic. The two looked at each other speechless and smiled bitterly, Xia Shang shook his head: "I'm afraid I only have to rest here for one night today." ”

Xu Yuan took off the towel and sorted out the hair that was blown by the wind, and at this moment she had revealed her daughter's posture, and if she didn't tidy it up, she was afraid that she would be seen through.

"I also said that I would go to the next village tomorrow to have a look, I guess it will be a little difficult."

"Yes."

Now there is no one else in the farmer's house, and a few people who are drinking tea in the courtyard are all from the same village, and when they see the wind, they all go back to their respective homes, and now only two people are left in the house. The outer yard of the farmer should be tidied up, and the chickens and ducks in the backyard should also be transferred quickly, and no one greeted the two for a while, and there was nothing else around except the sound of wind and rain. After calming down, the two people sitting opposite each other didn't seem to know what to say.

After being silent for a long time, Xia Shang felt a little embarrassed, and the farmer finally finished everything and returned to the house.

The old farmer looked at the clothes of the two and asked softly, "The two are from Chang'an, right?" ”

Xia Shang nodded.

The old farmer looked at the sky and shook his head: "I'm afraid that today is only for the old farmer to spend the night." A one-bed room costs 30 yuan, and a two-bed room costs 40 yuan. ”

"We're going to have two beds."

Before Xia Shang's words fell, Xu Yuan next to him interrupted: "We want two rooms and one bed." ”

"Two?" The old farmer looked at the two of them, a little incomprehensible.

Xu Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he calmly took out the money bag: "Farmer, even if you tidy up the room, as long as the money is enough, is it fine?" ”

"That's right. But......" the old farmer hesitated, "the old farmer has only two rooms here, one with one bed and one with two beds. ”

"Then we want a two-bed room."

"We want both."

It was a completely different answer, and the woman behind the old peasant was snickering. Xu Yuan looked at Xia Shang with interest, but he was not shy, his cunning eyes seemed to tell Xia Shang not to be naughty anymore.

Xia Shang touched his nose amusedly, he didn't really want to live with Xu Yuan, but to alleviate the previous embarrassment. Xu Yuan was not a little girl, and she could see at a glance that Xia Shang was amused, so her face was full of smiles.

The old farmer didn't say much more, and was about to collect the money, but a series of hurried footsteps came from outside getting closer and closer, and suddenly three people rushed in.

The three men were choked by the rain, and their clothes were covered with water, as if they had just come out of the river.

"Farmer, wait for me two rooms."

The old farmer was a little embarrassed: "This ...... The two of them had already asked for the room just now. There are only two rooms in the shop, and these two asked for two. So ......"

"Two for two? Two brothers, look at this rain, can you let one out? We don't have to go out now, we can have a room. ”

Xia Shang looked at Xu Yuan, and Xu Yuan's face was a little embarrassed at this time.

The rain outside was getting louder and louder, and the ground in the farmhouse was gradually getting damp, and at this time, Xu Yuan really couldn't let Xu Yuan think too much: "Okay, let's have one." ”

The farmer asked, "Do you want a one-bed room or a two-bed room?" ”

There are only two people in Xia Shang, and there are three people who came, so no matter how you look at it, you should ask for a one-bed room.

But Xu Yuan is a woman, which is a bit difficult.

Xia Shang didn't dare to speak, this matter had to be decided by Xu Yuan, otherwise he would have to blame himself for a misunderstanding in the future.

It is estimated that Xu Yuan has never encountered such a difficult situation, and her expression is a little stiff, but in the end she can only agree to ask for a one-bed room.

Later, the three of them thanked Xu Yuan repeatedly, and then hurried to the guest room, not forgetting to ask the old farmer to boil a basin of hot water.

Xia Shang was worried about Xu Yuan's embarrassment, and wanted to say that he would sleep on the ground later, but before he could speak, he saw that Xu Yuan's face was wrong, and that kind of scene was not like embarrassment or shyness, but because of surprise and surprise.

Xu Yuan hurriedly tugged at Xia Shang's sleeve, and then glanced in the direction where the three of them left.

Xia Shang turned his head to look, but he didn't see anything, and the three of them had already entered the room.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Yuan seemed a little nervous, and swallowed with difficulty: "I...... I would have liked to see that one of those three was a woman, dressed in men's clothes like me. And...... And I felt the man struggling, while the two men in front of me seemed to be holding her down. Little Master, I'm afraid they're kidnappers. ”

Xia Shang was stunned for a moment, he hadn't paid attention to this, but when he heard Xu Yuan say it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the three people before, because when they were talking, the two people in front blocked the one behind them, and only let the last person leak half of his head from beginning to end.

Looking at Xu Yuan's expression again, I think what she just saw would not be wrong.

Xia Shang made a silent gesture to Xu Yuan: "Whether it's true or not, let's go into the house first." ”

The farmer's two guest rooms were side by side, with only one wall in between, and the house Xia Shang lived in really only had one bed, and the two of them could barely cope with it. Now Xu Yuan has no mind to sleep, her mind is on the three people next door, she first stuck to the wall and listened for a while, and then gave up after finding that she couldn't hear the movement, and then asked Xia Shang if he could think of a way.

Xia Shang was quite helpless, he knew that it was not Xu Yuan's ancient way, and people living in ancient times were no different from modern people, and they couldn't avoid troubles or potential threats. Xia Shang didn't believe that Xu Yuan, who was sixty out of twenty, was a little girl who was carried away by a sense of justice, and this kind of thankless task had to be intervened, she did this just to avoid embarrassment when sleeping.

Xia Shang is not a stunned young man, how can he worry about this kind of thing that he doesn't even know the identity of the other party?

So, Xia Shang calmly pointed to the ground: "Don't worry, I'll sleep on the ground tonight." ”
