Chapter 13 Jianghuai Town

When Su Qing'er heard this, she was stunned for a moment, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head shyly.

Zhou Hao said again: "Then answer or not?" ”

Su Qing'er was also excited, no man had ever been so gentle with her, and nodded gently.

By this time, it was already twilight, and a full moon hung in the sky.

Zhou Hao was excited, hugged Su Qing'er in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, let's point to the moon and worship heaven and earth here." ”

Zhou Hao was suddenly taken aback by what he had just done, this may be a kind of psychological compensation after he was abandoned by his girlfriend, although it is separated by two time and space, it is also a kind of revenge. In a moment, the ambition of building a force and expanding the territory was thrown out of the clouds, and he just wanted to live a happy little life with the woman in front of him for a few days. In this troubled world, the future is uncertain, so let's do it step by step.

At this time, the twilight was everywhere, the sunset was on the mountain, and there was a vast expanse in all directions, Su Qing'er hurriedly said: "Alas, I can't go back, there is still a long distance from Sanglinzi Village." ”

Zhou Hao looked at the sky, and could only say: "Is there a hotel around here?" ”

"There's a river in front of us, and across the river is the town of Whitehorse."

Zhou Hao followed Su Qing'er's direction and looked, there was a small town on the other side of the outskirts of the city, and houses could be seen from time to time.

Zhou Hao said: "How much money do you have now?" ”

Su Qing'er said: "The slave family now has a total of ten copper coins, and the silk they brought was robbed by those thieves. As he spoke, he took it out of his clothes and handed it to Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao gritted his teeth when he heard this, the more he felt that this woman was pitiful, the money was in his hand, and he seemed to have a little body temperature, only to see the copper coin on the outer circle and the inner square read: Chongzhen Tongbao.

It is obviously a currency issued during the Chongzhen period.

Zhou Hao said: "Don't hide it from the lady, I have been in business for several years, and the money is stored in the money bank, and I will take it out tomorrow, which is enough for us to use for a lifetime." ”

Zhou Hao looked at the terrain and knew that he was in the north of Jiangsu, followed Su Qing'er to Baima Town, and by the way, he also took a look at what the northern part of Jiangsu was like more than three hundred years ago, and also took a look at the scenery around the Huai River.

Huai'an is located at the boundary between the north and the south, the rivers are clothed, all the way between the lines, only to see the vertical and horizontal rivers, the stone bridges that are not big or small, from time to time there are people wearing wide robes riding horses, more are rural peasants wearing linen short clothes, driving mules, driving carriages, humming unknown minor tunes along the road. A mile or two further on, is the willow embankment, a very wide river is across in front of Zhou Hao, the sun sets, the river surface is sparkling, a few fishermen are playing a long penny, singing a small tune, is rowing to Zhou Hao's side.

"Are the two on the other side going to take a boat?"

An old man with gray hair shouted in a long voice while exercising a long rod.

Su Qing'er said: "Exactly, old man, how much does it cost to go to the other side?" ”

"One person has one article, two people have two articles."

Zhou Hao said: "Okay, White Horse Town is on the other side, right?" ”

Su Qing'er nodded.

Zhou Hao said: "Okay, let's sit down." ”

Sitting on a boat that is not very large, Zhou Hao looked at the river, the flowing water made Zhou Hao a little dizzy, and always felt that this small boat was overturned by the water, and looked back at Su Qing'er, only to see Su Qing'er staring at himself with affection, seeing Zhou Hao suddenly turn around, he instinctively turned his head shyly, and the old man said: "This Xianggong is from the north, it seems that he has never been on a boat, don't look at the river, it will pass after a while." ”

Good eyesight, this guy saw that I was a little dizzy on the river, so Zhou Hao turned around.

Su Qing'er said: "Childe, you will soon be on the other side." ”

Looking at the not wide river, Zhou Hao felt that this section was so long. As soon as the boat landed, Zhou Hao went ashore and was about to pull Su Qing'er back, but he didn't expect Su Qing'er to jump ashore very smartly, it seems that he is used to taking boats often. Su Qing'er took out two copper coins and handed them to the old man, who took them and said, "Let's go." So he went away.

Along the willow embankment, the two walked all the way, basically all white walls and blue tile houses, a school of Jiangnan architectural style, compared with modern Jiangsu, there are no high-rise buildings and asphalt roads, brick houses have not changed much in the past three hundred years, in this way, Zhou Hao has a little adaptation. Although the Huaihe River is located at the boundary between the north and the south, with the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the north-south exchanges have been strengthened, and the humanistic buildings here tend to be more in the south of the Yangtze River.

A town-like building complex appeared in Zhou Hao's eyes, and Su Qing'er pointed to the front and said, "That's White Horse Town." ”

Zhou Hao wanted to take Su Qing'er's hand, but then he thought about it, it seemed that something was inappropriate, so he stretched out his hand back, sped up his steps, and soon arrived in the town.

The long street of bluestone slabs, under the eaves on both sides, there are all kinds of cloth banners, some write tea, some write wine, all some grocery stores, and from time to time there are a few restaurants, at dusk, a few lanterns hanging under the eaves are lit, the dim light is swaying in the autumn wind, a few shopkeepers sit on the chairs at the door, their hands are in their sleeves, waiting for business.

Zhou Hao looked up, the sky was getting late, twilight was rising, and a waning moon rose from the east, so he said, "Where is the inn in this town?" ”

Su Qing'er said: "The inn costs five cents a night." ”

Zhou Hao smiled, gently stopped Su Qing'er with his right hand, and said, "It's so late, Wuwen is Wuwen." ”

Su Qing'er hugged Zhou Hao and said softly, "I listen to you." ”

Zhou Hao looked at Su Qing'er's crimson and shy face, and couldn't help but kiss it.

After eating, Zhou Hao followed Su Qing'er to the depths of the street, and a small building about two stories high appeared in front of him, with a yellow banner swaying in the wind, and it read: Xiangyun Inn.

Zhou Hao pulled Su Qing'er's hand and stepped in alone.

As soon as the boss saw the guests coming, he got up from the counter and said, "Are the two guest officers sharpening or staying in the hotel?" ”

"Stay in the hotel."

"Now there's only one room, you can see ...... two"

Zhou Hao and Su Qing'er looked at each other, and Zhou Hao said, "One is just one." ”

Su Qing'er lowered her head shyly.

"Okay, it's ten cents in total, and it's number A on the second floor."

Zhou Hao faced such a beauty, although he couldn't bear his **, but after all, he had just met for a short time, and out of courtesy, the two slept on one side of the bed.

His own box is in the house, Zhou Hao is very relieved, in case a thief burglarizes, once the box is stolen, it will be over, Zhou Hao has to open one eye, close one eye, and half-asleep until dawn.

Su Qing'er is actually the same as Zhou Hao, and she has almost never slept all night, but Zhou Hao is cautious, while Su Qing'er is emotional, and her heart fluctuates.

As soon as the morning dawned, Su Qing'er took Zhou Hao to Xiaosang Linzi Village.
