Text: One of the extras, Dugu Broken (II)
There are not many people who return to the city late, since there are not many people, there are not many people in the city who sell 'meat' and vegetables, wine and laughter, restaurants and teahouses, and snack vendors. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast.
The only place that can be called an inn was originally converted as a horse farm in the city. Since it is a horse farm, there is naturally no attic, all of them are flat-roofed houses of all 'color', the windows are open to half the size of the wall, and the difference with the gazebo is roughly that one is a spire and the other is a flat roof, a corner of the place occupies a large area, and a corner of the place occupies a small area.
Can people live in such a house?
Of course, you can live in people, but since you can raise horses, why can't you live in people?
It's just that when the wind blows or at night, you need to close the 'doors' and windows tightly, and then block a few more sheepskins in the house to keep out the cold. Because of this, once the 'door' is closed and the sheepskin is covered, it is difficult for the people in the house to hear or see what is happening outside and what noise there is.
Similarly, because the sheepskin in the house is also hidden behind the windows, it is almost futile for people outside to see if the lights are lit and if anyone is asleep.
The inn is called "Rainy Day Shuke", the shopkeeper who gave this name probably felt that there was no business on weekdays was really unreasonable, and it was a psychological comfort to give such a name - there were few guests, and it was normal for fewer guests to be less, who was still running on the street in heavy rain!
He didn't expect that even when it was raining, someone would insist on running outside when they should be running.
On a rare thunderstorm night, hundreds of horse thieves surrounded the inn, robbed not only the silver, but also "robbed" the innkeeper's life.
Counting up, it was less than a year since that incident, but the current shopkeeper has reached the seventh place.
Just when Fang Dugu and Diyin came, the shopkeeper was still short and chubby, but after a while, he had become thin and tall. Of course, this is not to say that this person's ability to disguise is amazing, but because the original short and fat shopkeeper has already been lying on the kitchen board at this time, becoming a pile of fresh raw 'meat'.
"The three leaders are here!" The tall and thin shopkeeper occasionally looked up and looked out, and saw a person coming in with his head down, and hurriedly ran up from behind the counter, and said attentively: "The big boss and the second boss have ordered you to come tonight......"
"I know." The person who comes is the 'flower' late. She frowned slightly and interrupted the tall and thin man's words, but her eyes didn't even look at him, and she carefully looked around to confirm that it was not the two who deliberately tricked her, and then she spoke again: "How many people? ”
"Eleven." The "shopkeeper" is not slightly dissatisfied because of the "milk" poisonous attitude of the "flower" language, no matter what the high-level battles are, he is just a messenger and a worker, where is the difference between what should and should not be done?
Seeing that 'Hua' was silent, he continued to explain: "Four of the eleven people live alone, two rooms for two people, and three people live in one room. ”
"What else?" After listening to the words of 'flower' for a long time, he frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with the people staying in the hotel tonight. Of course, those who do her line of work know that those who come to this city must not be simple people, and those who dare to spend the night in the city must have something to rely on.
However, 'Hua' Yuchi is not only concerned about this, she has always been different from other horse thieves, she only takes money to rob goods, and never kills people easily - if the other party happens to bring a 'female' dependent, orphaned and young, she will ask for less.
The temporary shopkeeper naturally understood her style, and lowered his head and responded: "Room B is a family of three, there is a child of six or seven years old, there is an old man in room Ji, and finally the man in room Geng also brought a small · · Jiao·· Mother......"
"Isn't there anyone else around?" 'Hua' asked again after nodding his head.
"No...... Today, the people dispersed earlier, and it didn't take much time to clear the site. When the shopkeeper said this, he suddenly remembered something in his heart, and said, "Speaking of which, the one who has come tonight ......."
"Huh?" Hearing that there seemed to be something abnormal in the shopkeeper's tone, 'Hua' Yuchi was alert in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"This ...... Also...... There's nothing wrong with it......" The other party sneered again: "I heard that the imperial court has noticed the matter on our side, and is ready to send troops to encircle and suppress it in the near future...... The subordinates just thought of this, but after thinking about it, it shouldn't be so fast, and besides, the brothers on the periphery also sent a message back this morning saying that there is nothing abnormal for the time being......"
"Hmm...... I did hear about it. "Hearing what the other party said, 'Hua' Yuchi's heart was a little relieved, and she also knew about the imperial court sending troops to encircle and suppress horse thieves, but it was not the reason why she wanted to do it alone to earn some silver. After making this vote, she packed up her things and left, regardless of whether anyone came to the court or not, just don't run into those two people.
"Beware of a little more...... "She had already raised her sword and was about to go to the backyard - as I said before, this is different from ordinary inns, other inns are upstairs and downstairs, but here is the front yard and the back yard, the front yard is the counter, and the back yard is the guest room.
Seeing her enter the backyard, one of the shopkeepers' cat jumped out of the 'door', and carefully took the big 'door' through and locked it before leaving. For those of them who know how to work hard, a 'door' doesn't do much, and for those who are ordinary people, this lock can still cost them some work.
The huge horse farm is only twelve of them at this time.
There are ten guest rooms, which are arranged from north to south in the order of the heavenly stems, the southernmost three are not occupied, and the first seven rooms are only faint because of the felts placed in the inside, which saves her the trouble of hiding her body.
It stands to reason that 'Hua' Yu needs to go to one of the rooms when she enters the backyard late, and in fact she did this at first, but after only a few steps, she stopped, and stood in the middle of the courtyard with a frown, her hand pressing the hilt of her sword at some point, and it seemed that she would draw her sword at any moment.
"Hehe, if no one comes, I'll freeze outside, old man."
Hearing someone speak, the 'flower' language was relaxed, and his heart relaxed, and he said in his heart: It's really a little unusual......
From the moment she was admitted to the hospital, she felt that something was wrong, and by the time she reached the middle of the courtyard, she had already determined that there must be something strange in it, but she was not sure where this "weirdness" came from, so her expression was solemn. At this time, someone spoke, but it seemed to solve the mystery, so that the suspicion in her heart was confirmed, and the suspicion was solved.
In this case, there is a lot to say about the rest, whether it is killing people or hurting people, since she is here, she can't go back empty-handed, even if she just takes the road money and leaves, she must not go on the road without a little silver.
Having made up her mind in her heart, she used a slight force in her hand, and the sword was already cold and faint.
At this time, after only listening to the six soft sounds of "oh", the A, B, C, D, E, and Ji rooms were opened one by one, and more or less, one to three people walked out without waiting for her, and everyone stared at her, but after a few steps, a circle was formed.
In addition to the old man who called himself "old man" before, there was another child after the nine people in front of Hua Yuchi.
No, not children! Although he was dressed as a child, and even had a windmill whirring in his hand, Hua Yuchi could see at first glance that it was just a dwarf disguised as a child!
At this moment, he was different from others, and he was smiling at 'Hua' Yuchi, which made 'Hua' Yuchi feel a little irritable.
"Oh? Is this the streamer sword? "Different from the state of the previous people, the old man behind her was attracted by the sword in the hand of 'Hua' Yuchi at this time.
"Yes, exactly." Seeing that the other party knew "Streamer", 'Hua' Yuchi was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't deny it, but he was thinking that although his sword had some fame, it didn't reach the point where everyone knew it, and these people could see this sword at a glance, so they would naturally know who they were......
Sure enough. Seeing her admit it herself, the old man chuckled twice, and approached 'Hua' Yuchi as he walked, and did not stop until he reached a foot behind her. Being able to stand at such a close distance without being wary can at least show that the other party has no malicious intent towards the 'flower' language.
"Since it's a streamer sword, then there is no doubt that you are Miss Yuchi, you all put away your weapons." The old man chuckled and said, and with a wave of his hand, the nine people on the other side all put away their weapons as they said. The other person's weapon 'flower' was not seen for a long time, but the dwarf put away the windmill in his hand, and he didn't know how he did it, but in the blink of an eye, the windmill turned into a 'wave' drum in his hand...... Maybe there's some kind of mechanism in it......
"You...... You know me? "Suspicious in his heart, 'Hua' Yu Chi turned sideways and asked the old man behind him. Only then did she see the old man's appearance, but this old man was no different from ordinary old men, but he looked more ruddy and more spiritual.
"I've never met, but I've heard of it." The old man nodded and said, "Old Yan Huibin, I've seen Miss Yuchi." After speaking, he bowed slightly to 'Hua' and said.
"...... are you" 'Hua' became a little overwhelmed, she hadn't heard of this "Yan Huibin", the key is that the atmosphere of this scene is indescribably funny at this time: Fang Cai is still a tense look, why does it seem to be a misunderstanding at this moment?
"Speaking of which, you don't seem to have seen me......" Yan Huibin probably guessed the reason for the hesitation and confusion of the 'flower' language, and said with a smile: "I am a person from the imperial court, and I was just promoted to a handsome ...... of blue 'flower' a few days ago."
"Treadsome?" For "Qing'hua' handsome", 'Hua' Yuchi didn't know what it was, but she knew what "stepping part" did, and when she only heard this word, her whole body was like a heavy blow, and her face 'color' instantly became complicated: "Also...... That is to say......"
"I don't know what you mean...... Yan Huibin pretended not to know, and said unhurriedly: "I came here on the order of Lord She to encircle and suppress the horse thieves here, I didn't expect that the person who entered this game tonight would be you......"
"She Qing sent you...... Nothing else? Hearing this, 'Hua' Yu was late and relieved a little: as long as there is nothing else, it is still too late for her to leave now......
"Nothing else...... ......" Yan Huibin frowned and pondered, but the tone of his answer seemed too uncertain.
"That...... That person didn't come? I don't know why, when she asked this sentence, she didn't have the answer she wanted for a while...... In other words, she herself doesn't know whether the other party is good or not.
"Lord She is entangled in official business, and he rarely ...... in person"
"I didn't mean him!" 'Hua' was slightly angry, and when he saw that the other party looked at him with an innocent look, he blushed and lowered his head: "Dugu is broken...... Lonely and broken...... Yes! ”
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a force of gravity attacking her, and before she could make any movements, the huge force had already invaded her body, and the expected flight out did not appear, but the whole body was tightly clamped, except for the emergency shout "Ah", there was no strength to make other sounds.
"Haha, caught it!" She was angry in her heart, but suddenly she heard someone shouting merrily, and she didn't need to see the person to make out who it was.
"Sister Yuchi, how is it, you can't run away this time, right? I'll just say it's a good place to go back to the city late......" Diyin said behind the two of them with a smile, urging others as he spoke: "Go away, go away, you don't need to bother here......
"Huh...... Lord She had already instructed that we didn't need to 'intervene', and it was just a misunderstanding......" Yan Huibin smiled awkwardly, and beckoned to the other nine people: "Gather people, Fang Cai's bureau has been broken, and it is estimated that the wind has been heard outside, so it can only be faced." ”
While talking, he led everyone out, and after a while, he heard a sound of gold and iron 'crossing' and miserable howls outside.
"You...... After all, I found it. She felt the strength of the person behind her, and although it was a little difficult to breathe, her heart was indescribably relaxed.
"Hmm......" Dugu nodded, as if realizing that 'Hua' couldn't see him for a long time, so he answered softly.
"I ...... I've heard that you don't stutter anymore......" Obviously afraid that she didn't know what to say, but one question after another appeared in her mind, and she picked one of her own interests to ask.
"I don't think it's any good...... It's the same as not being used to talking......" Dugu was slightly stunned, but still replied truthfully.
After that, there was silence. The flute on the side couldn't help but be anxious when he looked at it, shouldn't these two people just squirm all night?
"You...... Don't run anymore? After all, Dugu asked.
"I was going to get some money and then go......"
"Where do you go after taking the fare?"
"There is no decision...... Probably going east. "'Flower' said after thinking about it.
"I ...... We're going to head east, so why don't we go together? Dugu said this, probably because he was nervous, and unconsciously, the strength in his hands seemed to be greater.
"It's okay......" 'Hua' replied lately, and after speaking, he said with a little difficulty: "You relax a little ......"
"Huh?" Dugu denied it: "I ...... I'm not nervous in the first place......"
"Bastard, I'm letting you loosen your hand a little, and you're going to strangle me with a little more force!"
