The location of the inn is too weird, there is a cliff on the back, the inn is built close to the cliff, standing in front of it and thinking that it is just located on a flat land, but in fact, it is not built along the steep slope, the whole cloud climbing inn.

The rain stopped, and at this moment, it slid down the blue bricks and stone tiles, dropping one by one, and gathered into a small column of water and flowed down. The door and window were left open a little, and I told them to stay outside, and I pushed open the half-hidden door and entered.

The lobby is very spacious, the tables and chairs in the hall are free, and the chairs and benches are still on the table, the Buddha has isolated this inn from this door, the outside is noisy and dusty, as long as the inn is almost full, it seems that there is no concern about the guests here, and the running axis of the inn is nothing more than the guests, without guests, what is the significance of their inn opening?

At this moment, I only saw a person dozing off on his stomach at the counter.

I adjusted the brim of my hat and walked slowly towards him, and before I could get close to him, he woke up yawning, stretching, rubbing his hazy eyes, but he didn't seem to see me at all, just like an idler who had just woken up from a lazy sleep.

"Ah~"

The quiet environment sounded his yawn, very unreasonable, this kind of environment will be a dangerous ambush place from the perspective of people, but perhaps in the eyes of others, this is the ideal paradise in their hearts, and the idea of people who have no quarrel with the world is naturally self-evident.

"Yo, guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

It was only after a while that he noticed me standing there and looking around, and when I heard the voice, I turned my head to look at him, and walked over, and a bag of gold slapped on his counter, and leaned against the carved pillar with my hands folded, and turned my face to him, and said:

"Staying in the hotel, how many empty rooms there are in this inn, I have booked them all. ”

He didn't have any other color on his face, but when he heard me say this, he looked at me from beginning to end several times, and finally he came out and stood in front of me.

"Guest officer, I'm afraid I can't meet your small requirements, there are a lot of empty rooms in this inn, but you don't know, why are you here!"

Then his voice began to be deliberately muffled, and he hunched his back and leaned into my ear and whispered:

"There was a proprietress who made a rule that no outsiders were allowed to stay. ”

"What kind of rule, isn't the opening of the inn just to welcome guests, sitting and collecting money? She built such a big inn, and the co-authoring was put as a treasure to watch?"

"You don't know this, why our proprietress is not such a boring person, on the contrary, the rules she has set are famous in the rivers and lakes, why do you climb the cloud inn, but not ordinary people can stay. It's not impossible for you to want to stay, unless you can bring any of the herbs in the order issued by her, if you can bring it, you don't accept any money, and all your consumption in this inn is covered by the proprietress, the people who have come here over the years are all desperate people in the rivers and lakes, or they are important criminals who have spent a lot of money to arrest them, and they have come here to seek protection, in order to change their faces and regain their lives. ”

This inn has such rules, I have never known this, from the mouth of the shopkeeper, what Jianghu order, what medicinal materials, what to commit, what desperate people come here to change their appearance and get a new life?

And I came here just to seek a night's rest, and I didn't even think about it now.

The shopkeeper's godly words matched his facial expression, I believed him without question, looking at the empty surroundings, the shopkeeper was so tired that when he saw that I didn't speak, he actually began to stretch his waist and yawn again.

"It's boring, it's boring, since the guest officer doesn't have what the boss wants, I think you better leave as soon as possible and find another place." ”

I looked at his back, his body was long and petite, his body was slender, and his neck was exposed at the back and its slenderness, and for a moment, the thoughts in my head blurted out.

"Stop, hostess, just ask me what you want, my brothers are still standing outside in the rain, and I don't think you're a very unreasonable person, and you're on the next night. The medicinal materials you want, as long as you are tonight, even if you are in the middle of the world, you will find all the medicinal materials for you and offer them with both hands. ”

There was a moment of silence in the air, and she just stood there, not turning her head. After hearing my words, her shoulders began to shake, her head gradually lowered, and there was no sound, and her strangeness made me wary, after all, this woman was eccentric, and did not seem to be a good person.

"Hahaha, hahahaha. ”

It turned out that her whole body was shaking with laughter, and when she turned around, she was already laughing so much that she covered her stomach and her eyes narrowed.

"Are you going to laugh at me to death? Objectively, you look at my rough voice, and your face is yellow, saying that I am a woman? Where do you get the confidence? It is not your hoarse voice, otherwise look at your body, this face, a small bold sentence, on the contrary, it is not that I look like a woman, you are more like a woman. ”

"Why don't you sell each other the bosses, since I can't keep you here, I will say goodbye to you, what woman is not a woman, the boss lady is insulting the lower body is too short?"

After saying that, I got up and left, stretched out my hand and pulled the brim of my hat down, I couldn't stay at it, I hurried tonight, and I could reach the capital tomorrow, if it wasn't for the hard work of these people on foot, we wouldn't have to stay here for one night.

Such a strange person, a strange inn, it doesn't matter if you don't live in it, and then there will be something wrong with the candle, since this is the case, it is better not to live.

In the end, although I had some regrets, I walked out without any thoughts. But when I came out, I found that all the brothers I had commanded to stand there had disappeared. Even if there is no trace of the geese, there are still footprints of the people, and all of a sudden they all disappear out of thin air.

Stunned, shocked, doubtful, conjecture, anyway, all kinds of messy ideas came into my head, buzzing in my ears, at this moment I can no longer hold on to fall on the rain-soaked bluestone road, I have not eaten for many days, long journeys, over mountains and rivers, how much suffering along the way, I still think too simply, this body has long been unbearable, these days it is all supported by my extraordinary willpower.

Before I fell to the ground, I blamed myself, I was ashamed, I was sorry for my brother's thoughts, all my thoughts were squeezed into my brain, my consciousness had long been scattered, and my eyes were still stubbornly open, trying to struggle to get up.

In the end, I struggled to be so powerless, until the last moment I closed my eyes, two pairs of black boots in front of me came into view, trying my best to raise my eyes to see the face of the visitor, but the blurred appearance finally failed to see clearly.

The people who came, a man and a woman, the woman had a white veil on her head, and the man was wearing a half-mask, which could only cover half of his eyes, and he saw me lying on my side on the ground, because I couldn't see my face clearly with a mask, and they only stopped for a while. Then you have to enter the inn.

The cloudy sky rumbled, and the sky in the distance was full of lightning, as if a rainstorm was about to hit the next moment. Drops of water fell down the tiles and onto my body, wetting all my clothes.

The man in black led the woman into the inn, and the shopkeeper was beating the dust around with a feather duster on the counter, whispering a pleasant ballad, and when he heard the approaching footsteps, he did not turn to welcome the visitor.

"The wind is looking forward to it, the song is bursting, and the triumphant song has not been heard, the ancient autumn is sad, people have been away for more than eight years, the letter has never arrived, the news is unknown, every night to cry alone, the crows are singing, it makes people cry sadly!

Light lovesickness, appealing to the heart, twilight can be known from the song. Looking at the mountains and rivers, the green silk plate, you are like time is gone. ”

The two people who had just come in heard the song and looked at each other, but they were speechless on the other side, and they stood three steps away from the counter.

Looking at the joyful I said:

"But there's room available?"

"Yes, there is, but the guest officer can't stand you, everyone who comes here knows the rules set by the boss, I don't know if you can bring what the boss wants?"

The man took off the burden he was carrying from his shoulders, and opened the coarse cloth package with both hands, and inside was the two medicinal herbs mentioned in the Jianghu Order, glowing with faint green medicinal herbs, very fresh.

When the shopkeeper saw the medicinal herbs, his eyes lit up, he put away the baggage, put it in the back, and faced the man and woman with a smile.

"Guest officer, please go with the little one. ”

"I don't know where the boss lady is, and your Excellency must not lie, in the next two people came this time, there is something important to ask the boss lady, and I implore you to inform the boss lady. ”

The shopkeeper put the white handkerchief on his shoulder, and his face was expressionless for a moment, but the next second he immediately smiled, and said with a smile:

"Guest, the rules of the proprietress must be known as long as the people of the rivers and lakes know, the number of people who come to the inn every month is countless, and the people who ask for each other also come and go, never again, the things that are sought, no accidents, are 100,000 urgent things, but the proprietress can only go out to meet the guests on the fifteenth of each month, and do not see each other at any other time, the guest officer, your requirements can not be satisfied, since your sincerity has been brought, the small must bring your words to the proprietress to the boss, but to the proprietress out of the customs, the small can not help, let's go, the small lead the two to rest, wait patiently for three days, that is, the fifteenth, when there are any requirements, even if you mention, how can the proprietress be satisfied with the twoDo you think this arrangement is okay?"

Every sentence is reasonable, but also said that the rules are standing in front, want to make an exception alone, neither outstanding, nor any friendship at all, although to meet the requirements of the stay, but also that little thing is far from allowing the proprietress to go out of the customs for this.

The man was stunned, and hugged the woman distressedly, the shopkeeper saw all these details in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, and there were no other superfluous words, the woman was obviously mentally prepared, she shook her head and signaled that she was fine.

Only then did the man speak, "Please lead the way." ”

I lost consciousness and fainted to the ground, if I can't meet someone who is willing to help, according to my physical condition, I am afraid that tonight, the cold will enter my body, and I will definitely die.
