Chapter 111: Minyi [First Update]
When it was getting dark, Li Si rode his horse and finally arrived at the folk post that He Zhong said.
In fact, after he left Fengmen County that day, he should have arrived at this place that night, but he encountered several things in a row on the road, but it took several more days to waste.
This is an inn that has been around for some years, and the wood of the main body of the inn has been corroded by time, and it looks a little old, and there are obvious cracks on it.
At this time, the inn was still lit up, obviously someone was there, otherwise Li Si really thought it was just an old house that had been abandoned.
When Li Si rode a horse to the door of this folk post, someone inside had already heard the movement, and an honest-looking old man walked out and greeted Li Si.
"This boy, are you going to rest in the store?" The old man walked to the horse's side, took the reins, and turned back to Li Sidao.
Li Si nodded slightly, turned off the horse, and said, "Just stay in the hotel, how much do you want to stay for a night?" β
Hearing Li Si say this, the old man smiled, and then replied: "The guest room costs fifty wen a night, and if you want to feed the horses, you have to add another twenty-five wen." β
Hearing this man say this, Li Si hummed softly, and then said to the old man: "Prepare a guest room for me, and help me place the horses." β
He had just seen that there was a stable next to the inn, and it was obvious that there was a place for horses.
"Okay, you go to rest first, and I'll arrange a room for you later." The old man smiled innocently, and then led the jujube red horse to the stable.
Seeing the old man leading the horse into the stable, Li Si also walked into the folk post, only to find that there were only three tables left here to sit, and the other tables were already full of stools.
And looking at those tables, there is already a pile of dust, it seems that it has not been used for a long time, and it looks a little desolate.
"Ouch, this guest officer, are you going to stay here?" At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the counter and walked towards Li Si.
This woman was slightly blessed, and her face looked a little kind, no different from the aunt Li Si usually saw.
"Well, yes." Li Si smiled and nodded at the middle-aged woman.
Seeing Li Si nodding, the middle-aged woman also grinned, revealing a mouthful of somewhat yellowed teeth.
"Would you like something to eat? I have some dishes planted in the back of this shop, all of them are fresh, you can go to the vegetable field to have a look. The middle-aged woman said with a smile.
When Li Si heard this person say this, he was slightly surprised, it was the first time he had heard of ordering food.
But he's not hungry now, and he's eaten on the road before. And even if he's hungry, he won't eat indiscriminately.
"No, thank you." Li Si replied politely.
Hearing Li Si say this, the middle-aged woman's eyes showed a hint of strangeness, and then she continued to smile and said, "Okay, I'll show you how the room is first." β
"Okay, then take me to see it." When Li Si heard this person say this, he also readily agreed, he hadn't slept well for a long time.
Now that I have encountered such a place to sleep, I naturally want to sleep well.
The middle-aged woman nodded, then walked over to the counter and picked up the oil lamp on the counter.
"Then I'll take you up." She turned back to Li Si and spoke, then walked upstairs with the oil lamp.
Her steps were a little heavy, stepping on the somewhat old staircase, and from time to time there would be a "rattle" sound, which made Li Si, who was following her, a little doubtful, whether the staircase would be overwhelmed and collapse.
However, what worried Li Si did not happen, and the middle-aged woman still took Li Si upstairs safely.
"There's no one living here now, do you want to stay in the back or in the aisle?" The middle-aged woman turned her head and asked Li Si, her face at this time looked a little flickering under the light of the oil lamp, but it looked a little terrifying.
"Just this one, you open it and take a look." Li Si looked casually, pointed to a room next to him, and said to the middle-aged woman.
When the middle-aged woman heard Li Si say this, she nodded, walked to the door, and opened the room.
After opening the room, Li Si found that the room was a little crowded, with only a bed and a small wooden table, and the bed was neatly arranged with bedding.
There was a teapot and an oil lamp on the wooden table, but it seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time, and the tea set had begun to collect dust.
The scene here, coupled with the fact that there are only three tables in use downstairs, reminds Li Si of the bandit Shu Rong said, it seems that this bandit has been circling here for many days, making people dare not go here, so the business of this Minyi is so bad.
"It's been a long time since I've cleaned it, so you'll just do it." The middle-aged woman said with a hint of apology on her face.
"It's nothing, so be it." Li Si said with a smile, he didn't care much about these things, as long as there was a place to sleep.
The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Si's indifference, and then walked to the small table and lit the oil lamp.
"Then you can rest, guest." The middle-aged woman smiled at Li Si, then walked out of the door and closed the door.
After the middle-aged woman left, Li Si casually cleaned the dust on the futon and lay down.
After lying down, he released Xiao Duan and Xiao Yu to take care of them, and then went to sleep.
And at this time, the middle-aged woman downstairs and the honest-looking old man got together and whispered.
"Dad, this man didn't eat anything from our house." The middle-aged woman whispered to the old man.
When the old man heard him say this, he nodded slightly, and then said lightly: "If you haven't eaten, you haven't eaten, I'll go to his room and give him some ecstasy smoke when I go back, and he'll be at our mercy." β
Hearing the old man say this, the middle-aged woman said with a hesitant look on her face: "Dad, this person dares to go to the rivers and lakes alone, I'm afraid he is a powerful character." β
"Hey......" The old man couldn't help laughing when he heard the middle-aged woman's words, and then saw that his daughter was still hesitant, so he explained: "Although it is at night, I can still see that this person's skin is fair and delicate. β
"I didn't see the appearance of Lian Jiazi from him, and he is also a novice on horseback, I'm afraid that someone's son-in-law ran away secretly."
"Besides, even if you practice the family, my ecstasy smoke, even if it is ten strong men, I can give him seven meat and eight vegetables." The old man had a disapproving look on his face.
When the two of them were talking, they didn't care at all if someone disappeared here, whether any family would come to the door, because the neighborhood has been too chaotic recently, and who would come to find someone at this time.
