Chapter 255: There is someone behind it
Sure enough, after hearing what the man said, the officers and soldiers who were originally guarding outside and were about to break into the inn room immediately stopped and looked at the man with burning eyes.
Pointing inside, he whispered the corners of his lips and said, "You mean, it's your wife inside?" ”
The man pursed his lips lightly, obviously stunned, but nodded again, but the shopkeeper on the side was already stunned.
Obviously, I saw them just now, and I obviously didn't know anyone, why did I become husband and wife again in the blink of an eye? However, pretend to be a husband and wife, he is only responsible for opening an inn here, and he is only responsible for the cashier.
So, the shopkeeper drooped his head and stood aside, originally not intending to speak, let alone participating in this matter.
The officers and soldiers curled the corners of their lips slightly, suddenly turned their heads, looked at the shopkeeper beside him, and pointed to the tall man: "Shopkeeper, is what he said the truth?" ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper's face turned pale, he was stunned for a moment, but nodded again, and the officers and soldiers opened their thin lips more obviously: "Since what you said is the truth, how can you open two rooms?" ”
"It's because ,......" The shopkeeper's face stopped talking, but soon saw the chief's urging face, so he could only shake his head: "I don't know about this little one, but I just received two cashiers, so I arranged two rooms for them." ”
The chief then stood aside, his eyes like a torch, pondered for a moment, then turned to the man who took the initiative, and then looked at the shopkeeper who only had silver taels in his eyes.
For a while, he began to hesitate.
Seeing that the official was not in a hurry to break in like just now, the man added: "My wife is suffering from the cold, but some people in the village say that it looks like smallpox, so I have opened two separate rooms with her. ”
As soon as they heard about the "smallpox," the officers and men present turned pale, and although they hesitated a few steps back, they still stood in place.
At that time, Su Yueshi was standing in the room, and suddenly heard the movement outside the door, and listened to the conversation one by one, and actually curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and coughed lightly.
Hearing the obvious coughing movement coming from inside, and thinking about the "smallpox" that the man had just said, the officers and soldiers could no longer hold back, turned around, and just cursed "Damn it," and turned away.
Just after the officers and soldiers left, the shopkeeper was still stunned, and the tall man on the side was about to leave, but the shopkeeper stopped him behind him and pointed to the room inside: "That, what you just said is true?" That's really your daughter-in-law, oh no, I mean, she really got smallpox? ”
The shopkeeper said with a trembling face, the tall man hesitated, he just saw the woman just now, and he didn't seem to want to expose himself, so he would stand up like this at the critical moment to solve the siege.
The rest, he didn't think much of it, so he curled the corners of his lips slightly, and was about to say something, when a strong and obvious cough came from inside again.
The shopkeeper's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions, but arched his hands lightly and said, "Then, please leave at dawn tomorrow." This is the capital. ”
The implication of the shopkeeper is that this is the capital, and it is not easy to survive, if it is reported to people, there are people here who have smallpox, and it is estimated that it will be even more difficult in the future. Since he can't afford to provoke him, can't he still hide?
The tall man originally got up to leave, but seeing the shopkeeper's weeping and sad expression surprised her, and he was about to say something at the corner of his lips, but suddenly he heard a strong and obvious cough from inside.
"The shopkeeper wants us to leave?" Before the man could speak, Su Yueshi took the lead and said.
The shopkeeper was stunned and nodded: "Exactly." Hurry up, or someone will pick you up tomorrow. ”
"How dare you threaten? Then I won't leave, and tomorrow everyone in the capital will know that I have smallpox, and I will stay at your inn!" As soon as Su Yueshi finished speaking, the innkeeper's face turned even paler.
stamped his feet anxiously, shook his arms lightly, and said, "Grandma, you can't afford to provoke, can't you hide?" Well, even if you are unlucky, you make your conditions, as long as you can get out of here, I promise you! ”
The shopkeeper's eyebrows were horizontal, and he said lightly with thin lips.
"Okay," Su Yueshi coughed, "go and prepare a horse for me, and ask for the best of your books, and a hundred taels of silver." Nothing less will work, otherwise my man and I won't leave tomorrow! ”
Su Yueshi said with a whirring expression, although she just said it casually, but the obedient person had a heart.
The shopkeeper nodded continuously, praised it in his mouth, and hurriedly went to prepare.
But it was the tall man who suddenly stopped and did not leave.
Seeing the figure of the tall man, Su Yueshi's face was full of surprise, and she blinked her eyes lightly: "Why don't you leave?" ”
The tall man was about to respond, Su Yueshi suddenly pursed her thin lips, as if she thought of something, a smile appeared on her lips, she patted her head and said, "Oh, that's right." I almost forgot, you live next door. ”
As he spoke, he was about to return to the room and close the door again, but who expected that the tall man suddenly looked at her in a daze, and stopped her: "By the way, what's your name?" ”
Unexpectedly, the other party would suddenly ask herself, Su Yueshi blinked her eyes lightly, pondered for a moment and said, "My surname is Su, you are called Yueshi." ”
"Innis? Sure enough, it's a good name," the tall man whispered for a moment, curling the corners of his lips.
Although Su Yueshi was not used to telling her real name to a stranger she didn't know, she subconsciously frowned slightly.
But perhaps it was because he saw Su Yueshi's silence, or maybe he was afraid that she would be too careful, the tall man muttered to himself in a low voice: "Hello, I'm Hua Tangyue." ”
"Hua Tang Yue?" Su Yueshi blinked her eyes lightly, but the other party shook her head with some regret and said, "No, my surname is Hua." ”
"Flower Tang Yue?" Su Yueshi was stunned for a moment, inadvertently sneered, and almost laughed off her back molars, and the man's expression became even more solemn, as if he was invisibly saying something ridiculous.
Su Yueshi didn't pay attention to him, but covered the corners of her mouth, and said with a light smile: "No, it's actually nothing." I just think Hua Tangyue, why does it sound like a girl's name? ”
Hua Tangyue's expression was grim, but she frowned, and deliberately pretended to be a little angry and said: "I don't know much about this, maybe I'm afraid that I won't be able to support it." That's why my mother gave me such a name. ”
