Chapter 32: A Few Signs
Another morning at the Jade Gate Inn came as usual.
However, this morning was different from the previous ones, and everyone had a nervous and expectant expression on their faces, which really looked a little weird.
In the room, Uncle Wang got up and cleaned up his clothes and bedding, but he always felt a faint pain in the back of his neck.
He couldn't figure out why, so he put the reason on the pillow he slept on.
He took the pillow, patted it gently, and then said with a suddenly realized expression: "Sure enough, this pillow is really hard for me to sleep again." ”
He sighed with a sad face, turned around and saw Xiaowen, who had already gotten up early to clean up his rope, and couldn't help but be surprised:
"Xiaowen, why are you so active today, you woke up so early."
Xiaowen smiled very shyly and said to Uncle Wang: "Actually, it's not too early, after all, today is a very important day, and it is really not easy for me to fall asleep again." ”
"Yes," Uncle Wang nodded, not having any doubts about Xiaowen's rhetoric, but sighed with emotion and satisfaction,
"Today is a really big day. Although we are all in the same caravan, we have different needs. In order to be able to achieve a good harvest tomorrow, today's dispute must be taken to heart. ”
As he spoke, Uncle Wang smiled kindly and looked at Xiaowen's gaze, as if it was the sun in the Beiao Desert outside, hot and intense,
"Xiaowen, you are so active today, Uncle Wang, I am really pleased! In the past, you never participated in this kind of activity, after all, for you, this thing is in some ways for the benefit of the individual, and you are the person who does not pay attention to the individual.
Because of these things, you have been said to be unsociable by the people in our team behind your back, Uncle Wang, I still remember your appearance of raising your neck, cocking your nostrils, and proudly not caring about other people's eyes.
Now that you suddenly have a heart for this kind of thing, Uncle Wang, I am still a little unaccustomed to it, but my heart is naturally infinitely happy. Our filial piety, this is grown up! ”
Xiaowen was even more embarrassed by Uncle Wang's words. Silently, he lowered his head, revealing a pair of ears that were gradually turning red.
Suddenly, Xiaowen heard Uncle Wang's "hiss", so he quickly raised his head to look at Uncle Wang, and found that Uncle Wang was rubbing his neck with one hand, his face was wrinkled, and he looked very painful, so he asked with concern:
"Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you, is your neck uncomfortable?"
Uncle Wang answered, and couldn't help but complain to Xiaowen:
"I don't know if it's really useless when people are old, but several times, they can make the pillow under my head stiff, which makes my neck sinful. Obviously, before going to bed, this pillow is still good.
And I knew I had this problem, so I specially asked a guy to change my pillow, and the result was still the same. Alas, this is really, my neck is still very painful today, just like being beaten. ”
"How so?" Xiaowen was worried on the surface, but in fact, there was nothing strange in his heart, after all, he was the initiator of this incident.
He was mixed in the caravan, originally with his own purpose, and it was natural and not surprising that he sneaked out in the middle of the night to do something.
He chose to live in the same room with Uncle Wang, because although Uncle Wang was nagging and extremely concerned about others, he was not as sensitive as the other members of the caravan in some things, which greatly facilitated him to do things secretly.
But he has never wanted to do a lot of tedious things, he didn't even consider the choice of drugging and stuning Uncle Wang at night, and would only choose to give Uncle Wang in his sleep in the dead of night.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the two are no different, and even feel that the second one is more difficult to operate than the first.
But for Hyobun himself, there is no more convenient way than for him to do it with his own strength. Of course, this is based on his absolute confidence in himself.
Last night, because of the sense of expectation for the "Wei girl" who confronted Liu Ru during the day, he couldn't sleep for a long time, so that the excitement in his heart crossed his head, and when he attacked Uncle Wang, it was a little heavier, which caused Uncle Wang to still rub his neck and look very painful.
Xiaowen couldn't help but feel a little troublesome in his heart, but because of his good mood last night, he gave Uncle Wang a little more patience.
He didn't care whether Uncle Wang had any doubts about what he just said, he would only show an extremely worried look on his face and say to Uncle Wang:
"It's still early, I'll help you get some medicine and rub it. Otherwise, if this time is delayed for a long time, it will be even more uncomfortable. ”
Uncle Wang looked at the sky outside through the window in the room, and then listened to the fact that there were indeed not many voices outside, although he was still a little reluctant in his heart, but he still agreed with Xiaowen's idea.
So he gently took off his coat again, and asked Xiaowen to take out the wound medicine and wipe it on his neck, and then an extremely sour feeling came.
After a while, Uncle Wang's body was sweating, and the area on his neck became hot but comfortable.
Uncle Wang breathed a sigh of relief softly, and was about to praise a few more words of filial piety, when there was a knock on the door outside the room,
"Lao Wang! Lao Wang? Are you up, hurry up and come out, the bidding is about to begin! ”
Uncle Wang was startled, and got up from his seat with a "swish", and shouted back to the people outside the door while putting on his coat:
"It's coming, it's coming!"
He "smack" a few times, put on his shoes, and easily took the chips that had been prepared a long time ago, and said to Xiaowen with an anxious face:
"Xiaowen, hurry up, it's too late for a while, but there is no room for it."
Xiaowen answered, and then followed Uncle Wang's steps and went out. At this moment, the Yumen Inn was suddenly full of people, and everyone hurriedly came out of the room and poured in the direction of the fourth floor.
At the staircase on the third and fourth floors, Liu Ru and her men were standing here, waiting for the team members who went here one by one seriously and seriously.
"Don't worry, guests, make sure that there is no problem with the things you bring, just line up and hand them over to my buddies, and they will assign you signs according to the things you provide."
On the stairs leading to the fourth floor, Liu Ru looked at the guests who were rushing towards her with a smile on her face, and said the rules to them smoothly and forcefully, maintaining order on this special day.
This day is the day when the caravans show their magic and show their strength.
