Chapter 21 Overnight
An Ruyue turned out the small purse on her waist with a bitter face, the purse was shriveled, and she still opened it unwillingly and counted it.
"Your Majesty, we have two broken pieces of silver the size of broad beans and a dozen copper coins left. An Ruyue said weakly.
Mansha nodded helplessly: "There should be some poor people around here, and although it is a bit cold to borrow a dozen copper coins for one night, I guess they won't be too careful." After a while, if there are really people in the front, let's discuss it with them. ”
As they spoke, the guards who were driving the carriage had pulled the carriage into the place where the lights were on earlier.
The guard parked the carriage outside a dilapidated courtyard and got out of it to knock on the door.
After a while, an old man with a thin face opened the door, and when he saw a tall man standing in front of the door that looked a little scary, he was startled, and he was about to close the door without thinking too much.
This terrifying-looking tall man is naturally Mansha's chariot guard, I have to say that the men in the Shura world are indeed a little more crazy, these guards who came out with Mansha are already considered to be quite acceptable among the guards of the Shura royal family, even so, there are still many people who have been frightened by their appearance over the years, and some people from good families will inevitably treat them as mountain bandits.
When the guard saw that the old man was about to close the door, he hurriedly pressed the door panel with one hand, and said respectfully: "This old man, I am not a bad person. Our young master was sick, and his wife took him out to seek medical treatment. It's just that the road is too far away, and it's not convenient to rush at night, because I saw the lights here, so I came here and wanted to ask for a night, and I hope that the old man can make it convenient. ”
The old man was originally startled by the guard's sudden attack, and just wanted to open his mouth to call the people in the house to help, but when he heard the guard speak respectfully and politely, it was obviously not like the attitude of a bandit and a wicked person, so he relaxed a little.
"You said, you went out with your wife and young master to seek medical treatment?" asked the old man in a hoarse voice and a little suspiciously.
Seeing that the old man had no intention of continuing to close the door, the guard hurriedly let go of the hand pressed on the door, hugged his fist at the old man and said, "Yes, take the liberty of disturbing, and ask the old man to make it convenient." As he spoke, the guard stuffed the dozen copper coins An Ruyue gave him just now into the old man's hand.
The old man looked at the money in his hand, a dozen copper coins were probably enough for their family to use for three or four days, although it was not much, but if they were just allowed to spend the night for one night, it would not be less.
The old man sighed secretly, it seems that if the other party is not a rich family, then I am afraid that the child's illness is very tricky, and a lot of silver money has been used along the way.
"Okay...... If your wife doesn't dislike me for being too shabby here, then invite them over. The old man replied.
When the guard heard that the old man agreed, he hurriedly clasped his fists again and saluted: "Thank you, old man, I will go and call my wife and young master." ”
The guard returned to the carriage and whispered into the carriage, "Your Majesty, the master of this house has agreed to let us stay overnight. It's just that the shed is simple, and I ask Admiral Wang to take a look. ”
An Ruyue lifted the curtain of the car, and Mansha took Cang Wunian's hand and got out of the car, she looked around, and sighed: "We haven't lived anywhere in the past three years, and now there is a thatched house that can be lived, but it is hard for you to accompany me for so long." ”
The guard said respectfully: "What the king said, these are the things that his subordinates should do." ”
Mansha and his party had a total of seven people, excluding Cang Wunian, An Ruyue and Mansha himself, there were only four guards in total. Along the way, these four guards can be said to be loyal, otherwise just with the two women of Mansha and An Ruyue and a child, I really don't know how to get to this day safely.
Walking into the courtyard, the guard just now pointed to Mansha and Cang Wunian and said to the old man: "Uncle, this is my wife and young master." ”
The old man raised his eyes and looked, and the appearance of several adult men in front of him was not flattering, but the two women were born beautiful, especially the lady who was holding a little boy in her hand, the old man had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life, and it seemed that the younger one on the side should be the maid of their family.
"Come out, old woman, and help entertain you......" the old man shouted back into the house.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the door of the house was opened, and an old woman with gray hair glanced cautiously at the door, and when she saw the guards, she was as startled as the old man, and then she saw Mansha again, and her heart was a little calmer.
"We rarely have outsiders here, only one spare room was where my son and his daughter-in-law used to live, if the lady does not dislike it, she will stay in my son and daughter-in-law's room tonight." As for a few of your family members, I'm afraid I'm going to have to wronged them to live in a firewood house......" The old man chattered as he said that Mansha and the three of them had brought them into the house.
Mansha glanced at a few guards with some embarrassment, and the one led by him immediately hugged his fists and said: "Madame doesn't have to worry, the subordinates have rough skin and thick meat, not to mention the firewood room, even if you don't sleep all night, there is no problem." ”
"Hey...... I've wronged you. Mansha sighed helplessly.
