The legs of the mules and horses are fast, and before the end of the day, the autumn color came to the dock of Xinglong Town. Xinglong Town, like Qingshui Town, the hometown of the deity, is located on the edge of the Tongzhou Canal, and both towns have a small wharf, although it is not as good as the big wharf on the Beijing-Hangzhou Universiade, but it also makes the economy of the two towns prosperous.

The Tongzhou Canal was originally a branch of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which was dug to reduce the burden of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and played a great role in diverting the flow of tax grain into Beijing every year. In normal times, some cargo ships deliberately passed by the canal to trade goods with the locals, and over time, the towns along the Tongzhou canal also prospered.

At this moment, Qiu Se turned a blind eye to the prosperity of the wharf, and she was discussing with an old captain who was holding the boat, "Uncle, are you going to the wharf of Qingshui Town on this boat?" ”

The old man looked at the autumn color and nodded, "Well, my boat will go directly to Qingshui Town, it only takes an hour, and the boat fare is thirty wen, and today is the last trip!" He looked behind Autumn Color, "Uh, is the girl alone?" ”

Qiu Se, who wanted to get on the boat, heard the old man ask, subconsciously stopped, nodded a little guardedly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The old captain looked back at the two guests who were already sitting on his boat, and persuaded Qiuse in embarrassment: "Girl, why don't you come back tomorrow morning!" ”

The old captain's boat was a small caravan that could carry four people, and there were already two guests in it, and when he heard the sound of Qiu Yu talking to the old captain, one of them stuck out his head and shouted inarticulately: "Since there are people on the boat, come up quickly, and leave the boat early!" ”

Seeing the autumn colors on the shore, he was stunned at first, and then he laughed and shouted, "Brother Lian is coming out, there is a little lady who is about to get on the boat." After shouting, he first hiccuped.

Soon, another person swayed out of the canopy, this person had obviously drunk too much, and even carried a wine jug in his hand, and said indistinctly, "Where is the little lady?" Come and let me hug! ”

Seeing the two of them looking like drunks, Qiu Se realized that the old man was kind-hearted, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, uncle, then I'll come tomorrow morning, what time will the boat leave tomorrow morning?" ”

"Every morning at the beginning of the day, the boat leaves." The old man was not annoyed when he lost a business, and replied with a smile.

Qiu Se thanked the old man and left the dock, and when he walked away, he could still hear the two drunks shouting "Little lady, don't go" and "Hug" and the like.

It's really annoying enough, and the autumn color is not afraid of these two drunks, but trouble. Now I don't know if there are pursuers behind her, if there are, it is easier to attract the attention of others if she argues with them, and if she really tears herself in public with a strange man, she may suffer a loss, and her reputation will be damaged.

Even in modern times, fame is very important for women, not to mention that this is an ancient time when there were more constraints on women! Although Qiushi is not afraid of losing her reputation, she does not want to take the initiative to challenge the ancient etiquette with the power of one person.

It's just that there are few women walking alone on the pier, and although the autumn color is plainly dressed, she is also a woman of double ten years, and the vendors and pedestrians all pay curious attention, and some even come forward to talk.

"Where's the girl?"

"Is the girl alone?"

"Is the girl sharpening or staying in the hotel?"

“……”

There are even people who are following the autumn colors to promote their own inns. The autumn color was overwhelmed, and he suddenly stopped, turned his head and glared at the man unkindly, "Why are you following me?" Want to rob but can't do it? ”

The man was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old person dressed as a second, and he was startled when he saw the autumn color suddenly stop, and when he heard her question, he hurriedly gritted his teeth and smiled: "Look at what the little lady said, I just asked if you can live in the inn, my inn is clean and cheap and safe!" ”

"Get out of the way, dare to follow me again, and be careful of breaking your legs!" Autumn said viciously.

In the modern era near the train station bus station is very common this kind of childcare, the mouth of the sky is falling, in fact the conditions are not necessarily good, and may be a liar, although it is said that the ancient people are industrious and simple, but the autumn color still does not want to take risks.

Seeing that Qiu Se's words were ruthless, Da Violent Tooth was a little unsure of her details, and wondered in his heart if it was difficult or a good one? I didn't dare to follow her anymore, so I watched her enter the largest inn on the dock, the Ping'an Inn, and didn't come out for a long time, so I went to look for other targets.

The reason why Qiu Se chose this high-grade inn is because she always feels that the big inn is safer, but the price will not be too bad.

"How much do you think a single room costs for a night?" Rao was mentally prepared, and the autumn colors were also startled.

The shopkeeper behind the counter was also startled by the sudden rise of Qiu Yue's voice, raised his head from the abacus, stared at a pair of mung bean eyes on his cake-like face, and said in an unkind tone: "Are you deaf?" Fifty-five dollars a night in a single room, you can live in a bunk if you want to be cheap......"

The shopkeeper suddenly stopped, blinked his mung bean-like eyes, looked at the door again, and asked with some disbelief: "Girl, are you alone?" ”

This is already the Nth person to ask himself like this, Qiu Shi forcibly endured the nameless fire in his heart, nodded, and squeezed out a "yes" word from between his teeth.

Mung Bean's eyes narrowed, and the shopkeeper deliberately asked, "Is that girl planning to live in a single room or a bunk?" Tongpu is cheap for ten wen a night, you live and I will give you eight wen, that is, there are all men in the shop! ”

Before Qiu Se could reply, the diners who were listening with their ears in the hall shouted first, "Shopkeeper, if this little lady lives in the shop, you can return the single room for me and arrange the shop!" ”

Someone next to him immediately answered with a smile, "Thinking about the beauty, why did the shopkeeper withdraw the money in hand?" ”

The man before laughed and said, "It's okay if you don't retreat, just let me lie next to this little lady." ”

"Think beautiful, why are you next to the little lady?"

"It's me next to me!"

"No, let's just change it once an hour?"

"An hour is too long, half an hour!"

“……”

The more the people in the hall talked, the more explicit they became, and the topic became more and more unbearable, the shopkeeper didn't pay attention to them, but looked at the dark autumn color in front of the counter with interest, "I said girl, why don't you live in a single room, so it's ...... safe."

"Smack!" There was a crisp sound on the ground, which not only scared the shopkeeper's words back, but also quieted down the people who were discussing in the hall, and subconsciously looked at the counter.

Qiu Seqiang held back the numbness and pain in his hands, and said angrily to the shopkeeper: "Is the shopkeeper behind his ears or what?" From the very beginning, I asked about a single room, what are you talking to me about? As he spoke, he removed his hand from the counter, and a dime of silver shone quietly under his palm.
