When night fell, Lu Dacheng, who was driving the car, finally saw a bright light in front of him, and the layout of the bright light looked like a house, maybe he rushed to the inn.

"Miss, there should be an inn ahead." Lu Dacheng said while looking ahead.

Gu Anning, who had been driving in the carriage for a day, felt that her bones were about to break, and she always sat in the carriage, although she could look out of the window at the scenery, she was also very bored.

Hearing Lu Dacheng's words outside, Gu Anning lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

I saw a brightly lit house in the distance, and according to the bright light, I could vaguely see that the house had two floors, and the shape resembled an inn.

"Speed up." Gu Anning lowered the curtain in her hand, and then commanded.

Lu Dacheng, who was outside the carriage, received the order, and then accelerated the speed of the carriage even more.

The lanterns hanging above the curtain of the carriage flickered on both sides, illuminating the circle around the carriage.

Not long after, Lu Dacheng finally drove the carriage to the house where he had just seen the bright light.

This house is not on the official road, but quite far from the official road.

When they came to the house where they had just seen the light, everyone saw the house clearly.

It turned out that this was not an inn, just a farmhouse.

It's just that a farmhouse is built on a low place, and a farmhouse is built on the ground high behind the farmhouse.

From a distance, the two glittering farmhouses are stacked together, forming a two-story courtyard, which is also like an inn.

Looking at this farmhouse, Lu Dacheng was a little confused, "Miss, it turns out that this is not an inn. ”

Gu Anning, who had already seen the outside through the carriage window, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's go down and spend the night."

No way, it's completely dark now, and at night, the temperature will be even colder than during the day.

If it's a night in the wild, he's fine, but he can't do it with a bun.

Therefore, now that she can't find an inn, she can only go to someone's house to spend the night.

Qiu Ling, who was sitting on the side, and Lu Dacheng, who was outside, heard this, and they all got out of the carriage one after another.

Gu Anning hugged the little bun and walked carefully after they went down.

Lu Dacheng saw that the young lady got out of the carriage, so he quickly brought a lantern to light the way ahead for them.

Gu Anning wrapped the little bun with the cloak on her back, leaving only a pink little face.

Although the speed of the carriage was accelerated on the road, occasionally Gu Anning would get off the carriage and cook some porridge on the shelf to feed the little buns in his arms.

Or after the little bun poop or peeing, she will also boil some warm water to wash him.

Because of this, even if the carriage was speeded up, it still took a lot of time on the road.

According to the map, as long as the carriage travels for more than two hours, it will definitely arrive at an inn.

However, the dew is heavy at night and the temperature drops quite sharply, so it is not a wise choice to rush in such a situation.

Several people came to the gate of the courtyard, and Qiu Ling stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

After knocking several times and seeing no response, Qiu Ling began to knock hard several times in a row, confirming that the sound of these knocks spread throughout the room inside.

At this time, an old man's voice came from inside the courtyard gate, "It's so late, who?" ”

Although the old man inside asked, he did not open the door when he did not confirm the people outside.

Outside the door, Gu Anning, who was holding the little bun, softened her voice and said, "Old man, we just passed by here, and when we saw that it was getting late, we wanted to spend the night at the old man's house."

At night, if you don't let go of your voice, I'm really afraid that the old people inside will think that they are bad people, so they won't open the door for themselves and don't agree to spend the night.

After all, at night, and quite close to the official road, the danger can be said to be greatly increased.

The old man inside heard the voice of a little girl outside, and was very polite and soft, so he reached out and put his hand on the deadbolt.

Gradually, a crack opened in the courtyard door, and the old man looked through the gap to see the people outside, and found that there were two little girls and a man who seemed to be a subordinate.

And, by the light of the two lanterns hanging from the courtyard gate and the lantern in the man's hand, he saw that one of the two little girls had a child in her arms.

Seeing this, the old man believed what the little girl outside said, and opened the courtyard door widely.

"Girl, come in quickly, and bring in the carriage as well."

The old man beckoned to them as he spoke, motioning for them to hurry in.

Gu Anning didn't go in for the first time, but nodded gratefully towards the old man who opened the door for him, "Thank you, old man." ”

Seeing that she was so polite, a kind smile appeared on the old man's face, "Girl, don't be so polite, come in quickly." ”

"Okay." Gu Anning nodded, and then walked in with Qiu Ling.

Lu Dacheng turned back and led the horse over, and the old man hurriedly opened the courtyard door so that the carriage could come in.

When the carriage entered the courtyard, the old man asked Lu Dacheng to tie it to a pillar.

After he had tied up his horse, the old man, he took the three of them and a small bun and walked towards the main hall.

From the outside, this old man's home is not very big, just a simple blue brick house.

When I first arrived at the door of the main hall, an old woman stood at the door with her light on her back.

"Old man, who's coming?"

Because the old woman is old, some old eyes are dizzy, and there is not much light in the courtyard, so I can't see the people around the old man clearly.

When the old man saw her asking, he stepped forward to help her and complained.

"Here came two girls and a man, and they came to spend the night. But I said you old woman, you don't have good eyes, don't mess around at night, what if you accidentally bump into you when the time comes? ”

The old woman listened to his complaining and concerned words, and reached out and patted the old man's arm.

"Old man, I've lived in my own house for decades, and I'm familiar with every place I can't knock over. But since there are a few guests here, let's invite them in. ”

"Okay."

The old man smiled, and then helped the old woman and led the group into the hall where the oil lamps were lit.

With the light in the hall, the old woman could see clearly the few people who came to her house to stay overnight.

After seeing the two girls in front of her clearly, and then seeing the small buns they were holding in their arms, the old woman's eyes showed a kind smile.
