Chapter 61: Living Together?
Liao Luan nodded at Guan Yan behind him, and pulled Lin Zuiliu into the inn lobby.
The sound of the door closing behind him sounded, and Lin Zuiliu squinted at the shop in the dim inn.
Maybe it's because the place is really remote, and no one comes here on weekdays to stay in the hotel, so this inn looks like it may close down at any time.
Even the service attitude of the shop owner is not good, not at all like the doglegs of those shopkeepers in the capital.
Liao Luan didn't care about his attitude, his expression was indifferent, and he said in a cold voice, "Open two upper rooms, and cook a table of dishes by the way." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yan behind him threw down a piece of broken silver in time.
The shopkeeper finally showed a little other expression when he saw the ingot of silver, so he stood up as soon as he caught it, and greeted the three of them upstairs, and said as he walked, "Three upstairs, please." ”
The upstairs environment was not very good, Lin Zuiliu stepped on the last step and looked up to see a narrow corridor.
There was no sunlight in the corridor, it was a little dim, and there were two rows of rooms on either side, and the shopkeeper led the three of them all the way forward.
It wasn't until he walked to the last row that he pointed to the two rooms facing each other on the left and right and said, "These are these two rooms for the three of you, I told the kitchen to cook, what do you call me." ”
Seeing Liao Luan nodding, the shopkeeper turned around and left downstairs directly.
"Let's go clean up and go downstairs for dinner later." After Liao Luan finished instructing Guan Yan, he pulled Lin Zuiliu straight into the room on the left.
As soon as he pushed the door open, there was an old smell in front of him, Lin Zuiliu subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and frowned at the furnishings in the house.
The furnishings of the house were a bit rudimentary, with a bed on the left, and a table and four chairs in the middle of the room, all of which looked a little paintless.
On the right is a screen with a yellowed cloth and a bathtub behind it.
Lin Zuiliu walked into the room, although it was shabby, but the tables, chairs and benches were still clean, she turned around and leaned in front of the bed, only to find that the musty smell came from the bed.
Lin Zuiliu has always been able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and the most unbearable thing is dirty.
Now when I see such a musty quilt on the bed, I am going to cry.
She regretted it, she should never have had this idea of wanting to go global.
"Liao Luan, look at this quilt......"
Her loveless tone successfully pleased Liao Luan, Liao Luan walked over with long legs, first rubbed her head, and accidentally rubbed the bag she had just knocked on, and the painful Lin Zuiliu "hissed".
He withdrew his hand a little embarrassedly, and then looked at the quilt in front of him.
He naturally smelled the musty smell on the quilt, he turned his head, looked at Lin Zuiliu and said, "Let's go down to eat first, I'll change the quilt." ”
Lin Zuiliu didn't want to stay in this room longer, nodded, turned around and went out of the room and went downstairs.
There was already a table downstairs at this time with some food, and Lin Zuiliu was not happy when he looked at the bowls of white rice.
She rushed downstairs, sat down at the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, and reached for the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
She ate happily, and after a while, Liao Luan and Guan Yan also came down, she watched Liao Luan say something to the shopkeeper, waved her hand with chopsticks and said, "Eat, Liao Luan." ”
Liao Luan nodded, said something to the shopkeeper, and then turned to the dining table.
Liao Luan is elegant everywhere, no matter how bad the venue is and how difficult life is, Lin Zuiliu rarely sees him lose his demeanor.
At this time, Liao Luan stretched out his skeletal, white and powerful hands, slowly picked up the chopsticks on the table with one hand, and picked up the rice on the table with the other, and ate elegantly.
Lin Zuiliu wanted to ask him if he was not hungry? However, the consequences of this were likely not to be good, so she wisely said nothing and began to eat.
It gets dark fast in winter, which is why Liao Luan said why the next town can't be reached, he and Guanyan can naturally go at night, but he is always unwilling to wronged Lin Zuiliu.
When they went upstairs, Liao Luan and Guanyan hugged a quilt by themselves.
Lin Zuiliu had already discovered that Guanyan was a little mute who could not speak without speaking, so she ignored him and said directly to Liao Luan, "Where did this cup come from." ”
Liao Luan said disappreciably: "I bought it." ”
What he said to the store was to ask him to go to a nearby family to buy two quilts, and he was in a hurry, and he gave more money, but fortunately, he brought more money with him this time.
Lin Zuiliu simply obeyed Liao Luan, a witty little clever ghost, and as soon as he entered the door, he took the quilt in Liao Luan's arms very doggedly, and said while going back to the bed, "I'll come, I'll come, I'll lay it myself, you go back." ”
Get back? Where to go back?
Liao Luan looked at Lin Zuiliu with some confusion, as if he didn't understand what she meant.
Lin Zuiliu originally turned his back to the outside to make the bed and didn't see anything, but when he turned around after the bed, he saw Liao Luan standing upright at the door.
"Oh Mom, it scared me, why are you standing at the door?"
Hearing Lin Zuiliu say this, Liao Luan simply entered the house neatly, turned around and closed the door and tied it intimately, and said while bolting, "This place is simple, just bear with it today, and bathe tomorrow." ”
Lin Zuiliu was stunned when he watched his series of smooth movements, and it took a long time to find his tongue and ask, "You...... It won't be ...... stay with me."
"Naturally, Ah Liu, I can't squeeze a small bed with Guanyan."
Lin Zuiliu has been almost stimulated today, and now he doesn't want to say anything, so he directly threw the changed mattress to the ground, lay on the bed and said upright like a corpse, "Turn off the lights." ”
She closed her eyes, naturally she didn't see the smile on Liao Luan's face, he let out a soft "um", and after a while, Lin Zuiliu felt that the light was dim, and a warm body quickly gathered around her.
She was stiff, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and she didn't dare to amplify her breathing, as if she was afraid that the person next to her would feel that there was someone next to her.
However, Liao Luan didn't seem to care at all, because after a while, he fell asleep, and the sound of his breathing gradually calmed down.
Lin Zuiliu also relaxed a little because of this cognition, and this relaxation, the faint fragrance on Liao Luan's body reached her nasal cavity, mixed with heat, and the smoked Lin Zuiliu was drowsy.
As soon as she fell asleep, the person next to her who she thought was asleep suddenly opened his eyes, and those eyes were as bright as stars in the dark night, and his gaze was condensed on Lin Zuiliu's face, motionless.
Liao Luan originally wanted to order three rooms, but this kind of poor countryside is really not safe, and Lin Zuiliu's vigilance is still very low after falling asleep.
He was afraid that something would happen to Lin Zuiliu, so he insisted on living in the same room with her.
Now this girl is sleeping happily, but Liao Luan really can't sleep, he sighed, closed his eyes and squinted, and whispered "Good night, Ah Liu." ”
Lin Zuiliu vaguely heard the low and clear voice, and also muttered a good night, and then closed his eyes completely.
The moonlight outside the window was like water, and the cold wind knocked on the window, Lin Zuiliu shivered a little afraid of the cold, and slowly moved to Liao Luan's side.
The night passed.
On the second day, Liao Luan was awakened.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the sun outside was already rising, shining warmly on the whole room.
He squinted his eyes before he regained his gaze, and then he saw an arm on his chest and a leg on his body.
Lin Zuiliu is not heavy, but after being pressed overnight, Rao is a person with Liao Luan's physical fitness, and he also feels a little numb on his body.
He said how he felt like he was pressed into bed by a ghost last night.
Liao Luan was a little speechless and looked at Lin Zuiliu, who was sleeping next to him, but finally didn't wake her up.
He stretched out his hand and slowly moved Lin Zuiliu's arm, and when he heard this person's "hmm", he immediately stopped moving.
Seeing that she didn't wake up, he slowly took her leg off again.
The leg was really numb.
Liao Luan sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed his legs, which were a little bloodless, and then slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked out of the house.
Today's Lin Zuiliu was woken up by Liao Luan again, and it was not too early when he woke up.
Today, she very obediently asked Liao Luan to tie his hair, and then happily went downstairs for breakfast.
Breakfast is not good, and it is even a little simple, but yesterday I suddenly learned that Lin Zuiliu, who may have no food every day, cherishes every meal.
After eating, the three of them set off directly.
Lin Zuiliu, who set off again, had learned to be grateful for life, and the carriage stopped and walked for another two days before finally arriving in a slightly larger town.
It was getting dark by the time they arrived, and surprisingly many of the inns were full.
Because of the northward journey, the weather is getting colder and colder, Lin Zuiliu sat in the carriage with his wool cloak on his coat, watching Liao Luan and Guanyan find an inn with vacant rooms one by one, and finally let them find one with two vacant rooms.
Lin Zuiliu let Liao Luan pull him out of the carriage, and muttered with some resentment, "What a big day, why are there so many guests in the town." ”
Hearing her ask, the talkative shopkeeper said with a smile, "Madame is in a hurry, the days have passed, today is the Lantern Festival." ”
"Let's guess the lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival here, you can go out for a walk after dinner at night, and also join in the excitement to ask for good luck."
Lantern Festival?
That's right, they just went out after the New Year, and now that there is more than half a moon, it is indeed time for the Lantern Festival.
Lin Zuiliu has always liked to join in the fun, and he was even happier when he heard that there were activities at night, so he pulled Liao Luan and said excitedly, "Yan Gui, let's go shopping for lanterns and guess lantern riddles at night!" ”
Liao Luan has always connived at Lin Zuiliu, and when she heard her say that she wanted to go, she didn't refuse, nodded and said, "I'll take you there after dinner." ”
