After talking, the old man went outside the door to pack up the medicinal materials and stock up for Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu looked sideways and saw that Jin Yuanjing and Zhou Jun seemed to be talking about something, so she leaned over.

"What are you talking about?"

Jin Yuanjing looked at Zhu Hongyu, his eyes were full of hesitation, Zhu Hongyu was very strange when he saw Jin Yuanjing like this.

"What's wrong? What were you talking about just now? ”

Jin Yuanjing pointed at Zhou Jun and whispered to Zhu Hongyu: "Hongyu, now we have two criminals behind us, count it out...... Do you think it's a good place to spend the day? ”

Zhu Hongyu didn't think of this problem, but thinking that someone is guilty now, it is indeed not good news.

"But if we don't live in this place, I'm afraid that we will encounter a black shop, and this place will ......."

Jin Yuanjing felt that this problem was really unsolvable.

There are so many shops, some of them are open for business, and of course some of them are black shops.

The last time in the black shop, if it wasn't for Lu Ming's resignation to save the scene, the final outcome could only be to spend money to buy peace.

"If you're worried about these things that won't happen all day, let's not leave."

"I didn't mean that."

Zhu Hongyu sighed and sat back in her seat, how could she say anything to Jin Yuanjing would definitely misunderstand what she meant?

Jin Yuanjing saw that Zhu Hongyu really couldn't make up his mind, so he suggested: "Hongyu, Zhou Jun is a local, since we have a local to lead the way, what are we afraid of?" ”

But Du Wu also traveled a long way from the Western Regions to Ganzhou, and he ...... And how did he ......?"

Zhu Hongyu's voice suddenly deepened, as if she had been wronged.

Seeing Zhu Hongyu like this, Jin Yuanjing quickly shut up, who would want to mention Zhou Jun to talk about Du Wu?

Can...... But under the circumstances at that time, if they didn't run, would they still have to wait for the group to be wiped out?

"You decide."

Jin Yuanjing really didn't want to argue with Zhu Hongyu anymore.

Zhu Hongyu sat back on the boxwood stool in the old man's house thoughtfully, and she looked out the door and could see the old man working under the scorching sun.

She promised to take the family on the mountain to a safe place, but in the end, the money was not delivered......

Du Wu, the man who talked and laughed with her on the road, became a corpse in the blink of an eye in order to protect her and Jin Yuanjing.

That night was not only a nightmare for the three dead people, but also a nightmare for Zhu Hongyu.

As a doctor, it is my job to practice medicine and save people, but I never expected that she was the one who killed people.

The old man packed up the licorice and walked back to the lobby, and saw Zhu Hongyu with tears on her face, and she didn't dare to disturb for a while. walked in front of Jin Yuanjing and Zhou Jun.

"The things are already packed, are you planning to stay here or are you ......?"

Jin Yuanjing glanced at Zhu Hongyu, then at Zhou Jun, and asked tentatively, "Uncle, thank you." We haven't decided whether to travel or stay at your house. If you live in your house, you are afraid that the trip will be delayed, but if you go, there is no place to stay. ”

The old man heard Jin Yuanjing's concerns and laughed.

"Hey, what should I do, it's such a simple thing, are you still worried? Would it be nice to ask me? You can walk forward boldly, about a hundred miles, you can see several inns and restaurants next to the official road, and that place is not far from Yumen Pass. You can rest in that place at night, and by the way, I have a relative who planted licorice with me a few years ago, and now he has gone to open an inn, so you can stay with him. Clean and safe. ”

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly wiped away her tears and asked, "Oh? What is it called? ”

The old man thought about it, because he didn't go to that place often, and everything was purchased in Wuwei County, so why bother to go so far?

"By the way, the name of his inn is very loud, it's called Dragon Gate Inn."

Dragon Gate Inn?

Zhu Hongyu smiled helplessly, what kind of name is this, how can it sound so familiar.

"This name is mighty, how are your relatives?"

The old man saw Zhu Hongyu ask like this, but he didn't know how to answer, this ...... Can this still be described?

"I don't know what you're referring to, if it's character, I can't guarantee it, but we are all law-abiding people who work and eat. You're not an official, and you're not saying you're going to do business......"

Zhu Hongyu cast her gaze on Jin Yuanjing and asked, "Jin Yuanjing, what do you see?" Is this shop okay? ”

Jin Yuanjing thought to himself that in front of Zhu Hongyu, when would he have the right to speak.

"Naturally, it's up to you to decide."

Zhu Hongyu let out a long "um", thinking that she really shouldn't be so hypocritical with someone.

If there was no Zhou Jun and Ya'er, she wouldn't have to hurry, but now only when they leave Liangzhou, Zhou Jun and Ya'er are safe.

Thinking about this, Zhu Hongyu stretched out her arm towards Ya'er, and the little girl was not afraid, and came to Zhu Hongyu.

"Hey, you have to fight for some anger, don't be caught by the bad guys."

Zhu Hongyu's voice was so soft that only Ya'er could hear it.

Ya'er, a child about ten years old, naturally didn't know what Zhu Hongyu meant, but she seemed to know that she had made a mistake from the time her father wanted to sell her.

That mistake was enough for her to bear a punishment that she would never be able to bear.

"Jin Yuanjing, Zhou Jun, let's stay at the Dragon Gate Inn at night." Zhu Hongyu said, looking at the old man again, "Uncle, let's pack the things, and we'll go on the road immediately." ”

The old man agreed, and the four of them followed the old man out of the door, and the five hundred catties of licorice were divided into four boxes, and in the middle of each box was a strong strip of cloth, which was very wide, and passed through the two humps of the camel.

In this way, the 500 catties of licorice were carried by two male camels, and they could go on the road again.

The four of them got on the camel and said goodbye to the old man, and there was an unknown journey ahead.

Coming out of the old man's house, the camel walked all the way to the south, and the camel was like a machine that never rested, carrying heavy luggage all the way to the south.

In Ganzhou, a pound of licorice sells for fifty wen, which is still the price of crude licorice, and if it is cut into slices, this price will be more expensive.

In the afternoon, although the Gobi Desert is still hot at noon, the temperature has gradually cooled.

The sun shone on the group's bodies, and they quickly sweated, but fortunately walking in the Gobi Desert, they were covered by a white cloak that could cover their cheeks and block the heat.

The journey of 100 miles is not very far, but this distance has been walked for an afternoon, and in the evening, when the temperature in the Gobi Desert plummeted, and the sky was already thin and the moon was thin, the group finally arrived at the place that the old man said.

This is a small town next to an official road.

The place close to the official road is either an inn or a hotel, and it seems that business is thriving.

Because it was already night, there were very few pedestrians on the official road, and this place was close to Liangzhou City, so there was no business.

Zhu Hongyu and his party hurriedly looked for a place called "Dragon Gate Inn".

As a result, after looking for a long time, this Longmen Inn was found in a corner of the place.

This place is too remote, and it took me a long time to find such a corner of the place, and the store is about to be locked.

Seeing this kind of shop in the corner, Zhu Hongyu was really a little scared.

Just when Zhu Hongyu hesitated, Jin Yuanjing had already got off the camel and walked into the store.

The boss saw that business was coming again, and greeted him very courteously, Zhu Hongyu secretly said that there was no room for maneuver, so she could only follow Jin Yuanjing into the inn.

Zhou Jun took the child to tie the camel in the stable and went into the house himself.

The decoration inside the inn is the decoration of the Western Regions, with cracked wooden floors and creaky and dry wooden stairs.

The front account desk is very old, and it is covered with a layer of grease, that is, it is pulped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you going to be sharp-nosed or staying in a hotel?"

Zhu Hongyu looked at this place with disgust, looked at the boss with a very disgusted expression, and said, "Outside the gate of our Wuwei County, the boss who sells licorice was introduced. Say your home is cheap and safe...... Is it? ”

The boss looked around, a little weak.

"Although the conditions of our house are not as good as other places, they are not bad, so let's see that you are also tired for a day, sit down and drink tea first, I will let the back kitchen cook some food for you, and then open a room for you to rest."

Zhu Hongyu nodded noncommittally, there is no room for maneuver now, she can only promise to agree, not to agree or to agree.

"Okay, so how do you charge here?"

The boss took a look at four people, two men and one woman with a child, and the child was still a girl.

"That's it, the four of you, for dinner and lodging, I'll count two dollars of silver."

Zhu Hongyu nodded, you can't ask too much in this place, it is important to enter the customs quickly tomorrow.

"Okay, then we might as well be respectful."

The boss was very happy to see that the business had been settled, and hurriedly ran to the back kitchen to let the chef cook, and he was busy lighting up the lobby light, and suddenly the inn was bright, much better than just now.

Zhu Hongyu found a wide table, and the four of them filled a table.

The little girl sat on the table and was still a little weak, and Zhu Hongyu looked at the girl and showed a gentle smile.

The kid is such a good boy.

Jin Yuanjing also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Hongyu smile.

"Okay, this place?"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said, "The price is cheap or cheap, it depends on how the room is tonight." ”

Zhou Jun sat aside and didn't dare to speak, so he hurriedly poured tea for Zhu Hongyu and Jin Yuanjing.

"Zhou Jun, after entering the customs from Liangzhou, how far is it to the wharf by waterway?"

Zhou Junyi frowned, although it was said to be by water, there was still a long way to go.

"We still have to follow the original road, until Wuchang has a waterway, and then we can run to Bianjing in a thousand miles."

Zhu Hongyu thought that after entering the customs, it would be much better to buy a set of carriages and horses in Baoji or Longxian than now, and I hope that I can enter the customs smoothly tomorrow.

"Great, I seem to have smelled the aroma of Central Plains rice, let's hurry up!"

While he was talking, the boss walked up with a plate of dishes, it was a plate of preserved egg tofu, and it was like a dream to eat such a refreshing dish in the huge Gobi Desert!

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly distributed chopsticks to others and asked everyone to move the chopsticks quickly.
