Chapter 36: The Inn

The carriage soon left the boundary of Pingning County and reached the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, and there were many pedestrians on the road, and Fu Yunyan and Xiao Qinghan's cars did not seem to attract attention.

Passers-by glanced at it from afar, and they just thought that a man from whose family was taking his daughter-in-law to the town to buy things. coincided with the rainy season, and when it was almost noon, it began to rain non-stop, and Fu Yunyan and Xiao Qinghan's broken carriage was really leaking rain everywhere at this time.

As a last resort, Fu Yunyan and Xiao Qinghan could only stay in a nearby village. The carriage drove all the way by, and the village looked desolate from a distance, and now it looked even more uninhabited. In desperation, Fu Yunyan and Xiao Qinghan rested in the broken temple at the entrance of the village, but they didn't expect the rain to stop.

Looking out from the window of the broken temple, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that you can't hurry today, Fu Yunyan thought to herself.

The honest coachman, Fu Yunyan always thought that he was just an ordinary coachman. Only then did I know that the coachman was played by Xiao Qinghan's secret guard.

The secret guard also parked the carriage in the temple, so as not to get wet inside, and there was no way to hurry immediately after the rain stopped.

Fu Yunyan's body was also stained with a lot of moisture, causing a pain in the wound on her right shoulder. Xiao Qinghan glanced at Fu Yunyan thoughtfully, and then said to his secret guard, "Go get some firewood." "

Fu Yunyan glanced at Xiao Qinghan gratefully, and when she saw the pouring rain outside, she felt that when the secret guard went out at this time, she would definitely be drenched in soup. Besides, this firewood is not easy to light when it is drenched with water.

He couldn't bear to say, "Don't let him go, I can bear it if I have nothing to do, such a heavy rain...... "

Fu Yunyan was halfway through her words, and Xiao Qinghan interrupted her words.

Xiao Qinghan had a look on his face that could not be refused, he asked the secret guard to go out, firstly for firewood, and secondly, he felt that there was no one in this village, which was really strange.

"He has other things to do when he goes out, and the dark guard comes and goes in the wind and rain, and he is not as squeamish as you think. "

Fu Yunyan only felt that Xiao Qinghan's words seemed to be a slap in the face, hitting her face hard, was this saying that she was squeamish?

Fu Yunyan turned her back angrily, and didn't look at Xiao Qinghan.

The secret guard, who is also the coachman, nodded at Xiao Qinghan, then turned around and rushed into the heavy rain.

It was obviously noon, but it was pouring rain outside, the sky looked very gloomy, and the wind was blowing, Fu Yunyan was sitting in a corner, shivering constantly.

In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I walked out of the corner and climbed into the old carriage, hoping that the carriage would ward off a hint of cold wind for me.

It didn't take long for the coachman to come back, and then shook his head at Xiao Qinghan, meaning that there was no one in the village.

Then the coachman put it in Xiao Qinghan's ear and said, "Childe, I don't think it's appropriate to stay in this village for a long time, I just went to see a few families at the foot of the mountain, and most of them have been covered by the rocks, it seems that the mountain here is not very strong, and the rain is so heavy, I'm afraid that something will happen in a while." "

The dark guard's voice was pressed into a line, and only he and Xiao Qinghan could hear it clearly.

Xiao Qinghan frowned and thought about it, only then did he understand that it should be a village with a large population, how could he come over and take a look, there was no one, it should be the rainy season every year, and the mountains here will roll down.

Fu Yunyan was shivering in the car, and saw Xiao Qinghan rushing in and sitting opposite him, Fu Yunyan looked at Xiao Qinghan with a puzzled expression.

Then I heard the coachman sit in front and prepare to catch the car.

"Why don't you wait for the rain to stop before leaving? "

Fu Yunyan asked with a puzzled face, although it was a little cold in the broken temple, it could still shelter from the wind and rain, if it went out, I was afraid that I would be half drenched.

Xiao Qinghan shook his head, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. "

Fu Yunyan was shocked by Xiao Qinghan's sentence, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, it is in the clouds, but Fu Yunyan did not ask, thinking that the secret guard found something.

The carriage couldn't run fast on the muddy road, and it wasn't until it was dark that Fu Yunyan was already hungry and saw the outline of a town in the distance.

When she reached the edge of the town, Fu Yunyan noticed that the town was small, but it was no longer deserted. But it was already night, and the town was already silent, except for a few places where lanterns were still lit, and the coachman drove the carriage straight to the place where the lights were on.

At this time, the rain did not stop at all, and it did not even mean to get smaller.

Fu Yunyan looked at the inn in the distance from afar, and felt as if he had walked here in the depths of his memory, but Fu Yunyan didn't delve into it.

After all, there was a sharp pain in the shoulder, as if the wound had just been injured. Fu Yunyan estimated that the wound should have been soaked in water, which is why the pain was so unbearable.

Fu Yunyan endured the pain along the way, her lips were already bitten and white, although Xiao Qinghan saw it in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do, it was always difficult for a big man to give Fu Yunyan medicine, but from the village he left, there was not even a single family in the town.

It is surrounded by endless mountains and crops that have been completely submerged in water.

The roads in the town were noticeably much easier to walk than the dirt roads outside, and at least the wagons didn't sink into the dirt anymore.

Soon arrived at the door of an inn, and as soon as the carriage stopped, I saw a little second-looking person walking out, but when he saw the carriage, the disappointed look was all painted on his face.

Looking at the coachman, he asked angrily, "How many guest officers are there?" The lower room of our store is full. "

The dark guard looked at Xiao Er's snobbish appearance, and didn't speak, just snorted coldly, then turned his head and rushed to the carriage behind him, and called, "Childe." "

Of course, Xiao Qinghan heard Xiao Er's words, but he didn't get angry, his own carriage, coupled with the mud all the way, it was good that Xiao Er didn't directly treat himself and others as Huazi.

Xiao Qinghan's voice came out of the carriage, "Three upper rooms." "

Xiao Er looked a little disbelieving, looking at the inside of the carriage and staring, the money for the three upper rooms was enough to buy such a carriage, not including horses, of course.

"Guest officer, the upper room of the small shop is a hundred dollars a day, the guest officer still thinks clearly, there should be a lower room in other houses, and the guest officer can ask. "

Xiao Er said a sincere word this time, after all, if there is no money in his pocket, or the silver ticket is not plump, why bother to slap a swollen face and become fat because of face.

"No problem. "

Xiao Qinghan walked out of the carriage while bowing down as he spoke, and then threw Xiao Eryi a small piece of broken silver, which looked like it was the size of one or two.

Xiao Er's eyes suddenly straightened, and he never thought that this person who had fallen into such a way would make a move with broken silver.

Then the shopkeeper's obscene face was full of smiles, and then he made a gesture of please.

However, Xiao Qinghan turned around, handed his hand to Fu Yunyan, and then helped her out of the carriage.

Fu Yunyan's lips had been bitten all over the tiny wounds at the moment, and they looked full of bloodstains.

Fu Yunyan fought hard, grabbed Xiao Qinghan's arm, got out of the carriage, and then walked into the inn with Xiao Qinghan.

The inn is a very small inn, and it looks a little dirty, so if you want to come to the room, that's what it looks like.

Xiao Er pointed to the stairs, "Guest officer, please." "

Xiao Qinghan nodded, and then said to Xiao Er, "Find a place, put the carriage for me, feed the horses, and your reward is indispensable." "

Xiao Er smiled with a sneer, for the sake of Yinzi's face, of course he could agree to it.

Fu Yunyan reluctantly walked upstairs, Xiao Er pointed to a few upper rooms, "Guest officer, this is the remaining upper room in this store, guest officer, you can choose it yourself." "

Xiao Qinghan glanced at it, pointed to the three rooms next to each other, and then arranged Fu Yunyan in the middle of the house, and then said to Xiao Er, "Hurry up and prepare hot water, we have to bathe and change clothes, and then prepare meals." "

Xiao Er's face showed a little embarrassed, and then said to Xiao Qinghan with some apologies, "Guest officer, the cook of the small shop has gone home, we can boil hot water, but I'm afraid that this meal will ask the guest officer to order it in another restaurant." "

Xiao Qinghan nodded without hesitation, what he meant was to let Xiao Er prepare a table of dishes, not those foolish things in the inn.

Then Xiao Qinghan took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and threw it to Xiao Er, "Is it enough?" "

Xiao Er showed a smile at this time, and then nodded again and again and said, "Enough, of course it's enough, the guest officer will rest first, and I'll go and prepare hot water for the guest officer." "

Then Xiao Er opened the door with the key, and gave the key to Xiao Qinghan, and then went to prepare.

The two taels of silver given by Xiao Qinghan are enough to order a table of good food in a restaurant, and then there is still some left of these two silvers, isn't this money his own.

After Xiao Er ran down, he ran to the back with a happy face, and followed the helper who worked in the kitchen and said, "Hurry up and boil three hot waters, the guests upstairs are in a hurry to use it." "

The kitchen helper responded angrily, and then saw Xiao Er handing over a few copper coins, and suddenly laughed without eyes.

Xiao Er watched the kitchen helper go to work, so he walked out beautifully, and then took a hat and put it on his head, and then ran to the back, and told the boy to feed the horse, and then hummed a song and walked to a restaurant not far in front.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Xiao Er threw the silver taels in his hand on the table of the shopkeeper of the restaurant quite arrogantly, "Quickly prepare a table of wine for me and send it to the inn." "

Xiao Er has been a frequent visitor here for a long time, and now it is night, and there are few people in the restaurant, the old shopkeeper saw Xiao Er's appearance, and said helplessly, "Liu Xiaoer, this is not the banquet you want, and it will not be given to you to eat, what are you arrogant?" "

Xiao Er didn't get angry when he saw that the old shopkeeper had pierced him, and he often came here to buy some wine and food for the guests, and he became familiar with it after coming and going.

The old shopkeeper estimated that he was a rich man, but he didn't ask for a lot of money, so he made all the chickens and fish left in the restaurant, and didn't calculate the money, anyway, these things can't be kept until the next day, so as not to get the guests to eat bad stomachs.
