Chapter 50: The Mountain Inn

Soon, the carriage in the distance came to Shao Liang and Shao Sifang, and it was an old man who drove the car, his gray beard was very distinctive, not only dense, but also rolled, the old man's face was very easy-going, and when he saw Shao Liang and Shao Sifang, he took the lead in greeting.

"Hey, hello two guest officers, you hired the carriage?" said the white-bearded old man with a smile.

Shao Liang was stunned for a moment, and Shao Sifang immediately nodded and said, "Yes, send us to Nanyaozhou." ”

The white-bearded old man smiled and waved his hand, "Okay! Two guest officers, please get in the car!"

Shao Sifang took the lead in boarding the carriage, and Shao Liang followed closely, and when Shao Liang entered the carriage, the white-bearded old man said again: "Nan Shaozhou, the road is far away! Guest officer, you have to sit firmly! Let's stop at the post house once this way!"

Shao Liang hesitated for a moment, then took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, handed it to the white-bearded old man, and said with a smile: "Hard work, uncle!"

The white-bearded old man was stunned for a moment, then took the silver ticket, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, guest officer!

Shao Liang entered the carriage and sat face to face with Shao Sifang, when he saw Shao Sifang's crying face that seemed to be a dead father, Shao Liang was not interested in wanting to talk, only closed his eyes, hoping that he could fall asleep quickly, and hoped that he would have arrived in Nanyao Prefecture when he woke up.

At this time, the sky is just right, when it will be noon, the soft sunlight is sprinkled on this lush land, the breeze gently stirs the green leaves, there are bursts of flowers and plants, Shao Liang listened to the sound of the carriage, smelled the fragrance along the way, unconsciously, the eyes were really a little confused, thinking that it may be due to the sleepless night last night, the tiredness that has long been forgotten is swept at this time.

Soon, Shao Liang fell asleep. At this time, Shao Sifang was a little surprised at first after seeing Shao Qi fall asleep so quickly, but then he also followed Shao Qi, moved his body, put on a comfortable position, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Time is like the lonely goose flying south, it seems to have a purpose, but it is boundless, the passage of a minute and a second catches people off guard, when people enjoy the abundance of time, time is precious, but when people are tired of time, time is the devil of the fierce gods.

When Shao Liang was still immersed in the dream, suddenly a "huh" stop sound, and then the carriage slowly stopped, Shao Liang frowned, and when he wanted to wake up from the dream, his body was pushed by someone.

"Hey, wake up, it's time for the inn. This is Shao Sifang's voice.

Shao Liang moved his body a little bored, and then opened his eyes, only to find that it was getting late, and the gloom in the surroundings actually made Shao Qi a little uncomfortable.

"It's ...... Where's it?" Shao Liang stretched his waist, and suddenly felt much refreshed.

"The inn. Shao Sifang replied faintly: "You can really sleep, hehe, get out of the car." ”

After the words fell, Shao Si took the lead in opening the curtain of the carriage and stepped out of the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the white-bearded old man who was driving the car spoke to Shao Sifang outside: "Guest officer, it's getting late, we can only stay here today, and the next post house is still far away!"

"Okay, let's stay here. Shao Sifang responded lightly.

Shao Liang also no longer stayed, followed off the carriage, sure enough, a post house is quietly located in front of the eyes, see that the construction of the post house is very simple, the small houses are made of thatch, and the yard of the post house is made of local materials, with the cut stump deep into the ground, in turn, forming the appearance of a wall, after entering the yard, the left is a grass shed for horses to recuperate, and the right is scattered with a few dining tables, I think it is a place for guests to drink and have fun.

Shao Liang sighed slightly, I didn't expect this post house to be so dilapidated, but when Shao Liang walked out a few steps and looked around, he was immediately relieved, because looking around, they are all deep mountains and old forests, and I am afraid that there is no longer any family with a lamp in a radius of 100 miles.

The white-bearded old man seemed to see Shao Liang's doubts, so he explained loudly: "This guest officer, there is only this post house within a radius of a hundred miles, and we ...... Had to stay here for one night, although it was shabby and not worthy of your distinguished status, but ......"

"It's okay! Uncle, I know the situation, it's okay, I think it's fine here......! Is there any wine here?" interrupted Shao Qi.

"Haha, don't worry, let the old man go and ask the store!" the white-bearded Lao Tzu trotted into the post house.

Shao Sifang glanced at the back of the white-bearded old man, then at Shao Qi, frowned, and said, "What?

"What? No, did Lao Liu say that he was not allowed to drink?" asked Shao Qi rhetorically.

Shao Sifang said coldly: "You'd better not make a mistake. ”

"Cut, Lao Tzu has a good amount of wine!" said Shao Ju, patting his chest.

"Huh. Shao Sifang sneered, and then took the lead in entering the post house.

Shao Liang also learned to sneer, and then followed into the post house, just walked into the post house, the white-bearded old man came to meet him, and laughed at the same time: "Hey, guest officer, you can be regarded as coming, the wine that the store has just sold today!"

"Haha, that's a good dare! Let's go to an altar first!" Shao Liang said in a big voice, and as he spoke, Shao Liang took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, handed it to the white-bearded old man, and then said loudly: "Uncle, I can trouble you to buy it!"

The white-bearded old man was stunned again for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then took the one hundred taels of silver tickets handed over by Shao Qi, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay! Guest officer, you just wait!"

The white-bearded old man turned and walked away towards the back kitchen of the inn, apparently to greet the shopkeeper to prepare the evening meal.

Seeing this, Shao Qi said to Shao Sifang: "Brother Sifang, what's the matter? Let's go outside and wait first?"

Shao Sifang didn't speak, just nodded, and followed Shao Liang to the dining table in the courtyard and sat down, silent, like a dumb person.

Shao Liang was bored alone, and he didn't use anyone else, so Shao Liang had no choice but to joke to Shao Sifang: "Hey, Brother Si Fang, why do you keep covering your face all the time? Could it be that you also cover your face when you eat for a while? How should you eat? Teach me!"

Shao Sifang responded coldly: "I have my own way. ”

"Hey, tell me about you, it's just the two of us here, can't you say a few more words? Besides, we are grasshoppers in the same boat now, if you jump up, I have to jump up too!" Shao Liang seemed to be very satisfied with his analogy, and looked at Shao Sifang with a smile.

Shao Sifang still didn't speak.

Shao Liang continued to joke loudly: "Hey, what do you say about Lao Liu?" Tsk, I can't see through him, you tell me that he has so many women, why do you have to worry about a Qiuru?"

Shao Sifang still didn't speak.

The young man pouted, and suddenly felt bored, and it happened that at this time, the white-bearded old man walked out with two shopkeepers with wine and food.

"All right, guest officer, here comes the food!" shouted the white-bearded old man.

Soon, under the placement of the two shopkeepers, a table full of wine and meat has been prepared, with all the color, flavor and flavor, the key is to have wine, and Shao Qi is very pleased.

"Uncle, sit down, let's have a drink together?" the young man invited to the white-bearded old man.

The white-bearded old man was stunned again for a moment, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, thank you guest officer!

"Why are you so angry? Everyone is here together! You have to eat and drink together!" said the young man.

However, the white-bearded old man kept refusing, and finally, the young man was no longer reluctant, and let the white-bearded old man leave.

But the white-bearded old man didn't go far, just after Shao Qi just opened the wine seal, the white-bearded old man turned back again, stood not far away, waved his hand at Shao Qi, and signaled Shao Qi to come over, Shao Qi was puzzled, looked at the white-bearded old man, and then looked at Shao Sifang, Shao Sifang was picking up the dishes and chopsticks, ready to tear off the black cloth on his face, and then eat.

Shao Liang said to Shao Sifang: "Brother Sifang, wait a minute! I see what is the matter with that uncle looking for me?"

"Yes. Shao Sifang nodded, and agreed.

Shao Yu got up and left, approached the white-bearded old man, and laughed loudly: "Uncle, what's the matter? Do you want to drink and eat meat with us again? You're welcome, just come!"

"Shhhhh......h

The young man was puzzled, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Could it be that there are not enough silver tickets? I still have ...... here."

The white-bearded old man finally mustered up his courage, then sighed lamentingly, and then said with relief: "Oh, guest officer, it's because you are too polite and generous, and you take too much care of the old man, and the old man doesn't want to hide it from you......!" This inn is a black shop! and old...... It's with them, too!"

"......What? I'm not treating you badly, am I? Why are you ......?" the young man was surprised.

Unexpectedly, the white-bearded old man complained: "It is precisely because you have not treated the old man badly, so the old man does not want to harm you......! Didn't I tell you the truth!"

"I'm the second Ao, so how do you ...... now?"

"Guest, don't be afraid, although you have come this far, the old man will do his best to save your life! As for your friend, the old man is really ......" The white-bearded old man was entangled.

However, at this moment, Shao Sifang, who was eating not far away, suddenly got up and shouted into the post house: "Xiao Er, come here!"

Hearing Shao Sifang's shout, the young man and the white-bearded old man both looked at Shao Sifang with a puzzled look......
