Chapter Twenty-Eight: Arrival
I don't know how long it was, but I heard a sentence from the front of the carriage:
"The destination has arrived", hearing the voice of the groom in front of him, the two carriages stopped separately, and the people on the carriage also got off one after another, the old woman slowly got out of the car under the support of Lan Yi, and still held her sleeping grandson in her arms, Lan Yi said to the old woman: "The old man has arrived, you first find an inn to live in, don't freeze your body when the weather is cold at night,"
After speaking, Lan Yi took out a small bag of silver taels and stuffed them to the old woman, the old woman couldn't let go because she was holding her grandson in her arms, so she could only accept it when she saw the silver taels that were stuffed into her hands, but this time the old woman didn't thank her again and again as before, but looked at Lan Yi and turned around and left, looking at the old woman who was far away, Lan Yi also slowly turned around, and the girl in her body saw Lan Yi's actions at this time and asked:
"You said it's so late, why did you let them go?"
Hearing the girl's question, Lan Yi said with a serious face:
"You know the purpose of my visit this time, I don't want to bother them. I've given them enough silver taels to stay here for a long time,"
Hearing Lan Yi's explanation, the girl also understood, so she stopped talking. Lan Yiyi and his party stayed near the carriage after getting out of the car, and Lan Yi looked around. It was found that it was empty, just a small alley that was dark and did not see the light. The place where I am just feels like the door of a certain house, and then look at the front, the two grooms in my village are standing outside the door and talking to the people inside the door, and after a while, I saw two grooms waving to the people on their side at the same time, so Lan Yi and the others followed the guidance of the groom and walked into the gate one after another, when Lan Yi and the others went in, the bandits and others who followed behind were rotten, and when they saw that they were blocked, the bandit boss was very annoyed, and yelled at the housekeeper:
"What do you mean by that?"
was yelled at by the bandit boss like this, and the originally thin family couldn't help but shudder. Seeing that the other party was eyebrow-raising and still carrying knives, they didn't look like good people, so the family said tremblingly:
"Uncle. The list of the number of people reported by Hujia Village before is ten people, plus two horsemen, it is only twelve, although there is one more person at present, but this is also easy to deal with, but we really can't arrange for you thirty or forty people,"
Listening to Jia Ding's answer, the bandit boss felt that he was in charge, and at the same time, in order not to affect the rest of Lan Yi and the others, he said.
"Hu Daxia, let's stay in the neighborhood for a night, come and wait for you tomorrow morning," Lan Yi nodded, and after speaking, the bandit boss left immediately with a group of people, watching the bandit boss lead people away, the family also breathed a sigh of relief, so he closed the gate in the courtyard. smiled and said to Lan Yi and the others:
"Hello villagers from Hujia Village, I am the housekeeper of this courtyard, you will stay here for the past few days, and I will wake you up tomorrow morning, because tomorrow's selection will start here, you have been traveling very hard all day, I will send you to your resting room later,"
After speaking, everyone nodded to understand, and then the housekeeper took Lan Yi and the others to send them to the room, from entering the courtyard door to entering the room, but only walked a small corridor The distance is not very far, because the sky is dark, the surrounding environment can not be seen clearly, can only feel that the temperature in this town seems to be colder than in the village, the housekeeper walked to the end of the corridor and slowly opened a door, after Lan Yi and others entered the room, the housekeeper found a few oil lamps from nowhere, and put them in a few corners of the room, as the flame of the oil lamp burned bigger and bigger, the visual range of the room became larger and larger, and I saw that the room was furnished and simple, There is a single bed with white sheets in the innermost part of the room, and there is a very ordinary round table in front of the bed, and there is no furnishings around the position where they are standing now, in short, there is only one bed and one table in this room, at this time, Hu Luanbian, who was standing at the back of the room, was the first to speak:
"There is only one bed in the room, so how can we rest?"
Hearing Hu Luanbian's question, the housekeeper was also embarrassed, so he said:
"yes, resources are limited here, and we don't have so many beds,"
Hu Luanbian was furious when he heard the butler's answer, and said:
"You knew the number of people we came before, so you should be ready, so why did Lu appear like this?"
The butler was an honest man, so his expression was very sincere, and the butler said:
"It's not a secret, your Hujia Village is the last to arrive here, there are people from neighboring villages living in our compound, and they arrived first, so a lot of beds are used by them, and the number of people reported by each village is very inconsistent with the actual arrival, you can temporarily deal with it tonight, and I will definitely find a way tomorrow,"
"I see, you're giving everything to someone else, right? I won't be difficult for you, you take me to a room in another village, I'll ask for this,"
At this time, Hu Luanbian took it out again with a hooligan unreasonable energy, in fact, Lan Yi and Master Rabbit have no problem with this living environment, even if they find a stool to sit on for a few nights, there is no problem, everyone else is from the countryside, and the living requirements are not high, as long as the house does not leak rain, just lie on the ground casually, but Hu Luanbian has to pretend to be from a big family, the housekeeper is really embarrassed to look at Hu Luanbian's unrelenting appearance, seeing that the housekeeper is speechless for a long time, Hu Luanbian continued: " Then you go to the owner of this yard and I'll talk to him. ”
When the housekeeper heard this, he was even more embarrassed, and simply said:
"There's no master here,"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the butler sighed when he saw everyone's expressions and said:
"Hey~ Actually, this is just the original "sacrificial artifact" storage of incense warehouse, but after the country abolished the worship of the artifact, this warehouse was also abandoned, I used to manage the warehouse here, although this place has been deserted but I have feelings for here, so I stayed, the mayor also hopes that I can stay here, in case the state resumes the policy one day, it can still be used here, so give me a little silver every month to let me stay here,"
After listening to the housekeeper's explanation, everyone nodded in acceptance, and seeing that the people around him had no opinions, Hu Luanbian was embarrassed to say anything more. Seeing that these people were finally appeased, the housekeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said:
"I won't bother you. Rest well, I will live next to you, and you can come to me at any time if you have anything,"
