Chapter Thirty-Six: Staying in a Small Town
After this battle, everyone was a little sluggish, Shifang lowered his little head and didn't know what to think, and with the bumpy carriage swaying, I was not in the mood to comfort him, and it shook with a while.
There are so many questions I want to ask Fuhua, but I don't know where to start, and I can't guarantee that Fuhua will tell the truth, he has so many secrets, in the past, I just didn't care about it and politely didn't get to the bottom of it. But now, there is already a chase and killing, although I am not afraid of anything, but getting along with each other in such a confused way is not something that can be easily brought by me and him.
When the group arrived at the town in front of them, it was already midnight, and it was the cold wind of the winter night, and everyone in the town was sleeping soundly, not to mention people on the street, not even ghosts!
We searched for a long time but couldn't find an inn where we could stay, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious in my heart, could it be that I wanted to spend the night in the carriage? Fuhua and I didn't care where we stayed, but the body of the ten directions was about to get better, and it took so much mental power to spend so much time to surpass the soul, and the Shenyuan was already very expensive, so I had to rest well.
In a hurry, an old voice accompanied by a suppressed cough sounded in the dark corner of the street, "Ahem...... Are you looking for an inn?"
With the sound, a hunchbacked old man walked out with a gong in one hand and a shabby padded jacket in the other. It turned out to be an old man who was on duty in the town.
Fuhua turned over and dismounted, and politely hugged his fists and said: "I'm delayed on the road, I only arrived in the town at this hour, dare to ask the old man, how can there be an inn in the town for me to stay?"
The old man took out a pipe tremblingly and smoked it, glanced at the carriage and entourage behind Fuhua, and said, "Ahem...... Here to the south, meet the T-shaped road to the west, the intersection of the red lantern is hung is, the town is the only inn, cough cough ...... Ahem, hey, the world is not peaceful now, young people, it's better to walk less at night!"
Fuhua hugged his fist at the old man, "Thank you old man", and casually took out some silver coins and stuffed them into the old man's hand, "It's cold and the night is cold, the old man takes a bowl of wine to warm up......
When the old man saw Fuhua like this, he didn't say much, and his old face rarely showed a smile, thanked him, and held it in his arms.
We followed the old man's direction, turned two streets, and sure enough, we saw a red lantern hanging in front of the door of a courtyard, and when the cold wind was howling, the lantern shook and turned, almost extinguished, and the light was very dim.
Harang went to knock on the door, for a long time, the wooden door "squeaked" and opened a small crack, a man who looked like a man poked his head out with sleepy eyes with a lantern, saw a line of carriages and horses in front of the door, yawned and asked: "The guest officer is staying?"
Harang reached out and took out two ingots of silver from his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Is it enough?"
The guy immediately smiled when he saw the silver money, rubbed his sleepy eyes vigorously, opened the door wide and beckoned us into the courtyard, and while he was busy leading the horse to the stable, he called out to the boss: "Shopkeeper, there is a distinguished guest ......"
The group entered the guest room separately according to the greeting, and ordered the store to make some simple meals on the stove and send them to the house, and ordered to boil hot water for bathing.
Fortunately, although this inn is small, it is still clean, and the hot water is sufficient, I handed over the ten directions to Fuhua to take care of, got into the bath barrel that was bubbling with a white mist, and immediately felt comfortable from head to toes, and then "......" a long moan and relaxed. When I came out of the tub and changed into a clean dress, the innkeeper's little daughter had already put her food on the table, and I pinched the little girl's face and stuffed a candy into her mouth, and the little girl went out with a giggle.
The food on the table was quite rich, probably Fuhua instructed the store to take special care, and there was a pot of wine, I opened the lid and smelled it, and sure enough, it was the mulberry that we had drunk together.
I can't help but lament that Fuhua has always been able to warm my heart unexpectedly from these subtleties, but now, the two of them are getting along so confused, they can't be honest with each other, they each have their own unspeakable pasts, and they don't know what the road ahead is, which is really embarrassing.
was lamenting, and heard the door slammed lightly, "Hongyi, can you sleep?"
I rubbed my face, trying to calm my face, and after a while, I got up and opened the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Fuhua holding two delicate silver cups in front of me, and said with a smile: "The night is long, can you have a drink and talk?"
I looked at the stars in Fuhua's eyes, and I was stunned, and I nodded in anticipation, "Okay......"
