Chapter 162: The Little Inn
After everyone had lunch in Gongduwei, they continued to march towards the next stop, Andongwei.
Anton Wei belongs to Donglu, because it is adjacent to the sea, so it is rich in sea salt, and fishing and hunting are also developed, so it can be regarded as a developed place in the entire Donglu.
It is a distance of thousands of miles from Gongduwei to Anton Wei, and if you are equipped with a good horse, it only takes one day to arrive.
But a good horse is not so easy to find, and there are many people on this trip, and there are a lot of grain and grass weapons, so the speed of travel will naturally be discounted. Looking at the current speed of travel, it will take at least a day and a half to arrive.
Liu Luming, who had just made four catties of kelp in Gongduwei, had already lost his temper at this time, and now he was fanning the wind with the fan of the king's authority, but even so, it was not much cooler, but it was even hotter.
On the king's side, he meditated with his eyes closed, without the slightest sweat.
"Hey, I said Brother Wang, don't you feel hot at all?"
Wang Quanquan didn't raise his eyelids, and lightly spit out a few words: "The heart is calm and naturally cool." ”
"Yes, you're amazing."
The fan in Liu Luming's hand was about to smoke at this moment, and he was almost bare-chested.
Wang Quanquan is actually not meditating, although his cultivation is gone, but the benefits of cultivation are still there, at least he is more resistant to cold and heat than ordinary people.
Of course, the reason why he is so heat-resistant is mainly because before leaving Gongduwei, he specially asked the local guard for some ice cubes and secretly put them in the iron box under him, not to mention how cool his ass is.
Liu Luming on the side knew this, and he was really a master in the world.
But this can last an afternoon at most, and by tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be really difficult.
"I'm dying of thirst, Brother Wang, do you still have water?"
Liu Luming had been drinking water for an afternoon, and his water bladder had bottomed out at this time.
"I have ice water here, do you want it?"
"Oh? Where did you get it? ”
Liu Luming immediately came to his senses, seeing that it was almost evening, and he should be able to reach the next post station in a while, but he really couldn't bear it, not to mention ice water, it was hot water, and he could also make a cup of tea to drink.
"Close your eyes first."
"What?"
"Do you want to drink it?"
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up."
Wang Quanquan saw that the other party was honest and closed his eyes, so he began to make trouble.
Although Liu Luming is two, he is not stupid, will he really close if the king asks him to shut up? This guy seems to be honest, but in fact, he has already started peeking.
But the next scene he saw was completely cracked: he saw Wang Quanquan take out a broken bowl out of nowhere, then moved his buttocks, opened the box sitting under him, and then scooped out a bowl of ice water from it.
"Brother Wang, you are not righteous!"
Liu Luming couldn't bear it anymore, even if the other party secretly hid ice cubes to cool down, now he still wants to drink the ice water that blooms with his buttocks? It's a bit deceitful!
Wang Quanquan didn't feel embarrassed to see through it, after all, there were two cheeky people in the capital, one was Liu Luming, and the other was him, and the former was still the fur he learned.
He cleared his throat and said, "After sitting for so long, my ass is about to get frostbitten, and I don't know who is blessed to take my throne." ”
"I'm coming, I'm coming!
Liu Luming, who was still full of righteous indignation just now, was like a pug at this moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the broken bowl in the hands of the king, and then sat on the iron box, and then let out a cry of ecstasy: "Ah... Refreshing! ”
After speaking, don't forget to take a sip of ice water in the bowl.
……
Goutai Station is a small post station with a history of more than 100 years, this post station has existed since the Northern Yuan Dynasty, due to its special location, after the establishment of the dynasty, it has been preserved here, and it has continued until now.
Goutai Station occupies a small area, only four post soldiers, and the treatment here was not bad before, and the place was quite spacious.
Later, the imperial court re-planned the prefecture and county, and set up Yanzhou Mansion in the southwest of Goutaiyi, Yanzhou Mansion connected Andongwei and Gongduwei, the road was wide, and after several years of development, it has been quite prosperous.
Although the road to Andongwei via Goutai Station is much closer than that through Yanzhou Mansion, due to the rugged road, the time taken is similar to that of Yanzhou Mansion, which is farther away.
This also leads to fewer and fewer people walking here, and when time comes, the road is barren, and no one wants to go.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and just last year, the already small number of people in the ditch station ushered in another heavy rain.
Heavy rains caused houses to collapse and a postman was killed instantly by falling beams.
The above wanted to take this opportunity to cancel this post house, but the remaining few people really have deep feelings for this place, especially the old post man who has experienced the change of dynasties, and he has repeatedly gone to the county yamen to intercede, and the county order saw that he was pitiful, so he opened the net and allocated some money to repair this place, which saved the ditch post from the fate of being abolished.
However, the size of the inn has been reduced considerably, and the original three rooms have become one, and there will be no new post house to report on it in the future.
……
At this time, in the post house, a young man was carving something on the pillar, and a middle-aged man smiled on the side: "I said Hong Mao, can you stop tinkering with that pillar all the time, our post house has this one pillar left, if it collapses by you one day, see if the old aconitum knocks you on the head with a wine gourd." ”
The boy known as Hongmao looked to be less than twenty years old, and he was the youngest post man in the ditch station. I don't know if it's because he didn't grow up, or because he didn't keep up with his nutrition when he was a child, he is like a chick compared to the middle-aged man on the side.
Both of them are postmen of this post station, and in addition to them, there is also an old postman surnamed Wu.
After Hong Mao heard the banner of "Old Aconite", he was obviously a little worried, after all, it was thanks to him that he was able to keep the only pillar of this ditch station.
Although he was scared, he still said stiffly: "This is a peerless martial art, and we don't have a pen and paper in this small station, so I can only take the clod of soil and draw it on the pillar." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his head, and the middle-aged man on the side sighed when he heard this.
That's right, there is no pen and paper in a dignified station!
Originally, they had it, but the previous rainstorm not only took a life from the inn, but also took away all the paper and pencils.
After that, the old aconitum also applied to the above more than once, but it was not approved, not because of how expensive this thing was, but because the boss felt that it was not necessary.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, this post house has long lost its original role, and there is no need for things like pen and paper. Even the horses were drawn to the point that there was only one left, and it was still a slightly lame old horse.
Just as the two were silent, an old man came from outside the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he brought a smell of bad wine.
"Rabbit cubs, come to live here, there will be a big official here to spend the night, we have to make room for them."
"Will the big officials come to a place like ours?" The teenager on the side was the first to express disbelief.
When the old man heard this, he directly picked up the wine gourd and threw it at the young man, "You rabbit cub, you start to dislike the broken family before the hair grows?" ”
"Hey, old aconite, I warn you, I have practiced iron head skills, if your wine gourd is smashed, I won't pay for it!"
The old man, known as the old aconite, hurriedly put away the gourd when he heard this, this was one of his few treasures.
According to him, this was when he took advantage of a beautiful widow's inattention, and ripped it off the gourd vine in her yard, and every time he talked about this pretty widow, he had endless words, but when he got married, he didn't dare to say anything.
In Hong Mao's words, "The four of us are so big." ”
But since the last rainstorm, there has been one less person in the conversation.
