Chapter 40: Walking with Beauty
ended this farce, Xiao Zheng didn't delay long, packed some meals, and continued to hurry with Xiao Chunzi.
In order to rush to Liangzhou as soon as possible, the two did not stay at the inn.
By the evening, it had already arrived near Shennongjia. Seeing that it was getting late, the two immediately decided to spend the night on the mountain.
Relying on their memories, the two led their horses to the mountain, and they remembered that when they passed by Shennongjia on the way back to Beijing, they also saw a hunter's spare hut on the mountain.
When he came to the front of the hut, he saw a white horse tied to the door, and the house was already lit up.
Seeing that there were people in the house, Xiao Chunzi tied the horse and knocked on the door, "Hello, I missed the hour in a hurry, passing by your place, can you make it convenient to stay here for a night?" ”
There was no response from the house, so Junzi repeated it again.
Just when Junko was impatient and wanted to push the door in, the door gently opened from the inside.
A woman in white, wearing a light veil, walked out.
The three looked at each other and already recognized each other.
Xiao Zheng walked in front of the woman and bowed his hand, "I don't know if the girl is here, please bear with me." If it's inconvenient, I'll change places in the next place~"
The woman saw that the two of them were not dressed like bandits, so she hesitated for a moment, thinking that she was also staying here, and it was not good to drive others away, "They are all children of the rivers and lakes, there is nothing inconvenient." The room is quite spacious, so the two of them can do their own thing. ”
Xiao Zheng saw that the woman was not as fierce as when she was in the restaurant at noon, and it shouldn't be so difficult to get along with, so he glanced at Xiao Chunzi, "Then thank you girl~"
Xiao Chunzi took the luggage to the house, looked at the ready-made hay in the house, laid it neatly, took out a wool blanket and spread it on it, which was also neat.
Xiao Zheng looked at the woman sitting on the hay, immediately walked over, took his wool blanket, and walked towards her, "Girl, it's more comfortable to put on this~"
The woman raised her eyes to look at the blanket he handed over, and didn't reach out to take it, "No need, thank you~"
Xiao Zheng also saw that she should be embarrassed, how could there be a woman who didn't like to be clean, she must have come out in a hurry without luggage.
"The girl doesn't have to be polite, just take it as a reward for the night~"
The woman still didn't pick it up, and shook her head, "I'm also staying overnight, so I don't need to pay the honorarium." ”
"Then treat it as if I sold it to you, you can pay me a fee~" Xiao Zheng continued to raise the woolen blanket in his hand and handed it to the woman.
The woman hesitated for a moment, feeling that it made sense, "Okay~ How much?" ”
As he spoke, he took out his purse from his waist and wanted to pay Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng saw her movements and smiled, "Ten thousand taels~"
"What? You..."Sensing that Xiao was teasing her, the woman's eyes immediately widened, this was the rhythm of anger.
"Haha~ I'm kidding you, take it~"
As he spoke, Xiao gently threw the woolen blanket on top of her hay shop.
Feeling Xiao Zheng's kindness, the woman was suddenly a little embarrassed, and her face seemed to turn red, "Thank you~"
"It's okay, you also said it, they are all children of the rivers and lakes, and it is appropriate to help each other when they go out~" Xiao Zheng walked back to his hay shop, where Xiao Chunzi had already laid out his wool blanket for him.
A joke broke the embarrassment just now, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
It was still early, and several people were not sleepy, and the woman took the initiative to ask, "Are you going to participate in the martial arts conference?" ”
Seeing the woman asking, Xiao Zheng shook his head, "No, we are going to Liangzhou to find relatives." ”
"To Liangzhou?" The woman didn't expect that the two of them were also going to Liangzhou, and immediately became vigilant.
Xiao Zheng saw the woman's expression and was a little puzzled, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Going to Liangzhou to find relatives? Don't you know that Liangzhou is being affected right now? The woman continued to cross-examine.
Xiao Zheng sighed, "Alas~ I just knew that I was affected by the disaster before I went to look for relatives, my cousin's family is in Jiayuan County, Liangzhou, I heard that the disaster there is very serious, my father is not at ease, so I asked me to see if my cousin's family is okay~"
Seeing that Xiao Zheng didn't seem to be lying, the woman also relieved herself, "Jiayuan County is indeed seriously affected, and now many people can't eat." ”
Xiao Zheng didn't expect the woman to know the situation in Liangzhou, and suddenly became interested, "The girl knows the situation in Liangzhou?" Can you tell us about it? ”
The woman saw that Xiao Zheng was in a hurry, so she told him about the situation in Liangzhou, but did not mention the matter of corrupting officials and harming the people.
Xiao Zheng frowned for a long time after listening to the woman, it seems that the situation in Liangzhou is indeed not optimistic.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Zheng turned his head to look at the woman again, "Girl, do you mean to go to Jiayuan County?" ”
The woman didn't hide it, and nodded, "My master, they are all in Jiayuan County, and I'm rushing to find them to meet them now." ”
Hearing the woman say that she would go to Jiayuan County to meet her master, Xiao Zheng smiled and asked, "I don't know what school the girl inherits?" Oh, if it's inconvenient to say, forget it. ”
The woman did not shy away from "I am from the Emei faction~"
Xiao Zheng didn't expect her to be from the Emei faction, and immediately hugged his fists, "I didn't expect it to be a woman from the Emei faction, disrespectful and disrespectful~"
The woman returned the salute, "Don't dare~ I don't know where the young man is?" ”
Xiao Zheng smiled, "I'm ashamed, I'm not a big man in the next door, when I was a child, my father invited a master for me, and I have been practicing blindly with the master since I was a child~ By the way, in Xia Xiao Bufan, I haven't asked the girl for her name?" ”
The woman didn't twist either, "Little girl An Xin, I've seen Senior Brother Xiao~"
"Senior Sister An is good~ I went out for the first time in the next time, and I don't have enough experience in the rivers and lakes, so I hope Senior Sister An will give me more advice~"
An Xin was suddenly a little embarrassed, "I also just came down the mountain, I can't talk about advice, since we are on the same road, we can go together, and there can be a response on the road~"
Xiao Zheng was even happier when he heard this, he had a familiar leader in the journey, and he was also a peerless beauty, so he naturally couldn't ask for it, "Then thank you Senior Sister An for leading the way." ”
After getting acquainted with each other, Xiao Zheng also saw his appearance, and An Xin took off her veil with a red face.
Even if he had seen it at noon, and now looking at An Xin's reddened pretty face under the candlelight, Xiao Zheng still swallowed his saliva.
An Xin looked at him, quickly turned around, and lay quietly without talking.
The room fell silent for a moment, except for the sound of each other's breathing.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, the sky was already bright.
Xiao Zheng stood up, and An Xin was also about to get up, the two looked at each other, and both smiled and nodded.
Walking out of the room, Xiao Zheng sat down on a stone on the side of the mountain and began to meditate.
An Xin looked at Xiao Zheng's practice method and looked puzzled, "This is a bit like the Taoist technique of spitting." Although I haven't seen it, there are records in the scripture building of Mount Emei, which is very similar to Xiao Zheng's practice method. ”
Without thinking much about it, An Xin also cultivated Buddhist scriptures next to her.
When the two of them got up, Xiao Chunzi had already heated up breakfast, and the two took the meatloaf and chewed it slowly.
"Senior Brother Xiao, looking at the way you practiced just now, it seems to be a Taoist method~ Your master is a disciple of Taoism?" An Xin remembered the way Xiao Zheng was practicing just now, and asked softly.
Xiao Zheng nodded, "My master is a Taoist disciple and taught me some breathing methods, and my junior sister also knows Taoist techniques?" ”
An Xin didn't notice his change of title, and shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, but I've seen similar books, and the methods mentioned on them are similar to the way Senior Brother Xiao practiced just now." ”
Xiao Zheng didn't explain much, the three of them hurriedly finished breakfast, turned over their horses, and rushed to Liangzhou together.
Handsome men and beautiful women walked together, less tired of hurrying, and had rushed to Shuangquan Town in one day.
After Shuangquan Town is the boundary of Jiayuan, the three of them looked at the gradually darkening sky, and knew that they would definitely not be able to catch up with Jiayuan today.
Xiao Chunzi looked at an inn in front of him and asked Xiao Zheng, "Childe, why don't we rest here for one night today?" ”
Xiao Zheng looked at An Xin and saw her nodding, "Okay, let's settle down in Shuangquan Town today." ”
The three of them walked into the inn, and immediately greeted Xiao Er, "Three guest officers, are you going to stay in the hotel?" ”
Xiao Chunzi immediately replied, "Live in the hotel and open three upper rooms." ”
Xiao Er looked at the three of them and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, three, the local room is full, but there is still a courtyard, you see..."
Hearing that there was not enough room, Xiao Junzi was immediately unhappy, "There is no room?" How many people can live in this part of your town? ”
Xiao Er looked at Xiao Chunzi's face, and immediately smiled all over his face, "Don't be angry, this master, I really haven't lived in it before, but there are too many guests left in the past few days, and it's full every day, if I have a room, I can't give it to you, right?" ”
Xiao Chunzi thought about it, "Are there any other inns near here?" ”
"There is only one inn in Shuangquan Town, or the three of them will be on it, in fact, the courtyard is very exquisite, that is, there are only two rooms, and you will definitely be able to live in it."
Xiao Chunzi looked at Xiao Zheng and waited for him to make a decision.
Xiao Zheng thought for a while, "Take us to see the yard first~"
"Okay, three inside, please~" Xiao Er hurriedly led the way and walked towards the courtyard behind.
The yard is not big, a master room, a small subordinate room.
The master room is okay, there is a narrow bed in the lower room, and it can only live for the next person.
The configuration of Xiao Zheng's three people is a bit difficult to arrange, An Xin is a girl, and she must not let her family sleep in a narrow room. But if Xiao Zheng and Xiao Chunzi sleep in the lower room and can't live, it will be a bit embarrassing.
When Xiao Zheng was hesitating, An Xin also saw the problem and took the initiative to say, "It's okay, I live in this room alone, and the two of you live in the big room, it's good." ”
"Then what's the matter, you live in a big room, and the two of us live in a small room~" Xiao Zheng naturally wouldn't let An Xin live in a simple subordinate room.
Xiao Chunzi saw that they were humble to each other, and then said, "I was originally a subordinate, this small room must be my residence, you two live in a big room~"
After listening to Xiao Chunzi, the two of them suddenly became embarrassed.
Xiao Er looked at the expressions of the three of them, and immediately laughed, "Then it's decided, the little one will prepare tea and meals for the three of them, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Chunzi immediately threw him five taels of silver, "Clean up the room again, add a bedding, feed the horses, prepare meals and wash feet~"
"Okay, please okay~" Seeing that Xiao Chunzi was so generous, Xiao Er immediately went to the front to prepare a meal happily.
Seeing that An Xin blushed and didn't speak, Xiao Zheng glared at Xiao Chunzi and smiled at An Xin, "Why don't we go to the front to eat first, I'm hungry after a day's journey." ”
An Xin nodded, did not speak, and walked towards the front hall.
