Xiao Er greeted him very warmly: "The guest officer wants to stay?" There is still one vacant room left in the shop. Wang Hou scratched his head: "Little second brother, why is there only one empty room?" ”

Xiao Er looked at the two of them and said: "It turns out that the two are not a couple, that is not very easy to do, my inn is the only Shuangquan Collection, usually full, if it is not for the luck of the two, someone just checked out, there is no one." ”

Wang Hou looked at Liu Hanyan. Liu Hanyan had no choice, so he just said: "Nerd, then let's stay first, if no one checks out after a while, then I can only wronged you to sleep in the corridor." ”

"Hehe, the girl is really good at laughing, my inn is built for dignitaries, the room is very large, there are two beds in it, which can be separated and not affected by each other." Wang Hou nodded: "That's the only way." ”

"Please hand over twenty taels of silver." Xiao Er took the money, beckoned another person to lead the horse, and led the two to the backyard. Entering the backyard, the two suddenly felt that their eyes were bright and open, and they saw that there were more than 20 rooms opposite, and there were also more than 10 rooms in the east and west compartments, all of which were verandahs with twists and turns, carved beams and paintings. The courtyard is formed by the room enclosure, the depth is ten zhang, the width is more than 20 zhang, there are two rockeries on the east and west sides, the rockery is three storeys high, the flowing spring is murmuring, there is a pool of five zhang square in the middle of the courtyard, steaming hot.

Xiao Er led the two of them along the stone-filled road to the west chamber, opened one of them, and it was really twice as large as an ordinary room, there was a couch outside, the bedding was neatly folded, the bed in the middle was very gorgeous, the bed frame was finely carved, and the bed was neat and clean, with a pink curtain.

In the middle of the room there is a round wooden barrel, the barrel is half a person high, next to the barrel is a beautifully carved basin rack, on which there are red, white, green three solid color towels, the basin rack box is placed with soap horns, bath beans, there are several screens on the right side of the middle, at this time they are together, on the left wall hangs a word, "I am not comfortable, drive to the east." The owner opened the old hall and kept the guests drunk Xinfeng. The trees are green around the hot springs, and the dust covers the red at night. From now on, he walked on his feet. There was a scarlet carpet on the floor, and Liu Hanyan was very happy to see it: "Nerd, let's live here." ”

"Childe, girl, the water in the courtyard is the famous Banyu Hot Spring, you can bring it over in a small bucket and pour it into the big wooden barrel in a while, the water temperature is high, beware of burning. Our hot springs here have the effect of detoxifying and soothing the nerves, clearing the pulse and invigorating the blood, and the barrels and towels are disinfected with salt water every day, so please feel free to use them. ”

The two of them thanked themselves. Liu Hanyan put down his burden: "Nerd, go and bring a few buckets of water, I want to take a shower now." Wang Hou brought more than ten buckets of water from the pool in the courtyard, and the water temperature was really high, and after a while, the room was foggy. Just as he put the bucket back in the courtyard, Liu Hanyan slammed the door and closed the curtains and screens.

Wang Hou asked softly outside the door, "Do you still need to add water?" Liu Hanyan smiled but did not answer. About half an hour, I suddenly heard an exclamation inside, and Wang Hou asked anxiously: "Yan'er, what's wrong?" There was no answer, but there was still an exclamation.

Wang Hou shook the latch of the door with a palm, and a slender figure was faintly seen standing in the middle through the screen, and when he heard the door being pushed open, he retracted back into the bucket again: "Nerd, what are you doing, hurry up and get out!" ”

Wang Hou stood stupidly for a long time: "Yan'er...... Are you okay, what are you screaming? ”“…… I—I saw a spider fall...... Go out. ”

Wang Hou sighed: "I thought something was wrong, so it turned out to be like this...... It can't be intentional, right? A red towel was thrown out with a "snap" in the room, which hit his back right on, and a large piece of his shirt was wet, so frightened that he quickly took the door and escaped.

After a while, Liu Hanyan opened the door, and he had already changed out of the red clothes and became a red and purple dress decorated with silk, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with large sleeves and a round neck. She already had a complexion of Saixue, but after bathing at this time, she was lined with a golden dot in the middle of her forehead, which made her look even more slender and delicate, which made Wang Hou stammer.

"Nerd, what did you just say, what do you mean by deliberate?" Wang Hou hesitated: "No...... Who said it was on purpose? "Look at you're not a good person," Liu Hanyan squirted, "you go and change the water and take a bath." ”

Wang Hou spit out: "I...... Can I not change the water? Seeing Liu Hanyan stretching out his hand and twisting it, he hurriedly stepped back, but hit his head on the porch, touched his head and said, "What are you doing?" "Who told you to be dishonest, go quickly!"

Wang Hou changed the hot water again, took off his clothes, and jumped into the vat. The water is really refreshing, the blood vessels of the whole body are dilated, and soaked in it, like a spring breeze and a mouth plug is suddenly opened.

Liu Hanyan had already taken Wang Hou's changed clothes outside the courtyard, washed them with pool water, and saw that the hem of the robe was torn, and he didn't bring a needle and thread, so he asked for needle money from the front counter and sewed it clumsily.

After a while, Wang Hou also took a bath, changed into a green cloth shirt and pants with wide sleeves, soap silk, and a round neck, and his hair was tied up with mesh, and the whole person looked extremely energetic. As soon as he walked to the courtyard, he heard Liu Hanyan's "ah", and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, only to see Liu Hanyan put his left index finger in his mouth, and hurriedly asked, "Yan'er, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Hanyan's face flushed: "It's nothing, I was accidentally poked by a needle." Wang Houmao held her left hand with his hands and feet, his index finger was still oozing blood, and he stuffed his finger into his mouth. Liu Hanyan's face turned even redder, and he didn't break free after a while, but after a while, he heard Wang Hou ask softly: "My shirt is torn, what are you doing with it?" "I like it, I want you to take care of it so much."

It's getting dark. Wang Hou said: "Yan'er, let's go out for dinner and take a look at the night view by the way, okay?" Liu Hanyan said happily: "Okay, I like to watch the night view." ”

The Bantang Inn is on the outskirts of the county, and you can see the rolling mountains when you go out. The two walked along the stone road, at this time, Wang Hou stretched out his hand to Liu Hanyan, she was thrown away, and he was not discouraged, and after a while, he stretched out again, this time Liu Hanyan stared ahead, as if he didn't know that his hand was held.

"Yan'er, is the scenery beautiful here?" Liu Hanyan nodded: "It's good-looking, it's different from our sunshine, we go out there is the sea, as far as the eye can see, if the moon rises at night, you can see the sea surging, it's very beautiful, you must go and see it if you have the opportunity." ”

Wang Hou said: "Of course I will go, but I don't know if the event you are talking about can really help." Liu Hanyan said: "It doesn't matter, there is my father, the event is to determine the personnel who will follow Zheng He's voyage." Wang Hou sighed: "I have heard about Zheng He's trip to the West, he has gone to the West five times in the past fifteen years, and is he going to the West for the sixth time?" ”

"Yes, my father has only been the leader of the Sun Sect for three years, and when Zheng He went to sea the first five times, my father was not the sect leader. This time, my father attached great importance to it, and asked my brother and me, Senior Sister Yan, and Senior Brother Zhao to come to Nanjing in mid-February to ask someone to help, wanting to strive for more convenience for our Sun Sect. ”

"How's that going?" "Well, it's going well, the court said that our people in Rizhao grew up on the beach and knew how to sail, so they have agreed, and this time a captain will be set up in Rizhao, but it must be selected by competition."

Wang Hou heard the words and said: "It turns out that he is just the captain, so what is there to fight for?" "Nerd, you don't understand that. Zheng He went to sea, and every time he went to sea, there were more than 200 big ships and more than 20,000 people, and the formation was huge. My dad thinks that being able to go to sea together also seems to have face in the Sun, this time my dad just wants to get a captain, don't underestimate this captain, there are one or two thousand people on each ship, and each captain of the previous few times has a big official position. ”

When Wang Hou heard this, his hands tightened. Liu Hanyan said: "Nerd, there is a place to eat over there, let's go over there." ”

After eating, the two paced back to the inn and lit candles. Wang Hou sighed: "Alas, it's really unlucky, no one checked out, I can only sleep in the corridor tonight." Liu Hanyan pursed his lips and smiled: "Nerd, let's talk about conversation, and then you can sleep outside, I have martial arts, you are a weak scholar, will you still be afraid of you?" ”

"But men and women don't give and receive ......" "We don't pay attention to these things when we walk the rivers and lakes...... However, if you don't sleep properly, don't blame me for being rude. "Yan'er, what do you mean by unruly, how can you be polite?" "You know anyway...... Nerd, you don't know martial arts, why do you dare to fight hard in front of those stinky monks...... What about protecting me? ”

Wang Hou smiled: "Yan'er, not everything in this world depends on force, how many problems can be solved by fighting, killing and killing?" For example, in Huacheng Temple, although the abbot of Guangjing was overwhelmed, he did not get the nine-colored lotus in the end. ”

"Well, later at Uncle Zhu's place, I heard you say that the nine-colored lotus flower is a Buddhist thing, and only Buddhist monks can have it, and he said that it was his own blessing to be obtained by the little monk Daofeng...... I like that little monk very much, he is very clever. ”

Wang Hou smiled: "No, I think you like nerds very much." Liu Hanyan took a sip: "I don't like nerds." ”

In the midst of talking and laughing, time flies, and I don't realize that it is already a child's time. Wang Hou was a little sleepy and said, "Yan'er, go to bed early, I have to take a boat for a day tomorrow." The two of them lay down separately, and after a while the candle flickered and went out, and the room suddenly darkened, and the moonlight outside the window shone quietly into the house like water. Wang Hou said: "Smoke, there is a candle on the table, I'll light it." ”

"No, nerd, I love the moonlight." "But I'm blocked by a screen, and I can't see the moonlight." "Then you won't pull it away, it's really nerdy......" Wang Hou closed the screen, the room became brighter, and went back to bed and lay down. The room was silent, and it seemed that they could hear each other's "pounding" heartbeats.

After a while, Liu Hanyan turned over: "Nerd, I'm not afraid of taking a boat, let's talk about conversation......"
