In the pouring rain, the master and servant braved the rain to advance, and they were soaked.

After running forward for more than 30 miles, knowing that the road was slippery and dark, it was indeed impossible to go any further, so Shen Chi had no choice but to stop with Ah Yue and rest in a nearby tea shed.

The tea shed was originally used for pedestrians on the side of the road to rest their feet temporarily, and when they saw the two of them coming in like chickens in soup, Xiao Er was very surprised, and hurriedly went up to help lead the horse, and brought hot tea to the two of them.

Shen Chi wiped his wet face casually, and wringed out the water on his wet clothes for a few more minutes before sitting down at the table.

There was no one else in the tea shed, and Xiao Er gave the two of them another hot meal, so he stood aside and gossiped: "Two guest officers from the north?" ”

Shen Chi didn't speak, Ah Yue glanced at him, and then said "um".

The little second said: "This rain has been falling for a while, and there is a village thirty miles away, why don't the two guest officers settle there?" ”

Ah Yue glanced at Shen Chi, and then replied for him: "We are in a hurry to pick up people." ”

"I see." Xiao Er said, but sighed, "It's just that if you go further, you have to be sixty miles away to have a place to stay, and the rain will not stop tonight, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to rush anymore." ”

When Shen Chi heard this, his heart suddenly moved.

Calculating the time and distance, Zhao Fuling and his party should be within a radius of twenty miles at the latest, and they can't stop at those sixty miles away.

Could it be that they have already passed through here?

After drinking a bowl of hot tea, Shen Chi finally opened his mouth, he lifted his eyes and asked Xiao Er, "I asked you about something." ”

Xiao Er said enthusiastically: "The guest officer just said." ”

Shen Chi said: "On this road, what carriages pass by?" There was a beautiful woman in the car. ”

"That's a lot." Xiao Er said brightly, "On this road in front of the tea shed, there are many people coming and going from the north and south, not to mention women, there are all kinds of people." ”

Shen Chi was silent and added: "From the direction of Shangjing, at least two carriages. Among them were young men, about five or six people. ”

Xiao Er pondered for a moment, and finally said uncertainly: "In the evening today, there is a team of people and horses who have rested here, but not two carriages, there are three of them. ”

"The carriage is big and beautiful, and it looks like the son of a rich family. And there are a lot of people, not only five or six, but the three carriages in the front and back add up, at least a dozen people! ”

Seeing that Shen Chi's eyes shrank slightly, and he was still listening carefully, the little second said again: "But whether it's from Beijing or not, I don't know." ”

Ah Yue also had some guesses in his heart, and asked in front of Shen Chi, "Then do you know where they are going?" ”

"It's also the north, right? But I don't know if the northwest is due north, and I don't dare to ask more about those fierce gods with knives. ”

Shen Chi almost had a judgment in his heart, and he rolled his Adam's apple quickly a few times and got up suddenly.

"Ah Yue, let's go back!"

Ah Yue didn't dare to delay, hurriedly threw down a few copper plates, and stepped to follow.

Xiao Er was surprised: "Huh...... It's raining so hard! ”

Before they could finish speaking, the two men turned on their horses, turned around and turned back.

The rain was rapid, and the figures of the two men became more and more blurred in the night, until they finally disappeared completely.

Xiao Er was stunned for a long time, put away the copper plate on the table, and shook his head: "Strange ......"

The horses were getting faster and faster, and Shen Chi's heart slowly rose as the village appeared in front of him.

The night was dark, and there was silence except for the sound of raindrops hitting the ground.

After entering the village, he turned over and dismounted to carefully observe the traces of the wheels on the ground, and finally followed the traces and led the horse to a small farm yard.
