Chapter 204: Overnight

Out of Jinzhou City is a different world, Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan walked the official road, and you can still see carriages along the way.

"Madam, let me inquire, they have to travel for a day and a night to the next county inn, and they have to rush to a village to spend the night." He Wen came back to report.

Zhao Yunlan watched the other carriage stop to rest, and shouted to He Wen to stop the horse. So he sent He Wen to ask for directions, thinking about it, Zhao Yunlan also felt that she was a tiger, and everyone was not familiar with the terrain, so she went on the road so quickly.

The main reason is Zhao Yunlan's modern inertia, there is a sign everywhere when she goes out, and when she went to Fucheng before, Zhao Yunlan also arrived along the official road by herself. This time it was my own negligence, how many difficulties and dangers were hidden in this ancient world.

Another Li Mingren has become more and more dependent on Zhao Yunlan in recent years, so he thinks that Zhao Yunlan is also foolproof when he goes to the capital. So neither of them was ready to plan the route of the trip.

"Lady, let's hire a team of dart masters in the next county." Li Mingren proposed.

Zhao Yunlan nodded and agreed very much.

"It's just that we're going to find a place to live first, and then follow them in a moment. I don't want to sleep in the wild. ”

Li Mingren nodded and asked He Wen: "Are their pair going to the capital?" ”

He Wen shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it, they didn't say it explicitly, but their next place is to go to Shangyang County, the same as us." ”

Li Mingren understands that it is not good to talk to outsiders when he goes out, and it is already good for people to tell him where to stay. Looking at the carriage over there like a businessman, Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan didn't bother much. When they set off again, Zhao Yunlan was also ready to set off.

He Wen's carriage was in the back, not too far from the convoy in front, but it didn't make the family feel uncomfortable.

When it got dark, I estimated that it was time, and I saw a faint light in front of me.

"Madame, sir. The village should be in front of you. Ye Sheng sat next to He Wen to explore the way and reported the situation to the carriage.

Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan sighed in unison, they could be regarded as able to go to the ground. Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren naturally didn't dare to stop, worried that they would be left behind and not be able to find the road when they were left behind, mainly because it was not all official roads, and they had to take a small road when they entered the village. So Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren gritted their teeth and insisted on sitting in the carriage.

"Ye Sheng, I'll go and see which house is wider in a while, and then go in and ask." Zhao Yunlan instructed Ye Sheng.

Another team of chariots and horses had already entered the village, and Ho Wen followed closely behind.

After Ye Sheng took a quick look around the village, another team of centaurs had already moved in.

Ye Sheng came back and said, "Master, madam, the family they live in is the largest house in the village. ”

Zhao Yunlan was just about to speak, and an old man came out.

"Do you need to spend the night?" The old man asked.

Li Mingren nodded: "Yes, uncle, there is still a vacant room in your house." ”

The old man shook his head: "They can't live in my house, I can take you to live in another house." ”

Li Mingren nodded, and the carriage moved with the old man, and in a short distance, the old man took the initiative to reveal his identity. The old man is the head of this village, this village is called Xiaojia Village, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Xiao, which is the closest village to the official road in this vicinity. Therefore, there are often people in the village who are in a hurry to stay overnight. This is also a livelihood of this village.

The group just now lived in the village chief's house, and if the village chief's family could not live, they would be arranged to other villagers' homes. Li Mingren guessed that the group just now should be a regular visitor on this road.

As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, he came to the door of a family, which was not very big, and it was a house made of wood.

"Mrs. Liao, come out quickly." The old village chief shouted into the house.

At this time, a short, thin old woman came out, with a little lump on her back.

"Something is wrong with the village chief? The big dog hasn't gone out today, and he's already asleep by now. ”

"Don't look for your grandson, I'll bring you a guest. The beds at home are cleaned up, and these guests need accommodation. Call the big dog up to help boil the water, what to sleep. Catching fish and touching dogs everywhere every day, he still sleeps early. ”

The old village chief said with some hatred that iron is not steel.

Granny Liao on the other side was a little embarrassed, so she had to bend down: "He's not that kind of person, he just wants to help me." Hey~ Don't talk about it, thank you to the village chief. ”

The old village chief waved his hand: "Hurry up and clean up, don't delay the rest of the guests." ”

Turning his head to Li Mingren, he said: "Mrs. Liao's family is at the entrance of the village, which is convenient for you to hurry, and her family has a simple population, so it is more convenient for you to live." "The old village chief considered the female dependents in the carriage, and of course it was also to help a group of Liao Pozi's family.

Li Mingren knew the village chief's thoughts, but he didn't pay attention to it, and it was good to have a place to live when he went out.

The village chief stood for a while, watching the child called the big dog get up.

"Grandpa the village chief, go into the house and drink saliva." It was a girl smaller than a big dog who spoke.

"Haha, grandpa doesn't drink water anymore, our little girl is really good. Don't learn from your brother who is ignorant every day. ”

Xiaoya retorted in a low voice: "My brother is sensible, my brother has given Xiaoya a roasted sweet potato." ”

The village chief smiled: "Okay, I'll go back first, you guys hurry up and pack up." After speaking, he turned his head and bowed to Li Mingren and left.

Zhao Yunlan got out of the carriage at this time, and Chunxiang and He Hua followed behind and got out of the carriage with their baggage.

Mrs. Liao's house has a total of four rooms that can be lived, and two of them are empty houses.

Li Mingren originally thought that he would just clean up the two rooms, one for him and Ye Sheng and He Wen, and one for Zhao Yunlan and Chunxiang He Hua. But Zhao Yunlan didn't agree, the people had already cleaned it up, so let's live like this.

Li Mingren was a little reluctant to take up someone else's room, but Zhao Yunlan whispered: "They can charge more accommodation fees for one more room, so let's help." ”

Li Mingren's guilt dissipated at this time, and he helped Zhao Yunlan bring hot water, but in fact, the hot water was already placed at the door, and Li Mingren didn't need to go out of the house to get it.

The girl who asked Xiaoya to bring Zhao Yunlan a clean handkerchief, and Zhao Yunlan took it with a smile, but in the end it was useless. Zhao Yunlan brought a lot of toiletries before going out, but she was worried that she would not be used to it outside.

The child, named Big Dog, was outside to help He Wen feed the horses.

"This big brother, is this horse running fast?" The big dog asked cautiously.

He Wen saw that the child was interested in the horse and chatted: "Run fast." ”

Big Dog: "Can I touch it?" ”

He Wen: "Yes, you just can't touch your butt or pull your tail." ”

The big dog touched it boldly, and the horse snorted. It scared the big dog back a few steps, and the child suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha~"

Mrs. Liao was cooking in the stove room, listening to the laughter in the yard and shouting: "Big dog, you are quiet, don't bump into the guests." ”

Only then did the big dog rein in: "Got it, grandma." ”

He Wen knew that the big dog had vacated the room for himself and Ye Sheng, so he asked, "Where do you sleep at night?" ”

The big dog didn't care: "The stove room, the water will always be boiling at night, and the fire in the stove will not be extinguished." ”

He Wen looked at the stove room that was ventilated on all sides and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Liao Pozi came out with hot soup noodles, not noodles, but the kind of batter, thick noodles mixed with a small part of fine noodles and cooked, only a little salt was put in.

"Let's have dinner for two guests."

Zhao Yunlan brought some food and meat dishes on the road, she was too tired at this time, and it was late, Zhao Yunlan didn't want to toss, looking at the things in the bowl, she would just make do with it.

Xiaoya stood far away staring at a few people drinking hot noodle soup, and Mrs. Liao had no choice but to take a piece of cake for Xiaoya, which looked like it was made of thick noodles, dry, hard and black.

After eating some hot food, Zhao Yunlan felt a little pain in her head at this time, but she felt that she was tired from the journey, so she fell asleep without saying a word to Li Mingren.
