Far from the rivers and lakes?

Not far.

It's all around you.

Are the rivers and lakes very close?

Not close.

You can't see its shore.

Li Chenan originally had great expectations for the rivers and lakes.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that this expectation was like he had gone to the ends of the earth in his previous life...... As big as the expectations, there are as many disappointments as there are.

Isn't it good to stay in a warm room?

Even if you travel, you sit in an airtight carriage with a charcoal fire, soft cushions, and warm blankets, and the pleasing girl by your side...... Isn't that more comfortable?

But now?

The wind is like a knife.

Swept by the snowstorm.

It seems to be pouring endless rage, slashing the vast land frantically.

It was as if everything in the world was to be chopped to pieces, destroyed, and then buried in this frenzied snow.

Don't say that this is the time of the New Year, even on weekdays, in such bad weather, there are few pedestrians on the official road.

But today, on this official road leading from Guangling City to Pingjiang City, in the midst of this violent snowstorm, there are five horsemen coming against the wind and snow.

Of course, they are Li Chenan and his party.

Five horses, five sturdy snow-white horses!

Five people, five people in the rivers and lakes wearing black clothes and snow fur hats covering half of their faces!

But there was no one on the horse.

There was a horse riding two people!

Xiao Baozi has never ridden a horse, but she has ridden a donkey.

It only took her half a day's foot to get acquainted with how to ride a horse.

Li Chenan has never ridden a horse either.

It also took him half a day's walk...... Then he gave up riding alone.

He rode with Xiao Baozi.

He was behind Xiao Baozi.

He hugged Xiao Baozi's small waist tightly and hid his face behind Xiao Baozi-

It's windy.

Snow is big.

With Xiao Baozi in front of him, he felt that it was more comfortable.

It's just that the horse is running so fast that it makes his ass ach faintly.

He suddenly swayed and sneezed again.

He didn't think that someone was cursing him and slashing him in his heart.

He just felt that even this was cold.

The rivers and lakes are too bad!

The rivers and lakes are not so easy to mix.

But that's just the beginning.

So, his hand wrapped Xiao Baozi's waist tighter.

This made Xiao Baozi's heart tremble slightly.

She's sensitive.

Fortunately, this is winter, so I wear more.

But even so, she couldn't stand it.

She's not cold.

She's hot!

"Hey......!"

Xiao Baozi turned his head and roared, and Li Chenan raised his head with a spirit.

"Are you comfortable?"

“…… Not bad! ”

"Don't hug too tightly!"

Xiao Baozi's voice was very low in these four words, the horse ran fast, and the wind and snow were very strong, Li Chenan didn't hear them clearly.

"What did you say?"

He asked, squealing at his throat.

Xiao Baozi can't also reply with such a sentence, right?

"Do you want to give up and go back?"

“…… No! ”

Xiao Baozi pursed his lips and smiled, this stubborn cow!

Very good.

Because he is stubborn, he will not give up easily.

The group rode their horses through the wind and snow, and at about noon they came to a small town.

The town is small.

The name of the town is Huangping Town.

Two rows of low and dilapidated houses are on both sides of the official road, not long, only about 30 zhang.

They slowed down on the streets of the town.

Let the horses move slowly.

After a while, they stopped in front of a slightly more beautiful inn.

Amu looked back at Li Chenan, and Li Chenan nodded.

The five dismounted, Li Chenan raised his eyes, and saw the broken flagpole unfurled in the wind and snow.

The four big characters of Yuelai Inn can be faintly seen on the hunting flag.

Li Chenan grinned.

It seems that there is this Yuelai inn everywhere.

He walked into the inn, and there was only a person who looked like a little second person napping around the stove.

They sat at a table, and Li Chenan yelled, "Little Er, serve the wine!" ”

Xiao Er, who was napping, was startled, as if he had been awakened from a sweet dream, and his face was full of unhappiness.

He glanced at Li Chen'an and them, and he was not frightened by the fact that this group of people were dressed in black and masked, and the people in the rivers and lakes saw too much, and that's it.

They all seem to be cool, but in fact, there are no two copper plates in their pockets.

Far inferior to the merchants.

Reluctantly, he stood up.

He walked to the table, took off a dark cloth towel from his shoulder, wiped the table casually, and said: "Only the painting screen spring, it is very expensive, ten taels of silver a catty, do you want to drink?" ”

Li Chenan was stunned, and his eyes widened suddenly.

When did your own painting screen spring be sold in such a small broken place?

Curious, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom and slapped it on the table with a clatter.

"Let's get a pound first!"

When the little two saw this brilliant silver, he weighed it in his heart, at least ten taels!

This is the New Year, this group of people hurried away, and the white horse outside was fat and strong...... O rich man!

A smile suddenly appeared on his face, he leaned over and took the ingot of silver, and asked very carelessly, "What kind of food did the guest officer order to accompany the wine?" ”

Li Chenan waved his hand again: "Bring some of your family's best dishes, hurry up, we have to hurry after eating!" ”

"Great! Ten taels of silver! ”

“…… Can't you eat it? ”

"No, the rules of the small shop, they are scared by the so-called people in the rivers and lakes, they drink and eat and run away, what can we do?"

There is some truth to that.

Li Chenan took out another ingot of silver.

The little second immediately took it with a smile, and asked casually: "Look at the uncle, you are the young master of a big family...... Your horses are all good horses, and they have run a lot of miles, so you have to eat some good ingredients...... After all, horses are also afraid of the cold, right? ”

There is also truth to that.

"Then you feed my horses, too!"

"Okay, ten taels of silver."

“…… Horse feed is also so expensive? ”

"Uncle, you don't know, and now the grain in our Ning Country is a sky-high price!"

"This horse's essence is not grass! It's wheat, beans, bean cakes, and so on, but it's better than the grain that many people eat! ”

"Besides, this horse has eaten more than a man!"

There is also truth to that.

Li Chenan took out another ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms.

The little second took it, holding three ingots of silver in his hand, and yelled happily at the back: "Boss...... It's time for business...... Big business ......! ”

A fat man in a leather jacket ran in the backyard like the wind.

The first thing he saw was the three ingots of silver in the little second-hand house.

The first thing he did was to put the three ingots of silver into his arms, and then he looked at Li Chenan and the others and grinned:

"Honored guest!"

"Wait a minute."

"The small ones will make you a table of delicious food for your distinguished guests!"

"Zhu Lao Liu, don't hurry up and serve wine to the guest officer!"

"Take the stove to the guests, don't freeze the guests!"

A jar of wine was placed on the table.

Li Chenan looked at the wine jar.

A piece of red paper was pasted on the wine jar, and three big characters were written crookedly on the red paper - Painting Screen Spring!

Li Chenan's eyes widened:

"You're the Picture Screen Spring?"

The fat boss was cutting the braised beef quickly, and when he heard it, he turned around, smiled, and looked honest: "It's like a fake painting screen spring!" ”

What the hell!

It costs you a little bit to fake!

The jar of the painting screen spring is not like this.

The three words of painting screen spring are not pasted on red paper!

It is carved on the altar!

It's still full of words!

He slapped open the mud seal, and there was no wine aroma of Pingchun at all.

This is the worst liquor on the street for ten cents a pound.

Wang Zhenghao laughed suddenly.

Amu's knife-like cold face didn't stop after all, and he said a word:

"This is the price of entering the rivers and lakes for the first time!"

"You were cheated of about twenty-eight taels of silver!"

When Xiao Baozi heard this, he was not happy.

This stupid cow!

This money must be returned!

So, her slender eyes looked at the fat boss's back and slowly narrowed.
