Chapter 38: The Inn

The little brother looked at the copper coins in his hand, and unintentionally glanced a few more times, and saw that there was a carriage parked in front of him. His eyes suddenly swollen and swirled, like brass bells with joy.

His face changed, and he greeted them with a smile: "If the guest officer doesn't dislike it, the firewood room behind him is empty, and he can stay ......overnight for a while."

"Thank you, little brother."

Yao Yun had been in the carriage for a whole day, her body was sore, and she couldn't help but soothe and soothe her muscles and bones. She simply packed up the package she was carrying, and when she lifted the curtain, the little brother was already respectfully standing outside the carriage to greet her.

Xiao Chengyu stood beside her, looking at the room in the main courtyard with a dignified expression. Xiao Er led the carriage to the stable.

"Lang Jun Niang, please come here."

The two followed the little brother around the main courtyard in front of them and went directly into a dark firewood room in the backyard. Fortunately, the firewood house is located on a high ground and faces north from the south, so it can stay dry even if it rains heavily for several days.

Yao Yun was a little glad that Ah Wei and Ah Mao did not come together. In the future, after settling down in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, let Xiao An lead Yao Wei and Yao Mao to come. In this way, they will also suffer less.

She nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you, little brother." The weather is wet and cold, can you bother the little brother to bring hot water? ”

The little brother said yes again and again, and took the initiative to help them burn the brazier before exiting the firewood room.

Xiao Chengyu picked up the coarse and soaked linen robe, sat on the floor next to the brazier, and raised his hand to dry the robe.

Yao Yun poked outside and made sure that no one was eavesdropping outside the house before kneeling beside him and whispered, "Sixth Master, this inn seems to be a little weird. ”

Xiao Chengyu raised his eyes to look at her, looking calm: "It turns out that the lady is not stupid." ”

Yao Yun was stunned, it turned out that he had already seen something wrong, and said calmly: "Although that little brother looks young, his face is delicate, and his steps are brisk like a rabbit, not quite like the vulgar appearance of a country inn guy." ”

"Yun Niang can notice anything else?" He turned sideways and changed directions, continuing to dry the sticky laundry on his body.

She pondered for a moment and shook her head in confusion.

He said in a deep voice: "When I passed by the main courtyard just now, did Yun Niang observe how many side rooms were lit with candles? ”

She immediately recalled the picture of Fang Cai, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she suddenly realized: "At this time, there are really few rooms with candle lights, not like an inn full of guests. Could it be that this is still a black shop? ”

Xiao Chengyu was about to reply, but the little brother had already knocked on the door.

"Lady, here comes the hot water."

Yao Yun cleared her throat and said coquettishly, "Come in." ”

The little brother brought hot water with a smile. He has clean and fair skin, neat clothes, and when he laughs, he shows a cute little tiger tooth, and he looks innocent.

He skillfully put down the hot water basin, and was about to exit the house, Yao Yun suddenly grabbed his sleeve and handed him half a copper coin, and said with a smile: "Little brother, my husband and I have been on the road for a day, and we have already fainted from hunger, but what do you have to eat?" ”

The little brother respectfully took the copper coin and said happily; "Yes, yes, the villain will send it over immediately."

Xiao Chengyu saw clearly, his palms were a little calloused, and he was indeed a practitioner.

She simply purified her face and hands, and lazily leaned against a pile of lumber beside her, closing her eyes and resting herself. Xiao Chengyu also washed his face and dried his robe.

A moment later, the little brother brought a worn-out wooden pallet again.

When the two saw the food on the wooden pallet, they suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

There are two steamed buns with green onions on the wooden tray, and there is a big bowl of big bone broth with meat flowers next to it!

Xiao Langjun said heartily: "Langjun lady, this is a newly killed wild boar bone, the broth is very fresh, please use it slowly." ”

When he went out of the door, Yao Yun pursed his lips tightly and pushed the wooden pallet towards the door, just wanting to keep the wooden pallet away from him. She clutched her lips, desperately trying to suppress the burning stench of her stomach.

Yuezhou is mostly rugged and mountainous, and although it is not barren, it is not rich. In the past few days, it has been pouring heavy rain, and wild boars will not be easily infested. There is only one possibility that there is such a fresh pork bone soup in this barren mountain and wild mountains, it is a bloody human flesh and bones!

Xiao Chengyu sank his eyes, took out a dagger from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Take it and act when the opportunity comes." Do you still have a firework canister? ”

Yao Yun tucked the dagger tightly into his sleeve and nodded obediently.

The raindrops poured down the roof of the eaves and down the broken tiles, clanging against the windows, more like a cold death knell counting down the hour.

Now Yao Yun is alone in the firewood room, her eyes are closed in a daze, but the fingernails under her sleeves are pinching her palms vigorously, and her ears are very vigilant, and she must not let herself fall asleep.

Kick, kick, kick......

Someone's coming!

She pressed the dagger and fireworks under her sleeve, pretending to be asleep, and held her breath.

"Lady, lady, wake up, it's not good......"

She opened her eyes sleepily, and it was the little brother who woke her up in a hurry.

"What, what's wrong? What happened? She looked at him in a panic and asked uneasily, "Eh, what about me, my family's husband?" ”

The little brother hurriedly pulled her up, frowned, and said in a panic: "Something is wrong, your family Langjun has an accident, come with me......"

It was not so much to follow him as to be pulled out by him.

Yao Yun stared closely at the hand he was pulling at his arm, and there were several scratches and scars on the back of his hand, both old and new. In the main house of the inn that I had just passed, there was not a single window with candles lit.

She tightly guarded her sleeve with one hand and said tentatively, "Little brother, where are we going?" If my husband can't see me, I'm afraid he will be very worried about my ......."

The little brother stopped abruptly and turned his head slowly.

On her innocent white face, her eyes changed suddenly, and her yin owl hair seemed to ooze bitter and cold poisonous juice, which soaked into her limbs drop by drop, and gave her goosebumps all over her body.

His hands grabbed her arms harder and harder, as if they were about to break her skin and crush her bones.

Yao Yun only felt that his arm was about to be broken!

Puff puff puff ......

He actually carried her and threw her down somewhere next to him!

Not only her arms, but also her neck, back and limbs, there was no place around her body that was not sharpened by the rough sandstone and marl, and she rolled three or four times in succession, and she lost her center of gravity and fell violently on the yellow mud ground that was as hard as iron, and pierced her buttocks!

"Ah......h
