Chapter 67: Settle in the Black Shop
Fu Xiao raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”
The fourth child took a small step forward, glanced at the low house that had just turned on the light, and said in a low voice: "This was originally an official post house, but now I'm afraid it's not a different person." I've been here before, but I haven't been here much, and I don't take this road anymore, so I looked at those few just now, and they seem to be making a living in a black shop. ”
"What do you mean?"
Fu Xiao was inexplicably interested.
Fu Xiao is really playful at some times.
In such a situation, I can still be so optimistic, and even if I think about these people who open black shops for a while, I don't know what to think.
Fu Xiao was very excited.
He may not have met a black store for a long time, but he finally met one, and even wanted to understand what market situation is now and what kind of business model it is.
Those who are horizontal and vertical may not be able to do anything to him,
"That's it...... Eh, you'll see for yourself later, I don't dare to say it. ”
The sound of small footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the fourth child also shut up in time.
Fu Xiao pulled Ji Yao over, blocked it with his body, and waited until the people in the post station came out.
A total of them came out, all of them fat and fat, with big shoulders and round waists.
It's not too cold to be heavy in the middle of the night, and he came out shirtless, his clothes were tied around his waist, his water pants were black and shiny, and his face was cross-faced, he really didn't look like a good person.
This posture is obviously not something that can be put on by the post station personnel who are eating official food.
The three of them were all outcast, and their eyes were all shining in the night, like red-eyed rats.
Seeing this, the fourth child also shrank back cowardly, lowered his head and clasped his hands without saying a word, leaving only Fu Xiao alone in front.
Fu Xiao has never seen anyone in the north and south, coupled with the blessing of force, he also seemed calm in the face of these three people, and asked unhurriedly: "Is there a vacant room?" ”
The three men looked at each other.
They are afraid that they have never seen such a faceless person, and they are even exempted from the procedure of being afraid.
It stands to reason that those who are in a hurry to travel at night have finally found a place to rest, and they must be lax.
If they encounter such a fierce shape again, they are basically scared to death.
It is indispensable to spend money to eliminate disasters and then run away with farts and urine, how can you ask so calmly if you can stay overnight.
It's not that they're bold, it's that they really think of this place as a post station.
"Nope."
The leader replied in a rough voice.
He snorted disdainfully, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a bamboo pole-like pestle in front of him, and the skirt fluttered behind the young man.
There is even a vague aroma in the air.
He immediately came to God, fixed his eyes, and was happy.
Dare to love this little brother's stay in the middle of the night and bring a woman?
This is good, the three of them exchanged glances with each other, obviously with a little lewdness, rubbed their hands and said, "Yes, how many do you want?" ”
Fu Xiao stretched out his hand and said, "Two rooms." ”
The three men immediately led the way with candlesticks in front.
As he walked, he slowed down, made a row with Fu Xiao, and then squinted his eyes from time to time and glared at Ji Yao fiercely, without any concealment at all.
This kind of strong discomfort made Ji Yao extremely disgusted, and it was rare to have a good impression of the hat that blocked her face.
Fu Xiao also noticed the rudeness of the three people, and before Ji Yao was about to break out, he grabbed her back, first gently pinched her hand, shook his head slightly, and motioned to her with his eyes to endure it.
Ji Yao couldn't do it, so he had to do it.
He looked like he was fine, and Ji Yaohou's molars were about to be crushed.
If you change three old ladies with thick waists and wide hips and fancy branches around him, what do you think about him?
Her breath was blocked in her throat, but she couldn't swallow it when she pushed it up, and she was really uncomfortable.
only slandered Fu Xiao in his heart, he really didn't have a responsibility, so he embarrassed her.
Fu Xiao saw how they treated Ji Yao's behavior, and he had already sketched out many ways to die suitable for them in his heart.
Although the three of them had hateful faces, they were obviously strong on the outside and capable in the middle, and they just pretended to be fierce.
At most, it is stronger than the flat-headed people, and it is estimated that eighty percent of them are fat.
Fu Xiao saw clearly that they each had a few catties and a few taels, so he was naturally not afraid.
But outside, we should always pay attention to the order of accounting.
At this stage, they are just obscene, floating on the surface of lightness. If you have to investigate, you can say that you haven't done anything hurtful.
Relying entirely on subjective judgment, wouldn't it be a loss of his level of performance to deal with this group of people?
These guys, if he were to deal with them, could even use their blades and let them be subdued with one hand.
I'm not afraid that they will really have to do something brainless.
The three brothers led them to a row of adobe houses in the back.
The adobe house was next to the stables, and there was an eerie smell of feces and urine in the air......
Even Fu Xiao, a person with rough skin and thick flesh who is out and about, can't help but frown, not to mention Ji Yao, who hasn't suffered much.
Ji Yao carefully pulled Fu Xiao.
There were others around, and she didn't dare to shout anything, but asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to live here?" Can't you deal with it all night in a carriage? ”
Ji Yao saw that the windows of the adobe house were nailed by wooden planks, presumably it must be dark and stuffy inside, and the smell was really unbearable, so he suddenly retreated.
The attention of the three of them was originally on Ji Yao, the little lady, and they all wanted to hang their eyes and ears on her when they came.
As soon as I heard her say this, I was immediately unhappy, how could the fat that came to my mouth fly away by itself.
"It's barren for a few miles, there's not even a place to turn on the lights, jackals, tigers and leopards may just lie on the side of the road and wait, how safe can the carriage be?"
The most sinister of the three said this, and at the end he squeezed his eyebrows at them a few times.
It's unusually uncomfortable.
Fu Xiao felt that Ji Yao had been dragging his clothes, and he didn't want to tear his face with these three people who were not afraid of death now, so he immediately made a decision, copied his arm back, grabbed Ji Yao's arm, and dragged her to his side.
Then he said lightly: "If you are troublesome, let's help us light the lamp first." ”
Fu Xiao turned his head and said to the fourth brother who was cowering aside: "Fourth, you live in that room, you don't have to pick a place here, so I can live for one night, I'm sorry." ”
The fourth child answered twice and stepped aside.
Ji Yao's eyes were about to straighten, what was Fu Xiao planning to do?
Why is he crazy to share a room with her?
The brothers' reactions were not much different from Ji Yao's.
Didn't it say one room for one person at the beginning, shouldn't it be two men squeezing one room, leaving this little lady alone?
I thought, why doesn't this kid play cards according to the routine, so he doesn't avoid suspicion.
These brothers were still preparing to do something big at night, but all the plans they didn't want to make were disrupted by Fu Xiao.
Fu Xiao saw that those people didn't react, and said again: "Trouble, can you help us get a few lights?" ”
"Hey, okay, wait a minute."
Only then did the three of them come back to their senses, and hurriedly ran to the place with the lights on in front of them, exchanging glances as they ran, obviously discussing countermeasures.
They turned back to get the candlestick, and left Fu Xiao and the others behind.
Ji Yao was finally able to speak normally.
She stomped her foot and pointed at Fu Xiao's chest: "What do you mean?" Do you have to spend the night in a place like this? The fourth brother said that there was a problem here, wouldn't it be good to run away early, this is good, and I can't go. ”
After Ji Yao said this, he was about to take out his baggage, and muttered in his mouth: "What about the balls that Xiao Le rubbed for me before, the smell is too rushing, I can't stand it." ”
Fu Xiao only said that she was making a fuss, shrugged her shoulders, and spread her hands: "Do you think, I look like someone who is afraid of them?" ”
"Even if this is a black shop, what they say is true, this is a radius of several miles, and it is indeed the only place where it is popular. If you camp outside, you can't say if there are jackals, tigers and leopards, and you may get up in the morning with a few parts missing. ”
Ji Yao twisted his brows and poked Fu Xiao's chest fiercely: "Then you can't ...... with me" The more she spoke, the quieter she became, and she said angrily: "You want to be shameless." ”
"Ah, then you want to share a house with the fourth child?"
Fu Xiao looked surprised and said, "It's not appropriate, you are just meeting for the first time." ”
"Shut up!"
Through the gauze tent, you can see how angry Ji Yao is.
She lifted up the two pieces of yarn that stood in front of her in annoyance, and almost pointed at Fu Xiao's nose and scolded the street.
Fu Xiao heard the movement not far away, and immediately reached out to cover her tightly, bent down slightly, and whispered to Ji Yao's ear: "Those people don't have any good intentions, you and I are safer together." ”
His voice inexplicably convinced Ji Yao, and she also saw someone leaning over, and she no longer had a temperament.
It's just that I still feel very awkward, and I twist my sleeves hard.
Three people went and only one came back.
He handed Fu Xiao a candlestick, went into the room to light the oil lamp, and then moved out in small steps, and then went to the fourth child's room.
When the two rooms were a little brighter, he rubbed his hands and explained to the three people who were standing outside watching: "There are two tanks by the low wall, and there should be some water left." As you can see, the conditions are more difficult, not as good as those inns, and there is no hot water. ”
The attitude is sincere, which is very different from just now, and I don't know what the hell is going on.
Fu Xiao politely thanked him and sent the one who turned back in one step and two times away.
Then he whispered to the fourth child, "Wake up at night, don't let them let the horses go, we will withdraw early tomorrow morning." ”
The fourth nodded and said, "Understood."
He patted his chest again and said, "That's my horse, I won't let them dominate it anyway." ”
Then they went into the adobe house.
As soon as he came in, Ji Yao could feel a chill.
I don't know how long this place has been sealed, or how long it hasn't been inhabited.
The tables, chairs, and tea trays placed in the room were all dusty, not to mention the dirty bedding that could not be seen in its true color.
What are the conditions for living people, and there is not even a place to sit at all.
This kind of accommodation conditions made Fu Xiao quite speechless.
If you want him to say, those three people are really not the material for opening a black shop.
Anyway, this was originally a big post station, although the geographical location is a little worse, and the infrastructure is just as much.
He had just seen that the stables over there were quite spacious, and there was no problem with stuffing ten or eight horses.
There should be a lot of rooms that you want to match.
Even if it's a black shop envoy, it's a bit of a show.
If it were normal, no one would have set foot on it. can't even recruit potential slaughtered customers, what else do you do to make a living in a black store?
The shop that people can see through at a glance, how can it continue to trick people, and the means are too low-level and shoddy.
With such room conditions, it is strange that people can be deceived.
I don't know what broken books those people have read that don't follow the right path, but they know why they are bluffing people shirtless.
Look at the price drop, I'm afraid it's a novice, maybe after taking this plate, it has never been opened.
Fu Xiao looked around hastily.
I didn't see a rag that could wipe the tables and chairs, but I saw some dry straw in the corner, piled up in a mess, and I don't know how long it had been placed.
He rolled some and hugged them, spread them on the ground, and took out a robe from the baggage, spread it flat on it, sat down first, and then patted the ground on his side and asked Ji Yao to come over.
Ji Yao struggled for a long time on the dirty stool and the straw mat that had just been laid, but he still decided to sit next to Fu Xiao.
At the very least, Fu Xiao's clothes should be much cleaner than the stool.
The oil lamps in the house were not very oily, and even choking black smoke came out of the wick from time to time.
Coupled with the wind blowing from nowhere, the flames twisted and twisted, reflecting strange lights and shadows.
Ji Yao couldn't hold back and yawned.
Fu Xiao said: "If you are sleepy, rest on me for a while." ”
"That's not necessary, I'm going to keep my eyes open until dawn."
Ji Yao shook his head and refused, "In case those three touch in the evening, I will be the one who suffers, so I won't sleep." ”
"I'm here, I won't."
Fu Xiao smiled: "Didn't I say that I would protect you thoroughly?" ”
"Yo, you men's mouths, I believe in ghosts."
Ji Yao pursed his lips and finally untied the hat that was in the way.
She casually put the hat at her side, curled up her legs, wrapped her arms, rested her chin on her knees, and sighed: "It's not like I haven't heard someone say this, but what is the result...... I'll it. ”
Fu Xiao was silent.
Why did the topic go around and around here, but it was like a sequel that was not finished in the daytime.
Fu Xiao didn't know who the person in Ji Yao's mouth was.
However, with his current position, it was difficult to say anything after all, so he could only watch Ji Yao try to curl himself up, staring at him in a daze.
Her already small slap face was mostly blocked by the shadow cast by the bangs on her forehead, and her expression was sad, which made him feel distressed.
Ji Yao is really ruthless to himself.
Look at that posture, she really stayed up until dawn and didn't plan to close her eyes, her eyes stared at the dancing candlelight in a daze, without saying a word.
Fu Xiao watched silently from the side, Ji Yao could feel it, but he was still motionless, insisting on falling into his own spiritual world.
