Chapter 415: Periphery
"Don't worry, it's all cold outside, and it's even more dangerous to go somewhere else"
"No one saw me kill the Burning Division, and no one knew me, I was an outsider" Xiao Hachi comforted softly, his analysis was correct, it was extremely cold outside, with Ananda and them, although he could withstand the extreme cold, but Ananda and Zhuo Mu would definitely not last long and would freeze to death.
"Brother Jiang, thank you" Zhuo Mutong's red face swelled with a strong color of gratitude, she and Ananda are not blood relatives, they are both some young children, after being punished as a criminal slave, they went to the ice and snow, they are really helpless, those who are older or stronger are not willing to stay with them, thinking that they are a burden.
There is no way, these children can only gather together to keep warm, originally they had a total of more than a dozen children, and now only she and Ananda are still alive, they can be lucky to survive because they met Xiaoba, if it weren't for Xiaoba's action, their children who got together would all be dead.
"The front is the outer area" Ananda looked at the lights not far away, and whispered, he rolled up the scarf around his neck and wrapped his face, only revealing his eyes, Zhuo Mu did the same as him, both of them wrapped their faces, and only showed their eyes to look at Xiaoba.
"Can't you show your face" Hachi saw their worries, probably because of their identity, and they were afraid of being recognized and causing trouble, so they did this.
"We Are Slaves ..... Sin"
"Even if no one knows us, we shouldn't be here to show our faces... Moreover... We have marks on our bodies," Ananda stumbled, his head lowered slightly.
........
The further you go, the smaller the wind and snow, and there are wisps of heat flowing in the air, which are emitted from the pillar of fire in the distance, although it is not close to the pillar of melting fire, but it is much better than the ice and snow outside, Xiaohachi feels the wisps of heat, and as far as the eye can see, the buildings here are all made of thick wood, most of the buildings are one- or two-story structures, and only a few large mansions have three or even four floors.
Unlike the Chase in that there are no independent yards, and all the houses are not built according to clear street divisions, which leads to all the buildings being sparsely built everywhere, looking scattered, with no yards for each house, and a path cleared out of the doorway, and the snow that has been cleared on both sides.
Hachi was in a crowd of buildings, staring at a two-story wooden house with lanterns, the door of the wooden house was obviously larger than the other doors, and there was a lantern hanging on the door, if there was a place like an inn or something, this wooden house would probably be.
Sure enough, the wooden house crunched open, and the first floor was the lobby, where many long tables were placed, and the layout of the chase was also different, where people sat in a row, eating their own food, and did not talk to each other, and the staircase was laid out behind the counter, and the front was invisible when entering through the door.
Xiaoba led the two little followers to the counter, only to see a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, his face was slightly red, and he was still holding a large glass of wine in his hand, he was already a little drunk, after he saw Xiaoba, he looked up and down, and then looked at Xiaoba with contempt, and did not speak.
Xiaoba was speechless in his heart, this place is too different from Datong, in any inn in Datong, there will be a very enthusiastic Xiaoer who takes the initiative to talk, order food for the guests, etc., why is the innkeeper here such a posture, is it not because he is young and does not dress like the people here, so he deliberately neglects himself?
A small hand quietly stretched out to the corner of Xiao Ba's clothes, and gently pulled it twice, Xiao Ba's eyes narrowed slightly, he knew that this was Zhuo Mu pulling the corners of his clothes, he should want to remind himself of something.
Xiao Ba tilted her head slightly, only to see Zhuo Mu's clear eyes looking at her with a worried look, and her head deliberately tilted a few times to the right back, Xiao Hachi nodded slightly towards her to show her peace of mind.
At the same time, the yin and yang fish plate was urged, and the yin line hung down Xiaoba's clothes on the floor, spreading out towards the entire inn, and soon the yin line sensed the right rear of Zhuo Mu's deliberate head just now, and saw seven or eight strong men sitting in front of a long table, these strong men all had beards, thick shoulders and round waists, and their hair was tied with thick braids and thrown behind their heads.
In the middle of them, there sat a strong man with bare arms, with a dull beast pattern tattooed on his bare arms, and this person kept looking at Hachi with his eyes.
It turned out that he was being targeted, Zhuo Mu should have recognized the origin of these people, so he was a little scared, and hoped that I would leave, Xiao Ba thought secretly in his heart, but he didn't care about this, he just raised his hand and threw a piece of silver on the countertop, and said coldly, "Open a spacious room, and get some food to send to the room"
The bearded middle-aged man raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Hachi, his arm waved, and the silver was silently taken away by him, but he didn't mean to open Xiao Hachi's room, but just said jokingly, "Where did you come from?" ”
"We don't need silver taels here, don't you know?"
This mocking words didn't make Hachi angry, he just said lightly, "Then what do you want here?"
"Hehe, see for yourself" The middle-aged man raised his hand and pointed, Xiaoba looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a stack of neat firewood stacked by the wall, and he instantly understood what was going on.
Ananda and Zhuo Mu's eyes were worried, and they were a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do, Xiaoba reached out and touched it into his arms, grabbed the vial and shook it, shook out a spiritual grass and pinched it in his hand, and put it in front of the man.
"It's worth going to the inn and eating, right?"
When the middle-aged man saw that Xiaoba took out the spirit grass, his face changed instantly, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly reached out to take the things away, and at the same time changed his face and said, "Hehe, of course you can, distinguished guest, please here!" ”
Xiaoba was speechless, and led two small followers upstairs with the middle-aged man.
In the lobby, in front of the long table, the strong man with bare arms had a cold face, and he said in a low voice to the two strong men sitting next to him, "Do you see clearly?" The man was from Chase."
"Boss, he can take out a spirit grass at will, and the silver taels are also taken casually, and it looks like a fat product!"
"Such a fat pig would come to a bitter cold place like ours..."
"Hmph"
"Since you're here, let him stay here, have a long memory in the next life, don't come to the bitter cold place!" Several strong men spoke one after another, and their faces were full of cruelty, obviously treating Xiaoba as a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
