The people who went upstairs were a little unexpected, they were a group of unclothed old women, all dirty and smelly.

Seeing that there were still people upstairs who had not left, these old women were obviously a little panicked, and they actually took a few steps back in unison, not daring to climb the high platform. didn't even dare to look at Lu Xuan again.

While waiting for the Linglong boat, many people left garbage on the high platform, including some leftover melons, fruits and dried buns.

Without thinking too much, Lu Xuan could also understand what these old women were rushing to the high platform.

He didn't say anything, just walked downstairs.

On the contrary, when the group of old women saw Lu Xuan coming, they actually covered their heads with their hands and dodged towards the corner of the stairs in unison.

Lu Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, he took out a silver ingot from his arms, put it on the ground, and got off the high platform without looking back.

When he walked out of this high platform that symbolized lust, the cold wind outside blew on Lu Xuan's face, and he just felt ridiculous when he saw everyone rushing to the Linglong boat, but after seeing the group of old women who came up from behind, he not only felt pity in his heart, but also remembered a book he had read in his previous life.

In that book, the rich family would rather feed the pigs with the surplus grain than give a bowl of gruel to the homeless.

How similar is the scene on the podium to what is written in that book?

Lu Xuan just sighed slightly in his heart, they are all insignificant existences in this ordinary world, he has no ability to do anything for others, and it is already a good thing to be able to make himself have a good situation.

With a strange mood, Lu Xuan walked on the street.

I didn't pay attention when I came, and on the way back, Lu Xuan saw that in addition to the fairy boat, there were many attics in Dajin that were crowded with men who were unwilling to spend the night at home.

I don't know if I hate those women, or if I hate this world.

Lu Xuan quickened the pace of leaving and soon returned to the inn.

But as soon as he returned to the inn, Lu Xuan saw Ah Lai holding a big bowl of tea and pouring it into his mouth.

"Are you out moving bricks? How do you drink so much water? Lu Xuan looked at Ah Lai, who was blushing, and couldn't help but quip.

"I don't know." Ah Lai took off his coat, revealed his shirt inside, and after taking two sips of tea, he continued: "I feel so hot and hot when I fall asleep, and I am so thirsty, no wonder this inn charges money for drinking water." ”

Seeing this, Lu Xuan gently touched his forehead with his hand: "I'm not sick either.....

Halfway through his words, Lu Xuan suddenly paused, and asked instead, "Do you feel anything other than heat?" ”

"No... It's gone..."Ah Lai's sermon was a little rambling.

Lu Xuan's expression moved slightly, and he took out the long incense given by the soldier on the high platform before, and only then did he use the fire fold to light the long incense without warning from the mandarin duck eyes.

The thick smoke wafted in the room, Lu Xuan asked Ah Lai to come to him, and after taking a few puffs of smoke, he asked, "Are you better?" ”

Ah Lai smelled the aroma on the tip of his nose and wondered a little: "Brother Lu, what are you doing, I don't seem to be so hot." ”

After getting the confirmation, Lu Xuan's eyes became solemn, did the soldier expect this situation?

But what does this mean?

Lai...... How could there be such an anomaly?

When was it poisoned, or was it .....

As soon as the musky smell in the air was gradually replaced by the smoke and fire of Changxiang, Lu Xuan faintly understood, and saw that Lu Zhaozhao was not resting on the bed, so he asked, "What about Zhaozhao?" Where did she go so late? ”

Ah Lai, who was still muttering about why it was so hot in winter, heard Lu Xuan's question, so he spoke: "Sister Zhaozhao said that you went out to buy something, and you won't come back for a while, so I asked the shopkeeper to take down the prepared food and go to the backyard to bathe by yourself." ”

Lu Xuan tapped lightly on the table, a little worried: "You should be hungry too, I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring up the food, let's eat something and rest." ”

"Okay." Ah Lai didn't seem to have recovered from the previous heat, drinking tea while greedily inhaling the smell of smoke.

Out of the wing room, Lu Xuan went to the counter of the inn, and the shopkeeper was taking stock of the day's accounts, and did not notice his approach.

However, Lu Xuan's gaze first stayed on the long incense that was also lit on the counter next to the shopkeeper for a moment, and then he whispered: "Shopkeeper, the food from the Accord on the second floor can be served." ”

The shopkeeper didn't raise his eyelids, and said, "I know, don't worry, the guest officer, I'll ask Xiao Er to go up later." ”

Lu Xuan, who got the reply, did not leave directly, but continued: "The shopkeeper, your incense smells very good!" I don't know where it came from? ”

This time, the shopkeeper raised his head and glanced at Lu Xuan: "The guest officer is a foreigner, right?" This is the longevity incense we give to the national teacher! We ordinary people don't have much hope, just hope that the national teacher can live a few more years, and our good life will last long. ”

"Hehe, that's just as well." Lu Xuan said with a smile: "We've been all the way here, I want to take a shower, I don't know if there is a place to take a bath in the store?" ”

"Yes, in the room on the left in the backyard, next to the well." The shopkeeper reminded: "Don't go wrong, the right is the place where the woman bathes, a few days ago, a guest officer went wrong, and was blinded by the woman bathing inside, but he didn't make sense." “

Lu Xuan nodded, didn't say anything, and walked straight towards the backyard.

When he arrived at the wing room on the right, Lu Xuan knocked lightly on the door, and a woman's crisp voice suddenly came from inside: "Who?" Is it Brother Lu? ”

"Hmm."

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with Brother Lu? ”

Lu Xuan originally wanted to see if Lu Zhaozhao was affected by musk, but after confirming that she was fine, he excused himself: "The meal is ready, come up early later, so as not to get cold." ”

Regarding Lu Xuan's knock on the door, Lu Zhaozhao didn't seem to mind: "Brother Lu, wait, I'm almost done, I'll come out." ”

Stop at the door.

Lu Zhaozhao pushed open the door.

The hot air in the room came, Lu Zhaozhao changed into a simple white shirt, and was wiping her long hair with a towel, she looked particularly good in the moonlight, her fair face was flushed, and there was a pair of bright eyes under her long eyelashes, glowing with crystal luster, looking at Lu Xuan blinking gently.

Lu Xuan was a little stunned, he knew Lu Zhaozhao's appearance, but in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles on weekdays, Lu Zhaozhao rarely took care of himself, and even deliberately smeared some mud on his face.

Maybe the weather was a little hot, Lu Xuan only felt that his heartstrings seemed to be tugged at.

"Brother Lu, you're in the way, can't we eat?" Lu Zhaozhao made a rare joke about Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan realized that the reason why Lu Zhaozhao asked him to wait was because he played the unique cleverness of a little woman, but he didn't say anything, just saw her shaking her head slightly, and wanted to throw the long hair in front of her to dry, but she didn't succeed after throwing it a few times, so she said, "I'll help you." ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhaozhao nodded lightly.

There was a stone bench in the backyard, Lu Zhaozhao sat on it, and Lu Xuan dried her long hair with a towel behind her.

The moonlight was soft, and the fatigue of the two of them for many days seemed to be dispelled by this quiet environment, Lu Zhaozhao tilted his head slightly, feeling the company of the person behind him, and muttered: "Brother Lu, it would be great if we could really live such a life." ”
