I don't know how far the carriage has gone forward, at this moment it has entered the middle mountain road sandwiched by two mountains, after a slope about three zhang long in front, and then continue to go more than ten miles inside, there is an inn, where you can rest at night, but because this horse is not a BMW horse, when encountering such a slope of the snow road, it can no longer travel an inch.

I saw that the horse, with its head hanging deeply, stepped on the pine snow, and tried its best to go up, but the snow slope was too slippery, and the hooves that had just stepped out and landed on the snow slipped back slightly, and failed to go up several times, and there was a posture of falling.

The coachman got out of the carriage and stood in the snow and said angrily: "This damn weather, it doesn't fall early, it doesn't fall late, but it snows heavily at this time, and you damn horse, you can't even go up this slope now, it's time to change you another day." Hey, what can I do? As he spoke, he shook off the snow on his body and hat, and looked helplessly at the slope in front of him.

Luo Xing and Liu Dafu felt the carriage sway back and forth a few times in the car, and they knew that something must be wrong. Then he opened the car door and looked forward, only to realize that there was a slope ahead, and as soon as the two of them got out of the car, they heard the driver complain again.

But seeing the snow flying all over the sky and the cold wind, Luo Xing couldn't help but tidy up his clothes and said to himself: "The snow is quite happy, it is estimated that the snow that has not fallen in the whole winter is concentrated today." ”

Liu Dafu said: "Well, it's really big, what if we can't go up?" It's hard to walk on snowy days. ”

Luo Xing nodded yes, and said to the coachman: "This uncle, you go to the car to drive the horse, we will push behind, maybe we will go up, come, Dafu." With that, he walked towards the back of the car.

The coachman answered the call and got into the carriage, took hold of the reins, picked up the whip, and began to shout.

Liu Dafu and Luo Xing went to the back of the carriage to push the cart, but unfortunately, the snow was very slippery to step on, and because the snow in the place where the wheels had pressed just now was very tight, they couldn't push it up no matter what.

This can make the three of them worried, they can't enter, they don't want to retreat, they don't want to retreat, and they are unwilling to go back by detour, because the inn is inside.

The coachman looked at the sides of the mountain, and wanted to put some hay under the wheel before pushing, but helplessly, the mountains on both sides were very bald, and sighed sadly. The heart can't go any further, because the snow is heavier and the time is longer, it may be trapped directly inside, you can't enter in the front, you can't retreat back, and you have to consume money in the inn. But, after all, I've already received someone's deposit, and I can't help but go, so I simply...

I saw the coachman jump out of the carriage and say to Luo Xing and the two: "Two little brothers, I don't think they can go up, and this horse is not that kind of divine horse, the ground is too slippery, let's go back more than ten miles There will be a village, if the snow is thicker, even the horse is unwilling to go, and it may freeze." ”

People say that BMW is a good horse, traveling thousands of miles a day, Keluo Xing, and the carriage that Liu Dafu and the two brothers are riding in is really, the old horse knows the way back, not fast or slow, it is really like the couplet of the car rental shop, only the safety and comfort are written, but the speed is not written.

At this time, Luo Xing suddenly had an idea and said, "Wait, I'll try." As he spoke, his right palm stretched out, and he ran the fire technique, and suddenly a wave of heat erupted.

Looking at the gradually melting snow under the car, Liu Dafu and the driver were stunned, and Liu Dafu said directly: "Brother Luo, can this be done?" Yours is amazing. As he spoke, he smiled and gave a thumbs up.

The coachman also gave a thumbs up and praised: "This little brother is really amazing, it is the first time I have seen this kind of snowy way of walking." ”

In a short time, the snow on the slope had melted from top to bottom, and the coachman drove the carriage up in time.

When the carriage went uphill, Luo Xing and Liu Dafu slapped the snow off their bodies and entered the car one after another.

The carriage went on, leaving two wheel marks behind it, but in a matter of moments, it was covered with goose feathers.

The carriage was finally outside the inn, and it was already dark.

On the inner side of the wide door of the inn, there is a three-foot-long wooden stick on the high flag, and on one side hangs a signboard that reads "Jiudaoling Inn", and on the other side hangs a lantern that emits a dim yellow light and some gaps, and the five words "Jiudaoling Inn" are also reflected from top to bottom.

After entering the compound for a moment, a shopkeeper greeted him in time, and said enthusiastically: "The two guest officers have worked hard, please come in quickly." As he spoke, he waved his right hand to the door, and shouted to the room: "There is a guest here, so I say hello." ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper and the coachman unloaded the carriage to the right side of the store door and placed it side by side with other vehicles, and then led the horse to the right row of stables to settle down.

By this time, the snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker.

Luo Xing and the two watched and watched, only to see that the whole inn was built in the south of the mountain, all of which were wooden structures, with a total of three layers, and the dusk and yellow light were reflected from the inside, and a large plaque above the door, although it had been partially covered by heavy snow, it was still possible to see the big words of "Jiudaoling Inn" in the book.

The two of them carried the package and walked in the direction of the door, and when they reached the wooden curtain sticking out of the door, they shook off the floating snow on their bodies, lifted the thick curtain and entered the house.

The two brothers, who had just entered the inn, felt a hot current rushing towards their faces, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration, it was so warm.

At this time, another shopkeeper came over, nodded and greeted warmly: "Two guest officers, please come here." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to make a plea, and led the two Luo Xing to a table where no one was sitting.

After the two of them sat down, the shopkeeper picked up the teapot, filled the two cups, and said respectfully: "The two guest officers have worked hard all the way, whether they are tipping or staying in the store, drink hot tea first to drive away the cold." With that, he walked away.

Luo Xing and the others answered, unwrapped it, and put it on the small stool next to them.

The package for the two of them contained nothing more than a few pieces of clothing, dry food, and dozens of taels of silver.

The two of them looked around, but they saw that there were more than a dozen tables five feet square in the entire inn, and there were two large charcoal fires on the left and right of the hall, from which the hot temperature emanated.

Directly in front of the door is the staircase, and a few steps up is the staircase that divides the second floor on both sides, with the counter on the right side of the staircase and the wine rack behind it.

There is a door behind the counter, which is the kitchen and the store's residence. Above are hung dish signs, food cards, each sign has the name of the dish, the name of the staple food, the price below, and the rest is similar to the inn I saw before.

The people in the house, the servants who are the people, the people of the rich family, and all kinds of people sit at several tables in equal parts, eating and drinking, chatting and laughing, and when Luo and Liu enter the door, they only take a brief glance and continue to eat and drink.

Upstairs, the two of them talked, sometimes laughing, sometimes frowning, sometimes gesturing, sometimes gesturing.

Later, according to the guy, the second floor was a guest room for ordinary guests, and the third floor was a relatively large luxury room, which was reserved for the wealthy.

The décor of the inn is simple, not luxurious, just big, but I don't know what the luxurious rooms will look like.

At this time, the shopkeeper came with a wooden board and said, "Two guest officers, this is a menu card, a food card, you see what you two want, just order the small one" said, and handed over the wooden board with a smile.

Luo and Liu ordered two dishes casually, asked for two staple dishes, and finally said that they wanted to stay in the hotel and ordinary rooms.

The shopkeeper said again: "Okay, I'll help the two guest officers arrange guest rooms for a while, what else do the two guest officers have to order?" Do you want to have some wine to relieve the cold? ”

"No need, go ahead."

"Okay, you two guest officers wait a minute, the meal will be served in a while."

The two chatted for a while, and the meal was served one by one.

The shopkeeper said: "The guest officer is slow to use, and he can call the small one at any time if he has something." With that, he turned and walked away.

The two brothers saw that the coachman was sitting elsewhere, and they were still a little unbearable, so they called the coachman to come over and eat together, but the coachman who sat alone at a table still refused, and even said: "Guests in the house, go out to accompany guests, the master does not share the table with the servant, the guest does not share the table with the husband, this is the rule, can not be broken, the two little brothers' intentions are in the heart, there is really no need to shout in the future, thank you, thank you." After speaking, he arched his hand and said no more.

Luo Xing and the others were helpless, so they didn't say anything more, and returned to their table to eat.

In this way, the two stayed overnight at the inn.

In the early morning of the next day, due to the thick snow, the carriage could not move forward, and Luo and Liu had no choice but to move forward on foot and began an extraordinary road to the rivers and lakes.
