"It's okay, I've got some silver."

Xie Mingchi seemed to see that she was worried about something, so after saying that, he took out a large and heavy bag of money from the position of his waist and abdomen.

When she didn't react when she spent it, she stuffed the money bag into her hand.

Hua Shi was stunned, and subconsciously pinched the silver taels in the money bag through a thin layer of fabric.

reacted, glared, and looked at Xie Mingchi.

"It's not... That was not what I meant. ”

Looking at Xie Mingchi's serious expression, Hua Shi inexplicably felt a little funny.

She lowered her voice again and said, "I'm afraid that the inn is not as good as a restaurant, but just a place to stay, and the price of the dishes made is higher than that of ordinary restaurants, that is, a black shop that cheats people with money." ”

Before he paid attention, when he heard the names of the dishes in Xiao Erbao's report, almost all of them were meat dishes, Hua Shou reacted in hindsight and thought of this problem.

And...... Just now, Xiao Er just reported the name of the dish, and she didn't even say the price of the dish, she was really stupid, why did she forget to ask.

There is no menu in the inn, and there is no clear price......

She watched a lot of TV series before, and many of the inns that were dotted were black shops that deceived people, ranging from human meat buns and human meat dishes, to sky-high prices and the like.

Hua Shi thought wildly, and lowered his voice by the way, and quietly told Xie Mingchi his thoughts.

Who knew that after Xie Mingchi listened to her words, he suddenly looked at her and laughed.

Hua Shi looked dazed, frowned, and said seriously: "What are you laughing at?" I'm serious. ”

Xie Mingchi's voice sounded with a smile: "Don't worry, this is Peach Blossom Town, you may not know, but Peach Blossom Town has a very strict jurisdiction system in terms of vendors, and those human meat bun inns you mentioned rarely appear on the streets and alleys of Peach Blossom Town, and even if they do, they are hiding in those dark places." ”

When Hua Shi heard this, he suddenly became a little curious: "Why do you say that?" Can you tell me about Peach Blossom Town? My first time here and I didn't know anything. ”

Xie Mingchi saw that she was really curious, so he cleared his throat and slowly told what he knew about Peach Blossom Town.

It turned out to be the boundary where they are now, almost close to the border boundary of the Gaoche country, the place where the mountains are high and the road is far away, within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is only this peach blossom town, also known as the peach blossom city, this town.

I heard that the countries have been in war all year round, big wars and small wars, and chaos has risen several times, the situation is turbulent, and the masters in high positions are busy with wars, and they have long ignored this place where the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the mountains and rivers are poor.

So this also led to the fact that this large barren place, in addition to Peach Blossom Town, including several other nearby towns, have established their own systems and troops for each other.

In other words, the whole town that was enclosed with this gate as an opening had its own soil emperor. Due to the unfavorable control of the Son of Heaven in the high position, the situation was dangerous, and in the troubled times, some people relied on their own means, concealed from the superiors, established their own rights, and took over the jurisdiction of this entire town......

Hua Shi listened, was a little silent, and asked strangely: "According to what you say, this city is out of the control of the Son of Heaven, if people know about it, how can the Son of Heaven of Gaoche Country let it go, and will not send people to send troops down to take back these lost towns?" ”

Xie Mingchi lowered his voice and said: "I guess it maybe, but the situation has been turbulent in the past few years, and I heard that the one sitting in the high position is full of wine and food, and he doesn't care about these borderline towns at all." ”

Hua Shi felt a little magical and fell silent.

Words from another world...... It seems that something terrible happens, so you can accept it......

Moreover, this is completely different from the world that I know and know, and since it is a turbulent situation, it is not difficult to understand that such a thing has happened......

Then, Xie Mingchi slowed down and continued to speak.

And now the person in charge of this entire town is the city lord of Fang-Fang Yishui, it has been a matter of the past five or six years, and he has succeeded the previous city lord and managed the city.

Peach Blossom City can have today's prosperous appearance, most of the credit must be attributed to the Fang City Lord, and it is precisely because of his strict control that the people who live in the town dare not make trouble under his nose......

“… Sounds okay. Hua Shi tapped his fingers on his jaw, nodded again, and muttered.

Xie Mingchi was about to continue, when Xiao Er led the two people, holding a tray and loading vegetables, and walked quickly in the direction of the table for the two.

"The two guests have been waiting for a long time, and the food is coming up."

The little two bent over, said with a smile on their faces, turned around and waved his hand, signaling the two behind him to bring the dishes up.

The two of them neatly put the dishes up, and when the little two saw that the dishes were complete, they said to the two of them: "Eat slowly, taste the delicacies in our spring and the building." ”

Hua Shi looked at the shopkeeper who was respectful and had a good attitude, and felt a little strange, turned his head to look at Xie Mingchi, and asked in a low voice, "Why is that little er's attitude of hospitality so good?" ”

It stands to reason that she and Xie Mingchi are just ordinary guests in the inn, even if they are trying to make money and have the attitude of recruiting customers, they will not be the same as the second child in this shop, so good-mouthed.

Xie Mingchi took a pair of chopsticks, handed them to Hua Shi, listened to it, and said casually: "That's not the shopkeeper, it's the shopkeeper in this inn, his attitude towards entertaining guests has always been like this, because of his good attitude, it seems that many people are willing to come here to stay in the hotel." ”

It's just a way to welcome customers, with a good attitude, others are naturally willing to patronize, nothing unusual, and the shopkeepers of many shops in the town are mostly like this.

Flower when a little surprised.

Is that the shopkeeper of this inn? Seeing that she was dressed a little old, and her figure was thin and small, she didn't have any wealth at all, and she thought it was just an ordinary shopkeeper......

Xie Mingchi saw that she was stunned and didn't pick up her chopsticks, so he grabbed the hand she put aside and stuffed the chopsticks into her hand.

Looking up and seeing the distracted expression on her face, at a glance, I guessed what she was wondering about, and explained: "That shopkeeper doesn't look like it, does it?" It's normal, he was just a shopkeeper half a year ago, and recently became the shopkeeper of this shop, I heard that he was in this inn for 12 years, and he saved enough money, so he took this inn down and went through the formalities at the official office, so he became the shopkeeper of this inn. ”

Xie Mingchi almost answered all questions about Hua Shi's doubts, and after seeing her surprise, he would also explain patiently.

Hua Shi nodded knowingly.

No wonder it doesn't look like a shopkeeper at all, it turned out to be from the second shopkeeper, but to have the ability to sit in this position, compared to the heart is also very good.

After a meal, the two of them asked and answered, chatting a lot of things.

Hua Shi also learned a lot about this peach blossom town from Xie Mingchi's mouth......

Xie Mingchi told her, don't look at the fact that this town is now in good order by Fang Cheng's supervisor, and it is good on the surface, but in private... In unknown places, there are still a lot of unpeaceful things happening.

The town is not as simple as it seems, and it is always right to be out and about, and to be careful......

When checking out after the meal, a total of 200 yuan was spent, and Xie Mingchi added two more meals later, this price is in the budget, but it is slightly more expensive than the budget, and it is barely acceptable.

She didn't expect that half a catty of beef would cost 30 yuan, and she ordered two catties, which was more than half the price of this meal, and it was basically expensive on these two catties of beef.

Although it is acceptable, I still feel a little sorry for this money when I spend it. After all, no one's money is blown by the wind.

Back in the guest room, Xie Mingchi followed behind Hua Shi, and when he saw Hua Shi, he stood in front of him, but his eyes looked in the direction of the bed, and he didn't move for a long time.

Xie Mingchi's dark eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly whispered: "The two of us haven't officially married yet, so it's not proper to sleep in the same room......

Before he could speak, he was in a daze, when he heard a low voice behind him, turned his head to look back, and the doubts in his eyes did not decrease: "... What did you just say? ”

She was feeling sorry for the money that was spent, and by the way, she calculated whether the silver she brought out this time was enough to spend, and after thinking about it, she heard Xie Mingchi's whispering voice coming behind her, and she didn't hear it clearly.

Xie Mingchi pursed his lips, stiffened his face, and said very seriously: "So don't worry, I won't take advantage of people's danger, you sleep on the bed, I just sleep on the ground!" ”

His last sentence was loud, as if he was afraid that Hua Shi would not believe his words, so he pressed very hard.

"Huh...?" Hua Shi was slightly stunned, and his brain didn't turn around.

She didn't expect Xie Mingchi's thoughts to deviate so far from her own thoughts, her eyes looked at the only bed, and her eyes touched.

The size and width of the room, sleeping two adult people, is indeed a little crowded, but you can still sleep if you squeeze it......

Hua Shi said, "No, you can still sleep if you squeeze it." ”

As soon as she said this, Xie Mingchi's face suddenly turned red.

The candle flame in the room was dim, and he couldn't see the expression on the other party's face clearly, Xie Mingchi's face suddenly blushed, and he didn't notice it.

It's just that when he looked back, Xie Mingchi's face seemed to be a little darker than what he looked at during the day, dark and dull color, not like the wheat color that had been sunburned.

Hua Shi was puzzled for a moment, thinking that he had seen it wrong, or that the candle flame was too dim.

After waiting for a while, Xie Mingchi didn't speak, and Hua Shiben was a tacit acquiescence.

She didn't have as twists and turns as Xie Mingchi thought in her heart, she only thought about ...... Anyway, sooner or later, the two will get married, and it will be a matter of time before they become husband and wife, and it is only a matter of time before they share the same bed. Besides, now I just cover myself with a quilt and simply sleep......

Hua Shi put the black cat in his arms on the table next to him, and then he heard a knock on the door.

"Knock-"

Two crisp sounds sounded through a wooden door.

"Guest, the hot water you asked for has been brought here."

It was the voice of the shopkeeper, sulking from outside the door.

When checking out, I felt sticky and uncomfortable when I spent time, I hadn't taken a bath for too long, and my body was sticky and uncomfortable, so I asked for hot water by the way, thinking about wiping my body before going to bed, washing my feet, and then going to sleep.

"Here we are."

Hua Shi bypassed Xie Mingchi, who was blocked behind him, walked over, opened the door, and saw two shopkeepers, carrying two buckets of steaming water, standing outside the door.

"Come in." Hua Shi opened the door, made way of the way, and motioned for the two to come in.

After the two of them put down the hot water in the barrel and trotted out again, they closed the door again and locked the latch by the way, saving them from forgetting to lock it for a while.

"Xie Mingchi, do you want to wipe yourself before sleeping?"

Hua Shi walked to the table, turned over the clothes in the baggage he brought, wanted to find clean clothes, and changed them when he wiped them clean.

She asked, looking for something.

After waiting for a while, Hua Shi only heard the sound of the black cat flicking its tail and licking its paws, and did not hear Xie Mingchi's response.

"Xie Mingchi...?"

Hua Shi was a little puzzled, stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look over, and only saw a straight shoulder.

“… Well. ”

Xie Mingchi seemed to sense the burning gaze behind him, stiffened his body, and answered in a muffled voice.

Odd......

Hua Shi found his clothes, lifted the hot water from the wooden bucket, walked to the corner of the room, and pulled the screen on one side to isolate Xie Mingchi's back, and a trace of doubt crossed his eyes.

Fang Cai didn't feel anything yet...... How did he just say two words, Xie Mingchi's attitude became a little weird, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and it was only after a long time of talking that he squeezed out a muffled voice.

What's going on......

Ruohua Shi ran over and grabbed Xie Mingchi's hand with doubts, and she could easily find that the person standing with her back to her at this time was like a piece of wood......

At this moment, his whole body was stiff, the place above his neck was congested and red, and the skin on his face was black, red, and red, as if he was holding his breath too much and was about to faint at any time.

Xie Mingchi froze stiffly in place, his hands hanging on his sides, unconsciously clenched into fists, relaxed, squeezed fists, relaxed, and repeated several times, still feeling that the qi and blood all over his body seemed to be surging up to his brain.

He, he, he... I heard the sound of Ah Shi's clothes rubbing, and he squirmed......

Ah Shi also said that he would share the bed with him tonight..., share the bed, share the bed...!

"Bang!"

The thud of a chair tripping.

"What sound?"

When he had just taken off his coat, he was barearmed, and he heard the sound of something being knocked down, and poked his head out and saw it.

"No... It's nothing! ”

In the sight of Hua Shi, under the shaking of the candle flame, Xie Mingchi, who was facing her with his back, bent over, covered the sore calf, and slowly helped the chair that fell to the ground again.

It looks like I accidentally hit the chair......

Hua Shi retracted, quickly scrubbed his body, put on clean clothes, and came out from behind the screen tent, and saw Xie Mingchi sitting on the chair with his back to her, as if he was serious.

The tips of Xie Mingchi's ears were slightly red, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, the palms he was holding began to heat again.

"I'm fine, you go ......"

"Good!"

Before Hua Shi finished speaking, Xie Mingchi stood up straight, staggered her stiffly, and walked behind her.

"Don't you take your clothes?" Hua Shi looked at his empty hands.

Xie Mingchi walked back again, rummaged through the baggage, took out the clothes inside, turned around and walked away, and did it in one go.

"Hot water is still here......" Hua Shi pointed to another bucket of clean hot water, his eyes staring at Xie Mingchi's back more and more strangely.

Xie Mingchi turned around and walked over with two more bangs, and lifted it vigorously, and the heavy wooden barrel was overpowered by his force, and it was lifted into the air, and the hot water contained in it even spilled out uncontrollably......

Hua Shi's hesitant expression, when he noticed Xie Mingchi's ears that were so red that they were almost bleeding, was stunned for two seconds, and immediately suddenly realized.

Xie Mingchi... Is this shy?!

Thinking of Xie Mingchi, who became especially eccentric at the beginning... It seems that since she proposed to sleep in the same bed, he has been stiffly facing her back, and he can't squeeze out a word for a long time......

After coming to a conclusion, Hua Shi's face was also a little hot.

It seems that he is too direct......

Don't blame her, she thinks about her current relationship with Xie Mingchi, although it is not a husband and wife, but it is also a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, sleeping in the same bed, and doing nothing, just sleeping with the quilt on, who would have thought that Xie Mingchi would react so much and be so shy that he ......

No, it's too innocent!

It made her a little embarrassed, she knew that Xie Mingchi's reaction was so big, she still didn't feel sorry for the silver, booked two rooms, and lived separately......

Xie Mingchi's movements were very neat, and he quickly finished scrubbing, got dressed and walked out.

After spending time thinking about it, he looked up and saw Xie Mingchi's black, red, black, red, almost hot face, and met his dodging eyes......

She dared to guarantee that she clearly saw in Xie Mingchi's eyes, the shy emotion.

Hua Shi pinched the corner of his clothes a little helplessly, and coughed lightly, "Or... If you're not used to it, why don't we go down and ask someone to open another room, cough, and sleep separately? ”

Xie Mingchi lowered his head, and after hearing this, he slammed and raised his head.

looked at her face, which was originally dodgy, and seemed to be firm all of a sudden......

"No, that's all... All right. ”

Hua Shi heard his low voice and said very firmly.

In the end, Hua Shi could no longer remember how he lay down on the bed, only that the person sleeping next to him was really stiff as a piece of wood.

When she turned over, she accidentally touched him, and the person who was lying upright and asleep, the arm and shoulder, was obviously stiff a little more.

In the dark, Hua Shi blinked, turned his head to look at the person lying beside him, and said in a low voice, "Don't you cover the quilt?" ”

"Huh."

The quilt covering her body was pulled by a hand and flew up, and half of her body covered in the quilt was exposed to the air.

Flower time: ......

"Pounce—"

After a while, the quilt that had been vigorously dragged away was pulled back by the person next to her, and smashed heavily on her, setting off a layer of cold air.

After perceiving Xie Mingchi's unease, Hua Shi silently closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Okay......

Let's go to sleep.

…
