Chapter 232: Accommodation
But all the houses were empty.
In addition to the various household belongings that were destroyed, there was only some residual heat on the kang that had been burned overnight.
Feng Lao thought that they went out, or went back to Zhaojia Village, and missed him.
Until he saw a letter on the collapsed table in the house where he had lived before.
And his treasure medicine box was actually moved here!?
Feng Lao immediately opened the letter, and in his eyes, it was a letter dictated by Jiang Wancheng and written by Wen Erlang:
Master:
I don't know where you are, I'm worried.
If you are able to come back one day, and unfortunately miss us, then by the time you read this letter, the three of us have already left home and gone to Fujun County.
Presumably you already know what happened in your family at this moment, so we are here to help the family, not for anything else, but to find Lang Jun's bones.
Master, because I am not sure about the return date, and I am afraid that there will be changes on the way, so I took all your treasures back home.
The apprentice had already borrowed two bottles of your treasure before, and it was thanks to Master, your treasure, that the apprentice's life was saved twice.
Today, the disciple borrowed two more bottles and put them on his body as a precautionary measure.
Master, if you don't see the three of us when you come home, don't worry about us.
If Lang Jun's bones are successfully found, the coffin will be returned to Wushan and buried for him again.
In vain, Jiang Wancheng.
Feng Lao felt a pain in his heart, this letter did not have a word of pain, but it was full of grief!
He couldn't help but wet his eyes.
No longer staying, Feng Lao picked up the letter and stuffed it into his arms, picked up his treasure poison box, and hurried out again.
It's night.
When it reached the willow tops on the moon, the delivery convoy stopped in front of an inn in a wilderness.
This car shop is the only car shop in Qingyang Town, in addition to renting all kinds of cars and horses on weekdays, this transportation of goods is the main business and source of most of it.
However, because of the limited conditions, most of the cars in Qingyang are some oxen, mules and donkeys, and then board carts are used as the main means of transportation.
Of course, like the carriage rented by Wen Chaoyan before, there were also some old horses, but this time after Qingyang Town suffered such a disaster, now there are no horses.
Originally, Jiang Wancheng also thought that when they went to Fujin County, they would be more suitable for renting a carriage or a mule cart.
But she couldn't drive horses, so she had to hire a groom.
Although she can afford the cost now, after thinking about it again, she feels that it may be too eye-catching, and if they are robbed again, they are afraid that they will not even have the power to parry.
Therefore, pretending to be poor like now, pretending to be a man, and following a group of powerful merchants, she thought it would be safer.
After tying up the goods and placing the three animals, the merchandisers went in to eat and drink.
Looks like they're planning to stay here tonight.
A one-night stay here costs 40 yuan per person.
If Jiang Wancheng is three people, it will cost one hundred and twenty wen to have three beds.
Naturally, she was more reluctant to squeeze in with this group of men, so she didn't plan to do so in the first place.
What's more, since Jiang Wancheng only had six copper plates left on her body, it was impossible for her to pay for it again, so she could only wronged the two children and found an unsightly corner with her to sleep out for one night.
Just as the three of them were walking out, the cow suddenly called out to them.
"Hey, boy! Come for a drink? ”
"yes, come here! You gave us meat buns today, and we invited you to eat wine! ”
Jiang Wancheng hurriedly refused: "No, no need, thank you, big brothers." In fact, my little brother and I have too much alcohol, if I accidentally make a joke, my two younger brothers will have no one to take care of them, and I will not spoil your fun. Drink well, drink well. ”
Jiang Wancheng made an extremely humble and lowly appearance, and Niu Da looked down on her very much.
"It's boring. So, if you dare to drink a bowl, let us go to the shopkeeper and say to the keeper, "How about you three brothers stay for one night for free?" ”
"That's right! Drink a bowl, and the cowshed will be given to you to live in, so that you don't have to sleep in the open, right? ”
"Don't you want to think about it, if it rains again at night, won't you be drenched in soup? It doesn't matter if you're sick, the doll is sick now, but it's a trouble! ”
Wen Erlang secretly grabbed Jiang Wancheng and shook his head at her.
Jiang Wancheng faced such temptation and agitation, although he was moved, he still refused.
She refused again and again, and the angry Niu Da and others scolded her for not knowing what to do and being cowardly as a mouse.
Jiang Wancheng was not annoyed, but just smiled honestly.
She knew how much she had drunk, so she was afraid that if she really got drunk and fell invisibly and accidentally revealed the identity of the girl, that would be the most dangerous thing.
However, they are right about one thing.
At this moment, the dark clouds cover the moon again, in case it really rains again tonight, and it rains Erlang and Sister Ya'er, and they accidentally get sick again, and the gains outweigh the losses.
So, she dismissed the idea of sleeping in the open, but found the innkeeper and handed over all six copper coins to her face.
"Shopkeeper, please give us the firewood room for one night! This is really all the money left on the three of us brothers. If you agree, I can get up early tomorrow and help the proprietress make some breakfast, and the three of us brothers will never eat a bite! ”
The proprietor, who is also the treasurer, is not willing to agree at all.
said that even if it was a firewood room, the three of them would have to charge at least forty wen.
Jiang Wancheng dared to show his wealth again, so he could only pull his empty money bag with a sad and anxious face and say, it's really gone.
It was the lady of the shopkeeper's house who saw that they were really pitiful, so she said to her husband: "Boss, in addition to the two upper rooms in the guest room today, even the Chase Shop is full!" ”
"Early tomorrow morning, I still have to cook for so many people by myself, and I don't know how tired I will be. Just agree, let him give me a hand tomorrow morning, and besides, Liuwen money is also money, isn't it? ”
The shopkeeper's gloomy face, "Our family is not a charity hall?" What do they do cheaply? Get out if you don't have any money! ”
"Also, I just heard them say that as long as he drinks a bowl of wine, let them go to sleep in the cowshed, and he will not go alone. If you live in a cowshed, I can let them pay another twenty yuan. ”
The proprietress said: "This little Langjun is a responsible person, didn't you see that he still has two younger brothers?" If you drink too much wine, it is indeed inappropriate. Have you forgotten the hardships you suffered with your two brothers back then? Boss~! ”
As soon as the proprietress is coquettish, where can the shopkeeper still eat?
"Okay, okay. However, since he had to work, he let him boil enough hot water tonight before he could go to sleep. ”
"Also, there is hay in the firewood room, and the rest, we will not provide anything."
How could Jiang Wancheng not agree?
thanked the shopkeeper and the proprietress in a row.
If you have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, where will you dislike it?
However, when the three of them came to the firewood room, they found that it was still very difficult to stay here for one night.
Because, the firewood room is full of wood, and the place where you can lie down can only accommodate one person.
