Chapter 146: Arriving in the Northwest
The group left the train station and planned to settle in Lanzhou first, and Shuangliucheng was not too close to here.
If you ride a horse, it will take about two days, and if you use a horse-drawn carriage, it is estimated that you will not be able to reach it in six or seven days.
When he entered Lanzhou City, Zu'er finally felt what it meant to be in the era of war, and the streets were full of unclothed refugees.
is not only petty theft, but even Na Ming robbed and robbed, that is, Zu'er and his party were more bluffing with knives and guns, or they would be stripped naked as soon as they entered the city.
Uncle Zhao frowned a little when he saw this scene, "Girl, the situation in the city is not very peaceful, and I am afraid that ordinary hotels will not be able to live."
Why don't we find a teahouse to settle down in first, and I'll go around and ask around? ”
So far, this is the only way to go, and a few people have found a teahouse that looks good to rest for a while.
Zhao Ping is an old man, first found a steamed bun shop that looks like a time-honored brand and bought two baskets of steamed buns, and then asked him about the beggars here.
The more war-torn the years, the more there is no shortage of beggars, who are the lowest level of society, but often the most well-informed.
Seeing that Zhao Ping, a foreigner, understood the rules and didn't take the bridge, the beggar asked for 5 oceans, and asked the little beggars to subcontract the children, so he pulled Zhao Ping to tell him about the distribution of forces in the vicinity!
After inquiring about the news, Zhao Ping first went back to the teahouse, and by the way, called a few rickshaws to take them to the Zhengshun Hotel.
This inn is a century-old brand, the owner is okay, the family is quite powerful, and ordinary ruffians and hooligans dare not make trouble.
Outsiders like them live there, as if they have added an extra layer of life savers.
It's a bit expensive, which is equivalent to the protection fee included in the house price.
This inn is really big, and a few people arranged the room and ate downstairs by the way.
Zu'er meant to ride a horse to Shuangliucheng, Uncle Zhao and Zhang Yushan stayed at the hotel to look at the luggage, and she took Chen Pi and Zhang Yunshan to speed back quickly!
Zhao Ping was a little worried, he meant to find an escort from the city's dart bureau.
The beggar said that Lanzhou to Shuangliucheng should pass through the foot of Longshan Mountain, and there was a small wave of bandits entrenched on the mountain.
Either form a large team of 100 people to pass together, or find a dart board escort!
The dart boards in these two cities pay the bandits all year round, and as long as the dart flag is displayed, they will not intercept it.
It must be too late to wait for someone to form a team, more is better than less, anyway, Zuer is not short of money, so in order to save worry, he asked Zhao Ping to contact a dart bureau.
She has to be in a hurry this time, and she doesn't need to be protected by anyone because of her high force value, she only needs two dart masters who are good at riding horses to be responsible for carrying the flag to open the way, and nothing else!
Naturally, there was no shortage of horses in the dart board, so Zuer spent a sum of money to rent three horses with good feet, and agreed to set off early the next morning.
Zhao Ping was careful, and let the gold and silver prepared by Februaryhong be soft for Chen Pi to carry well, and bought water bladder dry food for Zhang Yunshan to carry on his back, and as soon as the people from the dart bureau arrived, the group immediately set off to Shuangliucheng.
The winter in the northwest is dry and cold, and the wind is like a knife, Zu'er really can't get used to wearing the heavy cotton clothes here, so he chose an earthy yellow camouflage field uniform!
After a day of driving during the day, there were no moths, and it was not until they stayed at night that the two dart masters found that Zu'er was actually a lively beauty.
Not only is the face beautiful and glamorous, but the skin is also whiter and more tender than the milk doll, unconsciously, those two eyes are a little not honest!
It's a pity that these two are also active in the heart, Zu'er is not light when he looks at the Xuantie big knife behind him, and these two are obviously practitioners, so they will not be too willing to die!
The place where I stayed was just a small hotel, dirty and unsightly, Zu'er spread plastic sheeting on the bed, and lay down with the knife and clothes of the sixth master for a night!
The next day, I ran for another day, and even the dry food was eaten on the horse, and finally arrived in Shuangliucheng in the evening.
Zhang Yunshan inquired a little in the city, and chose the largest inn to stay first, and he could only talk about it tomorrow morning.
Zu'er really can't get used to eating things here, so she uses the excuse that she is not hungry and opens a small stove in the room by herself.
Zhang Yunshan and Chen Pi were in a room, the two dart masters were in a room, and a few people had dinner downstairs, and the two dart masters said that they went out to see their friends!
Chen Pi gave Xiao Er some tips and wanted to inquire about the situation of the white-headed viper!
Chen Pi can be regarded as inquiring about the right person, if ordinary people really don't know, the white-headed viper is the nickname of the rivers and lakes, her real name is Bai Xiu, and she lives in Xiangyun Building not far away!
When Xiao Er finished explaining the details of Xiangyun Building, Zhang Yunshan and Chen Pi frowned.
Without him, as the name suggests, it is a brothel!
Xiao Er looked at them with solemn expressions and explained, "The two guest officers asked about the white girl who came to seek medical treatment, right?"
Don't despise the white girl just because she lives in a brothel, that person is a ruthless person, with good medical skills and better poison!
We are the best inn in the city, and every year people from the rivers and lakes come to seek medical treatment.
cured a lot of people who left Huan Huanxi happily, and many people who were killed by the white girl for their disrespectful words. ”
Zhang Yunshan thanked Xiao Er for the reminder and grabbed a handful of copper for him, glanced at Chen Pi and went to Zu'er's room.
Zu'er was also surprised when she heard them say that this white-headed viper turned out to be a woman, this black-backed sixth child was really unreliable, so he gave the address and name without even saying the man or woman.
Fortunately, this one is more famous, otherwise they would definitely not be able to inquire about the old man.
Zhang Yunshan was a little embarrassed, "Why don't I go to visit with Chen Pi tomorrow, that place ...... Auntie, it's not appropriate for you to go. ”
Zu'er snorted and laughed, "Is it appropriate for me to go, so it's appropriate for you two to go?" Don't see a beautiful woman forgetting everything about business! ”
Chen Pi immediately glared at Zu'er in shame, "You don't look down on people, what kind of woman hasn't you seen, as for being dazzled by a few broken flowers and willows?" ”
Zu'er smiled even more happily, "What's the use of you and me, pretending to be a veteran?"
Just the two of you, raw melons and eggs, poke that one and reveal the filling!
The women in there are very strong, and they like to tease innocent young people like you the most.
If you don't turn your face, you two will be taken advantage of, and if you turn your face, we won't be able to seek medical treatment!
Relax, tomorrow I will meet this beautiful snake, there is a knife of the sixth master, nothing can happen! ”
Although Chen Pi was a little unconvinced, he also knew that what Zu'er said was not unreasonable, the most important thing now was to seek medical treatment, if those women pestered him, it would be really difficult to do it.
This inn is quite clean, and Zuer has slept for the first time in the past few days.
The brothels are open at night, and in the morning the girls go to bed and don't really have time until two or three o'clock in the afternoon!
Zu'er was not in a hurry, and spent a piece of ocean to let the young man tell him about the white-headed viper carefully!
Sure enough, the ocean is better than copper, and I found out a lot of little-known secrets.
In general, it's a very old-fashioned story, an infatuated woman with a bad heart!
The simple Miao girl rescued a young master who ran a businessman, and followed others to this unfamiliar place.
Unexpectedly, the young master lost the capital, so he took the Miao girl to the brothel and said that he would take the money to ransom him.
You don't have to think about the result to know, naturally the yellow crane is gone.
The brothel is not charitable, since no one will redeem it after a while, it is natural to let Bai Xiu make money to make up for the loss!
Unexpectedly, this time the old bustard looked away, this seemingly weak little daughter-in-law turned out to be a Gu girl, a small flute sounded, and her brothel was surrounded by snakes.
Bai Xiu didn't embarrass her, as long as she had a small courtyard and said that she would wait for her lover to redeem her!
Money is also easy to do, she has good medical skills and can make money to pay off debts!
