Chapter 112: Luoxia County rests and stays at the hotel
Leaving Xuncheng and going north, it can be regarded as the county town of Zhao.
Compared with the military town style of Xuncheng, Zhucheng County naturally has a lot more popularity.
Meng Juntong and Xue Ding's footsteps were relatively fast, so it only took less than two days to enter the next county town.
This city is called Luoxia County, the last time he passed through Luoxia County, Xue Ding had encountered some things here, so when he entered the city, Xue Ding wrapped a strip of cloth around the Basheng knife he carried, and he was also simple and easy to change his appearance.
It's not that Schröding is afraid of things, it's just that the matter here is an unnecessary trouble for him, and it is inconvenient to solve it by force. In addition, now that he is with Meng Juntong by his side, it is even more difficult to have more than one thing.
Walking on the street, Xue Ding did not let Meng Juntong choose the Flying Star Inn closest to the city gate.
This Flying Star Inn is located in an excellent market, and business is also very prosperous.
Meng Juntong wanted to settle down here, because he felt that he could hear more useful news here.
This is also the method that Professor Schröding gave him along the way, collecting and analyzing information from irrelevant populations.
Meng Juntong didn't understand why Xue Ding became weird when he arrived in this Luoxia County.
It seems that he is avoiding something all the time, if it is not to respect Xue Ding, Meng Juntong really wants to read Xue Ding's memories in this Luoxia City.
Of course, a little martial arts master like Xue Ding, his memory is not something that can be read just by reading it.
Bypassing the Flying Star Inn, Xue Ding found an inconspicuous and dilapidated restaurant in the most remote corner of the county.
This kind of place is cold and remote, I really don't know what the owner of this restaurant thinks, how can he open the restaurant that needs the most lively popularity to this kind of ghost place.
Sure enough, when I walked into the restaurant, there was not a trace of popularity in the restaurant, which was not very large.
If there are no guests, there is nothing to say, the key is that there is not even a shop here.
There was only an old man, leaning on a small dilapidated rattan chair and gently shaking the fan in his hand.
Shaking the fan this season, Meng Juntong looked like he was going to have a cold war, this is in the north, it is almost winter, there should be something wrong with this old man.
Schröding gently knocked on the long wooden cabinet at the front desk and said softly: "Boss, I want two upper rooms." ”
The old man stopped the swaying fan in his hand, squinted slightly, glanced at Xue Ding and Meng Juntong, and then seemed to have lost interest, continued to lie down, and said weakly: "We don't have a room here, only a few broken thatched houses, if the guest officer feels that this house is simple and unaccustomed to living, it is better to go to the Flying Star Inn at the gate of the city to find it." ”
Meng Juntong was a little curious, how could this businessman have the reason to drive his guests out of the door, and immediately said: "Old man, we just came from the Flying Star Inn, and there is no room there." ”
"Little girl, it's not good to lie lightly when you're young. The old man turned his head: "I'm from Luoxia County, don't you know the truth that there are few foreign tourists in this season." The Flying Star Inn doesn't say much, the front and back yards of the house add up, I'm afraid there are thirty or forty rooms. Even when the spring trade market opens, it can also eat and accommodate guests. When will there be a saying that there are not enough houses? ”
Meng Juntong blushed a little, when he came, he just felt that the Flying Star Inn was full of people, so he thought that it should be a lively place, and it was normal that there were no empty rooms, but he really didn't think of what the old man said.
The inn can stay in the hotel, and you can also drink and eat, which is really an omission.
Meng Juntong looked at Xue Ding a little apologetically, but Xue Ding shook his head quietly, indicating that it was none of Meng Juntong's business, and Xue Ding said: "Don't bother Mr. Lao with anything else, I'll give you money, and you can hand over the key to the house." As he spoke, he placed a small silver ingot on the table.
The value of this silver ingot is far greater than the value of opening a room here.
The old man glanced at the silver ingots that had fallen on the wooden table, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I guessed that I originally thought that these two strangers couldn't afford to live outside the Flying Star Inn, so I found their small tavern in rags.
The world is bustling, all for profit, since it is profitable, what else to say.
The old man threw away the fan and picked up a bunch of keys from the desk in front of him: "Two guest officers, come with me." While talking, he was already leading the way in front of him, and walked inside with Xue Ding and Meng Juntong.
However, the old man is not wrong about one thing, there is really no room in this restaurant.
The houses in the backyard are very simple, and even a few of them are dilapidated even with their doors, and it can be seen that they have not been repaired for a long time.
Meng Juntong is no longer the kind of squeamish little girl, so she casually picked a room that looked complete and sturdy and lived in it.
Schröding lived next door to her.
The old man held the silver ingot given by Xue Ding in his hand, and said with a hint of flattery on his face: "This gentleman, our small shop has a small plate, and we are afraid that we will not be able to find your silver." ”
There is nothing unclear about the meaning of these words, which is urging Schröding to consume.
The silver ingot is only half a tael at best, and if a small shop can't even find this half tael of silver, then there is no need to open any store.
Xue Ding knew the rules of the rivers and lakes, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to look for it, we will stay here for a night, and you can go and prepare some decent meals for us." ”
The old man slapped his thigh, although it was only half a tael of silver, but the feeling of slaughtering people was good: "Don't worry, guest officer, the little old man will definitely go and buy the best food in our Luoxia County, you wait." With that, he turned around and trotted out of the backyard to prepare dinner for Xue Ding and Meng Juntong.
"Brother Xue, you're spending too much money. Meng Juntong shrugged his shoulders slightly: "I don't think we have arrived at the Beishan mine yet, and the silver in this burden will be spent." ”
Xue Ding smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I also saved a lot of savings when I struck iron, and I was afraid that Xue Ying's girl would spend it indiscriminately, and I thought that I could save a thick dowry for her, but I never took it out." Now ......" said this, Schröding's smile stiffened slightly.
Yes, Xue Ying is no longer there, but this thick dowry is no longer needed.
Meng Juntong hurriedly changed the topic, lest Xue Ding fall into sadness: "Brother Xue, how do I feel that your reaction to this Luoxia County is a little strange. You seem to be jealous of this. ”
Meng Juntong thought about it, but only used the word jealousy to describe the feeling that Xue Ding gave her.
She always felt that Schröding seemed to be hiding something from her.
