The convoy that had just left the city moved slowly, staggering for a while before entering the official road.

After feeling the speed of the carriage, Xu Che dared to lift a corner of the curtain to look out, and saw that he had left the city pass far away at this time, and finally took a deep breath and sighed: "It's really a good errand to be a soldier guarding the city, and you can receive benefits without working hard." ”

Mu Xun sneered and said disdainfully: "As far as their group is concerned, they are all moths who have not worked hard, and if you want to rely on them to guard the city... I dare assert that if war breaks out someday, it will be their moths who will be the first to slip away. ”

Xu Che smiled: "You are upright, but don't forget, if it weren't for the help of these moths, it would be difficult for us to get out of the city." ”

Mu Xun glared at Xu Che, Xu Che hurriedly turned his head away, stuck out his tongue, and didn't dare to say anything more.

The caravan marched at a constant speed all the way, and before it knew it, it came to the afternoon, when the sun had begun to turn westward, gradually losing its scorching and domineering arrogance, and the heat wave that had remained between heaven and earth slowly dissipated.

Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew up, blowing away the residual heat and bringing coolness. Mu Xun felt this cool breath, reached out and lifted the curtains on both sides, let the breeze pour into the carriage at will, and then pillowed his hands and lay down comfortably.

Mu Xun on the side saw Xu Che so comfortable, and he also learned from his appearance, and lay down with his hands on the pillow. The cool breeze helped them sleep, and after a while, the two fell asleep.

The two of them slept very deeply, and the bumpy road and the dust in the sky after that failed to wake them up, until the convoy reached the place where they landed, they were woken up by Wei Chonghai.

Mu Xun rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the stars in the night sky outside the window, and woke up for a long time, and then asked, "Brother Wei, where are we here?"

Wei Chonghai said with a smile: "I have left Kunming City for thirty miles, this is the post house where our caravan often rests, you two come down and get ready to eat." ”

Mu and Xu hurriedly got out of the carriage and followed Wei Chonghai into the post house.

At this time, the hall was already full, and the first three tables in the east were sitting Wei Chonghai's caravan. The three of them came to the table, and the food on the table was all ready, but no one moved the chopsticks first, obviously waiting for the three of them.

Xu Che glanced at it, knowing that it was he and Mu Xun who delayed everyone's dinner, and suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly apologized to everyone;

Wei Chonghai waved his hand to everyone and said, "Open the meal." After speaking, he arranged for Mu Xun and Xu Che to sit in the vacant seats.

Mu Xun looked at the dishes on the table, there were many vegetarian meats, and they didn't look good, and there was no alcohol, so he suddenly lost his appetite, raised his eyes and looked at the counter, leaned over to Wei Chonghai's ear and asked, "Brother Wei, don't we drink?"

Wei Chonghai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and whispered: "We are not allowed to drink alcohol when we go out to do business, this is the rule." However, if my brother is addicted to alcohol, he can drink two sips in private when he goes back to his room to rest, but he must be patient here, and don't let me break the rules. ”

Mu Xun nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "Are the people who eat in this inn all going to the caravan?"

Wei Chonghai glanced around, returned to his normal tone, and said, "Well, yes, most of the people in this hall are merchants who come and go. ”

Mu Xun looked around with interest, Wei Chonghai saw that he was slow to move his chopsticks, and knew that the dishes must be crude and unsuitable for his appetite, so he said: "If my brother thinks that the food is not very palatable, you can go to the kitchen and have a look, and let the stir-fry master make a few things for you." ”

When Mu Xun heard this, he wanted to open his mouth to say "good", but when he saw that everyone at the table was looking at him with strange eyes, he had to swallow his words back and sneered: "Brother Wei, don't be careful, the younger brother ate a big wine at lunch, and now he has no appetite, it's not that the food is not up to taste." ”

Wei Chonghai persuaded: "You have to eat some, there is no supper here at night." ”

Mu Xun nodded yes, lifted his chopsticks and looked at the dishes on the table. But how could these superficial dishes in front of him satisfy the appetite of a person who prefers delicacies and thick oil and red sauce, he really can't whet his appetite, so he just copes with some green vegetables and tofu to eat. On the other hand, Xu Che, who was sitting next to him, ate smoothly, and only stopped after eating two large bowls of food in a row.

After everyone finished dinner, Wei Chonghai led Mu Xun and Xu Che up to the second floor, stopped in front of a guest room, and said: "I didn't know that there would be two companions before, and the caravan didn't ask for more rooms when booking rooms, and now the rooms in the store are all full, so I have to aggrieved the two to stay in my room." ”

Xu Che hurriedly asked, "Where does Brother Wei live?"

Wei Chonghai said: "I'm going to make do with a brother, it's not in the way." ”

Mu Xun and Xu Che thanked Wei Chonghai again and again, but Wei Chonghai waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to thank you, the caravan will be in the wilderness in a few days, and it is inevitable that you will have to sleep outside, so you two have to be a little mentally prepared." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Mu Xun inadvertently.

Mu Xun was awkwardly looked at by him, and said loudly: "Brother Wei also underestimated me, when you sleep in the wild, junior brother will help you protect the goods!"

Wei Chonghai didn't expect Mu Xun's reaction to be so violent, and he was embarrassed at the moment: "That's not necessary. Okay, you go in and rest, I'll have to get up early tomorrow and I'll have to check the goods again." ”

Sending Wei Chonghai away, Mu Xun turned around and pushed the door in, Xu Che also followed into the house, and after closing the door with his backhand, the two looked at the furnishings in the house at the same time.

The furnishings in the room are extremely simple, there is a shelf on the left side of the door, on which is a basin and a face towel, in front of it is a table with four benches, the table has been lit with oil lamps, but because of the oil, the light is dimmed, and there is a large bed behind the table against the wall, and there is nothing else in the room.

Mu Xun walked to the table and sat down, and said, "This post house is really shabby, not to mention the poor food, and this accommodation is even more simple. ”

Xu Che smiled bitterly: "Young master, let's not be too particular about going out, I have never slept on such a big bed." ”

Mu Xun suddenly frowned, and muttered: "But there is only one bed here, I have always been used to sleeping alone, where do you sleep?"

Xu Che said: "You just sleep on the bed, and I'll arrange four stools later, and you can deal with it for a night." ”

Mu Xun asked, "This stool is cold and hard, can you sleep?"

Xu Che said: "I also sleep like this at home, I'm used to it, don't worry." ”

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Che went to open the door, only to see Wei Chonghai outside the door, at this time he was holding a wine jug in one hand, holding an oil paper package in the other, looking into the house, and when he saw Mu Xun, he shook the wine jug in his hand, and said with a smile: "I was just about to go out to inspect the goods, and when I passed by the kitchen, I happened to see the master in charge cutting roast chicken, so I brought half of it to you by the way, and I also asked for half a pot of wine." As he spoke, he shook the flask in his hand again.
