Wei Xiaodao didn't expect the tavern owner to ask out loud, so he had to answer truthfully: "I'll go to Dahe." ”

Perhaps because he had eaten something, his voice was not as hoarse as it had been, and his lips were a little rosy. However, the skin peeking out from under the hood still looked pale, and the words still seemed weak.

"You don't want to die?"

Maybe Xiao Si is used to ushering in and sending him, and he has already given birth to a kind face, which makes people feel close. But after listening to Wei Xiaodao's words, his face became distorted.

From this face, Wei Xiaodao could see doubts and incomprehension, as well as warm concern.

From the first time he entered the tavern to the present, Wei Xiaodao showed a smile for the first time.

He smiled, and then said to Xiao Si: "I have something urgent, I want to go to Dahe!"

Before Wei Xiaodao's words came out, Xiao Si's brows were twisted together. He only thought for a moment and said, "The wind and snow are too heavy tonight, and I will ask my mother-in-law to clean up a room in a while." ”

"Whatever happens, I'll talk about it later!"

A warm current crossed Wei Xiaodao's heart, and he was about to open his mouth to say a few words of thanks. But when the tavern door was pushed open, a group of people dressed as merchants stood outside.

Before this person came in, the sound mixed with the wind and snow had already reached everyone's ears.

"Shopkeeper, here are two catties of beef!"

"A few more pots of good wine, come up!"

There are guests arriving, and Xiao Si is not good at talking to Wei Xiaodao again. He put his palm on the table, then put the rag on his shoulder, and said "Come on!"

When he was about to leave, he didn't forget to tell Wei Xiaodao, "Wait here for a while, there are a lot of guests tonight." With that, he busied himself again to greet the guests.

However, Wei Xiaodao did not continue to sit down as Xiao Si said, he looked at the middle-aged man who greeted him with a smile in the distance, and bowed deeply.

Wei Laodao once told him that if someone treats you well for no reason, they either want to stab you in the back, or they are really good people!

He knew the tavernkeeper's good intentions, but he also knew that he could not repay him, so he had to learn from the most learned gentleman he had ever met, and bow deeply to this kind man.

Kindness tonight will be repaid in the future!

When people are busy, it is easy to lose track of time. Half an hour had passed since the tavern owner had finished greeting the guests. When he reached the corner, he found that the young man in the tattered cloak was no longer there.

Along with the boy's disappearance, there were also a few bottles of spirits in the palm of his hand.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's temper came up, and he immediately cursed loudly in the tavern. After the surrounding drinkers heard the reason, they all followed and scolded Wei Xiaodao for not being authentic.

Not to mention the steamed buns given by the tavern owner, he actually gave him a few bottles of wine before leaving.

But it's also to blame the tavern owner for being so busy that he doesn't even know when this man left.

"Don't say anything about eating Lao Tzu's steamed buns for nothing, and steal my wine, what's this called?!"

"It's good under the heavy snow outside, so you will be killed by the "White Devil" outside!"

The surrounding drinkers echoed for a while, but no one took this matter to heart, and no one really felt the same way as the tavern owner. They just thought of it as a funny thing that happened tonight, and at most they remembered it later when they were drinking with friends, and took it out as a joke.

Xiao Si scolded a few words and his anger disappeared, and now that he has calmed down, he has lost his anger towards Wei Xiaodao.

No one is a fool, if he doesn't hide under the covers on a snowy night, he will go to at least nine out of ten lives! But Wei Xiaodao is still gone, which means that he is really in a hurry to go to Dahe City.

"If you lose this wine, you can lose it!"

Xiao Si muttered in his heart, and sighed secretly in his heart: "I only hope that those few pots of wine can save your life tonight!"

But then he immediately made a bitter face, the thief woman counted the wine money clearly every day, and the wine was less for no reason, and it was estimated that she had to drink it secretly!

Thinking of this, Xiao Si hurriedly ran to the backyard, he had to hide the washboard, otherwise who could stand kneeling all night?

The wind and snow outside the house were full of wind and snow, and the house was full of heat, and the drinkers began to chat again. The excitement always passed by with a smile, and after a while, everyone forgot what had just happened.

No one will remember that just now, there was a down-and-out young man sitting in the corner of the tavern.

It's really a wind and snow when you come, and there is no ripple in the quiet lake when you go.

Maybe the people in the tavern won't know that tonight there is a young man who returned from the north and south, and from this nameless tavern he started to travel eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, and the cold knife is a long night walk!

There was no word all night, and the wind stopped and the snow was quiet the next morning.

Outside the gate of Dahe City, Wei Xiaodao sat under a dead old locust tree. Wrapped in his dirty, blackened, shabby cloak that was already shiny, so bright that it could almost glow.

The cloak covered him completely, and if it weren't for the occasional slight tremble, he would have been treated like a dead man. After all, it's normal for a few people to die on a snowy night, let alone a homeless person.

A foraging bird falls, shaking the treetops with snow.

It was at this moment that Wei Xiaodao's dirty hands reached out from his sheepskin cloak and caught the falling snowflakes.

It's just that the snowflakes just touched his palm, and they turned into a little crystal. Wei Xiaodao didn't care, he picked up a handful of snow with his hand and began to rub it back and forth in the palm of his hand.

In just a moment, the snow melted because of the warmth of the palm, and then the dark red ice water flowed out from between the fingers, and the moment it dripped on the ground, it left dark red plum blossoms on the white snow.

As a handful of white snow was picked up, it finally turned into a dark red liquid under the rubbing. The dirt faded, and Wei Xiaodao's hands were also red from the cold. Now that the dirt on his hands is gone, his hands look much more delicate.

After washing his hands with snow, he reached into his arms, took out a small wine jug, and poured it violently.

Needless to say, this wine was naturally stolen from the tavern last night. He also knew that it was not kind to do this, but walking on a snowy night, without a sip of strong wine to warm his body, it would really kill people!

It stands to reason that from the town where the tavern is located, it is not far from Big River City, only more than thirty miles. But it is undeniable that Wei Xiaodao walked really dangerously last night.

It's not because of the distance, but because I'm afraid of getting lost on a snowy night. Not to mention that it was thirty miles away, Wei Xiaodao had seen him go out on a snowy day to get some firewood, and then never came back.

When I saw the person again, it was already ten miles away, and the person would have already died and couldn't die! From this, it can also be seen how dangerous Wei Xiaodao was last night.

Fortunately, he grew up in the wind and snow in the north of the desert arctic, and he has enough experience in snow night walking, otherwise he may not be able to reach the gate of this big river city today.

This Big River City is also the place where Wei Xiaodao has been on the road for three months.
