YUAN Wuguo,

Linjiang Town.

Because it is located at the junction of the two countries, it is not only an important military town of the government, but also a thoroughfare for business between the two countries.

In the afternoon, the taverns and inns on the streets of the center of the town are full of businessmen who go south and north to eat, especially the century-old "Qingxiang Zhai", which is even more overcrowded.

The shopkeeper of the house has just won the customer's two dollars of silver, and is wiping the table and wiping it neatly, and the proprietress who is in charge of the house over there has already seen it with her eyes, shaking the thick waist of the bucket and twisting it, while quietly pinching the small second-hand future and the reward silver in the bag into her own hands, while sifting wine for the guests, turning her head and screaming to Xiong Dayou: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and get a hot towel for the guest!" A few guests are doing a big deal at a glance, this road is tired, must be very tired, let Xiao Er get a few hot towels to cover their faces, and then drink a few glasses, and wait until they are full, we have a guest room here, not I blow, on this street, we are the cleanest in our house!"

As soon as the proprietress said this, Rao was a few merchants who traveled from south to north, and they couldn't help but feel useful, and one of the big men with a beard on his face was even more happy: "The proprietress is really good at talking! Uncle has been going back and forth for so many years, and he has been staying in the store every day, and you are the most flattering! Haha, it seems that this century-old brand is not called in vain." ”

"A few guest masters have never seen anything in the world, and it is our blessing to be able to come to our small shop......! Dayou, after a while, I will quickly let a few guests clean the guest room carefully, and we must let a few of us rest comfortably for a few days to recuperate, they are all people who make a lot of money, and if you serve well, you can lose your reward?"

Xiong Dayou waited for the guests to run out of hot towels, and just turned around and walked to the back room with the basin, when he suddenly heard a noise at the door, turned his head to look, and a table of guests at the door was slapping the table and shouting: "Where did you come from called Hanako, get out!"

Xiong Dayou hurriedly put the basin on the counter and trotted to the door, frowning and shouting to a ragged man who fell to the ground outside the door: "Do you know the rules! Go and go, and come back in an hour!"

The guests next to him were still arguing, and I saw that the proprietress had already held the counter and shouted, "Yo Yo Yo, where did this come from called Huazi, hurry up and blow away the old lady!

"Called Hanako" grinned, turned over with difficulty, still leaned on the threshold, and said with bared teeth: "These rabbit cubs are so ruthless, they almost planted them." Man, get me something to eat, just stick to anything and be light. Master give money!"

Seeing that Xiong Dayou's brows were frowning deeper and deeper, he glanced at his heart and knew that it was because he was dressed like a beggar asking for food, so he couldn't help but smile and simply closed his eyes.

"Hehe, I'm not called Hanako, I was robbed on the way to buy and sell, dozens of people died, and the rest were scattered, I relied on a horse for three days and three nights to run here, if it wasn't for the master, I practiced, maybe I would have explained to the halfway. ”

The guests who came to the door originally slapped the table and scolded the mother for letting the store drive away this "called Hanako", but when they heard this, they glanced at each other, and couldn't help but stretch their necks one by one and asked: "Brother, which business are you? How many people are there in the bandits?"

"What the fuck are you doing, hurry up and help my brother in!"

"Boss, get this brother something to eat, count it on my head!"

For a while, the atmosphere in Qingxiang Zhai suddenly became lively. Xiong Dayou put his arm on the young man's arm, and the proprietress commanded the other two guys to hug and lift, tossing for a long time, freeing up half of the table, and changing the chair with backrest armrests, which settled the young man.

Leaning on the chair, the young man seemed to be more comfortable, looked at the guests in a circle, slowly closed his eyes again, and said softly: "Everyone, take care of it, I escaped death, I was tired all the way, and I haven't had a mouthful of hot food in my mouth for a few days." Let me rest a little longer. ”

"Little brother, you should talk about what happened to your son first, and I'll take care of the food after you finish speaking!"

"That's it, this road was quite peaceful in the past, why did you come out of the robbery, little brother, tell everyone about it. ”

"Didn't you ask Hanako to cheat on food, did you?"

"Hey, look at him, there's a wound on his body!

When the young man sat down and said a word, they closed their eyes and stopped talking, so they pouted for him to speak.

I only heard a cough, and an old man in a sauce-colored robe with two beards paced in from the crowd, and arched his hand towards everyone with a smile on his face: "Rank in the ranks, in the Xialianghe Business Alliance Sha Chu, you are also the bosses who have been going back and forth between Yuanwu and Yue for a long time, and there are robbers on the road, for the sake of safety, presumably the rank is not in a hurry to set off in the next two days." Listening to the next words, this little brother is obviously extremely tired at this time, it is better to settle down first, it is time to rest and rest, and when the little brother recovers a little, it is not too late to tell everyone, how about it?"

Seeing that everyone couldn't answer the conversation for a while, the old man smiled slightly, ignored everyone, turned to the proprietress and said: "First open a clean guest room from the backyard, and two guys will send the little brother to the room, prepare some light pasta, don't put oil, feed the little brother." After speaking, he handed over a piece of silver.

The proprietress took the silver happily, smiled like a flower on her face, and went to arrange it.

The old man turned around and instructed the attendants who followed behind: "Use my carriage to go to the city and ask a doctor to come." ”

By the time the order was finished, several men had already come over and carried the young man to the guest room in the backyard.

Seeing that the old man was generous, and arranged everything in a few words, everyone returned to their seats, and while chewing wax, they ate their meals, and quietly ordered the people to go to the counter to open the guest rooms for two more days.

The young man was "gently" carried to the guest room by the guys, and then put him on the bed, and when he heard the door closed from the outside, he opened his eyes and muttered: "I didn't expect that my Li Feiyu would have today's disaster." ”
