Chapter 28 The Brigade

"To ...... It's over!"

The reed rode the donkey, snorted towards the carriage lane behind him, raised the broken gourd and smacked slightly, squinting in enjoyment.

The red cloth covering the carriage swayed, Mo Haoqiong poked his head out, looked around, and said, "Isn't this a village?"

"At this time, it is dusk, and in half an hour, the sky will be dark, and Bochi City is not allowed to enter the city in the dark, and we still have two hours to go, so we can't catch up. Sleep here tonight, and go into the city tomorrow morning. Reed looked at the black charcoal that had been riding the carriage of four people for a long time, and was still relaxed and leisurely, and admired it a little, and then looked at the stupid donkey under his crotch, which was really incomparable.

Patted the donkey, and then headed towards the carriageway: "Then I'll go back first." Tomorrow when you are ready to go, you will go due north, for about two hours, and then look west, and you will be able to see it. ”

After that, he lifted the gourd and poured it into a big mouthful, roared happily, and said, "Ma Fei! Walking~"

The donkey was also very cheerful, and left with the reeds in his hand.

"This uncle is really a strange man. At first, he said that he took a shortcut, but I still didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true, and this road can be faster than the one I know for nearly half a day. I've been leading Huangyou Zezhou for more than half a year, and I've never heard of a village so close to Bochi City. Moreover, it was obviously a donkey, but it was called Ma Fei. "The leader is amazed. What's more, he obviously drank soy milk, but he also drank the posture of fine wine. ”

"The reeds are by no means very human. Zhang Jianyun concluded.

"Hmm...... I remember that the donkey under his crotch was called Ma Fei by name, not Ma Fei when the reed thought it was a horse. Mo Haoqiong thought for a while and said.

"What's the difference?" Zhao Qingqiu was a little confused.

Black Charcoal dragged the empty carriage to follow, and the carriage seemed to be nothing in the gesture of ease it expressed.

The sun is setting, and the sky is pressed at dusk.

The village is dilapidated, with more than 20 families stacked on top of each other, and the smoke is scattered. Only in that corner, there is a two-story inn.

The inn was nameless, and only half of the broken flag hung down. It's just that the water stains on the tables and chairs outside the inn have not dried, which means that the inn is still welcoming guests.

Pushing open the wooden door, the creak was not very loud. As far as the eye can see, the layout of the inn is quite complete and complete, but the unstructured dining table on this floor is empty, and the cobwebs in a few corners are a little dazzling.

It's summer, but the wind in the shop makes people shiver.

"This is too broken...... "The leader of the young master Guiwei looked around, expressing great disgust for this inn, and his front feet were stuck on the rotten and already soft threshold, unwilling to enter.

Zhang Jianyun had nothing to say and walked through the door.

Mo Haoqiong followed.

"What are you talking about! You sleep in the forest in the dark?" Zhao Qingqiu mercilessly pushed the eldest young master and entered the inn.

Looking to the right, the shopkeeper on the counter was skinny, his eyes were blank, and he was beating the abacus with a flick, as if he didn't notice the four of them coming.

What's even stranger is that the abacus that was knocked on, the wooden beads were flying, but there was no sound.

The leader was big-hearted, not feeling weird, strode to the counter, and said with a smile: "Shop, is there a good vacant room?" There are three men and one woman, and a horse and a cart. ”

The shopkeeper raised his head, and the two little bahu made this withered face a little more funny and a little less weird. And the shriveled mouth only opened slightly, but the voice that came out was full of neutrality:

"You've come to the right place! My inn is the best inn in the nearby ten miles and eight villages! There are empty stables-" The shopkeeper's empty gaze stared at the money bag pinned to the leader's waist, "A single Tianzi room is 400 wen a night, a double Tianzi room is 600 wen a night, and the stable is washed with forage and water 300 wen a night......"

"Stop. Shopkeeper, do you have a place or a person number room in this store? The price of this day is too expensive. ”

Zhang Jianyun was wearing a hat and a light veil on his face, making it difficult to see his face. She walked to the counter at some point and said helplessly to the shopkeeper.

Even according to the price of the inn in the city, the best single room is only 300 wen a night, and the inn can be kept clean and tidy, and the best one may also have luxury configurations such as cicada silk quilt light gauze tent, not to mention this inn in the village, which is dilapidated and unspeakable.

The shopkeeper didn't care, "I'm really sorry, because the original capital was not enough, the inn was only built on the second floor, so there is only a Tianzi room." The price of the small shop is this, you think it is expensive and you can not live here. First of all, the residents of this village do not welcome guests, and Bochi City is not allowed to enter the city after dark. If the guests leave this place and have no place to stay, and come back, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold it, and the price will be slightly raised, I don't know. ”

The eyes of the leader asking for help turned back to the two people who were still standing at the door, Mo Haoqiong scratched his face and said, "I don't care, it's not me who pays anyway." ”

However, Zhao Qingqiu's eyes became more and more fierce when he looked around, and he didn't know if he had found something.

The leader twisted his head back in convulsions, clutching his purse in pain. That's it, and it bleeds once.

Although the leader is said to be the eldest young master of the leading family, a proper rich son, but he is careful about money, and he is extremely picky, usually the rich children must have guards and attendants next to him, and the leader does not bring one, because he feels that these people follow him, and the food and clothing are spent on him, and those guards have to be rewarded after they finish their shots, and they are really expensive, and the leader is not killed.

And black charcoal a horse, although the taste is unique, the grass should be accompanied by soybeans, and there are raw eggs stirred in it, but its consumption is already very cheap compared to a big man who spends his strength. Moreover, if the black charcoal initiates a ruthless attack, the force is no less than a few masters, and it can also be used for leading rides on weekdays, even if there is a little temper, it can really be regarded as extremely practical.

But if it is for these three people, he is willing to use one of his precious silver taels.

Money, after all, is still used in the end.

The leader looked at the three of them again, a little tangled.

Zhang Jianyun is really a woman, Mo Haoqiong and Zhao Qingqiu have not yet known, if it is true to open four single rooms, and they don't know how to distribute it if they open four single rooms......

"Childe?"

The shopkeeper's loud voice finally brought the leader back to his senses.

"Sorry, sorry, distracted, we need four singles, a good horse in the stable, and help take care of our carriage...... ,”

"The carriage is guarded for fifty dollars a night. The shopkeeper's smile is called a brilliant, wrinkled and squeezed like a chrysanthemum.

“...... Yes. "The leader's heart is like a knife.

"Four hundred and one nights for a single person, three hundred and one nights for a horse, and fifty-one nights for a carriage...... 1,950 Wen, a whole number, 2,000 Wen! Thank you for your patronage!"

The leader looked at the shopkeeper with a look in his eyes that could start a fire, but in the end he reached into the money bag and pulled out two pieces of silver.

The broken silver is square, one side is engraved with the words "Kangtong Jida", and the back side of this side is engraved with "one or two pieces of silver". This is a broken piece of silver that the government uniformly measured, one or two pieces of silver.

Angrily knocked two pieces of broken silver on the counter, snatched four rusty keys from the shopkeeper's hand, shoved them into Zhang Jianyun's arms at his side, and strode to the door.

Just as he was about to express his extreme displeasure at spending so much money to Zhao Qingqiu Mo Haoqiong, Zhao Qingqiu patted him on the shoulder, just one sentence, which made his anger fully effect, and his eyes also changed.

"Be careful, there's something weird about this inn. ”
