Chapter 355: Jiang Lang and the Kite
After a long journey of two days and one night, several people finally arrived at Xishan in the evening.
As its name suggests, it is built on a hill with only a winding road up the hill and a cliff on one side.
There is a small stream in the middle of the city, and a hole is dug near the city gate for the stream to flow through, and the stream flows directly to the cliff, forming a small waterfall.
Due to the difficult terrain of Xishan, the residents of this town have little contact with the outside world.
A few people found an inn in the city, but there was only one room left.
The innkeeper: "I don't know why, a lot of people have come to Xishan in the past two days, and now there is only one room left, if you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else." ”
A few people hesitated, but soon a few people walked in outside the door, and it seemed that they were also going to stay in the hotel, so a few people agreed.
Bai Xinfan: "Just one room, how much does it cost?"
The innkeeper did not speak, but buried himself in the book, but he raised one hand and held out two fingers.
Bai Jian smiled and took out his wallet and said, "Two taels are so cheap, I can get out!"
I saw the innkeeper raise his head suddenly, and said arrogantly: "Two hundred taels!"
"What!?" said several people in unison.
Then Bai Jian put away his wallet, not to mention him, even if all the money of several people added up, it was not two hundred taels.
The innkeeper: "I can't live in love, anyway, some people live." ”
After that, the few people who had just entered the door pushed away Bai Jian, and one of them directly took out a large bag of silver taels and threw it on the counter, and said loudly: "Two hundred taels here, we want the room!"
The innkeeper said like a dog: "Hey, Xiao Er~ take a few guest officers to the room!"
Xiaoxiao looked at the innkeeper angrily, and when she was about to teach him a lesson, she was stopped by Ni Tianweak, and then several people walked out of the inn.
"Gong ...... Why do you want to stop me, this store is really too deceitful, wait for Xiaoxiao to destroy this shop!"
Xiaoxiao waved her fists and wanted to run into the store, but several people grabbed her and barely stopped her.
Bai Jian sighed: "Mom, this is a cow!"
Ni Tian is weak: "Don't say Xiaoxiao! Although it does look like a cow ......"
It took a lot of effort, and a few people finally pulled Xiaoxiao away and came to a dilapidated house in the city.
Xiaoxiao sat down against the wall angrily, and the rest of the people also simply swept the ground, planning to make do with it for the night.
After cleaning, Ni Tianwan walked behind Xiaoxiao, touched her head and said, "Xiaoxiao, now the big thing is important, and when the matter is solved, we will destroy this shop!"
After comforting Xiaoxiao for a while, Xiaoxiao was finally coaxed, but at this moment, a little boy broke in.
When the little boy broke in, Bai Jian had just lit a fire, and when he saw so many people in the broken house, he was so frightened that the child's hands shook and the things in his hands fell to the ground.
Several people also looked at the child with a confused expression, and suddenly, several people found that there were already people in the broken house.
A little girl cowered in the corner, still holding a rusty wood knife in her hand.
The little boy outside the door said, "Who are you?"
As he spoke, the little boy walked up to the little girl and opened his hands.
Zhu Qingqing squatted in front of the little boy and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we won't hurt you, we just want to borrow it here for one night, I don't know if it's okay?"
The little boy turned his head slightly sideways and glanced at the little girl, and the little girl saw that Zhu Qingqing was not hostile, so she put down the firewood knife in her hand.
Then the little boy drew a line on the ground and said to the others, "Yes, but you can't cross this line, or don't blame me for being rude!"
With that, the little boy picked up the firewood knife on the ground and put on a vigilant posture.
Several people saw that the firewood knife was rusty, and they didn't dare to step forward to take care of the two children.
But a few seconds later, there was a sudden 'grunting' sound in the little girl's stomach, and then the little girl covered her stomach, looking hungry.
Several people looked at the door and found that the little boy had fallen on the ground with a bowl of broth.
Zhu Qingqing and Bai Jian glanced at each other, and Bai Jian knew what Zhu Qingqing was going to say, so he walked out quickly.
Half an hour later, Bai Jian came back with two baskets of things.
Before Bai Jian could open the basket, several people in the broken house smelled a burst of fragrance.
Bai Jian opened the basket and said, "I walked around the city, and I only bought these foods, so I could barely cushion my stomach." ”
I saw that the basket was full of pastries, and just looking at the appearance was attractive enough.
The men took out all the pastries and laid them on the ground, and the two children in the corner began to drool as they looked at them.
At this time, Zhu Qingqing walked up to the two children, stretched out his hand to the two and said, "Do you want to come and eat with us?"
The little boy was a little resistant at first, but the little girl was too hungry, nodded and grabbed Zhu Qingqing, and the little boy's own stomach also screamed, and he grabbed Zhu Qingqing's hand in embarrassment.
Zhu Qingqing smiled and brought the two children over.
After eating and drinking, Zhu Qingqing looked at the two children and asked, "My name is Zhu Qingqing, what are your names?"
The little girl hid behind the little boy a little timidly, and the little boy said with some caution: "My name is Jiang Lang, and this is my sister Iris." ”
Iris nodded.
Zhu Qingqing saw that the two were still hostile, so he smiled and said, "Jiang Lang and Iris, why do you live here?"
"This has nothing to do with you, don't think that if you give us a little food, you want to be close to us, these foods are our payment for letting you live. ”
With that, Jiang Lang took the kite back to their little corner.
Several people felt a little embarrassed, but for the sake of the two children, they were not angry.
At night, several people were also about to rest, but at this time they found that Jiang Lang and Iris had already slept, Jiang Lang held the iris as a cushion, and wrapped the iris with the thin clothes on his body.
Since Keisan is located on a high mountain, the temperature will be low at night.
Seeing that the two children were trembling, several people glanced at each other, and then took out their thick clothes and spread them on the two of them.
At this time, the kite opened her eyes and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Several people nodded, and they didn't wake up Jiang Lang the whole time.
Afterwards, several people walked out of the dilapidated house and came to the side of the tree.
Bai Xinfan: "Brother Bai, what did you investigate in the past half an hour?"
Bai Jian said with a smile: "Xin Fanguo is really someone who knows me, just now I asked the idle people in the night market, at this time of year, people on the rivers and lakes will gather in Xishan to hold an auction." ”
"Auction!?" Ni Tianqiao said loudly, and then several people covered his mouth.
Bai Jian nodded and said: "Well, I heard that there are everything, swords, guns, swords, halberds, all kinds of cheats, the time is tomorrow night, and the specific location is unknown." ”
They pondered for a moment, then returned to the dilapidated house to sleep.
