Chapter 121: There is a post house
Ding! Didn't stop Ling Ran from killing Zhuge Shi!
Ding! Deduct 10,000 points of sesame merit!
Level: Renshi, 20,000 points of sesame merit, 80,000 points away from the benevolent.
What the!
This......
That's too depressing, isn't it......
That's deducting 10,000 merit points?
Seeing Brother Mingjie showing such a depressed look, Zhuge Hongji was a little worried, thinking that maybe his father's death made him sad, so she didn't say much.
After walking for a long time, seeing that Zhuge Hongji was a little out of breath, Chen Mingjie said gently: "Sister Hongji, I'll carry you." ”
Zhuge Hongji's heart warmed when she heard this, but she shook her head.
Dad said that you have to rely on yourself in everything, how can you bother Brother Mingjie with this little thing.
"Thank you, Brother Mingjie, I'm fine. ”
Chen Mingjie walked up to her, carried her on his back, bent his knees slightly, leaned forward and put his hands back, and said, "Come up." ”
"Hmm. ”
Seeing that the young man took the initiative like this, the girl no longer refused, and leaned on Chen Mingjie's back, feeling warm in her heart.
As the sun set, the mountains buried the last glimmer of light, Chen Mingjie looked at the gradually dim sky, his heart was anxious, and he ran quickly.
Judging from the map, there is still a long way to go before the next town, although it is an official road, but whether you can meet a post station or not depends on luck.
Chen Mingjie was not worried about the exposure of his whereabouts, the person who came to assassinate Zhuge Shi was dead, and the news could not reach the ears of General Long Yin Guohan in a short time.
Chen Mingjie had already buried his body in a remote place, and it would not be so easy to find it.
So even if it did, they didn't know if she was dead or missing.
will not know that Ling Ran was killed by Chen Mingjie, and he also has a daughter.
However, he soon realized that he had done a very wrong thing, which was to bury Zhuge Shi's body in the backyard and set up a plaque.
In this case, the person who came to find Lingran naturally knew that in addition to Zhuge Master, there must be someone who had appeared in Yunmengze.
But now that we have gone far, it is impossible to go back, and it will be dangerous to go back.
Thinking too much, the most important thing at the moment is to find a post house to rest.
Fortunately, the white eye's line of sight could reach a kilometer away, and soon Chen Mingjie found a post house.
When the two of them arrived at the inn, Chen Mingjie was a little disappointed.
The name of the inn is "Youma Post House", which is quite poetic, but it is actually just a small thatched house.
There is no plaque at the inn, just a broken red cloth sail flag, on which are written crookedly, the words "Inn".
Judging by this handwriting, it must have been written by someone who had not read much.
There are only two wooden tables outside the post house, which look extremely old, and the corners of the tables have long been eaten by ants, and they are incomplete.
There were several benches scattered around the wooden table, one of which had been blown over by the wind.
It seems that the owner of this inn is really lazy to get home, although this kind of wilderness things will not be stolen, but judging from the dust on the tables and chairs, the owner of the inn has almost cleaned up.
There was a wizened old cow tied to the old tree next to the post house, and there were several acres of barren land behind it.
Anyway, it's already nice to have a post house to live in, where can you care about this.
There is candlelight in the inn, and it seems that the owner of this house has not rested.
knocked on the door and explained the intention, but the owner of the inn readily agreed to their request to stay overnight.
It's just that the post house only sells refreshments, and there is no extra room, only a firewood room with old things.
At this point, there is no choice.
"I'm going to wronged Sister Hongji. ”
"It doesn't matter," Honghime shook her head sensibly.
The owner of the inn was a thin man, about thirty years old, with small triangular eyes, and his clothes looked like they had not been washed for a long time, giving off an unpleasant smell.
The house was poorly furnished, with a wooden table, two wooden chairs, a water tank, a wooden cabinet, two wooden beds, and a few farm tools piled up in the corner.
Behind him there was an old man who looked like his father.
The old man only said hello to the guest and stopped talking.
Chen Mingjie gave the man a few taels of silver, and the man's eyes shone slightly, but they quickly dimmed.
After taking the two to the firewood room, the man left.
Chen Mingjie saw the different color in the man's eyes, thinking that he hadn't seen silver for a long time.
It stands to reason that he stayed in a bowl of accommodation, and slept in a firewood room, and received so much silver, he should have more services, and the person who received the silver not only did not shirk his gratitude, but also did not even have basic services.
Why do you say that, because the firewood room is very messy.
Seeing the appearance of the man's thief's eyebrows, he felt that it was better to pay more attention.
But now is not the time to think about this little thing, and it is the right thing to quickly create a dry place to rest.
Zhuge Hongji has lived in the mountains with her father since she was a child, and she is more neat than Chen Mingjie in doing these things.
It's just that it's also a thatched house, and the thatched house here is very different from Yunmengze's.
If the thatched house is compared to a star-rated hotel, the "Youjian Inn" should not even be a one-star hotel, and the thatched house in Yunmengze is at least four-star.
Although Zhuge Shi is hidden in the mountains, as the former prime minister of Chen State, his requirements for residence are naturally much higher.
The thatched houses with blue bricks and blue tiles, the well-trimmed grass, the square and solid fence walls, and the flowers and plants planted outside the house all reflect the elegance of the owner.
Candles were lit, a dry place was sorted out, straw was spread, and the whole firewood room looked warm and comfortable.
Zhuge Hongji may have never traveled long distances, so she looked very tired, leaned against the corner, and fell asleep after a while.
Chen Mingjie was not too tired, he sat on the side and meditated, planning to sleep again after a while.
Because of the tailwind, Chen Mingjie soon heard some shocking words.
After opening his eyes, he saw the two people sitting at the square wooden table in the post house and talking.
"Son, are we lucky today, the guest gave so much silver!" said the old man slowly after taking a sip of tea.
"Isn't it," the man played with the silver in his hand and said with a smile, "Look at that kid's outfit, he should be a rich man." ”
"You can't snub people. ”
"Yes, yes. The man replied casually.
"With these five taels of silver, we can exchange them for a cow. The old man said, "There are also hoes for cultivating the land that are broken, so you can go to the market and buy one tomorrow." ”
As if he hadn't heard, the man smiled evilly, "Dad, we don't need to change cows, and we don't need to go to the market to buy hoes." ”
The old man squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was asleep, and said, "Boy, don't use any crooked brains." ”
"Dad, don't you want to have a daughter-in-law to pass on your ancestry?"
After saying this, the man glanced out the window at the firewood room, and there was a deep desire in his eyes.
