Chapter 30: The Valley Village
"This room is nice. Yu Min looked at the room and said to the woman with great satisfaction.
"That's for sure, we have the most luxurious restaurant in Yunzhou City, and you are also a coincidence, there is only such a room left. The woman said with a proud smile.
Yu Min smiled and nodded at her, "That's right," and then seemed to suddenly remember something, "When I came in just now, I saw a friend of my husband go up to the second floor, I don't know which room he is, wait for my husband to come, let him go over and toast." ”
"Before you come up...... Oh, what a coincidence, that master is next door to Qixing, do you want to go over now?"
"No, wait for my husband to come, let's go over together, how many people are in their room?"
"Two. ”
"Okay, you go get busy first," Yu Min smiled at the woman, "I'll wait here, my husband and they will be there soon, and I'll order food when they come." ”
"Okay, I'll go serve you tea. ”
"No need, let's go up later, you can get busy. ”
"Yes!" the woman bowed, exited the room, and closed the door casually.
Yu Min waited for the door to close, and immediately moved to the wall facing the Seven Stars, and she pressed her ears to the wall, hoping to hear some sound.
But to Yu Min's disappointment, she didn't hear anything, she raised her head and looked at the roof, wanting to see if it was possible, but found that it still didn't work.
"That's it, let him go, it has nothing to do with me what he does now, I still have to take care of Hao'er. Yu Min shook her head, and was about to pull the door to leave, she just walked to the door, but she heard the sound of the door opening next door, so she quickly stopped.
When the footsteps were far away, Yu Min immediately walked to the window, opened a gap in the window, and observed the situation below. After a while, Yu Qingxin appeared in her sight, and at this time, a man led two horses to him, handed him the reins of one of the horses, and then the two got on their horses and drove in the direction of the city gate.
"How could he be with those people, could it be that he has been a robber who kills people and exfiltrates goods all these years?" Yu Min was a little surprised, she recognized that the person who had left with Yu Qingxin just now was one of the people who appeared in the mountain village a few days ago, and it was this person who pointed to a few people carrying the corpses of the mountain people. "If he had been a robber, who was the man he saw next door?"
Yu Min decided to stay, she wanted to wait for the person next door to leave, to see what kind of person it was. After a while, the door next door opened again, and Yu Min returned to the window, waiting for the person to appear, but she waited for a long time and didn't see it.
Yu Min opened the door and walked straight to the staircase, the woman who received her just now saw her and immediately greeted her, without waiting for the woman to speak, Yu Min said first: "I'm sorry, my husband hasn't come yet, I'm afraid there is something delayed, I need to take a look, if someone comes, you can give this room to others, I can't delay you to do business"
The woman smiled: "Madame, although you are busy, the room is reserved for you, just now the guests in the room next to you have left, and there is another room." ”
"Really?" Yu Min expressed some regret, "I still thought about waiting for my husband to come and meet his friend, but I didn't expect him to leave so soon." ”
"That man just came to see someone, and he left not long after you arrived in the room. ”
"Do you know who he saw?"
"I don't know about this, the man who came out later was quite mysterious, and left directly through our back door. ”
When Yu Min heard this, he smiled and said, "I'm also curious." Then I'll go, and if I don't come back in half an hour, you won't have to leave me a room. ”
"Okay, you walk slowly, watch out for the steps. ”
Yu Min went downstairs, left Yueyun Restaurant with the farewell of the four beauties at the door, and went back to the inn directly. Although the lack of gain made her feel unwilling, she didn't dare to pursue it rashly, the situation at this time did not allow her to continue to take risks, not to mention that she had been out for so long, she was really worried about Shen Changhao who was alone in the inn.
"What he has become has long had nothing to do with the Shen Mansion, not to mention that the Shen Mansion is no longer there, and he still cares about what he does. ”
Yu Min returned to the inn, Shen Changhao was still practicing the internal strength method, and he was very happy to see Yu Min come back, in fact, Yu Min had been out for so long, and he was also worried.
After breakfast the next day, Yu Min remembered last night's incident again, "If he was with those robbers, did he come to recover last night?" After all, more than ten days have passed, no, I want to investigate, if it is safe, take Hao'er out of here as soon as possible." ”
Yu Min made up his mind, so he borrowed a horse from the shopkeeper, let Shen Changhao stay at the inn, and rode to the mountain village alone.
Last time, she took Shen Changhao and walked for a day and a half, and today she arrived in less than half a day on horseback.
Yu Min dismounted early, hid the horse in the woods, and then approached the mountain village on foot. She walked around to the back of the eastern half of the village, and looked closely at it from a distance.
If that group had withdrawn, there would have been no one in the village at this moment, but at this time, there were not only people in the village, but there were more people than there were back then.
"What are they going to do here? Aren't they just robbing the villagers of this village, but they are also going to occupy this place for a long time and rob people who pass by? If that's the case, wouldn't it be dangerous to pass through here? Shall I take Hao'er on a different route?"
Yu Min was puzzled and entangled, and at this time, three people came from the direction of Yunzhou City, and quickly drove towards the village. When they were about five or six feet away from the village, the three of them stopped.
These three people were Wei Wu, Xue Chen, and Guo Dongming, who left Xingyun Temple early this morning.
Xue Chen looked at the village with a solemn expression, "After this village, there is a long and narrow valley in front of us, if we set up ambushes at both ends of the valley and block us in the valley, and then use the terrain in the valley, then we will be very dangerous." ”
Wei Wudao: "Then this village is very important. ”
Xue Chen replied, "Exactly!"
Wei Wu looked at Xue Chen and Guo Dongming on both sides, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's not go into the valley first, let's go around the village." ”
After speaking, Wei Wu drove his horse straight to the village, followed by Xue Chen and Guo Dongming.
The village is the only place where you can rest before crossing the valley, so the houses in the village are all built along the road, and there are seven or eight households on each side, all of which are engaged in small trade.
The three of them rode their horses and passed directly through the village, but just as they were about to reach the end of the village and enter the valley, with three "hoo~", Wei Wu and the three of them stopped at the same time.
"When you're hungry, get off your horse and eat something before you go. Wei Wu dismounted as he spoke, and then led the horse to a house next to the mouth of the valley, which judging from the signboard outside the store, was a restaurant.
Wei Wu came to the door and shouted into the store, "Is there anyone?"
After a while, with a "coming~", a short and fat man about forty years old ran out of the store. The man was dressed as a mountain man, and although his fat face was full of smiles, he was still a little nervous, "Third master, I'm sorry, the shop has closed." ”
When Xue Chen heard this, he immediately jumped off his horse and said angrily at the man: "Before lunch time is over, you guys will close? What? Are you afraid that your master won't give you money for dinner? Do you think your master looks like a rich man?"
The short and fat man's face was stunned, and he immediately smiled again: "What did the master say, the little one didn't mean that, we opened the door to do business, and we were afraid that you wouldn't give money for dinner?" ”
The corners of Wei Wu's mouth raised slightly, and he said to the short and fat man with a smile: "Everyone closes at night, why are you closing here at this time?"
"This ...... This ......" The short and fat man looked embarrassed, clasped his hands together, rubbing back and forth. "I'll tell you the truth," the man stomped to the ground, then clenched his right hand into his left palm, "I drank two more glasses at dinner last night, and I got drunk if I didn't want to, and I didn't prepare today's ingredients, so I ......"
Wei Wudao: "We won't be entangled if you said this earlier, it's really unreasonable for you to close earlier, since that's the case." Are there any other restaurants in this village besides yours?"
The short and fat man laughed, "We are the only restaurant in the village, but you can cross the valley and go to the village on the other side of the valley to eat, and to tell you the truth, the food there tastes better than ours, and you can ride through the valley in less than an hour." ”
Wei Wudao: "Thank you for the kindness of the store, no need, let's go back to Yunzhou City to eat, in case we get to the village on the other side of the valley, they haven't prepared today's ingredients, won't we still be hungry? ”
After Wei Wu finished speaking, he was about to lead the horse away, the short and fat man frowned, stepped forward, and was about to speak, when at this moment, a voice came from the valley.
