Chapter 25 Cleansing the Wind and Sand and Spring Now There is a secret story of an inn
The wasteland is desolate, and the spring equinox is not excessive. The two of them traveled for several days, and all they encountered was the vast wasteland, and the rolling sand that sometimes rose. Although the cultivators can go without food or drink for several days, they are already discouraged by walking through the wind and sand all day long, and they don't know how much sand and soil are hidden in their clothes. If you can take a bath comfortably, it will be a heavenly treat.
It was almost dusk, and Xinchen finally saw a flagpole next to the official road through the wind and sand, and a huge and incomparable guise on it was waving in the wind, and there were four big characters in an inn in my mind. When the two of them saw Ganlin, they hurried towards the inn.
As soon as he entered the inn, Xinchen went straight to the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, please open two guest rooms, and then get some hot water, it's tiring." ”
The shopkeeper had a difficult look on his face and said: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, I don't know how to get it recently, there are a lot of visitors, and there is only one left, you see..."
Xinchen looked at Li Miao, only to see that her face was slightly red, and said softly: "Childe, I'm afraid it's difficult to find other inns within a hundred miles of this area, so let's deal with it." Xinchen then booked a room with the store, and the two went upstairs.
It was a deserted place, and the furnishings were very shabby, except for a couch and a dilapidated wooden barrel. It seems that the store has thought about it quite well, and it has been ravaged by the wind and sand for a long time, who doesn't want to take a good bath! Xinchen opened the door and took the hot water and put it next to the wooden barrel, and said, "Miao'er, I'll go out for a walk." After saying that, he opened the door and walked out of the room, turned around and closed the door.
This is a strange place after all, and Xinchen did not go far, but stayed outside the door. After a while, there was a small sound in the room, it should be Li Miao bathing. Suddenly, there was a splash of water in the room, followed by a crisp "pop", followed by a heavy object falling to the ground. Xinchen was anxious for a while, and hurriedly broke in, but saw Li Miao naked, leaning on the wooden barrel upright.
Seeing that Li Miao was fine, Xinchen hurriedly covered his face and wanted to quit, but heard Li Miao say shyly: "Son, please help me close the back window." Xinchen noticed that the back window of the guest room had somehow been opened, and a cold wind was pouring in, so he walked quickly to the window and stretched out his hand to close the window. Then, bypassing the barrel, he went out of the room again.
After another moment, Li Miao's voice came out through the door: "Childe, please come in." ”
Xinchen paused, pushed the door and entered the guest room, and saw that Li Miao had already changed his clothes, but the green silk was still a little wet on his back, soaking his clothes a little transparent, like snow and his skin loomed. Xinchen's gaze touched and left, and asked, "Was it okay just now?"
Li Miao didn't seem to see Xinchen's slightly strange gaze just now, and said softly: "Thank you for your care, there is a thief peeping out of the back window, and I have dealt with it." Then he looked his heart up and down, and said, "Childe, do you want to wash up too?"
Xinchen responded, still a little dazed, but saw that Li Miao had walked out of the guest room, leaving only one sentence: "Son, remember to close the back window!"
The water in the barrel was still warm, and there was a faint smell of it. It is not easy to get water from the inn, and the hot water sent is only enough for one person. So, Xinchen undressed and sat down in the barrel. The strange fragrance continued to penetrate into the nostrils, and the beautiful thoughts were extinguished and reborn, and the dust of the heart was washed indiscriminately, and then he got up and changed his clothes. Gently pushed open the door, it turned out that Li Miao was still outside the door.
"Miao'er, let's go down and have something to eat. Xinchen closed the door and walked downstairs. Li Miao replied and followed behind.
The two ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles and found an empty table to eat. Suddenly, the door of the inn was pushed open with great force, and three fierce swordsmen appeared at the door. The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him with a smile and said, "Three guest officers, please inside, please inside!"
In the face of the store's hospitality, the three of them were unmoved. The first person glanced around and said coldly: "Two catties of beef, three jars of good wine, come up quickly." Uncle, I'm full and I'm still in a hurry, I missed a big thing, be careful of your heads. ”
The shopkeeper exclaimed, "Come on!" and trotted all the way to the back kitchen to prepare food and drinks. The three of them walked into the inn, found a secluded table and sat down, each picked up a knife bag and leaned against the corner, and said nothing like a clay statue of a bodhisattva.
Xinchen had finished eating, and glanced at the three of them curiously. I saw that the head of the person had a slight shock in his abdomen, and he looked at the other two, and after a while, the other person was in the same situation, and it turned out that these three people were talking in ventriloquism. The spiritual consciousness of the heart is far beyond ordinary people, and if you pay a little attention, you will know what they are talking about.
It is said that there is a wasteland in the north of Youzhou, which is said to have been a vast sea 10,000 years ago, and then suddenly dried up, and the locals call it the Dead Sea. Recently, the Dead Sea, which has been silent for thousands of years, suddenly shines at night, and it is rumored that there is a fairy Ze in the world. So the nearby factions sent people one after another, which is also the reason why the inn has been full recently.
Xinchen is not these ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally doesn't believe in any immortal theory. But the Dead Sea changed for no reason, and it coincided with the shepherd's journey north, so there may be some unknown connection between the two. Thinking of this, Xinchen glanced at Li Miao secretly, got up and walked to the upstairs guest room.
