Volume 1 The Beginning of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 4
Seeing that Zhou Ziren had also been on the road for a day and a night, the outline of Jianming Peak was also faintly visible, and the sound of horses overshadowing the hustle and bustle of the city.
I met a few people along the way, but they were all from the other side of the mountain, but no one went to the other side of the mountain. Ziren looked back, there was only sand and dust raised by the horse's hooves behind him, and there was no figure, and his heart suddenly felt a little hairy: It's better to be careful.
However, what made Ziren realize that he was not far from his destination was not the image of the mountains in the distance, but the chill that drifted towards him. Ziren couldn't help but shudder: "This hasn't gone up the mountain yet, it's so cold! If you don't become a god stick, you will become a popsicle first!" Ziren regretted that he didn't bring the goat white jacket that his mother prepared for him, but fortunately he was a little prepared. He took out a rabbit fur cloak from his baggage, tied it, and then nibbled on the rest of the dry food from the baggage.
If the sun goes down and he hasn't found a place to live, he can't resist the cold with all these things now. But no matter how fast Ziren's horse runs, the road ahead is endless at a glance, and he looks back at the vast road behind. Worry and anxiety invaded Ziren's heart along with the cold, and Ziren thought: No, this time you really want to die before you can get out of the school?
I don't know if God has mercy on him, a house suddenly appeared in front of him, Ziren took a closer look: a long flag fluttered next to the house, and several big characters on it were vigorous and powerful - Yixiang Inn.
Hurrying up, Ziren finally came to the inn. This inn is not very large, the wooden door has little paint left, slightly mottled, and the faint musty smell wafting in the face adds a few strokes to the age of this inn, but surprisingly there are quite a few people who settle in this place!
Seeing that there were so many people, Ziren was worried that there would be no guest room, so he rushed in, not wanting to bump into the guy who was about to come out to greet the guests.
"Oops!" Ziren was knocked backwards, but he had a kung fu foundation and stabilized it all of a sudden, but the poor guy was knocked over on his back.
"Is this guest staying in the hotel?" the guy hurriedly got up, and ran to Ziren's side and patted Ziren's clothes.
"Stay, do you still have a room?"
"Yes, yes, how can guests not have what they want?!"
"That'...... That one...... You're bleeding from your nose......"
"Ahh
Seeing this, Ziren also grinned embarrassedly, responded with an embarrassed smile, and then took out some silver from the money bag and said, "I'm really embarrassed...... Take a look at these......"
"Oh, thank you, little master, thank you, little master, little master, please!" the man took the silver and hurriedly thanked him.
Ziren followed the guy upstairs and entered a guest room, the room was not very big, but it was enough to give people a rest.
"If you have any commands, just tell the little ones. ”
"Okay, thank you. ”
The guy walked out of the guest room, Ziren breathed a sigh of relief, threw the burden on the table, and spread it on the bed in large characters. This was the first time he had traveled so far away from home, and although he didn't encounter any obstacles on the way, it still made Ziren tired, and after a few fights on his eyelids, he made a truce. But the noise downstairs still made Ziren unable to sleep, but it was good to close his eyes and recuperate, but who knew that this god was becoming more and more blurred, and after a while, the fugue was too empty.
"Ha......" Ziren woke up, only to feel a sore back, he rubbed his eyes, blinked again, looked at the window, only to find that it was already dark, and then listened carefully, and found that the downstairs was as quiet as a hollow valley. Ziren hurriedly jumped out of bed and went down the stairs.
There are only a few tables and chairs downstairs and there are still people: a girl at the table in the middle is giving medicine to a man with a cough; in the far right corner sits the guy who was knocked down by himself today, he supports his head with one hand, and the other hand hangs down, don't look at him as if he is asleep, he hears the stairs being trampled by Ziren, so he immediately looks up; there is also a table where there is a candle flickering, but no one is there; the boss is knocking on his abacus, and when he sees Ziren coming down, he stops what he is doing, and is about to say hello, and the guy robs Hu:" What does the young master want?"
"Is there anything else I can eat?" Ziren didn't have much appetite, just wanted to hurry up and go back to the room to rest.
"How's the freshly steamed bun?"
"Then come a cage. ”
"Okay, little master, wait a minute, the buns will be here soon!" the man immediately ran to the back kitchen.
"Wait, what time is it?"
"It's time. ”
No wonder everyone is gone, Ziren thought, and found a random table to sit down.
In the entire inn, only the light touch of the abacus and the coughing of the man drinking medicine behind Ziren could be heard.
"Drink this bowl of medicine......
"Thank you for taking such good care of me, but this disease may be ......"
"But you haven't tried!" the girl's tone was reproachful.
Ziren was about to look back at these two people, and the guy came out with a drawer of buns: "Little master, you use it slowly!"
"Thank you. The fatigue of the journey still prevailed over the curiosity, and Ziren made the bun first. The man behind him seemed to have finished the medicine, and the two of them slowly walked up the stairs.
After eating something, Ziren regained some strength, and he beckoned to the guy: "Come here." ”
"What else does the young master want?"
"Actually, it's nothing...... How's your nose?"
"Ah, this little master doesn't have to worry!"
"What's your name?"
"Just call me Amo. Does the young master have any other orders?"
"Ah...... Amo, I want to ask, are all the people in the inn going up the mountain today?"
"Ah~ Part of it is, but in fact, there are many Taoist priests on Jianming Peak, and we are the closest inn to the mountain. Sometimes they come back late and spend the night here, and then go up the mountain in the morning to report on their mission. Actually, some of them are old acquaintances. Does the little young master also want to go to Jianming Peak?"
Ziren nodded. "Then I'll introduce you to the little master tomorrow," Ah Mo leaned over and whispered, "There are a few senior brothers!"
"That's ......," Ziren just spoke.
"Excuse me, do you still have a guest room?"
"Yes!
Ziren looked towards the door: No...... Here?!reunion?!
