Chapter 13: Lingdou (II)
I don't know how long it took, Yu Huashui felt that the horse was no longer running, so he dared to open his eyes, his heart was still beating violently, and he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and another question arose: "Where did I come to the horse?"
Raise your eyes and see, two miles ahead is a county seat, the boundary monument bluestone next to the road is engraved with the words "Shushui Yang", busy open the map, make sure that the route is right, then settle down, otherwise it will be a waste of time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was already dark, and it was dark in just over an hour, and Yu Huashui suddenly felt hungry and decided to fill his belly before entering the city, because the route marked on the drawings passed through the city, and besides, there was no other bypass. Reaching out to take the salute package, he found that the slipknot had opened a corner, and he knew that it was not good, and hurriedly opened the package to see that there was any food? It had already been bumpy and spilled on the road, and he did not give up and turned the package over and over, and the only thing left was a piece of broken silver, fortunately it was caught in the corner of the crumpled cloth, otherwise it would have already fallen.
What is the use of complaining about suffering? The plan for the moment is to enter the city first, and then talk about it, anyway, we will not be able to rush to the "Hongze Lake" before dark, and we will spend the night with this piece of broken silver! Because of hunger, we have left those "four days" behind.
When I arrived at "Shuyang City", I looked for a place called "Yu Ji Inn" to settle down.
The guy greeted the door and said politely: "Guest officer, please inside!" led the horse and sent it to the stable on the right.
Yu Huashui walked to the counter, put down the piece of broken silver, and said, "Shopkeeper, I will stay with you for a night and leave tomorrow morning." "I don't know if the silver is enough, so I'm embarrassed to ask.
The shopkeeper has a beard, experienced and mature in business, weighed the broken silver, and said: "Guest officer, the silver is not enough!"
"Then can you make it easier and be lenient?" asked Yu Huashui expectantly.
After the shopkeeper calculated the plan, he said: "One night and three meals, a total of one or two or two Wen, plus the horses are fed according to the reason, at least three or six Wen, I also charge the lowest price, you are less than one or two pieces of broken silver, and I hope to add some more silver taels, not to make some profits, but not to lose money." ”
"It's so expensive, why is the horse's food and lodging twice as much as that of the owner?" Yu Huashui's eyes widened, thinking that he wanted to "black" himself.
The shopkeeper said calmly: "Guest officer, only by taking care of the mount, it can carry you far away, if you only want to be fed and comfortable, and let the horses be hungry and tired, how can you travel far away?"
Yu Huashui blinked his eyelids, what he said was reasonable, and begged: "Hey, shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I really don't have any other silver on me, so it's convenient, will I take it?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and refused, no one wanted to do a loss-making business, "Guest officer, this stack does not give credit, nor does it give alms to reduce prices, you better find another place to live!"
Yu Huashui hung his head and regretted that he couldn't see the salute well, but the first time he rode a horse, his head was a little dizzy, frightened and scared, and he couldn't blame himself for lying on the back of the horse and not being able to take care of other things. Now there is no silver taels for food and lodging, it seems that the only way to find a place to sleep out for a night is to solve the problem before it gets dark!
"Shopkeeper, is this enough?" a young girl "snapped" and slapped an ingots on the counter, "Two first-class rooms, three good meals!"
"It's you, why are you ......?" Yu Huashui raised his eyes when he heard the voice, shocked and excited.
"Enough, enough!" the shopkeeper smiled and put away the silver, and hurriedly instructed the shopkeeper to prepare the guest room and meal.
"Of course it's me!" Dongfang Minhan walked to the table and sat down, and said: "Senior brother's life is on the verge of death, I also want to do my best to find the elixir cardamom to save Senior Brother, so, I guessed that you will pass through the sun of Shushui, so I came here to wait for you, but I didn't expect you, it took so long to come, I thought I didn't pay attention to miss you, but fortunately I met you!"
She was dressed in civilian clothes and left the faction without permission, of course, she couldn't reveal her identity, so as not to cause trouble, which can still be imagined.
Yu Huashui then sat down and said, "It's very dangerous to go this way, if you have anything in case, then how should I explain when I go back?" Minhan junior sister, I suggest that you don't go, go back quickly, so as not to worry about you." ”
Dongfang Minhan turned from joy to anger and said: "Why are you like Master, you always don't let me do a task?" Tell you, this time is an exception, Master sent me to help you, don't worry, don't ask more, I promise not to cause trouble, I can take care of myself, but you, I'm worried, can I resolve the danger! But don't worry, with me, all demons and monsters will retreat, and dare not touch a single hair of us!"
Yu Huashui knew that she must have sneaked away, because there was a flaw in the first sentence, of course, she also knew that she was bluffing and boasting, with her skills, she could deal with a few gangsters, as for the demons and monsters, there was no need to talk about it, otherwise the head and the four elders would not protect her like that. If it's not good to expose it in person, I won't say much. The meal has been served, so let's get rid of the hunger first!
Dongfang Minhan learned from the senior brother who was guarding the door of the room that the senior brother had an accident, and he couldn't stop and wanted to take a look at the senior brother, so he used a trick to deceive the senior brother guarding the door, opened the barrier charm, and slipped out of the room. Dodging for about half an hour, without being noticed by anyone in the faction, when passing through the "Xianlong Palace", I happened to hear Changmei and the four elders talking to Yu Huashui, and secretly decided to take the first step and meet Yu Huashui halfway.
Dongfang Minhan said again: "You call me Minhan junior sister? Heh, I love to listen to it! Brother Yu, now that the time is halfway through, it will be dark in more than an hour, anyway, it's not good to rush overnight, let's go around the city." We will leave early tomorrow and will definitely arrive at Hongze Lake before dark. ”
Yu Huashui did not enter the disciple of the "Xianlong Sword Sect", so it was more appropriate to call her "little junior sister" according to Yu Pengcheng and add her name. Dongfang Minhan heard him call himself like this, and he felt joy in his heart.
At this time, the girl at the table next to her interjected: "The two of you are going to Hongze Lake, and I happen to be going there to do something, can you go with the two of you?
Dongfang Minhan heard that someone was on the same road, so he didn't think much about agreeing.
Yu Huashui saw that the girl looked charming, dressed in red, and smelled an unknown aroma, so he hurriedly stopped Dongfang Minhan from speaking, and said first: "Girl, you are traveling alone for a long time, why? and for what?"
I don't know her, but I have to go all the way, who knows if it's a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, and I don't have a good heart! The heart of defense is indispensable, and it is better to resign and feel at ease! Yu Huashui has no memories of the past in his mind, but his vigilance is stronger than anyone else.
Without waiting to speak again, the girl let out a crisp and eye-catching voice, containing a hint of anger, and said: "One person, I just want to go all the way, and there is no malice, little brother, are you worried that I am not good? ”
"That's right, let's go together!" Dongfang Minhan said first, since someone is familiar with the environment, wouldn't it be a good thing to follow along the way, and it can also save a lot of time to find.
Yu Huashui felt that she had ulterior motives, and said anxiously: "No, we don't know each other, it's inconvenient along the way, the girl can find the path, and she doesn't need to walk with us, right?"
Seeing a group of people coming in at the door, the girl's eyes shifted to the heavy cloth bag on the back of the leader, her eyes moved, and it was only when the dozen or so people walked upstairs that she turned her face and continued: "Of course you don't need to, now this girl feels that walking with the two of you is a burden!"
After that, I went to the counter and checked out and left.
"Hey, hey, don't go......" Dongfang Minhan shouted twice, and when he saw that the person had walked out of the threshold, he said unhappily: "Look at you, people are kind and don't appreciate it, forget it, and drive them away!"
Yu Huashui explained: "Little junior sister Minhan, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and we don't know her origin, go with her, if something goes wrong on the way, then what should we do? Even if the journey is smooth, find the deceased cardamom, and she snatches or steals it, then how to save your senior brother? Listen to me, be careful, there will be no harm, in fact, I also want to have a lot of people, I can be brave and not afraid, but for the unpredictable four words of people's hearts, it is better to be afraid than to be framed." ”
Knowing that he was thinking about the senior brother, Dongfang Minhan smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, let's go, go shopping!" ......
