Yi Dan and the two led their more beloved horses, reluctant to ride, and led them all the way to the town in front. At the entrance of the town, he met a soldier guarding the gate blocking the way, and after a detailed investigation, after confirming that Yi Dan and the others were not spies of the enemy country in the south, he hurriedly said: "Okay, no problem, you can leave." But I remind you that this is a time of preparation for war and a curfew has been imposed. Don't go around. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you. ”

Yi Dan said: "Thank you little brother for reminding us, we are just in a hurry, and we won't run around." Oh, by the way, where is the inn near here? You see it's getting late, we have to find a place to spend the night."

The soldier pointed to the street ahead and said, "There is an inn in the town, go and stay there." ”

Yi Dan said: "Thank you little brother for showing the way, then we will leave!"

Sure enough, after a while, the two saw a house in the town called: "Bingui Inn".

At the gate of the inn, a middle-aged man with a beard and a wealthy body hurriedly ran over to greet him and said, "Yo, two guest officers, are you here to stay at the hotel?"

Youming said: "Yes, may I ask the shopkeeper, do you still have a vacant room here?"

After the shopkeeper looked at Yi Dan and the others, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Ouch, two, what a coincidence, there is just one room left, do you want to live there?"

Youming said with some embarrassment: "We need two, is there another one?"

The shopkeeper said, "I'm sorry for the two of you, the rooms are full today." Recently, our Jiedu envoys are preparing for the war with Champa, and the inns along the way have been requisitioned. I'm the only one left in business, or the two of you will settle for it?"

Yi Dan said: "Okay, one by one, it's a big deal that I sleep on the ground, it's better than feeding mosquitoes outside?"

The shopkeeper said with a happy face: "There is a room in Haolat, please go upstairs for the two of you." It's full, it's closed. With that, he turned around and went to fetch the last set of keys on the board and handed it to Youming.

"The leftmost one upstairs is it," said the shopkeeper.

Youming took the key and asked, "Thank you!

The shopkeeper looked at the horses in the courtyard outside and said, "Oh, there is a stable on the right side of the backyard, so you can tie it there." However, the man who fed the horses was requisitioned to feed the war horses, so please feed the horses yourself, and the forage is in the shed on the far left. ”

Youming said: "Okay, no problem, thank you shopkeeper." Excuse me, shopkeeper, do you have anything to eat here?"

The shopkeeper said: "Ouch, it's too late now, there should only be somen noodles on the stove, do you want them?"

Youming took out some broken silver and handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "If you are troublesome to the shopkeeper, send us to the room." ”

The shopkeeper took the money and said, "Hao Lak, please go upstairs and wait for a while, the noodles will be delivered in a while." ”

At this time, Yi Dan asked the shopkeeper by the way: "Shopkeeper, can I ask you about something." ”

"Girl, the old man is just an innkeeper, if you want to ask about military secrets, then please forgive the old man for the crime of ignorance. The innkeeper replied cautiously.

"Don't get me wrong, shopkeeper, we're just ordinary passers-by. I just want to know, how far is Changqing Mountain in Suizhou from here?"

The shopkeeper said: "Oh, Changqing Mountain, go north from here, about a hundred miles, and then go west about thirty miles, and it will be Changqing Mountain." ”

Yi Dan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you two must have come from the eastern sea, right?"

Yi Dan asked: "Yes, how do you know?"

The shopkeeper said: "I see that you are going north, but you are not familiar with the road at all, so you can guess it at a glance." But I want to remind you that now that our Jiedu envoys are preparing to fight with the Champa in the south, and there are troops passing through the north and south along the way, so you should pay attention to your safety. ”

Yi Dan said: "Okay, thank you for the reminder, we will be careful." ”

When they came to the room, the two put down their burdens, and the two of them ate the somen noodles sent by the shopkeeper, feeling very satisfied. Youming lay on the bed excitedly and said, "Great, I finally have a place to sleep tonight." ”

"Senior brother, are you tired?" Yi Dan asked.

"I'm okay, senior sister, are you tired?" Youming asked rhetorically.

Yi Dan nodded: "Well, it seems that there is a little, I have never been on such a long boat, I am not very tired, but I feel a little dizzy." Maybe you haven't slowed down yet. ”

"Well, since you're tired, senior sister, let's rest early. Youming said.

"How are we going to sleep tonight?" Yi Dan asked suspiciously.

Youming said: "This short answer, I'll sleep on the ground." Sleeping on the floor is cool and comfortable. I can't wait for that. ”

Yi Dan said: "Then how can it be done, you still sleep on the bed, I sleep on the ground." ”

Youming smiled and said, "Senior sister, the climate in the south is hot, and you don't even need a quilt to sleep." Isn't there only one plank on this bed, and it's different from sleeping on the floor?"

Yi Dan looked at the bed, and sure enough, there was only a wooden board and a pillow, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then let's rest early, and try to rush to Changqing Mountain tomorrow." ”

"Okay" Youming lay on the ground, staring at Yi Dan without closing his eyes.

"Why don't you close your eyes yet?" Yi Dan asked.

You Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior sister, I think that at the beginning, when we first came out, you had to ask for one person in one room. Nowadays, I don't care much about these red tapes. ”

Yi Dan said: "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, we only have this condition now, so we can only point it." Besides, who are you? I am the most trusted junior brother, just like my own brother, of course I can share a room with you. ”

Youming said with a little loss: "My brother, okay, but I think it's the happiest thing in the world to be able to wander the rivers and lakes with my senior sister." ”

Yi Dan said: "You are still happy, I am tired to death, I will sleep first, you should rest early." With that, Yi Dan took off his white gauze robe, lay down on the bed with only a large plank, and gently closed his eyes and slept.

"Oops" At this time, Youming suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" Yi Dan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and asked.

Youming got up from the ground and said, "I only cared about eating for myself just now, and I forgot to feed the horse, I will go down to feed the horse now, senior sister, you can rest first." I'll be back after feeding the horses in a moment. ”

Yi Dan said: "Okay, I'll work hard for you, junior brother, come up early and rest after feeding." ”

"Good Ratcha. With that, Youming opened the door and gently retreated.

Under the starry night, Youming came to the stable, picked up a bundle of grass and threw it into the manger. Seeing the two horses eating with relish, Youming said to the horses: "Horses, eat more, you have been running around and shaking for a day, and you haven't eaten yet, it's really hard for you." As he spoke, Youming touched the head of the horse that was grazing with his hand, and watched the horses eat so deliciously, Youming looked at them stupidly and accompanied them. He sat at the stable and looked at the stars in the sky, and said to himself: "It's a good day like this, I really hope that I can always be like this, and follow my sister to wander the rivers and lakes." Do you want to do the same?" he said, asking the grazing horses.

The horse drank the water in the trough and panted, as if in response to Youming's words. Youming looked at the horse and said, "Have you eaten enough?" The horse gasped again, and Youming seemed to understand what it said, so he replied, "You ask me, I'll wait until my sister falls asleep before I go back, otherwise I'll wake her up again." She must have been tired after a day of rocking in a boat. Youming sat next to the stable, holding a weed in his mouth, looking at the stars in the sky, sleepy and tired, he unconsciously fell asleep, and still had a silly smile on his face.
