Chapter 8 A Room
(Today's fourth watch, strive for another watch, is to try not to get too hopeful)
Su Changan's knife came very suddenly.
So much so that Qingluan on the side couldn't help frowning, she knew Su Changan's heart very well, and it was not too much to say that she was kind and almost naΓ―ve.
But recently, he had to kill again and again, and she couldn't help but be a little worried about whether it was the divine blood that had begun to affect his heart.
Su Changan shook the blade of the knife, Xiahou's blood is not a famous sword in the world, and the blood stains on it fell at that time, and the entire blade became bright and transparent again. He put the long knife back into the sheath, and when he looked back and saw Qingluan's slightly frowning brow, he knew what she was thinking.
He smiled at her with relief, and said in a cold voice, "Just thinking about you at him is enough to make him die a hundred times." β
Qingluan was stunned when she heard this, although Su Changan's words were full of murderous intent, but they inexplicably warmed her heart, and she didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked another question: "What are you going to do now?" Not to mention whether these deserters will cause some unnecessary trouble, just because the smell of blood in this temple is so solemn that it will never live anymore.
Su Changan thought about it when he heard this, he put the long knife back into its sheath, and rummaged through these dead corpses for a while.
I have to say that the life of these soldiers is indeed not very easy, more than ten corpses, he rummaged for a long time, and only then did he turn out a total of more than ten taels of silver. It can be seen that this Great Wei is now harsh to the border soldiers, and it is no wonder that they are unwilling to work for the Great Wei.
However, Su Changan couldn't sympathize with this group of people at the moment.
Many of the people he cares about have left him, he can't protect so many people, all he wants to do now is to protect those he cares about, and anyone who dares to touch this bottom line, he will not hesitate to raise the sword in his hand and divide one into two.
He weighed the silver taels in his hand, put them in a purse and carried them into his arms.
He and Qingluan don't have much entanglement, but a hundred taels, if there is no major event along the way, the money is more than enough to go to Xiliang, but his current injury still needs to be treated, and he can't tell how many silver taels are needed, so it's always good to have more.
"Let's eat first. There is a town forty miles west of here, and we will leave there after eating, and if we can find a doctor, we will stay for a little more time to regulate my body, and if not, we will go to Xijiang City, where there should be a decent doctor. β
Su Changan said, and went outside the house to bring in the two chickens and rabbits that he had just thrown away.
Qingluan nodded very obediently, went around to pick up some firewood, and Su Changan also took out a dagger that he had just turned out from the deserters, and began to skin and dirt the two chickens and rabbits.
These days, he has been doing such things with the Xiahou blood left to him by Chu Xifeng, not to mention it, using a knife that Jiangdong swordsmen regard as treasures, and a knife that has killed two stars, dares to do such a thing, which always makes Su Changan feel a little guilty. The dagger that had been flipped from the deserter came in handy at this moment.
After he had skinned the two wild creatures, he washed them with clean water from the old well of the Taoist temple. Qingluan also walked back with a bunch of dead branches.
Su Changan frowned, feeling that the smell of blood from the corpses in the house was too strong, he thought about it and said, "Go outside the house." β
Qingluan naturally had no objections, and took the firewood out again.
Cooking has always been a very difficult problem for Su Changan and Qingluan.
Needless to say, Qingluan has no problem not eating for a long time as a star, so naturally she doesn't know anything about it.
Although Su Changan used to be in Changmen, because he had a drunkard father, he had to often support himself, and it was not difficult for him to test some wild things, but now in this wilderness, there are wild rabbits and pheasants, but there are no condiments, and it is really difficult to make something delicious.
Although Qingluan never complained about this, even every time Su Changan asked her how it tasted, the former undertaker would always smile sweetly, and then say playfully: "It's delicious." β
Su Changan felt that it must be a lie, because he had already begun to get tired of eating.
Sometimes he would wonder why the heroes in the book could always roast a peerless delicacy by catching any pheasant or hare in the wilderness, and some of them could even make a beautiful girl secretly agree.
Every time he thinks of this, Su Changan feels a little frustrated, and secretly says that he really can't become a hero in the book.
After lunch, Su Changan and Qingluan were ready to leave, before leaving, Su Changan thought about it, and found a fairly clean dress from those dead corpses, put the sword on his back in it, wrapped it tightly and carried it on his back, and then found a sword to straddle his waist.
His two knives and that sword box are really too famous, and they are too ostentatious, and they will not be recognized by some well-intentioned people, so Su Changan feels that it is better to hide them safely.
The distance of forty miles is not too far for the two of them, even if the current Qingluan cultivator has fallen into the Gathering Spirit Realm, but the two of them have only walked for an hour to arrive at the town that Su Changan found in the morning.
This town is called Linyang Town, which is a small town less than 300 miles away from Chang'an.
The permanent population of the town is not large, but because there are merchant dart teams that travel back and forth between Xiliang and Chang'an from time to time to rest here, there are many inns and restaurants inside.
It is not uncommon for Su Changan and Qingluan to be equipped with swords, but Qingluan's appearance is indeed too outstanding, and it is inevitable that they will be pointed at by pedestrians.
Fortunately, Qingluan also quickly realized this, and after pulling Su Changan to buy a white veil at the street market, the riot was calmed down.
At this moment, the time had passed, and the two of them did not delay any longer, so they found an inn, prepared to book a room, and then went to the town tomorrow to see if there was a famous doctor who could treat Su Chang'an's internal injuries.
In order not to be obtrusive, and in order to save entanglement, the inn that the two are looking for is also a very ordinary inn.
It's just, but I don't want it to go wrong.
"Two guest officers, it's the road, do you want to stay in the shop?"
After all, now that the spring solstice is over, many merchants and dart teams have not yet started to do business, and Xiliang has been in an emergency recently, so the business of their inns is also quite deserted, and finally there is business to come to the door, how can he not be enthusiastic.
"Stay. Su Changan replied.
"Alas. Holo. The boss nodded with a smile, looked back and forth between the two of them, and asked, "I wonder if you two have one room or two rooms?"
He looked at the dress of Su Changan and Qingluan, and felt that these two should be disciples who came out of some mountain gates to practice, and although they did not have deliberate intimacy when they walked, the distance between them was much closer than that of ordinary men and women.
With his years of experience in observing words and feelings, he knows that the relationship between these two will not be as simple as ordinary brothers and sisters. That's why there is such a question.
When Su Changan heard this, his face was not only red, but he probably understood the meaning of the boss's words, and he just wanted to say something, but Qingluan, who wanted to speak silently on the side, grabbed a few copper coins in front of him and said, "One room." β
