Chapter 113: Men disguised as women
Ah Xiu looked at the restaurant that was getting closer and closer to him, and said with a wry smile to the carriage behind him: "Xue Rou, as the saying goes: Wangshan runs a dead horse." [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] Novel www.wxs520.om I see that this hotel is about the same, just now I saw that it was not far away, but we have run for a stick of incense or less than the time, hey......"
Luo Xuerou smiled in the carriage and said, "Master Lin, you can go out and walk more if you have time, and you can grow a lot of knowledge." ”
"That's just as well. Ashu replied.
By the time they reached the tavern's door, it was already dark, and the moon hung in the east, crooked, sometimes obscured by clouds, and a little dim.
There are two big red lanterns hanging at the door of the tavern, and a flag fluttering on one side, the flag swaying in the breeze, but the words on it can still be recognized: Guanglin Tavern.
Ah Xiu got out of the car and went to knock on the door, and after a while, a beautiful woman in her thirties opened the door, and when she saw Ah Xiu's appearance, she was stunned at first, and then quickly greeted her with a smile: "Hey, this guest officer, how many?"
"We're two people, and there's a carriage, so do me a favor and lead it to the stable. Ah Xiu said and returned to the carriage to help Luo Xuerou down, at this time, the woman shouted inside: "Xiaolin, come out and help lead the carriage to the backyard stable, be quick." As soon as she finished speaking, a young man who was less than twenty years old and seemed to be very clever ran out, took the reins from Ah Xiu's hand, and led the horse to the backyard.
And Ah Xiu and Luo Xuerou entered the tavern together, at this time Luo Xuerou was dressed in a pale yellow dress, wearing a veil on her head, looking noble and mysterious, and walking with Ah Xiu, who was nondescript, was very attention-grabbing, but the woman didn't seem to be weird, this is also, this is located at the junction of the Principality of Weinan and the Principality of Lanqing, and there are many strange people, so they are used to it.
Ah Xiu noticed that this tavern didn't look very good on the outside, but it was really small inside, but the tables, chairs and benches looked a little shabby, and the walls were also dark, as if they hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
"There are few people here today, and the two of them are still the first wave of guests. The woman smiled and led Ah Xiu and Luo Xuerou to a spacious seat to sit down.
"What do you call it?" Ashu asked.
"My surname is Ye, and I'm the proprietress of this tavern, what do you want to eat?"
"There's something good to eat, just take it. Ah Xiu said.
"Hey, it's really a coincidence that this guest master came, I can't put the meat on this hot day, and I don't have much stock, but today Xiao Lin just went to hunt some game and came back, so you might as well try it." The proprietress said.
"Okay, just do as you say, we don't drink, just make a pot of tea, and as for what you eat, you can serve it." Ah Xiu said.
"Okay, you two wait. The proprietress said and went.
"Master Lin, thank you for your help along the way. Luo Xuerou under the veil said softly.
Ah Xiu smiled: "What else is there to say, you are now my employer, I naturally have to protect you, otherwise what if you don't pay the money in the end?"
Although Luo Xuerou knew that Ah Xiu was joking, she still lowered her head and muttered, "Is it just as simple as an employer?" Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and she didn't know if Ah Xiu could hear it.
There was not much time, the proprietress came over with a few things to eat, and put the dishes on the table while introducing, Ah Xiu looked at it, most of them were green vegetables, but there was a pheasant and half a red hare that was very tempting, which made Xiu can't help but move his appetite.
The proprietress said "use it slowly" and went to get busy, leaving the two of them to eat happily, Luo Xuerou tasted it, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "This food is a little rough." ”
Ah Xiu didn't care so much, he couldn't taste it, he devoured it directly, spitting at the mouth, hearing Luo Xuerou's words, Ah Xiu said while chewing a large piece of rabbit meat: "This is the border of the Principality of Ulnan, it's good to be able to eat this, naturally it's not as exquisite as the food in your City Lord's Mansion." ”
Luo Xuerou was helpless, so she had to bite the bullet and eat, her appetite was very small, and she was full in a short time, and then she put down the dishes and chopsticks, and quietly looked at Ah Xiu, who was sweeping the table full of food like a whirlwind, and felt a little funny and a little admired.
At this time, a rapid knock sounded, the proprietress hurriedly went to open the door, and saw a man dressed in black standing at the door, he was wearing a hat on his head, and there was a circle of black yarn around the hat, covering the whole face. But she only hesitated for a moment before she said enthusiastically: "This guest officer, please come in, what do you want to eat?"
The man whispered, "A bowl of somen noodles, nothing else,"
The proprietress hummed and went to the kitchen, and the man went to a small table in the corner and sat down, and laid the sword in his hand on the table, while the burden was still on his back.
Since this person came in, it attracted Ah Xiu's attention, and he listened to this person's tone of voice a little unnatural, as if he was deliberately suppressed, which is nothing, but Ah Xiu accidentally saw this person's neck, but found that there was no Adam's apple on her snow-white pink neck, so he concluded that this person must be a woman disguised as a man.
It's not that Ah Xiu is too troublesome, it's just that his current identity is a dart head, and ensuring the safety of his employer is the first priority, so he needs to watch out for any suspicious people around him.
By the time the man's noodles came up, Ah Xiu had already eaten enough, he patted his stomach and shouted to the proprietress, "Boss, do you have a guest room here? ”
"Okay, you two, please come with me. As she spoke, the proprietress took Ah Xiu and Luo Xuerou up to the second floor and arranged two upper rooms.
Looking at the upper room in front of him, Ah Xiu was somewhat dumbfounded, this room was not only dimly lit, but also flooded with a dampness, the uneven loess wall made people a little uncomfortable at first glance, and the bed was not exquisite, it was simply a pile of weeds with a black sheet spread on it, and the sheets and quilts scattered on the bed were also exposed with cotton, which looked very dirty.
"Boss, is this the upper room?" Ah Xiu couldn't help asking.
"Look at what you said, this guest officer, our tavern has been open for so long, and it has always been like this. In fact, there is no way, who makes this place biased, many things are not easy to buy, and they are too lazy to decorate. The proprietress hurriedly explained.
Ah Xiu looked at Luo Xuerou and saw that she didn't say anything, so he said to the proprietress: "Okay, let's live here, you go and get busy first, don't bother us if you have nothing to do." As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to the proprietress .
The proprietress took the silver and immediately burst into joy, and went away with a promise.
Ah Xiu said to Luo Xuerou: "Xuerou, it's a little inconvenient to go out, don't worry too much, you will deal with it overnight, and wait until tomorrow when we get to the Lanqing Principality to find a better place to live." ”
Luo Xuerou had no choice but to nod, she took off the veil on her head, revealing a delicate and pretty face, although she had been running around for the past few days, there was no trace of wind and frost on her face. She walked to the side of the bed and wanted to rest, but when she saw the dirty bedding and couldn't bear to lie down, Ah Xiu saw Luo Xuerou's hesitation, and he said, "Xuerou, you wait here for a while." So he went downstairs.
