It was late at night and it was raining heavily.
The shrewd woman walked into the lobby on the first floor with a large bowl of soup in her hand.
Huo Ling led people to patrol below, and when he saw the shrewd women coming, he immediately said, "The store is still not resting so late?"
The shrewd woman said angrily, "There is no rest for business people like us. It is our duty to serve you."
The shrewd woman walked to the table of the Eight Immortals, put the bowl down, and said to Huo Ling and others, "It's raining so hard, and the weather is cold enough, come, drink some hot soup to warm up."
Huo Ling heard the words righteously and refused, "No, thank you for the kindness of the store, I will wait for the guard."
The shrewd woman paused and continued to persuade, "You don't waste your time drinking a bowl of soup, and your body is warm after drinking. Isn't it more energetic to resist the cold wind at night?"
Huo Ling raised his hand and waved, turned and went down to inspect.
Seeing that the fire spirit was unmoved, the servants under his hands also stood guard without squinting. The shrewd woman deliberately shook the aroma in the bowl with her hands. Even if the fragrance was overflowing, no one blinked. Cursing in my heart, this group of dead brains!
So she went down with the soup bowl again, and the two people in the back kitchen saw that she had returned without success, and they were a little anxious, "What should I do?"
"It's really hard for these people to get in the oil and salt, but it doesn't matter. Looking at the sky, it is estimated that the rain will not last until tomorrow, so you can wait with peace of mind."
Once delayed at this time, the best time has been missed, the shrewd woman said viciously.
"Well, what the lady says is what she says!" The fat man said with a squinted smile. Because he was too fat, his eyes disappeared when he smiled.
Chef Scar nodded, "Anyway, these people won't be able to leave, I'll try to figure it out tomorrow, and just now I went to the stables and found that there seemed to be a lot of good things in the carriage they were riding in. If I can successfully get these people out Come on, then we might make a fortune!"
"Last time, the group of people looked decent, but in fact they didn't even have dozens of taels in their luggage. It was a big loss!" The fat man said with disgust.
"So this time, we have to act cautiously. There are a lot of people, so be careful." The shrewd lady explained in a low voice.
The two nodded when they heard the words.
A night without dreams.
When Chu Qingyan woke up, she found that the sky was still dark, and she could faintly hear the wind blowing outside. She wondered, could it be that she woke up too early, and the sky was not yet bright
But when he turned his head, the bed next to him was empty, and it was obvious that the big ice cube had woken up.
Chu Qingyan rubbed her eyes and got up, while Xining outside heard the movement inside and came in with water.
"Master, did you sleep well last night?" Xining came in and asked with a smile.
Chu Qingyan nodded, "Very good, is it still raining outside?"
Xining wrung the cloth and handed it to her, "Yes, the wind is very strong. Although the rain has stopped, Lord Huo Ling said that there may be a heavy rain today, and maybe we have to stay here for a day."
Chu Qingyan took the cloth towel and wiped her face and hands, and said with some faint worry, "It can only be like this, this weather is not suitable for crossing the river, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
After washing up, Chu Qingyan walked out of the room refreshed and stepped on the creaky ladder and went downstairs.
Xiao Xu and others were already sitting below drinking tea at this time.
As soon as Chu Qingyan sat down, she saw the Taishang Dynasty winking at her, and she twitched the corners of her mouth, "Grandpa, you didn't sleep well last night, and your eyes are crooked?"
The Emperor Taishang immediately restrained his expression and glared at her angrily, "You just fell asleep!"
Chu Qingyan was in a good mood immediately, and fighting with the Emperor Taishang was the most interesting.
So Chu Qingyan enjoyed breakfast happily.
"Continue to stay for a day today and see what the weather will be like tomorrow." Xiao Xu said lightly.
Chu Qingyan nodded, "No problem."
At this time, the guard who went out against the wind came back, and he cupped his hands to his master, "The water level on the river surface is rising. If it doesn't retreat tomorrow, it will be difficult for the boat to launch into the water."
When Chu Qingyan heard this, she frowned. Could it be that she can't leave tomorrow
"Well, pay attention to the water level." Xiao Xu ordered.
As soon as the voice fell, the heavy rain fell again.
Team rest.
Kong Ling was studying medical books in the room, and Mu Ling was fiddling around. Qing Yi went to the stable to feed the horses, and Lu Yi went upstairs to tidy up the room.
At this time, only Chu Qingyan, Xiao Xu, Taishanghuang, Xining, Gurong Guyi and others were left in the lobby.
Huo Ling came back after strengthening the guard and saw that the little princess was counting the drops of water in a boring way, so she couldn't help but ask, "Little Young Master, why don't you take this opportunity, why don't you come and practice martial arts?"
Chu Qingyan was stunned when she heard the words, and then she saw the big ice cubes followed by hearing the sound. Suddenly I felt a little sweat on the top of my head.
"Uh, I think, it's good to have light gong, and it's good to smear oil on the soles of your feet when something happens!" Chu Qingyan touched her nose and snorted.
I don't know if she left the capital, the idea of practicing martial arts is not so strong. I subconsciously think that the capital is the most dangerous place. Without strong ability, you can't protect yourself, but now she has changed her mind a bit. , without intelligence, it is difficult to protect yourself. Therefore, she does not have such a strong pursuit of martial arts.
However, all in all, she is lazy, the scenery outside is too beautiful, she is far away from the disputes in Kyoto, the whole person is relaxed, and the sense of crisis is not so obvious.
When the Emperor Taishang heard the words, he hated iron for not being steel, "Don't hate less when it's time to use it!"
Chu Qingyan coughed lightly, but did not respond, but she felt that the sight of the big ice cube was still on her body, and after thinking about it, she said, "Cousin, I think I can be your rear guard and help you keep the people behind you. Things have been dealt with one by one, so that you have no worries, how about it?"
You do your thing, I will guard your back, and all the trivial things will not bother you.
Xiao Xu originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let her grow bit by bit, at least not rely on others.
But for the past two days, she fell asleep peacefully in his arms at night, and her thoughts slowly dissipated.
Forget it, let him protect it!
"Well." In fact, she has done a good job. From Xiao Ran's assassination to the present, everything she has done has exceeded his expectations.
Faced with difficulties, she never flinched. Even when she went out, she considered everything.
Why should he demand that she must be omnipotent again
That's enough!
Chu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief after being able to get the understanding of the big ice cube. Although she was not too skilled, she was not interested in practicing martial arts. Besides, she believed that if the big ice cube was there, she would be in danger, and she would eventually save it. of.
However, not long after that, when Chu Qingyan recalled what she thought and said today, she hated herself incomparably, why did she refuse to practice martial arts in the first place!
The person who has always been omnipotent and so powerful that no one can threaten, will one day have a powerless side.
The heavy rain washed away a lot of things, revealing their original appearance, but it drowned a lot of things, making it cover up.
