The oncoming wind entrained an unbearable heat, but even so, most of the burning sensation on the body was well dissipated.
After crossing a bare hill, Zili suddenly stared at the front and shouted: "There seems to be an oasis ahead! Drive, Quzai, run faster! Drive—" One person and one ride are like sprinting in a horse race. The ground rushed to the woods not far away.
One head plunged into the dense green forest, the whole body seemed to be immersed in a piece of cool pool water, and it was so cozy that people couldn't help but shiver.
"Good job, Quzai!" Zi Li patted his forehead appreciatively.
Qu Zi sprayed his nose in disdain.
"If there is a forest, there should be a source of water." When I thought of the word water, all the cells on my body immediately clamored.
"Quzai, my wealth and fate are left to you. The sensitivity of horses has always been higher than that of humans." Zi Li rubbed his cheek flatly.
Qu Tsai screamed as a response. Even if he didn't take Zili's life seriously, he still had to take care of his life. Who knew if he would really bleed himself with extreme thirsty
Zili stared at the back of its head with green eyes, and T-ian T-ian's chapped lips from time to time. Under such creepy pressure, Qu Zi carried Zili and turned left and right among the dense trees. After a while, finally saw a gurgling spring after drilling through a green barrier.
Zi Li saw the green light in his eyes, and immediately moved the monkey anxiously down to the spring and began to drink wildly. The cool and sweet spring water makes every pore and every cell fresh and comfortable.
It wasn't until he got a full hiccup, until his stomach shook, that Zili turned over and lay on the grass contentedly.
Quzai saw Zi Li's satiated look, and couldn't help but glanced at him contemptuously, and then slowly stepped to the stream and sipped his head.
After resting for a while, and filling the water bag again, Zili got up and patted his horse and said: "We have to set off, we can't stay here for too long!"
Out of the woods, the destination is no longer the exposed rocky land of L_uo, but a gentle hill. Zili also discovered the sidewalk, which appeared and disappeared from time to time among the hills lying together like a strip of white silk. Zili drove the horse along the road, and when the sun was about to go down, she reached a small town.
"Hey, please come from inside this guest official!" Xiaoer saw an outlander who was holding a horse in the doorway, guessing that he might be coming for lodging, so he hurriedly came out to help lead the horse and said, "This uncle is Do you want to stay?"
"Well. I'll stay for one night. It doesn't need to be too expensive, as long as it is clean." Zi Li replied.
"Good. The shopkeeper, a middle room." Xiao Er shouted inwardly.
"Little Er, take good care of my horse, this is a tip for you." Zili was afraid that he would treat Quzi badly, so she specially ordered.
"Of course, please don't worry about the guest officer!" After receiving the reward, Xiao Er was even more diligent and authentic.
Approaching the inn, I found that although the inside is not big, the storefront is neat and tidy. Maybe it's almost closing time, so
There are very few diners.
The shopkeeper came up with a kerosene lamp with a smile and said, "A middle room, please come with me, the guest officer."
Followed up to the second floor, the shopkeeper pushed open the door of one of the wing rooms, and Zili looked inside. The room was so rudimentary that there was only one bed and one table for eight immortals, but it would be nice to be clean. Now there is nothing too much on him. The money cannot be too high.
"not bad."
"Does the guest officer want food?"
"This is naturally necessary. You can bring it to my room. Oh, and bring me a bucket of water."
"Okay, please wait a moment, guest officer."
Chapter Fifteen
He swallowed the supper hungrily, and T-ian T-ian's mouth was soaked with vegetable juice, Zi Li sighed contentedly. {}Although it's just an ordinary meal, it's already a delicacy in the world for Zili, who has been gnawing on the chaff and dry food for a few days.
A fat young man chuckles back and forth to fill the tub with water, and Zili, with his teeth on the side, said leisurely: "Little brother, don’t heat the water. Just take a warm bath on such a hot day. !"
"Okay, guest officer
, The water is ready. What else do you want? "Xiao Er wiped the sweat on his head and bowed and asked.
"It's gone for the time being, you go out!" Zi Li waved.
Xiao Er was taken aback for a moment, and then he stayed on the spot and looked at Zili with a bit of a twist, and said, "Guest officer, I, I've helped you carry ten buckets of water!"
Zili glanced at him strangely, and said, "I know, what's wrong?"
"Well, you haven't rewarded me yet?" Xiao Er was anxious. Just now at the door he clearly saw that he was generously rewarding Xiao Chuan'er who was just leading his horse. Why didn't he even have a stature in his turn
When Zili heard this, she raised her eyebrows and stood up, stepping on the bench and raising her chin and said, "You kid thinks I'm the owner of a bank? It's so easy to give money away? Call your shopkeeper, and I'm going to ask him. Are there any rules for this little second to ask customers for rewards in his shop?"
Fat Xiaoer begged himself to be boring, his face flushed and white, and then walked away in despair.
"Hmph, my money is not so easy to make!" Zi Li snorted after closing the door.
Tear off the fake beard, and quickly stripped off the smelly and dirty clothes on her body, Zili stepped into the tub impatiently. After three days of rushing non-stop, the muscles of the whole body were sore! He relaxed his hands and feet and soaked comfortably in the moderate-temperature water, enjoying the comfortable feeling that the fatigue on his body was slowly pulling away and disappearing.
Most of the dye previously applied to the skin has been evaporated by sweat, but the dust on the face is unnoticeable! After a soak in the water, these adherents continue to melt, gradually revealing the original white and smooth skin. Lazily stretched out a slender jade leg and put it on the side of the wooden barrel, Zili hummed a song while rubbing his face and long hair with water.
I was so happy that I was suddenly disturbed by the sound of door claps.
"Who is it?" Zi Li asked loudly, displeased.
"I." It was just that I didn't please my efforts just now, and Bai gave the diligent fat young man.
"Do you want to ask for a tip again?" Zili thought suspiciously, and then shouted out the door: "What? Didn't you tell your uncle that I am taking a shower?"
"Open the door first, there is a guest officer who wants to stay in the store." Fat Xiaoer patted the door rudely.
"Mother, I'm not the shopkeeper, why are you patting my door like someone staying in the store?" Zili yelled angrily. This person clearly wanted to find fault, and he was disturbed in a good mood.
"This brother, I am also a passerby who came here to stay here. It's just that the thief had stolen the silver on his body. Now I only have a few copper plates left and can’t afford to live in a single room. I wonder if this brother can let him go. Sharing a room with you?" Suddenly I heard a nice voice asking politely.
This man sounds like a gentleman! The money was stolen while going out, which seems to be worthy of sympathy. Anyway, I only stay for one night, and I will go our own way tomorrow, it should be okay! Thinking of this, Zili stood up and wiped her body at random and put on her coat, her wet hair was still dripping with water, and Zili was slightly annoyed to wrap up her long hair that had always been a hindrance. He couldn't let others see what he was like now, but it was too late to apply the dye. Zili quickly opened the bag and took out the human skin mask and carefully put it on his face, and then put on the fake beard, the same as before. The image of Uncle Tian is very different, but as long as he can hide his original face, it is good! I checked and found that there was nothing wrong before I walked over and opened the door.
That fat little Er waited impatiently, and just wanted to shoot the door, but the door opened. He stared suspiciously at Zi Li who appeared at the door.
"What are you looking at? I haven't seen a handsome guy!" Zi Li glared back.
Then he turned his eyes to the young man standing next to him. Sword eyebrows and star eyes, straight nose and thin lips, jet black hair with a golden jade crown, wearing a Ru-colored gown with aqua gauze cover, and a jade-inlaid belt around his waist. The whole person is gentle and elegant, with a dusty temperament. They all look like the noble sons of the family.
Zi Li couldn't help wondering that anything on his body was enough for him to pay for one night's room.
