Seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, but he had not yet found a place to stay, Ge Shu Wuluan couldn't help but become more anxious. He couldn't let the monarch and his empress sleep outside, right
Just when she was secretly worried and anxious, she unknowingly arrived at the last inn called 'Xike Lai', thinking that if it was full again, she would have to persuade the monarch to stay at the county government office.
This inn looks quaint and elegant from the outside, but the decoration is very unique when you look inside. It can be regarded as a first-class inn.
Brother Shu Wuluan walked up the steps. As soon as he stepped into the store, a waiter came forward to greet him warmly and lead the way, "Guests, please come in. Are you going to work in the hotel or stay in the hotel?"
Brother Shu Wuluan stopped and glanced at the waiter, a little annoyed that he was talking nonsense, and said in an unforgiving cold voice: "It's so late, of course I'm staying in a hotel! Do you still have to ask?"
Her voice was already sharp and cold, and she undoubtedly poured a bucket of ice water on the boy's enthusiasm. The boy was so shocked that he stopped talking, and only twitched the corners of his mouth with a look of horror, not daring to answer.
An elderly man, who seemed to be the shopkeeper here, hurriedly put down the abacus in his hand and walked out of the counter.
He walked a few steps in front of the woman who was dressed in dusty clothes, glanced at her for a moment, and his shrewd eyes showed, and he apologized hurriedly, "The young man is not very good at talking, sir, don't blame me. Why don't you hurry up and make a pot for me?" Tea to make amends!”
After saying that, he turned around and scolded the guy.
The shopkeeper only briefly observed the man in front of him, but he saw that although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was very handsome and his momentum was even more astonishing.
I thought that recently many officials who passed through Lin County to watch the sky in Zenzhou came to shop. With this person's charm, I guess he must have some background. In this case, it would be better not to offend the distinguished guests.
Over there, the waiter was agitated by the drink. He was about to prepare tea as instructed, but he heard, "No need."
At this moment, the two masters were still waiting in the carriage tiredly. How could she have the time to drink this apology tea
Brother Shu Wuluan hurriedly raised a stop gesture and said to the shopkeeper: "Please help me, shopkeeper, arrange an upper room and three medium rooms for me."
The shopkeeper replied with a confused look on his face: "I'm really sorry, the shop doesn't have many spare rooms today. There are only two upper-class rooms left vacant. Please see..."
Hearing this, Brother Shu Wuluan's face darkened slightly, why is it almost full again? Could it be that the inn business in Lin County is so booming? Thinking about it, he frowned and said, "Can you let the guests vacate two rooms? I can pay double the rent."
"This, it's not a matter of how much money you pay. After all, it's a first-come, first-served basis. If you force the guests to leave, how will the shop do business in the future? Besides, where do you want them to stay this late at night? Looking at the guests Please be considerate! Do you think you can tolerate it for one night?" The shopkeeper said to the troubled Nuonuo while observing his words.
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Brother Shu Wuluan also felt that it was inappropriate to do this. However, fortunately, there were still two vacant rooms. As long as the two masters could rest well, the three of them could handle it for one night. .
Thinking about this, he asked: "Are those two rooms next to each other?"
Hearing this, he seemed to want to live there. The shopkeeper was overjoyed and hurriedly replied: "Next to each other. The room is on the second floor. Not only is the outside environment quiet, but the inner room is also very clean and elegant. I guarantee your satisfaction." . If you don’t believe me, I can take you to see it first.”
"No need to look, I want both of these rooms. By the way, let the guy prepare some bath water and send it up. Also, park the carriage outside and remember to feed the horse some fodder. This is the deposit for the room." Shu Wuluan ordered them one by one crisply, and finally handed the money to the shopkeeper in advance before stepping out to invite the master.
After crossing the threshold, he suddenly paused, looked back and asked, "Has the business of your inn here always been so prosperous? Why are so many of the hotels in Xiatou always full?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then explained: "Oh, the business is not so good usually. The guests don't know. Isn't this a celestial phenomenon in Zenzhou? This has attracted many tourists who live here. Most of the customers want to go there to take advantage of the good fortune, and they happen to pass by here to spend the night. In the final analysis, the success of our small shops is due to that phenomenon... "
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Brother Shu Wuluan stared for a moment as if in deep thought, then silently nodded his head to express his understanding, and then walked out the door.
After arranging everything, the two masters were welcomed into the upper room in the middle of the second floor. After the two of them had taken a bath, had some late-night snacks, and then turned off the lights and rested, Ge Shu Wuluan returned to the next room safely.
Due to the shortage of rooms, there were only two guest rooms. Therefore, the two men unanimously gave up the remaining room to Ge Shu Wuluan, and the two of them had to deal with it outside all night.
Brother Shu Wuluan was not polite here and moved in without giving in at all.
This is a side room. The interior is spacious and elegant. One side of the room is adjacent to the window. Occasionally, the cool night breeze drifts in through the window, fluttering the thin window screen, bringing in some unknown floral fragrance.
I took a deep breath of fresh air and gently closed the slightly open window. At this time, a waiter knocked on the door and brought bath water.
After answering, the two waiters carried in a bucket of warm bath water. After putting it down steadily, they were about to exit the door when they heard the woman say: "Please, one of you, please stay out there." A brother who drives a car sent me a set of bedding."
It was autumn now, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was huge. If you slept outside like this all night, you would inevitably catch wind and cold. Therefore, she was worried that Lei's body that had been exposed to corpse poison would be unable to bear it, so she thought about asking the waiter to send him a set of quilts.
When he was suddenly called, the waiter who had been scolded by Brother Shu Wuluan was startled secretly. After recalling the soft words, he responded in a flattering manner: "Don't worry, sir, I'll send you off right away."
After saying that, he turned around to leave. Brother Shu Wuluan spoke again. His voice was a little hesitant, and his face looked extremely unnatural. "Wait... then... let the other silver-haired brother also give me a set."
After saying this sentence with difficulty, she almost wanted to bite off her tongue in annoyance.
She actually called Yan Qi to kill her brother! Is she crazy
Ge Shu Wuluan refused to admit that she cared about him deep down in her heart. She just kept telling herself that the man might have cold syndrome. She was afraid that he would suddenly get sick and delay the trip.
Thinking of this, she did not forget to add a warning, "Also, don't let him know that I ordered him to send it."
"Okay." The waiter was surprised for a moment, then responded and left.
Brother Shu Wuluan hurriedly tidied up his messy thoughts, locked the door, and began to take a bath.
The warm water relieves fatigue and all fatigue is washed away.
At this time, the night was getting darker and darker, the moon was hazy, and the stars were bright.
Brother Shu Wuluan, who was not sleepy, put on clean clothes and came to the window. He opened the window leisurely, and a gust of night wind blew in his face, gradually driving away the dense bathing air that filled the room.
Looking out of the window, I saw a long and winding side street. There was no night light in the deep alley, so it looked completely dark.
A breeze blew by, and the figure floated out of the window...
In a dilapidated temple, there was a faint flicker of fire, and bursts of sour heat floated out from the dilapidated door.
Duan saw that this was a temple with cobwebs crisscrossing the ground and a mess on the ground. A firewood pile was burning on the ground in one corner.
There was a dirty casserole on the bright flame, with a thick layer of oily mud covering the entire pot. What was cooking inside the pot was unknown, and the smell wafting out made people feel a little nauseous.
A thin man with a sickly look on his face was sitting next to the fire. He filled a bowl of turbid soup from the pot, and then shouted angrily: "Huh, what are you looking at? You didn't make a single penny today. You I don’t even have to eat this rotten swill!”
After shouting, he threw the spoon back into the pot with a snap. The hot water splashed out and fell on the flames under the pot, making a soft chirping sound.
The scolded girl shrank her body like a frightened rabbit and huddled silently in the corner. Her dry and messy hair was tucked behind her ears, revealing a pale and thin face.
A pair of big eyes are set in that small and delicate face, making her look graceful and graceful.
At this moment, she was staring at the bowl of soup, smacking her mouth and swallowing saliva, as if she was very hungry.
The older one and the younger one were exactly the two people who were busking on the street in the evening. After a fruitless performance, they hastily closed the stall and returned to the dilapidated temple where they had temporarily settled.
The man cursed for a few times and then stopped. He blew the hot air from the bowl and hurriedly brought it to his mouth to take a small sip of the soup. The strong rancid taste almost made him spit it out as soon as he entered his mouth.
However, his stomach was so hungry that he kept squealing, so he could only swallow it.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in from the door, causing the flames of the firewood to jump and then make a crackling sound.
Before the man could swallow the soup in his mouth, his eyes went dark and he passed out. The soup bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered to pieces with a 'clang'. For a while, the soup flowed across the river.
Looking at the ground again, I don't know when a slender moon-white figure suddenly appeared. As the flames slowly returned to calm, the clothes were covered with a layer of light yellow light, pure and warm.
The visitor took a quick look around the ruined temple, and when his eyes fell on the big pot-bellied jar standing in one corner, his eyes froze at the right time.
The moment the man fell to the ground, the girl rushed forward as if she was crazy, knelt on one side, shook his arm violently, and said in a frightened voice, "Wake up, wake up..."
Brother Shu Wuluan was a little puzzled by the girl's behavior at this time, but he did not delve into it. He just took a step forward and glanced down at the turbid soup boiling in the pot. He only smelled the strong rancid smell and it was very choking. He couldn't help but let it go. She covered her nose with her sleeves.
