Chapter 34 Xinma Leisurely Travelling Overnight
Practicing on the island for more than three months, it is already the revival of everything and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.
Lin Zhao first went to the Six Gate Intelligence Base on the island. When he saw his person in charge, he thanked him for his previous help. He did not talk too much nonsense and left directly after saying that.
When he arrived at the riverside and headed towards Huijiang City to the west, Lin Zhao jumped onto the river. The river water was surging, but Lin Zhao was walking like a flat ground and stepped on the water surface, as if Xu Shi was rushing, and he was moving westward.
With a cup of tea, I crossed the river seven or eight miles and flew onto the shore near Huijiangcheng Wharf. There was a fishing boat by the river, and two fishermen were fishing. When they saw Lin Zhao sprinting on the river and finally flew onto the shore, the two of them thought they had seen the immortal and kept kowtowing in the direction where Lin Zhao was.
After entering Huijiang City, Lin Zhao found the courtyard where the masters gathered that day. This is the branch of Liushemen in Huijiang Prefecture. A lot of information collection and major case summary are completed here, and then it is quickly reported to the Liushemen headquarters in Dawu Capital.
After Lin Zhao passed it through to the public, he came in and saw a master of Six Gate who had participated in the operation that day. As soon as he met, he recognized Lin Zhao, with a polite attitude and respectful words.
After explaining the purpose of the visit, the master of Liusanmen sent his subordinates to get Lin Zhao's belongings and chat with him.
After a while, the subordinate came out, holding Lin Zhao's shoulder-backed cowhide backpack and hat. Lin Zhao was not polite and directly inspected his backpack on the spot. There were a lot of items inside, without moving at all. Then he stood up and said goodbye.
The master of the Six Gates kept sending Lin Zhao out of the gate. Looking at Lin Zhao holding the dragon-scale horse and gradually moving away, he sighed secretly: "It's such a master's demeanor!"
Since I came to this world, this is Lin Zhao’s first time traveling outside alone. Lin Zhao didn’t rush along the way, and he kept walking and stopping. Whenever he arrived at a city or town, he would find a good inn to stay in, then inquire about the local customs and culture, ask about the food and scenery, and go for a tour.
Five or six days later, Lin Zhao had only halfway through. However, after tasting the delicious food from all over the country, it was all comfortable and savored.
On this day, Lin Zhao was greedy for the beautiful scenery of early spring on the road, and missed the place to stay. Seeing the setting sun, she was not in a hurry. She just sat on the horse, letting the horse run freely, and walking at will.
Whether it is the past or this life, I am busy, driving myself like a top, and it seems that there is no time to stop.
Now that I am on the journey, I can go wherever I want, stop and go wherever I want, and steal half a day of leisure! Lin Zhao sat on the horse, looking lazy and comforted herself.
The afterglow of the sun in the west disappeared on the top of the mountain, and the light gradually became dim. As the viewing in the daytime deviated from the official road, I didn’t know where I was at this time, but just walked along a small path.
After walking slowly for another half an hour, the night completely fell, the pleasant smell of grass in the air was mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and insects and frogs kept coming from the grass on the roadside.
Lin Zhao had already turned over and got off the horse, pulled the reins with his hand, and walked slowly.
The dark night could not affect Lin Zhao's vision at all. He walked along the path to the top of a hilly and low mountain. There was no tree around him, only weeds.
Lin Zhao stopped and looked up at the sky. He saw stars everywhere, shining brightly, but there was no Milky Way or Big Dipper, and no familiar constellations could be seen.
After walking along the road for a few hundred meters, the terrain began to be slow. Linzhao saw scattered lights flashing four or five miles below the hill. Knowing that there might be a village in front, he led his horse to speed up and headed towards the place where the lights flashed.
Along the winding path, Lin Zhao came to a small town with hundreds of families. The town was made of large stones and surrounded the town with safety. Near the exit, there were two huge wooden doors, which were closed at this time. Not far away, a small river flowed around the town. The sound of water was particularly crisp in the quiet night sky, as if singing.
Lin Zhao smashed the huge wooden door a few times, and after a moment, a light came on. Then, two heads poked out above the huge stone wall, and a shout came.
"What do you want to do in the middle of the night?" His voice was rough and bold, and he felt impatient with the dream being disturbed.
"I am just a rushing traveler. I missed the Amau, can I spend one night in Guizhen? I disturbed the two elder brothers. This little money is worthy of wine, and I don't respect me!" Lin Zhao said, throwing a silver ingot upwards, which is a full five taels.
He quickly stretched out a hand in the air and grabbed the silver ingot steadily. It seemed that he had checked it before he said in a reluctant to say: "You are so lucky. When you meet our Niu brothers on night, if you meet Teacher Li in the town, you will definitely ask you to spend the night in the wilderness!"
"Cruff!" The sound of the wooden shaft turning came, and the huge wooden door slowly opened.
"Fast forward, fast forward. Don't delay my sleep!" a rude voice urged!
Lin Zhao didn't reply and directly led the dragon scale horse into the inside. Under the lantern, Lin Zhao saw two thick-looking and messy-haired strong men closing the door hard. When the door was completely closed and three wooden pins were inserted, she said:
"I'm really sorry to bother with my brothers to rest! Is there an inn in the town?"
"Yes, yes, go forward along the way. In the middle of the town, there are lanterns on it. Go quickly and go!" One of the men responded irritably. The other man stood beside him, without saying anything, just looked at Lin Zhao with a strange look.
Lin Zhao smiled and bowed her hand, and then left without saying a word.
As I walked along the road, as the rude man said, near the middle of the town, there were red lanterns inserted at the door with the words "Inn" written on it, and the plaque on the door was engraved with "Fulin Inn".
After knocking on the door, a friend opened the door quickly. The inn should be open. After settling down the Dragon Scale Horse, Lin Zhao opened the best room. Seeing that there were still people drinking on four or five tables in the hall, he ordered a portion of vegetables, a plate of fried beans, and a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
Sitting on a long chair, Lin Zhao was waiting for the meal, and glanced at the other tables of guests, looking at the farmers in the town dressed.
But strangely, the four or five tables of guests seemed very dull, as if they had something to worry about, just drinking a lot of wine.
The inn owner also had a gloomy face, sitting behind the counter with no joy of opening the door to welcome guests. The entire hall was shrouded in a depressed and dull atmosphere, revealing a hint of weirdness.
A loud "bang" sounded like a palm slapped the tabletop, which shocked the inn owner behind the counter and trembled, breaking the dull atmosphere in the hall.
"Die today, die tomorrow, I see that this town will die sooner or later! No, I will take my wife and goat to live in the city tomorrow. Even if I am a beggar, it will be better than waiting to die here for nothing!" A voice full of despair rang out.
Lin Zhaoran looked up suddenly and looked at a man who suddenly stood up on the table in front of the right. The man looked middle-aged, with traces of aging early after working hard. At this time, he was excited, mixed with despair in fear, and seemed to be completely unable to control his words and destiny.
The three people who were drinking with some middle-aged man quickly stood up and comforted the middle-aged man. After finally comforting his emotions, the hall fell into depression and dullness. Apart from the slight sound of drinking, none of the more than a dozen people spoke, and the air seemed to have frozen.
Looking around, Lin Zhao saw everyone's expression in his eyes. Everyone who was drinking in the hall should be residents of the town. They probably knew each other, but they didn't know what happened in the town. They actually came to this inn and drank a slutty wine when the night had already arrived.
Suddenly, footsteps came. The inn man held a plate, put the vegetables and fried beans on the table, and put a bowl of vegetarian noodles with soup in front of Lin Zhao. Then he exclaimed: "Customer, your dishes are all served!"
There were a few green vegetable tips floating in the plain noodles. Lin Zhao took a bite of the noodles. Although the taste was a little light, there was a faint fragrance of green vegetables, which could be swallowed. The fried beans were golden in color, very crispy and delicious, and had a faint bean fragrance.
The description of human meat buns in "Water Margin" in the previous life was too profound. Therefore, Lin Zhao used vegetarian food when she was away and in remote areas. She used vegetarian food even more without drinking. The medicine for sweating was the introduction to human meat buns.
After a moment, Lin Zhao ate most of the food he ordered, then stood up and shouted: "Shopkeeper, help me prepare some hot water and put it into the room!"
Lin Zhao's voice suddenly rang, and shocked everyone in the hall again. Lin Zhao did this on purpose. Although she didn't know what happened, the men here were drinking to relieve their sorrows, which was really not in line with their nature, and they were disappointed when they had eaten!
When I arrived at the backyard guest room, Lin Zhao opened all the windows and brought the cool night breeze into the guest room.
The innkeeper brought hot water quickly and asked habitually: "What are the instructions for the guest?"
Lin Zhao waved his hand and told the guy not to worry, and sat down and talked first. Then he took out two taels of broken silver and placed it on the table. The guy's eyes were attracted involuntarily.
"I'm a new arrival. When I was having a meal, I saw the diners in the hall frown. Your shopkeeper's face was not good either. When did it happen in the town?" Lin Zhao looked at the clerk and asked in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, the guy immediately showed a look of horror on his face, hesitant, and the weather was uncertain.
"Tell me the truth, the money on the table is yours!" Lin Zhao said again.
The guy's face was a little pale, his mouth moved, and he spoke after a few breaths. "Actually, it's okay to tell the guest official, but the matter is really terrible. I hope the guest official will not be shocked!"
As the guy slowly told me, Lin Zhao probably understood the whole story. After half a salary, the guy finished talking about the situation and looked at the broken silver on the table.
Lin Zhao's face remained unchanged, and she waved her hand with a smile: "Don't worry, a certain family keeps their word, the money is yours!"
The guy closed the door and left. Lin Zhao held his hands behind him and looked at the night sky outside the window. The stars flashed in the sky, insects screamed in the grass, and the fragrance floated in the air, so peaceful and quiet.
But in this gentle spring breeze, evil and blood are hidden.
It is precisely: the horse is free to run alone, the spring is shining and the night wind is tight!
