Chapter 206
Borrowing a Sleep
After leaving Jinzhou City, it is another world. The official road that Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan walked, you can still see carriages along the way.
"Madam, I'll ask. I have to go to the next county to stay in an inn for a day and a night. They have to rush to a village to stay." He Wen came back to report.
Zhao Yunlan saw another carriage stopping to rest, so she called He Wen to stop the horse. So she sent He Wen to ask for directions. When Zhao Yunlan thought about it, she also felt that she was a tiger. Everyone was not familiar with the terrain. That's it.
It's on the road in a big way.
It is mainly Zhao Yunlan's modern inertia. There is a sign outside wherever she goes out. Before going to the city, Zhao Yunlan also arrived along the official road. This time she was negligent. This time, she was hiding from a long trip in ancient times.
How many difficulties and dangers.
Another thing is that Li Mingren has become more and more dependent on Zhao Yunlan in recent years, so he thought that Zhao Yunlan was foolproof to go to the capital. So neither of them was ready for the route plan for their trip.
"My wife, let's invite a team of escorts to the next county." Li Mingren suggested.
Zhao Yunlan nodded and agreed very much.
"We just have to find a place to live first and follow them later. I don't want to sleep in the wild."
Li Mingren nodded and asked He Wen: "Is their pair going to the capital?"
He Wen shook his head: "It seems that it is not. They didn't say it clearly, but their next place is to go to Shangyang County, the same as us."
Li Mingren understood that it was difficult to talk to outsiders when they were out. People were willing to tell the place to stay was already very good. Seeing the carriage over there seemed to be a businessman, Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan did not disturb them much. When they set off again
At that time, Zhao Yunlan was also ready to set off.
He Wen's carriage was behind, not too far from the convoy in front, but it would not make people feel uncomfortable.
It was dark and I guess it was time for Xu to see a faint light in front of me.
"Madam, master. The village should be in front of him." Ye Sheng sat next to He Wen to explore the road and reported the situation to the carriage.
Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan sighed together, they could get off the ground. Maybe they were going to rush, but the convoy in front did not stop after setting off again. Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren naturally did not dare to stop, worried about being left behind.
If you can't find the road at that time, it's mainly because it's not all the roads on the official roads. This way you can walk a small road when you enter the village. So Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren gritted their teeth and insisted on sitting in the carriage.
"Ye Sheng, go and see which house is wider later, and then go in and ask." Zhao Yunlan ordered Ye Sheng.
Another team of carriages and horses had entered the village, and He Wen followed closely behind.
After Ye Sheng took a quick look in the village, another team of people had moved in.
Ye Sheng returned and said, "Master, Madam, the family they live in is the largest house in the village."
Zhao Yunlan was about to speak when an old man came out.
"Do you guys also need to stay?" the old man asked.
Li Mingren nodded: "Yes, old man, you still have free rooms at home."
The old man shook his head: "Even if they live in my house, I can't live there, I can take you to another house."
Li Mingren nodded, and the carriage moved with the old man. In a short distance, the old man revealed his identity. The old man was the village chief of this village. The village was called Xiaojia Village. There were many surnames in the village, and he was a nearby official.
The village is closest to the road. Therefore, there are often people traveling around in the village. This is also a business in this village.
The group of people just now lived in the village chief's house, and the village chief's house could not be settled and would arrange for other villagers' homes. Li Mingren guessed that the group of people just now should be regular visitors on this road.
As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, he arrived in front of a family. The house was not big, and it was a house built of wood.
"Pony Liao, come out quickly." The old village chief shouted into the house.
At this time, a short and thin old lady came out with a little lump on her back.
"What's wrong with the village chief? Big Dog hasn't gone out today and has already fallen asleep now."
"I won't look for your grandson, I'll bring you a customer. I'll clean up the bed at home, and these guests need accommodation. I shouted the big dog to help boil water, what should I sleep? I'll catch fish and touch the dog every day
He slept quite early.”
The old village chief said with some regret.
Grandma Liao on the opposite side was a little embarrassed and had to bend down: "He is not that kind of person, he just wants to help me. Alas~ I won't say anything, thank you for the village chief."
The old village chief waved his hand: "Go clean up quickly, don't delay the guests' rest."
Turning his head, he said to Li Mingren, "Liu Pozi's family is convenient for you to travel at the entrance of the village, and her family's population is simple, so it is convenient for you to live there." The old village chief considered the female family in the carriage, and of course he also helped a group of Liao Pozi
Home.
Li Mingren knew the village chief’s thoughts but did not pay attention to it. It was good to have a place to live outside.
The village chief stood for a while and felt relieved after watching the child named Da Dog get up.
"Grandpa, go into the house to drink water." The person who spoke was a girl younger than a big dog.
"Haha, grandpa won't drink water anymore. Our little girl is so good. Don't imitate your brother to be ignorant every day."
Xiao Ya whispered: "Brother is sensible, brother has given Xiao Ya a roasted sweet potato."
The village chief smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, you guys should pack up quickly." After that, he turned around and bowed to Li Mingren and left.
Zhao Yunlan got off the carriage, and Chunxiang and He Hua followed behind and got off the carriage with a bag.
There are four houses for living in the Liao Pozi family, and two are empty houses. Seeing that there are women and servants in this group, Liao Pozi asked the big dog to empty the house.
Li Mingren originally wanted to clean up two rooms, and he and Ye Sheng and He Wen, Zhao Yunlan and Chunxiang He Hua. But Zhao Yunlan did not agree. They had already cleaned up and lived there.
Li Mingren thought that he was a little disgusted with occupying someone else's house, but Zhao Yunlan whispered: "They can charge more accommodation fees for one room, so let's take it as a helping hand."
Li Mingren's guilt dissipated and helped Zhao Yunlan bring hot water. In fact, the hot water had already been placed at the door, and Li Mingren could take it without leaving the house.
The girl who asked Xiaoya to bring a clean veil for Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan smiled and took it, but it was useless in the end. Zhao Yunlan brought a lot of toiletries before going out, just because she was worried that she would not be used outside.
The child named Big Dog was outside helping He Wen feed the horses.
"Brother, is this horse running fast?" the big dog asked carefully.
He Wen saw that the child was interested in the horse and started chatting: "Run quickly."
Big Dog: "Can I touch it?"
He Wen: "Yes, you can't touch your butt or pull your tail."
The big dog took the courage to touch it, and the horse snorted. It scared the big dog so much that it took a few steps back. After taking the child, it suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha~"
Mrs. Liao was cooking in the kitchen and listening to the laughter in the yard, shouting: "Big dog, please be quiet, don't hit the guest."
The big dog then restrained: "I understand, grandma."
He Wen knew that the big dog had freed up the room for him and Ye Sheng to stay, so he asked, "Where are you sleeping at night?"
The big dog didn't care: "The stove room will keep burning water there at night, and the fire in the stove will not be extinguished."
He Wen looked at the kitchen with airtight sides and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Mrs. Liao brought out the hot soup noodles. It was not noodles, but the battered one. The coarse noodles were mixed with a small part of the fine noodles and cooked them with only a little salt.
"Please have dinner for two guests."
Zhao Yunlan brought some food and meat and vegetables on the way. She was too tired and it was too late. Zhao Yunlan didn't want to go and try to make a fuss when she looked at the things in the bowl and just made up for it.
Xiao Ya stood far away and stared at the few people drinking hot noodle soup. Lady Liao had no choice but to get Xiao Ya a piece of cake. It looked like it was made of rough noodles, dry, hard and black.
After eating some hot food, Zhao Yunlan felt a little painful at this moment. She felt tired from the road. She fell asleep without saying a few words to Li Mingren.
