Twenty miles away from the Tianshan Mountains is Xueyuan Town.
This is a town founded by nomadic people. Most of the people in the town are descendants of the Qiang people, and there are also some Han people who come here to trade. Han merchants have traveled thousands of miles to transport salt, ironware, and silk clothing in exchange for Qiang people's cattle, sheep, and furs.
The owner of the largest Snow Lotus Inn in town is in his forties, Han nationality, surnamed Hu and Qiu. He has rich experience in deception and deception. What’s more terrible is that he has a loyal and honest appearance, and often deceives people.
In this way, the guest was ripped off thousands of miles away (the guest who was ripped off found out that he had been fooled after traveling a thousand miles away.)
It was late at night, and the boss's seventeen-year-old daughter Hu Yan yawned and went to close the door~~ Unexpectedly, she was scolded by her father: "We closed the door so early, how many guests must be locked out! Do you think?
When the guests come here, they must be so tired that their mouths are crooked, their eyes are slanted, their legs are cramped, and their hands and feet are numb from the cold, and their hearts are trembling. How can you bear to shut them out?"
"Father, you are so kind-hearted, why don't you take money from others." Her daughter Hu Yan has been helping her father's inn for free since she was eleven years old. She hates this inn and her father, and she hates it so much.
I yearn for the big cities in the Central Plains. I have repeatedly persuaded my father to open a store in the Central Plains, but he has been rejected again and again.
At this moment, two snowmen squeezed in with the wind and snow. Not long after they stood in, there was a small puddle under their feet.
It took the two of them a long time to regain their composure. They ordered a jug of good wine and some good dishes, and took off their armed hats and hoods one by one.
The boss immediately shouted to the waiter: "The distinguished guest is here! Light up the fire quickly! The food in the kitchen will be served quickly!" He saw that although the two men were not very luxuriously dressed, they were all wearing weapons, especially the one with a pale face.
That man actually wore a dagger with precious stones on his waist!
"Hey, you two distinguished guests, it's freezing here, so you two have been wronged. This is a gift from the shop, please don't dislike it!" Hu Qiu's eyes narrowed with a smile: as long as these two
If you serve me well, the reward will definitely be indispensable!
Unexpectedly, the pale-faced young man didn't even look at him. Instead, the thin young man next to him slightly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
After the hot dishes were served, the two of them chatted about the food, eating and drinking without any courtesy. Especially the thin young man was so popular that he grabbed the whole chicken in his hand, as if he had never eaten in his life.
Same. The man next to him was more steady, and felt a little uneasy about his companion's behavior being watched by everyone. The boss called his pouting daughter over: "Go! Give the guest officer a towel to wipe it with."
Face!"
"Brother Liu, the white-faced young man took the towel handed over by Hu Yan and wiped his face. He was already a red crow: "You are telling me about your life experience. You said last time that you were a son of an official~~~ But Brother Forgiveness
To be honest, it doesn’t really look alike.”
The thin young man opposite also wiped the dust from his face, he was already Liu Yin.
He ate the food without even raising his head: "I am really a son of an official~~ It's just that I am extravagant and meddlesome. I ruined my huge family fortune, so that later I became poor and didn't even care about it.
No more empty pretentiousness, haha."
"I don't understand the luxury that my dear brother mentioned. He spends all his money to help the people, and only has enough food and clothing for himself. Even the monks in Shaolin Temple who talk about saving all sentient beings, burning incense and chanting Buddha every day can't do this?
The money I gave you at the restaurant last time, you turned around and used it to help the poor?" Red Crow spoke aggressively, but the look he looked at Liu Yin was not as cold as usual, and even had a helpless smile.
meaning.
"Hmm~~~~, Liu Yin finished the last dish before raising his head: "Anyway, if I go to that restaurant again to eat and drink for free, he won't dare to leave me. What's the point of asking for money? Why not?
Give it to the hungry people who are fleeing, so that they will have the strength to work after eating, and then they will not starve to death." After saying that, he actually picked up the plate, but after looking at the red crow, he didn't have the nerve to lick it.
Seeing this, Red Crow quickly ordered four more hot stir-fried dishes for him. He knew that if this guy couldn't fill his stomach, he could do any dirty thing.
The boss analyzed it for a long time but could not figure out what they were doing. He suddenly saw his daughter staring at the white-faced young man like a nymphomaniac.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you go make the bed for the guest!" The boss glared and forced his daughter to leave. But he couldn't help but think in his heart: "If my daughter can marry such a rich man, I can close my eyes even after I die."
Better than those guys who have no money and just have a pretty face!" After saying that, he glared fiercely at the waiter who pretended to clean the table and secretly glanced at his daughter.
Early the next morning, Hu Yan excitedly came to the lobby very early to help. The boss Hu Qiu glanced at her: "Hey, what happened today? I have never gotten up so early to work in my life!"
"I always think of it so early~~~Father, you are old~~My mother left early~You worked so hard to bring me up, and a daughter should share your worries~" After saying this, she still fluttered.
The big eyes flashed, making shopkeeper Hu feel overwhelmed with emotions.
Immediately afterwards, his precious daughter got down to the topic: "Where are those two young men who came yesterday? Why didn't you come for breakfast?"
"Leave early in the morning!" Shopkeeper Hu frowned.
Hu Yan suddenly softened as if her backbone had been beaten. Suddenly she saw a hood on the counter: "Isn't this the young master's hood?"
Then she rolled her eyes and jumped up happily! "Father! The guests' things have been left behind. I'm going to deliver them to them!" After saying this, she ran out of the door without waiting for Shopkeeper Hu to express her stance.
Shopkeeper Hu was trembling with anger: "Having a daughter means losing money!~~You won't be able to keep her when she's older!"
At this time, Red Crow did not think about the hood problem, because there was a bigger problem in front of him: Tianshan Mountain was too big.
Tianshan Mountain is not a mountain, but a mountain range, which stretches almost through the entire Huihe Kingdom. If we were to find them all, even if we were lucky, it would take ten or eight years.
Red Crow's face was livid, and he didn't know what to say. Liu Yin cheered him up on the side: "It's okay! Maybe with our lucky stars, we can find the lake on the first mountain!"
Red Crow nodded reluctantly, but he was a very rational person, and he understood that this matter was already in danger.
"Someone is coming!" Liu Yin was more sensitive to human footsteps than the red crow, and immediately pulled him to hide.
