This is a very simple inn, with pink-white walls and a mottled Eight Immortals table. There are three or two neatly dressed but not glamorous travelers sitting in the lobby. The paint surface of the counter is very bright, and there is a middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
Shopkeeper Nian shouted to Chen Wu: "Fifth Master, what kind of wind has brought you to our small town!"
Chen Wu showed a polite smile: "Boss Wang, that's what you said. Your Xunxian Town has a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, so why can't I come?"
Boss Wang showed a yellow tooth and smiled brightly: "That's not what you said, Fifth Master. Hey, in the whole of Dongzuyun, who doesn't know that you are doing big business! Aren't I curious that you are going to do it yourself?"
Chen Wu frowned: "Don't mention it. On the way to receive the goods, I heard that some mountain people had dug up good medicinal materials nearby, so I rushed over. As a result..." He snorted with his nose, "
These gangsters are playing tricks on me, Chen Wu, and they even open their mouths. I don’t even want to ask for it. Who else can pay the price for Dongchuyun?”
"That is." The boss said flatteringly, "Unless he has the ability to sell it to Qicheng."
Chen Wu laughed loudly: "You, old man, are always looking for people to be happy. Why didn't you say that he would be sold to the shrine and make more money? The Grand Duke and his wife have been in love for five years. As long as he lives,
After crossing the border line, the medicinal materials from Izumo Mountain are sold at sky-high prices everywhere. ~"
"No." The business of the inn was deserted and there were no customers. The boss chatted more and more enthusiastically: "I heard that the price of medicinal materials from Izumo Mountain has increased significantly outside, and I have made a fortune by occupying the Jubilee Land in Nishi Izumo.
.Sigh, we are so unlucky to be guarding Baoshan goods but not being able to sell them."
Chen Wudao: "It's good to be content and safe. The war will be over one day. Then your inn will be bustling. You think, my wife is remarried and has no children. She only has one daughter, and she can still live with the Grand Duke and the Second Duke."
Is stubbornness going to end? We Qi Di will always have peace one day."
Boss Wang chuckled: "That's right. No matter how hard we fight outside, we can't reach Izuyun Mountain. Although our life here is more miserable, we are better off in peace."
"That's right. It's hard to buy Tai Ping Year when you have money." Chen Wu ended the chat with a haha, "The old rule is that two rooms are connected to each other. Tea and food are sent upstairs."
Boss Wang turned his eyes to Yin Ruxing and smiled obscenely: "Is this your new purchase?"
Chen Wu sighed: "You can't be empty-handed. I just bought it, just a bag of grain. It's good luck if you don't leave empty-handed." Then he lowered his voice with a hint of warning: "No matter how worthless this woman is, she is still mine.
Good stuff. You know my rules, but stop being curious and ruin your own business. ~"
Boss Wang was looking Yin Ruxing up and down, and he was very curious when he saw that she was wrapped up tightly, not even a finger showing. Hearing this, he was startled, and threw out the two keys with a smile: "How can that be done? Who has that?"
I'm afraid of breaking your rules. Waiter, take Mr. Wu upstairs! We always do things according to the rules."
Chen Wu took Yin Ruxing upstairs. After the waiter opened the door to one of the upper rooms, he motioned for Yin Ruxing to go in, and he followed in. He tipped the waiter a few coins, and the waiter closed the door with a flattering smile.
In Yin Ruxing's eyes, the so-called upper room is as simple as this inn. It is very spacious, about a dozen square meters. There is a wooden bed against the wall, and a green curtain. The wooden frame, wooden basin, and paint surface are in good condition.
In addition to the seat, there is a black toilet at the corner of the bed. This is the upper room. Yin Ruxing frowned, sat down at the table, and took off his bamboo hat.
Chen Wu sat opposite her and said: "Originally, I should find a mother to accompany you. But if your appearance is spread, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. To tell you the truth, this Xunxian Town is not mine.
Territory. It is not appropriate to find someone to serve you here. I can only aggrieve you. We will stay one night and then leave. I will ask the coachman to stay outside your door at night, so you don’t have to be afraid."
Yin Ruxing nodded: "I understand what the fifth master said. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so you should be careful when going out."
Chen Wu looked at her and said meaningfully: "Do you really understand? Do you know that with your appearance, it is not difficult to find a protector in this Xunxian Town."
Yin Ruxing showed a clear smile: "Why would Fifth Master test me? Unless I stay at home. As long as I walk outside, people will eventually see my face. When word spreads, this local snake in Xunxian Town can protect me
How long do I have? I am not greedy for wealth, but if someone stronger comes to ask for it, can the protector risk his life and property to protect me? What's more, even if he sacrifices his life and property, he may not be able to protect me.
Time has passed and I have become a faded flower of yesterday. Even if I had the chance, I would not have the conditions to live a good life. Fifth Master, just don’t worry. I am just a girl who goes with the flow, and I will not cause you any trouble."
In Yin Ruxing's understanding, in a backward era, it is very dangerous for beauties to be outstanding. Places with many beauties are relatively safe for her. Beauties must be raised with good food and drink, and the poorer the place, she will stay.
The more eye-catching she is, maybe in a prosperous place, her face will become ordinary?
"Okay." Chen Wu hit the table and praised, "I saw it right, you are ambitious. Don't worry, I will find a good way out for you. If you become prosperous in the future, don't forget me."
Princess Pingyang said to the guard, "Don't forget each other even if you are rich and noble," and sent her to Liu Che's carriage. Yin Ruxing did not expect that she could hear similar words in this strange time and space, and she immediately curved her mouth, smiled, and responded obediently
: "Thank you for your good words."
That night, Yin Ruxing had dinner in the room, took a hot bath, put on a new clean white cloth coat, locked the doors and windows, pulled the bed curtains, and went to bed early. Soon he fell asleep.
***************
One night passed, the Jade Rabbit sank to the west, but the Golden Crow did not emerge. When the sky became gray, Chen Wu knocked on the door to wake her up. He personally brought hot water. Dressing, washing, urinating, and having breakfast were all done in this ten square meters.
Finished in the room. Yin Ruxing put on a bamboo hat as usual and walked out of the inn. He couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air: a new day has begun again.
The wheels of the carriage pressed against the bluestone, rattling all the way as they left the small town of Xunxian.
When they arrived at the sparsely visited official road, Chen Wu half-rolled the carriage curtain and spoke to her through half the curtain: "Miss Yin's accent is a little strange, but do you still remember where your hometown is? How did you come from this place?"
Yin Ruxing smiled bitterly: "My hometown is far away, and the customs here are very different from yours. As for how I got here, I don't know. I arrived in a mountain forest in a daze, and walked all day and night without finding a way out.
, I was hungry and tired, and I only remember that I fainted in the stream at the end. When I opened my eyes again, I arrived at the small mountain village."
Chen Wu secretly thought to himself that the villagers in Shoujia Village said that the girl floated into the village from the stream, which is consistent with the pair. He only didn't know where her hometown was and how far away it was. Then he asked: "Is the girl still here?"
Do you remember the place name of your hometown? The nearby towns and how to walk there?"
