We obviously set out on the road before dawn the first day, but now we stopped? This little lady’s temperament is really hard to figure out!
"I think you are just overthinking. We have been out escorting for many years. In terms of the weather, we should be more experienced, right? How can a little lady like her predict when the weather will happen today? It's raining.
Don't make this little lady a myth just because you saw the injuries on those two people." Another escort couldn't help but interjected and expressed his opinion.
It does rain during the alternation of autumn and winter, but it is very rare.
"When you get to a place where you can shelter from the rain, make a pot of medicinal soup to dispel the cold and drink it, otherwise your iron body will not be able to bear it." The older man also frowned and said.
That being said, however, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the road was getting muddier, and the forward speed could not be increased at all.
He was worried that people would not be able to carry it, and he was also worried that the horses pulling the goods would get sick.
As soon as they finished speaking, the carriages and horses stopped. Several people rushed forward to see what was going on, but it turned out that the lead carriage had fallen into a mud pit. The escorts hurriedly pulled and pushed, and with great difficulty The car was pulled out of the mud pit. The person who pulled the car and pushed it was also covered in mud and water and was in a miserable state.
“Did you choose the right time to go out this time?” Someone whispered in a low voice.
Some people thought that the second lady was very lucky, but another thought was wrong. Even if the second lady did not go back and continued walking, she must have stayed in the carriage in this weather, and would not be exposed to the rain. Can't bear the guilt.
Tang Xihua, who has been traveling as a escort all year round, has never experienced worse weather than this, but his mood has never been so bad as now.
He didn't know whether he was annoyed about the weather or worried that the escorts would catch the cold and get sick. But, if it wasn't for these two reasons, what else could it be?
Anfu Inn in Cangwang Town, Hong Xiaoduo learned that there is also a canteen in the inn, but guests need to make reservations one hour in advance, number of people, and ordering.
So Hong Xiaoduo ordered stewed pork ribs, crucian carp soup, and mutton stewed with radish.
When it was lunch time, the waiter came over to greet us.
It's not far from the small shop to the dining hall. There are corridors along the way, so you don't even need an umbrella.
Besides her and the seven children, there were only five diners in the dining hall. When the waiter laughed and said that these guests were introduced by God, Hong Xiaoduo looked at those people and wet his eyes. With her hair in a bun, she understood that it was because of the heavy rain that she had to stay in the inn during the day.
After all, we were taking shelter from the rain somewhere else on the side of the road, and there was no place to change our wet clothes.
The pork ribs were stewed very soft, and the little ones ate them very deliciously. They had to chew the bones before putting them down. The fish soup is stewed white, smells fragrant and tastes delicious.
Children are growing up, and fish, meat, eggs, etc. are indispensable. Hong Xiaoduo also tries to order as little fried food as possible when ordering, only once every three to five o'clock.
In terms of staple food, she is not as refined as she requires, and she also has to eat whole grains.
The waiter served the five guests delicious food. When he passed Hong Xiaoduo's table, he saw the seven children eating so deliciously and couldn't help but stop and watch.
"Brother, could you please say hello to the kitchen? If there is any fish with less spines, braise one for us in the evening. Then, we will have a portion of mutton liver and minced meat custard. What are the vegetarian dishes? Just give us a plate.
We want to eat tomorrow morning. Steamed buns stuffed with shredded beef and radish, about 25 will be enough. Tomorrow at noon, I’ll have a chestnut chicken, a lamb tripe soup, and two vegetarian dishes. I haven’t thought of it yet, but I’ll make an order for tomorrow noon. "After Hong Xiaoduo finished talking to the clerk, he was not sure whether the clerk could remember clearly what he had said.
Hearing that she had even ordered the lunch menu for the next day, not only was the waiter a little surprised, but the five guests at the table next to her also looked over. Why did she plan to stay there permanently? "Little lady, the rain will probably stop in the evening. We can start our journey tomorrow. If you don't leave tomorrow, are you waiting here?" One of the five couldn't help but ask.
He also saw that the young lady's clothes did not look like those raised in a boudoir, so he dared to ask her questions.
Having determined that the weather conditions reported by this bracelet were reliable, Hong Xiaoduo responded: "The rain will indeed stop in the evening, but I guess it will continue to rain tomorrow afternoon. Moreover, the rainfall will only be heavier than today.
We have nothing urgent to do, so we might as well stay here for one more day.
If you have nothing urgent to do, you might as well. Stay here for one more day, the chef here is really good at cooking, the price of the inn is fair, the bedding is clean, the waiter is diligent and enthusiastic, rest up and wait until the weather really clears up before setting off, you can also make up for the lost time Come back.”
Looking at the sitting postures and heroic demeanor of these five people, Hong Xiaoduo guessed that they should be soldiers in the army. With their upright eyes, they looked like upright men. Therefore, I couldn't help but make a kind proposal. As for whether the other party would believe it or not, it was their own business.
After listening to her words, the five of them exchanged glances with each other and smiled: "Thank you, little lady, for reminding me. I will make a decision based on the weather tomorrow morning."
This response, although it can be regarded as telling her that they do not believe that it will rain more heavily tomorrow than it did today, it is still a tactful reply.
Hong Xiaoduo would not be annoyed by such a trivial matter. He nodded with a smile and reached out to scoop out half a bowl of fish soup for Yao Guang.
The five guests ate better than Hong Xiaoduo and the others. When they passed by their table, they accidentally glanced at the table and found that both the plates and the soup bowl were empty.
There was no leftover dry food on the table, only cleanly chewed bones. He couldn't help but look back at the remaining food on his table.
“Children know not to waste, let’s eat less next time.” One of the colleagues said.
The other four also think what he said makes sense. In today's world, many people still don't have enough to eat! They still waste food, which is really unjustifiable.
"But why are those seven children hairless?" He wanted to know this more than being curious about the relationship between the young lady and the seven children.
Looking at those seven children, they all look pretty and well-dressed, but why did they shave their heads?
"Qifeng, if you are so curious, you might as well ask for details." A smile said.
Qifeng rolled his eyes at his companions and said: "It sounds like you are not curious. I am a military commander, but I am not a reckless man. I am short-sighted and I am not familiar with them, so I went to ask about this."< br>
When a few people returned to their rooms and passed by Xiaotongpu, they heard a childish and crisp voice reciting from inside: "Goose goose, Qu Xiang sings to the sky, white hair floats on the green water, and anthurium stirs the clear waves."
“Mom, I can carry it. "
"Okay, Yaoguang is so smart, I will reward you with a piece of peanut cake. "The other woman's voice in response made Qifeng stagger and almost sprained his ankle.
Looking at his other companions, they also had shocked expressions.
That little lady is actually a mother. How old is she? No, this is not the point. Why can’t you tell that she is a little woman at all...
