On the city wall, officers and soldiers announced to the people below that the city gate would be opened for a while.
Outside the city, the carriage belonging to Shi Xiaoliu and the others was sold successfully, and the buyer took the carriage and left directly.
So much so that Shi Xiaoliu and the others suspected that they had sold the carriage cheaply.
But the comments from people around them still let them know that the price given by the buyer was very fair.
It’s just that there is less storage fee to be paid to the horse farm than when they buy a carriage in the city.
Shi Xiaoliu asked about the storage fee out of curiosity. The man pointed out his fingers and said, "If you take the carriage to a racecourse to sell it, you will also have to pay the same fee."
城Under the door, more and more people were queuing up, but the voices of discussion became muffled.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others decided to enter the city. At this time, they were also lined up behind the long queue. They listened to the discussions of the people around them.
“Something uncontrollable must have happened in the city.”
Some people whispered, and some were recalling: “It seems that more than ten years ago, there was a time when everyone was waiting outside the city. Open the city gate.”
"What happened that time?"
"I don't remember. The elders in the family didn't inquire about the news later.
I am going to the city to go to my aunt's house today. Otherwise, I There will be no more queues now."
At three o'clock, the city gate opened, and the crowd surged forward, and someone shouted loudly: "Get in line, don't jump in line."< br>
The people entering the city moved forward slowly. By the time Shi Xiaoliu and the others arrived at the city gate to check, more than half an hour had passed.
The officers and soldiers who checked them looked very serious. They asked them when they lined up outside the city gate, and asked them if they had seen inappropriate people or things since they arrived.
Shi Xiaoliu and the other three shook their heads at the same time, indicating that it was already very late when they arrived.
They just wanted to wait outside the city gate for half the night. After the city gate opened, they went into the city to find an inn and have a good rest for another day.
After Shi Xiaoliu and the others entered the city, they went directly to Shengjia Inn.
The Shengjia Inn is located near the government office. When Shi Xiaoliu and the others came, there happened to be three medium-sized rooms unused.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others, led by the waiter, went up to the second floor to look at the room, and the three of them decided to stay.
The waiter in the shop whispered to them: "The guests staying above you will rest in the inn during the day. They will go out at night if they have something to do. You can rest peacefully."
Shi Xiaoliu and the others After looking at each other, they suppressed their curiosity and did not ask the waiter for more information.
The three of them entered the room, asked for hot water to take a bath, and washed their clothes themselves.
When the waiter saw them washing their clothes, he was surprised and said to the three of them: "Sir, we have a washerwoman in our inn to clean clothes for our guests."
Shi Xiaoliu smiled, and Shi Zelan said with a smile: "We are traveling abroad, and we are still used to washing our clothes by ourselves, so we won't bother the people in your inn."
Xia Yuze and the waiter asked about the things in the city Delicious food. After hearing that there was a vegetarian restaurant, Xia Yu immediately asked the waiter where it was.
After the three of them left the inn, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "The waiter is too enthusiastic."
Shi Zelan nodded and said: "People should do their duty."
Xia Yu smiled and said: "The room is clean, let's live in it first."
The three of them walked around the city and finally went to a vegetarian restaurant. They ordered two or three dishes at random, and then listened to the guests in the restaurant discussing the fact that the city gate had not been opened for a long time today.
“I heard people say that there are many corpses of men in black piled up on the city wall.”
“They are not corpses, but seriously injured men in black. They have been sent to the Chengdong Medical Center. Went for treatment.”
“That doctor is good at treating broken hands and legs. Last time, my neighbor’s boy broke his leg, and their doctor came to see him.”
"Did those men in black go up to the city wall to fight in the middle of the night?" "People living on the edge of the city said they didn't hear anything in the middle of the night."
"They must not be good people."
"I think they must be chivalrous and righteous Jianghu people. After knowing their bad things, they were sent to the city wall and handed over to the government to deal with. "
"Shh, don't say anything outside, walls have ears."
"I know, but uncle, aren't you curious?
Do you want to go find out the news with Uncle Lin? "
"You, Uncle Lin, won't pay attention to me if you say anything nonsense. "
Shi Xiaoliu and the other three looked at each other. They had their meal and then walked around the city for a while.
Shi Xiaoliu suggested: "We'd better go to the teahouse. Sit back and listen to a local storyteller? ”
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu both agreed with his proposal, and they really can’t wander around the city any longer. Someone is already watching them secretly.
They turned into an alley at random, and there happened to be a teahouse inside.
After Shi Xiaoliu and the others looked at the door number of the teahouse outside, the three of them entered the teahouse.
There are no vacant private rooms upstairs in the tea house.
Even in the lobby, there are no good seats. There are only empty tables at the door and in the back.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others went to look at the innermost seat. They all felt that sitting in that place felt airless.
The three of them chose a table slightly closer to the door. They ordered a pot of tea and prepared to spend some time in this teahouse.
They asked the waiter and found out that the storyteller’s apprentices would take turns coming to the teahouse to tell stories in the afternoon.
If the guests like the stories they tell, they can give them a reward or two.
While the waiter was talking, he also paid attention to the expressions of Shi Xiaoliu and the others.
When he saw Shi Xiaoliu frowning, he quickly explained: "The novel writers who come to our teahouse to tell stories are all about to start teaching.
His master was kind-hearted and begged our employer to give him such an opportunity.
If the guests feel that their presentation is not good, we will also ask them to leave the stage early. "
Shi Xiaoliu nodded and said: "Very good, your boss is also a good person. "
After the waiter left, he came back quickly and brought a small box of boiled beans. He said to Shi Xiaoliu and the others: "The boss said that you are guests from out of town. Please try our local beans." beans. "
Shi Xiaoliu and the others stood up and raised their teacups to the host sitting at the counter.
The boss stood up, raised the cup in his hand, and signaled to Shi Xiaoliu and the others.
After Shi Xiaoliu and the others sat down, people in the teahouse began to talk: "These are new customers. The host must have given them beans cooked at home."
" I don’t know how to cook their beans. The last time I asked my cook to cook them, they were not as delicious as the beans here.”
Shi Xiaoliu and the other three tasted the beans and looked up at each other in surprise. look.
Shi Xiaoliu sent a message to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "There is a slight amount of spiritual energy stored in these beans. People in the secular world can recuperate their bodies after eating them."
"Next time we come here, we can have boiled beans with tea, and there is no need to order anything else."
Shi Zelan nodded with the same feeling: "You can come and sit in this teahouse." (End of Chapter)
