Zhuge Yan, who was defeated by others, had no choice but to succumb to reality even though he was unwilling to do so.
Huang Qiong gave up his horse and let Zhuge Yan ride on it. The two led the horse and drove slowly. Finally, after traveling for two or three miles, they saw a large inn on the roadside far ahead.
This inn is located in an area with no village in front or behind, and its name is not very innovative. Four red lanterns were hung outside the gate, with the four characters "Yelai Inn" written on it. Under the dim night, the lights were brightly lit, and there were many figures. Chuo, business seems to be good.
The attitude of the waiter in the store seemed a little less than attentive. After Huang Qiong shouted for a long time, a waiter with a droopy face came out without saying a word to lead the horse to feed the grass. The two of them would not talk to a waiter. After getting angry, he shook his head and stepped into this prosperous inn from the main entrance.
After entering the inn, Zhuge Yan looked at the guests dining in the inn lobby and found that Guo Fei she was looking for was not among them. She sighed in her heart, while Huang Qiong said to the person on the counter: "We want to I want to stay in a hotel!¡±
Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper in Qingshan raised his head, looked at the two of them for a while, and then said with a smile: "You two are so lucky. After the summer, you can share a room together for 300 yuan a night. Thank you Shenghui!"
"There's only one room?" Huang Qiong was startled for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Zhuge Yan's voice rang out, "How can there be only one room? Didn't you see there are two of us!"
Zhuge Yan had lost track of Guo Fei and was already a little impatient, and now she couldn't speak in a good tone.
The shopkeeper asked curiously: "Don't you two know each other?" Seeing Huang Qiong nodding, the shopkeeper said to himself, "That's it. Since we know each other, it doesn't matter if we share the same room. The bed in our guest room is quite spacious, so the two of us can Let¡¯s sleep together, no problem at all!¡±
"You!" Zhuge Yan naturally refused, but it was difficult to explain, so she just stared at the waiter angrily.
The waiter in the shop said inexplicably: "Why is your guest so angry? Oh! Is it because you are not used to sleeping on the same bed with others? It doesn't matter. I will just add a plank bed for you two. The plank bed is harder, so you can sleep on it." It¡¯s not that comfortable to get up.¡±
Zhuge Yan still wanted to refuse, but Huang Qiong next to him said: "Okay, we want this room, just give us an extra bed!" After Huang Qiong said this, he said again, "Brother Ge, When you are away from home, you can only adapt to the situation and keep it simple. I will be aggrieved for the time being. Moreover, I have to write a storybook tonight, and I will probably stay up all night, so you can just sleep on that bed. I can just lean on the wooden bed when I'm tired!"
Hearing this, Zhuge Yan's originally frowning eyebrows relaxed a little. Looking at Huang Qiong's sincere eyes, he hesitated and finally nodded and held on.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper took the key from the cabinet and ordered a waiter to lead the two of them upstairs.
First, he couldn't chase anyone, and then he had to share a room with a strange man. Zhuge Yan was also in a bad mood. While thinking about his own worries, he followed Huang Qiong and followed the waiter up the long and narrow corridor, but he didn't go far. He stepped forward, but unexpectedly bumped his forehead. When he saw it in shock, he actually bumped into Huang Qiong's back.
"Why don't you leave" Zhuge Yan rubbed her forehead, with a slightly red face, and was about to complain, but she realized that the initiator was the waiter who led the way.
It turned out that the path was blocked by two men at some point in the narrow corridor. These two men were clearly not people to be trifled with. The first one was a muscular man with a curly beard. At this moment, he was using a slightly surprised expression. He looked at Zhuge Yan with his eyes.
Zhuge Yan was also a little surprised, because this person turned out to beKou Chongguan, who had not been separated in the tea house for a while!
Why is he here?
Zhuge Yan and Huang Qiong had the same question in their minds, and Kou Chongguan, who had twinkling eyes, might have the same idea.
However, the few of them just made eye contact and said nothing more. Kou Chongguan said to the waiter: "I want the wine and food you brought up, but there is still no movement. Could it be that the money grandpa gave me is not money?" "
The waiter changed his previous attitude towards Zhuge Yan and Huang Qiong, and immediately bowed and said with a smile: "There is only one chef in this small shop. How can these many dishes be cooked in a short time by the few uncles? But the little one has already I ordered it to be done for a few people first, I think it won¡¯t be long before it¡¯s ready.¡±
Kou Chongguan originally wanted to scold him a few words, but perhaps he was concerned about Zhuge Yan, so he just snorted and gave up. The waiter still smiled and said with a smile: "When the dishes are ready, I will serve them to you." A few jugs of good wine to make amends to the uncles."
Under the waiter's small smile, Kou Chongguan didn't want to cause trouble, so he gave up and watched the waiter send the two away until they disappeared from sight. He also explained to Zhuge Yan and others behind him, He just continued to lead the two of them to walk
The inn only has two floors, Huang Qiong and Zhuge Yan¡¯s rooms.??The last room at the end of the corridor. When passing one of the rooms, there was a longing figure inside. It should be the room where Kou Chongguan and others lived.
After entering the room, the waiter lit the candle in the room and was about to push out
Huang Qiong took out a few copper coins from his arms, stopped the waiter and asked quietly: "Brother, waiter, can I ask you something?"
When the waiter saw Huang Qiong's money, he didn't have much reaction for a while. It wasn't until Huang Qiong stuffed the copper coins into his hand that he responded somewhat slowly: "Sir, what do you want to know about?"
Huang Qiong whispered: "I wonder if you have ever seen a huqin artist with a dirty face passing by?"
The waiter did not rush to put the money in his arms, but immediately shook his head and said: "Huqin artist? I have never seen him before."
Huang Qiong said "Oh" in disappointment, and said again: "If someone suspects this Huqin artist passes by later, you can just tell me!"
While Huang Qiong was talking, he took out a few big coins from his arms and stuffed them into the waiter's hand.
This time, the waiter was quite happy to put all the money in his arms, responded repeatedly, and then withdrew.
During this process, although Zhuge Yan didn't say a word, he saw all Huang Qiong's actions and secretly praised in his heart that this person is really warm-hearted. Alas, it's just a pity for the Wu family. Miss, I don¡¯t know now
Zhuge Yan shook her head, forcing herself not to think about those unbearable scenes, but then she saw Huang Qiong's back to him, staring blankly at the closed door.
Zhuge Yan was not used to being alone, and the current atmosphere was a bit weird, so she looked at Huang Qiong's back under the swaying candlelight, determined to break the silence, and couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about?"
"Me?" Huang Qiong's body trembled, and then he slowly turned around and said in a faint tone, "I'm wondering if this is a black shop!"
