Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

In a noodle shop in Xinying County, Cheng Wan and the other five were sitting in a circle around a table drinking noodle soup.

Cheng Erping swallowed the hot soup in his mouth and sighed with satisfaction, "It feels so comfortable."

"Eat quickly, let's continue on our way after eating."

Cheng Wan held the bowl and said without raising her head.

Cheng Erping opened his mouth and said in surprise: "Awan, it's snowing so hard, should we continue on our way?

I thought we would find an inn to stay at after dinner and continue our journey tomorrow morning. "

"There is still some time before dark. Let's continue on our way and reach Wentong Hotel before dark.

It would be nice to go a little further south, and stop here in Xinying County. Who knows when the snow will get lighter or stop?

If the snow continues and the snow on the ground becomes thicker and thicker, it will be more difficult to travel by then. "

It has been snowing heavily for at least three hours, and the snow on the ground can already cover the feet of pedestrians.

By the time Cheng Wan and the others arrived at Wentong Hotel in the dark, the snow on the ground had reached people's ankles.

"Shopkeeper, two herringbone rooms."

Cheng Wan's eyebrows and eyelashes were still stained with snowflakes, which made her already flawless little face look even more pure and pure. The dim lighting in the store and the frozen pink on her left and right cheeks and corners of her eyes added a bit of beauty to the whole face. .

The shopkeeper of Wentong Hotel, whose surname is Wang, looks to be about the same age as Mrs. Lin.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at Cheng Wan and smiled very kindly, "There are two rooms with herringbone numbers. Girl, please keep the room number plates.

Our store provides two buckets of hot water for free. If you need it, just ask the waiter to bring it to you. "

Cheng Wan smiled politely at Shopkeeper Wang, "Thank you."

"Oh, thank you, you're so pitiful, look at this frozen person.

Who is it? Erfa, Xiao Wu, you two go out and help unload the things. Remember to settle the two carriages after unloading the things. "

Xiao Wu curled his lips and whispered to the second-hand man next to him as he walked out: "Look at the smile of the shopkeeper, he likes good-looking people!

Why are two barrels of hot water provided for free? Obviously, only one barrel of hot water is provided for free. If you want more, you have to pay for it! "

Erfa glanced at Xiao Wu and said, "You don't like good-looking people?

That girl is really, really good-looking.

No wonder the shopkeeper was so kind to her. "

Xiao Wu thought about Cheng Wan's face and said, "Oh, we'd better work quickly, otherwise the shopkeeper will curse again.

Who makes us look average? "

With the help of two waiters, Cheng Wan and the others quickly unloaded the things in the carriage to the guest room upstairs.

It's pitch black outside, heavy snowfall, and freezing wind. The lights in the store are dim, and the food is steaming and fragrant.

Cheng Wan gnawed on the chicken legs and suddenly felt that if it weren't for the fact that she was still far away from home, this feeling would actually be pretty good.

There is an inexplicable sense of security.

Cheng Wan was enjoying this sense of security when she suddenly heard a noise outside Wentong Hotel.

Cheng Erping was still chewing chicken in his mouth. He looked towards the door curiously, "Come to stay at the hotel? It's later than us."

Erfa closed the door, sighed, and said: "It's an officer leading a group of refugees, they should be heading north.

Taking them with them, they went to the inn opposite.

It's such a cold day and there's such heavy snow, it's really hard for these refugees. "

The curiosity in Cheng Erping's eyes was gone. He had not forgotten that the Cheng family also fled from Liangzhou.

Cheng Wan finished the tea in the cup and said warmly: "You guys eat slowly, I'll go upstairs first."

Cheng Wan planned to go up and peel off the warm-up patch on her body first, and then take the time to wash up and get into bed. She was tired after a long day's driving.

Just as Cheng Wan was about to get up, a woman's shrill shout suddenly erupted outside.

"This is mine! Mine!"

"Whoever grabs it belongs to whom! Get out of the way! If you mess around again, I'll beat you up!"

"Son of a bitch! Give me my rice ball!"

"what!"

"Xiao Pan! You bastard! I'll fight you!"

"What are you doing? You're not tired, are you?

Someone might be taking a rest in the hotel opposite, disturbing others while they're sleeping. Be careful, they'll come to settle a score with you! "

"Master! This shameless thing stole my rice balls!"

In the end, Cheng Wan and the others only heard the woman say this sentence of complaint, and nothing else was heard.

He must have been stopped by the official.

Cheng Erping took a bite of the pancake and muttered: "If I heard correctly, that girl's name seems to be the same as my aunt's, both are called Xiao Pan."

Deng Xiong gnawed on the chicken and said casually: "Second brother, could that woman be your aunt?"

Cheng Erping glared, "Impossible!

My aunt's character is not like this. Among my mother and three sisters, my aunt is the softest and has the best temper. "

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows in disbelief and stood up, "I'm going upstairs."

Almost as soon as Cheng Wan finished speaking, a man's panic-filled shout suddenly rang out.

"Xiao Pan! What's wrong with you, Xiao Pan? Wake up!

Lin Pan! "

Cheng Wan paused in his steps and turned around, "Second brother? Do you want to go take a look?"

Cheng Erping was about to put a chopstick of food into his mouth. He froze and looked up at Cheng Wan, "No...can't? It's impossible..."

Cheng Erping said it was impossible, but the hand holding the chopsticks was already shaking unconsciously.

Cheng Wan walked out and said calmly: "Is it possible? We'll find out if we go and see."

With a plop, Cheng Erping brought the stool over with him when he stood up.

Before leaving the Wentong Hotel, Cheng Erping could still follow Cheng Wan steadily.

After leaving the door, Cheng Erping threw up his arms and ran to the opposite side, "Awan, I'm going to take a look first. I won't be back right away."

Cheng Wan, Deng Xiong, Yan Qiu, and He Chunlai were walking behind. When they arrived at the door of the inn, Cheng Erping had not yet come out.

Cheng Wan suddenly understood that he might have really met Aunt Cheng Erping.

Sure enough, when Cheng Wan and the others entered the stable, they saw many refugees sitting and lying in the stable, and a dozen more refugees standing in a circle.

These refugees were all dressed in ragged clothes and unkempt. Although they were tied with dry straw to keep out the cold, they still looked skinny.

Not to mention, it was a bit scary to see such a group of people suddenly at night.

The dozen or so people gathered in a circle at the refugee center were Cheng Erping and a skinny and skinny woman lying on a haystack with her hair pulled back.

Cheng Erping shook the woman's arm lightly, his face full of anxiety, "Auntie? Auntie!"

"Second brother."

No matter which way you look at it, Cheng Wan and this stable are too incompatible.

When the refugees in the stable saw Cheng Wan taking the lead, they instinctively shrank and hid aside.

One of the men lowered his head even further.

"Awan!

She is really my aunt! "

Cheng Wan frowned and looked at the woman on the haystack, "Are you sure? Don't get the wrong person?"

Cheng Erping hurriedly pushed back the woman's hair on the right side, "My aunt has a red heart-shaped birthmark behind her ear. Look, it's unmistakable!"

Cheng Wan leaned over and bent to look at where Cheng Erping was pointing.

Although it is very dirty, you can definitely tell that there is a heart-shaped birthmark behind the ear.

Cheng Wan stood up with a solemn expression, "Second brother, I'm going to find their leading officer. You carry my aunt and go to the other side."
