Qiao Yi

After seven or eight days of doing this, they still hadn't covered half of the journey.

The weather looks to be getting worse these past two days.

On this day, before noon, the sky was overcast and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. Looking at the sky, I was afraid that a big snowstorm was coming.The strong wind made it difficult for the horses to walk, and there was no way to go in front of the village or back to the store at the moment. If they couldn't find a place to hide from the wind and snow, it was very likely that when the heavy snow came, their group of people would probably take their horses with them and let the snow fall. If he was buried alive on this road, he would freeze to death for sure.

This is why few people choose to travel in winter, because they are afraid of encountering such severe weather like snowstorms on the road.

And now unfortunately, let their group meet.

"Hurry up, hurry up. I remember that on the way here, there is an inn in front of us. Let's go there..." Steward Zhang anxiously told the coachman to hurry on the road, but the horses he was pulling were not allowed to be beaten by the coachman, and the horses refused to move. before, spinning in place.

At this time, everyone had no choice but to get out of the carriage, the coachman and the people in the carriage. Someone was pushing behind, and the coachman was pulling the horse in front and pulling the horse forward.

Only Qiao Yi was still in the carriage. Firstly, he was not in good health, and he might collapse after going down a few steps; secondly, if he went down to blow the wind outside, it was hard to say whether he would survive tonight.At this time, he didn't want to fall ill, so as not to cause trouble to everyone, so at this moment, he was the only one who was still sitting in the carriage, letting the horses and people pull him away.

After the sky had completely darkened, they arrived at the inn that Manager Zhang had mentioned.

This is a wild shop on the side of the road, which is specially provided for passing businessmen and travelers to pick up points on the road.

Manager Zhang asked the boy following him to knock on the door, and the waiter in the store came over and opened the door for them to enter.Seeing them coming in, the shopkeeper in the store asked with a smile, "A few guest officers, please, are you going to stay in the store?"

In this weather, I must be staying at the hotel. Are you going to leave now?Definitely won't leave!

Manager Zhang said, "We're going to stay in a hotel. Do you have any rooms here? We need three rooms."

"Guests are really sorry. There are many customers today, and the rooms in the store are almost full. There are only two vacant rooms. How about a few guests, why don't you squeeze them in and stay first?" the shopkeeper said embarrassingly.

It turned out that when they arrived, someone had already arrived one step earlier than them, and the vacant rooms in the inn were almost full, so there were only two vacant rooms at this time.

There are seven of them here. During the journey, Qiao Yi's master and servant shared a room with three people, and the other four people lived in a room with two people.

But at this time, they had no choice, so they could only make do with it.

"Two rooms, just two rooms." Guanshi Zhang said with a frown.

As soon as he walked into this inn, Qiao Yi felt something was wrong.First of all, there was a problem with the waiter who received them. No matter how he pretended to be, he was not a real waiter. Judging from the waiter's walking posture and footsteps, he could be sure that the waiter was a person who knew martial arts.

There are thick calluses on the tiger's mouth on the hand of the shopkeeper who is fiddled with the abacus. It looks like someone who has been holding a knife all year round.

There are also men dressed as businessmen sitting here in the lobby. When Qiao Yi saw them coming in, Qiao Yi noticed the posture of the man with his back to him, sitting slightly sideways. A person's defense is strong, which means that he is always on guard against someone sneaking up on him from behind.Hearing that someone was coming, the man just turned his body slightly, looked at them from the corner of his eye, and didn't turn around completely.

There is only one woman in this group of men, and the position of the woman is facing the door, which is the direction they came in.

Qiao Yi didn't meet the woman's eyes, but he could feel that the woman was looking at them unscrupulously, as if she was judging their origins.

Is this one a black shop?Who are these people?Qiao Yi had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show any strangeness.He knew that once he let these people know that he found something wrong with them, it was likely that they would be silenced immediately.

Do you want to say that this one is a black shop?Qiao Yi didn't feel like it.

But what he was sure of was that no matter whether this inn was a black shop or not, the inn they came in today was not a good place.And at this time, the snowstorm was coming outside. If they left at this time, they would definitely have no chance of surviving.Therefore, they can only gamble and stay!

"Several guest officials, please go upstairs." The waiter led them upstairs, and led them to the upstairs room.

There were only two vacant rooms upstairs, Qiao Yi continued to take his two servants to one room, and Zhang Guanshi had four people to one room, and it was enough to ask the waiter to add two more quilts.

They had their own quilts here, and Wang Dahu carried the quilts from the carriage up, so they didn't need to ask the waiter for quilts.

Qiao Yi and Zhang Guanshi nodded slightly, and then led his people into the house.

When you are away from home, the accommodation environment will definitely not be very good, and this kind of wild shop on the roadside is only a place for pedestrians to stay, and it will not be much better.

As soon as they walked in, there was a musty smell, and it looked like a place where no one had lived in for a long time.

The quilt on the bed was so dark that it was unknown how long it had been since it had been washed, and how many people had slept on it.

Qiao Yi is a bit of a clean freak, even in the most difficult time of the last days, he is not someone who can fall asleep in any messy place.So after arriving in this world, if he had a choice, he would try his best to keep the place he lived in as tidy and clean as possible.Under his influence, Xiao Chuliu and Wang Dahu who follow him are both good and clean kids.

"Master, I'll make the bed." They lived outside along the way, and they covered themselves with the quilts they brought. Chu Liu looked at the dirty quilts on the bed in distaste, and asked Wang Dahu to pull the dirty quilts off. , piled it to the corner, Chu Liu spread the clean quilt they brought themselves.

Qiao Yi sat on the chair, the water on the table was cold, he didn't touch the water on the table.

"Master, I'll go get some water and ask the waiter for some food." When they went out, they also brought a small copper pot for boiling water and a small pot for cooking, just to prevent them from going out. In the suburban ridge, there is still a pot for boiling water and cooking.

Wang Dahu took the small copper pot they brought with them, and was ready to go out to fetch water and food.

Qiao Yi grabbed Wang Dahu's neighbor, took his palm, and wrote two words on his palm: Be careful.

Over the past few years, Wang Dahu and Chu Liu followed him, and Qiao Yi taught them how to read and write.

The sixth day of junior high school is a bit basic. I think someone taught him to read and write when he was at home.Wang Dahu didn't know a single word at first, but this child was willing to learn with his heart.Qiao Yi thought that one student was teaching, and two students were also teaching, so he taught them together. He usually taught them how to read and count. Also know how to count.

Wang Dahu glanced at their young master, didn't ask anything, just nodded, and went out.

After the bed was made, Qiao Yi sat down on the bed, still thinking about the people in this inn.

As soon as he entered this room, he used his ability to detect that there were about seven or eight people in the next room.In the room beyond, there were five people, and there were six or seven people in the opposite room...

The doors and windows of several rooms were closed tightly, and it looked like no one lived outside.

Except for the slight sound from next door, the people in the other rooms sat quietly.

So in this way, the number of people in such a small inn is really amazing!Could it be that everyone gathered together and ran to this inn to escape the wind and snow?Qiao Yi didn't really think so.

There are so many of them here, if the heavy snow falls for too long, the road will be blocked by the heavy snow, and they will not be able to get out of it, and they will not be able to eat all the food, and people will be hungry. I really can't imagine what he would do...Qiao Yi remembered that in the last days, when surrounded by zombies and food was cut off, some people resolutely raised their hands to their companions in order to survive He killed his companions and divided the corpses to eat, just for the chance of survival.

So when people have nowhere to go, it is really possible to do anything.

Of course, Qiao Yi hoped that they would have better luck in going out this time, and not encounter the things he thought above.

There is a charcoal basin in the room, and there are some charcoal blocks in the corner. On the sixth day of the first day, I put the carbon blocks in the charcoal basin and ignited them.Chu Liu put his hand under his mouth and exhaled, and asked their young master, "Master, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

What he is most afraid of right now is that their young master will get sick.

"I'm not uncomfortable. It's you, come up on the bed and lie down with me." Qiao Yi moved inside and let the boy come up.

He knew that everyone went down to pull the cart just now, and the cold wind was blowing for so long, it must be very cold.

They have been sleeping in the same bed these days, and it is not that they have slept in the same bed with their young master on the sixth day of the junior high school, so now their young master asked him to go to bed, and he took off his shoes and socks, Got into the bed and went.

Qiao Yi held Chu Liu's hand and found it was colder than his.

"Young master, don't touch my hand, my hand is cold, it will be warm later." Chu Liu withdrew his hand, afraid that his hand would be cold to their precious young master.

Wang Dahu went out for a while before he came back, brought up a pot of hot water, and ordered some food from the kitchen.

At this time, they were all hungry, and when they saw something to eat on the first day of the lunar new year, they had to grab it. Qiao Yi grabbed his hand and made a silent gesture with his fingers on his lips. They all knew this gesture. What's the meaning.Then, after trying it with a silver needle, he took it up and smelled it, then tore it open a bit and tasted it with his tongue, and let the two of them eat it after making sure there was no problem.

Chu Liu looked at their young master with doubts in his eyes, as if asking if there is any problem?

"Let's eat." Qiao Yi shook his head slightly, and asked Xiao Chu Liu to eat.

Seeing that the young master allowed him to eat, Chu Liu moved his chopsticks and ate his food obediently, but his eyes always looked at their young master from time to time.

Qiao Yi patted the back of Xiao Chuliu's hand and told him to eat and not talk.Then he dipped his finger in the water and asked Wang Dahu what happened when he went out just now.Before going out just now, Wang Dahu went out again after being reminded by their young master. After careful observation, he really found a lot of problems, so the two of them communicated on the table in this way.
