Thorn silk gl

It was already dark when Fuwan and Baichan entered the city, and they only called themselves ordinary merchants, easily past the guards.They walked through the downtown area with their horses, and found a hotel at random, but the innkeeper immediately waved them away when they heard that they came down from the mountain.

"All are fully occupied, and no new guests are accepted." The boss covered the face towel with one hand, and looked at them as if guarding against thieves.

Fu Wan didn't understand, so he frowned: "Shopkeeper, we just need to squeeze into one room, can't this be evened out?"

The boss asked vigilantly, "Where are you from?"

This question was a bit inexplicable, but Fuwan still answered: "Jinyun City." She pointed to her horse, the saddle was newly replaced by the Jinyun City yamen, and it still had the official seal on it.

The boss looked around, hesitantly said: "He's from the north... Well, it's not impossible."

Fu Wan glanced at Bai Chan, she understood, took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and put it on the counter.

"One room, two nights."

Seeing Yin Zi, the boss's eyes lit up, and he quickly embraced her as if he was afraid of her repentance: "Okay, follow me upstairs."

Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the rein and handed it to the waiter, then raised his legs and followed the shopkeeper into the door.

In the evening, oil lamps were lit in the hotel lobby, and a yellowed pine picture was hung in the middle to welcome guests, with a plaque reading "Guests feel at home".The hall was filled with benches and tables with eight immortals. Only a few guests were having dinner, and it didn't look like it was full.

Baiyujing has a special geographical location, a large amount of jade is produced nearby, and there is the largest jade and gemstone trading market in southern Xinjiang in the city, so there are many merchants coming and going.In addition to the local people doing jade business, many people also opened hotels.Usually, it is not enough for everyone to compete for customers and business, and I have never seen customers who take the initiative to come to the door to be pushed out.

The shopkeeper lied that the store was full of customers, probably because of something tricky.

Looking at the interior decoration, the paint on the tables and chairs of the hotel is somewhat peeling, but the wood exposed under the peeling paint is very good. I think this hotel must have been open for some years, and the business may have been prosperous in the past.I just don't know what happened recently.

"What are you two doing here?" The shopkeeper chatted with the two of them. "Everywhere is in chaos after the drought. It seems that no new good mines have been opened."

Fu Wan said with a smile: "Indeed. But who told the manager to say that the master wants to buy the goods, can our subordinates refuse?"

The boss turned his head and looked up and down a few times: "You have such a style, you can't tell that you are running errands for others."

Fu Wan smiled and said nothing.

A few people chatted with each other, Fuwan paid special attention to what the boss said and did, and seemed to think that he should be just an ordinary person. Just when she was relieved, there was a sudden commotion downstairs.

Fu Wan tensed up instantly, held on to the railing, and looked downstairs.

At the entrance of the store, several people dressed as officials squeezed in. They gathered around the young man who was sweeping the floor and began to question him ferociously.The little boy was holding the broom so nervous that he was choking. He raised his eyes and saw his shopkeeper, and immediately cast his gaze for help.

The boss seemed to be used to this kind of battle, he waved his hand to signal him to hold on first, and hurriedly took out the key and handed it to Fu Wan, saying, "Someone will knock on the door later, so don't say you are new to the city! Just say you lived in the day before yesterday." , don’t forget it!”

After speaking, he started to run downstairs, but was grabbed by Fu Wan.

"Hey, you have to clarify this matter first."

The boss couldn't beat her, so after a while, he had to tell the truth. It turned out that the city had put up a list yesterday, and the hotels were not allowed to accept new guests from outside.As for the specific reason, he didn't have time to elaborate, and hurriedly pushed Fu Wan away and ran downstairs.

Fuwan and Baichan pushed the door open and entered the room. The furnishings in the room are simple and you can see to the end at a glance.

First, there is a small hall with round tables and stools. The surrounding area is very bleak. There is not even a pot of tea, and there is only a thin layer of dust. After stepping through the moon cave door with gauze curtains, you arrive at a small bedroom.

There is only a single bed, let alone a cage at the end of the bed, and there is not even a spring stool.

Fu Wan coughed lightly: "Hiss, then tonight..."

Bai Chan took a serious look: "Although this bed is a bit small, it should be enough for two people."

The tips of Fu Wan's ears turned red, thinking how could this person speak such words so naturally?No matter in Yijian Peak or Jinyun City, they both sleep in two rooms, if they share the same bed, they are still the same one today.

However, this idiot seems to have no idea at all, and is still carefully studying the thickness of people's mattresses.

Fu Wan panicked, so she simply left the room and went to the backyard to have a look at the surroundings.

The old house of the hotel is quite big. There are several green vegetable gardens and a well in the backyard. A few chickens and ducks were placed randomly, a big yellow dog was lying lazily, and even two pigs were fed, which was enough to make the best use of it.

Seeing that there was no one around, Fu Wan went to the well and took a look in.

The water is fairly clear, at least much better than the situation in Jinyun City.

Baiyujing was built on a cliff next to the Heishui River, but the river was so fast that it carried countless silt and couldn't drink it directly, so the residents in the city usually dug wells to get the clean groundwater to drink.

As long as the well is still clean, nothing major will happen to Bai Yujing in a short time.

She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she was suddenly startled by a sound behind her.

Fu Wan turned her head abruptly, and asked in a cold voice, "Who is it?"

"Oh!" The visitor was startled by her, and took a step back like a frightened bird.

——It was a little girl half the height of a person, dressed in strange clothes, with an exaggerated string of silver ornaments hanging around her neck, and the bells would jingle when she moved.

With a small bucket in her hand, she looked at her timidly.

Fu Wan relaxed: "Do you want to fetch water?"

The little girl looked bewildered, as if she couldn't understand what she was saying.Fu Wan pointed to the well at her feet, she nodded slowly, but still didn't dare to come over.

Fu Wan reluctantly backed away a few steps.

Only then did the little girl move to the well step by step, but her eyes were still firmly attached to Fu Wan's body, she was on guard all over, as if something scary was hidden on her body.

Fu Wan didn't take this episode to heart.She wandered around and went back to her room. Bai Chan had just asked the hotel for hot water and asked her if she wanted to scrub.

There is still a drought, and there is not enough water for bathing, so the two wiped it casually.Bai Chan told her that the officials had already come, and asked when they entered the city.

Fu Wan was curious: "How did you answer?"

Bai Chan pulled back her loose black hair, revealing her graceful neck.Hearing Fu Wan's question, she gave a slightly sly smile, raised her hand and tapped the silver on the table.

Fu Wan: "..." Where's that upright Bai Chan who bribes and blushes?

Miss Bai, you have learned badly.

After giving all the money, Baichan simply stopped by to inquire about the situation in the lower city.It is said that although Bai Yujing was not affected by the drought too much, he suffered from a strange and strange disease since the beginning of the year.The sick patients had high fever and talked nonsense, the cause of the disease could not be found out, and the medicine was difficult to treat, and they all fell ill one by one, which caused great panic.

Everyone suspected that it was the plague, so they all covered their faces with sackcloth, trying to reduce the infection.

"Is it really a plague?" Fu Wan thought of the little girl's eagerness to be three feet away from her just now, and was a little troubled, so she raised her hand and scratched her neck.

But Bai Chan couldn't tell. It seemed that this problem first became popular in the city.If it was really a plague, the number of people infected would be several times higher.

Fu Wan: "Who are the sick people? Foreign businessmen?"

"This is the strange thing," Bai Chan said, "It stands to reason that the plague is most likely to be infected by merchants who travel north and south, but here is different. Many people who have lived in Baiyujing for generations and have never left the city have contracted the disease. The business is very good. If it weren't for this, the city must have banned trade."

It's really weird to say that.Fu Wan secretly made a note of this.

Affected by the epidemic, the residents in the city closed their accounts early, and the city was silent.Fu Wan looked out of the window, the moonlight was so close that he could pick it up with his hand, the big city had very few lights, and it was a completely different scene from the capital city.

Bai Chan walked behind her: "What are you looking at?"

Fu Wan turned around to look at her. Under the moonlight, her thin waist was pinched by the jacket to form a beautiful arc.

Bai Chan lost his mind for a moment.When looking at it again, Fu Wan smiled and said, "Well, look at the moon."

"What's so nice about the moon?"

"Yeah, the moon is nothing to see." Fu Wan raised an eyebrow, "I don't know which one, but I prefer to sit under the moon and whistle."

Bai Chan looked down and saw that she was as proud as a little fox, she took out the bamboo whistle out of nowhere and twirled it around.

She suddenly said, "Wan'er."

Fu Wan stopped moving and looked up at her.But her eyes went dark, and she didn't see anything, because the other party suddenly leaned over, and the long and soft black hair fell down to block the thin moonlight.

soft.moist.A touch of sandalwood.

Fu Wan's breathing became short of breath, but Bai Chan said with a light smile, "How about going to the couch to rest?"

She was dizzy, and thought she really wanted to hug her to rest, but Bai Chan paused, and said: "I read some books recently, and learned a lot."

Fu Wan: "???" Learning what?

Miss Bai, there is something really wrong with you!

Want to return to thinking, but the body is very honest.She opened her arms, motioning for a hug.

Bai Chan readily agreed, and easily carried the man off the window sill, hugged him all the way to the couch, and pressed him into the mattress.

The green gauze tent hangs down, and the moonlight sways lightly, like rain hitting plantains, or like dew lingling rolling down the face of lotus.

Fu Wan has always known that Bai Chan's hands are very slender, with rough finger pads and calluses from martial arts training.She was so firm and powerful when she held the sword, and she was merciless when she held her, as if she was a different person, the coldness faded away, leaving only the sharp aggression like a sword.

She forced her to call her name.

white cicada.white cicada.A Chan.

A sound, burned into the bottom of my heart over and over again, and the touch of her fingertips.

Bai Chan leaned close to her ear and said, "I've been thinking since the first time we met, such a nice voice, just let me listen to it."

Fuwan made her panic with embarrassment, her ears were hot and soft, and her whole body seemed to be melting.

Her eyes were covered with sweat or tears, and she gave her a wet look: "Nonsense. Obviously... Mingming..." Mingming pretended to be so indifferent at that time, but now he is deceiving.

"Mingming" was followed by many words of accusation, but her mind was hot, she murmured and repeated it twice, and forgot everything she wanted to say.

They were in a hurry just now, they didn't even close the windows, and the night breeze blew in coolly.

In the darkness, Bai Chan seemed to smile: "That day in the underground palace, you said you wanted to worship heaven and earth with me. Although you haven't worshiped now, the whole world has seen the flowers and candles in our bridal chamber, but you can't regret it."

Fu Wan: "..." Isn't this person ashamed to talk nonsense?

However, as if to cater to Bai Chan's words, the clouds were pushed away by the wind, and the moonlight shone softly into the room again, which happened to illuminate the clasped hands of the two.

In any case, the witness of heaven and earth cannot be denied.
