The Red Mansion's Traversal Raiders

The sky was dark, the rain was strong and windy, the raindrops hit the roof of the carriage, and the sound was so loud that people couldn't help but worry.

There was only one carriage on the official road, and it was driving in the wind and rain.Hua Zifang lifted the bamboo hat and wiped the rainwater off her face.He squinted his eyes, and through the heavy rain curtain, the outline of an inn loomed in his sight.

Hua Zifang's eyes lit up, she waved her whip, and drove towards the inn.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the inn.

Because of the heavy rain, there was no one on the official road, and there were no guests in the lobby, only the waiter was sitting at the table by the door, wiping the table boredly.As soon as he heard the neighing of the horse, the waiter jumped up, holding an umbrella, and walked out the door.

"My lord, please come inside!" The waiter smiled fawningly and bowed.

"Let's pull the carriage to the backyard. My horse has been walking in the rain for a day today, and I have to trouble the little brother to feed it." Hua Zifang smiled kindly, because she used to open a shop and save others by herself, so she said to ordinary merchants Vendors are extraordinarily patient.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it!" The waiter assured him, and then shouted loudly in the lobby, "Tian Liu, a guest has arrived, hurry up and take the horse to the backyard to take care of it!"

"Here we come!" A skinny man ran out, slapped Hua Zifang a thousand times, and then dragged the rein to the backyard without saying a word.

Hua Zifang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "Brother, wait a moment, my family members haven't got off the car yet!"

Tian Liu was stunned for a moment, let go of the rein hastily, and smiled honestly at Hua Zifang, but Hua Zifang couldn't blame her.Hua Zifang shook her head and laughed, and knocked on the door of the carriage, "Mother, we've arrived at the inn, come down and have a rest."

The door of the carriage opened in response, and an oil-paper umbrella was stretched out, holding a white and slender hand on the handle of the sour-purple umbrella, and then a woman in a silver-white cloak lowered her head and got out of the carriage.

Although the hood was on and the cloak was covering it, this did not prevent the waiter with his old eyes from being dumbfounded.

These slender hands, this figure... this mother is well-maintained!She can catch up with the big girl of seventeen or eighteen!

Before the waiter could make a fuss, he saw the woman get out of the car, turned around, and leaned forward with the umbrella, a soft female voice came, "Mother, come down, there is nothing wrong with you outside." .”

Only then did I see a middle-aged woman get out of the carriage.

Look at the blind!The waiter in the store spit on himself secretly, then kicked Tian Liu quietly, and told him to drive the car by himself, then raised a flattering smile, "Madam, please, I don't know if Madam is staying at the tip or staying in the shop?"

As soon as Bai Shi was on the road, he suffered from motion sickness.

After driving for half a month, Mrs. Bai finally got used to it, but the road was blocked by heavy rain.Although it is an official road, it is a dirt road after all, the road surface was washed by heavy rain with potholes, and the carriage bumped all the way, making Bai dizzy and wanting to be reincarnated.

At this moment, when the shop waiter asked questions, Mrs. Bai couldn't care less about answering, she just waved her hands and said weakly, "Zifang, you are the one to decide."

Hua Zifang saw Bai's haggard look, and knew that her mother was motion sick again, and it was really not suitable to hurry on the road. In addition, it was raining so hard outside that it couldn't stop for a while, so she said to the waiter, "To stay in the hotel, I need three rooms." Go to the room."

"Three people staying in the inn, three rooms in the upper room..." The waiter in the inn elongated his voice, and shouted into the inn, then smiled brighter, bent lower, and said to the Hua family three people, "The three of you, please." .”

Hua Zifang took the lead to step into the inn, Xiren supported Bai Shi, and followed him into the door.

"Would the three of you have some food in the lobby, or go back to your room and rest?" the waiter asked again.

Xiren took off his hood and said to Hua Zifang, "Brother was driving all the way and got caught in a lot of rain. I'd better take a hot bath first and drink ginger soup to go to the cold. Mother got dizzy all the way. If you can’t eat, please calm your stomach first, and eat later.”

"That's fine." Hua Zifang nodded upon hearing this.

"The upper room is on the second floor, the three of you should be careful under your feet..." The waiter in the store heard Hua Zifang's order and hurriedly led the three of them upstairs, "They are Tianzi No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] rooms, which happen to be adjacent to each other. , the layout inside is the same, you see..."

The waiter took out a large bunch of keys from his waist, opened the door lightly, and muttered sharply, "We have always prepared hot water in the kitchen, and I will bring it up for you right away! Ginger soup is very fast, please wash it You can drink it after taking a shower, don't worry..."

Hua Zifang entered the room, inspected it without any trace, and then smiled, "The room is good, I'm here to help you, little brother."

The waiter in the shop smiled cleverly, "The three of you rest first, I'll go to drink water now!"

The three of them bathed separately, and after eating, they went to sleep without mentioning it.

Because it was raining outside and the sky was gloomy, the three of them drove for a whole day. Even Xiren, who was sitting in the carriage, was extra worried and tired because he had to take care of Mrs. Bai, not to mention Mrs. Bai who was dizzy and uncomfortable, and Mr. Bai who was driving in the rain. The flowers are fragrant.

Therefore, the three of them didn't pay attention to the weather, and took a rest early before it got dark.

In the early hours of the morning, there was a sound of small footsteps and talking in the corridor.

Although the voice was deliberately lowered, but in the silence of the night, even the slightest sound made a huge movement.Xiren always felt light outside, she hugged the quilt and half sat up, listened for a while, the outside became quiet again, then she lay down, covered her feet with the quilt, and fell asleep again.

In a drowsy state, Xi Ren didn't know how long he had slept, when suddenly his feet were empty, as if he had fallen into an abyss!

Xiren sat up in a jerk, her heart was beating wildly in her chest, she breathed heavily as if she couldn't breathe, the blue curtain weighed heavily in front of her eyes, Xiren still had lingering fears, sat for a long time before carefully opening the door. Open the tent and put your shoes on the ground.

The sound of rain rustling outside the window, wearing clothes, poured a cup of herbal tea, and the beating heart slowed down a bit.

Xiren simply didn't turn on the lamp, and sat alone in the dark, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, forgetting the terrible dream just now, and his mind gradually settled down.Because of this nightmare, Xi Ren didn't feel sleepy at all, so he simply washed up and dressed in the dim light.

Just as Xiren put down his comb, he suddenly heard a short and weak neighing of a horse.With a thought in his heart, Xiren came to the window facing the street, pushed open a slit, and looked out carefully.

The tiny raindrops seeped through the crack of the window and hit Xiren's hands, making it extremely cool.

The sky was dim, Xiren's eyesight was excellent, and he saw a group of men in black surrounding the inn in order.They rode black horses with long swords on their waists, and none of the horses moved or neighed, obviously well-trained.

If the neigh she heard just now did not belong to the mounts of this group of men in black, it obviously could only come from the backyard of the inn.

In addition to the mules and horses raised by the inn in the backyard, there are only horses brought by the guests.The opponent surrounded but did not fight, and cut off the rear of the opponent first, which was obviously premeditated.This group of men in black came from extraordinary backgrounds, the picture is probably not small, I just hope that the innocent will not be involved afterwards.

Xiren carefully lowered the window and plugged it in.

The door of the inn was knocked open respectfully, and the waiter let out a short exclamation. Seeing that these people were not young, he didn't dare to stop them. He pointed in a direction, and shivered and hid in a corner.

The shopkeeper went out holding an oil lamp, when he saw a group of men in black walking upstairs in a threatening manner.The shopkeeper had been running the shop for a long time, so he naturally saw that the visitor was not kind, so he trembled suddenly, and wanted to pretend he didn't see it and go back the way he came.

The leader in black waved his hand, and his subordinates politely invited the shopkeeper over.

"Don't be afraid, shopkeeper, we'll leave after finishing our errands, delaying your business—" The leading man in black popped out a piece of silver and landed it in the shopkeeper's arms, "I'll make it up here, and please let the shopkeeper make it easier for you. "

"Don't dare to delay the errands, please do your own thing." The shopkeeper had money in his hand, and he was more courageous.

"Don't disturb the shopkeeper's rest." The leading man in black smiled and cupped his hands. The shopkeeper was still waiting for a few words before he was knocked unconscious by a knife in the hand of a man in black and threw him back to the room.

The leading man in black smiled and walked towards the second floor.

There was a sound of small footsteps in the corridor, Xiren dared not move, for fear of being heard outside.After a while, the footsteps stopped at the diagonally opposite door, followed by a polite knock on the door.
