Tiger Wings

The carriage did not know when it stopped at the door of an inn, and Xiao Er had been waiting at the door since he heard the sound of the carriages and horses.

Just as the sun was setting, the last Yu Wen was still attached to this piece of land, reluctant to leave for a long time, leaving the bloody sunset behind as if to express the regret of having to go back.

Amid the dust and dust, Xiao Er could see clearly—it was a simple and narrow carriage, and the horses pulling the carriage in front were brown in color, neither tall nor too thin, they were just ordinary breeds.

At this time, he was dragging the carriage forward tiredly, neither fast nor slow.There was a coachman faintly sitting on the shaft of the carriage. He might be approaching the hotel, but he was not seen waving his whip to urge him.

People who have been juniors for a long time have practiced such a unique skill, that is, sharp eyes. This is the skill they must learn to eat this kind of food.

What I saw was a crude carriage, and some young faces were disappointed for a moment, but then they greeted it with a smile.

This is the only way to the capital of the empire, so although the inn is remote, the business will never be empty.

The emperor of this country is celebrating his 25th birthday these few days. A few days ago, he had already greeted several groups of people rushing to the imperial capital.

Years of experience told Xiao Er that what he saw was not real, and there might be dignitaries in disguise among the guests who greeted and sent him, and if he accidentally offended, he would not only be unable to eat and walk around.

Although rewarding silver is important, there is no doubt that one's own life is of course more precious.

Thinking this way, after a loud "scream", the coachman pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped firmly in front of his eyes, and the nostrils of several horses spewed out scorching breath.

The coachman was a strong man who looked simple, dressed in simple and smart clothes, his limbs were exposed, showing his dark and old skin after years of wind and rain, and he was wearing a hat with a wide brim.

After the carriage stopped, the driver jumped off the carriage before he stabilized and landed firmly.You can tell at a glance that you are used to the job of a coachman.

After soothing the horse a few times, he handed over the reins to Xiao Er, and then untied the strap on his chin and took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing an ordinary but honest face as Xiao Er imagined.

Although he was wearing a hat, the skin on his face seemed to be darker than the skin on his hands and feet, but his pair of brown eyes were shining brightly, making his whole face look special.

After casually wiping sweat on his forehead, he wiped it on the dust-stained short skirt, which was already soaked and stuck to the man's body, and the protruding muscles of acquaintance were faintly visible.

After a little tidying up, the burly man lifted the black curtain of the carriage behind him. Xiao Er was just about to bow down to greet the guests when he saw that there was actually a thick black curtain hanging behind the white curtain, which stood vertically and obviously weighed a lot. .

The coachman pulled up the next black curtain without any haste, and lifted the curtain to the top of his head with just a slight lift of his hand, which fully demonstrated his well-developed arm strength.

"Master, we are here."

The strong man lowered his head and said softly, the volume of the weak voice was really asymmetrical to his strong body, Xiao Er was taken aback, and when he looked up, he heard a slight movement from inside the carriage, a foot wearing a black boot had already stepped on it. on the axle.

Suddenly, the people inside stood outside the car without seeing any movement. The black clothes seemed strange to Xiao Er, who was used to seeing the well-dressed guests.

Afterwards, he dutifully led the empty carriage to the partner who drove over from the stable, and he himself led the two guests into the inn.

Although the inn looks quite small, it is clean and simple inside, unlike the vicissitudes of life outside.

Most of the red perch tables and chairs have faded, but there is no trace of oil stains on the surface. The eight tables and chairs are neatly placed in the hall, which does not look very crowded.

However, such a shop is really small in such a section of road. However, the guests staying here are small businessmen or go to the market. The small shop is used as a temporary place to stay.

Most people who are away from home regard peace as the most important thing. When there are too many people, everyone discusses a partnership to set up a shop and it's over.

If it weren't for the five-year birthday of the emperor of this country, it wouldn't be particularly crowded.

The shopkeeper, who was wearing a slightly rich red silk gown, was standing behind the rectangular counter "crackling" thinking about the abacus, and the pages of the account book in his hand were flipping rapidly, which really made people worry whether he had seen the account clearly.

The shopkeeper showed a somewhat exaggerated smile, obviously very satisfied with the money he had received in the past few days.Even the dark circles under the eyes have been stretched a lot, and they don't look so tired.

Seeing that the shop assistant was bringing in two customers, he stopped what he was doing.He scribbled a pen on a notebook beside him, and waited for the guests to come.

"These two guest officials, do you want to be top-notch or stay in the hotel?"

The flattering voice was quite harmonious against that smiling fat face.It's just that his eyes are shining brightly so that people can know his shrewdness at a glance.

Turning his small eyes twice, the boss's eyes fixed on a person behind him. The man in black stood there expressionlessly, as if nothing could catch his eyes.

But the aura flowed naturally, not so strong and domineering, but it was impossible to ignore.

The boss looked at his hands subconsciously, but was frightened by the casual glance of the man, his smile froze on his face, and he was so frightened that he even forgot what to say.

"Boss, come to two rooms, and then send some side dishes, that's all."

At this time, a man who was following the man in black spoke up, and his simple and honest voice finally called the boss back to his senses.

The waiter cleverly pushed the elbow of his boss, because he had been following the customer all the time, so he didn't see what happened just now.Now seeing the boss, who has always been shrewd in hospitality, stared blankly for a long time without any movement, even though he felt something was wrong, he didn't think much about it.

The store owner saw Xiao Er winking, wiped the thin cold sweat off his head, and then yelled with a smile on his face:

"Two rooms in Tianzihao," Xiao Er hurriedly helped out, "Guest officer, you need to pay a deposit of five taels for each room."

The man glanced at Xiao Er, two silver coins are really not expensive, especially this store is still on such an important road, no wonder a small inn is well-known among the common people.
