Torrential rain.
The wheels of the carriage quickly rolled across the ground, splashing clusters of water.
The master and servant in the carriage were all shaken by the speed of the carriage. The maid with a sharp voice supported the lady who was almost knocked on the head, half lifted the curtain, and shouted at the driver outside in disgust:
"Ah Chou! How do you drive the car? If something happens to Miss, can you afford it?!"
The groom who was driving was tall, and even if he was sitting in front of the car, his back was like a mountain.
He was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat on his head. The rain fell from the edge of the coir rain hat and then slipped from the edge of his coir rain cape. The wide coir rain cape could not completely cover his strong body. The edge of the brown robe had been wet by the rain and turned black. The thin fabric tightly wrapped his bulging muscles, making him look like a dormant beast.
He turned his head and glanced at the servant girl, his eyes clearly showed no emotion, but it made the servant girl shudder for no reason.
"You, what are you looking at!" The servant girl was terrified by him, but she didn't dare to seriously go up and teach him a lesson.
Don't look at this man who is taciturn and ugly, but if it weren't for him, she and the young lady would have lost their lives in the hands of thieves along the way.
Not only was he terrifying in appearance, but his skills were equally formidable. Several times they were surrounded by people, and she saw him flash out and come back covered in blood, and she couldn't even see a living person around.
It can be seen that his heart is firm and his attack is ruthless!
She knew that this person must never be offended, but she just hated him.
Seeing that Ah Chou looked away quickly, the servant girl didn't take her complaint to heart, and after silently letting out a sigh of relief, she glared angrily at the coachman's back.
She put down the curtain of the car, turned around and said: "Miss, please bear with me, now that we have arrived in Yucheng, it is said that the miss's letter should have arrived at the Zhang family, and the Zhang family will definitely send someone to pick you up! At that time, there will be a gentle and considerate Mr. Zhang." Now, from now on, Miss will no longer have to look at this ugly guy's face!"
The carriage swayed forward, and the light inside the car was dim, but the dim light still couldn't hide the beautiful silhouette of the young lady.
Her eyebrows and eyes were supple, her lips were vermilion, although her expression was reserved, she couldn't help but blush when the servant girl mentioned her fiancé's name.
She paused, and then said: "Lan'er, don't be rude to Ah Chou, if not for Ah Chou, our journey would not be so smooth."
"Miss is helping this ugly monster again!" Lan'er got angry and wrinkled her nose in annoyance, "It's because of your gentleness and kindness that some people have delusions that they shouldn't have. Hmph, the toad wants to eat swan meat!"
The young lady looked helpless: "You, you always speculate like this, ugly, he... Forget it, you remember to be more polite to him in the future, since my father asked him to protect me before he died, it shows that this person is worthy of trust. "
What's more, they have no other choice right now.
Seeing the young lady's face, Lan'er understood what she had said. Although she had an angry look on her face, she finally closed her mouth, sat back, and supported her young lady with aggrieved feelings.
The master and servant lowered their voices when they spoke, but what they didn't expect was that the people driving the carriage had already heard their words through a thin curtain of the carriage.
But he still remained expressionless, as if whether it was the young lady or Lan'er's worries had nothing to do with him.
The wheels of the chariot flew across the puddles on the ground, and the slanted rainwater hit the man's coir raincoat. He held the whip in his hand, and suddenly yanked it hard. After a few clicks, he stopped suddenly.
The sound of "dongdong" and "clang" sounded in the car.
The servant girl, Lan'er, covered her forehead and angrily lifted the curtain of the car: "Ah Chou! What are you doing again!"
When she leaned out with half her body, Ah Chou had already jumped out of the car, and patted the horse's mane with her slender and strong hands to calm the horse down, ignoring her at all.
After Lan'er glared at him, she turned her eyes suddenly, and suddenly found that they had already arrived at the door of an inn.
On this way into the city, every household closed their doors, and the rain was dark and heavy. They searched for a long time in the heavy rain before they found such an inn with its door open.
The two red lanterns at the entrance of the inn were swaying in the wind and rain, but miraculously there was still a little bit of fire in the wick inside. The light of the fire seemed to be extinguished by the lanterns at any time, but it still firmly illuminated the little bit of light under the feet of the guests. bright.
"Koi carp inn..." Lan'er looked up at the words on the inn's plaque, and unconsciously read aloud.
It's a very common name, and you can see several inns with the same name if you walk around in the streets and alleys.
But such an inn with an ordinary name and a decadent appearance was the only foothold they could find in a stormy night.
Lan'er was stunned for a moment, then her face was filled with joy, she took the umbrella out of the car and opened it, and jumped off the carriage carefully by climbing on the shaft.
She didn't dare to let Ah Chou help her, and when she landed, the water splashed onto her skirt, so she could only grit her teeth angrily, and opened the curtain with the other hand: "Miss, there is an inn, and there is a place to rest tonight." !"
Ah Chou didn't speak, he led the horse under the canopy, waited for the young lady to get out of the car, and then followed the second daughter into the koi inn.
It was both unexpected and seemingly expected. Although the door of the inn was open, there was no one in the lobby, only the light of a few oil lamps made it hard to see.
The tables and chairs in the inn were very ordinary, and the air was still filled with the smell of rain and oily smoke, and Lan'er's stomach suddenly gurgled.
In the empty lobby, the voice was not insignificant. She quickly covered her stomach and shouted loudly as if to cover up her panic: "Is anyone there? We're going to stay in the hotel!"
Her echo can even be heard in the lobby.
For a long while, no one responded.
Lan'er stomped her feet and yelled inside again: "Where's Xiao Er?! If no one comes out, we'll leave!"
But after a while, she heard a chuckle, and an ethereal and lazy male voice came from above, the voice was soft but it could not be misunderstood as a woman's voice: "It rains heavily tonight, even if you walk all over the city, you will not be able to escape." I can't find another inn that is not closed, don't believe me, the girl wants to bet with me?"
Suddenly a tall and thin figure appeared on the second floor of the inn, walking slowly down the stairs.
When the vague figure reached the place where the candlelight could see, his narrow and round chin, white and greasy skin first came into view, and the candlelight shone on his face, as if it would reflect light.
Then came his eyebrows that slanted into the temples, his eyes as clear as autumn water, with feathers as eyelashes, and under his straight nose, a pair of pale lips like flower petals.
He has gorgeous facial features and looks very young. He is tall and tall, and his clothes are simple but romantic. His crow-green and black hair is loosely draped behind his head, and his every move is so elegant and elegant that people can't take his eyes off him.
Lan'er stared blankly at the handsome man in front of him, her heart beating inexplicably fast.
She had heard that there were many people in the cultivation world who were beautiful and beautiful, but she had never seen such an outstanding person, even... ten times more beautiful than her young lady.
It's not that the person in front of him looks like a man and a woman, but that the man's facial features are so unique that they are unforgettable.
Like misty waves, like mountain streams after rain, like a wisp of mist when looking at distant mountains in the morning, it is so beautiful that even if it is close in front of you, it seems that you will never be able to grasp it.
To use an inappropriate analogy, the young lady standing with him is the difference between Xiaojiabiyu and the magnificent palace.
It is the difference between Yinghuo and Haoyue.
It's a pity that when the man opened his mouth, all the above fantasies collapsed.
Those good wishes were all shattered into slag.
"With all due respect, even if there are vacant guest rooms upstairs, not everyone can afford it." The handsome man leaned on the railing of the stairs and looked over slightly, "I don't know what Miss is planning to pay for the house?"
This person opens his mouth about the property and keeps his mouth shut about the money, it's vulgar, and he looks down on people very much!Lan'er replied rather annoyed and angry: "We brought a lot of gold leaves and silver notes from Tongbao Bank, 100 taels, 1000 taels can be taken out, is it enough to stay in the store?"
She thought that by saying this, she would let the other party know that they were not easy to provoke, so she glared at the other party in relief after she finished speaking, hoping to see a look of remorse on the man's face.
Unexpectedly, instead of being ashamed and regretful, the man covered his mouth in boredom and yawned: "That's all?"
He looked at them indifferently: "You guys don't know that although Yucheng is sandwiched between the mortal world and the cultivation world, it uses spirit stones as currency. The gold leaves in your hands may not even be exchanged for a low-grade spirit stone. I'm afraid our shop won't be able to entertain a few people tonight."
Laner was completely stunned.
The young lady blushed, and tugged at her servant girl's sleeve: "Lan'er!" She looked at the man on the steps with embarrassment, and said in a tactful tone, "My lord, I don’t know how we can stay here? You’re right, it’s raining so hard outside, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find another inn tonight..."
"After all, this young lady isn't too stupid." The man pursed his lips slightly, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "What's your name?"
The young lady didn't dare to be as blind and conceited as Lan Er in front of a suspected cultivator, so she had to answer honestly: "My surname is Shi, and my girlfriend's name is Yueying."
"Miss Yueying." He nodded, his tone slowed down, "My name is Xiao Minglou. Unfortunately, the shopkeeper of our store has gone out. I will act as the shopkeeper. Please forgive me if there is any impoliteness."
Shi Yueying was quite flattered, she hurriedly spoke without daring, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy, this Xiao Minglou's behavior was unpredictable at times, no matter how handsome he looked, it was hard for her to let go of her guard.
Her premonition soon became true.
Just as Xiao Minglou finished saying "Please forgive me", his eyes fell on the coachman A Chou who hadn't spoken since he entered the door just now.
He pointed at Ah Chou: "Since you can't afford the rent, why don't you sell this big guy to me for the rent?"
Shi Yueying hesitated and said, "This..."
Xiao Minglou looked over with a slight smile: "Anyway, you don't think he's ugly and fierce. He just sold it to me. I can still find you a few spirit stones for me on the road. Why not do it?"
Both Shi Yueying and Lan'er were shocked.
How did he know this? ... When they entered the inn, they didn't even say a word about Ah Chou!
Looking back, the only time Lan Er complained about Ah Chou's unsteady driving, but that time was in the carriage!There was lightning and thunder outside the car, and it was pouring rain. Yelling and shouting in the rain might not be heard clearly, not to mention that they were talking quietly in the carriage.He...how could he know? !
The second daughter only felt a chill all over her body, and her limbs trembled slightly.
But Ah Chou, whose name was called, raised his head at this moment, and swept towards Xiao Minglou with his sharp gaze like a knife with blood sealing his throat.
The wheels of the carriage quickly rolled across the ground, splashing clusters of water.
The master and servant in the carriage were all shaken by the speed of the carriage. The maid with a sharp voice supported the lady who was almost knocked on the head, half lifted the curtain, and shouted at the driver outside in disgust:
