sinking into sand

"Are you the boss?"

The uninvited guest of the Jinzhan Pavilion had a very good attitude. While saying hello, he entered the room with letters and brochures.

Yu Sha took a quick look, and replied: "...Yes, is there something for your visit?"

The man handed the letter to Yu Sha, and said, "The former pavilion master passed away a few days ago, and now the pavilion master has friends from all walks of life who come to Lijiang River. Therefore, this is my Jinzhan Pavilion's private matter. I came here for the sake of the former pavilion master, and I hope that the inns all over the Lijiang River will waive the fees for these guests, and then use this booklet to log in, and when you are done, you can come to my pavilion to receive double the money."

Yu Sha took the booklet and whistled: "Two times, Guige is really rich and powerful."

The Jinzhan Pavilion disciple was sincere: "After all, it is a private matter of this pavilion. It is good that the boss confirms that he has received the letter and manual."

He left his things and left quickly.Yu Sha watched the man's movements at the door, and as he himself said, handed in the brochure to the next inn along the street.Other than that there is nothing special about it.

Yu Sha withdrew his gaze and put the things on the counter casually.

Yu Shaomiao's body died, and the spirit stopped for a month. The people from Jinzhan Pavilion didn't come to the door early or late, why did they come at this time?

Unless some important person is coming.

Either the Guan family in the northwest, or the court of Dingzhou.

Today the situation in the world is very chaotic, mainly due to the rampant grass bandits, and there are not many places to pass through.Many places far away come to the Lijiang River, and winter clothes must be prepared when going out in summer.The only roads still open are the Chayan Commercial Road in Luyang County of the Central Plains and the Yongjia Ancient Road in the northwest.

These two roads, the Chayan Commercial Road leads to the imperial court, and the Yongjia Ancient Road connects the Guan family, both of which are important places.Counting the time it took for them to receive the news, it would be about a month.

I don't know who came first.

"Is it... Jinzhan Pavilion?"

A voice suddenly came from his ear, Yu Sha's pupils shrank, and when he turned his head to look, it was Guan Lan.

This person walked up to him at some point, still wearing his clothes that seemed to be fished out of the mud, standing by the counter and looking at him.

Yu Sha was startled a little, this man walked too silently.However, he didn't bring this surprise to his face, he just waved the booklet in his hand and said, "Did you hear that, guest officer? Since the guest officer is also here for Pavilion Master Yu's business, let's list his name again. Although it's not much , but it can save some money.”

Guan Lan looked at the booklet silently for a few seconds, so long that Yu Sha thought there was something wrong with the booklet, so he said, "No need. Please don't put my name on it."

Yu Sha paused with the hand holding the manual, stared at Guan Lan, and understood: "...In that case, then guest officer, please settle your room fee."

Guan Lan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

Yu Sha said again: "Since the guest officer is awake, why don't you go to the guest room to rest? The small shop also has some laundry services. My surname is Yu, just a word of sand. If the guest officer needs anything, just ask, but I accept some errands. Money. It’s more convenient than guest officials looking for it by themselves.”

Guan Lan remembered the things she had searched all over the inn before, and she responded after thinking about it, saying: "I'm sorry."

Yu Sha led Guan Lan to the guest room, Guan Lan changed his clothes and did not avoid people.He didn't have any luggage, but he carried a narrow sword with him, a bag that seemed to hold money, and nothing more.

Yu Sha asked innocently: "The guest officer said yesterday that he couldn't catch the inn. Could it be that the Li River enters from the west gate?"

Guan Lan was sorting out her own things, when she heard Yu Sha's words, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "How should I say it?"

Yu Sha explained: "There is also a curfew on the Lijiang River, and the various squares and markets are not connected after nightfall. Since the guest officer said that he had searched for an inn all night at Pingchunfang but failed, he must have entered the city through the west gate before nightfall. Find a place to stay in Dongcheng."

Guan Lan didn't speak at first, then suddenly turned around to look at Yu Sha: "So what if Ximen came in?"

Yu Sha replied: "There is the Lijiang River between the two northwest gates, so it's inconvenient to pass. Since the guest officials entered the city through the west gate, they naturally came from the west."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Sha thought that the person who should be reminded had already known and was about to leave, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Guan Lan speak.

"Are you reminding me how to hide my tracks?"

Yu Sha was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Guan Lan speechlessly.What's the situation with this person, since he knew it and reminded him, it's time to write it down secretly, and it's too careless to just say it so casually.

There was a lot of slander in his heart, and Yu Sha didn't dare to take his criticisms on the surface, he just said: "The guest is joking, but it's just speculation. We run an inn, and we have seen a lot of people who have traveled all over the world. That's all."

Guan Lan looked at him for a while, and didn't cooperate with him to put on a show, just said: "Chengqing, if you want, I do have a secret matter that I need help with."

Yu Sha froze for a moment, then felt funny, what happened to this man?Since it is a secret matter, it should not be said.Since it was said, why bother to mention it.

Seeing that Yu Sha didn't answer, Guan Lan didn't care, and just continued talking: "...I didn't bring anything. It's okay to be outside the city, but it's a bit inconvenient to move around in Lijiang City."

Yu Sha hurriedly answered: "Guest, do you want some change of clothes? As I said earlier, the shop charges a little money for running errands, and I can help you find a store to buy. It doesn't matter."

Guan Lan hesitated, hesitated, and said, "I mean...do you have night clothes?"

Yu Sha: ……………

Guan Lan showed some annoyance: "...isn't it easy?"

Yu Sha also hesitated and said: "... Put this aside for now, the guest officer and I met by chance, why are you so unsuspecting?"

Guan Lan didn't expect to be asked such a question, a little strange: "...But I didn't reveal what I'm going to do?"

How can I reveal it? !

Yu Sha was a bit dumbfounded by such a person, and said: "Although what the guest officer revealed is a small detail, if someone is careful and puts it together in detail, he can guess one or two. Wouldn't it cause unnecessary trouble? Or maybe someone will track it down in the future, and the guest officer can be found without any effort?"

What he said was really shallow and deep, and he shouldn't have said it.It's just that seeing Guan Lan's ignorant appearance but still wanting to break into the dragon's lake and the tiger's den is a little really irritated.

Unexpectedly, Guan Lan's expression changed under his inquiry, he just asked: "So you guess now, what am I going to do?"

Yu Sha choked when he asked, but didn't know how to answer.

Guan Lan said again: "...Although it is your freedom to do what you want, I still hope you don't say it."

Yu Sha instructed the other party kindly, but he didn't expect that this person didn't seem to listen to anything, and gradually became angry: "What if I say it out?"

Guan Lan was at a loss for words, hesitated at least ten more than before, and said for a while: "...It's better not to, I don't want to hurt people if it's not necessary."

"what."

Yu Sha was genuinely laughed angrily. This man looked at his face and looked like a human being. He spoke and acted like a fool, but his tone was so loud. He really didn't know what to say: "Then guest officer, just do what you want." .Small business, I still have a lot of work to do, so I won’t accompany you.”

Guan Lan didn't seem to have expected that Yu Sha would suddenly get angry, and reached out to try to keep him, but this time Yu Sha did leave without looking back.

Guan Lan scratched her hair with some difficulty: "Why are you angry?"

Then he remembered important things again, and frowned: "What should I do with the clothes?"

If Yu Sha knew that after this debate, this person still cared about clothes, he would definitely be pissed to death.

He hurried downstairs and went to the backyard to find Xun Er for money.

In the middle of the backyard is Xun Er's house, where she is doing needlework.Hearing that Yu Sha wanted to take the money, he frowned tightly, with an expression of reluctance.Still counted to him.

"What are you going to do? You don't need so much to buy ingredients." She complained in a low voice.

"...something." Yu Sha didn't want to say more: "I'll go to the street and find a way to get some money back."

Xun Er raised his eyebrows to look at him, and sighed again: "Just remember to buy some food and come back."
