One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 72 Accommodation
Just like this big car shop, it used to be a little small. Because there were more merchants, it expanded a lot around it, and it was extremely simple.

But in order to have a piece of thatch to cover, there are still many people living here.

The two brothers and sisters had already painted their hands, face and neck a lot on the way. Although it was hard to hide their temperament, it was not too eye-catching at first glance.

Eat, drink, sleep well recently, the longer the two of them are, the better they look. The people they met on the way to Chao County only cared about their livelihood and not many people paid attention to their appearance, but with Yan Qingzhi's stature After pulling up, the sights that looked at them became more and more.

As a last resort, in order to save some trouble, the two can only hide it properly!
The environment of the big car shop is not good, there are many mosquitoes, and the people around are noisy. For the sake of safety, they still take turns to rest.

When taking turns to rest, Yan Qingzhu urged Yan Qingzhi to write down what he had learned before.

Yan Qingzhi wanted to cry but had no tears, so he raised his gauze-covered hands to Yan Qingzhu's face, but he failed to soften his heart.

She could only resign and continue to draw. The two months were not long or short, and she had not studied for a long time. Her memory was a little fuzzy, but as she recalled, many of the things she had learned before became clearer.

But compared to Yan Qingzhu's knowledge points that have been able to bind several volumes, she doesn't seem to remember much.

The two of them drifted so unhurriedly, and the time seemed to have returned to the time when they had just crossed over...

It's just that both siblings understand in their hearts that such a leisurely time may not last long.

Ten days passed in a flash, and the two of them swayed hundreds of miles away.

At their speed, it would take a month to reach the south of Chao County.

That evening, the two of them swayed into a small county exactly according to the direction they inquired before.

The small county is not very big, it is neither a transportation hub nor an important economic town, so the development situation can be imagined.

As usual, the road guide and household registration were checked. Yan Qingzhi was familiar with the road, and there was no trouble.

Passing through the city gate, Yan Qingzhu rode a donkey, while Yan Qingzhi walked on the dirty dirt road with the reins.She was also unwilling to leave, but if both of them rode on a donkey, they would be fined. At this time, she could only come down.

Today's weather is not very good, with dark clouds, it looks like it is going to rain.

There are not many passers-by around, and the only few left are walking quickly, looking very anxious.

It is the rainy season in Chao County right now. Once the heavy rain starts, it is common for several days and nights.

The sister and brother were afraid of being photographed in the wild by the heavy rain, so they decided to live in this small town for a few days and wait until the rain stopped before leaving.

Because they didn't know how long the rain would last, the two of them didn't rent a yard. After inquiring about it, they went straight to an inn nearby.

The inn is not a splendid place. At a glance at the hall, the only good word that Yan Qingzhi can think of is that it is only spacious and bright!
Yan Qingzhi looked up at the plaque on the door of the inn that said "Auspicious Inn". She sighed deeply. The name of the auspicious inn, she had seen at least ten along the way, and the environmental treatment was uneven. .

The young man who greeted him at the door was not tall, young, and aggressive.

Seeing Yan Qingzhi holding the donkey at the door, he quickly looked at them, and when he saw that they didn't have half a patch on them, the smile on his face suddenly deepened.Seeing that it is going to rain here in the evening, the one who is still leading the donkey must not be a temporary meal.

"Two little brothers, do you live in the hotel?"

Hearing Xiao Er's voice, Yan Qingzhi came back to her senses, nodded, looked at the environment in the hall, and asked the Xiao Er who was only a head taller than her.

"How about you live here?"

The little Er laughed more brightly after hearing this, and hurriedly made a bid to Yan Qingzhi.

The cost of accommodation varies from place to place, and the prices here are only moderate.

The worst room costs [-] cents a night, two pots of hot water and a breakfast for free.

Slightly better, there are [-] and [-] wen, and the additional benefits are similar, but the [-] wen room is responsible for feeding the horse's fodder.

Yan Qingzhi hesitated for a while, because she didn't know how many days she was going to stay, and she felt that she should not push herself too hard, so she asked for a medium room.

Xiao Er hurriedly greeted them happily and walked to the courtyard door on the side of the front hall. The height of the courtyard door was about the same as the house next to it, obviously it was built to facilitate passing cars.

Walking into the doorway, there is a corridor paved with red bricks, which is quite wide, and ordinary carriages can easily drive into it.

Xiao Er led the way in front, Yan Qingzhi led the donkey and followed behind him, and arrived at the backyard before walking far.

The backyard is very open, the yard is very large, it looks like a courtyard, the south is the front hall, the north is a row of guest rooms, and the east is divided into two parts, one part is the warehouse, the other part is the livestock shed.

A thatched promenade surrounds the entire yard, allowing people to pass through smoothly even without an umbrella on rainy days.

There were several clotheslines tied to a corner of the courtyard, probably because it was going to rain, and it was empty.

On the west side of the yard is a high courtyard wall, and there is a row of wooden barrels under it, covered with wooden lids. The wooden barrels are brushed cleanly.

In the middle of the yard is a grass hut that enjoys the shade. There are several men in bunts standing or sitting, huddled together attentively, looking like someone is playing chess.

Nowadays, there are no mobile phones and computers, and there are not many entertainment activities for everyone. Playing chess has become a very entertaining activity.

Along the way, Yan Qingzhi saw many people playing chess, so she didn't find it strange to see such a scene.

Xiao Er did not disturb the interest of those people, and only led the two siblings to the livestock barn in the east, and greeted the long-term worker who was working inside.

The other party quickly stood up from the barn, helped the sister and brother unload the goods, tied the donkey to a post in the barn on one side, took a wooden sign from the post and handed it to Yan Qingzhi.This is to be paid back when they come to lead the donkey.

The man looked at the unloaded things, while Xiao Er obeyed Yan Qingzhi's instructions and helped her move into the room.

The room they wanted was quite large, and the room was covered with floor tiles. The decoration was not exquisite, but it was simple and clean, with a faint mosquito scent.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a square table. The table has some paint peeling, but it doesn't look simple. The teapot on the table is empty. Waiting for the two to settle down, Xiao Er took the empty teapot and went out to make hot water.

There are two large wooden windows on both sides of the main entrance. The windows are nailed with glass, which is quite bright. There is a washbasin stand and a canopy bed under one window, and a very large desk is placed on the other side.
