After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

Su Qing was dressed in men's attire, with a folding fan in her hand shaking slightly, her eyes were looking around, and the watchman walked by, staring at her.Su Qing and him looked at each other, and the watchman stopped immediately, clasped his fists and said, "I don't know where you are from? It seems that we are not from Cheng County."

Su Qing nodded, "Brother, you have a good eye. We are businessmen going to Liuyi City to do business. We pass by Cheng County and want to go out to buy something to eat at night. Who would have thought that there is no one on this street? We have walked all the way, although some counties have curfews. , but it’s not like there are no people left just after it’s dark, it’s a little strange, I wonder if brother can answer one or two?”

The watchman didn't smile much, and said calmly: "Cheng County is very poor. Even in the daytime, there are not many shops open, let alone at night. Moreover, Cheng County will close its doors when it gets dark. This is the rule. You are from other places. People, just passing by here, it is better not to walk around on the street, go back to the hotel."

After Dageng finished speaking, he left without looking back. The guard behind him wanted to go forward to argue, but was stopped by Su Qing, "Find an inn to inquire about it. Dageng will only come out at Haishi, it is impossible to be so early."

Su Qing looked up at the moon, and found that the moon here was no different from the moon in Liyang, and even a little colder than the moon in Liyang. She lowered her eyes and walked to a shop that looked similar.

Walking into the inn, the boss was lowering his head and calculating something with his abacus. After Su Qing walked in, the boss looked up and was obviously surprised when he saw Su Qing. Then he walked out from the counter inside with an oops, "Guest officer, please come out." , please come inside, there is good tea here, please sit down."

The boss poured tea for Su Qing and the others in a hurry. Su Qing sat on a chair, and Xiao Yuan and the others stood behind him. Su Qing took a look at Ru Xin. Ru Xin picked up the tea and looked at it, saying: "Boss, you This tea is rough, it looks like inferior tea, no wonder you don't have many people staying here."

The boss rubbed his hands, bowed slightly and smiled apologetically, "Master, you are laughing. It's a small business, and it's rare to come here. I'll change the tea for you right away, and I promise to satisfy you."

The boss said, but he didn't move his feet, just stared at Su Qing with a smile, Su Qing glanced at the tea, folded his fan, and tapped on the table lightly, "Boss, don't you want to change the tea? It's on."

The boss had a particularly rich expression, with a smile on his lips, "Hey, hey, that."

He stretched out his hand to ask Su Qing if he wanted to stay in the hotel. If he stayed in the hotel, he could change it. If he didn't stay in the hotel, wouldn't he lose money?
But seeing if Su Qing didn't go on, he was a shopkeeper, and he couldn't urge the customers to leave. After thinking about it for a long time, he slapped his thighs with both hands, "I'll go right away."

After a while, the boss brought up a pot of steaming hot tea, and when he came from a distance, he could smell the fragrance.

The boss smiled all over his face, but it seemed to be a painful one, "Master, this is the treasure of my shop, whoever takes a sip will definitely be able to honor their ancestors."

Ru Xin couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter, "Boss, it's not like you've passed the exam, so you don't need to brag like that."

The boss turned his head and smiled apologetically; "Young master is right, but drinking good tea can also be celebrated. Our place is poor, and the entire Cheng County may not be able to find a family like mine."

The tea was placed in front of Su Qing. Su Qing glanced at it and said, "Boss, everyone else is working in the hall. Your boss is both an accountant and a waiter. It must be very hard."

The boss smiled and said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, and there won't be a few customers throughout the year, so I just sit around like this."

Su Qing looked at the table with his index finger, "I remember that you must pass through here when you go to Liuyi City, and Liuyi City is a county with good trade. There must be a lot of businessmen passing by here, right?"

The boss smiled wryly, "Young Master, I don't know. Although Chengxian County is the only way to go to Liuyi City, there is a small road outside the city gate. You can bypass the county town and go directly to the next county. There are not many people in Chengxian County. The outsiders came here, or what should I say, the young master and his group are really very courageous."

The boss said with a thumbs up, full of admiration.

Ru Xin said: "Boss, what do you mean by that? It's obviously more convenient to go out from the county seat. How come there are still people going over mountains and mountains? Those things are not easy to take."

The boss looked outside, and the deserted street seemed extraordinarily quiet, "Hey, you guys don't know, there are two bandit dens in Chengxian County, one is just outside the city, and it specializes in robbing people on official roads and small roads, the bandit leader It’s called a tiger, but this tiger has few people, so it will be released as long as it is given money.”

Pointing to the street behind, the boss said in a low voice: "From here is the west gate of Chengxian County. Going out of the west gate is the official road, and there is a bandit den on both sides of the official road. The bandits there are really powerful, and his sister is amazing." , is the thirteenth concubine of King Xu Jun. Because of this relationship, he monopolized our grain business with the tea city next door and Suzhou. He also said that he is a mighty general and lives on a mountainside outside the west gate. , the magistrates of Chengxian County have to give up by three points."

Su Qing frowned, "Suzhou is very big, and the supervisory censor of Suzhou is stationed there and can mobilize troops. Why can't we clean up a bandit den?"

The boss stomped his feet and sighed, "My lord, this River East Road has long been integrated, and even the police officers sent by the above are just going through the motions. Now there are not only bandits here, but all the way through this road." It’s bandits, the people are suffering, it’s good that my small shop can persist.”

The boss looked sad, probably because no one complained, and seeing Su Qing and others, he had no scruples.

Su Qing's face was very ugly, he never thought that such a stupid thing would happen in a place far away from Emperor Shangao.

Bandits can actually live outside the city, and this is already an obvious rule.

After registering several rooms, the boss was busy all by himself, even doing the work of the chef.

After eating two mouthfuls of food, Su Qing lay on the bed and couldn't sleep. The common people had no oil and water, but the bandits ate fat intestines and big ears. Thinking of the bandits on the way to escape, Su Qing felt chest tightness.

Just when she got up to drink water, she suddenly heard movement downstairs, and after a while, the door opened, and Song Zhi's dusty face appeared in front of Su Qing, "Qing'er."

Su Qing rushed over in an instant, and hugged Song Zhi tightly. The unique manliness of Song Zhi made Su Qing feel at ease.

When going out, with such a person protecting her, Su Qing couldn't help but said, "I'm not afraid anymore when I see you."

Just as Song Zhi was about to speak, footsteps came from downstairs.
