Teach my brother-in-law

Chapter 89.black shop

We always stand in front of the mirror with a confused face every morning after waking up from a nightmare, looking at our sallow face, and thinking worriedly: "Is it true that I am destined to live like an ant in this life? ?” This is truly the tragedy of an era!

Just like before, I still felt a little confused. After coming to this strange world, I couldn't even find the joy of being a human being. I finally met a relatively reliable family. I seem to have a glimmer of hope, because I can survive the siege of wolves without any harm, so there is nothing I can't do.

In the early morning, under the pale sky, the mountains are as black as iron, solemn and solemn.The red sun is rising, and the peaks are dark blue; then, the mist rises, and the milky white gauze separates the high mountains, leaving only the blue peaks, which is really like a landscape painting with light ink and dense density.After a while, the fog dissipated again, and the exposed rock walls and cliffs were stained red by the rays of the sun, and gradually turned bronze again, looking extraordinarily magnificent.A yellow color appeared on the mountain not far away.The mountain road is as narrow as a sheep's intestine, twists and turns, covered with fallen leaves, and from time to time, it encounters a flowing mountain spring, which is wet and slippery under the feet.

Passing through the depths of the mountain forest was the lakeside on the way, Cheng Bo let out a long sigh, and started to hurry up with his horse.

From a distance, they saw people living in the village by the lake, and the three of them were relieved that as long as there were people, no wild animals would come out.

The carriage passed through the alley and entered the entrance of the village.All three felt tired.

"Why don't you find a family to rest for a while?" Lu'er asked.

"I remember that there is an inn by the lake, or I'll go to the inn to have a good rest for a day, I was tired last night." Bai He said in a restless manner, approaching this village for some reason, she always felt that something was going to happen in her heart.

"Okay, let's go to the village first. The inn seems to be not far from the lake, so we should arrive soon." Cheng Bo got into the carriage.A group of people drove towards the village not far ahead.

At the entrance of the village, I saw a stone tablet with the words Lujiatan written on it. Several big trees at the entrance of the village were blown by the wind, and leaves fell all over the place. It was already late autumn and early morning. Start barking.Afterwards, they saw the sound of several families opening their doors, and when they passed through the middle of the village, they saw a large courtyard not far from the lake with oil lamps on. The three of Bai He walked towards this courtyard.

This is the inn that Baihe saw on the way here. It is a place where you can eat, rest and stay. According to modern terms, it is in the form of a farmhouse. At this time, there are only two guys and the accountant cleaning the yard.As soon as he saw a few guests, he came out to greet him.

"Shopkeeper, arrange three upper rooms. Prepare to order wine and food..." Cheng Bo said in front of the counter.

This inn will not provide any breakfast, or just eat fried rice directly.

"Okay, wait a minute, sir..." the shopkeeper said with a smile, and then saw a waiter running to the backyard to ask the chef to cook and cook wine.

They found a clean table and sat down.

"I didn't expect such a scene in this farmyard. Fortunately, I can live in a shop here today. If I don't go forward, I won't be able to find food." Cheng Bo unloaded the carriage.He led the horse into the stable again, came over and said.

"The guest officer saw that he was the one who often walked this way. The guest officers didn't know that from our village to Dachuan Mountain and Yingzuiyan, there was no place to live in a radius of tens of miles, and there were many thieves on this road. , It’s not convenient to drive at night. Our shop has been here for more than ten years. The business is aboveboard, the food is clean, the housing is exquisite, the old and the young are not cheated, and the horses are fed and watered, which completely makes the guests happy. Let's go happily...Guest officer, what dishes to order, the signature of this restaurant is beef, braised, braised, and the fish just caught from the lake, the taste is definitely not worth mentioning." The shopkeeper crackled La said.

"Then bring two catties of sauced beef, grilled fish, a big bowl of rice, two bottles of wine, and some other wild vegetables and fruits." Bai He said, she was really tired from the car ride today, and she just felt a burst of pain on her buttocks. sore.

"Okay, you wait, sir." The shopkeeper shouted cheerfully, "Two catties of sauced beef, a piece of roasted grass carp, a big bowl of rice, two bottles of wine, sir, then I will arrange the room for you first, the luggage .”

"Don't bother you with your luggage, we'll do it ourselves." Bai He brought over the package that was placed on the chair next to him. There were thousands of banknotes and scattered silver in it, and the cost on the way from Ningzhou to Datong was also Many, if the banknote is lost, it will be troublesome.

The moment she looked up, Bai He saw the trace of greed in the shopkeeper's eyes.

After eating, Bai He and the others also went up to the second floor to wash up. Their whole body was sore, so they had to sleep well. Bai He was sitting in front of the window of the guest room. Bai He was quietly enjoying a freshly brewed bowl of tea. fall asleep.

Lu'er walked in lightly and asked, "Sister, why aren't you asleep?"

"It's broad daylight, I can't seem to sleep." Bai He stood up and said after welcoming Lu'er in.

"Sister, take a nap quickly, this place is quite quiet, I think it will be comfortable to sleep until the afternoon, then go out to play for a while, and sleep again at night." Lu'er seemed to be in a good mood.

"Why are you so happy today?"

"I don't know, I just think Erlang is nearby, I can feel his breath." Lu'er whispered with a blushing face.

Bai He also felt this way, vaguely felt that Lin Zizhong was nearby, and Bai He planned to stay in this village for a day or two. The village is not big, so it shouldn't be difficult to find it, and he went down the river along Yingzui Rock Going down, you will reach the water inlet of the lake. I hope that the second brother will be able to rescue him if he drifts into the lake.

"Sister, you'd better get a good sleep, you see your eyeballs are popping out, I'll go back to sleep first, I'm too tired." Lu'er, who was in a good mood, left happily humming a tune.

It's better to take a nap, close the door and go to bed, maybe because she was too tired, Bai He gradually fell asleep.

With a snap, the window leaves were blown by the wind, knocking a plate of bonsai by the window to the ground, Bai He was startled by the sound and woke up from her thoughts.Pushing open the door and going downstairs, there was no one on the first floor, then went back upstairs and knocked on Lu'er's door, Lu'er lazily replied in the room that she would sleep for a while, Bai He had no choice but to give up.Cheng Bo's room was locked, and he didn't know where he went.

It was almost night, and there was a burst of fragrance from the backyard of the restaurant. The business of this restaurant is probably not very good. Today, only Bai He and the other three stayed here. They called the waiter over and asked for a bowl of noodles. As for Cheng Bo and Lu'er, Don't wait for now, I'm hungry too, so it's important to solve this problem first.

A bowl of scallion noodles was brought to the table, and Baihe ate everything. Seeing that Lu'er hadn't woken up and Cheng Bo was nowhere to be seen, he planned to go for a walk to digest food. There were still some people walking around in the village market. It was very quiet there.Bai He went out, followed the stone road in front of the restaurant, Bai He walked straight ahead, there was a lotus pond not far away, but the lotus had already bloomed, and there were some bare branches showing With the arrival of winter.Leaning under a willow tree beside the lotus pond, the sun shines softly on Baihe.The whole body exudes a silvery white light.

Too many things happened in the past few days, the monks blocking the way, the strange men, the wolves, and the shopkeeper's eyes, they were all recalled in Bai He's mind over and over again.

Time passed slowly, night covered the land, everyone in the village had gone home, the market was quiet, and dogs barked occasionally.

It's time to go back to the inn, and get a good night's sleep tonight. I will definitely go to the village to look for it tomorrow. Second brother and sister-in-law can only do so much.

Not far away, a few dark men sneaked around the lake and leaped over the field ridges. They were tall and strong, and all of them had single knives. They went up and down a few times and went straight to the restaurant. Who are they? The first reaction was, could it be the bandits on the mountain? In addition, Bai He felt something was wrong when he saw the shopkeeper's eyes at night, so they probably came from bad people.

Bai He couldn't help panicking, and at a loss, she picked up a brick from the willow tree in her hand. At this time, Cheng Bo didn't know where he went. If he was by his side, he wouldn't be afraid. No, Lu'er is still sleeping. Bai He followed without thinking.Several black shadows leaned against the fence and surrounded the entire yard, and then heard a few birdsong, and a group of guys came out of the restaurant yard. They didn't speak, but kept gesturing. It was dozens of steps away from the black shadows, so I couldn't see what gestures they were making. Anyway, after a while, the three black shadows followed Xiaoer into the courtyard, and the others surrounded the courtyard.

Too bad, this is a black shop, no wonder the business is so bad, and the shopkeeper has already squeezed the burden of Baihe with his hands when he was picking up the luggage, and the shopkeeper probably knows what is inside, there are thousands of taels in it. Silver bills and dozens of taels of silver, if these were taken away by them, the consequences would be unimaginable, the most important thing is that these people don't hurt Lu'er.

But Bai He didn't dare to take a step forward at this time, and the few single knives were shining under the moonlight. Bai He didn't know what was going on inside, but after a burst of sword sounds, the courtyard returned to calm .

Then I saw a few black figures around the yard quickly running towards the field ridge, and soon disappeared into the night.

Bai He quickly rushed to the courtyard of the restaurant. At this time, Cheng Bo was holding an oil lamp to inspect the two injured men in black on the ground. A man sat beside him and sneered at the two men in black on the ground.This man looks a little familiar, Bai He thinks it looks like he met another man a few days ago, when he was wearing the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's just a group of bandits, why do you need strong men to do it?" Cheng Bo laughed.

"It's too serious, it's just a matter of raising your hands," the man said, and by the way, wiped off the blood-stained single knife and inserted it into the scabbard.

Both Bai He and the man said with a smile, when Bai He entered the hospital and saw that the two of them could still laugh so happily under such a bloody scene, Bai He couldn't help but feel that this was even more terrifying.

At this moment, Lu'er was startled awake, and hurriedly ran down and threw herself into Bai He's arms. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
