Chapter 232 Accommodation

But all the houses were empty.

In addition to the destroyed belongings, there was only some residual warmth on the kang that had been burned all night.

Feng Lao thought that they just went out or returned to Zhaojiacun and missed him.

Until he saw a letter lying on the collapsed table in the house he had lived in before.

And his precious medicine box was moved here! ?

Mr. Feng immediately opened the letter and saw a message dictated by Jiang Wancheng and written by Wen Erlang:

Master:

I don't know where you are now, I'm really worried.

If you can come back one day and miss us by chance, then by the time you read this letter, the three of us will have already left home and gone to Fujun County.

You must have known about the tragedy in your family by now, so we went to Fujun for no other reason than to find Langjun's body.

Master, because I was not sure about my return date and was afraid that something might happen on the way, I took all your treasures back home.

My disciple has borrowed two bottles of your treasure before, and thanks to your treasure, Master, I have saved my disciple's life twice.

Today, my disciple borrowed two more bottles and put them on him in case of any unexpected events.

Master, if you don’t see the three of us when you return home, please don’t worry about us.

If Lang Jun's body is successfully found, the coffin will be carried back to Wushan to bury him again.

Disciple, Jiang Wancheng.

Mr. Feng felt a severe pain in his heart. There was not a word of pain in this letter, but there was sadness everywhere!

He couldn't help but wet his eyes.

Without stopping any longer, Mr. Feng picked up the letter and stuffed it into his arms, picked up his precious poison box, and hurried out the door.

That night.

When they reached the top of the willow tree above the moon, the delivery team stopped in front of an inn in the wilderness.

Since this car dealership is the only one in Qingyang Town, in addition to renting various carriages and horses on weekdays, transporting goods is the main business and source of most of it.

However, due to limited conditions, most Qingyang cart dealers use cattle, mules and donkeys, coupled with carts, as the main means of transportation.

Of course, like the carriage Wen Chaoyan rented before, there were some old horses, but this time after Qingyang Town suffered such a disaster, now even the horses are gone.

Originally, Jiang Wancheng also thought that when going to Fujun County, it would be better for them to rent a carriage or a mule cart.

But she couldn't drive a horse, so she had to hire a groom.

Although she could afford the cost now, after careful consideration, she felt that it might be too eye-catching. If they were to be blocked and robbed again, they might not be able to resist at all.

Therefore, she thought it would be safer to pretend to be poor, pretend to be a man, and follow a group of powerful hustlers like she did now.

After tying up the goods and placing the three animals, the cargomen went in to eat and drink.

It seems that they are planning to stay here tonight.

A night's stay here costs 40 cents per person.

For Jiang Wancheng and three people, it would cost 120 yuan to have three beds.

Naturally, she didn't want to be crowded together with this group of men, so she had no intention of doing so from the beginning.

More importantly, since Jiang Wancheng only had six copper coins left on her body, it was impossible to pay for it, so she had no choice but to humiliate her two children and find an unobtrusive corner to sleep with her for one night.

Just as the three of them were walking out, Niu Da suddenly called out to them.

"Hey, boy! Come here for a drink?" "Yes, come here! You gave us meat buns today, and we'll treat you to wine too!"

Jiang Wancheng quickly refused: "No, no, thank you, brothers. Actually, I am a poor drinker. If I accidentally make a joke, my two younger brothers will have no one to take care of them, so I won't spoil your fun. 伱Drink well, drink well."

Jiang Wancheng looked extremely humble and humble, and Niu Da looked down on her.

"It's boring. So, if you dare to drink a bowl, let's go to the cowshed where our livestock lives today and say to the shopkeeper, how about letting the three of you brothers stay for one night for free?"

"Yes! Just drink a bowl, and the cowshed will be given to you, so you won't have to eat and sleep in the open, right?"

"Don't you think about it, if it rains again at night, won't you all be soaked in water? It doesn't matter if you are sick, but if the baby is sick now, it will be troublesome!"

Wen Erlang secretly grabbed Jiang Wancheng and shook his head at her.

Faced with such temptation and excitement, Jiang Wancheng was tempted, but still refused.

She repeatedly refused, and Niu Da and others were angry and scolded her for being ignorant and cowardly as a mouse.

Jiang Wancheng wasn't angry, he just smiled with an honest face.

She knew how much she drank, so she was afraid that if she really got drunk after just one drink and accidentally revealed her identity as a girl, that would be the most dangerous thing.

However, they were right about one thing.

At this moment, dark clouds cover the moon again. If it rains again tonight and gets Erlang and Sister Ya, they will lose more than they gain if they accidentally get sick.

Therefore, she gave up the idea of ​​sleeping in the open, but went to the innkeeper and handed over all six of her copper coins in person.

"Shopkeeper, please let us stay in the woodshed for one night! This is really all the money left by the three of us brothers. Please be kind. If you agree, I can get up early tomorrow to help The landlady will make some breakfast, and the three of us brothers will definitely not eat a bite!"

The owner, who also held the position of shopkeeper, was unwilling to agree.

He said that even if it was a woodshed, the three of them would have to charge at least forty cash.

Jiang Wancheng didn't dare to show off his wealth again. He could only pull at his empty money bag with a sad face and said anxiously, "It's really gone."

It was the shopkeeper's wife who saw how pitiful they were and said to her husband: "Master, in addition to the two upper rooms, even the Datong Shop is full today!"

"Tomorrow morning, I have to feed so many people by myself. I don't know how tired I will be. Just agree and let him help me tomorrow morning. Besides, six cents is money after all, isn't it?"

The shopkeeper had a sullen face, "Our family is not a charity hall? What can we do for them? If you don't have money, get out!"

"Also, I just heard what they said. As long as he drinks a bowl of wine, they will let them sleep in the cowshed, but he won't go there himself. At least I can let them sleep in the cowshed. Twenty cents is not enough."

Lady boss: "This young man is a responsible man. Didn't you see that he brought his two younger brothers with him? If he drank too much, it would really be inappropriate. Have you forgotten the hardships you went through with your two brothers?" The boss~!"

When the landlady acts like a spoiled child, how can the shopkeeper tolerate it?

"Okay, okay. But since he has to work, let him boil enough hot water before going to bed tonight."

"Also, there is hay in the woodshed, and we won't provide anything else."

How could Jiang Wancheng not agree?

He thanked the shopkeeper and the proprietress repeatedly.

After all, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, why would you dislike it?

However, when the three of them arrived at the woodshed, they discovered that it was still very difficult to stay here for one night.

Because the woodshed was full of wood, and there was only room for one person to lie down.
