Tiechui and the other man watched Wuchun go upstairs, hesitated for a moment, and then followed her upstairs.

Before going upstairs, Cuihong gave Shen Ping the key to her room.

Shen Ping knew that if she didn't tell Manager He, he would bother her next time, so she made it short and briefly explained the pattern.

"Ms. Shen, you are so great!" Shopkeeper He exclaimed sincerely.

No wonder Madam Shen can do so many businesses. Her brain is really different from ours.

"Manager He said, let me say something unpleasant, it's really not good to have men and women mixed together in your inn. If something really happens, your inn may be implicated and you may even be involved in a lawsuit!" Shen Ping advised kindly.

"It shouldn't be that serious. Our store has been like this since we opened, and nothing has ever happened." Shopkeeper He disagreed.

"Okay, then just pretend I never said anything!" Shen Ping smiled and stood up: "It's getting late, I have to go upstairs and rest."

"Okay! Sorry for keeping you company!" Shopkeeper He said with an apologetic smile.

After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, Shen Ping felt her buttocks were numb. When she stood up, her whole body ached and she felt like she was dragging her feet when she went upstairs.

The inn was quite spacious, with the corridor in the middle about 30 meters wide, and nearly guest rooms on each floor. Shen Ping's room was next to the stairs.

Manager He was quite considerate. He arranged the four rooms in the same row, so that the people were not far apart. The only difference was that the washroom was a little far away, at the end.

Shen Ping opened the door and looked in. A smell of warmth and smoke blew in her face. There was a stove on the floor against the wall with some unburned charcoal in it.

There is a small chimney on the side, which allows for ventilation so that the room is not filled with smoke.

Unexpectedly, this was done very well. Shen Ping couldn't help but nod in praise.

Kaoshan Village Inn does not have this item because all they use are silk quilts, which are warm enough.

The guest room was quite simple, with just a wooden bed that looked to be only about 1.2 meters wide.

Some straw was spread on the bed, and then a straw mat was added on top, and a piece of burlap was spread on the straw mat.

The cotton core is so thin. I don’t know what it is filled with. It looks a bit hard. I estimate it weighs only five or six pounds.

Shen Ping opened the coarse linen quilt cover and took a look, only to find that the quilt was actually woven with straw. No wonder it felt so hard.

Is this quilt warm? Shen Ping couldn't help but express her doubt.

It was a hot day when she came here, but according to her memory, the original owner at least covered herself with a mixture of reed fluff and kapok, but that was not warm either.

Because it has poor thermal insulation and will become hard and not fluffy after being used for a long time, she later replaced the quilt with a silk quilt in winter.

There was a small table next to the bed, with some crockery and an oil lamp on it, and two chairs.

In addition, there is a wooden box on the other side of the bed, which is used by guests to store clothes and the like. Apart from this, there is nothing else in the box.

Cuihong put Shen Ping's bag in the box. Shen Ping found a set of pajamas and came out. She would not go to the bathroom.

The washroom is far away and dirty, so it’s better to go into the room to enjoy your own private space and take a bath.

Shen Ping locked the door and slipped into the space. As soon as she entered the space, she drank a handful of spiritual spring water and washed her face. Suddenly, she felt refreshed, as if her soul had finally returned.

In addition to growing various vegetables, she also grows peanuts, rice, and some coarse grains. Anyway, they can mature in 24 hours. Except for some special ones such as Pueraria root, most of the time, she grows crops that can be harvested quickly.

Shen Ping harvested all these things and suddenly remembered the cotton seeds from some time ago. She wanted to try growing cotton in space to see how long it would take.

Besides, it is winter now, and cotton is needed to keep warm, so we should plant some cotton to prepare for unexpected needs.

For some reason, Shen Ping always felt that planting some cotton now would come in handy when she went to the capital.

This time, Shen Ping planted cotton on all the empty black soil.

She also left seeds at home and told Dadong that if she was not back by the time to plant the cotton, she should ask him to plant it.

In addition to growing rice and some other grains, the rest of the family's fields are planted with cotton.

In addition, the extra seeds were distributed to the villagers so that everyone could grow cotton, which would not only ensure they had enough food but also warm clothes.

After finishing all this, Shen Ping looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock.

It gets dark early in winter, and people in ancient times had little entertainment. They basically just ate, chatted for a while, washed up, and went to bed before 8 o'clock in the evening.

It's ten o'clock now, which is considered staying up late.

I have to say, this space is really great. It is spring all year round inside and it does not change with the seasons.

Shen Ping soaked in the spiritual spring water for a while, and soon the water turned brown. This was because she was tired and exhausted after riding in the carriage all day.

After the toxins were expelled, Shen Ping's skin became much clearer. She suddenly felt full of energy. She washed her clothes and hung them up inside.

In fact, she could silently recite the drying method, but the clothes she dried were not very good.

Coming out of the space, it was chilly outside and Shen Ping couldn't help but shiver.

The bed is hard and the quilt is not warm. How can I sleep like this?

Shen Ping thought about it, opened the mall and bought a travel sleeping bag.

This sleeping bag is soft and comfortable, highly sealed and most importantly, warm. Shen Ping had just laid down in it for a while when she felt sleepy immediately because of the warm quilt.

She had been riding in a carriage on the road that day, and her butt was sore and numb from the shaking. When she thought that the rest of the time would be the same, she began to feel tired.

Shen Ping calculated that at this rate, it would take at least a week to get to the provincial capital, and more than two months to get to the capital!

Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month. If we arrive in the capital in about two months, it will be almost the third month of the lunar calendar.

These two months are neither long nor short, and I don’t know what will happen during this period.

Suddenly, Shen Ping felt a deep sense of powerlessness. She couldn't take care of her family when she was away from home, and she didn't know what was going on in Beijing. She was stuck in the middle. But this was the only way for now.

As she thought about it, Shen Ping's eyelids began to twitch. She had to rest well because she had to travel again tomorrow. She was probably exhausted. After more than ten minutes, she began to breathe evenly.

It was already midnight when Shen Ping woke up again. She was awakened by the urge to pee. The bed was warm, and although she was extremely reluctant, she had to get up and go to the toilet.

Fortunately, the space has an automatic purification function. The discharged waste can be used as fertilizer and can also be automatically purified. This saves you the trouble of going to the toilet.

After emptying the two liang, Shen Ping felt much more relaxed. Just as she was thinking about getting back into her sleeping bag, she suddenly heard a creaking sound, and the door of the next room seemed to open. After a while, footsteps were heard.

Although it was very slight, it did not escape Shen Ping's ears. Shen Ping was a martial artist and her ears were particularly sensitive.

Besides, it was late at night and everyone was asleep. She would be able to hear a needle falling on the ground.

Shen Ping became alert. Who would be awake and walking back and forth at the door in the middle of the night? Shen Ping decided to find out what was going on.
