Three days of driving.

It was quite successful.

Zhang Cheng would ask the young men to get up and practice every day at dawn.

Chen Dongyue will also get up at this time and ask Zhang Cheng for sword skills.

The rest of the group also strictly followed Captain Zhang's plan, resting on time, pooping on time, and rushing on time.

The team is very harmonious and easy to lead.

But the scenery along the way became increasingly desolate.

The shoes of pedestrians on the official road gradually changed from rag shoes, to straw sandals, to no shoes at all...

at last.

The carriage entered Liaozhou on the afternoon of the fourth day.

Ever since entering the Liaozhou territory, the journey has become increasingly different.

The end of July was supposed to be the time when the vegetation was in full bloom.

But along the official road near Liaozhou 1st Road, there weren't even any weeds.

The bark of the small trees on the roadside was also stripped clean.

Although this road is not full of hungry people, there are quite a few people wandering aimlessly leaning on tree branches along the road.

Those people were wearing clothes like tattered rags and were barefooted. They looked at Chen Dongyue's carriage and horses with dull eyes, and tremblingly stretched out their broken bowls towards the carriage...

The carriage passed them quickly, and they did not chase it or shout. They just watched the carriage go away, and then continued to walk forward slowly, leaning on the tree branches...

This scene reminded Chen Dongyue of the zombies in The Walking Dead.

These people were not infected by any strange virus, but... they were only left with a pair of empty skins.

In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Zhang Cheng asked the cavalry not to make any further stops in the wild.

According to his plan, they tried to leave Liaozhou and enter Qizhou within three days.

That evening, Zhang Cheng led everyone to check into the inn as shown on the map.

According to the signs on the map, this inn is already the largest inn within a hundred miles.

However, at this time, there were only two people in the post station, Yi Cheng and Yi Zu.

There are no other residents.

When Yi Cheng saw the cavalry coming in force, his legs shook with fright, and he hid behind the counter and did not dare to go out.

Zhang Cheng, who dismounted and took the lead, saw that the inn was empty and was afraid that there might be a scam inside, so he did not dare to enter.

He just shouted to Yi Cheng behind the counter: "We want to stay in the hotel."

"If you want to stay in the hotel... you come in~" Yi Cheng said tremblingly.

Zhang Cheng didn't dare to enter easily when he saw the Yi Cheng's appearance, "...I'm going to come in, but you come out from behind the counter first."

Seeing Zhang Cheng holding a short knife, Yi Cheng didn't dare to come out from behind the counter, "You, why don't you come in, I... I won't come out!"

"..." Zhang Cheng hesitated.

"What are you doing?!" Chen Dongyue suddenly appeared from behind Zhang Cheng, "Why don't you go in?"

After saying that, Chen Dongyue strode into the inn.

The Yi Cheng screamed in fright, "Don't come in!"

"????" Chen Dongyue was very puzzled, "Didn't you just ask us to come in?"

After saying that, she sat down on the bench in the lobby, and then looked at Yi Cheng behind the counter with a puzzled face, "Why do you speak so confusingly?"

"You...are you not a horse bandit?" Yi Cheng asked in a trembling voice.

Zhang Cheng, who followed Chen Dongyue in, stood in front of the counter with a knife in hand, "We are just passing by to stay overnight, how could we be horse bandits?"

"Even horse bandits won't rob you," Chen Dongyue glanced at the inn, "In addition to tables, chairs and benches, what else do you have in this place?"

"Hehehehehe," Yi Cheng laughed awkwardly, "Our post station in Liaozhou Prefecture is now in this situation. Our inn is where big horse bandits are coming, small horse bandits are coming, small horse bandits are coming, and thieves are coming. .....

It's a coincidence that you came here. If you came two days early, our inn didn't even have copper pots for boiling water or iron pots for cooking. We only had new ones delivered yesterday. "

"...Is the bed still there?" Chen Dongyue suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes," Yi Cheng nodded twice, and suddenly said as if he thought of something: "It's just a bed, without a mattress, mosquito net, bedding, pillow, washbasin, and handkerchief... Anyway, except for There is only a bed and nothing else, do you still want to stay?"

"Oh, the stealing was really meticulous." Chen Dongyue couldn't help but sigh.

"You still have to live there," Zhang Cheng looked around the inn, "but all our people, carriages and horses have to enter the yard."

"It's cheaper for you!" Chen Dongyue said quickly.

"Three hundred coins...all inclusive, how about it?" Yi Cheng asked tentatively.

Chen Dongyue raised her eyebrows.

"It really doesn't work. Two hundred and eighty yuan is all-inclusive... no matter how cheap it is, I'm afraid..." Yi Cheng looked a little embarrassed.

"Okay," Chen Dongyue seemed embarrassed, "Although you don't have anything, you have a roof at least. Two hundred and eighty will be two hundred and eighty."

Seeing Chen Dongyue nodding, Yi Cheng kicked the postman who had been hiding by the counter, "Go and take the guests to the guest room on the second floor."

The postman stood up tremblingly and led Chen Dongyue and others to the guest room.

Liuzi was the happiest when he heard that everyone had a room to sleep in today. He was swollen from sleeping in the carriage, but he declined to sleep in the same room as Song Bufan and Shui Gen.

"In the middle of the night...the patriarch...lifted my pants..." Liuzi complained to Chen Dongyue.

Chen Dongyue was shocked.

"No, no, no!!!" Song Bufan quickly explained, "It was because Tugen couldn't bear the mosquito bites, so I rolled up Liuzi's trouser legs. Didn't I also... feel sorry for the child! "

Everyone was shocked again.

They all rebuked Song Bufan for being indifferent.

After everyone had been assigned rooms, Boss Shang, who had become familiar with everyone in the past few days, asked the cook to steam the cured chicken and duck he had brought out.

Chen Dongyue provided twenty eggs.

Her four chickens never forget to lay eggs when they are on the road. They are not unprofessional.

Dadunzi provided a large bag of rice and a large bag of noodles, saying that he wanted the chef to cook more rice.

Living in the open air these days, the two-hundred-pound man has lost weight to a hundred and ninety-eight pounds.

The rest of the people waited, and those who had vegetables went to work, and those who didn't had to work hard. Even the four members of Song Changnian's family knew how to go to the old well two miles away to fetch water for everyone.

One meal satisfied everyone.

They didn't know why anyway. They obviously ate mainly dry food when they were on the road before. Why did they have a big meal when they arrived in Liaozhou?

"Will this be the last meal..." Brother Qiao's mother-in-law, named Qiaoyun, thought of the meal just now and felt something was wrong.

"Fart!" Brother Qiao glared at his mother-in-law, "I can't shut your mouth even though I have food?! Our good days are still ahead of us, so what bad words are there?"

"But I always feel a little..." Qiaoyun murmured softly.

"What do you think? Go to bed quickly." After Brother Qiao finished speaking, he turned around with his face facing the wall.

.........

midnight.

Chen Dongyue hasn't slept yet.

She was taking advantage of the opportunity to have a room by herself today to write a letter to Xiao You.

A sudden scream made Chen Dongyue's pen tilt.

The screams came from the backyard.

She immediately opened the window that could see the backyard, and heard someone shouting: "Don't come over here, help me, my boss, help me, help me!!!"

...The one with the fragrant mouth is Li Xiucai! !

Chen Dongyue flew forward and jumped from the second floor.

At the same time, Zhang Cheng, who was on duty in the lobby, also rushed out from the front hall with someone and a knife...
