Youjia Inn

"Miss Xiaowu?" Lin Yuan looked at the dazed Xiaowu and reminded him.

"Hmm? Brother Lin, you don't need to look outside, just call me Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu said calmly.

"Okay." Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, "Xiao Wu, you are a girl, what are you doing here on this barren hill at night?"

"Well, am I a swordsmith? It is said that the location of the falling star is here. Come and try your luck to see if there is any meteorite."

"Meteorite?" Lin Yuan's expression was a little dumbfounded, "Little Wu, it's been this year, and Meteorite has been dug up long ago, right?"

"How do you know if you don't try your luck? Maybe there are still stars falling here."

Xiao Wu shrugged, "Anyway, the meteorites outside are priceless, and I can't afford them, so I can only come here to try my luck."

"Are you going to climb up?"

Little Five nodded.

"Hey, it's nerve-wracking." Lin Yuan shook his head, "Let's go up with you."

"Wow, Brother Lin, you are so kind." The girl said in surprise, her voice was as clear as a string of jingling bells.

"Xiao Wu, be careful."

Lin Yuan looked at the charming girl bouncing forward, and could only shake his head again.

"Wow!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.

The moon is as bright as water, and the top of the mountain is even more open.Countless fireflies flew out from the green grass, and the little fluorescent lights echoed with the stars in the sky.The fragrance of the grass on the tip of the nose and the whisper of the breeze in the ear.

Xiao Wu forgot what he was going to do and couldn't help approaching, the fireflies suddenly scattered, and then gathered together, dancing around the girl.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, are you still looking for Meteorite?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

Xiao Wu looked around roughly, and his tone became a little frustrated, "There is no meteorite here."

"But it's worth it, you can see such a beautiful scenery." Xiao Wu stretched out his hand to catch the firefly that was close at hand, smiling like a child.

"What a big heart." Lin Yuan said with emotion, she was indeed a little girl.

In mid-summer, the mountain wind was blowing, the little girl couldn't bear the openness of the mountains after running and jumping for a while, the scenery was lonely, and with a thin layer of sweat, she couldn't stand the wind.

"Brother Lin." Xiao Wu ran up to Lin Yuan, smiling embarrassedly.

"Have enough fun?"

"Hmm." Xiao Wu's face was a little hot, and he knew that his behavior was a bit childish, "Let's go."

"it is good."

As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain, but it is difficult to go down the mountain. Halfway through the walk, Xiao Wu's calves were a little trembling, and his feet dragged, and he fell several steps after dragging.

"What? Can't you walk anymore?"

"No, absolutely not." Xiao Wu straightened his back and strode forward a few steps.

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, and walked a few steps leisurely in the courtyard, his body was as graceful as a fairy, but Xiao Wu was left far behind in a few steps.

Xiao Wu anxiously shouted at his back: "You, wait for me!"

He couldn't hear the man's reply, a breeze blew by his ears, and when he turned his head, he found that Lin Yuan was by his side, as if he had never gone far.

"Can you still keep up?"

"You, what do you think?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"Then, at the speed of a turtle like you, you won't be able to descend the mountain until dawn, little girl, you don't learn light skills very well."

"Ah, yes, that's right." Xiao Wu sat down on the stone by the side of the road resignedly, "Brother Lin, you are very good at martial arts, and the little girl is not good at learning, so let's take a break first."

"Let's go." Lin Yuan stretched out his hand.

Xiao Wu pouted, "I won't go, I won't go, I can't go anymore, I can't go anymore."

Lin Yuan didn't take his hand back.

"Yeah, what's the rush? Don't let people take a break." Xiao Wu turned his head angrily.

"Do you still want Meteorite?"

"Think about it, why don't you want to?"

"There are still two quarters of an hour."

"What and what?"

"The time when the Lucky Restaurant closes."

"Huh? Ah!"

Xiao Wu lightened up, exclaimed, and subconsciously hugged Lin Yuan's shoulders.

The wind was whistling in his ears, Lin Yuan took Xiao Wu flying up and down on the branches, but his embrace was as steady as a mountain.

Xiao Wu secretly opened a slit, oh my god, is this in mid-air?

Scared by the palpitating height, the little girl immediately closed her eyes, and her hands hugged Lin Yuan's shoulders even tighter.

"Don't be afraid, we will be there soon." Lin Yuan comforted.

"Yeah." Xiao Wu responded softly, and the little heart that was jumping with fright gradually calmed down.

The night wind blowing was cool, but the embrace beside her was warm. The dying little girl took a deep breath and opened her eyes again.

The two flitted over the tallest treetops, their robes fluttering.The sky is unshaded above the head, and it seems that the bright full moon can be touched just by raising one's hand.

In the back, the dark mountain line undulates continuously, and the clouds and stars dance together. In the front, the high and low buildings in the city form a line.

The Cangyuan mountains and forests echo the bustling population, and the two walked on the way back to the city, just like walking in a beautiful picture scroll.

"Wow." Just as Xiao Wu opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, he took a big gulp of cold wind.The little girl quickly shut her mouth, and half-closed her eyes to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of her.

Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and slowed down slightly, so that the little girl could see more clearly.

After a while, the two arrived at Falling Star City.The guards at the gate of the city were just a decoration, Lin Yuan turned over from one end of the city wall to the other without causing any splashes, and continued chatting one after another.

"It's here." Lin Yuan put Xiao Wu down.

"It's here? So fast?" The little girl's feet were light, her head was dizzy, and she was a little confused about the situation. "Is this a restaurant?"

In front of me is a small three-story building in an unknown corner of the city.A solitary broken lantern was dimly lit, and the signboard could not be seen, and the two doors were half-opened and half-closed indifferently.

If it weren't for the sound of punches pouring out from the door, I really wouldn't be able to tell it was a restaurant.

"Yes." Lin Yuan pointed to a signboard hidden in the darkness.

"Guxiang Restaurant?" Xiao Wu stared at the peeling and painted signboard for a long time, "Brother Lin, this, this, why doesn't this store even take care of its own facade? Will there be meteorite?"

Originally, Xiao Wu had doubts about the meteorite in the restaurant, and seeing this bleak scene, he didn't give any hope.

"Don't worry, just come in with me." Lin Yuan pushed the door open first.

Xiao Wu had no choice but to keep up in a daze.

When the door is opened, there is a faint smell of wine lingering on the tip of the nose. The lobby is fairly spacious and bright, and it looks like a restaurant at last, but there are really few tables, which can be counted with two hands.

The people sitting on the table were all tall and thick men, not to mention those with sabers and swords. It was hard to find a man without a weapon, and his face was also unkind.Well, everyone in this family is not easy to mess with.

Lin Yuan walked straight to the shopkeeper who dozed off with his head on one hand.

"Ten taels of silver, drink as you please." The shopkeeper raised his eyes and continued to doze off.

"What kind of restaurant are you? Buying such expensive wine is robbery." Xiao Wu couldn't help but said.

There was a burst of laughter in the store, Lin Yuan patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder, and gave Xiao Wu a smiling look, signaling her to be calm and calm.

"Hey, our wine is worth this price. The door is over there, so please go." The shopkeeper pouted.

"Shopkeeper, we don't buy wine." Lin Yuan handed over a bank note, and Xiao Wu's eyes straightened.

"We want a pot of Longjing."

"Hey, I'm finally a sensible person. Please go there, you two." The shopkeeper put away the cash and pointed to a door in the corner of the lobby.

"What's the situation? Longjing tea, 100 taels a pot, my God, this is a black shop!" Xiao Wu, who was holding his breath all the way into the room, started to yell.

Lin Yuan pretended to be mysterious, and smiled without saying a word.

Xiao Wu could only curl his lips and sit down at the table, an ordinary teapot was placed on the most ordinary wooden tray, and there were two white porcelain cups beside the teapot.

"Could it be this pot? What's in it? Gold or silver?"

Xiao Wu lifted the lid of the teapot, "Aren't these just a few pieces of tea leaves? Is it worth so much money?"

"Longjing in Jixiang Restaurant is good, let's drink and see." Lin Yuan poured tea into two porcelain cups and handed it to Xiao Wu.

"Just drink it." Xiao Wu muttered, took the cup and took a sip.

The slightly bitter and clear taste of the tea rolls over the throat, and the stomach and intestines are overflowing with fragrance.

"Hey, tea is good tea, but it's just tea, isn't it just Longjing? Can it beautify your face or prolong your life? It costs 100 taels a pot?"

"None." Lin Yuan also picked up his cup and took a sip, "It's not 100 taels a pot, but 50 taels a person."

"Ok?"

"Dong dong dong." There was a light knock on the door.

"Please come in." Lin Yuan put down his cup and said.

The wooden door was pushed open, and a girl in a plain skirt stood there lively.

"I kept the two guest officers waiting for a long time, may I ask you two to leave now?"

The girl's tone was gentle, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. Her service attitude was completely opposite to that of the thin and mean shopkeeper outside.

"Okay, please lead the way." Lin Yuan stood up and replied.

The girl nodded, and took out two black ribbons from her sleeves: "You two, I offended you, you must be blindfolded on the way to Jixianglou."

"Huh? Isn't this the Jixiang Tower?" Xiao Wu looked at the girl suspiciously.

"It's your first time here." The girl smiled, "The other building is not this building. The Jixiang Building here is just for buying wine. The Jixiang Building we are going to is a place of bliss."

"Let's go first, it will be clear when we get to the place." Lin Yuan consciously lowered his body again, and said to the girl, "I'm sorry."

The girl tiptoed to tie Lin Yuan's ribbon, and nimbly tied Xiao Wu's as well.

The touch of silk on the eyelids is soft and smooth, and the strength of the tie is just right, it will not be loose and see through, nor will it be tight.

"Creak." There was the sound of the wooden door being pushed open.

"Papa." The girl clapped her hands.There was the sound of neat footsteps, followed by the soft sound of wooden objects touching the ground.

"Come on, be careful of the threshold, yes, take another step." The girl guided patiently, "Okay, please sit down, both of you."

The darkness made Xiao Wu a little timid, and he rubbed his butt down little by little, and it took him a long time to reach the chair.

"This chair has a backrest and armrests. The two guests should sit still." The girl reminded the two of them thoughtfully, and then she yelled softly, "Let's go."

The two of them are sitting in a sedan chair instead of a chair.

The hands of the person who carried the sedan chair were obviously very steady, and their steps were particularly orderly. There were no big bumps along the way, and Xiao Wu sat comfortably on the soft cushion.

After a while, the sound of laughter and conversation and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras gradually became louder, and the sedan chair landed firmly.The girl's crisp voice sounded again, "The two guest officials have arrived at Jixianglou."
