Waiting for the wind and rain, the city of clouds is light

Clutching a few coins in his hand, Yun Wei pursed his lips and lowered his head, feeling a little sorry.

Counting the firewood chopped half a day ago, it only took two and a half days since Yunwei escaped from Xiaoshengxian Village and returned to the inn.It's a bit embarrassing to get paid for only doing such a little thing, let alone eating and drinking here.But when he found Fatty Ding, the latter just laughed and patted his shoulder, saying that he deserved it, and walked away.

Moreover, it has been nearly half a month since she left the small courtyard of her master and mother, and there is still no news at all.She was the only one on the arrest warrant, so it is estimated that the master's situation is more ominous, and she has no way of knowing the situation of the master's wife.It is impossible for Yun Wei to run into the street and yell that you lackeys of the empire have released the people you arrested. She doesn't have the strength to do such brilliant things like picking hundreds.

Yun Wei looked up and saw Shi Lan walking up the stairs carrying a bucket of water.

After hesitating for a while, Yun Wei stopped Shi Lan.The latter stopped and looked back at her lightly.

"You have been preparing the firewood for the past ten days?" Yun Wei asked after sorting out his thoughts.

Shi Lan lowered her head for a moment, nodded, but did not speak.

"Let me clean the inn in the next few days." Yun Wei said in her heart that it was indeed so, and then said, "I should have done it," taking a few steps closer, "Thank you in advance."

Shi Lan didn't answer, just looked at her.

There are more than ten stairs from the ground to where Shi Lan is. After hesitating and thinking about it, Yun Wei bravely walked up, took the rag from Shi Lan's hand, and at the same time lifted the bucket that was put aside.Shi Lan subconsciously grasped the rag tightly and did not let go, Yun Wei added some strength to pull the rag over.

Stretch out the rag and dip it into the water, form an arch and continuously overflow with large and small bubbles.Yun Wei looked at the ripples in the water and his relatively clean hands, and listened to the undulating sound of strings of water droplets hitting the water surface.His eyes fell on the handrail, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Shi Lan walking steadily and quickly towards the woodshed behind.

Why is this child so disobedient!

Yun Wei immediately put down the rag and walked down the stairs quickly, then turned a sharp corner to catch up with Shi Lan: "Shi Lan, you..." After seeing Shi Lan's calm and indifferent eyes after turning around, she froze for a moment, Subconsciously rubbing his hands on the corners of his clothes to wipe off the water stains, "You... what are you going to do?"

"You clean, and I'll chop firewood." Shi Lan's answer was short enough.

"I'm done chopping." Yun Wei stopped immediately.

"Then I'll clean." After saying that, Shi Lan turned and walked towards the stairs, not knowing if it was an illusion, Yun Wei felt that she saw a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Just as Yun Wei was about to retort, she heard Fatty Ding's resonant voice:

"Oh, it's all there!"

"Treasurer Ding." Yun Wei and Shi Lan said almost at the same time.Yun Wei took a quick look at Shi Lan, feeling that she seemed to be smiling, but when he met her gaze, it became calm again.

"Hmm..." After looking at the shiny stairs and tables, Fatty Ding nodded in satisfaction, looked at the two of them in admiration, and then waved, "Come on, I'll ask you if I have anything to do."

After saying that, Fatty Ding turned around and walked towards the kitchen.Yun Wei hesitated for a moment and followed Shi Lan together, Fatty Ding looked out with rare and cautious eyes when he walked past the window.

Fatty Ding took the two of them to the kitchen, pointed to the bottles and cans lined up, and told Yun Wei and Shi Lan to reconcile the noodles while he went out to buy stuffing, and repeatedly emphasized that this was for the sake of It is very important for guests to prepare food, and the dough must be made fine, soft and shiny, "it feels like satin to the touch!"

Yun Wei was silent in her heart.It was rare to see Shopkeeper Ding being so serious, probably because he was about to entertain some great guests.If it wasn't some big shot in Xiaoshengxian Village, it might be some powerful character elsewhere.After Shi Lan agreed, she returned to the inn to continue her work. Yun Wei was about to catch up, but seeing Fatty Ding winking at her, she hesitated and followed.

"When these big men come, there will definitely be soldiers patrolling the streets. Do the troops outside the city know about you?" Fatty Ding turned around when he walked to the woodshed in the backyard, and asked seriously after seeing that there was no one around.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Ding," Yun Wei replied, "They don't know exactly what the gangster they want to arrest looks like."

"That's good." Thinking of the weird arrest warrant he saw on the street a few days ago, Fatty Ding heaved a sigh of relief, "No matter what, it's better to be careful." He patted Yun Wei on the shoulder, " Go back and prepare what I ordered!"

"Treasurer Ding." Yun Wei was silent for a while, "I have one more question to ask."

"Oh," Fatty Ding waved his big hand embarrassingly, "Don't be so pretentious, just call me Fatty Ding. What's the matter?"

"...Who are you going to give such a well-prepared meal to?" I still couldn't help but wonder.

"That's a big man!" Fatty Ding lowered his voice and leaned forward, "Those people are the distinguished guests of Xiaoshengxian Village! They are all big masters who call the wind and rain, and ordinary people have to kneel and worship when they see them..." But Yun Wei Interrupted: "Who the hell are they?"

Fatty Ding looked around again and lowered his voice: "Prime Minister, Li Si!"

Yun Wei took a deep breath.

As if afraid that Yun Wei would not believe it, Fatty Ding nodded again, and then said: "Yun Wei, if there is a group of people who come to seek medical treatment when I am not in the inn, you must treat them well, business for foreigners Don’t do it anymore, tell everyone who comes to eat to leave quickly.”

"Huh?" Yun Wei raised his eyebrows.After working for more than ten days, she and Fatty Ding gradually became acquainted. The other party should not mind his status as a wanted criminal, and it is definitely not as simple as an innkeeper.But after all, she is new here, and she is rashly curious about what other people are doing, if she doesn't cause a disaster, she might be driven away.But looking at the situation, he seems to be ready to let her know?

Yun Wei's heart skipped a beat: "Who are they?"

Fatty Ding waved his hand: "You will know when the time comes!"

Finally being regarded as one of our own?Yun Wei was agitated, she quickly nodded to Fatty Ding, then watched as Fatty Ding walked out carrying a box until the figure disappeared at the corner of the alley.

The wind blew and lifted her hair, Yun Wei couldn't help curling up her mouth, turned and walked back to the kitchen.

"Tianming!"

"Tianming!"

Tianming opened his eyes and narrowed his eyes, sniffed, turned over, and went back to sleep.

"Tianming, we have arrived." Gai Nie turned his head and said in a deep voice, "It's time to get up."

He was answered by two sniffling sounds, followed by an even sound of dozing off again.

Shaoyu, who was sitting not far away, glanced at him helplessly, closed his eyes and shook his head, then raised his eyes to look out the window.Sparse pedestrians can already be seen from the pane.

The forward speed gradually slowed down, and Tianming finally sat up rubbing his sleepy eyes: "Where are you going?"

"Boy, it's a shame you're still a giant of the Mo family!" Shaoyu slapped Tianming's head mercilessly, and Tianming was so shocked that he hugged his head and yelled, so he had to cover his mouth quickly, "Boy, we're here now!" Songhai is gone. I'll see you later, senior, so don't fall asleep again!"

"Woooooo..." Tianming whose mouth was covered could only answer inarticulately.It happened that Ge Nie's voice came from outside: "Tianming, it's time to come down." Shaoyu pushed Tianming out of the carriage.

"Let's go, let's talk first." Gao Jianli said in a low voice when he saw that most of the people had got out of the carriage, and then he walked towards the gate, and the rest followed suit one after another.

Now that the busy time had passed, the inn seemed a little deserted, with only a young boy cleaning the table.Gao Jianli stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Is shopkeeper Ding here?"

The boy didn't speak, and looked around, his eyes seemed casual but carefully scanned everyone in the room.Gao Jianli just watched inexplicably as he walked to the door, closed it and plugged it in. He didn't know where he pulled out a big wooden stick that was thick enough to hold an arm against the door.

"I also followed the instructions of shopkeeper Ding." The young man smiled and walked back, "Everyone, please wait a moment, shopkeeper Ding just went out to buy ingredients, and he should be back soon."

"Okay." Gao Jianli nodded, "Thank you."

The boy pointed to the long table opposite the door: "Sit down first, take a break, and I'll pour you some tea."

"Don't bother." As soon as Gao Jianli finished speaking, he saw the guy turn around and place the cups of tea neatly on the table, and he could only say thank you, picked up the teacup and took a sip, there was no problem after staying for a while, He nodded secretly to the people around him.When looking at Shang Xuenv, she smiled softly and let go of Tianming's hand.

Yun Wei watched the crowd silently, and could only keep preparing tea without changing his expression.This group of people acted cautiously. They must have been worried about something strange in the tea just now.

After cleaning up, Yun Wei was about to pick up the rag beside him and continue to clean the window, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of an army patrolling past outside the window.Feeling tensed, she closed the window in the front hall of the inn, and after a general inspection, she turned back to the kitchen and pushed against the bolt leading to the backyard. When she turned around, she saw a big face.

Yun Wei took a step back instinctively, and when she calmed down, she realized that this face... didn't recognize her.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" The visitor folded his arms on his chest, looked at the firewood all over the ground, then tilted his head to look at her, asked, and at the same time motioned to the pile of firewood blocking the door.

Seeing her stunned expression, the visitor stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her.Yun Wei had no choice but to reply: "Close the door..."

"Huh?" The man's eyes lit up, and he looked Yun Wei up and down again: "It's actually a little girl, I missed it just now!"

Yun Wei's heart moved a little. This can be regarded as the first time someone correctly identified her as a girl. This person doesn't look very reliable, but she didn't expect to be quite skilled in observing and recognizing people.But he said he was mistaken, so... he was still wrong.

While Yun Wei's brain was running rapidly and finally came to a conclusion of "no big deal", this person seemed to be puzzled by her expression, so he explained on his own:

"Don't mind me, I sometimes have bad eyesight. Speaking of your voice, even if it is low, there is a limit. How to say it, there is still such a little, such a little..."

"High?" Yun Wei answered naturally.

"That's right!" The man clapped his hands.

Yun Weimo didn't know how to respond, so she had to give him a little signal and was about to walk back to the hall.Just two steps away, a voice came from behind: "Hello, what's your name?"

Yun Wei sighed silently, turned around and said, "My name is He Yunwei." I wanted to ask his name back, but after thinking about it, I just said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh..." The man seemed to have no intention of stopping, rolled his eyes and smiled brighter, "After walking in the carriage for so long, I'm tired of eating dry food all day long. Is there anything to eat here now?"

Yun Wei stopped in place and began to think silently.But the time is really embarrassing now, the dishes are sold out, and the new ones haven't been made yet. It seems that there is really nothing to entertain so many guests.Yun Wei was desperately searching for a euphemism in her mind, when there was a knock on the door suddenly.
