The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 66 The Woman and the Old Man

Time flies, and the sky slowly darkened again in a blink of an eye.Xing Tai sat on the horse and let the horse walk slowly on the road.After saying goodbye to Changsun Ji last night, he headed north all the way.

At this moment, he hadn't eaten for a day and a night, not because he didn't want to eat, but because he had no place to eat.This departure was a decision he had made on the spur of the moment.

He just thought that he could buy everything if he had money, but he didn't expect that because of the rain, he didn't see a place where he could eat, not even a place to drink water.

Every household closed their doors tightly, thinking that after the rain stopped today, things would change.That's right, this afternoon he came across a few villages where the doors were open, but the villagers were all busy splashing water from their own homes.No one cared about him at all.

He took silver taels to buy some food, but no one paid him any attention.In recent years, except for this rain disaster.There was no major disaster in the country of Yan, so these villagers also had some surplus food in their families.

It's just that because of the unexpected heavy rain, most of them were soaked by the rain.There wasn't much good food, and my family couldn't have enough to eat, so how could they sell it to a foreigner like him.

There are even a few hooligans, because there is no production on weekdays, and the family has already stopped cooking.His eyes were red with hunger, and when he saw Xingtai's horse, he wanted to snatch it.After being beaten away by him, he hid.

After walking for a while, he was really thirsty, so he found a water hole that looked cleaner and took a few sips of it with his hands.

Xingtai now has no idea how fast he can go.The horse he sat down had been running for a day and a night, and he didn't eat anything, but just drank a few sips of rainwater with him.Now that he didn't foam at the mouth, just fell to the ground and couldn't get up, he was already considered a good horse.

The sky was completely dark, and a few sparse stars hung alone in the sky.Just like Xing Tai who is alone in this wilderness.

Xing Tai licked his thirsty and peeling lips, the little water he drank in the afternoon had already been excreted with a bubble of yellow liquid.He stroked the mane on the horse's head, smiled and said: "Horse, horse. You have to stop! When I get through this difficult time, young master, I will let you follow the popular food and drink spicy food."

After finishing speaking, Xing Taibai raised his head lazily in boredom, and suddenly saw a bright light in front of him, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.People who live on the main road in the suburbs are either posthouses or inns.But where?It is better than him looking at the moon and counting the stars in this wilderness.

"Horse, come on. You and my brother have a turning point. Come on, we will reach the other shore soon."

With Xing Tai's cheering and encouragement, the horse still walked slowly.If a crow flew by at this moment, it would definitely pull a few ellipses from Xingtai's head.

But fortunately, this horse was up to the challenge. Although it was walking slowly, it did not lie down and put Xing Tai directly on the road.

There is a saying that Wangshan runs to a dead horse, but Xingtai wants to expand this saying.Seeing lights in the wilderness can also run dead horses.The light looked very close, but it was enough for Xing Tai to walk for nearly an hour.

Finally, when he reached the place where the light was on, Xing Tai sat on his horse and looked down, it was an inn.Although it is a bit dilapidated, it can also live in people.

After bumping on horseback for a day and a night, Xingtai's bones almost fell apart.Supporting his waist, Xing Tai got off the horse and shouted to the inn: "Xiao Er, lead my horse to the stable. I will feed it with the best grass and food, and you will be rewarded."

"Here we come, guest officer." A female voice came from the inn.Then, a woman came out from inside, about twenty years old, although she was wearing coarse cloth, her natural beauty was hard to resist.

Meeting such a beautiful woman in this wilderness, Xing Tai couldn't help but take a second look.He thinks he has played all over the capital, but there are not many people who look like this.

The woman led the horses to the stables, and Xing Tai walked into the inn.There was an old man inside, who seemed to be of a certain age.After walking a few steps forward, Xing Tai asked, "Do you have any good wine and food? Serve them all up. I won't miss the taels of silver."

The old man looked up and down, raised the corner of his mouth, and said frivolously: "There is no good wine, but there is a pot of yellow soup. If you want, I will piss for you. It is also hot."

Xing Tai was taken aback for a moment, he was really not used to it.In the capital, he always finds trouble for others, and no one else troubles him yet.He picked out his ears, smiled at the old man, "I didn't hear clearly just now, please say it again."

"I never say it a second time. It's your business if you don't hear clearly. However, since you asked me beggingly, I will tell you mercifully."

"I said, if you want it now, you can also have a sip of hot yellow soup." The old man looked at Xing Tai and said word by word.

"Okay, no one has ever spoken to me like this, I remember you." Xing Tai looked at the old man with a smile on his face, then picked up the abacus from the table, and swung it fiercely at his face.

Hearing a "pa", half an abacus-shaped imprint appeared on the old man's face.The old man covered his face and looked at Xing Tai angrily, and Xing Tai looked at him not to be outdone.

At this time, the woman who had led Xingtai's horse came in, and seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, she hurried forward to persuade them.After understanding the reason for the quarrel between the two, he smiled and said to Xingtai: "Guest officer, we only provide accommodation, not food and drinks. However, if the guest officer needs it today, then I will cook some home-cooked dishes. Mr. Wang Don't be disgusted."

Xing Tai nodded. He was really hungry and didn't bother to express his anger. He just said to the old man: "Your daughter persuaded me today, so I will forgive you once. Don't make trouble with me again."

"Hey, boy, you can see clearly. This is not my daughter, but my wife." After finishing speaking, he kissed the woman's face.

Xing Tai was a little surprised, the age difference between the two was too great.And this old man has no money or power, how could he marry such a beautiful wife.However, seeing that the woman didn't open her mouth to object, he didn't say anything. For him now, the most important thing is to have a good meal, and the rest of the things have to stand aside.

Xing Tai asked for a room, ordered the food to be ready, and sent it to his room.Then, he left the counter and turned out of the lobby.

After Xing Tai left, the old man said with a stern face: "Why are you so polite to him? It's just a two-legged sheep. Seeing that he is wearing brocade clothes and riding a horse, he must be worth a lot of money, so kill him You can harvest some silver taels again.”

"Because this young man is dressed in extraordinary clothes, he must have some status. Let's not worry too much, this man will leave at dawn tomorrow."

"It's not the first time we've done this kind of thing. This man in the wilderness, kill him and throw his body in the wild. It will turn into a corpse overnight. No matter what his identity is, who knows."

"You and I must be careful when doing this kind of thing. I always feel that this person is of extraordinary status, so let him go!"

Then head north.
