Chapter 39 3 The first meal in Jianghu, soaking wheat in boiling water
The old donkey on his crotch walked slowly, not in a hurry, and Qin He was so anxious that he wanted to whip it.

But Qin He didn't know the way, but the old donkey seemed to know the way, walking slowly among the mountain roads.

Although the sunset at dusk looked beautiful, it was about to set down the mountain, and the sky was dim.

The surroundings were all barren hills, and he didn't even see half a person. He didn't know if it was a bird or a ghost. They kept cooing. Qin He thought of the two corpses just now, and felt cold all over his body.

Qin He didn't know the way, so he could only lie on the old donkey and watch it walk slowly on the mountain passage.

Qin He recalled the history of the Yuan Dynasty in the history books.

"The Tatars crossed the border and took hundreds of thousands of young men and women from the two rivers in Shandong, and killed them all!"

Anyway, the Yuan Dynasty in the history books gives people the impression of cruelty. The status of the Han people is low, there are constant uprisings, and finally Lao Zhu took over.

But there are many different things in this world, there are martial arts, rivers and lakes, and rebels, which are somewhat different from the Yuan Dynasty on my own earth.

Qin He thought of the woman who slapped the two big men to death just now. Obviously, the rivers and lakes in this world are not as simple as he imagined.

I don't know how long it took, the old donkey barked a few times slowly, and the drowsy Qin He quickly sat up straight. Only then did he realize that not far in front of him, there were a few bright lanterns hanging under the eaves. At this time, the sky was already dark, but it was still possible to vaguely see the low earth houses on both sides, and the surrounding area was empty, obviously it was no longer a barren mountain.

"Oh, I finally saw a figure, where is it?"

Qin He didn't know where this was. He only inherited Liu Xiaofei's memories of a few ancestral sword skills, but he was on a mission for ten years, so he should look around first before talking!

Qin He got off the donkey and led it to the lantern. Only then did he realize that there were four big characters on the eaves.

"Pleasure Inn!"

"Hey, the name is a bit familiar. It seems that there is such an inn in many martial arts dramas. Qin He finally feels a little bit of the world!"

The door of the inn was closed, Qin He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a voice came from inside.

"I'm coming!"

Soon, the door of the inn was opened, and a person who looked like a waiter appeared. Qin He was dressed up, and there were long knives on both sides of the old donkey tied with black cloth. The waiter's eyes showed a glimmer of light.

"Guest officer, are you hitting the tip or staying at the hotel?"

Qin He coughed. As a modern person, he really doesn't understand what it means to be sharp, but he can pretend to understand if he doesn't understand, he coughed twice and said.

"How much does it cost to stay in a hotel?"

"Guest officer, this store has upper class rooms and lower class rooms. The upper class rooms cost ten renminbi a night, while the lower class rooms cost six renminbi. Those who have horses and donkeys need to pay an extra two renminbi. This store has fodder and special waiters. Excuse me." Which kind do you want?"

Qin He touched his pocket and found that he only had a dozen copper coins he had just received. Damn it, it was so difficult to go out and have no money!

Qin He thought for a while, and still said.

"Then wait for the room, my donkey, you have to take care of it!"

"Hole, sir, your room is on the second floor of the inn, Room 204. You can go to put your luggage first, and then go to the lobby to register and pay the room fee!"

With that said, Qin He took off the two sacks and two long knives wrapped in black cloth from the old donkey, and then asked the waiter to take his old donkey away.

The black cloth on the long knife is the black clothes worn by the two thugs. Qin He felt that it was quite strong, so he took it off to wrap the long knife. Otherwise, with the shining long knife, he always felt like he would be checked by the police. Yes, this is a controlled knife!

Qin He felt that his body was quite good, much better than his real body. There were two sacks of wheat on his shoulders, plus two long knives, which weighed twenty or thirty catties, but he couldn't feel the weight. .

After Xiao Er led the old donkey away, Qin He pushed open the gate of the inn compound, and then walked in.

The inn is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits. The area is quite large. Perhaps the land in ancient times was not valuable. The courtyard outside is quite large. There is a stable for feeding horses in the east and a kitchen in the west. Qin He feels quite curious. , looking around.

As a modern person, he was really curious about these environments. The real inn was inside, with bright lights inside. Qin He opened the door and strode in.

"Depend on!"

Qin He cursed secretly in his heart, as soon as he opened the door, Qin He realized that the business of this inn is also very good!
In the lobby of the inn, there were more than [-] tables neatly arranged, no matter how many people could sit there, but at this time, most of the tables inside were already full.

Qin He doesn't like to socialize much in reality, and he doesn't have many friends, so he is not used to facing such people, and they are also martial arts people with weapons.

Because the moment Qin He pushed open the door of the inn, everyone in the lobby fell in love with him. Everyone looked around at him, and when they saw a shivering young man, everyone lost interest immediately and continued to bow their heads to eat and drink. .

Qin He carefully carried his sack and two long knives, walked through the lobby, and walked towards the second floor of the inn.

After going upstairs, Qin He breathed a sigh of relief and glanced down. They were all black heads. There were at least 70 people, and everyone had weapons on their desks or on their backs. What's going on? thing?

Although Qin He was in a daze just now, he also knew that there were barren mountains and ridges nearby. Although this inn was indeed scarce, it didn't have that much passenger flow!

Qin He couldn't figure it out, so he gave up. He found room 204 on the second floor and pushed open the room. Only then did he realize that there were two beds inside, and there was a baggage on one of the beds.

Qin He thought for a while, put down the sack, and sat on the bed in a daze. This world is really different from what he imagined. Although the task time is still ten years away, Qin He doesn't want to stay in this world for a moment.

It's too dangerous, and it kills people without blinking an eye. Even women are so fierce, how can they protect themselves.

Qin He shook his head and sighed, only then remembered that he had to go downstairs to register and pay the fee.

After thinking for a while, Qin He took down a long knife, wrapped it in a black cloth, and carried it on his back like the gangsters downstairs. Then he summoned up his courage and walked downstairs.

Seeing Qin He coming downstairs, the people in the lobby were all the same, eating their own food, but Qin He felt a strange atmosphere, because everyone didn't talk much, but they ate very slowly, and occasionally drank a sip of wine. Adding vegetables seems to be a waste of time.

Qin He carefully walked around the crowd and walked to the counter of the inn. An old man looked at Qin He walking over with a smile.

"Guest, you are here to pay for the room, right?"

"Well, yes, I live in 204 on the second floor, and I still have an old donkey, please tell me how much it is?"

"The rent is six cents, two cents for the donkey, and eight cents together. Does the guest officer still need to eat and drink?"

Qin He touched the dozen or so copper coins in his pocket, swallowed a little, but still asked.

"How much is the meal?"

"The guest officer can look at this menu!"

The old man handed over a small book with a wooden cover. Qin He opened it, swallowed, and finally thought about it.

"Do you have boiling water here? You don't need money, do you?"

"If the guest officer needs boiling water or a change of clothes, you can go to the bathhouse in the north. It's free!"

"Okay! Let me take a look first!"

After speaking, Qin He put down the menu, paid eight Wen, and walked towards the second floor.

Damn, a steamed bun costs two cents, and there are other dishes that start at ten cents, and Qin He didn't dare to turn over the meat and the like. Thinking about it this way, the accommodation costs eight cents. It's too expensive.

Qin He went upstairs, took a pottery bowl from the sack, filled it with some cooked wheat, and finally thought about it, and stuffed his sack and another long knife under the bed together.

Then he walked towards the outer courtyard of the inn with the pottery bowl in his hand. He was going to get some boiling water to soak the cooked wheat for dinner. Right now, he could only do this. He took one step at a time.

As soon as Qin He went downstairs, he saw two people walking out of a room in the inner courtyard of the inn. When he looked through the light, Qin He was suddenly startled and quickly walked outside.

Those two people were the two women with strong martial arts that they met earlier, Qin He felt uncomfortable when he thought that the woman had slapped the two men to death with a light palm.

After walking out of the inn gate, Qin He breathed a sigh of relief. When he walked to the north of the inn's outer courtyard, there was indeed a bathhouse, and there was a stove specifically for heating hot water next to it. A man who looked like a waiter was sitting there, smiling. Stay, right now, no one is going to take a bath.

Qin He hurried forward and said to the clerk.

"Second Brother, come, help me get some boiling water!"

The clerk was awakened by Qin He, and quickly stood up, picked up a spoon to scoop a bowl of boiling water from the pot, and poured it into Qin He's ceramic bowl.

Qin He didn't want to go to the inn at this time, mainly because he was afraid of meeting those two women. There was a shadow in his heart!

Qin He found a small stool, sat aside, and started chatting with the boy.

"Second brother, is your shop doing business so well?"

The young man was not very old. Judging from his appearance, he was probably a year or two younger than Liu Xiaofei, but he was still of the same age. Moreover, seeing Qin He's friendly face and being indifferent to others, he started chatting with Qin He.

"How can it! In the past two or three days, for some reason, a large group of people from the rivers and lakes came suddenly. The shopkeeper didn't tell me, but only asked me to serve me well. Just one or two guests, suddenly there are 80 NO.[-] people."

Looking at the bewildered boy, Qin He also laughed.

"Brother, you are not very old, why don't you go to school? How long have you been working in the inn?"

"Study? Are you kidding me? How can I have money to study now when I can't even afford food? I grew up in an inn. The shopkeeper spent two taels of silver to buy it. I don't know. How long have I been doing this, it seems like I have been in the inn as long as I can remember!”

Qin He looked at the bewildered young man, and then remembered that this was the end of Yuan Dynasty, and couldn't help sighing.

Seeing that the cooked wheat in the pottery bowl swelled a bit, Qin He also felt a little hungry. After taking a sip, he felt that the cooked wheat had a certain fragrance, maybe because he was hungry, Qin He finished the bowl of wheat in a few strokes.

Then I asked the boy for a bowl of boiling water, and with the boiling water, Qin He filled it up!
Unexpectedly, the first meal in the world was wheat soaked in boiling water. Qin He couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

The boy didn't laugh at Qin He. Maybe people like Qin He who brought their own dry food and pottery bowls were not a minority, so he reminded him kindly.

"Brother, if you want to fry wheat or cook wheat rice by yourself, you can go to the kitchen early tomorrow, and I can help then!"

Qin He hurriedly thanked him!

In this world, we can only take one step at a time!

Qin He had just had a full meal, and was thinking whether to take a hot bath in the bathhouse while there was no one else, it was free anyway, and he didn't want to wash for nothing.

Just when I was about to ask the little guy, I heard someone knocking on the door of the inn not far away, and I was quite eager to hear the sound.

Qin He and the little guy sat here to watch the excitement, being a melon-eating crowd.

Sure enough, not long after, the waiter who had just received Qin He hurriedly ran to the door, opened the door, and saw a group of people crowded in before the waiter came to ask questions urgently.

The leading man is at least 1.9 meters tall, with a broad body and a strong body. He is wearing a black armor. The middle part of his head is bald, with a small amount of hair left on his forehead and two small braids on both sides. This hairstyle, Qin He has seen in TV dramas, is standard. Mongolian hairstyles of the Yuan Dynasty.

As the big man came in, a group of more than a dozen people squeezed into the courtyard of the inn.

Judging from the appearance, these people are all dressed similarly to big men. They are all wearing black armor and have similar hairstyles.

Qin He didn't have much fear. After all, as a modern person who had lived in a peaceful society for a long time, the appearance of this group of people made him feel like he was watching a TV series. He looked at the clothes and hairstyles of these people with relish.

What interested Qin He the most was the bright-skinned scabbards on each other's waists. The scabbards looked like a full moon, and they looked like the full-moon scimitar-like Mongolian knives in the TV series.

As more than a dozen big men entered, several more people came in, but this time five women came in. They were all dressed up as men, with their long hair tied up and covered with hats. I also carry a smaller Mongolian knife.

What interested Qin He was that these five female-looking girls all looked good, especially the girl in the middle, with wheat-colored skin and a small face, somewhat similar to a certain actress of later generations, Nazha, with a heroic appearance, Although dressed in men's clothes, the size of the chest still can't be blocked. It feels like a female star in a TV drama dressed as a woman, which makes Qin He's heart itch. Seeing a few women walking towards the inn under the protection of a group of big men, Qin He He wanted to follow along to see what was happening.

As soon as he got up, he was grabbed by the second brother behind him.

Qin He turned his head, but found that the second brother who was chatting and laughing with him just now was terrified and his face was distorted, which was obviously the expression of extreme fear.

"Brother, you...you don't want to die! Do you know who is who?"

Qin He looked at the younger brother who was stuttering, and his curiosity dissipated immediately. Then he remembered that this was not a TV series, but the real Yuanmo. The group of people just now looked like Mongolians. It is obviously not a good phenomenon to see a large group of Mongolians in this remote place, and there are hundreds of Jianghu people suddenly appearing in the inn these days!

"Don't be afraid, little brother, come here, sit down and tell me, what is the origin of this group of people?"

The young man just sat down and looked carefully at him. Seeing that the other party had already entered the inn, he was relieved and said cautiously.

"The group of people just now were all dressed up as Mongolian soldiers, and looking at their equipment, they are not ordinary Mongolian soldiers. I...I suspect that those people from the Jianghu these days are all here for this group of Mongolian soldiers!"

Qin He also felt scared, and sat down quickly. Nothing really happened, right?
Qin He thought of the cruel woman he saw during the day, and all the curiosity in his heart disappeared.
