Su Qingluan had made a horse-drawn carriage and donkey-cart in this era, but it was only an hour or two away at best. To put it bluntly, it was still a short distance, not even a "trip", at most it was a "travel". After all, the farthest place she has ever been to since time travel is Lefeng Town.
So even though she had made certain psychological preparations for the long period of "travelling and fatigue", she still felt like her limbs were falling apart at the end of the day.
Although Mu Xingzhi has a reputation, he is not a real official after all. Therefore, he cannot stay in a post house known as an "official guest house" and can only go to a "private hotel" called "Nilv".
The conditions of this shop are simple. Even the "good Tianzihao room" is just a plank bed with an extra round table, an extra pot of cold tea, two teacups, and a slightly wider bed. To be fair, the remaining Su Qingluan's living conditions are not even as good as those after the renovation of the Su family.
But this era is not like the previous life, where every hotel is open around the clock.
First of all, there are night watchmen inside each city to prevent ordinary people from wandering around in the streets after the night curfew. Therefore, after the night curfew, you must quickly find a place to rest nearby;
As for wanting to sleep in the mountains at night, most people would really not dare to do so unless they were skilled in martial arts, because outside the city walls there are few people and dense trees. Not to mention robbers and gangsters, even the large beasts that come and go looking for food from time to time are enough for ordinary people to drink. A pot of it.
What? You said this is not conducive to population mobility at all? Are you kidding me about time and space? This era was still a society dominated by farming. From top to bottom, the rulers wanted their people to farm and pay taxes where they should be, but they just didn't want the population to flow.
In short, Su Qingluan and his party basically had no choice. Before the sun went down, they just went to wherever they could find a place to stay.
Fortunately, including Mu Xingzhi, who actually had the highest status among the group, they were not picky about the environment and could handle any conditions, so the group's check-in went smoothly.
But when arranging the room, there was a little episode.
Among this group of people, Su Qingluan and Mu Xingzhi are the "husband and wife", Song Bo is the "housekeeper", Yao Guang is the "cousin", and there are two coachmen who are said to be hired to help drive the carriage and pull the luggage. six people.
At first, Su Qingluan only thought that these two people were simple "horsemen". However, at noon that day, only half a day's journey out of Lefeng Town, he encountered a group of robbers blocking the road.
However, the two "groommen" easily defeated a group of more than ten robbers and fled.
Only then did Su Qingluan know that these two "groommen" were also Mu Xingzhi's subordinates, even people he had placed in Lefeng Town.
The most amazing thing is that the two of them really have jobs as "car bosses" in Lefeng Town. Except that their allegiance is to Mu Xingzhi, they are no different from ordinary "car drivers" - at least on the surface.
The two of them even have a good reputation in the Lefeng Town area because of their proficiency in business.
Su Qingluan's reaction at that time was to put on a straight face: she was already numb, and she was completely numb to Mu Xingzhi's "transformation" into a subordinate at every turn.
But this will cause trouble when allocating beds.
Logically speaking, Mu Xingzhi and Su Qingluan are "husband and wife" to the outside world, so they naturally have to sleep in the same room. However, as a woman, Yao Guang can only share a room with another man - of course. She can also have a room to herself, but in this case, she will have to pay for an extra room.
"Why waste so much!" Su Qingluan, a pragmatist, said quickly, "Wouldn't it be better for me and...cousin Yaoyao to sleep together?" Su Qingluan then looked at Song Bo, "Husband, please Song Bo, please be kind to me." Take care of me, the two big brothers have had a hard day, please arrange it as soon as possible!"
The last half of the sentence was addressed to the two "car driver" brothers.
After saying that, Su Qingluan took the lead in taking the key to a "Tianzihao" room and left.
"Is there no problem with this?" Yao Guang looked back at the remaining four people with some worry.
"What problem could there be?" Su Qingluan didn't care - the sky-sized room she chose was on the innermost side, and the other two rooms were on the outside closer to the stairwell. If there was any problem, it would be their fault. Problem first.
"But I should let my boss sleep in the back..." They all went back to the room and closed the door, Yao Guang was still muttering.
"But when the two of us share a room, our defensive ability is at its weakest, because I am a person who doesn't understand martial arts at all." Su Qingluan pointed to the tip of her nose as a matter of course, "And if I were with Mu Xingzhi Living in the same place, if something goes wrong, he will definitely be the first to be attacked intensively. He has already suffered the most enemy attacks, and with me being a sluggish person, the difficulty level will be doubled."
Su Qingluan knew very well that if he really took action, no matter how the other five people present were ranked in order, he would definitely be the bottom one. At this time, the only thing I can do is to do nothing, just be a wooden stake and not cause trouble.
After Su Qingluan's analysis, Yaoguang nodded and looked at Su Qingluan with complicated eyes: "You... don't have to belittle yourself like this..."
"I'm not belittling myself, but I'm analyzing objectively," Su Qingluan didn't care about admitting the fact that he was the fifth scum of the war, because it was irrefutable, "My ability lies elsewhere - well, today is only the first day , I’m already falling apart. Let’s get some rest quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow and go on the road.”
Su Qingluan used the dim oil lamp to spread the folded bed and said to Yaoguang.
After saying that, she took off the only wooden hairpin on her head and put it under the pillow. She turned around and asked, "Can I sleep in it?"
Yao Guang nodded: "You go to bed first, I have to wait." As she said that, she sat on the round stool next to the wooden table and began to meditate.
Su Qingluan heard Yaoguang say that for martial arts practitioners, such meditation can relieve fatigue even better than ordinary people's sleep.
"Ordinary person" Su Qingluan said that she didn't understand. She now felt as if her limbs and neck had been dismantled and reassembled again. It was very refreshing. Lying on the hard bed like this, she felt like she was a piece that was about to be destroyed. The dismembered meat, although the body was very tired, but because the whole body was sore, there was really no sleepiness.
So she patted the bed board to confirm the hardness, and then started to sit cross-legged and breathe abdominally.
Of course, she is not "meditating", but "meditating", which is yoga relaxation.
Of course, there was no need to think about overly strenuous movements such as sun salutations. She didn't dare to do them on the bed now, otherwise slipping would not be fun.
But relatively gentle stretches, such as cat stretch, twisting pose, and cow face pose, can help relieve body aches.
So Yao Guang, who heard the noise, opened his eyes and saw Su Qingluan, who was twisting herself into a twist on the bed.
Yaoguang...is this little lady Su suffering from some serious illness...
