The rainstorm was so airtight that the station was shrouded in a curtain of water. The raindrops were so dense that they almost cut off the air that several people relied on to breathe.
The several hounds that were so active at night were lying on the ground with their heads hanging down, their tongues hanging out, breathing heavily, and their dark eyes glancing around from time to time.
When the heavy rain first fell, it seemed quite fresh, but as the sound between heaven and earth was only the sound of waterfalls, Jin Tiaojiang's mind gradually became irritable, and he simply retracted from the window to look at the inn.
Generally speaking, there are postmasters, postmen, horsemen, etc. in this inn. There should be a lot of people, but this inn has only two gatekeepers left in front of the door, which makes it look a bit desolate.
However, these two people still stick to their duties. At first, they tried to prevent a few people from entering, but I don't know what Jia Orion said to them. The latter nodded and let them in, and then came to supplement them. Some food.
When the two of them left again, Jia Lihu explained that he had treated them badly when he was hunting in the past, and this time it happened that the postmaster led someone to report the matter, and there were no outsiders staying at the post, so he could allow them to stay for a short stay. one night.
Although the night had passed long ago, seeing that the sky was so gloomy, the postmaster probably would not return despite the rain, and the two people outside the door were reasonable and did not come to chase people away.
While Jin Tiaojiang was wandering around the house, the sleepy hounds suddenly jumped up from the ground with a shudder and started barking outside. The noise immediately woke up Huang You, who sat up in excitement.
"Old Jia, what's going on?" Jin Tijiang and Huang You said in unison.
"Someone is coming!" Jia Lihu frowned, made a silent gesture and looked outside.
The two of them followed Jia Lihu's direction and saw nothing but flowers on the ground in a silver-curtained waterfall. They felt suspicious. Just when they could no longer hold back and were about to speak, they saw several black figures on horseback coming out of the heavy rain and entering the inn with a cry.
"The heavy rain came at the wrong time. It turned me into a drowned rat!" The leader began to curse as soon as he was helped off his horse. When he sat down on the side, he exclaimed again and again. It looked like he was in a state of shock. A lot of injuries.
"Hey! The two watchdogs over there! Where is my brother?" The visitor was helped to the eaves, but he said without raising his head.
"Postmaster...he reported something and took people out." The two guards at the door were called so. It was obvious that they looked a little unhappy, but they did not show it and could only answer truthfully.
"Going out?" The man seemed a little disbelieving when he heard this, "Why does he go out every time I come here? He must be hiding from me somewhere, right? Brother! Did you hear that? Brother?"
The man yelled for a while, but did not receive any response. He also frowned and glanced sideways at the two guards with a suspicious look on his face.
The more Jin Tiaojiang and Huang You heard the voice, the more familiar it became, and they quietly looked out from the gap in the window. I happened to catch a glimpse of this man's side face facing me. He also frowned and cursed secretly: Bad luck!
It turned out that the person who came was none other than the street vendor in Yangdu City that day. Now that they heard that this vendor and the postmaster were brothers, they were very surprised.
"This bastard is so brave that he dares to chase him here!" Huang You sneered when he saw this man's arrogant look and was about to walk out the door.
"Brother Huang You, please be patient. It seems that this vendor is not here just for us!" Jin Tijiang quickly stopped Huang You and advised: "And what this vendor just said probably means that he has a delicate relationship with the two guards. , if we show up, I’m afraid it will cause them unnecessary trouble!”
Huang You nodded when he heard this, thinking that the two guards had made it convenient for them after all. At this time, they didn't know what the postmaster's character was like. If the postmaster colluded with this vendor, once they left here, the guard would inevitably be put in the shoes.
"From what you two said, could it be... that you know this guy?" Jia Lihu had just stopped the barking of the hound, and was a little surprised to hear the conversation between the two.
"Haha, it's more than just acquaintance..." Jin Tiaojiang sneered when he heard this, and told the story about how he got angry when he encountered this vendor who tried to force him to buy and sell, and then had a dispute with the two of them, and was severely injured by Huang You.
"Haha... You really deserve it!" Jia Lihu couldn't wait to clap his hands after hearing this, and said with a bad smile: "This guy relies on his brother to be the postmaster and deceives and bullies the weak every day. Recently, he has got fake medicines from who knows where. Man...fortunately he didn't cause any big trouble! It's better now! We finally encountered a hard fight! You really deserve it!" After speaking, Jia Orianhu spat again.
As soon as the vendor withdrew his eyes, he suddenly saw a figure in the house flashing through the gap in the window. He rolled his eyes and chuckled: "You two watchdogs are really loyal. Wait until I see you." Big brother, I will definitely give you two a nice word..."
Then he pursed his lips toward the house where Jin Tiaojiang and others were staying, and sneered: "You guys, don't be stunned, go and help me get the eldest brother out!"
The several strong men behind the vendors nodded and walked around from the corridors on all sides to the house opposite the main entrance.
"Stop! No one can enter here without the permission of the postmaster!" The two guards frowned, stepped lightly in front of the strong men, and placed one hand on the saber at their waist. .
"You two stubborn watchdogs! It's not like you don't know the relationship between the postmaster and me. Get out of my way!" Seeing the reactions of the two guards, the vendor became even more suspicious and cursed directly.
"It's either the postmaster or it can't be done!" The two guards flicked their thumbs and saw a four-finger-width section of the long knife at their waists exposed. The white light of the sword actually dispelled the darkness in the post station.
"Oh?" The vendor narrowed his eyes when he saw this and sneered: "Brother, this is your good subordinate. I don't even pay attention to you today, I'm afraid I will step on your head tomorrow!"
"We are just following the order of the postmaster, and the postmaster is indeed not here..." One of the guards frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Okay! I don't want to embarrass you... Since you said that the eldest brother is not here, do you dare to open the door and let my people check outside?" the vendor said coldly.
"This..." Because key documents are often stored in this inn, there is an unwritten rule that outsiders cannot be accommodated. Last night, they only allowed Jia Lianhu to store them here for a short rest, but they did not expect to meet them. When it comes to such a thing, if this petty guy discovers the presence of outsiders in the house, he will definitely not let them have an easy time in the future.
"What's going on outside? Is the postmaster back?" Just when the guard didn't know how to reply, he suddenly heard a lazy voice coming from inside the house. As the door creaked open, Jia Orion walked out rubbing his eyes.
"Eh? Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here! Come on, you wolves!" When Jia Lihu saw the two guards confronting the strong men with unkind expressions, his expression changed and he whistled in his mouth. .
As soon as the whistle fell, several black winds were seen blowing up. The hounds in the house instantly appeared behind Jia Lihu, and then surrounded the group of strong men. The strong man bared his fangs.
Although they knew clearly that these hounds were helping them to rescue themselves, the two guards could not control their hearts trembling, and the cold light on their hands quietly retreated.
"Hey, hey, hey... shut up... Jia Lihu, please shut up..." The stall vendor, who was still very aggressive a moment ago, felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and he was dragged up by a huge force, and was pulled into the mud in the courtyard and spun around. Circled.
"Eh? Brother Lu Chun? Why is it you?" Hearing the words of the visitor, Jia Lihu also looked startled, "Quick, quick, quick! You wolf cub! Bring my brother Lu Chun in quickly!"
The hound nodded after listening to Jia Lihu's words, and with a flick of his head, Lu Chun was thrown from the mud to the corridor. Before the latter could react after hearing this, he felt a huge force coming from behind him, his eyes went black, and he was almost thrown to his death.
"Brother Lu Chun, are you okay?" Seeing Lu Chun's silence, Jia Liehu also grinned and asked in a low voice, "Wolf cub, what did you do? Hurry up and see how my brother Lu Chun is doing. ?”
"Don't... farewell... I'm fine!" Lu Chun was hit with stars in his eyes. He didn't have any strength to reply, but when he heard Jia Lihu's words, he sat up with a groan. It was a medical miracle.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Jia Lihu patted his chest reassuringly, and then asked in confusion: "Brother Lu Chun, if you don't sell medicine in Yangdu properly, why are you here in this rainy day? ?”
Lu Chun gasped for breath, then waved his hands and said: "Oh...forget it, my business was doing well, but I was ruined by two little bastards who came from nowhere..." Although This Lu Chun is not very old, even much younger than Jin Tijiang and Huang You, but he doesn't have the slightest sense of propriety when he speaks.
"Isn't this a living god I met some time ago? He said that there is a way to get rich and rise in the West, and when you get there, there will be people to guide you! Bah! Bullshit living god, I think he is a liar!" Lu Chun became more and more angry as he spoke, In the end, it was able to knock the ground with a thud.
However, it didn't matter that he knocked like this, it actually caused the hounds to make whining sounds in their throats. Lu Chun was frightened, and he quickly stopped his movements and smiled apologetically at the hounds.
"Living immortal?" Although Jia Liehu may not have heard it, Jin Tijiang and Huang You are no strangers to this term. At this time, when they heard that the man named Lu Chun also mentioned this name, they were surprised. This person became a little curious.
