Leizhou's geography forms a concave shape where water and land meet, and Leizhou Pier is right in the middle of the concave shape.
A 舳舻 is an ancient square boat, which is stable and stable, which means that the water navigation is peaceful and everything goes smoothly. It is also the name of the largest inn in Leizhou. It is only three miles away from the Leizhou Pier.
Although it was only two miles away, Yun Xiaoyang and Mei Yuanchen walked for a long time.
Nearly 30% of his meridians were damaged. It was very rare that he survived at this time. He was able to walk on the ground because of Yun Xiaoyang's medical skills in bringing the dead back to life and the clever Qi circulation method in the longevity skill.
After practicing the longevity technique, Mei Yuanchen rarely felt tired. However, seeing the inn dozens of feet away, he could no longer hold on, holding his sword on the spot and panting heavily.
Counting this time, he had rested five times from the dock to here. Yun Xiaoyang looked on, worry hidden in his eyes.
This is a talented, talented, and pitiable young man from a wealthy family.
Yes, Yun Xiaoyang felt sorry for him.
When he met for the first time in Xinglintang, he knew that he could cure his father's disease, and he knelt down without hesitation.
"He... He must love his father very much." Yun Xiaoyang sighed inwardly many times.
However, his father, his mother, his fiancée, the domestic slaves who watched him grow up...all left him after that night.
"Crack! Click!"
As soon as he took a break, Mei Yuanchen started coughing again.
He injured the lung meridian, and would naturally cough violently whenever his body made any major movements.
After coughing, there was still a buzzing sound in his head, and the figure in front of him was shaking a little, which made Mei Yuanchen dare not move easily.
The cough he had just pulled on the muscle membrane of his chest, and now he was experiencing heartbreaking pain. Blood drops slowly seeped out from the corners of his lips and fell on the muddy ground. He had no choice but to hold the hilt of the sword tightly to support his body from falling.
"Father, mother, and Haitang, they definitely don't want to see them lying on the ground..."
Yun Xiaoyang originally wanted to go over and give him a hand, but she didn't. She just took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and handed it over.
Mei Yuanchen raised his head slightly, smiled forcefully, and said softly: "Miss Yun, no need."
He wants to reach out
He resigned, but he couldn't free his hands. With his current physical strength, he couldn't support his body with one hand.
"It's just a handkerchief. What's important? It's scary to see you bleeding. Please wipe it off quickly." Yun Xiaoyang handed the brocade handkerchief closer to him and said to him in a cold voice.
Seeing that the brocade handkerchief was already at hand, it would be pretentious to refuse any more, so Mei Yuanchen had no choice but to take it.
However, he did not use it to wipe the blood. Instead, he held it in his hand, lowered his head, and wiped the corner of his mouth back and forth on his sleeve twice to wipe away the blood stains on his lips and chin.
At the corner of the gate of Shunshun Inn, two men in brocade clothes were lowering their heads and whispering. Both of them are of average height, one is dressed in blue and the other is dressed in yellow.
"Brother, are you reading that right?" The man in yellow robe looked slightly younger, approaching the man in blue, and asked softly.
The man in blue looked hard at where Mei Yuanchen and Yun Xiaoyang were standing, nodded, and replied: "I guess I am right. Zhuge Xingchen and the others took him to southern restaurants several times, and I have Together with him, he escorted a group of prisoners to the former Jaw Palace. He had grown taller and thinner, but there was no doubt that he was Mei Yuan, the sworn brother of Emperor Ruilin and the son of Mei Siyuan, the former Anxian Salt Secretary. dust."
The young man in blue who spoke was actually Xu Xigong, the owner of Nanguo Restaurant.
"Brother, he looks like he was seriously injured. Do you want to take the opportunity to kill him?" The man in yellow whispered, "If he knows even a little bit about our plan during this trip, it will be a disaster!"
Thinking about how his father had repeatedly warned him not to make any mistakes in this matter before leaving, and when his cousin blew the wind in his ear, he really felt murderous intent in his heart. He nodded and replied: "He is injured and can't run away." , look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. After all, he is Mei Siyuan's son. If it is just a coincidence that he appears here, forget it. If he meets us, whether he knows it or not, you will kill him. Leave harm behind.”
"Well, that's what I said!" Xu Suyan replied with a smile.
... ...
After resting on the spot for half a quarter of an hour, Mei Yuanchen gradually regained some strength.
"Miss Yun, I've been waiting for a long time!"
He was seriously injured, and Yun Xiaoyang promised Xia Chengyi that she would watch over him every step of the way. Therefore, although the inn was close at hand, she did not go first.
"We are not in a hurry. If your chest still hurts, we will take a rest."
plum
Yuan Chen gave a bitter smile and replied: "You also know that my injury will not heal in a while. It's not so delicate. Let's go! It's cold outside. I'm tired of the cold girl accompanying me. Yuan Chen is really miserable." Sorry."
After saying that, he picked up his sword and walked slowly towards the Shunshun Inn.
Along the way from Leizhou Pier, they passed by a few inns, but the ones just now looked either too small or too old, so they both made sense to stop and ask.
At first, Mei Yuanchen thought that Yun Xiaoyang was her savior. Since she covered her face with a mask, she obviously didn't like to be seen in public. Those small inns just now were often occupied by vulgar people, and she was worried that they would offend her.
Secondly, Yun Xiaoyang thought, Mei Yuanchen was weak and the journey was difficult, so it was better to live more comfortably. After resting, he would have more strength to travel.
Thirdly, Xia Chengyi gave Yun Xiaoyang a large sum of money, which was used as road expenses. He should not save money on the road. He should eat well if he can, and he should not live in a cheap one if he can afford it.
"Showcase, could you please give us two A-size guest rooms?" Mei Yuanchen walked to the reception hall and said to the owner with a mustache.
After all, Yun Xiaoyang is a woman, and Mei Yuanchen knows that she has a somewhat cold temperament, and she doesn't seem to be good at daily chores. Therefore, he is always rushing to do these things to answer people's questions.
"Oh, dear guest, I'm really sorry. All the guest rooms with size A have been booked. Haha, the rooms with size Q here are also the best. Do you want to take you two to have a look?" The shopkeeper pressed his hands on the beads. , answered with a smile.
Mei Yuanchen looked back at Yun Xiaoyang and saw that she had no idea, so he returned to the shopkeeper: "No, I will give us two adjacent dry-sized rooms. I will send two fire dishes and two baskets later." Bring up the charcoal fire. By the way, give us two kettles, two wooden buckets, a clean medicine cup, and some side dishes."
He just regained his strength and spoke very slowly. Hearing the shopkeeper's laughter, he froze a little. Seeing that he had no intention of talking anymore, he said: "Okay, I have recorded it all for you. How many days will the two distinguished guests stay? ah?"
"One day, two days at most." Mei Yuanchen replied softly. After saying that, he took out a fifty-tael silver ingot from his pocket and placed it on the table in charge. "There is no need to change. Just prepare the things I told you." OK."
"Ouch! Ouch!" The shopkeeper quickly put away the silver ingots and agreed cheerfully, "Don't worry, distinguished guest, these things you have assigned me will be well prepared for you!"
