When the singing stopped, Bai Yutian had a wider view than others because he was sitting astride the horse. I saw a flag fluttering in the wind from a distance, and I faintly saw the two characters "guesthouse" written on the flag. I was immediately overjoyed and said cheerfully to Fan Zhongyan: "Sir, there is an inn ahead, where you can stay."
When everyone heard this, they happily got on their horses and galloped away with Fan Zhongyan.
As the horse's hooves flew wildly, Yuan got closer and closer, and the appearance of the inn gradually became clearer.
The inn is very large and has many rooms. It should not be difficult for two or three people to live in one room and accommodate thirty people.
The horse team arrived in front of the inn. A man and a woman dressed as waiters greeted the guests with great enthusiasm, but they were cold to Cui Yingying, A Zhu, A Xing, and Shi Qinghua, as if Cui Yingying and the four were unwelcome guests. It is better to leave.
The two girls, A Xing and A Zhu, were treated coldly, and their joyful mood disappeared instantly. When they were about to say a few words, they were stopped by Cui Yingying. Bai Yutian walked aside, saw it in his eyes, and remembered it in his heart.
Everyone walked into the inn and settled down on their horses. Seeing that it was still early and there was still a long time before dinner, they asked for a room first and checked in.
Although the lovers Bai Yutian and Cui Yingying were not registered and recognized by the official or secular ethics, they were actually married, except that they did not have a child, so they naturally wanted to be in the same room. The two of them walked into the room. Cui Yingying was a woman by nature and loved to be clean and tidy. After putting down her courtesy, she tidied up the house inside and outside. She stopped when she felt that it was what she wanted. This gave Bai Yutian an opportunity to take her into his arms. Small waist.
Cui Yingying was afraid that Bai Yutian's too much affection would affect the rest of Fan Zhongyan and his wife next door, so she meekly let Bai Yutian kiss her for a while, then pushed Bai Yutian away reluctantly.
As soon as Bai Yutian and Cui Yingying were alone together, all his emotions and desires were filled with emotions, and he couldn't wait to be a well-behaved and obedient man. He walked over and bolted the door tightly. Regardless of Cui Yingying's objections, he happily hugged her onto the kang and put her in her arms, lovingly feeling the natural tenderness of a woman.
Cui Yingying didn't know how Bai Yutian became like this. Thinking about the difficult journey and the many things she had not done, it was hard to accept it for a while. But thinking that as a wife, casually rejecting her husband's advances is equivalent to pushing her husband away. She is a smart woman and knows that this is not good. So she chose to accept it and let Bai Yutian's affection pour into her, sweetly.
After a moment of deep affection, Bai Yutian held Cui Yingying in his arms, wiped the tiny beads of sweat on her cheeks with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Madam, can we stay together like this for the rest of our lives?"
Cui Yingying shyly whispered: "How did you become like this?"
Bai Yutian kissed Cui Yingying on the forehead, smiled slightly, and replied: "I love my wife and want to be with her all the time, you know that. But at the same time, I am afraid of my wife and her cruelty. You don’t know that you left me without a trace and left me nowhere to look for you.”
Cui Yingying whispered: "I don't want to leave you."
Bai Yutian said softly: "Although there is only better in the world, there is no best, and it only stops at perfection. But people in the world are willing to never forget the word 'best', and it is difficult to do whatever they want or not." For the fame and wealth that is most important, for the family love that is most important, and for the partner that one considers to be the most beautiful, it is common to let down the current lover. If the person who is let down says that they are wrong, they have various reasons. If they say that they are right, , I am the victim again."
Cui Yingying was very disappointed when she heard Bai Yutian say such words, and said sadly: "You don't believe me?"
Bai Yutian hugged Cui Yingying tightly, put their faces together, and said very emotionally: "Back then, I was eager to save you and accidentally touched your body. You asked me to take care of you for the rest of my life. I see that you are so beautiful. I agreed for the sake of a fairy. It was a man's desire for a woman's beauty and his unintentional love. But since I walked out of Kuanglu Mountain, I have been searching for you for a year. When I met you again, I found that I can treat you sincerely. , just because I have paid for this love and got to know you, I can feel at ease with your beauty. But you left me on the wedding night for the family love you value most. Only then did I realize that there are some things that I didn’t want. You can get or keep it by giving. I don't want to lose you again, so I have to find ways to keep you, and I have to let you know that I also have the things you value most, such as family ties."
Cui Yingying said softly: "You want me to have a child with you! What a good and bad man."
Seeing that Cui Yingying understood what he meant, Bai Yutian said happily: "It's not bad, it's not bad. Asking you makes me less confident."
Cui Yingying put her arm around Bai Yutian's neck and whispered, "Then you are happy now."
Bai Yutian didn't understand what Cui Yingying meant and said, "I will definitely be overjoyed when you get pregnant with our child."
Cui Yingying quickly left Bai Yutian's arms and sat up, with a happy and shy look on her face.
Seeing something was wrong, Bai Yutian sat up, hugged Cui Yingying's shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Cui Yingying shyly replied in a low voice: "I felt a little uncomfortable yesterday. The Taoist priest took my pulse and said it was a sign of good news."
Bai Yutian said happily: "This Wushan Taoist didn't say anything to me about such a good thing, which made me so anxious today."
Cui Yingying said: "You still say that you are much worse than him."
Bai Yutian put his mouth to Cui Yingying's ear and joked: "Not bad, not bad. From now on, I, Bai Yutian, am willing to be Cui Meiren's slave. I have to go east instead of west, north instead of south, and go up the mountain." Don’t go into the water, collect firewood, don’t fish, and follow orders in all actions.”
Cui Yingying smiled tenderly and said: "This is what you said. Don't say that I am too strong then."
Bai Yutian kissed Cui Yingying on the cheek and said cheerfully: "It's better for my wife to be strong. It's hard for the man you love to become bad."
Cui Yingying felt happy and was about to get into Bai Yutian's arms when she heard a knock on the door.
Bai Yutian asked in response: "Who is it? Is there something wrong?"
Axing said outside the door: "Senior sister, why are you keeping the door closed in broad daylight?"
Cui Yingying smiled shyly, quickly put on her clothes and tidied up her appearance.
Bai Yutian put on her clothes and got off the bed. She turned around and glanced at Cui Yingying. Seeing her gentle appearance, she went to open the door latch and welcomed Ah Xing, Ah Zhu and Shi Qinghua in.
Ah Xing and Ah Zhu sat down at the kang table. They were full of words and wanted to say them out. Seeing the disapproval in Cui Yingying's eyes, they swallowed them back forcefully.
Bai Yutian poured the tea and brought it over and put it on the Kang table. Seeing that the three women were extremely quiet and a little confused, he said, "Azhu, when you entered the inn, the two waiters were not very friendly to the four of you. Have you hurt them before?"
A-Zhu replied: "That's something."
Bai Yutian smiled and said, "Then you must be familiar with them."
A Zhu said: "How do you know?"
Bai Yutian was very happy to get the answer he wanted, and replied with a smile: "With the look in their eyes, they must have seen someone they didn't want to see."
A Zhu took a sip of tea and said, "You won't hurt her, right?"
Bai Yutian sat down next to Cui Yingying and replied with a smile: "Since you care about her so much, I won't hurt her. But do you know why they are here and disguised as waiters in the inn?"
A Zhu glanced at Cui Yingying and saw that she had no objection to what he said, so he replied in a low voice: "They should be ordered to wait here."
Bai Yutian said deliberately: "Whose order did you receive when you were ordered to wait here?"
Shi Qinghua stood aside and saw that Cui Yingying didn't interrupt, so he boldly said: "Who else can I accept? It's my master's."
Bai Yutian said: "Since your master is nearby, why do you let these juniors show up? What can they do?"
Shi Qinghua replied: "The black shops in the world are intended to make money or kill people. In addition to getting people drunk with wine, they also use drugs to harm people, making them unable to fight in the face of death. They borrow hotels to live in, so it's natural I want to do something in the food or tea to make you lose the ability to defend yourself."
Bai Yutian said: "But along the way, we have learned about Mongolian sweat medicine and intestinal poison. They should know it."
Shi Qinghua said: "To be honest, Brother Bai, I heard from my master that our Biluo Lake's Hua Gong Powder is a poison that has been refined over time. It is different from other poisons. It is intended to consume people's internal energy without harming their lives. It is colorless and odorless, and it will not hurt people's lives when it enters the water." It dissolves instantly, no matter whether you look with your eyes, smell it with your nose, or try it with a silver needle or tongue, you can't detect it."
Bai Yutian said: "Did your master tell me how to identify them?"
Shi Qinghua said: "I once saw my master pour a little bit of medicinal powder into the fish soup. The fish soup was instantly fragrant. I tried to drink it, but my master refused, saying that the fish soup was poisonous. When I asked the reason, the master said There are some Chinese herbal medicines in the powder that are incompatible with fish, in order to suppress the spicy taste of the Chinese herbs in the powder."
Bai Yutian asked: "Is it possible that they put this kind of poison in the food tonight?"
Shi Qinghua said: "When we order, we order fish. If they say they don't have it, they must have tampered with the food."
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Yes, we are on the bank of the Calabash River. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for anyone to accept that there are no fish. But then again, since the poisoner knows that Hua Gong Powder cannot coexist with fish, he is not afraid of you. Do you also know about this?"
Shi Qinghua said: "The poison of Hua Gong Powder is known to the entire sect, except for the master, the master uncle, the fourth master uncle, and their two disciples who often work outside. No one else knows about it. "
Bai Yutian said: "Okay, let's make fish soup for tonight's meal, and let's decide whether it's true or not."
Shi Qinghua said: "What if they say there are no fish? Why can't we spend the night on an empty stomach?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I will go for a walk with Yingying later, buy a big fat sheep from the farmer and a few jars of good wine, and come back. At worst, we will have a bonfire to roast the mutton tonight." You have made a great contribution today and celebrate."
When Shi Qinghua heard the word "merit", he was very happy and said, "This is a good method."
Bai Yutian picked up the teacup and said cheerfully: "Come, let's drink to get through the hell tonight."
Shi Qinghua, Cui Yingying, A Xing, and A Zhu picked up their teacups, touched Bai Yutian's teacup, drank happily, left the room, and went about their business.
