Chapter 161
The guy didn't know why Lu Qingqing suddenly asked this, but he quickly said:
"Sir, we have hay, awn roots, dried rice seedlings and dried wild vegetables. If the guests don't have any special requirements, we usually feed them dried rice seedlings and hay, and some water."
Lu Qingqing nodded. The preparations were quite complete. This inn should not be a shady shop.
Because awn roots and dry rice seedlings are not easy to obtain, you can only buy them from farmers by paying money.
But Lu Qingqing thought it was better to be cautious. She looked at the waiter and said:
"My horse is a bit picky about food, can you take me to see your feed?"
The man thought she was just nervous about her horse and didn't think anything else about it, so he said:
"Okay, sir, please follow me." He was very considerate and helped lead the horse and lead the way in front.
This service really treats customers as gods. Seeing that Heima had no objection to being led by a stranger, Lu Qingqing quickly followed the waiter to where they placed the feed.
The inn consists of two parts: the front yard and the back yard. The front yard is for guests, and the back yard is where sundries are stored and guests' horses are looked after.
The feed is kept in a separate room.
Lu Qingqing went in and took a look. The four kinds of feed that the waiter mentioned were neatly placed together.
Lu Qingqing only took a glance and knew that these things had been prepared long ago. She quickly left the room and said to the waiter:
"Please help me feed it dry rice seedlings. It has just walked for a long time. Let it rest for a quarter of an hour before feeding it."
The customer was very satisfied with his service, and the waiter was in a good mood, and his voice was raised a few degrees: "Okay, sir."
After confirming that there was no problem with the feed, Lu Qingqing quickly left the backyard and came to their room.
There are three rooms, one for Lu Qingqing and the two maids, one for the second uncle and the second aunt, and one for Lu Yuanzheng and Liang Pei!
The first thing they did when they entered the room was to check the security inside, and then see if there were any other drugs or incenses that shouldn't be there.
After all the checks were done and no results were found, Liang Pei was asked to be on duty while the others went to sleep!
Lu Qingqing didn't want to go to sleep so soon because she had something to ask Liang Pei.
Lu Qingqing walked to Liang Pei, Liang Pei looked at her puzzledly and was about to ask her what was wrong?
Then Lu Qingqing asked in a low voice that both of them could hear:
"Did you notice the way the boss looked at us? It was normal at first, but then it got a little weird, as if he was afraid of us?"
Liang Pei didn't expect that she also noticed this, and nodded: "I see."
Lu Qingqing stood by the window, the wind lifted her messy hair that was clinging to her forehead, making it look even messier. Liang Pei had the urge to reach out and smooth it down, but then he heard Lu Qingqing ask again:
"Do you think there's a problem?"
Liang Pei looked away from the naughty strand of hair, looked at the pitch-black night outside the window, and said thoughtfully:
"Based on my experience when I opened the shop, the area around Guicheng should not be very peaceful. There may be some terrible incidents. It just so happens that the group of people there should be somewhat similar to ours, so the boss is afraid that we are that group of people."
Hearing this, Lu Qingqing thought about the scene and nodded:
"That way, it can still be explained!"
Liang Pei withdrew his gaze from the darkness, looked at her and nodded:
"Well, go to sleep first. I'll be watching over here."
Lu Qingqing did not move, but looked at him:
"It's only the end of the midnight hour, and there are still a few hours until dawn. Can you handle it?"
Liang Pei rubbed the sword in his hand with his index finger, smiled, and reminded her:
"Have you forgotten that I used to run a restaurant? It's common to stay up all night doing business."
Speaking of his restaurant, Lu Qingqing had something to say, like a curious baby:
"Yong Quanzhou is your hometown after all. It is the place where you were born and raised. How could you be so cruel as to go with us to the unknown Chongzhou City?"
Along the way, the two spoke very little. Now that they had some free time, Lu Qingqing was very curious about this question.
Liang Pei looked at her, his obsidian eyes flashing, and there seemed to be a glowing bead rotating inside. His eyes were rotating with curiosity and excitement, and his reflection was visible inside.
Liang Pei seemed to be recalling his past experiences and said:
"No matter how good my homeland was, wasn't it invaded and destroyed by the Huns? In my eyes, there is no place that can be my final destination, and there is no real homeland."
Lu Qingqing was stunned, and felt that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked:
"Why do you feel so vicissitudes?"
Liang Pei was still smiling. His handsome facial features showed experiences and vicissitudes that were beyond his age.
Seeing him like this, Lu Qingqing felt that the topic was too serious, so she cleverly changed the subject.
"I wonder if those Xiongnu bandits are still in Quanzhou?"
"They definitely won't stay long. They may have already headed north."
The words "going north" were a bit scary, and Lu Qingqing fell silent all of a sudden!
After all, there are too many unknown dangers along the way, and she doesn't want these beasts to follow her north.
However, what Lu Qingqing didn't know was that this group of Huns were far away in the sky, but they were right in front of her.
Just as Lu Qingqing and Liang Pei finished their chat and went back to sleep.
At the same time, on the other side, Lu Qingqing and others were besieged by Jinyiwei Wang Gangqiang!
Suddenly, a group of strange people holding torches appeared. The reason why they seemed strange was that even from a long distance, one could tell at a glance that their clothes were not unique to the people of the Yan Dynasty. Instead, they looked like the combat uniforms of soldiers from a certain country.
Also, their bodies were unusually tall and mighty, unlike the well-proportioned bodies of the people of the Yan Dynasty.
As they gradually got closer, people were surprised to find that these guys had nothing to do with humans and could not even be called "humans"!
They are simply a group of extremely ugly and creepy monsters!
Their noses were crooked and shapeless, and their mouths were twisted and deformed, with two extremely sharp wolf fangs protruding from their mouths, as if they had been severely squeezed by some force.
What's even more bizarre is that these monsters exude a pungent stench, and wherever they pass, the disgusting smell is pervasive.
The smell was like the odor of a rotting corpse, unbearable and all one wanted to do was escape as quickly as possible.
At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out from behind the group of monsters. The man was dressed in white, which made his facial features look wrinkled. He looked very much like a teacher from an academy!
However, this gentleman's behavior is a bit abnormal!
The man walked over to the group of monsters, looking at them with a fatherly gaze, and suddenly said with pride and joy:
"Children, you must be hungry after walking for such a long time. Tonight is your time, go hunting as much as you want."
