This waiter didn't know about it!

Unlike the waiter who always stood at the door and waited for us along the way, he seemed to have no idea who I was. Obviously no one greeted him or his boss before this, so even after Caiwei said "We came from Yangzhou", he was still indifferent and treated us as ordinary tourists.

What's going on?

Didn’t the person who made arrangements for us along the way come here?

I subconsciously frowned, and Caiwei and Lao Zhong next to me both looked at me. Obviously, they were used to the arrangements along the way. Suddenly no one made any arrangements, and they both became a little at a loss.

Caiwei looked at me and whispered: "Madam, then we--"

I thought about it, looked at the waiter who was also somewhat puzzled and looked at us who had been motionless for a long time, and said with a smile: "Brother, thank you for your hard work, give us a table of food and drinks, hurry up, and prepare two more rooms."

"Okay!"

The waiter agreed and greeted us. Caiwei and Lao Zhong followed me in and sat at a table. After a while, the hot wine and hot dishes were delivered. The waiter served the dishes and was about to greet him on the other side, I stopped him: "Brother, I'll ask, are there any other hotels nearby?"

The waiter in the shop laughed and said, "Madam, there is only one of ours here, and there is no other store."

"Then your business is pretty good."

"Where is, just a household registration."

I smiled and said, "By the way, come from the south, besides the official road, are there any other roads to lead to this inn?"

The waiter blinked and said, "Madam, are you trying to take a shortcut?"

I smiled and said, "But I'm asking for nothing."

"Then the lady asked the right person, but the lady couldn't copy the shortcut."

"Why?"

"There is indeed a short road to walk from Henan Road here, and many people walk there, but after passing our inn, the government has checked it tightly, and there is no small road to go."

"oh……"

"And, the trail is not easy to walk."

“How to say it?”

"Two days ago, I heard from people from the south that the road collapsed on the other side of the trail and many people were blocking it and couldn't get through it."

“…”

I was silent for a moment and nodded. Seeing that I had nothing to ask, the waiter greeted me casually, then turned around and went to another table to work hard.

Lao Zhong and Caiwei both looked at me, especially Caiwei, and widened her eyes full of doubts: "Madam, what's going on? Who cares about us?"

I couldn't help laughing: "They just entertain us on the road, but they don't have to care about us."

"ah."

"Eat first, go back to your room to go to bed after breakfast."

"Why."

Caiwei and Lao Zhong were all confused. After the three of them quietly finished the meal, the waiter of the restaurant welcomed us to the second floor. Lao Zhong Qianen walked to the door of his room with great gratitude and turned around and asked me, "Madam, will we set off tomorrow morning or at the hour of Mao?"

I thought about it and said with a smile: "Don't hurry, take a break tomorrow, don't rush to rush."

"ah?"

"ah?!"

Caiwei and Lao Zhong both looked at me in shock.

Along the way, half of it was because I was eager to rush to the capital to find my daughter, and half of it was because I wanted to know who was making arrangements for us in front of us, so we were all in a hurry along the way, traveling with stars and nights, but unexpectedly, when I suddenly arrived here, I actually said I was not in a hurry to rush and had to rest for a day tomorrow. How could they not be surprised and stunned?

Caiwei ate and said, "We will have a rest tomorrow, one day?"

"Um."

I smiled and said to Lao Zhong, "You have been rushing on the road these days, and you are tired, so have a good rest tomorrow."

After saying that, I walked to my room.

Although the hotel is not big, the room is still clean and tidy. Although the sparrow is small and has all the equipment, all the utensils are available. Caiwei asked the waiter to bring us hot water. The two of them cleaned comfortably, so I went to bed and lay down. Caiwei was still tidying up and down in the room for a while, then she got on her bed and fell asleep.

The next day, we didn't get up early.

I got up after sleeping very late. After putting on my clothes, I opened the window and looked out. It was a cloudy day. The thick clouds were piled up above my head, as if I was going to make people breathless. But today I was particularly leisurely. I got up Wanwan and washed up. After Caiwei asked the waiter to deliver the food. I sat at the table and ate slowly while watching the scenery outside.

In late autumn, it was almost winter. The wind became more and more bitter and colder. The wind outside was blowing sand and dust, causing a big locust tree in the backyard to shake and rustle.

After a while, I saw Lao Zhong go to the horse house in the backyard to feed his horse.

Today, he was of course the easiest one. I saw him ask the shop to find a bamboo strip, which was filled with fine fodder and fed it to the horse bit by bit. After the horse was finished, he didn't leave. He leaned against the side while combing the horse's mane while talking to the horse.

After a while, it started to drizzle.

There was not much rain in the north, and when it happened to such weather, the road was full of mud. Seeing the passengers going out walking away in the mud with great difficulty, we felt much more comfortable. After dinner, I leaned against the window and watched the leaves of the locust tree being clear and cleaned by the light rain, and a bright green was reflected in front of me.

I have nothing to do and time passes quickly.

When the sound of rain gradually became smaller and finally became so thin that it was too harsh, the sky became darker.

There were a lot fewer customers today, and there were almost no people in the lobby. The waiter also became a little lazy. After sending me hot tea, he leaned against the pillar at the door and yawned.

And I stood at the door, holding the fence with both hands, and quietly looking down.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Caiwei followed me with confusion all day today. Seeing me like this, I became even more inexplicable. Finally, I couldn't help but ask in a low voice in my ear: "Madam, we have been here for a day today. Do you still want to stay here tomorrow?"

I didn't look at her either, and just replied simply: "It depends on the situation."

"Depending on the situation?"

“…”

"Madam, what exactly should we depend on?"

“…”

"Madam, what are you looking at?"

I turned my head to look at her, and smiled faintly, "Look at if the people who take care of us will show up."

"What?!" She was shocked and her eyes widened: "Will the people who take care of us along the way show up?"

"Maybe," I said, turning my head and looking at the laziest waiter in the lobby, the boss who was lying on the counter to fiddle with the abacus, slowly said: "I hope they will show up."

Caiwei seemed to be a little unresponsive, stood beside me and was stunned for a while, and finally said, "Madam, you stayed here all day just to wait for those people to appear, right?"

I smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Caiwei said again: "But those people are clearly walking in front of us. They have been arranging all of this for us before we arrived at these stations. How could we get behind us? We are waiting for them here, how can we wait for them?"

I smiled and said, "You are right, but do you remember what the waiter said yesterday?"

She frowned, lowered her head and thought for a while, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, and looked at me with wide eyes: "Yes, there is a road, it seems to have collapsed!"

"Yes," I nodded and said calmly: "They have been ahead of us, but the distance between us is not too far, because they saw me in Qishan Village and knew that I was going north and that I really set off. It will take only half a day in the middle. The half-day journey may be better or the journey is smoother, and we may be closer."

Caiwei nodded vigorously: "Along the way, the wife has been asking Lao Zhong to hurry on the way, just to catch up with them."

"But we haven't caught up, so I suspect that they are very familiar with this section of the road and even know how to take some shortcuts so that they will never be caught up by us."

Caiwei nodded and said, "But yesterday, the waiter said that a small road in the south collapsed and many people were blocking the road."

"Um."

"So—" She suddenly realized: "So this time we arrived at this inn, and the waiter didn't know who we were, because those people were still blocked on the road and there was no time to arrange them here!"

"That's right."

"That--"

Caiwei suddenly realized something, her face turned red, she looked at me with a little nervousness and a little excited, and then looked at the door open in the lobby below. It was pitch black outside, looking like a black hole, only the faint lights at the door shone on the stairs, spreading towards the distance.

And gradually, we heard a sound of horse hooves coming from the dark night.

For a moment, my breathing became a little rapid.

Caiwei was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe. She grabbed the fence and looked down with her eyes burning. The nervous and excited mood made her tremble slightly.

I wanted to be calmer than her, but at this time, my hand holding the fence was slightly tightened, and subconsciously took a step back and retreated behind a pillar.

The carriage was parked at the door of this hotel.

The waiter who was dozing off at the door had already woken up at this time. He pulled off the towel from his neck, shook it, and went forward enthusiastically: "Customer, please come in here!"
