We headed southwest. After passing Mianzhu, the road gradually got better, but we did not change to a carriage, but continued to ride horses. The journey that was not too long was shortened by us for several days.
However, although horse riding is fast, it also has its disadvantages.
That evening, I arrived at an inn. When I got off the horse's back, I realized that my legs were almost unable to close, and the inner sides of my legs were worn very hard. Although I couldn't see it, I also knew that blood blisters must have been ground. Qinghan limped and helped me into the inn.
Although it was already dusk outside, as soon as you walked into this inn, there were bright lights inside, and there were many people sitting in the lobby, which was very lively.
I asked for a few rooms, but we didn't have the energy to go upstairs. We first found a slightly quieter table in the lobby to sit down and asked the waiter to give some refreshments to fill our stomachs.
Qinghan grinned in pain, so he insisted on pouring a cup of tea and putting it on my hand, saying, "Drink some water first."
I wasn't polite, so I picked it up and drank half a cup.
He looked down at me, smiled, and pushed a plate of candy cake in front of me, saying, "I'm hungry after leaving for a day. Have some food to make my stomach first."
After drinking some water, I took a breath and looked up at him: "Where are you, it hurts a lot, right?"
He smiled and said, "It's okay. I have already told the waiter to prepare hot water and it will be more comfortable to take a shower at night."
He said, looking up at the surroundings again: "This inn is very simple, but now I can only put it in a moment."
I was hungry and tired, so I didn’t care whether this place was simple or not. I picked up a piece of candy cake and took a bite, then looked around and smiled and said, “It’s okay. Actually, this inn is not bad. In such a small town, it’s rare to have such a large inn.”
While we were chatting, we finally took a breath. He looked at the traffic outside and said, "Actually, this place is not far from Chengdu. Do you want to go back?"
I thought about it and shook my head: "Let's forget it."
“…”
"Let's go to the academy to finish the serious matter first."
“…”
"Anyway, the news of my return has been sent back. If Qingchen really wants to see me, he will definitely find a way to find me."
He nodded, too.
Because we were so hungry, there were not a few pieces of sugar cakes. We finished eating in two or two bites. Before we even had the rest, we called the waiter to urge him. The waiter hurried over and nodded and apologized, saying that because there were too many customers coming today, we were too busy in the kitchen, so we asked us to take care of it. After all, we didn't want to make things difficult for others. We only urged him a few words and didn't blame him too much. The waiter thanked him so much and immediately ran to the kitchen to urge him.
I looked at the inn. Although the place was not small, there were really many people. There were almost no free tables and chairs in the lobby, all of which were full.
I said, "How come there are so many people?"
Qinghan also said: "It's a bit strange. This town is not a barrier. How come so many people live in inns."
In ordinary towns, even if there are many people living in it, they only live in various places. The inn is mainly provided to merchants who come and go, but this small town is not a place where merchants gather. Logically speaking, there should not be many people staying in inns, but now there are so many people.
I murmured, "It's not right."
And as they watched these people discuss something enthusiastically, it seemed that something big happened. At this time, Chabixing had arranged the residences and horses of the people we brought, and walked in from outside.
In fact, there were many people coming and going in and out, and no one cared about who came in and out, but his appearance was particularly good, and his dark golden hair looked particularly dazzling. Soon, I saw some people around him looking at him in surprise, and whispering to each other.
Chabixing also felt something, looked at the people, and then slowly walked to our table and sat down.
He said, "Miss, senior brother, is there something wrong?"
"You think too," I said in a low voice, "we don't think it's right, either."
Qinghan said: "There are not many people in this town, but there are so many people living in the inn. It's a bit strange that it's so late and it's so lively."
"Why are they looking at me like that?"
Chabixing reached out to take out his ears. At this moment, the two young men sitting on the table closest to us seemed to be unable to hold back, and stood up and walked over, saying tentatively: "May I ask, this young man, are you a student of Xishan Academy?"
Chabixing looked back at them and looked up and down: "Hmm?"
The young man said, "We heard that there was a student in Xishan Academy, who had a weird appearance and a hair--"
Chabixing frowned as soon as he heard this: "I don't like to listen to these words, why is it weird for me to grow? Do I have three eyes or two noses?"
The two young men were cautious, but when he said this, they were immediately choked and unable to speak.
Qinghan and I couldn't help laughing, and I said, "Chabixing, don't do this."
Then he looked up and said to the two young men: "He is indeed a student of Xishan Academy."
When they heard my words, the two young men immediately laughed happily: "It's really true, I'll be lucky!"
Chabixing still ignored them and only snorted. Qinghan immediately said, "Two, listen to you, are you going to Xishan Academy?"
The two of them immediately said, "Yes, not only us, but almost all the people in this inn have to go to Xishan Academy!"
"What?!"
All three of us were shocked. I looked up at the lobby. There were at least twenty or thirty people. Should I go to study? But I saw that some of them were not young anymore and had a different appearance and temperament, so I asked, "What are you going to do? Are you going to study in the mountains?"
"We're not."
Chabixing frowned: "If you don't pay attention to school, what are you going to do? Go to the market?"
The two young men looked at each other and said to us: "So you don't know yet? Now many people in Xichuan are walking towards Xishan Academy, all of whom are going to watch the fun."
