When a group of people arrived at the inn, some of them went to the store to arrange a room.

Pei Qingyan brought a total of five people out this time and asked for one upper bedroom and two middle bedrooms.

Pei Qingyan lived alone in the upper room, and the others lived in the middle room on the second floor.

Song Anning and the gang of horse thieves came in after they entered the room.

Because it had rained for several days in a row, the travelers could not sleep outdoors, so they all gathered in this small post house. When the group of horse thieves came in, the upper and middle rooms were gone. There are only a few general shops left for them to choose from.

A group of horse thieves frowned.

"Waiter, haven't you seen that we have a young lady with us? Just give us a large berth, how can so many of us sleep?"

The leader of the horse thieves slapped the knife in his hand on the counter with a bad tone.

The waiter turned pale with fright.

"Sir, there are really too many guests in the store recently, and the other rooms are already full. Besides, when we do business, we are all on a first-come, first-served basis. The rest of the guests come first. They have already booked the room in advance. Now I always We can't let other guests give up their rooms just because of you, it's not appropriate either."

The horse thief snorted and drew his knife.

"It seems that you will be punished with a drink if you don't eat the toast..."

"Little two."

Just as he was talking, a call suddenly came from the second floor.

I saw a man standing in the corridor, calling downstairs: "Bring us a basin of hot water. It's so cold. What can we do without hot water?"

The waiter immediately felt as if he had been granted amnesty, so he quickly responded and ran to the kitchen to fetch water.

The leader of the horse thief was still unhappy and was about to stop him, but was pressed down by his companions.

"Sloppy, don't be impulsive."

As he said that, he raised his eyes and pointed to the people upstairs.

Ma Hu also looked towards the second floor, only to see that the man who called the waiter had a tag hanging on his waist. It was the badge of the Embroidery Department.

His face changed slightly.

Embroidery Department?

Why are they here too?

With people from the embroidery department present, of course he didn't dare to cause trouble. Datongpu was Datongpu, and it didn't matter to them that it was inconvenient to have this woman on either side, so the group grabbed another waiter and took them to Datongpu.

Song Anning's face was covered the whole time and she couldn't see the outside world clearly.

Because they were afraid that she would be exposed, those people found a set of black gauze from somewhere and wrapped her whole body. They claimed that she was seriously ill and contagious, so no one was allowed to come near her.

Although some people noticed something was wrong, after all, how could a few rough guys bring a woman with them.

But they only need to say that it was their sister-in-law who was seriously ill, and the others were brothers from their mother's family, and they brought their sister or sister-in-law to the city to see a doctor, and no one would doubt her anymore.

Because his whole head was covered, Song Anning didn't see Su Zian on the second floor.

I just felt that the voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember where I heard it.

Soon, the group arrived at Tongpu.

The horse thief asked the waiter to leave the hot water and food, then sent them out. Then he closed the door and a group of people found a table at random and started feasting on the drinks.

It was said to be a common shop, but in fact, there were only a few of them in this common shop.

Perhaps the waiter also saw that this group of people was not easy to mess with, and was afraid that mixing with other customers would disturb other customers, and they were carrying knives. Although the waiter felt that these people did not look like good people, he did not dare to refuse. , we could only arrange a separate room for them.

As for who the girl they brought was, the waiter never thought about it.

Song Anping sat quietly on the bed.

To say that I'm not afraid would be a lie.

After all, this was her first time encountering something like this.

It was scary. Listening to the sound of them drinking heavily and eating meat, she couldn't help but swallow and her stomach growled.

Although the room was noisy, the sound still attracted the attention of those people.

One of the horse thieves laughed loudly and said, "I thought you had such a strong temper, but it turns out you know how to be hungry. Madam Song, you are nothing more than that."

The black veil on the head was lifted.

Revealing a face full of flesh, strong and dark.

Song Anning recognized him as the man who was bitten by her on the horse and rolled off the horse with him.

She saw a chicken leg in his hand, one foot on the edge of the bed, and the other hand on his thigh. He waved the chicken leg in front of her and said with a smile: "Want to eat?"

Song Anning pursed her lips.

The aroma of chicken legs could not help but penetrate the tip of her nose, causing her mouth to secrete a lot of saliva.

She is really hungry.

Tired, sore, cold, and hungry.

Her body was gradually losing temperature under the wash of the rain. If she didn't eat something to regain her strength, depending on the attitude of this group of people towards her, she wouldn't have to think about having anything to keep warm at night and keep her innocence from them. It's a good thing to waste it, and there's no way you'll get anything to eat.

So, if given the chance, this chicken drumstick may be the only food she can get today.

So Song Anning nodded honestly.

"think."

Ma Hu laughed loudly, "How about some silver, a chicken leg, ten taels of silver?"

Twelve?

Oh, even corrupt officials dare not be so greedy.

But Song Anning still forced a smile and said: "The strong man is joking. Now that I am a prisoner, where does the money come from? If you don't mind, I have a pearl hairpin on my head, inlaid with the finest East China Sea pearls." , maybe it’s worth some money, do you think I can trade this for a job?”

Sloppy glanced at her head.

There is indeed a hairpin inlaid with pearls.

He took off the hairpin, weighed it in his hands, then took it seriously into his arms, and then threw the drumstick to her.

Ever since she entered the room, Song Anning's hands had been tied.

Looking at the chicken legs thrown next to her legs, and then at Ma Hu who had turned away, she twitched the corners of her mouth and asked: "Strong man, how can I eat like this? At least untie one of your hands for me. With so many of your brothers watching here, can I still run away?"

Sloppy looked back at her and said in a cold voice: "You are a very evil bitch. What if I untie your hand and you really run away?"

Song Anning smiled stiffly.

"The strong man is joking, I'm just a weak woman, I can't run away."

Another horse thief said: "Sloppy, why are you talking to her so much? If she wants to eat, she will eat. If she doesn't eat, she will knock her down. Remember to block her mouth later, otherwise if she screams and attracts someone, We are in trouble again. If you don't want to block it, I happen to have a package of mute medicine here, so you can feed it to her directly."

The companion next to him elbowed him.

"That won't work. If you are mute, it won't be worth anything. The young princes in Yangzhou are very picky and don't like to play dumb."

The other person was speechless.

"I said you are just stupid, why do you need so much trouble? If she doesn't eat, just stuff it into her mouth. I don't believe that food is right next to her mouth. This person can really bear hunger, stuff it in her mouth, and then seal her mouth with a cloth. Isn’t it done? Anyway, all we ask is that she doesn’t die. As for the rest, who cares about her.”
