After traveling for more than a month, it seemed that winter was about to begin. The weather was getting colder and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. In order to prevent the road from being blocked by heavy snow, Zheng Ling and Lu Ming bought a lot of dry food in the town for easy storage. , The driver also hurried along the road, but fortunately, on the day of heavy snowfall, the group arrived at the destination - Pingcheng.

In the heavily snowed Pingcheng, at the door of an inn, Zheng Ling took out silver to pay the bill, while Lu Ming stood aside with a long sword in his hand and a bag on his back, and secretly looked around to prevent You Xiaoxiao from worrying about the coachman's money.

The coachman collected the money carefully, got into the carriage, put on the bamboo hat, and said to Zheng Ling before leaving, "I wish you, little brother, to find your parents as soon as possible."

Zheng Ling replied with a smile: "Borrow uncle's good words."

The coachman glanced at the two of them again, then raised his whip, and the carriage left slowly in the market, heading towards a certain house in the city.

Zheng Ling waved from behind: "Bon voyage!"

Watching the carriage go away, Zheng Ling and Lu Ming walked into the inn together. When the waiter asked how many rooms they would book, Zheng Ling was about to say two, but Lu Ming snatched, "One is fine." Lu Ming looked at Zheng Ling again: "When you find your parents, you will definitely move in with them, one room is enough, besides, it will be warmer if the two of you squeeze together in winter."

Someone helped to save money, Zheng Ling had no objection, just smiled and said: "I hope I can sleep well this time, and don't get up in the middle of the night to sleep in the dining room again."

Lu Ming nodded with lingering fear.

Although the waiter in the shop was a little puzzled, he still greeted the two of them upstairs with a smile, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Zheng Ling suddenly called out, "Wait a minute, brother."

The shop clerk turned around and said with a smile: "If you have something to do, just ask the nobles."

Zheng Ling said slowly: "I don't dare to take orders. I want to ask you for a place, my second brother. I don't know if it's convenient."

The waiter in the shop heard this, straightened his back a little, and said: "My lord, you really asked the right person. I was born in Pingcheng and grew up in Pingcheng. I am very familiar with Pingcheng. How many rooms are the same in this store."

Hearing this, Zheng Ling was overjoyed and quickly took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and handed it to the younger brother. Afraid of losing the piece of paper you gave, Zheng Ling specially copied the address and wrote it on the cloth. For this reason, Lu Ming exposed his ignorant lies. At that time, he coaxed Lu Ming for a long time and said a lot of good things, so Lu Ming let him go.

"Then, my little brother, where is the address written on it? It would be great if we can find someone to take us there." Zheng Ling took out a few more coins and handed them to the shop assistant.

The waiter in the shop didn't take it, but turned his head and glanced secretly, and then closed the door, then took the few pennies, put them in his arms, and said with a simple smile: "I'm a rough person, I only know people in general. A few words, my lord, please tell me."

Zheng Ling took back the cloth note and reported the address again.The waiter heard this and said, "Coincidentally, the place you mentioned is in the village behind my house."

Zheng Ling opened his eyes wide, overjoyed: "Really?"

The shop clerk nodded: "Can I still lie to you? It's just that I can't leave now, but since I have taken your money, I will definitely find someone to take you there. Waiting, my lord, I will go out and find People." The shop waiter said that the wind is rain, opened the door and ran out.

Zheng Ling and Lu Ming didn't wait long, the shop waiter came in again, and said with a smile: "My lord, I found a little beggar who is very familiar with the local area. If you don't mind, you can ask him to guide you. But, I hope you can give him a few buns to eat."

Zheng Ling nodded hurriedly: "Of course it should be. Is he outside? I'll look for him right away." He lifted his legs and left, followed by Lu Ming.

On the contrary, the shop clerk was at the end, and the shop clerk closed the door with a smile, and ran to the front to lead the way.

When I left the inn, I saw a ragged little beggar standing under the eaves with his neck curled up and his hands breathing, his cheeks and nose were red from the cold, and there was heavy snow outside.

The little beggar was always paying attention to the inside of the shop, when he saw Zheng Ling and Lu Ming who were accompanied by the waiter in the shop, he hurriedly straightened his body and said: "Hello, nobles, the young one can lead the way for the two nobles."

The waiter was about to speak for him from the side, but Zheng Ling frowned and said, "Wait a minute." Then he strode upstairs.

The waiter in the shop and the little beggar looked at each other for no reason, with doubts in their eyes, and the little beggar even lowered his head thinking: Did he offend the nobles?

Lu Ming stood where he was, and glanced upstairs, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Soon, Zheng Ling went downstairs with a jacket in his arms, put it on the little beggar, then patted his shoulder and said softly, "Let's go."

The little beggar stared blankly at the thick jacket on his body. The wind was biting just now, but now it was replaced by warmth. He raised his head and looked at Zheng Ling in disbelief, with his mouth open, unable to say a word. out.After a long time, he hurriedly took off his jacket again, stuffed it to Zheng Ling, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but this is absolutely unavoidable, such a good jacket will get dirty if I wear it on my body."

Zheng Ling put the jacket on the little beggar again, and said in a gentle voice, "This is a thank you gift for leading the way."

The shop waiter also stepped forward to persuade the little beggar: "Just accept it."

The little beggar touched the jacket on his body, and said again: "This..."

Lu Ming said in a timely manner: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the road will be very difficult if we delay for a while."

The shop clerk brought two umbrellas, Zheng Ling asked for another one, the shop clerk looked back at the shopkeeper, who nodded.

In the heavy snow, on the street, there were very few pedestrians. The three of them each held an umbrella. The little beggar was wearing a thick long jacket, put on newly bought shoes, and held a warm pancake in his arms. He lowered his head and always felt a little uncomfortable. Sorry, it's so awkward that everyone on the street is looking at him.

In the inn, the shopkeeper was fiddling with the abacus and said without raising his head, "It's just your kindness."

The waiter smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper held the quilt in his hands to warm his hands, and said, "Go back to work."

The waiter ran away with a smile, and murmured softly: "In this city of Ping, who doesn't know that the shopkeeper of our Tianya Inn has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart."

The shopkeeper glanced at him: "It's not big or small" and then laughed in a low voice.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of a family, and a carriage with unloaded horses was parked under the big tree in front of the door. A middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat was leading the horse and holding a whip in his hand.

A person came out of the room and asked, "Who is it?"

The middle-aged man said loudly, "Big Brother, it's me!"

When the people in the house heard the sound, they quickly pulled out the latch and opened the door, staring blankly at the person who came with mountains and rivers standing in the wind and snow.

The middle-aged man took off his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "It will be snowing late, can you have a drink?"
