Chapter 4: Staying in the Lingcheng at night

Mausoleum City.

Late at night, the wind and snow are rising.

Chen Chuyao, wearing men's clothing, drove in a carriage in the darkness facing the wind and snow. She had to find an inn as soon as possible. The climate has been too cold recently. In addition, they were traveling all day long, so their father got a cold due to it. Now it is getting worse. If he doesn't find a doctor to treat his father quickly, his condition may continue to worsen.

Driving a carriage, she finally entered the city and searched for a long time, but she saw that all the inns had closed. In such a cold weather, the pedestrians on the street had already gone home to sleep. There was nothing else on the entire street except the sound of the storm and snow.

She pulled the hat of the fox fur coat lower, trying hard to cover her little face that had been frozen and unconscious. Her hands and feet were all cold, and although she had boots and gloves, she still couldn't resist the terrifying cold.

"Chuyao, Chuyao! Your father's high fever still doesn't go away. Come and think of a solution!" Suddenly, Liu Yingqiu pushed open the door of the carriage and shouted at Chen Chuyao with anxiety on his face.

Chen Chuyao hurriedly turned around, but saw her father lying on the carriage. Even though she was covered with a quilt, she was still shaking frozen. Her heart shrank and she hurriedly looked around for a long time.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll go find an inn right now."

She stopped the carriage in a hurry and hurriedly searched the inns on the street where candlelights were still on, but after searching for a long time, she didn't see the door of an inn still open. She was so anxious that she was in chaos and ignored everything else. She ran to the inn that seemed to be the largest inn nearby and slapped the wooden door of the inn with force.

"Open the door, open it quickly!"

She patted her very hard, almost hurting her hands. "Hurry up and open the door! Shop, open the door!"

"Here, here! It's midnight, it's so soul!" A man's impatient voice came from the door.

A glimmer of hope arose in Chen Chuyao's heart, and she was anxiously waiting for the store owner to open the store door.

The waiter only wore a cotton jacket. Because he was afraid of the cold, he just dodged a small gap in the door panel and looked Chen Chuyao from top to bottom through the small gap. "What are you doing? I was patting around in the middle of the night, and I still let people sleep?" The waiter saw that there was an extremely handsome young man standing in front of the door, so he felt relieved to dodge the store door again.

"Shopkeeper, I came from the capital. I passed by here and wanted to stay. It's too late now, and my father has a cold again. Please help us stay overnight! Your money is absolutely indispensable." She deliberately lowered her voice because she was afraid that others would know that she was a woman. Now the world is in chaos. She is a girl with a pair of twilight old people. If she is targeted by a bad person, she will really be called "Daily Day" and "Daily Day shouldn't be effective."

"No, our store is already full, you go to another house!" The waiter said and wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Chen Chuyao.

"Shopkeeper, okay! My father is so old, he is really sick now, so he needs to find a doctor as soon as possible. Just help us and let us stay overnight! Can't we leave tomorrow morning?" She was so anxious that she was almost crying. It's almost midnight now, and all the inns are closed. Where is she going to find an inn! She said that my father is so sick now, so she should find a doctor as soon as possible!

"No, no, we are really full of houses. Go to another house, go to another house!" The waiter shouted at Chen Chuyao impatiently.

Chen Chuyao forced the store door and refused to let go no matter what. "Shopkeeper, I beg you. Isn't it okay to make it as much as you want? Just let us stay overnight!"

The waiter was about to refuse, but a feminine female voice suddenly came from inside the room. "Xiao Hei, what's going on outside?"

"There is a foreigner who wants to stay in the room. I said that he is full of people and asked him to go to another house, but he will not go." The waiter who called Xiao Hei quickly turned around and shouted respectfully into the house.

"Let him come in!" The female voice rang again.

The waiter took his life and then he flashed to let Chen Chuyao come in. "Come in now! You are lucky to meet someone like my shop owner."

Chen Chuyao hurriedly thanked the waiter with a smile. "Thank you, thank you, kindness will be rewarded!"

As she said that, she quickly ran to the carriage, and helped the seriously ill Chen Muzhi out with Liu Yingqiu, and walked into the inn together.

As soon as I entered the inn, all the cold disappeared in an instant. This inn looked very luxurious. The entire inn was divided into three floors, in a round shape. Each floor had a corridor. Some tables were also set up in those corridors, which looked like they were for people to drink tea and eat. A stage was also added in the lobby on the first floor. The stage was large and the construction was also gorgeous. The store was surrounded by red lacquered stone pillars, with phoenix-shaped patterns engraved on it. The tables and chairs in the store were also very exquisite, and the taste of this store was quite good.

"Let's go! I'll take you to the room." Xiao Hei said, lifting a lantern and walking upstairs with Chen Chuyao and the others.

Chen Chuyao and Liu Yingqiu quickly helped Chen Muzhi to follow Xiao Hei's footsteps and came to the second floor.

Xiao Hei pushed open a room and lit the candles inside, then said to Chen Chuyao. "We have only this empty room in the entire inn. You can just stay overnight! I'm going to make some hot water for you now and get some food for you. I'm afraid you won't have any hot tea or hot rice all the way." Xiao Hei was also very enthusiastic. Seeing that Chen Muzhi's illness became like that, he thought they were very pitiful.

"Thank you, my second brother, I really don't know how to thank you." Chen Chuyao was full of gratitude. Along the way, they really didn't have time to eat, just wanted to hurry up, otherwise they would have to sleep in the wilderness again.

Xiao Hei waved his hand and smiled. "You stayed in our store, and we are our customers. Our store always treats customers like a master." Xiao Hei said, seeing Chen Muzhi lying on the bed, he was pale and sick, so he hurriedly said to Chen Chuyao. "Young Master, I think your father is very sick. In this way, there is a doctor in our store. Do you want him to show your father?"

Chen Chuyao was very surprised when she heard this and hurriedly agreed. "I am really grateful to you." She was worried about where to find someone to treat her father in the middle of the night. Now that there is a ready-made doctor, it is really a big deal!

"Come on, please wait for me to come and ask me to go." Xiao Hei said, and hurried out of the room.

As soon as the waiter left, Chen Chuyao hurried to the bedside to check his father's condition.

"Dad, how are you doing now?" Seeing that her father became sick like this, her heart was really uncomfortable.

Chen Muzhi blinked his weak eyelids slightly, and looked at Chen Chuyao with a smile. "Dad... Dad is okay... Don't worry..." He was too weak and could not even explain clearly.

When Liu Yingqiu, who was standing beside him, felt a sob in his heart and tears almost fell. "Master, stop talking, the doctor will be fine soon after." She and the master have been living a life of luxury. When have they ever suffered such hardship? Seeing the master like this, how could she not feel uncomfortable?

While talking, Xiao Hei had already brought the doctor to the door.

As soon as the doctor arrived, he hurriedly helped Chen Muzhi to take the pulse and see the doctor. It was only in the early morning that the doctor basically stabilized Chen Muzhi's condition.

A large group of people worked hard all night, decocted medicine and took care of Chen Muzhi. It was not until early morning that Chen Chuyao was tired and fell asleep on the table.

After finally Chen Muzhi's heat has subsided, Liu Yingqiu's heart has been relieved, and he is sleepy while guarding. They have never slept well these days, and they are rushing around the wilderness every day. When they are tired, they sleep in the wilderness for a night. Now they have finally been able to sleep in the room, which is already a great happiness for them.

After being busy for so long, it was done. As soon as Xiao Hei left Chen Chuyao and his friends' room, he went to sleep, but went directly to a room on the third floor.

‘Knock and knock’ he first knocked on the door.

"Come in." It was the feminine female voice again.

After hearing this, Xiao Hei pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a graceful woman in her thirties with a black gauze scarf sitting upright in the house. Although the half of the black gauze covered her lower face, from her soft eyes, the woman should have looked very beautiful.

"Where did it come from?" the female voice asked slowly.

"It was said that it was from the capital." The waiter answered hurriedly.

The woman thought for a while and then asked again. "How many people?"

The waiter said, "A family of three. A young master is very handsome. He looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old. And his parents, and her parents should be around fifty. I also observed them carefully. They are all very gentle. From the appearance and delicate hands, they should be from noble families, not like ordinary families." The three of them looked like rich families. They looked at their hands with fine palms, without even a calluse, and their nails were neatly trimmed. If they were not from rich families, how could they have been maintained so well?

"Is it a young master?" The woman had a hint of disappointment on her face. She had heard that it was from the capital, but she thought it would be...

The waiter thought for a while, then said with some uncertainty. "I think the young master is too fair and too beautiful. He looks like a woman, not like a man at all." No matter how he looks, he thinks that a man cannot be so beautiful. He is really a bit beautiful and too eye-catching.
