Chapter 119 Station
Chapter 119 Station
"Oh dear, what bad luck! There's only one superior room left."
Recently, life has become a little easier, and merchants from all over the country have flocked out.
Look, all the rooms are completely full.
The courier at the post station explained with a broad smile, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes becoming even more pronounced with his laughter.
Su Yue, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly when she heard this.
But she quickly relaxed: "Fine, one room is fine! It's better than nothing." She turned to look at the others. What could Dali and the others possibly think? As long as they were with Su Yue, they didn't care where they stayed.
Seeing that no one objected, the courier quickly smiled and led them upstairs.
Along the way, he enthusiastically introduced the various aspects of the inn: "Although our place is not as luxurious and comfortable as a large inn, it has everything you need. Please feel free to stay here."
Before long, the group arrived at the last room on the second floor. The courier stopped and gently pushed open the door.
He stepped aside to let everyone in: "This is the room. Please feel free to look around. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, please let me know."
Su Yue entered the room first and looked around. She found it to be fairly clean and tidy, and the bedding looked quite new.
He nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, that's good, let's leave it at that." The others followed him into the house.
At this moment, the courier kindly reminded them, "Gentlemen, please remember to close the doors and windows tightly when you go to sleep tonight, just in case."
"If you're hungry or want something to eat, you can go downstairs to the kitchen and find me. Someone will prepare it for you." After saying this, he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to everyone, then gently closed the door and left.
Once the courier's figure gradually disappeared from sight and was completely out of sight, Qiaoxia slowly closed the door.
Su Yue felt quite at ease living here.
You know, last time she successfully counter-robbed the bandits, almost wiping them out in one fell swoop.
Therefore, she believed that under normal circumstances, no one would dare to provoke her again.
The room was simply furnished with only a bed, a table, four stools, and a slightly worn wardrobe.
After carefully looking around, Su Yue couldn't help but think to herself, "For these conditions, it can actually be considered a superior room. I really don't know what to say!"
Qiaoxiang quickly began making the bed, first removing the original bedding.
Then they laid out a clean and tidy sheet and put on their own soft blankets.
After all, the weather was still bitterly cold, and it would be torture for them to sleep on the cold floor.
As night fell and it was time to prepare for bed, Su Yue took out a bed from her spatial storage.
And so, everyone could only squeeze in and make do to get through the night.
The night passed quietly without anything unusual happening.
However, the next morning, Su Yue slowly woke up amidst a sense of oppression.
She groggily opened her eyes and saw that Dali had rolled over to her side at some point and was now heavily on top of her.
He pushed the person aside and looked at the three maids on the other bed, who had already gotten up and were no longer in the room.
After waking up slowly, Su Yue stretched and got dressed, then quickly rolled out of bed.
Then, she walked to the dressing table, reached out and haphazardly grabbed at her long, waterfall-like hair, and prepared to go downstairs to take a look.
Just as she reached out to push open the door, she bumped right into Qiaoyun, who was carrying a basin of water towards her.
Qiaoyun paused, her face instantly breaking into a delighted smile: "Miss... no, you're finally awake! Come quickly, come and wash up first. Qiaoxia has already prepared breakfast, just waiting for you to get up so she can serve it right away."
As she spoke, Qiaoyun carefully placed the basin on the shelf beside her.
He then hurriedly reached into his small bag and pulled out a delicate peach wood comb, gently combing Su Yue's somewhat messy hair.
Qiaoyun originally wanted to call Su Yue "the Immortal Envoy" as was her habit, since she usually used that title very naturally.
But as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered what Su Yue had specifically told her: she must never address her like that in front of outsiders.
So Qiaoyun quickly changed her address to "Miss".
After washing and dressing up, Su Yue looked radiant and full of energy.
At this moment, Dali, still sleepy-eyed, slowly woke up.
She stood up unsteadily and rushed straight to Su Yue's side like a gust of wind.
Then it affectionately rubbed its round head against Su Yue's pink and fair cheeks.
This made Su Yue giggle uncontrollably. However, Dali didn't seem to have any intention of stopping there and continued to rub against her tirelessly.
Left with no other choice, Su Yue had to resort to her "ultimate move," stretching out her hands and mercilessly pinching Dali's chubby, adorable little face, which finally calmed the mischievous Dali down.
After everything was tidied up, Su Yue had a thought and stored the bed in her personal space.
Then, she smiled and took Dali's hand, and the two walked down the stairs together.
As soon as Qiaoxia saw Su Yue come downstairs, she brought the breakfast she had prepared to the table. After Su Yue finished eating, she hurried on her way again.
This trip was completely different from the last one.
Although the roadside still looked somewhat desolate, the faces of the occasional passersby no longer had that lifeless, gloomy look.
Even along the roadside where the snow has just melted, faint traces of green can be seen stubbornly growing.
Su Yue found the journey too rushed and boring, so she reached into her spatial storage and retrieved the small shop sign that Wang Defa had meticulously crafted, and hung it in a conspicuous place on the outside of the carriage.
From then on, Su Yue stopped forcing Dali to study hard and instead sat by the car window on her own.
As soon as she spotted pedestrians on the road ahead, she urged Qiaoxia, who was driving, to stop the car.
Then, Su Yue leaned out and shouted loudly to passersby, "Hey! Want to buy something? Or do you have anything to exchange?"
Unexpectedly, when the people walking on the road first saw the carriage that had suddenly stopped, they were so frightened that they ran away.
This scene left Su Yue completely bewildered. She wondered to herself, "Am I really that scary? Why are they all running away like they've seen a ghost as soon as they see me?"
