If you don't take the official post, there are only guest houses run by the people.

Everyone thought that it was difficult to open a guest house in the village, and even if there was one, there would be very few.

But stepping into the Tongfu Guest House, the noisy voice immediately spread to everyone's ears.

In this inn, two backpackers, one old and one young, were eating, and there were three middle-aged men gambling around the table, plus the waiter and other people in the inn, the inn did not seem deserted.

When everyone stepped into the guest house first or later, the guest house was even a bit more crowded.

The two grooms who had accompanied Zhang Debiao had already occupied their seats, booked a room, and urged Xiao Er to serve the food.

When Zhang Xuezhou and others rushed to the inn, the waiter had already started serving food.

There is no a la carte service in the guest house, basically you can eat whatever you have.

Taro, sunflower and wolf meat hunted by Orion are the main course, and there is also millet rice.

This kind of food is not bad compared to the county guard's mansion, although the taste is a bit inferior, but when everyone was hungry, they didn't care so much, and they ate big mouthfuls.

Zhang Xuezhou gnawed on the taro.

For a person who has drifted with the crowd for several years, the taste of food is no longer a problem in Zhang Xuezhou's eyes.

Even in reality, Zhang Xuezhou is not picky about the taste.

When Zhang Xuezhou finished his body's nutritional needs with a blank face, Zhang Xuezhou's heart suddenly moved.

He looked at the muddy taro and chewed it carefully.

"I didn't expect to eat a taro girl, and my mouth became numb!"

Before Zhang Xuezhou could fully distinguish it, he only heard a groom muttering, which made him dumbfounded.

If the taste is not wrong, then he also ate a taro mother.

It's just that compared to the groom's numb mouth, his symptoms are much milder, and he just feels a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because the taro mother in his bowl was smaller, or the poison-repelling formula he had started had some effects, which made Zhang Xuezhou's symptoms not as obvious as others.

After swallowing bigu powder and relying on bigu technique for seven days, he didn't seem to eat too fast.

When everyone finished eating and drinking and went upstairs to the bedroom, he was still eating slowly.

"No one can stay up late!"

As a person full of energy, even though it was dark, Zhang Xuezhou had difficulty falling asleep.

He and Dong Zhongshu were in the same room, talking about Dong Zhongshu again.

"You've been asleep for seven days, so don't bother me." Dong Zhongshu said helplessly, "I'm really sleepy now!"

"You don't need to work, what's the difference between sitting in the carriage and falling asleep?" Zhang Xuezhou said: "Get up and chant, I like to hear you chant!"

"Please let me go!"

Dong Zhongshu grumbled, covering his ears with his coat.

He doesn't want to think about those Confucian scriptures now, he just wants to sleep well for a while.

"Heaven and earth have awe-inspiring righteousness..."

Zhang Xuezhou's noisy voice came, and Dong Zhongshu felt that he shouldn't have taught this guy the content of recitation.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou doesn't know these things, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to talk about them.

"It was agreed that I would only fall asleep at the hour of Haishi, and now I lie down before even the hour of Xushi!"

When the sound of small complaints came, Dong Zhongshu's drowsy mind woke up as if cold water had been poured on it.

Dong Zhongshu does have the habit of falling asleep at Haishi, no matter whether he is tired or comfortable, this is almost his unshakable routine.

It is difficult for him to act against his schedule.

Zhang Xuezhou's nagging made Dong Zhongshu pinch his fingers with both hands. Amidst the murmured chanting, Dong Zhongshu let out a sigh of relief, and then let out a sigh of relief.

"Why are you still smoking?"

Zhang Xuezhou's surprised voice came, and Dong Zhongshu waved his hand to signal Zhang Xuezhou to be quiet.

"They added something to the food." Dong Zhongshu said in a low voice, "We're afraid we've entered a den of thieves!"

"It's a den of thieves, I think the people here are very enthusiastic," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Enthusiasm and being a thief are two different things." Dong Zhongshu said: "Adding something to the meal must be evil!"

"What's added to this?"

"There is a record in Liezi that 'Bian Que then drank the poisonous wine of two people, and died of fascination for three days. He had his chest cut open and his heart was opened, and it was easy to put it away'. We are afraid that we have eaten something similar to this kind of poisoned wine," Dong Zhongshu replied.

"Then the cost for them to poison us is too high!"

Zhang Xuezhou was surprised.

He has seen many crooked things with Wu Chao, but there is no poisonous wine that can make people stunned for three days.

Thinking of the high price of those low-level things in Wuchao, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the guest house had spent a lot of money to deal with them.

If the other party's luck is a little bit worse, it will be so bad that there are no pants left.

"Did they know that we brought a lot of property before we entered the village?" Zhang Xuezhou wondered.

As a family of salt merchants, Zhao Liang's team naturally had no shortage of money, and there were fifty if not a hundred guan in the carriage.

If these money were used to buy pork, it would be enough for the convoy to eat more than [-] catties of meat. Even if they ate ten catties a day, they would have to eat for nearly two years.

For ordinary people, this is undoubtedly a huge fortune.

If he wanted to know that the team carried so much wealth, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was normal for him to be black-handed.

But it was the first time for them to come to this village, and it was also the first time for the people in the village to meet them, so it was a bit awkward to deal with them directly and heavily.

"Don't make a sound, let's see who is responsible for it later," Dong Zhongshu said.

There were three thousand questions in Zhang Xuezhou's mind, and Dong Zhongshu didn't get much better.

But he was still in the territory of Bashu at this time, and Dong Zhongshu heard some rumors about Bashu mentioned by Wen Weng.

This reminded him of something, and his complexion suddenly darkened.

He waved the magic weapon fan, and the small oil lamp in the room went out immediately.

After calling Zhang Xuezhou to lie down, Dong Zhongshu continued to bloom his own perception when he closed his eyes, and listened to all the sounds that could be heard to make judgments.

"Wonderful, wonderful, I just wanted to attack the grandpa and grandson, but I didn't expect a large group of wanderers to come today!"

He exhausted his body's senses and still didn't hear a strange sound, but Zhang Xuezhou imitated it.

"Is it all down?"

"Having been poisoned by opium, if you want them to fall in time, it is impossible to delay until the time of day!"

"Hurry up and report to the king, and say that this trip is a good one!"

"When the king finishes picking those chewy Lianjiazi, it will be our turn!"

"What I mean is, this time I want to split the thighs and make bacon for the winter!"

"I feel that my arm is chewy, and it won't go bad if buried in the cellar!"

"We have to distribute some to other people more or less, after all, it is too difficult to attract people to our village!"

"Greeting people first!"

……

The voice in Zhang Xuezhou's mouth was obviously not made by one person, but several people were involved.

Dong Zhongshu made a judgment for a while, then shook his head, and when the magic power of his fingers showed, his ears suddenly became more than twice as big.

The slightest voice also entered his ears.

"It's those three gambling guys!"

Dong Zhongshu didn't hear clearly what the three of them were talking about, but he recognized the speaker.

"You can hear so clearly without using magic?"

Dong Zhongshu raised his protruding ears after casting the spell, only to feel that Zhang Xuezhou's perception was too keen.

If you use spells to hear the conversation downstairs, this kind of ability is not surprising, but you can hear it clearly with your own perception. Dong Zhongshu has to say that Zhang Xuezhou is very talented and has the potential to steal the door and listen to the wind.

He was afraid of scaring the snake before, so he didn't use magic to investigate.

When Zhang Xuezhou opened his mouth and judged that the person downstairs was just a young man, Dong Zhongshu cast a spell to confirm.

"Congenital water body, keen perception... Wait, this guy also eats with us, and it seems that he is not affected by the poison of the scorpion at all. Isn't this a natural ability to ward off poison?"

When Dong Zhongshu shook his protruding ears to confirm the participants, he only felt that Zhang Xuezhou's aptitude was too good.

This is a person who has won a lot of practice skills without doing practice, which can be called envy and envy.

He puffed his ears, until the sound of trampling downstairs, Dong Zhongshu's eyes took on a trace of solemnity.

The rooms that were staying were pushed away softly, and then several people poured in.

"Two fell down in this room, four of you hurry up and lift them up!"

When the voice of order came, not only Zhang Xuezhou narrowed his eyes slightly to see the person clearly, Dong Zhongshu also saw the villagers who had warmly greeted them before come to carry them.
