Chapter 136 On the Road

He Chaoci raised his eyes to look at the sky, and his eyebrows knitted together involuntarily.

Now they are both injured. If they travel overnight, they will not have time to dodge if they encounter any danger.

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Chi Ying and said: "It seems that we have to rest at the foot of the mountain for a while, and then start our journey again tomorrow morning."

In July, the sun is shining brightly during the day, and once it arrives At night, the cold wind blows a little bit, and it seems to be blowing to the bones.

Chi Ying shivered involuntarily, hugged his arms with both hands, and rubbed them vigorously.

He Chaoci only glanced at it, then took off his robe and put it on Chi Ying's body.

Chi Ying was about to refuse, but then she heard a low and magnetic voice ringing in her ears.

"Put them on, don't catch a cold."

Chi Ying lowered her head silently and did not insist on returning the clothes.

She stretched out her hand to rub her nose, pulled her clothes closer in, and looked forward. The surroundings were slowly getting dark.

For some unknown reason, there was a faint white mist above the sky, completely blocking their sight.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chi Ying said softly: "It seems that's all."

Then, the two of them walked directly forward. Not far ahead, there was a simple inn.

This is their only choice now.

The two of them quickly stepped forward. As soon as they entered the store, the store owner came forward to greet them enthusiastically, "Are you two working as a top or staying at the hotel?"

The store owner smiled and looked harmless.

Chi Ying looked around calmly and found that the entire inn looked deserted, with only a few scattered people sitting in the corner.

And when they came in, they would look up at them from time to time.

Everyone's eyes are full of curiosity.

She narrowed her eyes slightly. For some reason, she felt that something was not quite right from the first impression she entered the store.

She shook her head and suppressed the thoughts in her heart. She thought that too many things happened today and it was a bit too radical.

The store owner is a very beautiful middle-aged woman.

Although there is no color on her face, it can be seen that she looks beautiful just like this.

Chi Ying couldn't help but ask, "Do you open this shop by yourself?"

The two of them walked a few steps forward, and then found a seat at random to sit down.

The store owner just smiled, wiped his hands on his clothes, and said with a crooked look, "To be honest with you two, this is what the boss and I are looking at together, just to make ends meet. The boss has gone to the city today. If you can't come back in time, I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back."

She paused and continued to ask patiently, "Are you two going to Jianjian or staying in a hotel? If you are Jianjian, you can have something warm to eat at night. You can hold on more."

Suddenly, her voice couldn't help but become softer. She first looked sideways outside, then turned around silently and looked at He Chaoci and the two of them.

"But with the current situation outside, it's better for you not to go out."

He Chaoci was moved, "Why is this?"

The woman pointed to the outside of the house and her voice was lowered, "You see the sky rising outside. Is there a white mist? This is not natural."

Chi Ying asked, "Is there another reason for this?"

She and He Chaoci looked at each other in unison, especially He Chaoci. Suddenly I became interested.

The middle-aged woman wiped the table and poured two cups of new tea for the two of them. "I tell you, you must not go out and talk nonsense. This white mist is specially released by someone. At this time, the sky This kind of white mist will rise everywhere, and most of this white mist will block people's sight."

Chi Ying immediately asked, "What are they doing with this white mist?"

However, the middle-aged woman did not want to say anything more. He immediately stood up straight and took a step back.

With a reserved expression on his face, he waved his hands to the two of them, "This is not something I can say more about. Anyway, if you two can stay for a few more days, everything will be understood."

Chi Ying He tilted his head, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. However, when his stomach growled, there were no thoughts at all.

He Chaoci said directly, "Please give us some food first, and we will open two rooms later."

The woman smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, you two, there is only one room in this room. I don't know. Can you two make do with it?"

Chi Ying suddenly spit out the sip of tea she had just taken, and she stretched out her hand to wipe her mouth.

If she hadn't been staying with He Chaoci all the time and knew that the other party had never left her sight, otherwise according to the usual routine, she would have even doubted whether this was arranged by He Chaoci in advance.

Chi Ying's eyes flickered a few times, she narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly looked at He Chaoci.

I was so anxious just now that I forgot the most important thing.

She quickly raised her head and said to the store: "We don't want any of the things, thank you."

Then she gave He Chaoci a look and walked out.

Seeing this, He Chaoci also raised his feet and followed him.

The innkeeper scratched his head, looked at the two people leaving, and murmured in a low voice, "These two are really interesting."

After leaving the inn, Chi Ying took He Chaoci to a corner in an instant.

He Chaoci looked obviously confused, "Why did you come out suddenly?"

Chi Ying raised her eyes and glanced at him casually, then always paid attention to her surroundings, "You forgot, what can I do?"

He Chaoci looked at her silently, No words either.

Chi Ying groaned, "Although we are here and can't rush back to the county office in time, we can go back to the restaurant first."

She sighed faintly, "I was so anxious just now that I forgot about it."

He Chao Ci whispered: "That's fine."

Chi Ying nodded, and then silently stretched out his arm.

He Chaoci put his hand up without hesitation.

The next moment, when the two opened their eyes again, they were already in a familiar restaurant.

Chi Ying was very excited when she saw the scene in front of her. She said without looking back, "Sit down first."

Then she dived into the kitchen.

In addition to the food that customers can order in the restaurant, for convenience, Chi Ying also specially fried some simple meat and vegetable dishes and sold them directly by the portion.

Sometimes students or migrant workers come to her to place orders.

As a result, the volume also increased.

When she left today, there happened to be some left in the restaurant, so she casually cooked two more dishes.

Half an hour later, several delicious and delicious meals were served on the table.

Smelling the rich fragrance in the air, He Chaoci couldn't help but cast his eyes on the dishes on the table.
