Chapter 8 Take this knife for the rest

"Ten taels?"

She couldn't believe that even if she stayed in such an inn for three months, she would probably not be able to get so many!

The shopkeeper rolled his eyelids and sneered: "Little girl, I see that you look like you are from a good family. Do you know what Nanling is now in chaos, there are bandits and robbers everywhere. If you can't stay, you can do it. Something happened tonight, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Liu Luoying bit her lip. Of course she knew that the shopkeeper was right. She took out all the broken silver on her body. After a rough calculation, it was only five taels or two cents.

She was a little helpless, but saw a hand with distinct joints reaching over and pushing a dagger on the table.

Luo Ting said: "The rest should be given this knife."

The shopkeeper was aware of the goods. He looked at Guang with the dagger for a long time, and his eyes were about to shine.

Liu Luoying was anxious, pulled La Luoting's sleeve and whispered: "Second cousin, that knife is your thing, so don't use this mortgage..."

Although she didn't know the origin of the dagger, it was probably very important for him to be carried with him.

Luo Ting looked down at her and was about to speak, but the shopkeeper seemed to be afraid that he would repent, so he immediately threw the door sign: "Turn left on the third floor, the second room is, hurry up and go there."

Liu Luoying wanted to say something, Luo Ting had already taken over the real estate sign: "Let's go."

The furnishings in the room were simple and worn. Soon, the waiter sent some food, which were all clean porridge and side dishes, and the appearance was really bad.

Liu Luoying had no appetite at first, but when she thought she would go to find her sister and the others, she forced herself to eat some. All day long, her emotions were tense. She relaxed at this moment, and she felt tired and sleepy, which made her almost unable to resist.

Luo Ting stood up, closed the window, stood in front of the window without looking back, and said to her, "You rest first."

Liu Luoying frowned. After all, the second cousin took his dagger to open the room. Moreover, he took her to avoid the rioters and set up a fire again. I am afraid he will be much tired than her.

She looked around the bed, which was not small.

After hesitating for a while, she made up her mind and stepped forward and pulled La Luoting's sleeve: "Second cousin, there is only one bed here, so why not sleep together."

Luo Ting was a little stunned, then pulled his sleeve back, his tone was indifferent: "No, I'll just rest here."

Liu Luoying followed his gaze and saw two chairs in the room. I don’t know how long it had been used, and she stood there shakingly. She even had some doubts that maybe she would collapse if she sat on it.

Moreover, even if the stool is intact and sitting there for a night, it will be in the middle of winter, I am afraid it will not feel good.

She lived a lot of life and saw it a lot. She was not as tempted as an ordinary woman in this way. She simply took the pillow on the couch and placed it in the middle of the bed. Then she turned around and said, "Use this to block the middle, the well water will not interfere with the river. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

She just thought Luo Ting was still considering the last time he implicated him in the punishment of kneeling. Seeing that he was silent, she raised her hand and sweared: "I swear I won't tell you what happened tonight, otherwise Tian--"

Before he finished speaking, the boy grabbed his little hand and pressed it down, and soon let it go.

Luo Ting lowered his eyes, couldn't see clearly, and he just spoke lightly: "No."

The two of them slept with their clothes, and there was a pillow in the middle of the bed, which really made them look like the Chu River and Han Realm.

Liu Luoying ran for a day, and was still thinking about her lost sister before going to bed. She tossed and turned for a while before she fell asleep. Perhaps she was shocked, but in the second half of the night, she started to feel hot again.

Lin Peiyan's cold and ruthless face, the mocking and disdainful expression of the servants in the palace, and the scene of his sister hanging herself at the end, alternated back and forth in her dream.

She closed her eyes tightly, as if she was in a nightmare that she couldn't wake up.

Luo Ting had always slept lightly. Liu Luoying woke up when she kept turning over on the couch. She opened her eyes quietly in the darkness. She had long since been pushed to the pillow in the middle of the couch.

He sat up from the couch with his body, reached out to test the temperature of the girl's forehead, which was so hot that it was scary.

He frowned and called Luo Ying's name twice. Unexpectedly, he received no response. He could only hear her uncomfortable moan.

The water from the waiter was still there yesterday. Luo Ting wet the veil and put it on Liu Luoying's head. He then put the coat on her and closed the door tightly from the room before jumping down from the window. He didn't even make any sound when he landed on the ground.

When Liu Luoying woke up, her consciousness was drowsy and her eyes were bright. It took a while before she could see it carefully.

For a moment, she even thought that when she returned to the cold palace, no one cared about it or cared about it until she died of illness in the deep wall courtyard of the palace.

But soon, she realized that she was still in the inn, with a veil soaked in cold water on her head. It must have been replaced not long ago, but it was still wet.

She took off the veil and wanted to get up to see the situation, but her whole body was weak and weak. She almost fell to the ground after getting off the bed.

Just then, the door of the room was pushed open, and Luo Ting came in with a bowl of boiled soup. Seeing her awake, he was not too surprised. He just put the medicine in front of her and signaled her to drink it.

Liu Luoying picked up the bowl and took a sip, and her facial features were so bitter that they wrinkled together.

Although I used to drink medicine at the Liu family, Baoxia and Yingchun would always prepare candied snacks in advance. After taking the medicine, it would never seem too bitter. But she also knew that in this situation, where can I get candied fruit for myself.

She made up her mind, raised her head, and drank all the bowl of soup and medicine. Soon after, she felt much better, and there was a lot of warmth in her body.

"How did you get the medicine? The medicinal materials should not be cheap now, right?"

I had to pay ten taels of silver for one night, not to mention the in-frequent medicinal materials. I spent all the money on my body when I stayed in the hotel last night, and I also took the dagger of my second cousin, but I got sick without any effort...

Luo Ting obviously had no intention of answering, so he got up and collected the bowl.

Liu Luoying glanced sharply at the eyes of her eyes. The jade pendant on his waist disappeared, and a feeling of guilt suddenly surged in her heart. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she finally swallowed it back.

After all, Luo Ting has already taken things out. If he says these things himself, it would be a bit too thin and it would make people feel that he is cheap and acts good-looking.

Luo Ting didn't say much. He borrowed the medicine from the inn kitchen and wanted to return the bowl.

After he left, Liu Luoying recalled the style of the jade pendant in her mind, simply drew the shape on the paper, and planned to redeem it after she settled in the future.

As soon as she finished drawing, the door of the room was knocked. She asked cautiously: "Who?"

"Miss!"

A cry came from outside the door. Liu Luoying was shocked and hurried over to open the door. It was Yingchun, and her eyes were red when she cried. As soon as she entered the door, she hugged her, "Miss, it's good that you're fine, otherwise, even if I die, I can't make up for it!"

She patted the little girl's back and comforted her. After Yingchun calmed down, she asked, "What happened that day, where are the sister and her father?"

Yingchun wiped his tears and replied in a scattered manner: "Miss, don't worry, both the master and Mrs. Hou are fine. That day, the convoy was dispersed by refugees. In order not to let them hurt, the master proposed to exchange two trucks of grain for exchange, but even so, he lost a lot of things and then entered the city."

"But I couldn't find a place to live. I had no choice but to order, and I rushed out of Nanling City for another night, and then I settled down when I got outside the city. The master also ordered people to stay all the way to find you, Miss. I was really worried and came together. After finally finding out your whereabouts, Miss, and I immediately came."
