Chapter 20 A lonely woman on a snowy night (please collect and read)
Zhao Ya found Tan Dong and asked him to go to his home after his shift was over. He told Tang Zui'er that he was going to be a escort for a few days, and told her not to worry and to go out as little as possible after he left.
Tan Dong naturally agreed.
After finishing these chores, Zhao Ya followed the escort car on the road.
When you get out of the city, you can see the fields are deserted, the vegetation is withered, and it's a depressing scene.
But there were far fewer bodies along the road.
After walking for a whole day, in the evening Zhao Ya and others finally arrived at the first camping spot more than a hundred miles away from Wuxiang City.
This is an inn, not large in scale, and the conditions are far from good.
But it is extremely difficult to find a safe place to sleep when you are away from home, and people would not ask for anything else.
Luo Qiang is quite familiar with the owner of this inn. After all, this is a common escort route. He has to know which inns and restaurants along the way are good and which ones are safe.
And once you become familiar with it, you won’t change it easily.
This inn is one of them.
"Guard Leader Luo, who is so young, has come out to escort himself." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Oh, there is no other way. Otherwise, who would want to come all the way out to drink the cool breeze? You, the shopkeeper, are better at this job. You can't be blown by the wind or wet by the rain."
"Boss Luo, please stop laughing at me. My small business is just for a living. How can I compare to you?"
After a few words of greeting, a waiter brought a hot meal.
To be honest, the taste of this food is very average, and it can't even match Tang Zui'er's cooking skills.
But Zhao Ya still ate very deliciously.
After all, in this cold month of winter, it’s good to have a hot meal.
After dinner, the waiter had already arranged the room. Luo Qiang arranged the person who would be on duty at night, and the others quickly went back to their room to rest.
Zhao Ya received the guard duty in the second half of the night, and with him was Zhou Hua.
Speaking of which, it should be mentioned that a month and a half ago, Zhou Hua finally completed his bone refining and became a sniper.
However, compared to Wei Yu, Zhao Ya and others, his breakthrough seemed mediocre, so it did not attract many people's attention.
And Zhou Hua also became more and more taciturn, even not saying a word to others all day long.
This kind of personality also makes him more and more marginalized.
Even this simple task of guarding Yin, no one wanted to join him.
In the end, Zhao Ya took the initiative to ask for help, which relieved the embarrassment at the time.
Zhao Ya slept until midnight and got up without anyone reminding him.
When they arrived at the room where the escort money was stored, Zhou Hua was already here.
"Brother Zhao, thank you for your hard work!" Luo Feng said with a smile.
Zhao Ya waved his hand, "Go to bed quickly."
Luo Feng and the other tripper then left.
It was very cold in the room. Although Zhao Ya was not afraid of the cold or heat, he still covered all the doors and windows and found a chair to sit down.
Zhou Hua directly found a corner and sat on the floor.
Both of them were silent
Zhou Hua didn't speak, so Zhao Ya naturally didn't bother to talk to him, and instead thought about his recent experience in martial arts.
As time passed, the room became colder and colder.
There was a loud wind outside the window. Zhao Ya walked to the door and took a look, only to find that it was actually snowing outside.
The heavy snow soon turned the ground white.
With such strong wind and heavy snow, Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart.
If it snows all night, they won't be able to travel tomorrow.
At this moment Luo Qiang also came.
His face didn't look good either.
The sudden heavy snow completely disrupted his plans.
It would be troublesome if we missed the escort date.
"Is there anything going on?" Luo Qiang asked.
Zhao Ya shook his head, "Everything is normal."
Luo Qiang took a look around and after confirming that the seal on the escort box was intact, he also stood in front of the window.
"Oh, I hope it won't snow again, otherwise we won't be able to leave tomorrow."
"Yeah, I hope it won't happen again." Zhao Ya agreed, and then there was a long silence.
"Uncle Luo, go and rest quickly. If it's going to snow, there's nothing anyone can do about it. There's no point in worrying."
"Well! Then I'm leaving."
Luo Qiang was about to leave.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door in the front yard of the inn.
Zhao Ya was stunned.
Who will knock on the door on a snowy night?
Luo Qiang's expression changed even more.
"You stay here and guard the escort. I'll go to the front to see what's going on."
"Okay, Uncle Luo, be careful."
Luo Qiang walked quickly to the front yard.
At this time, the innkeeper was also awakened, and he and Luo Qiang came to the door.
"Who is knocking on the door so late?"
A delicate female voice came from outside the door.
"Shopkeeper, I am a traveler. I lost my way and missed my place, so I bothered you late at night. Please open the door and let me in."
woman?
She is still a woman traveling alone.
The shopkeeper and Luo Qiang were both a little surprised.
But for safety reasons, the shopkeeper moved a stool and looked out through the small window above the door.
really.
A woman stood in the snow outside the door.
The woman was wearing a silver-white cloak, and there was a horse beside her.
After confirming that there was no one else around, the shopkeeper carefully opened the door.
The woman walked in the door and lifted the cloak over her head.
At this moment, even the well-informed Luo Qiang couldn't help but be stunned.
Because this woman is so beautiful.
Especially those pair of water-cut eyes are unforgettable.
The shopkeeper was also a little stunned, but he quickly reacted.
"Female guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
"Yeah! Do you have anything to eat? Prepare some for me first."
"Also, my horse needs to be cleaned, watered, and walked. You won't be short of money."
"Yes, yes, I will prepare it right away." The shopkeeper agreed.
The woman found a table and sat down, then placed the long bundle in her hand on the table.
Luo Qiang's heart trembled, and then he glanced at the woman's hand subconsciously.
The fingers are long and slender, as white as jade, with no calluses visible.
But Luo Qiang did not dare to take it lightly, but became more and more vigilant.
How dare any ordinary woman to walk alone in this snowy night?
But Luo Qiang was calm and even though he had some doubts, he quietly withdrew.
After returning to the backyard, he said in a deep voice: "Cheer up and don't slack off at all. We will be on our way early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Ya nodded, "Understood."
In fact, he also heard the voices in front of him and knew that there was a single woman staying late at night.
It's no wonder Luo Qiang is so nervous, this does reveal something fishy.
Especially when I think of what Luo Qiang said before, never mess with a woman walking alone when walking in the world.
The more beautiful you are, the more so.
Because since this kind of woman dares to walk alone, she must have extremely high abilities.
Zhao Ya also felt heavy in his heart.
After this incident, it was naturally impossible for Luo Qiang to sleep again.
He, Zhao Ya, Zhou Hua and others stayed in the house all night.
But in the morning, the snow not only did not stop, but became heavier and heavier.
