Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 228: Arrival at Chunyang City

After a night of running around, before it was fully light, I finally saw the city wall in the distance.

There are two bright red lanterns and red ribbons hanging above, which seem somewhat unreal in the misty fog.

Uncle Liu took the lead and stopped a little away from the city gate.

The place was empty, without any shelter, and there were only a few large trees nearby, all covered in white.

"Let's stop here first. The city gate is not open yet." Uncle Liu said to Gu Qinghan, Li Junyong and Feng Juesheng who were driving the carriage in the back.

Realizing that the car had stopped, Xu Yuan opened his eyes, pushed open the side panel and looked out.

All I saw was white, so white that it was a little blinding, but I couldn't feel any wind blowing. It was unusually quiet.

After all, we didn't see many people along the way. We set out on the fifth day of the New Year and arrived in Chunyang City four days later.

I don’t know what’s going on at home.

When it was slightly light, the city gate was finally opened.

The people who were still sleeping in the car slowly woke up, and immediately replaced the people who had been traveling all night, and chased a few people back to the back to sleep.

"Lao Feng, let's say goodbye here. Be careful on the road." The group entered the city gate and stopped at a fork in the road. Village Chief Gu shouted to Feng Xing next to him.

"Be careful on the road, but it's a pity that I can't go back with you. If you need anything, come to Hongye Village to find us."

"Okay." Village Chief Gu nodded. People who came to visit relatives would have to stay for a longer time, so he brought the whole family along.

The group of people here just came to buy piglets and visit Chunyang City. They would stay for one more day at most.

Although it was already dawn, there were not many people on the street early in the morning. There were few stalls, only shops were open, and the temperature was a little colder than that in Lin'an County.

The snow on the streets was thick except where people and cars were walking.

"Chunyang City is divided into two urban areas, east and west, and is managed by the mayor of Chunyang City. My nephew's home is in Xihua Village in the west city. It takes an hour to get to Xihua Village from the urban area." Uncle Niu chatted with Uncle Wang in the car.

Uncle Wang heard that it would take another hour, and that those who had traveled all night were still sleeping and hadn't eaten yet, "Then how about this, let's find an inn to rest for a while, and then go to Xihua Village early tomorrow morning."

Uncle Niu also agreed: "That's fine. I'll follow your arrangements. I have no problem with that."

Uncle Wang didn't discuss with the people following the car behind him, and took the lead to look for an inn.

Guiyun Inn.

The inn was not luxurious at all and was quite deserted at this time.

Seeing Uncle Wang stopped in front of an inn, Village Chief Gu and Chen Dafu, who were on their way behind him, quickly caught up and stopped behind him.

Chen Dafu asked, "Aren't we going to see the piglets?"

"Let's fix it first. Besides, people are still sleeping in the car." Village Chief Gu guessed Uncle Wang's intention and explained it to Chen Dafu.

Village Chief Gu got off the car first, and then followed Uncle Wang into the inn.

"Sir, please come in. Do you want to have a meal or stay overnight?" The waiter in the inn rarely had guests so early in the morning, so he hurried out from the counter and warmly invited Village Chief Gu and Uncle Wang to come in.

Village Chief Gu: "Stay in the hotel, a large bunk bed and an ordinary double room."

"Okay, sir, here are the keys to the rooms, one on the first floor and the other on the second floor. Would you mind leading the way?"

Uncle Wang said, "No thanks. May I ask where is your stable?"

"Sir, please hold the rope and follow me."

Village Chief Gu and Grandpa Wang went outside, called Chen Dafu, pulled the ox cart into a shed, untied the ox and the cart, and while Xu Yuan, Chen Biyun and Grandpa Niu watched, Village Chief Gu and the other two tied the ox ropes and followed the waiter to park the ox cart in the stable.

The shed was not very big and was divided into sections by partitions. The people who were still sleeping in the car had woken up by now and took their valuables with them. The remaining pots, bowls, quilts and straw mats were left in the car. After they were put away, the waiter next to him handed a wooden sign to Uncle Liu and said, "Sir, this is a receipt. Please keep it safe." He then closed the partition, locked it with a set of chains and locked it directly.

"I don't know if it will be lost if I leave it here. I'm still a little worried." Walking to the door, Grandpa Liu looked at the car placed in the shed and felt a little worried.

Uncle Niu comforted him, "Old Liu, we have brought all our valuables with us. Who would be interested in these broken cars? It is unreasonable for a businessman to ruin his business. Don't think too much. Go inside for a while and wait for Old Wang and the others to come back."

Li Junyong yawned and stood aside, persuading: "Let's go, Uncle Liu. It's so cold outside. Let's go in first." After saying that, he walked into the inn first, found a seat and sat down, then lay down on the table. Gu Qinghan behind him also sat down silently next to Li Junyong.

While making a wish, he asked the waiter to bring up the steamed buns and porridge. Just at that moment, Uncle Wang and his friends came back.

"It's just right. My stomach is rumbling now. Let's finish eating quickly and I'll take you to the room to see." Uncle Wang touched his stomach, found an empty seat and sat down, asking everyone to eat quickly.

"Yuan girl, you and Biyun girl live on the second floor. This is your room number. You go up first." After breakfast, Village Chief Gu handed a wooden sign to Xu Yuan, and then led the rest of the people to the room with shared bunk beds on the first floor.

······

The room was not big, with two single beds placed on both sides, a cabinet at the head of each bed, and a table in the middle. There was also a partition inside. Xu Yuan pushed open the door and saw that it was the bathroom.

"Xuyuan, which bed do you want to sleep in?" Chen Biyun asked Xuyuan while sitting on a stool.

"It doesn't matter which bed I sleep in." Xu Yuan looked at the bathroom. There was only a wooden shelf and a screen, and nothing else. There was nothing good to see, so he walked out.

"Okay, then I'll sleep here." Chen Biyun chose the bed on the left, not close to the window. She put down the cloth bag on her back and began to make the bed.

Xu Yuan also came over, put down the things on his body, and then lay down on the bed.

“Dongdong…”

There was a knock on the door, and Chen Biyun opened it. Outside was a waiter, who came in with a pot of steaming hot tea and placed it on the table. "Young lady, please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Waiter, I want to take a bath. Can you bring me some hot water?" Xu Yuan sat up from the bed and said to the waiter.

Upon hearing this, Chen Biyun quickly said, "I want some too. Can you please bring some hot water, little brother?"

"No problem, ladies, please wait a moment." After the waiter said this, he turned and walked out.
