Su Yan was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything, "Thank you, Brother Qin."
The woman's wrist was particularly warm at night, and Qin An's ears were red and hot. He walked in front and kicked the trees and stones he stepped on.
The three or four hour journey was very difficult for Su Yan, and it was already past midnight when she arrived at the town.
Fortunately the inn is open.
There has been a flood recently and more people are staying here. The inn only has one upper-class room. The shopkeeper guesses that they have no place to stay, "One hundred and thirty cents a night."
Su Yan glanced at him, it was only the boss with a black heart who made money.
Qin An paid the money without hesitation, "Yes."
He took the key from the shopkeeper and gave it to Su Yan. Su Yan didn't take it and asked subconsciously: "Where are you sleeping?"
"Lobby, call me if you need anything."
Qin An put the key into her hand, turned around and prepared to sit there and wait for dawn.
In fact, if it weren't for Su Yan, he might just find a place to sit outside until dawn.
Su Yan hesitated and said, "Let's live together."
After speaking, he said to the shopkeeper: "Add a floor mat and quilt."
I already can’t rest well, and it will definitely be too much for me to have to walk for such a long time.
"Twenty cents." The shopkeeper glanced at the two of them gossiping and nodded.
Su Yan knew she had been knocked, but it was better than sitting in the lobby for a few hours. Looking at Qin An who was motionless, she whispered: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I won't blackmail you."
Qin An still shook his head, "No need, I'm just below, call me if you need anything."
Su Yan had no choice but to give up, take the key and go upstairs. Qin An sat in the lobby for a while and heard noises upstairs. It seemed like someone was making a noise.
There were also women shouting for help.
It didn't sound like Su Yan's voice.
But without thinking, he walked upstairs and saw several men pushing a young woman into the room.
The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted me and said bravely: "Dear guests, please don't make trouble."
The woman quickly shouted for help, crying: "Shopkeeper, help me."
The shopkeeper was also afraid of those men and hesitated for a while before going over. At this time, the door of a room opened.
The pretty woman in cloth said hello, "Sister, come here quickly. Brother, they were looking for you just now. Where did you go?"
It was Su Yan who spoke.
She saw Qin An only after she finished speaking, but she didn't call him for fear of causing trouble to him.
When the woman heard this, she quickly squeezed over. Su Yan let her into the room, then gave Qin An a look to signal him to be quiet, and then closed the door.
The men's eyes lit up when they saw Su Yan. When they were about to come over, they saw a tall man standing at the door, staring at them coldly.
Several people looked at him and thought they couldn't afford to offend him, so they turned around and went back to the house.
Qin An raised his hand and knocked on the door, and said in a low voice: "I'm guarding the door, don't worry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yan opened the door, looked at those people, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were no longer there.
Then he looked at Qin An and whispered: "Brother Qin, come in. There are screens inside, and I have laid them out for you."
Just now she wanted to come down and call him, but she heard someone forcing the woman. She hesitated for a long time before opening the door and calling.
Seeing that he didn't move, she stopped being polite to him, pulled him in by his sleeve, and then closed the door.
Seeing the tall rough man, the woman in the room was startled, trembling and shouted, "Ah..."
Su Yan quickly explained: "This is my eldest brother, don't be afraid, he won't mess around."
The woman stopped screaming and sat on the bedside and cried softly. Su Yan ignored her for the time being and asked Qin An to go to the screen, "I pulled out the quilt and took it out. It's not going to be cold this day, so you can
Just make do with it."
After Su Yan finished speaking, she went out from the edge of the screen. Seeing the woman crying, she comforted her and said, "It's okay. You can leave after dawn."
The woman kept crying, "I can't find my family, they are separated."
"When the water recedes, you can definitely find it if you go back."
As soon as she heard that her family members were all there, Su Yan had nothing to worry about. She lay on the bed, yawned again and said, "Sister, I'm going to sleep now. I have to be on my way tomorrow."
She hasn't had a good rest in the past two days. She finally got a bed and she must have a good sleep.
The woman stopped crying immediately. After a while, she took off her shoes and went to bed.
Su Yan woke up when it was almost noon the next day. When she looked out the window, the sun was very high outside.
The woman Zhao Jing had already gotten up and was sitting by the bed waiting for her, her eyes still red, "Your eldest brother went out to buy things, and you ate the buns he bought on the table."
Su Yan yawned and got out of bed, "Have you eaten?"
The woman swallowed and shook her head. Su Yan took the buns and gave her half. She bought six buns, which was obviously enough for this woman.
She took a bite of the bun and said, "What will you do later?"
The woman lowered her head and her eyes were red, "I don't know, I don't know where my wife has gone."
Su Yan saw that she was quite young, probably around 20 years old. She was pretty and her clothes were not cheap.
No wonder those people wanted to take advantage of her.
Sure enough, when people are beasts, they don't care about the situation.
She hesitated and said, "My house was also flooded and I am temporarily living in a cave. If you are not afraid, I will take you back to stay for a few days. When the water recedes, you can go back to find someone."
I sighed in my heart, I didn't even understand it clearly, so I still had to meddle in my own business.
Next time just cover your eyes so you can't see anything.
The woman nodded repeatedly and said with genuine gratitude: "Thank you, sister. When I find my husband-in-law, I will definitely give you money to thank you."
Su Yan didn't say anything. She stood at the window and looked down. From a distance, she saw Qin An carrying a large basket of things, with a quilt tied on top, all sticking out of his head.
After a while, Qin An came in carrying things. Seeing that Su Yan was awake, he put down his backpack and took a wooden comb from his sleeve to her.
He said in a low voice: "I bought spices, pots, and two sets of clothes. Do you think there is anything missing?"
Su Yan didn't expect that he even remembered the comb. While combing her hair, she looked at the things in the backpack. She already had the basic food, "That's it. I can't carry any more."
She remembered something, "She couldn't find her family, so I asked her to go to the cave to stay for a few days, and then go back to look for her when the water receded."
Qin An didn't even look at Zhao Jing, and said "Yeah", "Let's go then."
When leaving town, Su Yan weighed two kilograms of rice crispy cakes from an old woman to fill her stomach when she was hungry on the way.
The way back was dry and the walking was much easier. I guess the woman had not walked much of the mountain road and stumbled several times along the way.
Su Yan could only help her away. Zhao Jing was quite embarrassed and kept telling her that it was too much trouble for her.
After walking for an hour or two, Qin An suddenly reached out and fiddled with the grass cage. The next moment, there was a wild melon in his big hand.
He subconsciously handed it over to Su Yan, "Eat what's inside."
