Chapter 20 A Lonely Woman on a Snowy Night (Please Save and Read)

Zhao Ya found Tan Dong and told him to go home after the shift was over. He told Tang Zuier that he was going to be out on a escort mission for a few days, and told her not to worry. After he left, he should go out as little as possible.

Tan Dong agreed.

After dealing with these chores, Zhao Ya followed the escort car on the road.

Out of the city, he saw the fields were barren, the grass and trees were withered, and the scene was desolate.

But there were fewer corpses along the road.

After walking for a whole day, Zhao Ya and others finally arrived at the first place more than 100 miles away from Wuxiang City in the evening.

This is an inn, not large in scale, and the conditions are far from good.

But it is not easy to find a safe place to sleep when you are away from home, so people will not ask for anything else.

Luo Qiang is quite familiar with the owner of this inn. After all, this is a common escort route, and he must know which inns and restaurants along the way are good and safe.

And once you are familiar with it, you will not change it easily.

This inn is one of them.

"Boss Luo, you're out escorting in person in this new year." The shopkeeper laughed.

"Alas, there's nothing we can do. Who would want to come out from so far away to enjoy the cool breeze? Boss, your business is good. It's not exposed to the wind or rain."

"Boss Luo, please stop laughing at me. My small business is just to make a living. How can I compare with you?"

After a few pleasantries, a waiter brought hot meals.

To be honest, the taste of the food was very ordinary, and it was not even as good as Tang Zuier's cooking.

But Zhao Ya still ate it very sweetly.

After all, it was very good to have a hot meal in this cold winter.

After dinner, the waiter had arranged the room, Luo Qiang arranged the night watchman, and the rest of the people hurried back to their rooms to rest.

Zhao Ya received the task of guarding the second half of the night, and Zhou Hua was with him.

I have to mention that a month and a half ago, Zhou Hua finally completed his bone refining and became a porter.

However, compared with Wei Yu and Zhao Ya, his breakthrough seemed mediocre, so it did not attract much attention.

Zhou Hua also became more and more taciturn, and even did not say a word to others all day.

This character also made him more marginalized.

Even this simple task of guarding the silver was not willing to go with him.

In the end, it was Zhao Ya who took the initiative to volunteer, which solved the embarrassment at that time.

Zhao Ya slept until midnight and got up without being reminded by others.

When they came to the room where the silver was stored, Zhou Hua had already arrived.

"Brother Zhao, you have worked hard!" Luo Feng smiled.

Zhao Ya waved his hand, "Go to bed quickly."

Luo Feng and another porter left.

The room was very cold. Although Zhao Ya was not afraid of cold or heat, he still closed all the doors and windows, and then found a chair to sit down.

Zhou Hua directly found a corner and sat on the ground.

Both of them were silent.

Zhou Hua didn't say anything, so Zhao Ya naturally didn't bother to pay attention to him. Instead, he thought about his recent experience in martial arts.

Time passed by, and the room became colder and colder.

There was a strong wind outside the window. Zhao Ya walked to the door and saw that it was snowing outside.

The heavy snow soon dyed the ground white.

Zhao Ya felt bitter in his heart because of such strong wind and heavy snow.

If the snow continued all night, they would not be able to travel tomorrow.

At this time, Luo Qiang also came.

He didn't look good either.

This sudden heavy snow completely disrupted his plan.

If the delivery date was delayed, it would be troublesome.

"Is there anything wrong?" Luo Qiang asked.

Zhao Ya shook his head, "Everything is normal."

Luo Qiang took a look around and confirmed that the seal on the dart box was intact, then he stood in front of the window.

"Oh, I hope the snow won't fall any more, or we won't be able to leave tomorrow."

"Yeah, I hope it won't fall any more." Zhao Ya echoed, and then there was a long silence.

"Uncle Luo, go and have a rest. If it snows, no one can do anything about it. There's no point worrying about it."

"Well! I'm leaving then."

Luo Qiang was about to leave.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the front yard of the inn.

Zhao Ya was stunned.

Who would knock on the door on a snowy night?

Luo Qiang's face changed even more.

"You stay here to guard the silver. 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 it, 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 to stay, so I disturbed you late at night. Please open the door and let me in."

A woman?

A woman traveling alone.

The shopkeeper and Luo Qiang were a little surprised.

But for safety reasons, the shopkeeper still moved a stool and looked out from the small window above the door.

Sure enough.

There was a woman standing 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 and lifted the cloak on her head.

At this moment, even the knowledgeable Luo Qiang couldn't help but be stunned.

Because this woman is so beautiful.

Especially those eyes that make people forget the world.

The shopkeeper was also a little stunned, but he quickly came to his senses.

"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 washed, 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 an ordinary woman 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.
