Chapter one hundred and seventy-seventh sigh

"Okay. Do you want to change clothes?"

Although this group of people are carrying packages, let's talk about it.

It's wet, so it's better to replace it.

"Can."

After all, he came out in a hurry and brought relatively few clothes. Since they are here, it would be disrespectful to deny them.

"this is for you."

Xie Ji signaled to Wang Wu, who took out a piece of gold and handed it to the person in charge of the station.

The man squinted at the ingot of gold and said, "Take it away."

Xie Ji was a little surprised, what is going on?

The staff of the post house noticed Xie Ji's surprise and explained: "This post house is the place where officials are accommodated and documents are delivered. The expenses are borne by the state treasury, so naturally there should be no charges."

After Xie Ji heard this, he thought carefully in his mind, and it seemed that there was such a thing.

However, this was decided at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

From now on, any inn that will not charge more will not let you stay if you don't pay.

Many people have reacted to this kind of thing, but the original person ignored it.

This inn does not charge extra fees every day or two anymore.

If you don't pay, there are many ways to make you pay, which may even delay your official business. If something goes wrong, the responsibility will be on you.

However, this Yunyang Station did not charge any fees, which really surprised him.

"You don't have to pay for this, but other inns do."

Xie Ji then asked for an exit.

"The old man has been the postmaster of the post station for more than 20 years, and he has never charged any fees."

The Yi Cheng of the post station glanced at Xie Ji and then said.

"This is free of charge, which is really rare."

Xie Ji looked at the old man and didn't know what he was feeling, so he could only sigh.

It is indeed rare, there are really few such Yicheng.

"Inns shouldn't charge fees in the first place, hey~"

The old man seemed to be a little emotional, and he could only say a sigh.

Xie Ji looked at the old man. There was too much emotion in the old man's expression, as if he was dissatisfied with the world, helpless with this reality, or contemptuous of those who pursue fame and wealth.

But in the end, it could only turn into a "Hey".

"The old gentleman is a righteous man. He has been able to guard this inn for more than twenty years alone. I am ashamed of myself."

After hearing this long sigh, Xie Ji bowed deeply to the old man. This kind of character is worthy of admiration.

The old man looked at Xie Ji and sighed.

"You can go inside and have a rest. I'll get some clothes for you. They're so wet that you'll easily catch a cold when you wear them."

The old man said to Xie Ji and his group, and after that, he went to a room inside and took out a few sets of clothes.

The old man put the clothes in Xie Ji's hands. Xie Ji could see that although the clothes were not expensive or new, they were indeed neat.

Seeing Xie Ji froze on the spot, with a bewildered expression, he said, "Of course this clothing is not as good as the one you are wearing, but it can still make do."

"Thank you."

Xie Ji took it with a smile. How dare he dislike it? After all, this inn doesn't charge a penny, so there's no harm in getting it for free.

Having such a post station can indeed solve a lot of troubles.

"You're welcome, that's what you should do."

The old man said without any reaction to Xie Ji's words.

Xie Ji looked at the clothes in his hands and didn't know how to express his emotions.

I just reluctantly took the clothes to change.

After taking a hot shower, Xie Ji changed into these clean clothes.

By the way, I also washed my hair. After washing, my wet hair was scattered on my back.

This time there was less arrogance and frivolity, and more freedom and ease.

"Thank you, old sir."

After Xie Ji changed his clothes, he thanked the old man. He was the only one in this inn, so it was really hard work.

"Old sir, does it feel deserted here?" Xie Ji looked at the inn. There was no one there, and there were basically no pedestrians around.

"This Yunyang Station was very lively before." The old man understood Xie Ji's doubts. This was Yunyang Station after all, so how could it be so deserted.

"Things have changed and people have changed. Things have changed and people have changed." The old man sighed. It is true that things have changed and people have changed.

Judging from the decoration of Yunyang Station, it is bright and spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people. It must also have a glorious history.

Moreover, it can be seen from the wood of these buildings that this existence has been around for a hundred or two hundred years. It is okay to say that things have changed and people have changed.

"Old sir, how many officials have passed through Yunyang?"

Xie Ji was a little confused. Yunyang was not in decline. After all, the Xie family was in Yunyang. No matter what happened, they would never be in such a state of decline that officials rarely passed by.

This conveys a lot of news.

"You said you are dissatisfied. Before, Yunyangyi was very lively, with an endless stream of officials coming and going."

"However, in recent years, Yunyang Post has gradually become lonely. Even if ordinary officials come to Yunyang, they will not settle in Yunyang Post." The old man said, he was not the only post manager before, but now, they are all gone, leaving only Yunyang Post.

He is still holding on.

"Then where to stay?"

Where would you go if you didn't stay at the inn? Besides, Yunyang Inn doesn't ask you to pay, so it feels like more people will come.

"There are two places that are common places to stay. One is the Yunyang County Sheriff's Mansion, and the other is the Xie family. Not to mention there are many inns ahead. Those are common places to stay, and Yunyang Post is no longer very popular.

Someone is visiting."

Decades ago, this Yunyangyi was still bustling with activity, but he had watched this glorious place become deserted now.

But maybe these are all God's will. Every glory must have its decline.

In the past, there were magpies chirping in front of the gate of Yunyangyi, but in recent years, we have never heard them again.

When Xie Ji heard this, he was dumbfounded. The Xie family's status in Yunyang was now very famous. Officials who came and went might have to visit once or twice, and it was reasonable for the Yunyang County Sheriff's Office to have many people.

This Yunyang Station is slowly declining. Maybe in a few years, the old man will be gone, and then Yunyang Station will be withdrawn from the stage of history.

"In that case, why does the old gentleman still persist?"

This is indeed true. Since this Yunyangyi can no longer return to its original state, why should we still stick to it?

What's more, it's really not a wise move to stay here in a deserted place with no guests coming and going.

"That's why I have a guest like you."

The old man looked at Xie Ji and said, not only that, but also, he has deep feelings for this Yunyangyi.

He has lived here since he was a child. If he leaves here, he really doesn't know how to live.

What's more, he has persisted for half his life, not less than a few years.

After experiencing the prosperity and decline of Yunyangyi, I also looked down upon the world.

Where life is not life, but also get used to it.

Xie Ji looked at the old man and didn't know what to say. In short, he had many feelings for him.

Presumably this old man still hopes that Yunyangyi can become lively in his heart.

"Xixixixixixi..." Xie Ji looked outside, and it started to rain heavily again.

The leaves made a rustling sound when blown by the wind, and the raindrops in front of the door fell in a regular pattern.
