从进入东川郡,道路就愈发崎岖难行,等到了唐家堡,南宫星胯下坐骑早已筋疲力尽,他一下来,便低头喷个响鼻,嘶嘶甩落一片白沫。“莫慌,我这就带你寻个吃草喝水的去处。”他搂过马头,在面上蹭了一蹭,牵起马缰拾级而上。
                                                                                                                                                                唐家堡依山傍水,大江从旁奔腾而过,气势磅礴。与奔腾江水相对一侧,民居屋舍则仿佛融入到了青翠山峦之中,由串串石阶相连,房顶久经烟雨浸润,生着淡淡苔色,一眼望去,竟有些分不清哪些是遮风挡雨之处,哪些是山间的绿叶华盖。
                                                                                                                                                                官道至此告终,再向内去,尽是些马儿上不去的陡峭台阶,难怪此地高高挑着酒旗,开门迎宾的客栈足有三家之多。南宫星扫了一眼,随便选了一家,牵马过去,摸出一块碎银,半串铜钱,丢给满脸堆笑迎过来的小二,吩咐:“要好些的草料,且寄养着,费用银子里扣,制钱算你的打赏,收好。”小二顿时笑得见牙不见眼,接过马缰连说两声好嘞,就急忙唱名道:“远方贵客一位,里面请。”跑堂伙计搭着毛巾快步迎来,陪笑为他掸了掸灰,便是一串例行恭问。
                                                                                                                                                                “不知要住多久,先押点散银子扣着吧。”南宫星略一思忖,从怀中摸出小锭元宝,在襟口内暗运指力拧下一块,递给跑堂,“去上上戥子,有几日算几日。我若提前走了,再找零就是。”想必最近来这边的江湖豪客不在少数,跑堂伙记颇为谨慎地没有如常寒暄多问,躬身点头,就捧着银钱往柜上去了。
                                                                                                                                                                此地厅堂颇小,且未摆设桌椅,只在后面天井放着长凳矮桌,多半旅客就在房中吃喝。
                                                                                                                                                                跟着跑堂上楼,错肩过去两个劲装汉子,南宫星与他们互望一眼,彼此心里有数,微微一笑拱手抱拳,便算是寒暄。此时到了此地的陌生人,大都心照不宣,不是为了玉捕头,还能是为了什么。
                                                                                                                                                                只不过他心里,还额外惦记着两个女人就是。
