The northern suburbs of the city.
A wooden pillar was erected outside the door of the restaurant, and the wine flag hanging on the wooden pillar fluttered in the wind.
The three words "Xinghua Village" written on the wine flag seem to have faded due to wind and rain all year round, and the handwriting has become incomplete.
Occasionally, families returning from ancestor worship with their young children pass by.
The newly enlightened child ran up to his parents like a treasure, pointed at the wine flag, and chanted, his mouth melting.
The childish words made the literate drinkers in the restaurant burst into laughter.
The child's parents turned red and angry.
Laughter and laughter lingered in the small restaurant, and even the air was filled with joy.
Outside the restaurant.
Luo Heng stopped and greeted Mu Qingwan and Ye Wan'er.
"Come in and have a bowl of soup to warm yourself up."
The restaurant not only sells wine, but also snacks and soups.
Qingming is slightly cold after the rain.
Luo Heng was not afraid of the cold, but he was afraid that the two girls would catch the cold.
After all, they haven't been practicing for long.
Ye Wan'er nodded, saying it was okay.
When Mu Qingwan heard about the food, the expression on her face became eager to try it.
Immediately, the three of them walked into the restaurant slowly.
There was a momentary pause in the laughter.
The knowledgeable Luo Heng people hurriedly stood up and greeted him humbly.
The unfamiliar drinkers also subconsciously restrained their impudence just now, and looked at Luo Heng with a hint of awe.
The man is handsome, the woman is pretty, the clothes are neat, and the bearing is outstanding. At first glance, they are not Guizhou heads.
Not to mention others calling him master.
This made the drinkers who didn't know Luo Heng even more awed.
"Master Luo, are you still the same?"
The restaurant owner personally came forward to greet Luo Heng, his tone implying pride.
Obviously, he realized that knowing Mr. Luo would make him look good in front of the drinkers.
"Well, as usual, a pot of old wine, a cage of rice cakes...and three bowls of sweet soup."
Luo Heng nodded and smiled.
Since he was taken by the old scholar to pay homage to his late wife, he would buy some old wine and rice cakes every year when he passed by the Xinghua Village Restaurant on his way back.
Over the years, even if the old scholar passed away, he had already formed a habit.
"The sweet soup here is good, you can try it later."
After the restaurant turned around, Luo Heng looked at Mu Qingwan and Ye Waner and said.
The so-called sweet soup is actually a soup made with fermented rice, dumplings and sweet fruits. It is quite popular in the south of the Yangtze River.
Those who are more particular will add some dried osmanthus flowers to the soup to add color and fragrance.
Linxi is only separated from Jiangnan by a river, and its taste is basically close to that of Jiangnan.
Therefore, even ordinary small restaurants will sell sweet soup.
After a while, three bowls of sweet soup were served.
In the green porcelain bowl, there are small crystal clear dumplings. The soup is mixed with diluted fermented wine, and a few red sweet fruits are dotted in it. The heat is rising from the bowl, and it looks delicious. look.
Ye Wan'er is from Lin'an, so she is no stranger to sweet soup.
Mu Qingwan, on the other hand, saw sweet soup for the first time. She looked at the porcelain bowl in front of her with a daze in her eyes.
"Come on, open your mouth."
Luo Heng picked up the spoon, scooped up a small dumpling, and brought it to Mu Qingwan's mouth.
The girl subconsciously opened her mouth.
A burst of sweetness spread from her mouth, stimulating her taste buds.
The small dumplings are sweet and glutinous.
The girl thought to herself, it’s delicious.
Luo Heng's actions seemed a bit bold and a bit too polite.
At least, these days, no matter whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, men have never acted like feeding women in public.
This...is not very etiquette.
However, Luo Heng was Master Luo, and although the drinkers who witnessed this scene felt that something was wrong, no one dared to show it.
Ye Waner, who was watching, raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Outsiders didn't understand what he meant and thought Luo Heng was overstepping his bounds, but she understood the young man's intention.
It seemed like this was the first time Wanwan used a spoon and the first time she ate sweet soup.
The young man knew that Wanwan didn't know how to do it, and was afraid that others would look at her strangely, so he deliberately used this intimate method to teach her in disguise.
Ye Wan'er felt that the boy was really considerate.
I hope he and Wanwan will be fine and be together forever.
Mu Qingwan is actually very smart.
She also understood Luo Heng's intention.
So she followed Luo Heng's example, holding a spoon and carefully tasting the sweet soup.
The soup is sweet and warm.
But the girl felt that her heart was sweeter and warmer.
…
Call.
Suddenly there was the sound of horses honking outside the restaurant.
Immediately afterwards, several men wearing samurai uniforms and with a strong aura walked in.
Those men all had sabers hanging on their waists. As soon as they came in, they glanced around at everyone present, their eyes sharp and sharp.
Luo Heng, who was drinking soup, raised his head and glanced at these men.
He had recognized the identity of the group.
Embroidery Guard!
Although this group of people did not wear flying fish brocade robes, the swords on their waists seemed to be disguised.
But the aura on their bodies cannot fool anyone.
The atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is mixed with the atmosphere of the army.
Only Xiu Yiwei in Da Chu has both.
After all, Xiuyiwei is also an army after all.
The emperor's own army.
It's just that the people they deal with are more people in the world.
"Strange, why is the Xiu Yiwei here again?"
Doubt flashed through Luo Heng's heart.
The order to arrest Mu Qingwan had been revoked, which he had confirmed from County Magistrate Bai.
It stands to reason that Xiuyiwei is unlikely to appear in Linxi County again.
Linxi is not a big county, and there are very few Jianghu people there on weekdays. No matter how you look at it, there is nothing worth paying attention to.
"Is it because of Bai Yuan?"
Luo Heng thought secretly.
He never thought that his plan could be hidden from those smart people.
After all, Magistrate Bai is just too mediocre.
People who know Bai Yuan find it hard to believe that he relied on a few government officials to ambush and kill the world-class thousand-legged dog Wang Li.
"That's all. No matter what the reason for the Xiuyi Guard's visit is, he can't find it on me. He's just watching the show."
After thinking for a moment, Luo Heng put aside his doubts.
As long as Xiuyiwei didn't come for him and Mu Qingwan, he would be happy to watch the show.
Inside the restaurant.
The drinkers were all afraid of the fierce aura of the embroidered guards, so they all hurriedly paid their bills and left.
When the restaurant inside saw this, they secretly complained.
With this group of vicious people here, who dares to come to the door? How can we do this business?
Seeing that all the drinkers in the restaurant were leaving in an instant, the leader Xiu Yiwei showed a helpless look in his eyes.
He shook his head, took out a piece of silver, and slapped it on the table.
"Restaurant, let's bring ten kilograms of old wine first, and then cut some plates of mutton."
These words made the restaurant owner inside feel happy and he was very busy.
The embroidered guards took their seats one after another.
The leader's eyes gradually fell on Luo Heng and the other three who were still eating sweet soup.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, but in the end he didn't speak.
Although this man and two women look very good-looking, they are obviously ordinary people who don't know martial arts.
Although Xiuyiwei is now criticized for being cruel, domineering, and unreasonable, he is not a gangster after all.
At least... not in his case.
Feeling the gaze, Luo Heng glanced at the leading man.
This person is a master.
According to the setting of the original work, not many among the Xiuyi Guards can reach the master level.
The two deputy commanders are masters.
The four great governors are also masters.
But I don't know which one he is.
