Chen Huanan's mood when he came to Anxi Prefecture this time was completely different from the previous times. He looked at the cars and horses on the street and felt that everything had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, although she grew up in Leiyang City, she is a girl and has never been to Anxi Prefecture, so she is in a state where everything she sees is new.
She looked around all the way, and compared to Chen Huanan's steady gaze, it seemed like two extremes.
The only thing that can attract Chen Huanan's attention at the moment is probably the wanted notice about his father that is posted all over the city in Anxi Prefecture.
Fortunately for the two of them, although their father's arrest warrant was posted here, their family's escape had not been publicized yet. Therefore, no one realized who they were, and the road guide certificates given by Yunhu Village were real and valid, so they walked very smoothly along the way.
Chen Huanan only remembered the meeting place agreed between his father and him, which seemed to be a place called Huamei Restaurant.
He had never been to that restaurant, let alone heard of it, so along the way, he could only ask locals to ask about Huamei Restaurant. Unexpectedly, he asked several locals in succession, but everyone was as clueless as he was. Know.
For a moment, Chen Huanan was also a little confused.
But Na suddenly said to his eldest brother, "Brother, daddy is still carrying a case on his back. The place where he wants to meet us must not be too conspicuous. So, could this restaurant be that kind of tavern?"
"Instead of asking those gorgeously dressed guests on the street, we should go everywhere and ask the guests who live in ordinary homes."
After hearing what he heard, Chen Huanan could only go to the four streets and ask the passers-by who lived in their homes.
Fortunately, when they arrived at the western suburbs of the city, they finally found out that there was a tavern in the west of the city called the Thrush Tavern.
The two of them walked all the way to the direction ten miles west of the city. They discovered that the so-called Huamei Tavern was just a small shabby house made of bamboo and thatch. The passing guests only ate and drank tea here. Sometimes there are even too many guests, and they have to put tables and chairs outside to entertain guests. ..
And the reason why they could recognize such a small wine shack as the Thrush Tavern was because they put up a sign at the intersection.
Looking at the crowded tavern, Chen Huanan couldn't help but be a little confused. He didn't understand why his father set the meeting place here.
When the waiter saw the brother and sister coming, he just thought, "I'm sorry for the guest. Our store is full and we can't entertain the guests right now. But if the guest can recognize this, we can invite the guest inside." Waiting in the room."
Although Chen Huan'an felt that the waiter's words were strange, he did not refute. He just said, "No need, I'll be fine here. I'm waiting for someone."
However, the waiter asked, "Who are you waiting for, Master?"
"Who do you care I'm waiting for?" Chen Huan'an cursed cautiously and impatiently.
However, the waiter was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he just continued to ask Chen Huanan, "Is the young master's name Chen Huanan?"
Upon hearing the waiter's words, Chen Huanan immediately became vigilant, "How do you know my name?"
The waiter immediately smiled and explained, "Don't be angry, Mr. Chen. Someone asked me to wait here. He gave me a letter and asked me to give the letter to a Mr. Chen Huanan. I think You look a lot like him, so I dared to come and talk to you."
Upon hearing what the waiter said, Chen Huanan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered, "I am Chen Huanan, where is the letter?"
The waiter didn't say much, but immediately took out a letter from his arms.
Chen Huanan got the letter and rewarded the waiter with copper coins, and then he left the Huamei Tavern with him.
When they reached a secluded place, Chen Huanan lowered his head to read the contents of the letter.
However, when he opened the envelope, there was not a single word in the letter. For a moment, Chen Huanan almost thought that he had been tricked by the waiter in the shop. He immediately wanted to go to the waiter to settle the score.
However, his sister took Chen Huanan's hand and said, "Brother, don't worry, I don't think the waiter in this shop is lying to us. After all, if he is a liar, how can he know your name?" "
Hear that, Chen
Huan'an was no longer excited. He only looked at his little sister and said, "It's just that my father didn't show up. Why did he give us a blank piece of paper? With such a blank piece of paper, where are we going?" Find someone?"
While he was talking, he just turned the white paper over and over, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see anything in the white paper.
She was quite smart. She only said, "Since my father didn't show up, it means that it is not convenient for him to show up now. Although my father asked someone to hand over the letter, I don't know if the waiter can believe it. If he reads it, he will believe it." It's not good, so I wonder if my father has done something in this letter to achieve the purpose of not being able to see what is written in the letter?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Huanan's eyes darkened. "Is there any way to turn a piece of letter paper into white paper?"
Without answering Chen Huanan's words directly, she just asked her third brother, "Third brother, did you bring any fire discounts?"
Chen Huanan nodded, "Take it."
Then he said to his eldest brother, "Brother, can you give me the letter and the fire certificate?"
Chen Huanan asked in confusion, "What do you want Huo Zhezi for?"
But she blinked at her brother, she chuckled and said, "Third brother, you will know in a minute."
After saying this, I just went to the nearby woods to pick up some small sticks and firewood.
Chen Huan'an followed her and saw that she was asking for fire folds and preparing small wooden sticks. He couldn't help but ask, are you planning to burn this letter? "
He just said, "Don't worry about it, you will know later."
After saying this, she piled up the dry firewood, and then she just blew on the firewood and burned the flame on the dry firewood. In an instant, a small cluster of light lit up from the dry firewood.
Seeing the light of the fire, he flattened the letter and put it on the fire to bake. After a while of baking, some pictures actually appeared on the originally wordless letter.
However, looking at the contents of the letter, Chen Huanan felt that it was better not to have seen these things. There was not a single word written on it. The whole picture was drawn. The first picture was a tomb, the second picture was a hibiscus, and the third picture was a flower. The three small pictures depict a small mushroom.
Chen Huanan couldn't help but vomited, "What is this? A place name?"
"Is it next to the tomb full of lotus flowers and mushrooms?" Chen Huan'an said without a clue.
Without answering her brother's words, she just said to herself, "If it's a place name, grave? Fen? Fen!"
"Hibiscus is also called lotus, and lotus leads to the river."
"Mushrooms are fungi, Jun? Jun? Jun?"
After pushing him down like this, he couldn't help but turn to look at his brother and said, "Could it be Fenhe County that my father is talking about, which is also close to Anxi Prefecture."
When Chen Huanan heard his sister mention Fenhe County, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and said, "Yes, my father often traveled to Fenhe County back then. Now I'm afraid that my father is really near Fenhe County!"
After Chen Huan'an said this, he only said to his sister, "Then let's go to Fenhe County now."
However, after hearing her elder brother's suggestion, the little girl only looked at her elder brother with a resentful look and said, "Brother, we have no money now. We don't know where to change money."
Chen Huanan was very familiar with this. He only said, "We are not wanted now. I will take you to the pawn shop to pawn some things. I guarantee that your beads will definitely fetch a high price of twenty taels."
After listening to Chen Huanan's words, he took a gold bead from his bag and followed his brother to the pawn shop.
Chen Huanan went to the pawn shop recommended by Sujia Restaurant with ease.
However, when they just arrived at the pawn shop, they saw that the boss was recommending the hosta that he had pawned to a customer. He got the hosta for 900 taels of silver. However, the boss said at that time that he had pawned the hosta. It was expensive to buy, so he almost sold the hairpin at a low price, so now that he saw the other party selling his own hairpin, he also wanted to see how much the store could sell.
The customer only looked at the hairpin carefully, then nodded and said to the shopkeeper, "How much do you want to sell this hairpin?"
The store owner immediately said politely, "This hairpin sells for one thousand taels."
Upon hearing this, not only the guest, but also Chen Huan'andu
shocked.
After a while, the customer asked, "Is the price too high?"
The store owner immediately said, "You have to be optimistic. This is yellow-grained gilt jade. The patterns are all natural. There are not many of them in the world. We bought it for 900 taels at the time. It's not too much to charge you 100 taels more." Bar?"
As soon as he heard this, the guest stopped talking. The main reason was that the hairpin was really beautiful. He thought about it and was about to give out a thousand taels of silver. Chen Huanan immediately smiled and said, "What a thousand taels? This If I give him a hundred taels of stuff, they’ll both make a profit, okay?”
"If you don't know how to appreciate jade, don't talk nonsense." The guest said unhappily.
"I don't know how to read jade? I'm telling you that I am the owner of this hosta. If you don't believe it, you can look at the hollow flower center in the middle. There is a word "an" engraved on it, and that "an" is my name." Chen Huan Ann immediately retorted.
Although the guest found it strange, he still looked at it suspiciously. Unexpectedly, he actually saw the word "an" in the center of the flower.
For a moment, he was just surprised and said, "This hairpin is really yours? Why did you say this thing is only worth a hundred taels?"
When Chen Huanan heard this, he quickly whispered, "I did buy this hairpin for 900 taels, but their family said that my hairpin was not valuable, so they only gave me 2, so if you give me 100 taels, they can still earn it back." Half of it."
