At noon, even the snow could not conceal the enthusiasm of every household for cooking. Smoke began to rise from the chimneys covered with snow. Especially now that it was the first month, the new year was approaching, and the work of the year was gradually coming to an end. Residents have also begun to spend time with their children and families. People wearing winter clothes and playing can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, which is particularly lively.
Lin Xiaolu was not afraid of the cold, but still put on a thicker gray robe and walked in the snowy scene with an oil-paper umbrella.
Ling Wei followed behind, looking at the young man with an umbrella covered with snow in front of him and his hair tied into a ball, and kept asking curious questions:
"Shopkeeper Xiaolin, what is your real name?"
"Shopkeeper Xiaolin, why do you wear such thick clothes? Just like ordinary people, you are not afraid of the cold, are you?"
"Shopkeeper Xiao Lin, what kind of spiritual method do you practice? Buddhist or Taoist? Could it be Confucian?"
"Shop Manager Xiao Lin, our Bei Yao Sect belongs to Taoism. What do you think of my spiritual method?"
Lin Xiaolu, who was pestered by a little girl's chatter, felt a little headache. However, he had stayed in Wangchuan for a long time, and his mood was already comparable to that of a centenarian, so he just nodded lightly and said casually:
"Miss Ling Wei, I can't give you any benefits. You can't learn from me."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Wei's eyes immediately lit up and she looked straight at the two bracelets on Lin Xiaolu's right wrist.
"Shopkeeper Xiaolin, actually I don't choose, what is your bracelet for?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu glanced at her, then ignored her and walked towards the stone bridge in front, while Ling Wei continued to follow.
She has been completely sure that the shopkeeper Xiaolin in front of her is a mysterious master with a very genuine temperament. She has a purpose in approaching him and deliberately hides it. He will not like it. On the contrary, if she says straightforwardly: "I want a big baby." On the contrary, he will Will think highly of myself.
Hehe, I thought the immortal cultivators outside the sect were too smart. As expected, real bosses are people who like to be honest.
Walking onto the stone bridge, Lin Xiaolu, who was holding an umbrella, saw several children running around and yelling and playing on the frozen ice under the bridge. His eyes froze slightly, and with one look, the lake under the ice surface It immediately froze quickly, and the entire ice surface thickened and strengthened without anyone noticing. Even Ling Wei, an immortal cultivator, didn't notice it.
This method was acquired by Lin Xiaolu after his breakthrough. He discovered that he could use the Qi in his body to affect the Qi of other things, making everything change according to his own wishes. However, this method is not very obvious yet and seems to be undeveloped. Completely, he is still researching it.
As for the bracelet Ling Wei asked him for, it was impossible for him to give it to him. There were two bracelets, one of which contained a knife. He had used this knife to commit suicide in Wangchuan. He remembered it, but this knife was He couldn't remember how it came. It was too long ago. He only vaguely remembered that it was given by the person he respected and relied on the most.
He is probably either his father or his master.
As for the other bracelet, well, it’s actually a bracelet, but it looks more like a bracelet. Lin Xiaolu really doesn’t remember the function of this bracelet. After all, after entering Wangchuan, he never felt anything in that seemingly infinite time. Having used this bracelet, it is probably a commemorative jewelry or something like that.
Of course, whether it is a bracelet to hold the knife or a commemorative jewelry, they are all important to me, but I still count on these two objects to remind me of the past.
People often say that you don’t need to care about the past and focus on the future. This sentence is correct, but it does not mean that you don’t care about the past at all. The past is a part of life. If there is no past, then a person is a rootless person.
Lin Xiaolu wanted to recall his past, because he understood that it would be a terrible thing if there was no place to come from in life and only the way back, so no matter how bad the past was and how unbearable it was to look back, he must face it. It faces one's own life.
This is true for both humans and immortals.
After walking across the stone bridge and arriving at Fireworks Alley, walking on the snow-covered bluestones, everyone who saw Lin Xiaolu along the way would greet him and call out "Shopkeeper Xiaolin" with a smile.
Lin Xiaolu also responded with a smile, while Ling Wei continued to follow behind with her head tilted.
"Shopkeeper Xiaolin, you are so polite. You don't feel like a senior anymore."
When Ling Wei said this, Lin Xiaolu happened to pass by a stall selling Qingtuan. He casually took a piece of Qingtuan, turned around and stuffed it into the girl's mouth, and then left a sentence:
"Pay the money or don't go to the brothel with me."
Ling Wei, holding a green dumpling in her mouth:? ? ?
She reluctantly paid the stall owner's mother-in-law, then took a few bites, and then her eyes lit up!
This snack tastes good!
It's soft and waxy, with the fragrance of mugwort leaves, and inside is warm bean paste, which is moderately sweet and delicious!
The girl who couldn't resist sweets narrowed her eyes in love.
When Ling Wei followed Lin Xiaolu, she held an oil paper bag in her arms, filled with green balls, and her mouth was stuffed.
Lin Xiaolu, who was holding an umbrella, looked at it and said with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
"Yeah, yeah." Ling Wei thought straight:
"It's so delicious, better than roasted sweet potatoes."
Lin Xiaolu smiled, said no more, and looked up at Furongfang where Yingying Yanyan was standing in front of him.
Places like brothels usually open at noon and close at midnight. It was noon now and Furongfang had just opened, so Lin Xiaolu should be among the first customers to come. He had nothing to do in the afternoon and was going to stay here. Drink tea and listen to music all afternoon.
This is not the first time he has come to this place. Besides, he is a familiar face in Mudan Town. This is not to brag. Lin Xiaolu’s appearance and figure are well-known throughout Mudan Town, especially his lazy pair of eyes. There was a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes, which fascinated many young ladies in the town.
At this moment, as soon as he appeared with Ling Wei, who turned into a delicious ghost, the girls at the entrance of the square greeted him with surprise, and the MILF's mother in charge also came out to entertain him immediately.
"How come Shopkeeper Xiao Lin is so free today? Hey, he even brought a little girl with him. Is Shopkeeper Xiao Lin finally open to meat?"
The group of Yingge Yanwu behind the steward's mother laughed out loud, and they all looked at Lin Xiaolu and the confused Ling Wei.
Lin Xiaolu smiled and said:
"Mother Zhou, this girl is my maid. Don't be ridiculous. Is the food boss here today?"
"Oh, don't be surprised, shopkeeper Xiao Lin, the food boss went back to his hometown in Yanzhou to celebrate the New Year two days ago."
The woman smiled charmingly and pulled Lin Xiaolu into the house. Ling Wei followed curiously behind her.
"Shopkeeper Xiao Lin, the food boss is not here, and I don't have any other pillars here. I know you like to listen to music. It just so happens that there are not many customers at the opening now. How about I find some good waiters to accompany you?" "
Lin Xiaolu closed her umbrella, spoke in a gentle tone, and asked with a smile: "Can you sing the Palace of Eternal Life?"
"Oh, look at what you said, how can I let Xinsu sing for you." The woman covered her mouth and "clucked" in joy.
