"Sister Liuye, this is it!"
What Chu San brought her to this time was not a big restaurant in the capital, but a shop on the street. The decoration looked very simple, and it didn't look like a place where Chu San would come.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a hot aroma. Looking over, it was full of guests and it was so lively.
Chu San took her to the wing on the second floor and ordered some dishes with the waiter.
While waiting, Su Liuye saw it was snowing again outside the window. The light snow gradually became heavier. With the violent cold winter, it only happened in just half an hour. Su Liuye hadn't even finished her meal yet. .
After waiting for a while, the waiter brought their orders.
Chu San introduced from the side, "Sister Liu Ye, the late emperor ate at this restaurant before when he went on a private visit. It's very delicious. Come and try it!"
Probably because he said the wrong thing yesterday, Chu San was very active today. He kept greeting her, picking up food for her, and introducing the history of this store. He was very enthusiastic.
Just in the middle of the conversation, there was a knock on the door of the wing, and the waiter came over hurriedly, "I'm sorry, you two guests, the plaque on our store door was crushed by the heavy snow. If you two are in a hurry to leave, Just go out through the backyard fence, and if you’re not in a hurry, you can wait until we fix the plaque.”
Chu San put it on the tea cup, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not in a hurry to leave. I wonder if Sister Liu Ye is in a hurry?"
When the waiter heard this, he quickly explained, "Guests, if you want to go out from the backyard, you can only climb over the fence of the backyard. That door has been blocked by heavy snow."
After hearing these words, Su Liuye naturally didn't want to climb over the wall. If she climbed over the wall when the snow was so heavy outside, it would easily cause an accident. She was not in a hurry to leave anyway.
"No, let's just wait here. I'm not in a hurry."
"Sorry for bothering you two guests!" the waiter said gratefully, "Our shopkeeper has spoken. This accident was caused by our store. In order to apologize, we specially prepared hot wine and some side dishes for the guests. I will give them to you now. send over."
"good."
Su Liuye nodded.
After a while, the waiter came back with hot food and wine in his hand.
Su Liuye stood up and walked to the window. When she pushed the window open, she clearly felt that there was snow blocking it outside. It took some effort for her to push it open. She stretched out her head and looked down and saw that the plaque on the door was already there. In front of the gate, heavy snow blocked the way out like a hill.
Several store waiters were busy clearing the heavy snow in front of the door, and several neighbors nearby were also on their way to help. However, due to the heavy snow and wind, everyone moved slowly, and from time to time they had to go to the house to avoid the snow and wind, which led to the entire cleaning process. The process flies very slowly.
It took about an hour before most of the snow was cleared. The shopkeeper took the time to call the master craftsman, hoping to repair the plaque before it got dark.
As a result, the wind and snow worsened again in the evening, delaying the project. Su Liuye glanced at the sky. They had been delayed here for most of the day. If they didn't leave until nightfall, they would be unable to move forward.
The drinks brought to them by the store had already gone cold. Chu San drank a lot of wine and fell asleep against the wall.
Su Liuye went over to wake him up, and the two of them braved the wind and snow to find a carriage nearby. As soon as Chu San got on the car, she leaned against the carriage and fell asleep again.
Su Liuye didn't intend to wake him up, so she asked the coachman to bring a blanket and lightly cover Chu San's body. When she lowered her head, she saw that the jade pendant originally hanging around Chu San's waist was missing!
She had just seen this jade pendant, so it seemed that she had lost it on the way.
"Old sir, please watch him for me. I have lost something and I have to go outside to look for it."
The jade pendant on Chu San was of very good quality, and it was obvious at first glance that it was worth a lot of money, so she naturally wanted to find it back.
The coachman was waiting outside. Hearing her words, he also nodded, telling her to go back early and come back early. There was a lot of wind and snow outside, and it was already dark, so don't waste time outside.
"Excuse me, old gentleman, I will be back as soon as possible."
After saying this, Su Liuye got off the carriage and searched along the way they came, being very careful along the way so as not to miss it. There was thick snow on the road and it was dark, so she could only use the candlelight from nearby stores to carefully search.
The heavy wind and snow fell on her body. Su Liuye wrapped her robe tightly, but her cheeks were still hurt by the cold wind.
Just when she was annoyed that she couldn't find the jade pendant anywhere, suddenly there seemed to be a line of sight falling on her behind her, stronger than the cold wind! She couldn't help but shudder, and when she looked back, she couldn't see anything in the darkness over there, and could only barely see the white snow piled on the ground.
Is it an illusion?
Su Liuye frowned, a chill came from the bottom of her heart and spread throughout her body.
She didn't dare to delay further on the road and hurriedly turned back along the way she came. She just wanted to get back to the carriage as soon as possible!
She originally wondered if the jade pendant had been left in the store where they had just eaten. Since they had been in the store all afternoon, it would not be surprising if the jade pendant was left there, but someone seemed to be staring at her nearby.
Su Liuye quickened her pace. Seeing the carriage just ahead, her shoulder was suddenly pulled by a strong force, trying to drag her back to the alley.
The plaque at the entrance of the store has not yet been finished, and Su Liuye and the two left through the backyard just now.
In order to make it easier for customers to leave, the store uses tables and chairs to create a path in the backyard. You can step on the tables and cross the fence to get out.
She suspected that the jade pendant had been lost at this time, so she walked along the alley to look for it, but she did not expect that someone would be waiting for her in the alley.
"Who?"
Feeling someone pulling her hand, Su Liuye turned around and was about to struggle, but the person following her took out a sack and put it over her head, blocking her view.
Su Liuye thought to himself that it was not good and struggled even more vigorously. This person came well prepared!
"Come on! Someone wants to arrest me!"
Realizing that this person did it on purpose, Su Liuye shouted at the top of her voice. The person behind her was obviously panicked and tried to cover her mouth and drag her back to the alley.
Su Liuye bit his hand hard, and a man's sound of pain came from behind.
"let me go!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Liuye kicked the man's foot, making the sound of pain louder. She took this opportunity to push the person away, rushed forward, and pulled the sack off her head at the same time. When she turned around, she saw a man running towards the alley in a hurry, as if he was afraid that she would see his face.
Who is this person?
Even if it was just a back view, Su Liuye was sure that she had never seen this person before.
