…
Zuimenglou, on the corridor.
"Haha..." Qian You teased Xiao Yao'er all the way, causing Xiao Yao'er, who was holding Qian You's arm, to look full of reluctance: "鞥——"
The two of them walked up the stairs. However, when they turned to the circular staircase on the third floor...
The third floor was already in front of us. As long as we turned around this corner, we could go straight up. However, Xiao Yaoer suddenly stopped angrily and turned around to avoid Qian You's lecherous hand: "鞥——"
"Hehe..." Qian You smiled and was about to put his right hand into his sleeve pocket to get some money.
But when he lowered his head, Qian You suddenly froze, and then looked to his lower right in surprise and hesitation.
It was a private room on the second floor, and it was the first one right next to the stairs.
Of course, although these private rooms have no front wall, screens are used as partitions on the left and right, and a row of shorter screens are hung above them as curtains to partially cover them.
Therefore, from Qianyou's perspective, the face of the person sitting on the left cannot be seen.
However, through the gaps between these curtains, Qian You could see... Shi Chongrui's face.
Although it's not a full picture, it's enough money to identify Shi Chongrui. Naturally, you can also see Shi Chongrui toasting with his predecessors.
"鞥——" But Xiao Yao'er's grievance pulled Qian You back from the shock at this glance.
"Master Qian..." Seeing Xiao Yao'er's aggrieved and resentful look, Qian You couldn't help but be startled, but then he took out the silver and patted it into the other's little hand with a smile: "Hey——"
"Hey." Xiao Yao'er hummed softly, then turned over his hand to accept the money, and went upstairs with the money in his arms with a smile.
"Haha..." Although Qian You was walking up with a smile, he kept pulling his head and looking down.
…
A few days later, Shao County.
"Candied haws on a stick——, fragrant and sweet candied haws on a stick——" The candied haws on a stick seller carried a big sugar column and paraded around the streets singing and selling it. Didn't he attract a lot of young men and their parents to gather around?
It coincides with the temple fair, and the city is very lively: two lions play with people on the street, and flowers and drums accompany them. When tourists see ghost faces, they turn out to be ancient dances. There are many stalls and it’s a lively atmosphere.
"Crack-" Liu Pingkuan praised loudly after taking a sip of wine, and then carried the wine gourd to the busy place.
He came here alone to join in the fun. Zhao Yufeng was still weaving at home and would not come until later.
Liu Yue was also embroidering handkerchiefs at Xiaozhu's house, while the father and son went fishing.
"Cooking cakes——, cooking cakes——, crispy cooking cakes——"
"Three delicacies and small steamed buns, don't buy them if they are not fresh. Hey, come, come, try each one."
"Yeah."
"How's it going? Is it fresh?"
"Not fresh."
"Get out of here, you——Bu Xian..."
…
"Haha..." The liveliness of the long street made Liu Pingkuan couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the fun and bustle everywhere, he was naturally not willing to be lonely and have a drink.
However, before the big mouth reached the mouth of the gourd, Liu Pingkuan was suddenly stunned: "Huh?"
Stunned, Liu Pingkuan couldn't help but slowly put down the wine gourd, and then turned to look at the tavern located in front of him to his right.
"Hospitality is coming" has both horizontal plaques and vertical signs.
But under the sign hanging on the wall on the right side of the door, there is a bakery vendor setting up a cake stall with no eyes open.
Now, Shi Chongrui was standing in front of the stall with a smile, waiting for the stall owner to roll the meat patties.
As a big-headed man, the owner of this stall is very skilled in making rolls, and there is no trace of stuffing or uncleanness. And on the dinner plate next to the cutting board, a meat burrito wrapped in oil paper has been placed.
"Hehe..." As soon as the cakes were rolled, the stall owner smiled happily and handed the two prepared rolls to Shi Chongrui who was opposite him with both hands: "Five coins are enough, but more is not required. "
"Huh." Shi Chongrui smiled leisurely, then nodded lightly and placed five coins on the corner of the table. Then he stretched out his hands and took the oil-paper roll: "Thank you."
"Hehe..." The stall owner grinned and nodded slightly.
Shi Chongrui smiled and shook his head, then turned and walked towards the tavern.
"Haha..." The stall owner wiped his hands on his white apron first, then reached out and took back the money and stuffed it into the bib on his apron: "Burrito, burrito, three cents for one, five cents for two .”
The stall owner was not shouting, but directly speaking loudly, which sounded a bit funny.
It wasn't until he watched Shi Chongrui walk into the tavern that Liu Pingkuan froze and said, "Uh."
After being stunned for a moment, Liu Pingkuan suddenly frowned, but after just a moment of thought, he was convinced.
Afterwards, he cautiously glanced around, and only when no suspicious person was found, he slipped towards the tavern.
…
Heyang, Liuzhai.
"Hehe..." As Zhao Yufeng closed the door, he did not forget to show off to Liu Yue behind him with a smile: "Look at how smooth this cloth is, it is exactly the same as the one in the store."
"Huh." Liu Yue smiled slightly but did not answer. The thing she was holding in her arms was naturally the gray cloth knitted by Zhao Yufeng.
"Haha..." After locking the door, Zhao Yufeng turned over and put the key into her sleeve pocket, then took Liu Yue's arm and walked out: "Hurry up, don't let people borrow the carriage. ——I don’t want to be crowded with people in the cloth store, and I don’t want to have to stride across to the city.”
Liu Yue shook her head and smiled, then walked faster.
…
Shao County, welcome to the tavern.
"Come on, come on, have another bowl, have another bowl..." When this greedy drinker stood up with the wine jar to persuade him to drink, Liu Pingkuan also stepped aside for the thief, looking around and hanging sideways while Shi Chongrui touched it. On the second floor.
"Huh." Shi Chongrui walked straight up to the third floor with a smile, and without stopping, turned to the first room on the right side of the corridor.
Now, Liu Pingkuan was leaning against the wall all the way, holding on to the wall with his open hands as he sneaked around the corner.
Since Shi Chongrui's half body could be seen from this exposure, Liu Pingkuan naturally retracted his head in a hurry. But then, he couldn't help but crane his neck to peek carefully.
At the same time, at the door of the room.
Shi Chongrui held two burritos with his left hand for a moment, and then gently knocked on the door twice with his right hand: Boo, boo.
As soon as this sound came out, Liu Pingkuan immediately retracted his neck.
However, no response for a long time.
Liu Pingkuan also stretched out his head again without hearing any movement. Naturally, he did not dare to act rashly, and he was even more afraid that running to the handrail of the stairs and watching closely would attract Shi Chongrui's attention.
After seeing no response for a long time, Shi Chongrui couldn't help but frown slightly, and knocked on the door again: "General."
As soon as he said this, Liu Pingkuan's pupils shrank, and then he turned around and fled from here in a hurry.
Ta-ta-ta!
The heavy and panicked footsteps naturally made Shi Chongrui frown and his eyes narrow, but he did not follow to see what was going on, but opened the door gloomily.
squeak……
However, the room is empty and there is no one in bed!
"Damn it..." Shi Chongrui gritted his teeth gloomily, then dropped the burrito in his hand and turned around to leave.
Snap.
The two meat burritos were miserable, but they could no longer save the figure of the man who hurriedly went downstairs...
…
Heyang, Xiaozhu Riverbank.
"Haha..." Ling Yunzhi smiled and put away the fishing net. Ling Ye also grinned and dragged the fishing net hard: "Hehe..."
However, once the net is pulled up... there is only one stone weighing down the crab.
"Tsk!" Seeing this beautiful scenery, Ling Ye threw away the fishing net and then rushed over angrily.
The river crab was only half a palm in size, so it could easily be picked out of the grid by Ling Ye using his left pliers.
"Haha..." Seeing Ling Ye frowning while carrying a river crab, Ling Yunzhi couldn't help but smile happily, then spread out the fishing net and walked over: "The harvest is not bad."
"Hmph!" Ling Ye nodded heavily and hummed. He had never hummed the word "hum" so clearly in his life.
"Huh." After a snort, Ling Ye snorted again, and then stood up with a small river crab: "You still have the nerve to smile, I told you to change the place to cast the net, Bai Jia Zhu is holding the bamboo Paddle over there and take a tow."
Ling Ye was really aggrieved, and his face was full of depression and dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, hehehehe..." Ling Yunzhi couldn't hold back his evil smile, and then squatted down to pick up stones from the net: "Why are you talking to me, hehehe, hehehehe..."
"You're still laughing!" Ling Ye stomped his foot angrily, and then angrily threw the crab back into the water. He looked at the spot where the crab fell into the water and muttered: "Huh! Such a small one can even run into the big net. , bring your parents to see me next time."
"Hehe, hehehe..." Ling Yunzhi was so teased that he couldn't stop laughing. He even shrunk his neck and shook his head: "You kid talks in human language... Ka Ka, ha ha ha..."
But before the smile ended, Ling Yunzhi suddenly frowned, and then stood up with his smile fading and his brows widening.
When he saw his father getting up from the corner of his eye, Ling Ye frowned and then turned around angrily.
But Ling Yunzhi didn't look at him, but turned to look at the treeline in front of him to his left.
Seeing this, Ling Ye couldn't help but frown and followed Ling Yunzhi's gaze.
Under the shade of the trees, wearing black boots and python robes, the man had his hands behind his back but his eyes were lowered. If he talked about Kong Wu, he would remain silent.
The one who came and stopped was none other than Duan Zhigan!
Seeing the other person lowering his head and not moving, Ling Ye frowned. Then he walked to Ling Yunzhi and stood next to him, but his eyes never left Duan Zhigan, and... in the look he looked at, he even wanted to A hint of hostility exists.
"Huh." Ling Yunzhi suddenly smiled slightly, then turned towards Duan Zhigan, and said with a long smile: "Brother, why are you here?"
Duan Zhi felt that the silence was deeper and his eyes were even less volatile.
Seeing this, Ling Ye pursed his lips immediately, then reached out and grabbed the corner of Ling Yunzhi's clothes at the waist.
Duan Zhigan was silent for a while, then he looked up at Ling Ye and said, "I came here to find an old friend."
Ling Ye acted sullenly, and Duan Zhigan was also silent at this time.
After a moment of silence, Duan Zhigan shook his head slightly in confusion, then turned to look at Ling Yunzhi, smiled slightly and said: "But when you pass by this place, you forget where you are going."
"Oh?" Ling Yunzhi raised his eyebrows, but his eyes were very deep, but he suddenly smiled casually: "Since you are lost, why not go to the humble house and have a few drinks?"
Hearing this, Ling Ye suddenly frowned, but he didn't interrupt. He just slowly tightened the flesh of Ling Yunzhi's lower back with increasing force, causing Ling Yunzhi's waist to straighten and his face to squeeze.
"What a stinky boy!" Of course, Ling Yunzhi only cursed this in his heart.
Regarding these, Duan Zhigan chose to remain silent and couldn't help but lower his eyes.
But after the silence, he smiled slightly, then stretched out his right hand to ask for help, nodded to Ling Yunzhi and said with a chuckle: "Excuse me."
Ling Yunzhi smiled slightly, then grabbed Ling Ye's left wrist with his backhand, and dragged Ling Ye back to Xiaozhu: "Follow me."
"Net——!" Although Ling Ye couldn't break free, he didn't forget the belongings behind him.
"Hey, what is that?" Ling Yunzhi pulled Ling Ye upright and followed him angrily, and then angrily whispered a lesson: "You kid, go back and be honest with me! If you don't give me any more, let's see how I deal with it. you."
"Ugh!" Ling Ye snorted angrily, and then reluctantly followed the other person forward.
Duan Zhigan was silent for a moment, and then followed him with a smile.
There are bamboo rafts on the river bank, and fishing nets are sleeping on the black rocks.
The waves are like ripples, and the floating leaves can depend on each other.
