The four of them were gentlemen's friends, and they left separately after eating.

For a while, Qianzhou had nothing to do again.

Qianzhou is originally quiet, and he can spend an afternoon with a book. But it's a bit of a struggle for him to spend hours in the city.

After just two laps, Qianzhou didn't know what to do.

There are a variety of shops on the street, but Qianzhou is really not interested in all kinds of clothing, as well as jewelry and jade. As for all kinds of snacks, there is no gravitational attraction for Qianzhou, who has just finished lunch.

At this point, Qianzhou found that he was idle for the first time since Yundu.

Passers-by walking side by side, children laughing and running in the alleys, and smoke wafting from the cooking...... Far from making Qianzhou feel calm, these scenes full of life made Qianzhou more and more irritable.

What was originally a walk turned into a brisk walk, and finally Qianzhou actually trotted up, just trying to avoid the noisy crowd.

In the end, Qianzhou didn't know where he had come.

"Guests, if you have time, please come in and have a look. ”

Maybe it was because he saw that Qianzhou had been wandering for too long, and the owner of the shop opened his mouth to invite.

Qianzhou followed the sound and looked, only to find that he had come to a flower shop near a flower shop.

The main body of the flower shop is a small two-story building, and the huge glass windows reflect a colorful scene. On the stone wall beside it, there is an exquisite handmade wooden shelf, on which pots of green flesh are crowded, and the fleshy leaves are verdant and lovely.

Under the shelves, all kinds of flowers are placed together in harmony and desire. The red shandan is like a dancing flame, the purple stars hang down from the branches, the closed hanging bell is shy, but the pink plum is generous. There were also lilies, morning glories, and many more that I couldn't name.

Qianzhou looked up and saw the name of the shop "blomsterskuret" in the shade of spider plants.

When I walked into the store, I found that the flowers outside were just a drop in the ocean compared to the inside of the store.

On the rows of wooden shelves, there are almost no duplicate flowers on display, and various fragrances linger together but do not appear pungent. The afternoon sun filtered through the glass on the second floor and smeared a layer of gold dust on the glamorous ladies.

It's hard to imagine a shop in the commercialized city of Luntai that slows down time, and it's hard to imagine that you can see such gorgeous flowers in the northwest in November.

Only then did Qianzhou see the shopkeeper's appearance - his brown hair was already a little gray, and his emerald pupils were still bright. The facial features are three-dimensional, but the skin is already wrinkled. Perhaps because the afternoon sun was still warm, the shopkeeper wore only a black waistcoat over his white shirt and held a kettle, carefully watering each plant.

"Hello. Chishu greeted the shopkeeper politely.

"Welcome, guest. The shopkeeper smiled, "Do any of these kids like it?"

The owner's tone is one of heartfelt pride, like introducing a proud child.

"These kids are beautiful. Qianzhou said sincerely.

Even if he is a straight man who knows little about flowers, he can still feel the beauty and vitality in them. This is a dazzling brilliance that can only be brought forth by dedication.

"It's great if you can like it. The shopkeeper seemed to be very praised by Yong Qianzhou, "If there is anything you like, it will be a gift for our meeting this time." ”

"Nope. Qianzhou shook his head, "If it's convenient, I naturally can't ask for it." However, I am still on the road and have no ability to take care of them for the time being. ”

"That's a shame. The shopkeeper didn't force it, but sighed regretfully.

Then the shopkeeper asked, "Do you want tea?" I have some homemade flower tea here. ”

"It's not good. Chishu was a little embarrassed by the owner's enthusiasm.

"I just saw the guest wandering outside for a long time, as if I was confused, and specially asked the guest to come and chat with me, an old man. ”

Qianzhou was stunned: "Is it so obvious?"

I have always felt that I am moody.

"Haha, it's not obvious. The shopkeeper smiled, "It's just that I'm also from this age, so I have some experience." ”

"Thank you then. Qianzhou finally agreed.

The shopkeeper brought the tea set, and the two sat down on the wooden table outside the store.

The shopkeeper poured a full cup of tea for Qianzhou. In the pale yellow tea, you can see the ups and downs of unknown petals, and the elegant smell comes to your nose.

Qianzhou took a sip gently, and suddenly the rich layering bloomed on the tip of his tongue. It's like walking through spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the flowers grow in turn, and then wither in turn. What should bloom will never be delayed, and what should be left will never stay. In the end, only a hint of aftertaste slips down the throat.

"Great taste. Qianzhou praised.

"I saw that the mood of the guests was better. The shopkeeper was still smiling, "If you have any doubts, you can say it." ”

"The shopkeeper is not from the Qin Kingdom. Instead of answering positively, Qianzhou asked the shopkeeper a question.

"Indeed, I am from the Duchy of Sophine in the Western Continent. "There's nothing to hide for the owner.

"Then why did you come to the Qin State from thousands of miles away, and finally settle in the Qin State?"

"Well. The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "In my early years, I also traveled between China and the West as frequently as these merchants in Luntai. It wasn't until I met my wife, who loved flowers so much, that we opened this flower shop in Luntai and settled here. ”

Qianzhou glanced at the interior of the store without a trace, but did not speak.

The shopkeeper sighed: "But later, my wife died of illness. Now I'm the only one left in this shop. ”

"Won't the shopkeeper be homesick? won't miss the little tune on the Sofen Snow Field? won't miss the thick soup of the Winter Festival? No matter how good the Qin Kingdom is, it is still a foreign country to the shopkeeper, right?" Qianzhou asked the doubts buried in his heart.

Only then did the shopkeeper understand what was going on in Qianzhou's heart.

"If you're homesick, why don't you go back and have a look?"

"There's no going back. Qianzhou lowered his head, his eyes reddened slightly, "I can't go back anyway." ”

After all, Qianzhou was still a sixteen-year-old boy, and he was originally crowded with all kinds of things, and he didn't have time to think about it at that time. But at noon, I was reminded of nostalgia by a meal, and the sorrow in my heart intensified as if it had taken root. The boy who left home alone for the first time finally realized the taste of "three thousand feet of white hair, and sorrow like a long one".

However, after Qianzhou went through the baptism of blood and fire in Yundu, and witnessed thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with his own eyes, he didn't cry after all, and quickly adjusted his mood.

"Sorry to make the shopkeeper smile. ”

"It doesn't matter, everything is forgivable for a child your age in Sophen. If you can't go back, keep moving forward. I remember that there is a saying in the state of Qin, which is called 'This place of peace is my hometown'. ”

Qianzhou took the tea and drank it all, then got up: "Shopkeeper, there is a sentence in your words that I can't agree with. ”

"Because I'm no longer a child. ”
