Datong County, Juyun County, a restaurant called Datong Restaurant, there is a very busy figure, the person looks a little old, but the hands and feet are numb, when greeting the guests, a smile, the face shows two shallow dimples, the body has been lying around, to introduce the signature dishes in the restaurant and the good wine sold to the guests.

The tavern keeper saw that this middle-aged man who looked a little honest had moved here a few years ago, and after observing for a while, he responded to his request to work in the tavern.

In the past few years, he has been busy in the restaurant, and he is very diligent, and the old shopkeeper is ready to give him another half of the silver salary this year, but somehow, just this morning, the honest man who stood up straight suddenly said to him that he was not going to work in the restaurant from now on.

The old shopkeeper had to raise his salary when he mentioned it, but in exchange for the middle-aged man who stood up straight and was more than half a head taller than him, shook his head, just bent down and bowed to the old shopkeeper, and went back to the front hall of the tavern and got busy again.

At noon, the number of customers in the restaurant increased, and the honest man who had been smiling and arranging for the guests to sit was still running around.

Several restaurant regulars have a good impression of this honest man, although he looks stronger, but whenever he introduces the dishes and drinks in the restaurant to himself, he is always willing to shorten himself by half a body, so they all greeted the honest man and said: "Dawen, come to a pot of your tavern's Wannian Chunbei, and then put a few small stir-fries, brother is happy today." ”

"Okay, Brother Zhang, Brother Li, wait a minute, I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you right away." The dimples at the corners of the mouth of the honest man laughed and looked particularly good, and if it weren't for the silver white on the hair on his head, it would be impossible to tell that this man was almost forty.

The younger guest grabbed the honest man's arm and said with a smile: "Dawen, come to have a drink with your brothers?"

"Brothers, spare me, there are so many things in the building, where is there time!"

"Don't shirk, in the past few years I've known you, as long as I come to drink, I won't take care of your business, as long as you sell the wine, which time is not the first time I taste?

The honest man with a smile on his face straightened up slightly, clasped his hands into fists, and said: "Thanks to the care of Brother Zhang and Brother Li over the years, I Yu Wen has been able to gain a firm foothold in this city, and I can give my wife and children a hot meal to eat, Yu Wen thank you again." ”

The drinker obviously didn't expect the honest man in front of him to be so solemn, and said with a smile: "Dawen, you don't see anything else, you just want you to have a drink with us, and tell the story you didn't finish a few days ago, why are you so polite." ”

Yu Wen clasped his fists and said: "I am about to leave the restaurant, thank you for taking care of me, Yu Wen is grateful..."

The people in this city seem to be extremely kind, and in the first year after coming here, Yu Wen fell in love with this small but prosperous town, just like the name of the county - Datong.

The sage of the Dong family is in this Datong County, and the beautiful vision is self-evident.

Datong County has the most famous college in the world, called [Datong Academy]. Throughout the county, it seems that everyone tends to live in peace and contentment like the world of the great harmony described in the book.

Yu Wen, who left the restaurant, walked very slowly all the way, and even the Datong tavern uniform she was wearing on her body never took off, and she left the tavern without asking for her salary, because she knew that she would not rely on his salary with the old shopkeeper's standards, and if she didn't take it tomorrow, she would definitely send it to his house in person, which was also one of the main reasons why Yu Wen bowed to the shopkeeper of this tavern.

On the way home, in the bustling crowd, there was a middle-aged man standing straight, he was tall, and his feet were walking very slowly, first went to a sauce meat shop to buy two catties of sauce beef, and then went to a wine shop not far away to play a pot of roast knife wine, the mouth of the roast knife wine is extremely spicy, and the price is cheap, it is not popular in this Datong County full of reading sounds, but Yu Wen likes the taste of this wine.

As soon as he pushed open the courtyard door, he heard a voice from the house: "Xiaotong, go and see if your father is back." ”

"Okay, mother," and then I heard a half-grown child running out of the room, and said, "It's Daddy, Daddy also brought sauce beef, which is my favorite food." ”

A woman soon walked out of the room, but there was a big cyan birthmark on the woman's face, in terms of facial features alone, this woman definitely looked like a symbol beauty, but the birthmark that covered half of her face really made people not interested in looking at her carefully.

The woman smiled softly: "Why did you come back so early today?"

Yu Wen didn't answer, just hugged the child who had just reached the base of his thigh, smiled and said, "Xiaotong, did you listen to your mother's words today?"

The little girl hugged the man's head and said with a smile: "Of course, my mother still praises me for being good, oh, by the way, Daddy, the little tiger next door has already gone to the school to read, when will I be able to go to the school like him?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, reached out and touched the little girl's head, and then said dotingly: "Then how about Daddy teach you to read and write?"

"Really? That Xiaotong must eat half a bowl of rice at night. The little girl was coquettish in her father's arms: "Daddy let me down, I want to eat the sauce beef you bought." ”

"Okay, my Xiaotong is the most well-behaved, wait for Daddy to go to the kitchen to cut it, and then we'll have dinner, okay?"

"Well," the little girl nodded heavily, "then Daddy should hurry, Xiaotong is hungry." ”

Yu Wen put down the little girl and said, "Go to your mother's place, Daddy will cut it and serve it to Xiaotong immediately." ”

"Hmm... Hmm," the little girl ran away.

After dinner, Yu Wen glanced at his daughter who had been playing for a day, and she had already fallen asleep when it was slightly dark.

The candle flame in the room was a little fluttering, a woman was lowering her head to make a pair of shoes, only a few stitches were about to be completed, and Yu Wen, who was sitting in the room, was quietly looking at the woman who was doing needlework, quietly waiting for something.

After a while, the woman walked up to the man with a pair of cloth shoes that had been made in a hurry, and said softly: "Try it quickly, see if it fits, do you like it or not?"

The man laughed and said, "As long as you make it fit, I like it all." ”

The woman squatted down and changed the man into the freshly made cloth shoes, and then looked at it by candlelight before she said with satisfaction: "Xianggong, you look good in everything, that robe must be ready tomorrow night, you..."

The woman wanted to say something, but the man grabbed her arm, and only heard a very soft voice: "Xiu'er, I will go to the city early tomorrow morning to do something, and I won't come back for dinner in the evening, so you and Xiaotong don't wait for me." ”

The woman didn't nod, he just said, "Do you have to go?" You just promised Xiaotong to teach her to read. ”

Yu Wen was silent for a while and said, "You go to sleep first." ”

"Brother Wen, can you come back this time?" asked the woman named Xiu'er again.

"I'll be back," then turned his head and said, "I won't be back." ”

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, the middle-aged man went out with a wooden box on his back, and a woman standing outside the door kept staring at the figure and disappeared from sight, and then returned to the room.

Yu Wen first went to the tavern to take a look, and then started to walk out of the city, in the early morning, the streets were already full of busy figures, and they cast curious eyes on the man walking on the street with a big wooden box on his back, and several tavern guests who had seen Yu Wen shouted to Yu Wen: "Dawen, where are you going so early?"

Yu Wen didn't answer, went out of the city, turned his head to look at the city where he had lived for many years, and walked forward again.

After walking for a long time, he saw hundreds of cavalry in front of him coming in the direction where he was.

Only then did he slowly take down the box he was carrying, open it, and take out a knife from it, a long knife with the word 'Badao' on the hilt.

The middle-aged man who put aside the scabbard held the 'Ba Dao', held it with one hand, then squatted down and gently patted away the new shoes that had been stained with a lot of dust along the way, and then stood up again, holding the 'Ba Dao' with both hands.

Chen Jingcang, who no longer practiced boxing, rode a horse all the way, thinking about rushing to Tai'anli as soon as possible.

Last night, even Su Qing'er abandoned the carriage and rode on a jujube red horse with Chen Jingcang, when Su Qing'er rode with Chen Jingcang for the first time, she didn't care about any etiquette, and was so frightened that she hugged the man who was riding a horse and galloping.

And Chen Jingcang, who had been holding back the evil fire in his stomach for a long time, felt the softness coming from his back, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but speed up again, taking the lead, extremely fast.

By the second time, when Chen Jingcang wanted to repeat the old trick, Su Qing'er saw through the trick in his heart, and when Chen Jingcang accelerated, his palms were against Chen Jingcang's back, even if he deliberately accelerated several times, they were cleverly resolved by Su Qing'er.

On the way to Datong County, it is generally an early morning march, and it stops in the evening to rest, although the team of 3,000 people slows down the journey, but as one of the most elite troops in Tai'an City, there is no one to complain.

At this time, it was only more than forty miles away from the county guard of Datong County, and Chen Jingcang's riding speed increased a few points, until he saw the man standing there in front of him, holding a long knife in both hands, and then he clamped the horse's belly, and the horse neighed, raised the horse's hooves high, and stopped the figure of rushing forward.

And the forbidden army behind him, who was also marching at a rapid pace, actually stopped quickly after Chen Jingcang called a stop, and there was no scattering at all.

I knew that Li Fengning shouted from the army: "Array! Meet the enemy!"

More than 100 people suddenly rushed out of the 3,000 people, and these more than 100 people were transformed into a small phalanx of 10 people, and the rest of the army formation behind them also began to disperse in an orderly manner, and the cavalry was 30 people in a column, spreading out a line.

The cavalry was in front, and the infantry was in the rear.

I saw that the man in front of him slowly raised the big knife in his hand, and pointed at Chen Jingcang, who was sitting on the horse, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly revealed two good-looking dimples.
