The eldest lady said while crying: "The proprietress took the chef and the sisters of the dance and singing class to leave separately from us, and the proprietress said that she had her plans and couldn't tell us, and we couldn't ask." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The proprietress also said that in case something happens to her, let us come back, we are all the shopkeepers of this inn, let us continue to operate ourselves, and the next time there is a large army crossing, we still have to escape in time, don't worry about them anymore. ”

As she spoke, the two eldest ladies cried into tears again, and the young man and the bookkeeper also sighed and were sad.

A table of people was sad, when they suddenly heard another shout from outside the inn door.

"Hey, is there anybody?

Feng Yiluan's heart tightened when he heard this tone and tone.

She thought to herself that it must be because the eight sweepers were missing, so more sweepers were dispatched to track them down.

Mr. Zheng, the account room, hurriedly took Xiao Er and Xiao Wu out to welcome him, Feng Yiluan did not move, sat and continued to eat, only pricking up his ears and listening carefully.

Ji Li told her yesterday that if you encounter a sweeper again, you must not act rashly, and it is best to pretend to be confused. So she didn't move.

I only listened to a few words from Mr. Bookkeeper and the officials outside the door, and then welcomed them into the inn respectfully and politely.

So sixteen people came in at once, and these people looked around the lobby of the inn, and when they saw that there was only one table of men seated, and no one else, they raised their voices and asked, "Listen, have you all seen a wounded white-faced young man?" or have you seen eight brothers wearing the same official uniform as us?"

The bookkeeper and Xiao Er smiled with a smile on their faces, nodded and replied: "Back to the official master's words, I haven't seen it, you see that this town is not just over the army of the Fierce Country, we have been hiding out for the past few days, and we just came back this morning, and we just rested to cook food, so I really haven't seen anyone." ”

The sweeping envoy squinted at the bookkeeper and looked at everyone in the inn again.

Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly said: "This official, all the brothers are also hungry, it is not easy for you to be on an errand, you have come from afar, we have not been able to welcome you from afar, please forgive me for not greeting well, please sit down casually first, see what you all want to eat, we will prepare vegetables to ......"

The young man greeted him so attentively, and the faces of the sixteen sweeping envoys suddenly softened, and they no longer pressed the white-faced man about it, and they all picked up seats and sat down, waiting for the food to be served.

So everyone in the inn was busy, and Feng Yiluan also silently followed the eldest lady to the kitchen to help cut vegetables and light the fire. Then plates of prepared dishes were sent to those people's tables like running water.

The sixteen were happy to eat, and they did not embarrass anyone in the inn any more, and said with certainty that the men in this inn must be ordinary and good citizens, and would never have anything to do with the person they were looking for......

Finally, the sixteen sweepers were dispatched, and Feng Yiluan and the eldest lady sat together again, continuing to eat the unfinished meal before, picking up the words halfway through and continuing to speak, inevitably feeling sad again.

In the afternoon, the young man and the eldest lady began to clean up and down the inn separately, ready to continue to open and do business.

In the next two days, many people returned to Huanshui Town one after another to start repairing and cleaning their houses, and as more and more people returned, businesses on the streets reopened, and the town basically returned to its former scene.

Feng Yiluan can't help but think of the man named Ji Li every day, intentionally or unintentionally, and he doesn't know if he will be hunted down by those sweepers again, and he doesn't know if he can go all the way back to the "mountain" where he lives.

I forgot to ask where he lived.

Another day, at breakfast, Feng Yiluan told everyone in the inn that she planned to leave here.

The eldest lady first said: "Leave, where are you going alone?"

Feng Yiluan said: "I don't know, go find my master, or, you can meet the boss lady, if you can really meet, I will tell them, you are all worried about them." ”

Several guys persuaded her for a long time with the eldest lady and the bookkeeper and the second cook, but they couldn't persuade her, so she could only decide to stay by herself.

After all, Feng Yiluan is not an official guy in the inn, and her identity is a little special.

After making up her mind, Feng Yiluan went back to the room to pack up her things, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, only a very delicate and beautiful carved wooden flute, which was given by the proprietress Wu Yinji three months ago, she decided to take this wooden flute with her, which was regarded as a memory.

Then, carrying a carved wood tulle lamp, she returned to the house where she and her master used to live, and some neighbors had already helped clean up, but the broken gate had not yet had time to be repaired.

She closed the door, walked into Master's studio, lit the lamp in her hand, pushed open the dark wall leading to the secret room, and went down the steps to the door of the secret room.

Over the years, Master had confessed a few words to her, and had repeated them the night before he was captured by the Fenglou soldiers, so she remembered them all very clearly:

"Don't worry whether the teacher is captured, or asked to leave, or in some other way out of the town and disappears from you. ”

"Because, over the years, what I have been waiting for is the people of Fenglou Kingdom. If they come, they will ask me to paint the frescoes for the king. ”

"Don't worry, I still have a long time to live, and I won't die until I finish painting. After the painting is completed, if the great revenge is avenged, then I will still live well. ”

"Can we meet again? It's still gone, I've raised you for more than ten years, so I should think that I have done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and you will walk by yourself in the future. ”

"When you're about the height of an adult, if you want to leave the town, go on your own and travel around. You have so much strength, and Master is not afraid that you will be bullied by bad people. ”

"When you decide to leave the town, you can open the door to the underground chamber and see what's inside. There's a painting on the table, you open it and look at it, and then you can decide if you want to take it with you or not. All this is up to you, don't be swayed by others. ”

……

Feng Yiluan opened the door to the underground chamber.

The secret room was very different from what she had imagined.

In the secret room, the four walls are flat, and there are only half a room of discarded drawing paper, and Feng Yiluan pulls up a few sheets to see, all of which are portrait paintings.

Hey, it turns out that Master often hides in this secret room in the middle of the night to practice painting, no wonder she often doesn't get up in the morning, sleeps at home, and lets her go to the steamed bun shop to buy steamed buns by herself.

Strangely, the faces of these portraits have all been painted with ink pens, so that the faces and heads of each portrait are all a large black ink stain.

She didn't understand why Master wanted to erase these paintings, could it be that they were all erased because the paintings were broken? Moreover, most of the paintings that Master took out and sold on weekdays were landscape drawings, and there were almost no portraits, so was it because Master had never been able to draw portraits well, so he secretly practiced painting in this secret room?

Thinking of this, Feng Yiluan laughed, feeling that the master was ...... It's a lot of fun.
