Chapter 46: Interdependence I
They parted in the lively street, Wu Yan looked at the restaurant again, the night was darker, a group of children rushed into the alley from the street outside, saw the beautiful goldfish in the pool, excitedly raised their hands and cheered, competing to pay, and snatched the paper net and porcelain bowl from the middle-aged man's hand, one by one they were looking for a place to squat down to catch goldfish, Wu Yan avoided aside, but still could not avoid it, was hit by a man and a woman and two children, the other party didn't notice that he hit someone to say sorry, but also raised his eyes and glared at Wu Yan with a tiger face, as if he was annoyed that someone stood still and blocked their way, and waited for the position to be overpowered, they rolled up their sleeves and went to catch goldfish, and at the same time stumbled on the little friends around them.
Wu Yan stared at the children, not paying attention to when the stall owner was already standing beside him, this tall and chubby middle-aged man looked in the direction of the restaurant, the smile on his face was just right, neither alienated politeness, nor overly friendly intimacy: "What about waiting for someone?"
Seeing that Wu Yan's eyes were still on the group of children, looking like he didn't know that he was talking to her, the middle-aged man laughed dryly, didn't mind, and didn't force Wu Yan to pay attention to himself, and said to himself: "Last month's market, a girl came, young, but a little beauty, asked her if she wanted to catch goldfish, she shook her head, asked her if she wanted to buy potted flowers, she still shook her head, didn't say a word, standing behind this archway, like waiting for someone and hiding from people. It's late at night, there are fewer tourists, I also have to collect the stall and go home, she is willing to talk to people, a pair of eyes are watery, tears are rolling in the eyes, pitiful, just begging me to take her in for one night, saying that her family is poor, stepmother for her brother Zhu can marry a wife, to sell her to the green building, she does not follow, was hungry for five or six days, the whole person has no strength, have been pressed in the deed of sale according to the handprint, the result is best she still ran away, hid in the city for a few days, there is really no place to hide, met a kind young master, the two agreed, the family objected, the two agreed to elope, the girl came here to wait for her sweetheart。 As a result, I didn't wait for the young master, but waited for the thugs who came to look for her all over the street......"
He said a word, Wu Yan listened to a sentence, and finally he stopped halfway through speaking, glanced at Wu Yan out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Wu Yan looked normal, without the slightest interest, he had to withdraw his gaze, looked at the Liuxian Restaurant opposite, and continued to say to himself: "If you say that the store with the most customers in Jiankang City tonight is not a food shop, but a Liuxian Restaurant that does not sell wine or meat and specializes in rare treasures. Take a look, see that the restaurant owner specially took the more rare treasure upstairs to auction, more and more people, everyone thinks that there is a cheap to take advantage of, who really cares about the owner's mind, here with the baby to attract people's attention, there is a rare baby that has just been obtained safely into the building. ”
When Wu Yan heard this, he immediately raised his eyes to look at the restaurant, and there was a little more exploration in his eyes, and the middle-aged man saw it in his eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened a little, "The little girl is also interested in the baby, why don't you come to the door to take a look and feast your eyes?"
His gaze met Wu Yan at this time, and the smile on his face was faint, polite and polite, but Wu Yan found that this person had a kind expression on his face, but the smile in his eyes was not a little honest. So he still didn't answer, but just looked away from the restaurant.
"The girl's family is very curious, I see that the little girl frequently looks at the restaurant, not like she is curious about what treasures are in the restaurant, is it just from the restaurant......"
Sure enough, as long as he continues to stand here, this person will keep chatting with himself, and he has countless things to say, true or false, half-true or half-false, just to peek into the minds of others and test the motives of others, like spies who are spying on the news everywhere.
Wu Yan didn't dare to stay any longer, he didn't intend to listen to the stall owner's words, and when he raised his feet and wanted to leave, he heard a familiar voice behind him, with the clarity of a boy and the gentleness of an adult man.
- "You said you want me to take you to catch goldfish, but now that I'm late, are you going to be angry with me all night?"
