Chapter 217: Restaurant

When she completely walked around the rolling green hills and saw the stone monument standing in the bamboo forest on the side, she knew that they had arrived. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xiyue Town is even smaller and more delicate than expected.

Unlike the big cities of the past, the carriages leading to the towns were built on the outskirts of the city or in the outer cities, and they followed the carriages all the way into the streets from a small lane, and the hooves of the horses stepped on the bluestone slabs, tapping and tapping, and the sound was crisp.

Just through the curtain, you can feel the warmth and harmony of the town outside.

The women of the two houses opposite the house were standing at the door and talking about their daily routines with a smile, and the children were in groups of three or five, throwing sandbags on the road ahead. The laborers who brought the goods from the wharf, the vendors who walked the streets and alleys carrying the flat poles and selling steaming tofu brains, and the fat women who walked around with handkerchiefs and mostly swaying, all bypassed the children. There was no rebuke at all, but when he passed by, he smiled tolerantly.

On the other side of the street, a figure faintly appeared, and before the curtain was lifted, before I could see it, I saw the children who had been playing happily running over in a swarm.

It turned out that it was selling sugar gourds.

Liluo saw the children jumping up and down to the loving old man, chattering, his eyes had not taken off the red sugar gourd, and the originally calm eyebrows and eyes were bent without realizing it, and his face was soft.

"Do you like it here?" a voice said abruptly.

Liluo turned his head to look, only to find that Lu Fan, who was silently leaning on the wall of the carriage before, had sat up straight at the moment, and was asking in his usual rather lazy tone, but there was still a faint tiredness in his eyes.

She didn't point it out, but nodded along with the topic, "Here, it's quite simple. ”

"Well, that's right. Lu Fan rubbed his forehead with his palm, and his words were slightly nasal.

Liluo unconsciously shrugged his shoulders, turned back again, and continued to look at the scene in Xiyue Town.

In fact, perhaps it is because she has experienced too many things that she now feels more and more that the simple conditions similar to simplicity and enthusiasm can move her more.

Probably, that's how she can make so much, whether it's the vigilance she developed before, or the vigilance she is used to now, she can unconsciously let go because of this, so that she can relax.

Thinking of this, looking at the scene of children playing in the distance, Liluo couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

……

Getting off the carriage, the coachman who was in a hurry collected the money and chatted with the acquaintances in the post station in Xiyue Town.

The town is simple and remote, and apart from the occasional merchant from afar, the people here rarely see a new face.

The girl and boy, dressed in a decent plain robe, quickly attracted the attention of the people inside and outside the inn, and although she was not enthusiastically accosted, she could still hear the whispers that were not whispering.

"Let's go. Lu Fan didn't even look around, threw down a sentence with an indifferent face, and took the lead in facing the afternoon sun and walked out of the post station.

Opposite is a martial arts hall, and in the wide open space, there are many children of all ages standing in a row. The sun was hanging high above their heads, and the young ones couldn't hold on anymore, staggering around, looking around, taking advantage of the fact that the martial arts master and senior brother were not watching, it was difficult to continue to stand up as soon as they sat on the ground.

The slightly older ones, their foreheads were soaked with sweat, and they gritted their teeth but still tied their horses steadily.

Liluo smiled lowly, remembering the experience of learning martial arts when he was a child.

In addition to the little young master, who never missed the practice every day in the wind and rain, the teenagers led by her and Ruan Er decisively hid in a secluded side hall whenever the situation was inconvenient, and in winter, they roasted the discarded wood, withered leaves for warmth, and when they were lucky, they would put some sweet potatoes in the fire, which burned fragrantly.

It wasn't until later that the little master finally found the place where they were lazy, full of cold air emitted by their bodies, leaning against the wall on the side, squinting at them, they were inexplicably weak, and this ended the days of slacking off.

It's just different from these kids.

At that time, they had no elders to supervise them, only the desire to resist and protect themselves from the beginning, and the desire to escape later...... It was like a terrifying monster that could never be seen clearly, chasing them after them......

I didn't dare to stop, I could only run endlessly.

"Little junior sister, how long do you have to watch?" Lu Fan, who had been walking for most of the day, didn't hear the footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, there was a little helplessness between his eyebrows, "If I go down at this rate, I'm afraid the sunset will set, and I won't be able to go home." ”

Hearing this, Liluo smiled apologetically at him, and hurriedly trotted up, "Senior brother, this Xiyue Town doesn't look big, what's the matter, isn't your home here?"

"Not in town. He explained lightly.

For the family, living in such a remote place, the Lu family is also unique.

Liluo muttered in his heart.

No wonder, the people in this town looked at Lu Fan as strangely as they did to her.

……

After passing the stone arch bridge, the first thing that catches your eye is a two-story earthen restaurant. Business was light, and the proprietress sat at the counter at the door unconcernedly, basking in the sun and chatting with the maid.

"Yo, little girl, you're going to stay here. "One has a cold face, the other has a curious face, and it is clear at a glance who is better to be solicited for business.

"No, thank you. Liluo was taken aback by this sudden greeting, followed the prestige, looked at the proprietress who was leaning on her chin with her hand, and hurriedly waved her hand politely.

"The rooms upstairs are packed?" she asked with a smile as she continued to ask.

"Stop, stop, stop. Seeing the shallow curvature on the girl's face and the indelible restraint, the proprietress waved her hand heartily, and said to the person next to her with regret, "I thought I could finally welcome the first person to stay in the hotel this year." ”

Liluo touched his nose awkwardly, just looked up at Lu Fan's gaze, his expression was full, and he immediately accelerated his pace and did not delay again. And at this moment, the previous proprietress seemed to remember something, and shouted in her direction, "Little girl, do me a favor, tell my girl for me, tell her to stop playing, hurry up and come back to me!"

"Huh?" Liluo was stunned by this sudden commission, froze in place, and pointed at himself in disbelief for a long time, "Me?"

"Yes, little girl. The proprietress didn't feel the slightest bit wrong, "Then I'm sorry for you!" She was wearing a red jacket and two sheeptails, which were instantly recognizable. She continued cheerfully.

When I went out to put on my shoes today, I almost fell asleep, alas, I was physically and mentally exhausted, so everyone take care.
