Chapter 371: Straight Wood Felling First

Xiao Ke and Dugu Weiwei just used a little casually, so they gathered together and whispered, letting them make trouble. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After drinking the duck soup, Du Yan still wanted to go to the Taishou Mansion to see, he was burned to the ground by him back then, and now he doesn't know what happened.

Xiang Dugu Weiwei said: "Uncle passed by here and rested in the Chengnan Hotel, at that time Uncle was only ten years old, Miss can go and see ......"

As he spoke, he pointed in a direction and said, "It's not far over there, but after all, it's been decades, and I don't know if the inn is still there." ”

Dugu Weiwei immediately became interested, and she wanted to see the places her father had been to when he was young.

At that moment, Amin and Li Jing were accompanied by Chu Jian and An Shi, who were with Yu Linwei, to escort Du Yan to the Taishou Mansion, and she and Xiao Ke took the rest of the people to the Chengnan Mansion.

The transportation location of the South City Hotel is very convenient, and it is very cheap for guests to live here, so after so many years, it is still there, but the name on the plaque has been changed to the South City Inn.

Dugu Weiwei and Xiao Ke entered the lobby, and the originally lively scene inside suddenly became silent.

The shopkeeper hurriedly came over to greet him personally: "May I ask if the guest officer is staying in the hotel or is he sharpened?"

Ajie said: "We don't live in the store and don't shoot, just come to you to have a look!"

His eyes widened and he said, "What?

"Okay, okay, the guest officer looks at it casually. The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed his head and said.

Dugu Weiwei and Xiao Ke really looked around, and they didn't sit on the chair that the shopkeeper moved.

In the silence of the hall, only Ajie's babbling voice remained: "Miss, this is the place where the master has been, what did the master do here......?"

Naturally, no one answered Ajie's words, time has changed, the place is still the same place, the furnishings and the people at that time have long been unrecognizable, and there is nothing to see. The two of them casually looked at it and went out, then returned to the inn the way they came.

*******

The summer day is early, and the sky is already very bright in the middle of the day. Everyone came out of the inn and hurried away while it was cold in the morning.

Amin rode alone and took some supplies to the front station.

Xiaopi County is not a rich place, but it is not a poor and remote country, but in Amin's eyes, it is still a rural town where you can't even find a decent inn.

She picked the largest inn in the county and offered double the price for the shopkeeper to clear out the other guests.

Rao is like this, and the room is barely enough.

instructed the shopkeeper to clean the inside and out with the whole family, and Amin replaced Dugu Weiwei and Xiao Ke's room with the bedding he brought.

When Du Yan entered Xiaopi, he sighed that his hometown had not changed much over the years, and he had seen more landscapes, and he felt more and more that the streets here were too cramped and the houses were too short.

Passing by the county office, the gates looked gray and not a little magnificent.

At this time, it was just noon, and the group packed up in the inn and rested for the time being.

Ajie and Amin went to the kitchen to watch the cooking, Ajie commanded on the side to clean the pots and pans first, and watched people cooking, and commanded a few words from time to time.

After resting until the next day, the weather was not so hot, so I left someone to watch things, and the rest of the people went out.

Stepping on the main street of the east-west direction of the county, the scene in front of him became strange in Du Yan's eyes.

Du Yan pointed to a well on the side of an alley and said with a smile: "This well is still the same, oh, and the old locust tree......

He suddenly pointed to a shop on the side and said in surprise, "It's still here!

Dugu Weiwei looked in the direction of his finger and found that it was a lamp and candle shop, and the paint on the plaque had already peeled off, and he couldn't see the original color clearly. The face of the door is old like a dying old man, and the wooden door frame is black and shiny, I don't know if it was originally the same color, or if the stains of the years have turned it black.

Du Yan said this, which means that this shop existed when he was young, and it was really long enough to be kept in troubled times, but it was really not easy.

Du Yan turned his head and said: "This shop was like this a few decades ago, the business was not very good, and it could still make a living, on the other hand, ......"

His tone paused, and he stretched out his hand again to point to the shop next door to the lamp shop, and the expression on his face didn't know whether it was sadness or emotion, and said: "On the other hand, the shop at home was prosperous at the beginning, and people came and went, but now I don't know how many hands have changed." ”

There is not much profit, and it can't attract anyone's threats and coveting, so it can last for a long time. The more prosperous the business is, the more greedy and covetous people will be.

For powerless businessmen, Taoguang is the way to survive.

Dugu Weiwei suddenly remembered a passage in Zhuangzi's "Nanhua Sutra", and said: "It is recorded in "Mountain Trees" that a bird called Yixian does not fly in front of or behind the flock when it flies, and never competes for the first place when eating, so it is not excluded from the flock of birds, so as to avoid disasters. Doesn't this little candle shop know the same wisdom of survival as this bird?"

Xiao Ke put one hand on her shoulder, glanced at the lamp shop indifferently, and said casually: "Straight wood is cut first, Ganjing is exhausted first, and people in the world are probably like this." ”

It's just a small shop, and it can't arouse the emotion of His Royal Highness King Ning.

After Xiao Ke finished speaking, he heard the sound of someone clapping behind him, and then heard someone praise: "Childe's words are incisive!"

They are a group of people with outstanding appearance, exquisite clothing, and extraordinary bearing, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of others. Along the way, there were already a lot of curious people behind him, the old ones were fine, they just stood and watched from a distance, and the younger children even followed the pace of everyone behind.

I've seen a lot of situations like this, and everyone doesn't care.

But the common people are watching from a distance, and those who catch up and talk to each other are often a bit of identity.

The man who spoke successfully attracted the attention of several people, and then stepped forward a few steps forward to salute.

Li Jing seemed to take a step inadvertently, just in the wrong place between him and Xiao Ke, which could not only block his progress, but also prevent him from speaking.

When this man saw this, he was very measured not to go too far ahead.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked like a gentleman, followed by an old man with a goatee, and four other men were far away, all with waist knives on their waists.

"The surname Zhuang is the county magistrate of this Xiaopi County...... and he compared the old man behind him and said: "This is Master Kong." Dare to ask what the son is called?" the middle-aged man introduced himself, and the old man bowed his head with him.

Dugu Weiwei smiled and said: "Just now when I talked about Zhuangzi, there happened to be a descendant of Zhuangzi, what a coincidence!"

Zhuang Xian Ling hurriedly smiled: "Don't dare, it's just a surname Zhuang in the next place, but you don't dare to cling to your ancestors." ”

The girl in front of her obviously heard that he was a local county order, but there was no respect in her expression and words, indicating that she didn't care about his little county order at all.
