Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a landlord in the town, who controls the lifeblood of the town, the mayor is just a name in this town, and the size of the town is decided by this landlord, Ye Feng and the two of them are outside the town, Ye Feng patted the rhubarb and let him move around, and the two walked into the town.
As soon as he entered, Ye Feng felt that this place was different, the Tang Kingdom was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, Ye Feng walked through many towns, the residents were all smiling, and the streets were very lively, but in this town, although everyone was not sad, but there was no smile, one by one, like a walking corpse.
Ye Feng said to Bai Liu, "This town seems to be a little different, you see these people, all of them have no spirit. ”
Bai Liu nodded and said, "Indeed, I don't know what the reason is, let's observe and observe first." ”
The two of them talked, and found a restaurant, the restaurant looked very old and simple, Ye Feng walked into the door, and there were three or four tables inside, all of which were very ordinary wooden tables and chairs, not painted, all old and gray, but very clean.
There were only two people sitting inside at this time, and they looked like passers-by, not residents of the town. The two of them picked a table and sat down, and the one-year-old child came over, and he was afraid that he was much younger than Ye Feng, who was still a child after taking the pill.
Although the children were young, they were not afraid of life, so they wiped the table in front of them with the worn rag on their shoulders very skillfully, and said, "What do the two guest officers eat? There is wine and meat in this shop, and the best thing to eat is the stewed pig's trotters that my father burned." ”
Ye Feng couldn't help laughing after hearing this, touched the child's head and said, "Little friend, you know how to help the family work at such a young age." ”
The child touched his nose and said, "I'm not young, I'm an adult, and you're not also a child, you can carry a sword to the rivers and lakes..."
Before the child could finish speaking, a woman hurriedly ran over, grabbed him by the ear, dragged him aside, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, the child is ignorant and talks nonsense." ”
Bai Liu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you're the proprietress here, right?"
"Yes, yes, what do you want to eat?"
"A few catties of good wine, stir-fry some side dishes, and by the way, come to the stewed pig's trotters recommended by a few children. ”
"Okay, okay, guest officer, wait a minute. When the woman saw that she had ordered so many dishes, she nodded her head and bowed, and then hurried away with the child, and began to count after a few steps.
Bai Liu looked at it, shook his head, and said to Ye Feng, "Life here seems to be very difficult, it stands to reason that a small town of this size should not be like this." ”
"Who knows, what could have happened. Ye Feng also shook his head.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion from outside, Ye Feng and the others turned their heads to see that a person dressed in a very different way from the residents of the town walked in, looking very angry, holding his head high, and shouting loudly, "Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai, come out!"
Bai Liu frowned, and after a while, a man in an apron walked out of the back kitchen, with a strong physique, and said with a cold expression, "Didn't we already pay taxes this month, what are we doing here?" ”
The man snorted coldly and said, "Just your little thing, our family can't look down on it, I'm here to spread the word today, my little master named you to play games, and I'll report at noon tomorrow, if you don't come, hum." ”
After saying that, the man turned his head angrily and walked out with his hands behind his back, and the man's face turned pale instantly, and the woman standing behind him sat down directly on the ground, crying profusely, and their child ran to his mother to comfort her.
Bai Liu stood up, walked to the man's side, and arched his hand, "Excuse me, excuse me, I don't know what the man said just now?"
The man hurriedly wiped a handful of tears, turned around respectfully, and arched his hand, "I'm sorry, let the guest officers laugh, it's just some housework, I'll go cook the dishes." ”
After saying that, the man was about to turn around and go into the back kitchen, but Bai Liu stretched out his hand to stop him, and the man slammed it, and Bai Liu said, "If you have anything to tell us, we will help you." ”
After hearing this, the man hurriedly bent down and thanked him, "Thank you Shaoxia for your kindness, but this matter is not something that ordinary people can solve, and Shaoxia doesn't have to ask for trouble." ”
Bai Liu wanted to say something more, but the man had already walked away quickly, Bai Liu had to turn around and sit back at the table, Ye Feng took a sip of wine, closed his eyes and groaned, and praised, "Good wine, enough taste!"
Bai Liu was helpless and said, "Brother Ye, why are you still in the mood to drink." ”
Ye Feng poured the remaining wine, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Brother Bai, there are too many unfair things in this world, you saw it today, take care of it, but there are many, many things you can't see, and you are not a savior, so ah, just be yourself." ”
Bai Liu shook his head and said, "I understand what Brother Ye said, although my strength is limited, as long as my eyes see it and my ears hear it, as long as I still have the ability, I have to take care of it." ”
"Well, when I didn't say it. Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, and poured another full bowl.
"They talked to him until noon, and I'll follow him tomorrow at noon, and I'll find out something. ”
"It's good if you're happy. ”
"Brother Ye isn't going?"
"I'm not going, it's been a long time since I've been lying in bed, and besides, in this town, there shouldn't be anything that can threaten Brother Bai, right?"
"That's what I said, then don't bother Brother Ye. ”
At this time, the woman came over with the cooked dishes, although her expression was much calmer, but her red eyes showed that her heart was not at peace, and the woman reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "The guest officer has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Mmmm, soon, soon, just right. ”
Although Bai Liu wanted to ask the reason, he still held back, Ye Feng raised the wine bowl and said, "Brother Bai, don't be in a daze, come, drink." ”
Bai Liu was startled, hurriedly picked up the wine bowl, and said, "Okay, drink." ”
The two talked and laughed for a long time, and then went back to their rooms to rest, although the room was simple, but it was very tidy, Bai Liu lay on the bed, but it was difficult to sleep, tossing and turning for a long time, and finally got up, opened the window, the bright moonlight shone through, Bai Liu turned out of the window, and went to the roof.
Looking around, in a group of simple houses, standing out from the crowd of large luxurious courtyards, brightly lit, and you can see many figures shaking, in sharp contrast with the quiet outside, Bai Liu stared for a long time, and finally meditated on the roof, waiting for the dawn.
