Chapter 184: Not the one you're looking for
On the square table near the window, Bai Yi looked at the opposite restaurant with a small smile in his eyes, hooked the corners of his lips, slowly shook the folding fan with one hand, held the cup elegantly with his slender fingers, drank a sip of wine shallowly, his lips were covered with thin wine stains, shining translucent in the sun, and a strand of long ink-colored hair scattered on his sideburns moved with the wind.

Jian Ping followed the master's gaze and saw Lin Bining and the others, remembered their previous party, and praised with a smile: "Master, this Lin Gongzi is really powerful, and he can see through the shopkeeper in a few clicks." ”
"Master, this Lin Gongzi" said this sentence Bai Yi's heart was comfortable, and he pushed the wine jug to the side and said, "Well said, you are allowed to drink a pot of wine." ”
The guards must be vigilant at all times, and they are not allowed to drink alcohol when they go out with Bai Yi, except for those authorized by the master, of course, Jian Ping hurriedly grinned when he heard this: "Thank you." Then he took a sip of the flask, and praised it, "It's the most expensive in the store, it's delicious." ”
Tao Yi is also a good drinker, he looked at Jian Ping greedily and drank a pot of wine in a few times, secretly wondering what was the difference between Jian Ping's words, he could actually get wine from his master, and then said a few words of praise to Baba, and he didn't see Bai Yi say anything, and secretly scolded Jian Ping for his good luck, so he stopped thinking.
Bai Yi stopped his wine glass and instructed Xu Cheng, who didn't know when he appeared in the private room: "Go and find out who Xu Ji is, what's the problem?" and the Weishun dart bureau to check it together. ”
"Yes, sir." Xu Cheng saw that Bai Yi had no other instructions, so he disappeared quietly.
"Master, what is the son of the Lin family doing when he is looking for a dart master?" Tao Yi asked out loud.
Bai Yi's fingertips rubbed the golden flowing cloud pattern on the fan bone, and he was silent.
This question is also what he wonders, why does Lin Bining want to dress up as a man, and what secrets does she hide?
**********
After tidying up the kitchen, Aunt Li carried a basket of vegetables to West Street to buy vegetables as usual, where the vegetables were cheap and fresh, and many stall owners who knew her greeted her one after another.
"Aunt Li, the shepherd's cabbage that I just picked in the morning is refreshing, do you want to have some? Making dumplings, making steamed buns, and mixing buckwheat fish are all delicious! A lady smiled as she held up the dish.
"Okay, then you can get me five handfuls, and I'll get them again when I come back." Aunt Li saw that the food was indeed fresh, so she nodded.
"Okay!" The eldest lady suddenly smiled, and tied five handfuls of vegetables with straw rope with her hands and feet, Aunt Li was really a big customer, and she asked for most of the dishes at once, and after a while, she would be able to collect the stall and go home to hug her grandson.
"Aunt Li, just some of the pork you just slaughtered, you can just make the stuffing of pork with shepherd's cabbage." The pork seller next to the eldest lady took the opportunity to shout.
This family's pork is mixed with water, and Aunt Li has always bought it in another house, so she smiled and refused: "No, I make cold salad for this dish, and I don't need pork." ”
Aunt Li bought winter melon, kidney beans and other vegetables again, and was looking through the vegetable basket to think about what vegetables to buy, when she was suddenly hit by someone, her legs bent and her knees hit the ground, and she fell to the ground when she saw the whole person, and a pair of hands held her steadily, and a clean and beautiful young voice sounded in her ears: "Auntie, are you okay?" ”
Aunt Li stood up with the other party's hand, a handsome young man, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you for this son, I'm fine." ”
Although the vegetable basket was still hanging in his hand, the vegetables inside rolled out, only to hear the young man open his mouth and shout: "Squire, help pick it up." Immediately a clever little man sprang out from behind, and with a sound he bent down and began to pick up things on the ground.
Aunt Li hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'll just come by myself." ”
It was Lin Bining who helped people, and she said with a smile: "Auntie's knees are on the ground, I'll take you to the hospital to have a look, it's important for older people to bump and touch, don't be careless." As she spoke, she reached out and took the vegetable basket from Aunt Li's hand and handed it to the sword.
Aunt Li felt a little pain in her knees, maybe the skin was broken, it was not a big injury, but seeing that the young man in front of her was so old-fashioned, it was not easy to refuse, so she said: "It's really troublesome, I'll take the basket myself, don't trouble this little brother." ”
"It's okay, my little guy has a lot of strength, and it doesn't take much effort to take this." Lin Bining glanced at the sword.
As the personal servant of the young master of the Lin family, Shi Jian only runs errands with books on weekdays, where have he carried any heavy objects, and when he heard the words of the eldest lady, he had to tear bitterly, and most of the winter melons were really heavy!
Who made him a competent little guy, he gritted his teeth and smiled: "Auntie, I, I can take it." ”
Fortunately, there is a medical hall next to it, Lin Bining helped Aunt Li into the room, and asked the doctor to help her with medicine, she retreated outside, and waited for the doctor to take good medicine before going in, and the doctor also had a pair of plasters, Aunt Li smiled and talked to her: "Thank you so much, I heard that your accent is not like Hualing's side, and the son is from a foreign country." ”
"Auntie is polite. You're right, I'm from above," Lin Bining sighed, her eyes covered with a layer of sorrow, "I came to Hualing to find someone, but I asked many people, but no one knew anyone." ”
"Oh? I don't know who the name of the person Gongzi is looking for, I have lived in Hualing since I was born, and I may have heard of this person. Aunt Li said with a smile.
"His name is Shen Chenghui, have you ever heard of it?" Lin Bining said softly.
When Aunt Li heard the name, a trace of sorrow quickly crossed her eyes, if she hadn't been looking at the other party, I am afraid she would not have noticed.
"What is the relationship between the person you are looking for and Childe?" Aunt Li asked quietly.
"It doesn't matter at the moment, it's just that I have something very important to ask him." Lin Bining looked into the other party's eyes, with a kind smile on the corner of her mouth, and said in a sincere tone.
The eyes of the young man in front of him were clear, like the melting mountain spring water in early spring, Aunt Li sighed helplessly, and said, "Childe knows that I am the cook of Weishun Dart Bureau." ”
She nodded and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, please Haihan for your helpless move." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Li still didn't understand anything, from the time she was bumped into by someone in front of her, the other people in the dart game would never mention Shen Chenghui, and the other party thought of coming to her, which showed that she was also a smart person.
Aunt Li was not angry, but said sadly: "Childe doesn't need to look for anyone anymore, Shen Chenghui died three years ago." In the future, don't mention this name again, so as not to cause disaster for your son. ”
"What!" Lin Bining exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Then he still has children?" ”
"He is alone, where are his children?" Aunt Li stared at her with unkind eyes, "If you really know him, how can you not even know this?" ”
The other party's hands hanging on both sides were ready to go, but he didn't expect that a cook in the dart bureau was also equipped with martial arts, Lin Bining smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, don't misunderstand, my parents and Shen Chenghui have not been in contact for more than ten years, and I don't know much about his situation." Now that he's gone, there's no need for me to look for him anymore. ”
Aunt Li seemed to be thinking about the truth of this statement, and only said after a while: "It's better to be like what you said." ”
Lin Bining got up and said with a smile: "What I just said is true. Auntie, rest assured, our master and servant are just passing by here, and they will leave in a few days, and they will never bother you again. ”
Aunt Li nodded, noncommittal.
She took out a silver ingot from her purse and put it on the table, and said, "This silver is to pay for the aunt's medical money, and please accept it." ”
After Aunt Li accepted it, Lin Bining returned to the inn with the sword.
Shen Chenghui is not the person she is looking for, she is a little disappointed in her heart, but she quickly cheers up again, there are four more behind, she believes that she can always find it.
