Chapter 31
As the crowd walked aimlessly down the street, the initial feeling of unease soon passed. Baidu: real name + Beechcraft
As the locals followed, I began to look at the pedestrians around me through the veil of my hat.
Looking at the shops on the street, the attire of pedestrians is overwhelmed.
I found that almost all of the people who solicited customers in the store were women, and I felt strongly about the unique atmosphere of Sealand at this moment.
Gu Dart Master walked close to me, and the elbow hanging on his side would rub against the other party from time to time, and after a few times, I glanced at her apologetically, and retreated to the side.
Clinker turned a small bridge and entered a more lively street.
Compared with the street I walked before, the flow of people was even more noisy, Gu Dart Master seemed to be worried that I would be bumped into, and sometimes reached out and gently pulled me, her movements were gentle and careful, and I was twisted a little by her unprovoked pull and pull.
didn't go far, Ji Jiu, who was following behind us, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master Gu, there is a tea shop on the street, why don't you go in and sit down." ”
After a few moments, the three of us sat down in a private room on the second floor, which was in a great location to see the scene on several nearby streets, which happened to be at the fork in the road.
Gu Daoshi poured a cup of tea for me, and suddenly raised his head and asked, this sentence was aimed at Ji Jiu: "You two brothers are going to the capital of Sealand, do you have any relatives there?" “
I glanced at Ji Jiu out of the corner of my eye, my expression was leisurely, the time to test him had come!
See how he responds to Gu Dartmaster's questions, with him here, I don't need to consume brain cells to set words, how good.
Ji Jiu didn't know what kind of potion he had applied on his face, his complexion was much darker than when he was in Zhuyuan, coupled with his gray hair color, he looked like he was not old and decrepit, as if my "own brother" was sitting next to him, a little awkward.
Although the morphology looks very different. But the elegance of his gestures has not changed, and the movements of serving tea and drinking tea are pleasing to the eye, and at that moment I stared at his movements, recalling the past.
Maybe someone who came out of that place. All have such a special temperament, which has been cultivated by years of experience, and the so-called aristocracy is nothing more than this, and the clues can be seen from the subtleties the most.
That place must be extraordinary!
Ji Jiu groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "There are relatives there, our ancestors are from the Lake country, and some people in the family go to Sealand to do business, marry wives and have children in the national capital." Just stayed. “
A look of consternation flashed across Gu Dart's face and said, "You came to Sealand from the Lake Country?" "Yes, exactly." Ji Jiu replied calmly.
A subtle look flashed on Gu Dartmaster's face, she stopped talking, lowered her eyes, and drank two sips of tea in succession. It seems to be hiding this occasional outpouring of affection.
When she raised her head again, her face regained her previous calm expression: "It's rare." “
There was also three points of emotion in his tone, I exchanged glances with Ji Jiu, and he spoke first: "Gu Dartmaster's words are a little inexplicable, I heard that there are not one or two guests from all over the world who come to Zealand for business every year. "When the two of us passed through the checkpoint in the border town of Zealand, it took two days just to wait for the checkpoint to pass."
I snickered in my heart as I listened. Ji Jiu is really an acting school!
The two of us, when did he pass through the border town of Zealand, I was even more inexplicable, and I woke up in the West Courtyard in a daze, when did he pass the pass, how did he pass. I didn't know it.
Just by virtue of the few words I briefly mentioned when he asked me in the past, now he took them out to describe the experience, and it really sounds like that!
Gu Dart Master listened carefully, then shook his head and said, "It's not about business. It's just that Brother Tai mentioned that someone in the family married a wife and had children in Sealand to stay, which I think is a little strange. “
I still didn't understand the reason for her surprise, Gu Dart Shi looked at me sideways for a few seconds, his eyes focused: "Foreigners who can stay in Sealand to marry wives and have children are often orphans or men who are not treated well by their families. ”
A hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes.
"I see that your two brothers are well-educated, humble and polite, and they must be from a big family."
Gu Dart Master paused in his tone and said: "You have traveled thousands of miles to find your relatives, so the relationship between the other party and your family can be imagined, and it is definitely not the kind of situation I said." ”
"Such a person is willing to stay in the capital of Zealand, and he has married a wife and had children, so I have the previous feelings."
"I see," I realized at the moment, with a smile on my eyebrows, "Master Gu, everyone has their own ambitions, and one of our relatives loves a good girl from Zealand, and the two are happy, so they are naturally willing to stay." ”
I said with a bit of a joke: "It is said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, and the love pass is the saddest since ancient times." “
As soon as the words fell, Gu Dartmaster's eyes seemed to be glued to my body, her expression I had seen this morning, and at this moment, once again, my heart suddenly shook a little.
I looked at her in a daze for a few seconds, and soon looked away in embarrassment, it was a casual sentence, and her reaction was really beyond my expectations!
Ji Jiu coughed, picked up the teacup and said, "Come, replace wine with tea, brother, thank you Gu Dart Master for helping us out." ”
She hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and also picked up the cup and touched each other and smiled: "It's easy to say." ”
In the next tea chat, Gu Dart Master was always not in a state, she wandered too many times, so that my conversation with Ji Jiu was affected by her love and became intermittent, seeing that Yi Xing Shan, Ji Jiu opened his mouth first and said: "It's better to go back earlier." ”
Gu Dart Master sat still, raised his hand and pressed it lightly on my shoulder, and asked me in a low voice, "When are you going to leave?" ”
Ji Jiu's eyes moved, and landed on the hand she held on my shoulder, picked up the teacup again and took a sip of water, he smiled faintly: "I actually forgot the most important thing, we have been on the road for days, and the things on the carriage are not enough to support the capital of Zealand." ”
"You need to buy some in Hengcheng before you can get on the road."
Gu Dart Master frowned and said, "How can such a heavy job as carrying items be done by a man." “
I couldn't hold back my laughter, desperately holding back, once again subverting my cognition, when I arrived in Hengcheng, I really had to sit on the reputation of a weak man.
Gu Dart Master thought for a moment and stopped Ji Jiudao: "When you go out for a walk today, I'm afraid you're tired, so let's wait for me to arrange for the people below to buy, you just need to make a list." "How embarrassing is this, living in the courtyard of the dart bureau, we are already bothering you, and now you have to do it for us."
I hurriedly spoke out against it, I am still not used to owing others in my life, especially this kind of non-relatives, there is no way to pay it back. "You and me, is it necessary to be so polite?" Gu Dart Shi looked at me with a subtle look in her eyes, and after a while, she looked at herself with a look of regret, she bowed her head sullenly and said, "In short, it's a trivial matter, Xiaolin, you don't need to worry about it." "Ordinary people in Hengcheng don't let the men in the family show up to do physical work, let alone in the dart game, I"
I was afraid that she would use the topic of "weak men" to expand again, so I hurriedly echoed her and said: "Okay, just listen to you, you are the biggest, you are the master." “
Suddenly, she smiled like a flower, looked at me, and under her burning gaze, my heartbeat actually accelerated.
I pressed my chest and screamed in my heart, I am a woman!
Turning around the curtain of the private room, Ji Jiu coughed around the corner and said, "Brother, let's go." “
Time passed very quickly in the teahouse, the sun was already setting west, and the three of us walked in a row on the street.
The breeze is coming, it is the autumn evening of Sealand, and the golden sunlight shines on the faces of the people around him, plating a light and soft luster.
The two of them never said anything, I just walked in silence, I was really not used to it, after thinking about it, I casually praised and said: "Master Gu, that day on the mountain road, our carriage fell into the quagmire, when I saw you come to help, I really admired." "Admire what?" "It's been a long time since I've seen such a superb ride."
She glanced at me quickly, blushing lightly and said, "It's okay." “
Ji Jiu was beside us, and he began to cough loudly again in the autumn wind, interrupting the topic we were about to continue. "Brother Tai is sick, it's better to find a doctor to take a look at it for you after returning to the dart game." Gu Dartmaster's attention turned to Ji Jiu and kindly reminded him. "No, no, I'm an old problem." Ji Jiu's eyebrows furrowed, and his tone was a little stiff.
Taking advantage of her bowing her head, Ji Jiu winked at me and made a silent gesture
Back to the dart game, because of Ji Jiu's insistent opposition, Gu Dart Master still failed to invite Dr. Cheng to treat him for his illness.
It's easy to wait until it gets dark, and my stomach has already been filled with most of the snacks and tea in the teahouse, Ji Jiu and I don't have a good appetite, we usually eat very little, and now we live in other people's homes, and we are also worried about our own food.
After eating, Ji Jiu picked up a pen in her study and made a list of things that needed to be purchased.
There are not too many types, and the coefficients add up to about half a carriage of stuff.
Gu Dart Master glanced at the options listed on the list, and called the two subordinates to explain in a cheerful voice, and soon, the two maids were ordered to go out. "While the store hasn't closed yet, hurry up and let them buy it all."
Approaching the courtyard where we lived, Ji Jiu suddenly flashed behind me, and then squatted down.
His movements looked like he was picking up something that had fallen, but I was shocked by the glimpse of his nimble movements.
When he got up again, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then knocked on the door of my head with a twig. "What are you doing?" "Did you not see me or did you do it on purpose? I've reminded you a few times, why don't you listen to persuasion if you don't talk much? “
I grinned and said, "In a place like a teahouse, it's not good to be a gourd all the time." “
After Ji Jiu was silent, his face was solemn: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, that Gu Dart Master is too weird!" “
(ps: I stayed at home for three days, and I have to get up early tomorrow, my sister's mood is so heavy)
