The stars at midnight were dim and gloomy, and the heavy smoke and dust in the city slowly fell like a curtain, quieting the hustle and bustle. The slightest coldness in the evening breeze expels the scorching heat and impetuousness of the end of summer, and also reflects the unknown loneliness. In addition to a few wild cats that had not returned on the rooftop, there was also a lonely figure, a star flickering up and down.

A long "whew" seemed to be the end of the scene, and at the end of the song, people scattered, only a faint nicotine drifting in the wind.

Feng has a very handsome nickname, "Dai Jun Chip" is copied by the brothers around him from a third-rate martial arts novel that I don't know, but it is really appropriate, Feng's signature smiling face seems to be the nemesis of all difficulties, but whenever this Dai Jun Cāo does big and small things, none of them have gone wrong. But this master is still a dripping master, in his mouth you never hear the words "no problem", usually a faint "I'll try", it is inevitable to make the owner uneasy, but as long as the person who has entrusted him to do things knows that "I try" is the golden sign of this representative monarch. After handling countless troubles from helping the neighbor's grandmother find the family's flower cat to shaking hands with the black-hearted mine owner as a middleman, the neighbor's market hawker Qingpi hooligan chengguan Jiao Jǐng invariably called him "Brother Feng", but in a different tone.

"Brother Feng, I just arrived at Jingbai pear, I left you two catties." Lao Luo, who sells fruits, is the first fruit stall on the way to the bookstore, Lao Luo knows that Feng is rare and has some seasonal fruits, and there are new fruits in the shop, so he always wants to leave a fresh one for Feng. Lao Luo and Feng's friendship is entirely because of Feng's words, earlier Lao Luo did not have this fruit shop, or a hawker who pushed a cart to buy fruits, but his legs and feet were not good, when the chengguan came, others ran fast, but his cart was surrounded by a big brimmed hat, so that the city manager still wanted to tow away his car, Lao Luo was anxious to cry, a disabled person with a five-year-old child, and a wife who was bedridden all the year round, the cart was his hope to make a living. Coincidentally, Feng passed by the side, and when he couldn't get used to it, he said, you towed his car, where can you buy such a good Jingbai pear. It's no wonder that when those city managers saw Feng, they didn't say a word and left the cart and left. This matter was later said by Lao Luo, and the neighbors thought that Feng was the prince of which family. Kaede smiled and didn't explain.

In fact, Feng just met the group of city managers who took the lead in picking grapes on the street a few days ago, and Feng clearly remembered that he said that the old father of the family liked rare fruits.

"Uncle Xie Laluo, I'll come back in the evening to get it." The roar of the motorcycle that was gone was faintly heard from the sound of Kaede's voice.

"Boss, two meat buns." Feng parked the car in front of an inconspicuous meat and steamed bun shop, although the store is not big but very big, the owner of this shop is the son-in-law of the heirloom of Xi'an cured meat and steamed bun Fan Ji, apparently the old man married the family heirloom along with his daughter.

"Brother Feng, you have to wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Bai Jibao is still one point away."

"Isn't that ready-made?" Kaede saw a stack of baked white bread in the foam box.

"Layman, our Fan Ji's authenticity has always paid attention to meat and other steamed buns, and must not wait for meat, those are ordered by the bank next to them, and they don't have that resistance." The boss had already handed over the paper bag, "This thing can't be packed in a plastic bag, it has to be a paper bag." ”

"Eun." After eating two bites, Kaede continued to ride forward.

Kaede's official occupation is the owner of a bookstore, and the store is not small, opening opposite the city's key high school. The name of the bookstore also has a bit of literary art, "cherish the word paper", other people's bookstores are afraid of bookworms who don't buy just by looking at them, Maple is an exception, Feng's store has rows of benches, simple and bright wrought iron bookshelves, Bandari's pure music, sitting or standing readers, and a delicate and beautiful cashier, Kaede's girlfriend Lyn. Others think that Feng is a child who reads books, and the benefits are difficult to guarantee, but this smile and convenience have retained countless repeat customers, and thousands of newspapers are sold every day, not to mention magazines and books. What's more, Kaede loves children.

Kaede threw the key into the drawer of the cash register and drank a large jar of water, which of course Lin had dried. "Slow down, slow down, and don't be afraid of choking." While eating breakfast, Lin half-jokingly said, "I said, boss, when can you get there even a minute earlier than me." ”

"I said Lin, when can you change your breakfast, I've seen you sour with cookies every day for more than a year. What am I doing when I'm early? Why did I come early with you? Kaede said lazily, sorting out the newly arrived books.

"I've changed it, it's a new brand this week, 喏, Sanyuan's sour nǎi and Oreo."

Kaede almost threw down a stack of Yilin.

"Sister Lin, it's early."

"Came to buy books so early, are you buying boys and girls?" Lynn jokes with the high school girls who come early in the morning.

"Where, people are here to buy mock questions."

"It's the third year of the promotion, so don't buy the small era this month."

"New to the little era? Sister Lynn will bring me a copy. ”

"Who said you came to buy the mock questions just now?"

"People relax once in a while."

Feng heard that it was a regular customer in the store who came to buy books, so he smoked a book and walked over, "Ruoxuan, those boys haven't pestered you recently." "Ruoxuan is a very beautiful girl, a few boys pestered her after school a while ago, and Feng happened to see it.

"No, Uncle Kaede, I'll give them the Good Guy Card, hehe."

Feng looked at Lin, and suddenly said without a head, "She is quite similar to you before, and you have given me a good person card before." ”

"At that time...... I now regret why I ended up taking the good guy card back again. ”

"It's late, there is no regret medicine in the world...... Also, why are you 'Sister Lin', and I am 'Uncle Feng', we were the same class back then. ”

The life of the bookstore owner Kaede is very good, accompanied by beautiful women, there is a group of half-grown children who shout "Uncle Kaede", drinking tea, reading books and playing with mobile phones, but Kaede is not only the owner of the bookstore, Kaede also has a majestic nickname, Dai Junchou.

As a representative of the king, Kaede will always meet strange people, such as an old man carrying a vegetable basket, a student in a school uniform, a well-dressed businessman, a jǐng cha in uniform, and even a big man with tattoos all over his body. But no matter who comes to Kaede, they will not go to the bookstore to meet Kaede directly, that is the rule of Kaede, "The only people who come to the bookstore are readers and customers." "If you want to find Feng to do something, you will send a message to Feng in a regular manner, and Feng will either meet with yourself or someone according to the priority of the matter.

But today someone violated the rules, and an uninvited customer came to the store.

Kaede has a pair of good eyes that recognize people, and it is these eyes that have made him famous. The visitor was wearing a light gray Nike tracksuit, a pair of hiking shoes, about fifty-four or five years old, with long parted hair, a slightly white face, and a cleanly shaved beard. Hands, wait, there is a problem with his hands, although at first glance it looks like a pair of pampered hands, but if you look closely, the joints are much thicker than ordinary people, and the green tendons on the wrists are bursting up, this manpower is definitely not small. The most important thing is that this person has been reading a book of ancient texts for half an hour since he entered the store, but he only turned five pages, and his eyes were aimed at Feng no less than ten times. Feng was a little uneasy in his heart, everyone who was looking for him to do things knew the rules, if he was looking for fault, but this outfit didn't look like it, and he came to observe himself? However, the two of them looked at each other just now, he should have been surprised, why are they still sitting here now? Kaede's heart turned a thousand thoughts, but the indifference and smile on his face had not changed, he took out the gum from his pocket, and pressed his right hand on the mobile phone twice to send out a programmed text message. Then he chewed gum and walked straight over.

"You've been sitting here for a long time, I'll pour you a cup of tea, the Qimen red that a friend gave me two days ago." Bring your own tea set, a small clay pot on the tea tray with eight small teacups. Kaede didn't say much, pushed an empty cup in front of the person, held the pot with both hands, dotted it twice, poured seven points full of water, and then sat aside. The eyes of the person faintly flashed dark, and he did not make a sound, and drank the tea in the cup, which has a name, the phoenix nodded to indicate the first acquaintance, and the water poured seven points should be a homonym "check", indicating that the other party was asked, three points of false and seven points of truth. Feng took four more teacups, arranged them like five or five plum blossoms, and filled them one by one. The person who came smiled, picked up a cup in the lower right corner, and after drinking it, he whispered: "The plum blossom is in the table, the five tiger generals are heroes, and the three surnames Taoyuan still have numbers, and they will meet Changshan Zhao Zilong." Feng was shocked, I thought it was just someone who came to find trouble, but who knew that the person who came actually knew the submarine language, and before he could speak, the other party spoke first. Dai Junchou really lives up to his reputation, why don't we change places to drink tea? ”

Since the other party made it clear that it would be too bad if he didn't do it next, he instructed Lin, "I'll go out for a while." "And he went out with the people." The tea house is not far away, let's go for a walk? "That's the best."

Feng thought about the intention of the person who came, since he knew the tea ceremony, he was definitely not an ordinary person, but the other party seemed to avoid suspicion, and walked forward to win his trust, although Feng was puzzled in his heart, he was not panicked, the text message he sent just now was to Liangzi, Liangzi and his own life's friendship, and more importantly, Liangzi was a retired special soldier.

There are not many people in the tea house. In addition to their own table, it was Ryoko who was drinking tea alone at the staircase, and there were two men in formal clothes at the table next to him, Kaede couldn't help but secretly laugh, although they tried their best to hide themselves, they still revealed their identities, and their eyes stayed on the mysterious man for too long. Moreover, he probably guessed who the mysterious stranger was.
