Holding the bag in my hand, I looked intently for a few moments, and when I looked at him again, my eyes changed. 【Book by】

Struggling to suppress the ups and downs, I asked in a deep voice, "Are you from Yizhou in the southwest?" “

He said with a look of astonishment on his face, "How do you know? ”

I raised the bag with dim sum in my hand: "What you gave me is a time-honored brand in Yizhou City, Fang Ji Tianbao Zhai on West Street, and the dim sum made by his family, am I not wrong?" ”

"There are no words on the snack bag." He muttered.

I rubbed my fingers on the paper bag a few times, and said, "Maybe people like you are not interested in caring about the bags of a dim sum shop, but I have lived in Yizhou City and have some connections with the Fang family, so you gave it to me just now, and I immediately recognized it." “

He thought for a while, and said expressionlessly for a moment: "There are so many people coming and going in Yizhou City, is it strange that I am from Yizhou City?" "Not surprisingly, I'm quite happy."

I looked at him and said with a slightly sinking gaze.

After a moment of silence, I looked up at him, the sun shining on his face, and I could see the scar from his eyebrows to his cheeks.

The other hand hanging by his side subconsciously clenched his fist, and I looked at him with clear eyes and said, "It's been a few days since I left Yizhou City, and I don't even know what happened over there, since you just came from there, why don't you tell me about some recent things in Yizhou." "You're from Yizhou?" There was no emotion in his voice, and a pair of eyes looked at my hand carrying the snack bag, and said this to me slowly.

I shook my head and said, "No, I'm in Yizhou, I can only be regarded as a passing traveler, and I went to do a few things I wanted to do, because the process is a bit complicated, so I lived in Yizhou for a while." "Listening to you say that, it's actually similar to me, I'm from most of the lake country. It was for the task I received that I rushed to Yizhou. “

With a slight movement of his gaze, he stared at me and said in a light tone. "Go with a bunch of brethren."

I hesitated for a moment. The words he had just said to me seemed to reveal some information, and I saw that he was in a good mood, and I was going to try to probe his tone again.

"Are there many of the brothers you are talking about?"

"It's not a little, but I can't say how much, it's all a secret."

"Well," he sighed, "can't say too much, you're too sincere when you ask me." It's easy for people to let go of their defenses and confide the truth to you. “

He paused, and said, "Actually, you can go and investigate the case, and it is estimated that it is easy to ask the truth from the prisoner's mouth." ”

"Then wouldn't I have another profession that I am not very proficient in, and people say that there is a specialization in the art industry. But I'm already a three-legged cat doctor, a three-legged cat cook, and I can't be busy if I add another one. ”

"What are you doing with just a snack bag, open it and eat it." He pointed to the pocket in my hand and said, "It's not easy for me to carry this snack all the way, how can you have the strength to walk if you don't eat enough." ”

I looked down and opened the bag, which was full of all kinds of snacks. I took a few snacks out of it.

"Assorted slices, rice sugar cakes, tired silk gold cakes," I counted while watching, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "In addition to the magnolia cakes that are inconvenient to preserve and easy to spoil, you are really thoughtful." Almost all the signboards of Tianbao Zhai! “

Picking up a piece of rice candy cake and putting it in my mouth, the sweet taste instantly reminded me of the scene when I followed Yun Chu to the street to buy, and when I thought of his smile, my movements stiffened a little. "Is the snack broken?" He saw me munching on a snack in a muffled voice and asked.

I shook my head. Swallowing the snack in his mouth, he said in a relaxed tone: "It's very sweet, it's delicious." "Hey, do you look like a delicious snack?" I looked like poison. "Fortunately, I haven't eaten a piece, so I know that most of these dim sum shops are famous, and if they really eat it, they may not be as good as what my mother made for me."

I glanced at him and said, "What did you buy it for?" "Take it, just in case." He was quick to respond and immediately took my words. "That's cheapening me." I lowered my eyes and looked at the snack in my hand. "yes, you're in luck." "It's a little too good." I saw a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of my eyes, and I said softly.

After eating snacks and resting enough in the bamboo forest, we continued on our way.

This time, there are obviously more topics.

I looked at the hill with no edge in sight and asked him, "I woke up from the mountain river and walked all the way, but it was not a very easy road." ”

"That's right, that's true, you're glad you're on the right track."

"It's crooked."

After a long journey, I continued the topic just now: "As you said, it's probably lucky, it's a bit too good." ”

"You're from the southwest, and I asked you before, is there anything new in the southwest recently?"

I asked him bluntly.

"When did you leave the Southwest?"

He looked at me casually and asked.

"I think about it, it's been some time," I couldn't help but stretch out my hand and break my fingers, "After the earthquake, I went to Yizhou, where I stayed, and when I left, the southwest changed hands, and the Lord of Syracuse had just gone to Yizhou for a conference. ”

"That's about the time."

He had a blank expression on his face: "Wasn't it not long, what's the matter with you, huh?" ”

I looked at him in confusion and said, "What's wrong?" "Miss, what you said happened not long ago, and you didn't leave the southwest for long, and you have to ask me about the current situation in the southwest, and you are not from the southwest, is what happened in the past few days a new thing?"

I stopped and looked at him suspiciously, but he ignored me, a smile appeared on his lips, and he hurried forward.

He walked far away, and I was still stunned.

Turning to look at me, he said loudly, "Didn't you tell me in the morning, try to find a place to live before it gets dark, and save yourself from having to find a place to live in the wilderness." "It's either a ruined temple or a mass grave, and I can't even drink hot water." "Is that still counting?" "Or do you think that's good now, eating and sleeping. I don't care, I'm used to living like this anyway. ”

I stood still for a long time before I quickened my pace to catch up with him.

"Do you have something on your mind?" He asked, looking sideways at me, observing the expression on my face. "If you have something on your mind, put it aside for the time being, as far as I know, there is still a long way to go where you want to stay."

"You'd better hurry up so we can get there."

"Got it." My low voice put aside the tangled things in my heart for a moment, as he said, try to hurry first.

There are either mountains or woods along the way, and the roads are rough and difficult in many places, so you need to take a detour. The footsteps were not delayed, but a lot of time was still consumed.

It wasn't until I turned the hill and saw a real "road" officially appear in front of me that I let go of my clenched fist and breathed a sigh of relief.

But that road is a fork in the road. Looks like it leads to a different place.

Naturally, I couldn't tell which direction I was going, and I needed to make a decision as much as I could, so I turned my inquiring eyes to him.

He lazily leaned against a tree on the side of the road and said, "You only remembered to come to see me now, I saw that you finished eating snacks, and the whole person was stupid, and I hurried all the way, without even saying a word." "Which way to Sealand?" I don't want to dwell on the same topic as before.

He pointed in the direction and said, "Over there." Just follow me. “

Before sunset, we finally arrived at a small village, and there was a small inn at the entrance of the village where a family could stay, which was the kind of small inn that is common in the countryside......

I could see clearly the flag waving in the wind at the door of the inn, and the word "wine" was drawn on it, and he and I were both eye-catching.

They all glanced at each other. He was surprised: "You seem to be happy? Or this? “

I nodded, and from the time I got the snack bag, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth for the first time: "I like it, but the wine is very poor, so I can't be greedy for a cup." ”

"What's the difference?"

"It's about outrageous Cheng dù."

He looked at me in horror and said, "Wait so far." Hey, I've decided not to drink with you. ”

"Actually, it's not that bad, but after getting drunk, I like to beat up my companions who drink together, and if my kung fu is better, I can still endure a beating."

He screamed, made a look of wanting to run away, ran a few steps, and stood proudly in the spot and said: "So the wine is good, you have eaten the dim sum until now, and you can only be considered alive when you see the word wine, and you will be restored to the appearance of the first time I saw you last night." ”

I glanced at the banner waving in the wind, and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”

As I got closer to the inn, I could see a donkey grinding under the big tree in front of the store.

Although I didn't see a single person, I was the only one who walked with him along the way, and now I am very happy to see the donkey, which means that I will soon see a living person.

"You say, what if a person is stupid?" My eyes swept over the banner of the inn again.

He frowned at me and said, "You're a doctor, it's easier to come up with a way, don't ask me." ”

Patting the dust off my body, I approached the wooden door of the inn.

The shopkeeper, who was over half a hundred years old, heard the voice and hurriedly went out to greet us, but the moment he saw us, the expression on his face froze.

Soon, his professional quality reminded him, and he immediately regained a smile on his face: "Do you two want to stay?" "Stay one night, have a meal, and give two jugs of wine by the way."

His face flushed as he saw that the wine in the glass was about to bottom, and at first he insisted on refusing to drink more, but when he saw that I was completely unguarded to drink, he gradually let go.

"You're from Yizhou City, you must know about the Snow City Lord's arrival."

"You know, it wasn't long ago that the real power in the southwest has been in his hands."

I picked up the flask and whispered: "He is more than enough to control the southwest region, but unfortunately sometimes he is not decisive enough. "It sounds familiar, I heard it a few days ago." "I'll go to the kitchen to look at the wine and food, and by the way, let the shopkeeper add a pot of wine."

He was a little drunk, nodded in a trance, I pushed open the door, walked into the courtyard, the night breeze blew cool on my face, I stood with my eyebrows, but my heart sank completely
