Chapter 69: The Temporary Pattern

As I walked, my steps gradually fell behind, not that I couldn't keep up, my eyes were too busy!

Every corner, every street, is fresh in my eyes!

The two of them were like old acquaintances to them, and my reaction seemed a bit lackluster to them. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters - small?} Say? Net >

I followed them very familiarly, I didn't know where I was going, I just looked at the beauty around me.

After wandering around the capital city for half an hour, Ji Jiu was at the forefront, the eunuch followed, and I fell at the end to the mouth of a secluded alley.

It's just that I looked at Ji Jiu's back in confusion, what does this mean now, who is going to settle down in the capital city with us?

Then I thought of the time when they were talking at length on the shore, when I was only leisurely feeding fish in the bow of the boat.

The red carp was not only beautiful, but also seemed to understand human speech, and it stands to reason that the fish that grew up in the river were wild and untamable, and there were exceptions, and after two days of feeding, it could actually recognize my footsteps.

Whenever my footsteps approached, the fish swam merrily.

When I was released, I was really reluctant.

If you look at it this way, the one on the boat can live with you, and the fish can continue to be raised. His mind was a little empty, and the road in front of him suddenly turned around and reached a deep alley.

I really admire Ji Jiu, I haven't been to the capital for a few years, and I am so familiar with it like walking in my grandmother's house!

A small courtyard in the deep alley, you can see a large persimmon tree through the courtyard wall.

I have a gut feeling that I'm going around in circles, I'm afraid it's time now!

Sure enough, Ji Jiu stepped forward and knocked lightly. We waited quietly in place, dazzled on the road, and now I feel that my legs and feet are very sore, and I look forward to resting my feet.

A moment later. I heard the door creak open.

In the courtyard, an old man in a blue coarse cloth shirt came to open the door, with a white beard, a thin body, and a very old man.

He came half-hunched on his back, and when he saw the three people waiting outside the door, he froze in place. He looked at us roughly, and subconsciously focused his gaze on Ji Jiu's body.

For a moment, I saw various expressions flashing across his face, and when he spoke, his voice trembled slightly:

Ji Jiu stepped forward to help him. He smiled, "It's me." ”

The old man suddenly became very excited, he was a little at a loss, and he was about to kneel on the ground immediately, Ji Jiu hurriedly supported several people in his room who were talking, I don't want to or want to participate in their old conversations, and my mind is still recalling the interaction between Ji Jiu and the old gentleman at the door just now.

No matter how you look at the plot, it makes me think that it is the relationship between master and servant, and the old gentleman has great respect for him.

Don't. When Ji Jiu came out of the house, he also brought the servants around him? It's a bit unreasonable, because I think the old gentleman is the age. A few years ago, there may not have been a body that could follow Ji Jiuli to travel.

When Ji Jiu told me about the situation at that time, he never mentioned that there were other people around him.

Therefore, it is very likely that he met after he arrived in the capital of Sealand.

As for the relationship, about Ji Jiu is kind to him.

The human eye is the place where the lie cannot be hidden, and when I distinguish others, I often like to look into the eyes of the other person. Any slight change can't escape the sight.

As long as. If you look closely.

I looked under the persimmon tree and found a small bench. Then I sat down on my ass, my legs and feet relaxed, I stretched and leaned against the big persimmon tree behind me.

There was also a pile of vegetable leaves scattered next to it, which were swept together and gathered into a small pile, and you can guess that before we came, the owner of the house, the old gentleman, was picking vegetables.

I glanced at it silently, life is very hard!

The voices in the room were deliberately muffled.

There is another strange thing, I think it's a little incredible, since the shipman recognized Ji Jiu and found out his identity, Ji Jiu didn't seem to avoid him for anything.

I don't think those two people will build a relationship of mutual trust, they don't look like each other, it doesn't feel right!

I remember the laughter of the man when he was questioned about his identity, and it gave me goosebumps.

However, I recall what Yun Chu said, and sometimes, even enemies, can temporarily join forces.

The current situation is whether they have a common goal, or whether they have reached some kind of agreement on the fly, and perhaps the latter is more capable.

Sitting in the courtyard and not entering the house, I regret that I didn't say hello to Ji Jiu just now, even if I go out for a walk, it's better than being bored and staying here.

I'm new to the capital, but I'm interested in it, and I'd love to walk around the city.

The atmosphere in the city is also something I like.

After waiting for a long time, I felt that I was about to fall asleep, and the door of the room finally opened, and the three people who came out had different expressions.

Ji Jiu walked under the persimmon tree, smiled at the corner of my mouth and said, "For the time being, he lives with us, and my activities in the national capital still need his help." ”

I glanced at the ship's eunuch and nodded.

Ji Jiu then said in a soft tone: "Xiaolin, there are several houses here, you choose one to live in, and go out to buy some things later, at least for a while." ”

I still didn't speak, and nodded.

The old gentleman walked up from behind Ji Jiu, and only then did he look at me carefully, looking at it, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and in the next second, Ji Jiu didn't speak, he had already opened his mouth and shouted: "Childe, this person"

"My friend." Ji Jiu's voice sounded a little indifferent, and the old gentleman stopped asking, but just looked at my face frequently.

In addition to the surprise at the beginning, the eyes became a little complicated and indescribable.

Actually, I understand what he means, it's not that I have seen a young man who is a little similar to Ji Jiu a few years ago, he definitely doesn't know my next step. If you know, the expression on your face should be more colorful.

"I'll accompany you to buy it on the street," the boatman on the side suddenly spoke, and Ji Jiu intercepted him, "No." I'll be with her. ”

"Childe," the old gentleman's tone was apprehensive. "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I can enter the city gate safely, it's okay to walk around the street, go out with Xiaolin. It doesn't hurt either. "It's not the capital of a few years ago, and I'm not the same person I was a few years ago." "Childe, he looks like you and I am afraid that the guards patrolling the city will see it, or the spies on the street will see it"

I smiled, I was worried about this. I have a sallow black and thin face now, who is so interested in studying my appearance carefully, if I hadn't stood in this courtyard, even if that Uncle Liu met me on the street, to be honest, he wouldn't have looked at me a few more times.

If you want to imagine it, it is also to look carefully in the courtyard and know the identity of the previous situation and Ji Jiu.

I said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. It's a big deal that I'm going to smear my face a little more. ”

Hearing this, the old gentleman's face changed, and Ji Jiu looked at me very unhappily and said, "What nonsense." ”

Follow Ji Jiu to go out according to the road he had just walked. Uncle Liu stayed in the courtyard to prepare meals with the eunuch Xiao An.

I followed Ji Jiuyi in the alley, and I stopped him and said, "I really want to see what you were like in the Sealand Palace a few years ago?" "Uncle Liu was rescued by me a few years ago, when there were traitors in the court and colluded with foreign countries" Ji Jiu didn't answer my question, but told Uncle Liu's origin to the courtyard he had placed at the beginning.

I listened to it with a lot of emotion, but in the end, he said, "I can't think of it." I'm still back", and suddenly fell into a slump.

"Since it's reluctant, why are you coming back?"

"Come back. I have something to do, and I have promised to help you enter the palace. ”

"It's hard for you to take it so seriously. In fact, although I am new to the national capital, with my research energy, I believe that I can find a way in. ”

"That will take time, maybe a lot," Ji Jiu smiled slightly, "Help you, let you get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Why don't you ever ask me what I'm going to do in the palace, and you don't worry that I'll be bad for your old looks?"

Ji Jiu looked at me with the eyes of an idiot and said, "Although you are stupid, you are not stupid enough to be that kind of Cheng dΓΉ." ”

"I don't know what you're going to do, anyway, you want to go in and have a look, even if it's just to satisfy your curiosity, I can help you, just help."

In this way, we settled in a small courtyard, which was one of the many courtyards in the small alleys of the national capital, and it was inconspicuous.

The day I first arrived, I followed Ji Jiu to the street, and under his advice, I bought a bunch of things.

I forgot to mention that he suddenly had money again, which reminded me of my brother, who must have hidden a lot of money when he settled houses in various places.

Why do I always have rich people around me, making me even poorer!

I finished writing two pages in front of the window, and I couldn't help tearing it up, I couldn't find the address to send the letter, and even if I had more words, who could I say to them?

The chain of rope on the wrist, the hanging blade was gently scratched on the table.

I looked out the window and saw Uncle Liu, as usual, sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

My eyes lit up, I pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard and said to him, "Uncle Liu, is there a rich village nearby?" β€œ

Uncle Liu took the big broom, looked back at me, and immediately bowed his head and said: "Lin Gongzi, there is the largest money village in the national capital city that is not nearby but close to the horse market, if you need it, I will accompany you to have a look later." β€œ

Hey, no matter what you say, he refuses to change the respectful tone when he speaks, it's me who listens awkwardly, and I can't stand the old man who is so old and still uses honorifics to me.

Sighing silently, Ji Jiu pushed open the door to me and asked with a scrutinizing gaze, "Xiaolin, why don't you ask me if you are short of money?" β€œ

This rich and powerful words sound familiar, when have you ever heard it? "I'm going to take a look around Qianzhuang, isn't there a horse market?"

After speaking, my heart moved.
