CHAPTER XXXIV

She walked to the group of men gathered by the window to eat tea, lifted the bamboo basket covered with a white cloth, and said shortly: "The officials are reasonable, the little woman has a good salted tofu marinade here, and a plate of three pennies is the best thing to use to make refreshments, do you want to taste it?" ”

"Don't, don't, it's expensive!"

A man waved his hand without raising his head.

The lean man sitting beside him looked at the woman, stretched out his hand to hold him down, and then winked at him.

The woman saw that no one cared about her, so she silently turned around and wanted to leave, so she didn't see the two people behind her exchanging glances, I saw it really upstairs, and I saw the thin man pointing to Zhang Li's back, and whispered to his companion: "This is the original match of the old Zhang Tou!" ”

His companion looked stunned, and then looked at the woman, and there was a little sympathy in his eyes, and at this moment, the woman walked through the lobby in the direction of the stairs on the second floor, and when she reached the steps, she subconsciously raised her head, revealing a familiar face.

It turned out to be the Zhang Li clan that he met on the boat when he came to Liuxian Town that day!

I also said that there are so many people named Zhang Li here, it turns out that it is the same person!

I don't know where Yunfu who was with her that day went?

I watched Zhang Li walk upstairs, and then knocked on the bamboo door of the tearoom one by one, and asked the people inside if they wanted refreshments. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few copper plates from his purse and asked me, "Do you want to buy two plates?" Looks weird and pitiful! ”

I hesitated, and pulled out half a piece of silver from my sleeve.

"So much?" Hongmian's eyes suddenly widened: "Are you going to do tofu marinade business?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I came to Liuxian Town with her in the same boat before, and we talked for a long time on the way. Ten years of cultivation can be regarded as fate! She was a clean and simple woman when she came that day, and in the blink of an eye, she was haggard like this, and it was really pitiful! I don't want any tofu stew, this silver, I should help her. ”

"No matter how much you donate, I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of Widow Xue." Hongmian threw a few copper plates into the air and then reached out to catch them: "I'm afraid you don't know, this tofu marinade is Widow Xue's business!" ”

"Huh?"

As he spoke, the door of our tearoom also "knocked".

I glanced at Hongmian and sat still for a while, and then I heard Feng Jiu say: "Since this woman is pitiful, I just help her to the end." ”

"What?"

I was stunned for a moment, and looked at Feng Jiu with the red cotton.

I saw Feng Jiu put away the needle and thread in his hand, lightly buckled the tabletop, and a soundproof enchantment opened in the tea room in an instant.

"Go open the door!"

Feng Jiu's red lips hooked, and he smiled at me: "Leave it all to me, just look at it." ”

Yes?

Oh!

I got up with a red face and opened the door and let Zhang Li in.

Zhang Li stood at the door with a basket, slightly hunched and glanced very quickly indoors, and then walked straight to Feng Jiu's side.

I don't know if it's because I'm standing behind the door, but her eyes didn't stop at me at all.

You don't think you recognize me!

I silently closed the door, saw Zhang Li holding the basket and asked Feng Jiu to look at the refreshments inside, and the red cotton sat on the side with his chin propped up, looking at me, and then at Zhang Li, with a look of interest.

But seeing that Feng Jiu waved his hand indifferently and asked Zhang Li to put away the basket, he coughed lightly and said, "I won't buy your tofu marinade, I just heard about you, so I feel curious." ”

Seeing Zhang Li's body tremble suddenly, she grabbed the basket in her hand tightly, and on the back of her rough hand, green tendons like earthworms jumped up.

"Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions." Feng Jiu's voice was slow and gentle: "Don't worry about me, the matter between your family and Widow Xue, the people of Liuxian Town already know about it, and even I, an idler passing by, have heard it more than once." ”
