- When he was listening to the complaints of the subordinates who were holding the bowl outside, he also heard something about what happened between Lin Shan and Chen Jiu in the kitchen room.

Seeing Jiang Chao consciously retreating, Lin Shan smiled secretly in his heart, let him go, and then turned his eyes to look at Chen Jiu and said: "I just received the letter, there is a batch of military materials in Beidaying that can be accepted, and I will go over tomorrow." Originally, I was going to dye it a few days late, but it was really inappropriate for me to go to Beidaying like this, so I have to work hard for you tonight, and I will be busy overnight. ”

Before Lin Shan's burn injury was completely healed, he had already developed a gray hair increase due to long-term overdose, which was the result of his attending pharmacist Liao Shi who had long anticipated it, so he had already made remedial preparations.

This preparation is not a therapeutic measure established from within, but an outward retouching, a very strange practice - dyeing hair.

Of course, the hair dye pigment formulated by Liao Shi is not the same as ink, and this pigment does not have the slightest unusual smell except for the color of ink. When using, first use the paste pigment to rub and dye the wet hair for an hour, and then use another potion to wet it, and pause for another hour, after which the color of the pigment will stay on the hair more firmly and will not fade due to water and rain.

Modifying the abnormalities in hair color was Lin Shan's request three years ago after listening to Liao Shi's pre-filing for treatment. If he let his old unit know that he had suffered such a severe physical debacle because of serious injuries, it would probably affect the morale of all units of the army to cooperate with the action.

Liao Shi is also a real genius in the pharmaceutical industry, he was able to learn from the method of applying gouache to cover up imperfections, and finally came up with such a strategy, and he really formulated this pigment.

Although this slightly oily pigment cannot replace the writing ability of ink, if it is impregnated in hair, it is definitely dozens of times stronger than the color-fixing ability of ink. When the first bottle of hair dye pigment made zuò came out. Lin Shan took the tail of a white horse to make a real yàn, so the white horse wagged the strange black tail for half a year, and the color gradually faded.

Calculate the time. This is the third time that Chen Jiu has helped Lin Shan dye his hair.

Although the black pigment on his hair had not completely faded, he carefully parted his hair with a comb when he was old. You can clearly see that the inch of frost and snow that has newly grown at the root of his hair is several times longer than when she dyed his hair for the first time.

"There's more gray hair." Chen Jiu sighed worriedly, "Those hair nourishing foods built by the old pharmacist don't seem to have any effect. ”

"Hmm...... The day when everyone had gray hair, I was just one step ahead. Lin Shan said lightly, as if he didn't care much about these appearances. But he paused for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "If my hair is all white, and my face is wrinkled." Will you dislike it? ”

Chen Jiu's hand holding the comb froze slightly, although the answer in her heart was already coming out, she didn't answer immediately verbally. After a short silence, she asked, "Then will you hate me?" How short a woman's youth is, I am almost thirty-one years old this year, and women of my age can have children to be married. I don't need to be tortured by illness, I'm actually old, and in another year or two, maybe even the ability to have children will be lost. ”

"Don't be so negative." Lin Shan's expression moved. Slowly, he said: "I remember that when Ye Ziqing ran away from home in the past, one of the most common reasons on his lips was not to spend all his time on things like getting married and having children at a young age. Then we talked. She had come from somewhere to believe that a woman could still have children safely until she was thirty-five years old, and that even a woman of forty could do so if she was well maintained. It's just that if you really want to delay until the age of forty, it is indeed a little late, and it will hurt the mother quite a lot. ”

There are many changes in the forest cedar today.

It was the first time for Chen Jiu to hear him talk about Ye Ziqing so calmly in front of her, and obviously had the intention of using Ye Ziqing's words to persuade her. These words were so novel that she couldn't help but look surprised. "Is this true?" ”

"Yes." Lin Shan nodded lightly, and said slowly: "You know about the Yan family. Yan Guang's wife first had two sons, but they both died of young children because of a strange family disease, but fortunately, Mrs. Yan gave birth to a third son at the age of thirty-three, and also avoided the re-infringement of that strange disease, the third son of the Yan family is Yan Xingzhi's father. Not only can we use this incident as an example to prove that what Ye Ziqing said was not a casual reason, but we later met Liao Shi near Dongchu Mountain, and we also verified this matter from him. Ye Ziqing obviously doesn't know how to heal, but she seems to have a relationship with the old pharmacist, and many of her views and opinions have been agreed by the old pharmacist, both of whom are weirdos. ”

Chen Jiu couldn't help but sigh for a while.

Chen Jiu's impression of Ye Ziqing was limited to the few sides that appeared in the building after she bought Dongfeng Building. For the experience of this legendary woman traveling to the famous mountains and rivers with Lin Shan and Wang Chi before returning to Kyoto, Chen Jiu can only imagine that Lin Shan is willing to recount and relate to her part of the content.

But even if the information is so limited, at this time, Chen Jiu has added another admiration to the woman who has gone away.

And when he thought of it, no wonder Lin Shan was so devoted to her, no matter how hard he worked, it seemed that the distance between him and her was still so far away, and Chen Jiu felt a faint sour feeling in his heart.

The whole process of dyeing his hair took about two hours, so Lin Shan picked up a book and flipped through it, and when he noticed that the woman who was combing his hair had not moved for a long time, he put down the book and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Chen Jiu came back to his senses when he heard the sound, and hurriedly quickened the movements in his hands. The hour is not early, if he is so distracted and delayed, the time that Lin Shan can rest tonight will be reduced again.

Thinking that he was going to Beidaying tomorrow, a total of nearly 100 miles back and forth, and it was a hard work, she felt guilty for her smuggling just now, and of course she was as perfunctory as possible about what she thought.

"Nothing, just the first time I've heard of it...... Some find it novel. Chen Jiu whispered softly, and when she evenly applied a ball of creamy ink paint to Lin Shan's hair, she said softly: "Don't read a book, sit on the chaise longue, and I'll give you a head press." Two hours is a long time, so you should take a nap first. Tomorrow there are important things to deal with, and it will take a lot of energy. ”

Lin Shan did as he was told, feeling the gentle finger strength of the aged wine. Properly rubbed a few points on his head to calm his mind, and his relaxed spirit gradually became alienated. It didn't take long for his shoulders to sink slightly, and he fell asleep with his head on the side of the chair.

————

After that day, Chen Jiu left Lin Shan's residence and returned to her rented house in this northland town, where she rested and recuperated for a few days. In fact, her body was not injured in the slightest bit, and most of what happened that day was just an illusion, just because it happened suddenly. Although the truth was revealed afterwards, it still caused some impact damage to her mood.

In the past few days of staying in his own house, the old wine has not even taken care of the winery, and the wine storage is almost sold out. On the fourth day, a guy from the winery couldn't help but come to Chenjiu's private house to ask for instructions, and the reply he got surprised the guy that he was going to close the shop for a few more days, and he didn't give a clear date for the reopening.

It takes a cycle to make wine, but in the past few days, because Lin Shan's side has been a small matter, the winery has been negligent in managing the aging wine. The fixed cycle is interrupted, and the limited reserves of the small winery make it inevitable that the stock will be sold out.

If you are a restaurant that concentrates on business. In the face of the common problem that small workshops are prone to disconnection in the industrial chain, it is possible to use this as the basis for the best-selling liquor, either to expand the industrial area, increase production and supply demand, or to raise the value of the product, and there is no problem in both ways to deal with the problem. Rare is expensive, and the Chen family's wine can't make that taste, and this wine has been sold in the town for nearly a year, and it has a good reputation. A slight increase in the price will lead to a reduction in sales, but it will not hide a big contradiction.

However, the aged wine did not do this.

She didn't really want to settle in this small town in the Northland. The winery has been in operation for almost a year, and the title deed is still leased. I didn't buy it. Regarding the Chen family's secret recipe for winemaking, she has never taught the guys in the winery, so the winery will be closed so quickly without her care.

She told Lin Shan that she didn't want to go back to Kyoto, to be precise, she actually saw that Lin Shan would not go back. She was just determined to follow him, knowing that she would definitely not be able to follow Xichuan, so she had to stay in this small town in the Northland, and maybe there would be a chance to see him back again.

But a few days ago, while persuading her to return to Kyoto, Lin Shan vaguely told her that he would probably not come back even here, and her mood suddenly collapsed. In the past, if she had any worries, she could get rid of them in the busy atmosphere of the wine shop.

The old pharmacist has a saying that she agrees with very much: some people's heart diseases are idle. Let this kind of person who sighs every day and sighs every day go out to bask in the sun, or run, and then go down to the field to rake the ground for a day, come back tired and urinated, take a hot bath and sleep well, and the depression and melancholy in my heart will naturally be gone.

However, this kind of "treatment" method is generally effective for pseudo-sorrow that disturbs oneself for no reason, and if a person really implements his sorrow, it cannot be cured by this method.

To untie the bell, the bell must be tied to the bell, but the person who tied a rope to Chen Jiu's heart, maybe he didn't know it, maybe he knew, but he thought that he told her that she wouldn't come back, which was the best way to untie it. Unexpectedly, for Chen Jiu, he was not loosening, but tightening again.

Seeing that the guy had gone out and walked away, Chen Jiuzheng's thoughts and troubles were temporarily interrupted, and he no longer continued to sit in the house, but walked to the courtyard where the two houses were side by side.

The people of this northland town are simple, but even for the size of the town's residents, most of the houses in the town are low and dilapidated. In order to take into account the safety issue, Chen Jiu originally wanted to rent a house with a courtyard, but he couldn't find a house with such conditions in this town, so he finally rented half of the courtyard of an inn.

Of course, Lin Shan's residence can accept her unconditionally, but after taking care of Lin Shan day and night for almost two years, and seeing that he has almost recovered, she suddenly made this request to live separately. Lin Shan saw that she had lost weight and was very emaciated after two years of hard work, and he was afraid that she would be left to worry about fatigue again, so not only did he not stop her, but also gave her great support, and the other people in the residence naturally didn't have to say anything.

Of course, she also knew that this was Lin Shan's good intentions to worry about her, but at first she only returned here to rest for a month or two, and then opened a small winery in the town, and then often went back and forth between the winery and Lin Shan's residence, but rarely returned to this private residence in the town inn.

I didn't expect that a year later, I would use this reason. Come back here for a long stay.

Maybe after Lin Shan leaves the Northland in a few days, he won't have to go to that residence at all, and he will really have to live in this private house rented in a small town inn all the time.

Stand under a blooming tree in the middle of the courtyard. Chen Jiu tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the tip of a branch. There's a budding bell flower there. Compared with the full bloom of the tree, the color of the buds is lighter and not so showy, but it is also because of this that it is particularly tender and moving.

No matter what kind of flowers, soon after blooming, they will wither and decay, fall into the mud and be trampled on, which is sometimes in a certain state of mind, and people will pity and joy the beauty of the bud to be bloomed.

Someone will cut off the flower branches. Bring it back to the greenhouse and insert it in a delicate porcelain vase, moistened with a wet mist and carefully pruned to prolong the flowering period; There are also people, such as Lin Shan, many years ago, who always like to drink some apricot blossom wine every day, and the floral aroma is combined in the mellow aroma of the wine, which seems to be preserved for a longer time in another way...... But there are so many flowers in the world, not every bouquet can meet flower cherishers, and most of them still fall into the quagmire after the failure.

Although he rested for a few days, he did nothing and saw no one. But Chen Jiu's mood was even more depressed, looking at this spring scene that can make people imagine beautifully, her heart was a scene of flowers in the cold autumn wind.

"Suzuka thanks. Chunhong is in a hurry. ”

She stared blankly at the flower bud, so distracted that a young man who looked like a scholar also walked under the flower tree. It wasn't until he chanted softly that she came back to her senses, was slightly surprised, and subconsciously took half a step back.

The young man's facial features are relatively ordinary, not handsome, and his face is a little pale, and he seems to be slightly disturbed. But. When he is looking at things or people, his gaze is steady. is not impartial, and the look in his eyes is also peaceful. It is to read more sages and scriptures, and there is a beautiful wisdom in it, and it is polite and kind to others. He was dressed in a plain cloth shirt, his hair was not crowned, and he was meticulously tied with a cloth belt of ordinary texture, and he also stepped on a pair of mille-feuille cloth shoes under his feet.

In this remote town, even if the residents of the town are simple, after all, this is close to the border fortress, and the neighbor is Beiyan, a country that is accustomed to border army robbery and notoriety, so it is indeed necessary to be simple and low-key during walking. However, this light dress was attached to this young man, which was very consistent with his temperament, and it didn't seem like it was deliberate.

Seeing that the old wine seemed to be slightly disturbed, the young man's eyes pressed down slightly, and he smiled instantly, raised his hand, but did not say a word.

Seeing this, Chen Jiu did not pretend to be reserved anymore and returned the courtesy, but she, like this young man, was only silent.

Chen Jiu had been in the Dongfeng Building in Kyoto for more than ten years, and the ability to recognize people with a pair of discerning eyes had already been exercised, and after looking directly at the scholar from the front for a moment, she found that this person should actually be twenty-six or seven years old. It's just that this person's face is a little strangely pale, his jaw has no beard, and he may not need to run for a living, he has been living in a relatively stable environment, and there are no traces of vicissitudes on his face, so it is easy for people to misjudge his age at first glance.

When a man of this age appears in this town, dressed in clothes that are obviously out of place with the townspeople, he is obviously not a local, and the reason for his coming to this deserted place may not be as simple as that of a curious and strong-blooded young man.

Chen Jiu's gaze was a little farther away, and he saw two people standing a few steps away.

A young man with a knife hanging behind his waist, with deep facial features, resolute eyes, and hidden might, even if he doesn't bring the waist knife that does not leave the handle, he can give people a strong feeling of martial arts. Another middle-aged man, between thirty and forty years old, has three turns of beard, a hair tied on the top of his head, wears a wooden hairpin, a pair of cloud eyebrows flowing into the sideburns, the pupils are black and moist and shiny, there is no one who has reached the turbidity of middle age, quite a bit of a Taoist who cultivates in the deep mountains and picks dew for food.

The outfits of these two men are also incompatible with the atmosphere of the town, and they are obviously from the gentle-eyed scholar all the way.

From time to time, the eyes of the young man holding the knife lit up on the scholar under the flower tree, and it seemed that he was most likely the scholar's bodyguard. The middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist had a straight waist, tied his hands behind his back, and his eyes fell on the flower tree, looking at his frank and leisurely appearance, as if he had learned some heavenly opportunity through the flower—he and the scholar might be friends of mentorship and friend.

The inn rented by Chen Jiu, although the source of customers is very thin, is still different from the private house, and it is still possible to receive a few orders of business every month, and it is common for passers-by to live in and rest for a day or two. It's just that the old wine rarely comes back to live here. That's why I was a little surprised when I saw strange travelers.

However, compared to the situation of the people here. These three travelers are all too special in their own temperament.

But this only made Chen Jiu pay more attention to it, and the passers-by were in a hurry. There are contacts and one-sided relationships, what does it have to do with yourself?

Suddenly, a sudden wind arose, and the branches of the flowers and trees were swaying. Those flowers that droop like Jin Ling are close to the edge of blooming and failing, the stalks are ripe and soft, how can they withstand such a toss, and I don't know how many Ling-like flowers that could have been nostalgic for a long time on the branches are falling in an instant. The flowers and rain are like fog and charming eyes, and it also blurs the vision of the two people standing in the middle of looking at each other.

Both of them were slightly stunned.

It's not because of the sudden rain of petals that creates a certain atmosphere. Let two people be moved by each other. In fact, the experience of these two people in half their lives has long passed the age when it is easy to move their hearts with a scene and a glance. What's more, the scholar is like the temperament of an ancient well and a deep pool, and Chen Jiu has long been concerned about one person, and he has no other thoughts.

The two of them only remembered a familiar fragment from each other's blurred figures.

"Helpless, the cold rain in the morning and the wind in the evening." The sentence with a slightly helpless and sad context was chanted by the scholar again, which was the next paragraph of the sentence "Chunhong is too hurried" just now.

However, unlike before, although the melancholy meaning of this sentence has not changed a word, when the scholar read this sentence after a while, his mood seemed to change suddenly. The tone was full of joy.

This made Chen Jiu, who was standing closest to him, feel quite strange, and her eyes moved slightly, and she was also slightly surprised to see the two fellow travelers of the scholar a few steps away.

Finish reading the second half of the order. The scholar faced the sparse crown of the flower tree and the spring red, and said, "Linghua has a spirit." "It's a deep one.

He seems to attach more importance and respect to flowers and trees than to people. Although there are indeed such people in the world, most of whom are hermits with high temperaments, it is not without reason that hermits are close to natural things. But in the blink of an eye, this scholar grew up with this flower and tree that he did not plant and take care of, and he would not stay here for long, the two have nothing to do with each other, why should he respect it?

Just when Chen Jiu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, the guy who was called Ah Sheng among the few guys in this inn trotted in. He first glanced into the courtyard, and then took two steps closer to the young man holding the knife. Nodding his head, he said very respectfully: "This uncle, your little horse has already served the forage. I took it to the door and waited. ”

The young man with the knife nodded, took out a grain of broken silver from the narrow sleeve that was cut and fitted to his body, and gave it to the innkeeper, and at the same time said: "With Brother Lao's care for the past few days, this is the housing fee and the road fee, and I will hand it over to you together." ”

Of course, Chen Jiu knows the cost of renting a room in this inn in the town, and the one who rewards the guys to run errands is called the Runlu fee, and she also knows that although the short-term rent is more expensive than the long-term rental, the young waiter with a knife seems to be too generous.

While thinking about this, Chen Jiu also thought that from the words of the young man with the knife, it was known that the three of them had been living in this inn for a few days, but they did not know anything about themselves, and she was really surprised when she heard it.

Could it be that my heart has been so deep these days? If I continue like this, I am afraid that I will be tired and sick, thinking of this, Chen Jiu is full of melancholy, and I can't help but sigh lightly.

Hearing this soft sigh, the scholar who was about to turn around and leave the inn with the two fellow travelers walked slightly, he looked sideways at Chen Jiu, as if he had something to say, and after a moment of silence, he only asked lightly: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of daring to ask the girl, do you know how many ways to pick flowers?" ”

Chen Jiu was slightly stunned.

When the two of them greeted each other just now, they didn't see that he was willing to say one more word, and when it was time to leave, he suddenly asked?

As soon as this question sounds, the motivation for the question and the answer are a bit questionable.

How can an adult not know how to pick flowers? And how many complicated methods are there for picking flowers?

If it weren't for the fact that the scholar in front of him seemed to have a gentle temperament and deep eyes, and suddenly asked him for advice on how to pick flowers from a strange woman who had seen him one-sidedly, if he met a woman with a sensitive heart, it would be difficult not to think about him with a certain kind of villain.

But this scholar not only asked a strange question, but also looked at the serious look on his face when he asked the question, as if he was really puzzled by how to pick a flower, and as if he wanted to pick a flower, such an ordinary thing really had a kaleidoscopic approach, and he was troubled for a long time how to choose, and was forced to ask the living.

However, since the old wine is only a superficial relationship with this person. So although she had doubts in her heart, she answered the simplest meaning, and lightly opened her lips and said two words: "A." ”

"Hmm......" the scholar hesitated. Then he waved shallowly, "Thank you, girl." ”

Let's talk about it. So he turned and left the courtyard with his two fellow travelers.

Walking out of the inn gate, the three of them stepped on their mounts, and on the saddles hung the water bladders prepared by the innkeepers. The sturdy horse shook its head and tail, full of energy, and when it saw the return of its master, it wanted to run wildly. But when they did not leave the immediate vicinity of the town's houses, the three riders pressed the reins in their hands slightly, and ran without fanfare. Just walking in small steps on the dilapidated and potholed stone streets of the town.

The width of the streets in the town is limited, and from time to time, there are farmers walking on the left and right sides of the street carrying farm tools and preparing to go to the fields for spring ploughing, which takes up some of the width, and it is more and more difficult to tolerate three horses in parallel. The young man with the knife took the initiative to take five steps behind, allowing the middle-aged man who was quite a bit of a fairy to ride side by side with the scholar.

The middle-aged man who looked like a cultivator also happened to have doubts, and when he rode slowly on the scholar's shoulder, he said slowly: "Brother Xian's question just now is quite meaningful, but why did you ask a strange woman? ”

"There's not just one way to pick flowers." The plain scholar smiled, "I should ask Brother Fang, this is a wise choice." ”

"Hehe, the virtuous brother misinterpreted. The foolish brother did not mean that the woman was clumsy. The middle-aged man touched his beard and smiled, and then said, "The method of picking flowers." There is really only one kind, and if you ask me, I will only answer that. It's just that the woman's delicate beauty is compared to the appearance of the flower and the moon, and you directly ask a woman how to pick flowers, aren't you afraid of annoying the beauty? ”

When the scholar heard this, he seemed to directly ignore the half of the words spoken by the middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest, but suddenly became very interested in the method of picking flowers, and immediately expressed his opinion: "I don't think so. To get a flower out of the branch. There can be many ways. For example, if I have the heart to pick flowers. It can be fully loaded. ”

The middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest laughed when he heard this, but there was no contempt in his laughter. And it was as if I had discovered something interesting, and the laughter came from the heart. After a while, he said with a smile: "Take the hand as the pick, rely on the sickle as the cut, and bear the wind...... It is to scrape off the flowers, it turns out that there are several ways to pick the flowers you asked, but in fact, what you ask is not the way and process of acquisition, but the result of obtainment. The results can be in the tens of millions, but there is only one form. ”

The scholar frowned without leaving a trace, then smiled with emotion and said: "You, a Taoist priest, are no different from a certain guy who often talks about Buddhist mantras, and it seems that it is wise that I didn't ask you just now." ”

The middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest ignored the disrespectful words that suddenly appeared in the scholar's words, and did not speak again, his bright eyes glowed with a deep meaning under his slightly lowered eyelids with a smile.

The scholar avoided ignoring the second half of what he just said, not because he didn't care, but because he was also hiding half of the sentence, and he wouldn't reveal it until he avoided the martial artist behind him.

For this point, the middle-aged man who has been enlightened for many years can faintly feel it, so the question he asked just now was just another test, and when he was sure that the scholar was hiding something and it was inconvenient to speak, he could devise a strategy and make an appointment with the scholar to speak alone.

The young man who followed him unhurriedly did not know about the tacit agreement reached by the two men riding side by side in a few gossips, and he only thought that the scholar in plain clothes had been with the monk hermit for a long time, so that he had slightly changed his former unthinking temperament, and often said some vague and unpredictable words.

——

When the three horsemen who were moving slowly dozens of steps away came out of the archway in front of the town, they really raised the reins and whips, the horses spread their hooves, and the three horses galloped into a cigarette on the dirt road out of the town, and quietly followed all the way to the old wine near the entrance of the town before the figure appeared from behind a house wall.

Not only does the backstage owner of Kyoto's Dongfeng House have a lot of status, but the reason why this pleasure place can be sheltered by big people is also because it has a special role in Kyoto.

Chen Jiu, who was once in charge of all the peripheral affairs of Dongfeng Building, in addition to being extremely trained in her ability to recognize people, her ability to track people has also been honed to a certain extent.

Although because of her weak martial arts, her tracking skills are certainly not as good as the group of "cat people and bird people" in the second group managed by Lin Shan, but it is only a small part of the road, and the person being followed is on a broad road, and it is of course more than enough to follow all the way down without being noticed.

Standing at the intersection of the road, he looked at the smoke and dust that was rapidly moving away on the dirt road. Chen Jiu recalled that she had just seen the back figure of the scholar riding on horseback, and was a little surprised by the result of her final inference, and after a moment's pause. She regretted that she hadn't seized the opportunity just now, and she used the excuse that it would be better to let the scholar leave a few ink treasures.

Slightly stunned, he walked back to the inn. As soon as Chen Jiu stepped into the threshold, he saw Ah Sheng, a guy running the hall, walking over with a smile on his face. He had just received a big reward from the young resident, and he had been happy until this time, and the smile on his face was not gone, which was normal.

The only short-term rental guest in the inn left the store to leave the hotel, and the guy was also free, Chen Jiu saw the way this Ah Sheng went out, and he was going to the town's small restaurant to relax and satisfy his hunger, and he didn't care. Just casually said hello to him.

But just as she was passing by, she suddenly had a thought in her heart, stopped Ah Sheng, and Wen Yan asked: "Ah Sheng, when did those three guests come in?" How did I not notice it at all? ”

"The day after you came back to stay, the three guests arrived, and you really didn't hear a trace of movement?" The innkeeper Ah Sheng was puzzled at first, and then he said to himself: "But...... Those three guests can be regarded as the most gentle people I have ever seen, gentle and gentle. It's not like the tone that some people are used to shouting and shouting. The three guests are also quite particular about washing and eating, and they are meticulous, not like some people pushing and moving. Even people on the street outside are afraid that they can hear that they are staying in the hotel......"

Chenjiu has opened a winery in the town, and the wine is very tasteful, and the guy of this inn, Ah Sheng, also knows it, and has visited it many times in the past year. Usually Chen Jiu saw that he was also half an acquaintance of Pingshui, and he often grew up with some catties and taels, and after a little time, Ah Sheng didn't treat her as an outsider, and some complaints in his heart were said in front of her.

Chen Jiu's eyes were smiling, listening to what he said later, although it was all trivial nonsense. But he didn't interrupt immediately, but secretly said in his heart: The role of silver is really not monotonous. The fastest way to buy people's hearts is profit, and it is the same in this remote town.

"Uh...... That's it......" I stayed until I was exhausted, and I was aggrieved by the prejudice of some days and the anger I received from some of the guests. Ah Sheng realized that he seemed to talk too much and was useless. With an embarrassed smile, he carefully considered it before he said: "Forgive the little faux pas, looking at the way you have been worried these days, you don't even care about the winery, you may really ignore a lot of things that happened around you." ”

"That's the case...... Chen Jiu smiled faintly, "It's okay, you can go on your own business." ”

Ah Sheng nodded and turned around and was about to leave, but for some reason he turned back again, and said hesitantly: "The little one saw you chasing you out just now, and you were anxious, could it be ...... Do you know those three guests? ”

"It's a mistake." Chen Jiu said perfunctorily, and when she was about to turn around, she suddenly stopped, looked at Ah Sheng's face, and said: "It's also a little strange, it's rare to see a guest like them, so I can't help but be more careful." Ah Shengna, a big reward like this, you should pay attention to it when you take it. ”

This reason was a little reluctant, but Ah Sheng felt the kind reminder of Chen Jiu, and did not think about it, but only sincerely admitted: "The little one has been taught, thank you for your advice." ”

——

Chen Jiu was silent and melancholy in the inn residence for a few days, until today when she met the strange scholar under the flower tree, and in the rain of flowers that blurred her vision, she caught a familiar image from the scholar, and she suddenly had the idea of walking out of her house and going to another house.

I didn't expect that the one who shook his almost frozen mind out of the cracks would be a stranger.

When she was still a hundred steps away from Lin Shan's residence, Chen Jiu saw the unfancy but extremely familiar doorway, and looked at the two doormen at the door who could teach their names with just a vague glance, and even easily count their favorite meals, although it was only three days after the interval had not arrived, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in her heart, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or afraid.
