"I just quoted a few sizes to the store, you can tell?" Lin Shan looked at Li Gai and smiled.

There were many people on this shopping street, and he inevitably bumped into others while walking, so he simply put his arms around his chest and walked very slowly. After being silent for a while, seeing that Li Gai didn't speak, he finally spoke again: "The other thing is made for Jiang Chao by the way, with his current outfit, it is not suitable to follow me." ”

A look of surprise flashed in Li Gai's eyes, and he thought about it before he said: "It seems that it is the size of his clothes, and after a few years, your observation of height, shortness, width and narrowness is still so keen." As soon as he finished saying this, his tone and topic suddenly changed, "Speaking of Jiang Chao, why didn't you take him with you when you went out today?" ”

"It's a bit of a swagger." Lin Shan's gaze swept over the various shops on the side of the street, and said casually: "He stopped beside me, I'm afraid many people know what's going on." ”

Li Gai shook his head slightly, and said, "Don't tell me now that you are afraid of swagger, just now under the pavilion, don't you feel that you are swaggering?" ”

"I didn't expect to meet His Majesty today, but it was also me who swaggered, and it was swaggering to a fixed group of people."

Lin Shan withdrew his gaze from the shop on the side, glanced at Li Gai intently, and then said, "But if you take him with you today, it will be Ye Er and I swaggering together." The identity of that child is equivalent to a double-edged sword for her, and before she is sure where she will swing next, she may hurt herself. ”

Li Gai understood, just now in the pavilion, when the Huafu people were about to meet the child, they did remove the soldiers in the passage on the city wall behind him after Lin Shan left.

Just thinking of the child's troublesome situation next, he couldn't help frowning. said: "Kyoto is prosperous, it is easy to hide a person, but at the same time, if the person you want to hide is what many people are trying to find, but it is not as simple as when you are in a small county, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Actually, I'm worried about this." Lin Shan was silent for a long time, and then sighed deeply, "It's really not good. I sent her out of Beijing first, but the next destination was definitely not the small county town where she had lived for ten years. ”

"It's a big deal." Li Gai also sighed softly, "I hope this battle can be fought quickly and beautifully, so that he can also deal with this matter as soon as possible." ”

Lin Shan nodded without speaking.

Walking to the end of this bustling neighborhood, Li Gai stood on his feet, and did not continue to walk, but prepared to separate.

"Walking down this street, there is no tail to wear. Looks like there's nothing wrong with that. Li Gai and Lin Shan glanced at each other, "I'll send you here!" ”

Seeing this, Lin Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you go to the old mansion with me for a small gathering?" ”

"Forget it today!" Li Gai smiled and said: "Actually, yesterday was just my subordinates who hurriedly saw you from the city tower, so I'm not sure if I will really run into you today, and there are some things at hand that are still on hold for the time being." ”

Lin Shan let go of the hand that was wrapped around his chest, spread it to both sides, and said with a smile: "The first three days of spring. Most of the security issues in the inner and outer cities are pressed on you, and after the spring apocalypse, it is the matter of worshipping the heavens and praying for blessings, which is indeed enough for you to be busy. ”

"Fortunately, there are subordinates doing the errand work, I just bothered to supervise it, but in this way, I may not be able to take care of you." Li Gai hesitated for a moment and then said, "Otherwise, let's think about my Jianyì!" I'll make the arrangements for your accommodation. ”

"Well, let's talk about it. Give me a moment. Lin Shan said and arched his hand towards Li Gai. Goodbye. ”

Li Gai nodded and said goodbye.

……

On the outskirts of Beijing, in Shuangjing Town, thirty miles south of Wansonggang, a flatbed truck loaded with firewood slowly appeared on the road at the top of the mountain. The stacks of firewood on the car were a few feet high. But it's pulled by humans, so it looks scary. As the cart moved along the town's stone pavement, its speed increased slightly, attracting the attention of the town's pedestrians, and a few people who seemed to know the woodcutter who pulled the cart casually accosted him.

"Hey, I said, Little Joe, why did you pull so much firewood back at once? If you want to make more money, you can't be so anxious, pulling the car is hard work, and if you use too much force, you will be careful to hurt yourself. In a tea shed on the side of the street, an old man who was wiping the table with a rag saw the cart coming in, and after recognizing the person pulling the cart in front, he temporarily stopped what he was doing and shouted in a not very bright voice.

"It's okay, I brought a helper today! Taking advantage of the good weather these days, I cut more firewood, maybe in a few days it will be another spring rain, and I will not be able to work again. "If this kind of truck stops and starts again, it will take a lot more effort, so in the reply, Lao Qiao, who is pulling the car, does not stop. Feeling the care in the words of the old man in the tea shed, Lao Qiao, who was walking with a firewood cart, shouted with a smile again: "Uncle Sun, you put the teapot on the rack, wait for me to come back from selling firewood, and then come and drink the pot of big sweet leaves." ”

"Good ......" The old man in the tea shed had just replied with a word, and the following words were interrupted by the words of the other two tea guests who had just walked into the shed and sat down.

The two tea guests were dressed in cloth shirts that I don't know if they hadn't been washed or were originally gray in color, and their hair was tied with a rag belt, and it looked like they hadn't washed their hair for a long time, but the oily hair was still frizzy and curled, and with their eyes that were looking around but pretending to be deep, people could equate them with ruffians very lightly at a glance.

"Yo, I said why haven't I seen you for a few days, why is Qiao Yishi's strength so great, it turns out that there are two people pulling the car!" The ruffians sat down on the bench at the table under the shed, and one of them crossed his legs to the table, and then looked at the woodcutter pulling the cart, and his tone was frivolous.

It's just that the ruffian who had not put his legs on the table for long was pushed down by another ruffian who was traveling with him.

"Isn't it blocking to put your feet on someone else's desk and put it on your own desk?" The other ruffian first scolded his companion, then looked at the woodcutter who was pulling the cart, and shouted, "Little Qiao, your cart of firewood is all soft firewood, and the townspeople need to buy firewood for fire, but all they want is old trees to chop firewood." If you send it to the Kejia iron shop, which usually supplies firewood to them, even if people are willing to accept your firewood, it is estimated that they will not be able to give you a good price. ”

The woodcutter surnamed Qiao smiled a little reluctantly when he heard this, and stopped a little helplessly, and he said in a harmonious voice to the ruffian who spoke later: "I can't help it, Brother Du, the trees in the spring are heavy and steamy, and it always rains at this time, and the firewood is not enough time to dry, so I have to chop some soft firewood first, at least I can exchange some copper coins to live my life." ”

"Then what kind of big sweet leaves do you have to drink?" The woodcutter's distress did not arouse the sympathy of the ruffian surnamed Du, but his face was pale, and his voice raised a few points and said: "You haven't paid 30% of your monthly payment last month, and you can't delay it anymore this month, and you have to hand it over together with the part that was missing last month." When he said this, he hesitated for a moment before he continued: "This helper of yours has a very unfamiliar face, and for the sake of the fact that the weather has been really bad recently, which has affected your harvest, I can temporarily not report his share for you this month, and you can make up for the missing share on time while you take advantage of this." ”

"Thank you so much Brother Du!" The woodcutter hurriedly bent down towards the ruffian surnamed Du, and the strange young man surnamed Du who was in charge of pushing the cart behind the car naturally did what he did, and bent down towards the two people under the tea shed, but he didn't say anything.

The ruffian surnamed Du accepted the bow of the two people in front of the firewood cart opposite him with a natural expression, and at the same time stopped the ruffian sitting next to him from saying what he was about to say with a look, but when his gaze collided with the gaze of the strange young man behind the firewood cart, for some reason, he felt a slight surprise floating in his heart.

The firewood cart was pulled up again, and after passing half of the main street in the middle of the town, it turned into a small alleyway that was not very smooth, drove to the east side of the town, and finally drove into the backyard where the Kejia iron shop used to store firewood.

As soon as the firewood cart stopped, the woodcutter who was in charge of pulling the cart just now immediately found a bundle of chopping firewood in the courtyard as a stool, sat down and took a big breath. The young man in charge of the cart shouted twice into the iron shop, and then two young men who looked like iron men who were half-naked came out of the back door of the iron shop and began to unload the wood with great speed.

In fact, although what the ruffian said just now was not all right, it was half right. This kind of soft firewood, which can be obtained without any skill and is not easy to master, is sold to the iron shop, and even if it can be sold, the price must be too low. However, the main purpose of this car of soft firewood was transported to Kejia Iron Shop, or to cover the bundles of things hidden in the firewood.

Looking at the dozen bundles of books exposed on the car after the few bundles of soft firewood covered on the exterior were removed by the two men, the woodcutter pulling the cart said loudly with a shocked face: "I said how heavy it is like pulling a coffin, it turns out to be ......"

"Be quiet!" The young man who was in charge of the cart just now suddenly said in a loud voice.

The woodcutter was suddenly silent, looked at the cart of books and swallowed his saliva, and hesitated for a moment before he said, "Why did you send this?" Uncle Ke is not a person who can dance and write! ”

"Do you need to ask more questions when you see this?" The young man began to remove the books from the cart that had been tied into squares with rope and said, "Whatever is sent here is one of two things, either it will be burned or it will be melted." ”

"I know, but I can't figure it out!" The woodcutter sat down on the pyre for a while, rested for a while, and then stood up, stretched his limbs a little, and then drew near to the young man, and helped him unload the bundle, and said, "It is a pity that so many books have been burned." ”。 (To be continued.)
