Chapter 256: Finding Someone Outside the City
After forgetting the machine building, Yu Shu's turtle board was halfway burned, and Lin Fu came to knock on the door, stood outside and asked her if she had eaten breakfast and if she had any explanations.
Yu Shu squatted by the stove and said through the door: "I'm busy, I have something to bother you to do for me."
"Girl, please."
"I heard that there are live chickens fed in the firewood room at the back, you look for any that often crow in the morning, and the crown is ruddy, put a bowl of chicken blood for me to prepare, and I will take it away when I go back."
Lin Fu didn't ask her what she wanted to do, so she took the order and came back in a moment and a half, saying that it was ready, and Yu Shu asked him to be busy.
Maybe it's a hot stove, this piece of turtle plate burns faster, Yu Shu sweated on his forehead, looked at the cracks, and hurriedly picked it up and came to the front to study, she had a small study in the compartment of this room, 'The ink is complete, so I wrote down the hexagram, disassembled and closed it, and finally had a little eyebrows.
"Look at it like it's going south," Yu Shu muttered to himself, putting aside the discarded turtle board, and writing down a few places in the south of the city that he might go to on a piece of paper, and he couldn't write it anymore.
The scope of this to the south is large, the south of the city is also south, and the south of the Yangtze River is also south, so she can't help but wonder if Qi Jingchen has left Anling and returned to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi.
With this thought, Yu Shu couldn't help but feel angry, if someone really returned to Longhu Mountain, then she was still busy looking for something.
"Girl, the kitchen has boiled lily and sea bass soup, and the slave maid brought it to you." There is a sound of talking outside the door, and there are two maids in the Forgotten Building, the slow speaker is Fluttershy, and the fast speaker is Xiaoqing.
Yu Shu put down the pen and paper and went to open the door, and saw Xiaoqing holding a wooden tray in his hand, with a pink and blue glazed porcelain bowl on it, and a small cluster of plums painted on the top cover, which was very delicate, and there was a small dish of the same color on the side, with a little chive foam.
Xiaoqing put a handkerchief and handed the bowl to Yu Shu, opened the lid, and said Be careful about scalding, Yu Shu smelled the fish fragrance, and tasted two spoonfuls, and the taste was really delicious. After drinking half a bowl, she suddenly put down the spoon and asked Xiaoqing:
"This fish soup dish seems to cost twenty taels of silver a piece."
Xiaoqing said: "No, this Songjiang perch was only delivered fresh yesterday morning, and only twenty of them were raised in the fish tank."
Yu Shu sighed and said: "I'll tell the kitchen later, I don't have to go to great lengths every time I come back, I just steam snacks and boil soup, just send tea."
She is here to help Xue Rui do things, and she is not here to enjoy it, I am afraid that I ate seventeen or eighteen taels of snacks last time, and if it goes on like this, she will lose hundreds of taels before she opens her door to do business.
If she opened this restaurant, she would have eaten as much as she wanted, but she is also a part-time worker now, not a boss.
Xiaoqing looked embarrassed and said, "The girl doesn't know, this is the shopkeeper's explanation, I want you to serve the fresh soup and delicious food when you are here, and you can't be lazy."
Yu Shu frowned. You go and fetch Lao Lin, I will tell him. ”
Yu Shu originally thought that Lin Fu wanted to please her, so he served her so deliciously and deliciously, but who knew that when Lin Fu was called, he actually explained:
"The girl misunderstood, this is all the son's order, otherwise where would the little one dare to make his own claims."
Yu Shu was speechless, for Xue Rui's approach, he didn't think it was useful, but he felt that he was a big wrongdoer.
Lin Fu saw Yu Shu's face and knew that she didn't eat this set, her eyes rolled, and she said loudly: "Girl, you don't have to mind, the price of this dish is expensive, and our actual cost is less than 30%, and the chef has made every dish you taste, and you feel that there is no shortcoming, and it is easy to improve, isn't it."
Yu Shu couldn't hear that he was talking about the scene, but it was inappropriate for her to embarrass them about what Xue Rui ordered, thinking that she still had to talk to Xue Rui in person, so she let them go down.
He turned around and took the burnt tortoise board, and sat down in a soft chair under the glass window.
"Knock Knock"
There was a knock on the door outside, and Yu Shu thought it was Fluttershy Xiaoqing who came to deliver tea, and said "Come in", and after a while, he realized that something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw Xue Dashao's figure standing at the door of the small study
She hurriedly stood up and smiled, "Why are you here now?" I just have something to tell you. ”
Xue Rui put one hand behind his back, looked at her, and said, "There is news of Jing Shaoxia."
With a "click", the turtle board in Yu Shu's hand fell to the ground, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is there news?" Where are the people?"
Xue Rui saw that she seemed to be surprised and delighted, his eyes flashed, he crossed her, picked up the turtle board on the ground, turned around and sat on the soft chair she had just sat on, and said:
"In the early morning of the twenty-second day of the lunar month a year ago, someone in the guard of the Xuanqing Gate in the south of the city saw a young man in white clothes and white shirts going out of the city, and he seemed to be carrying some sharp weapon with him, which seemed to be Jing Shaoxia. I've sent people out of the city to inquire along the way, but I don't know which direction he's going, and it's hard to find, you"
Yu Shu's words changed, on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, it was the morning when she found out that Jing Chen was missing, and the only thing that disappeared with him was the rusty sword, so if the city gate guards saw Jing Chen, then he would have gone out of the city that day and left Anling Xue Rui said something later, Yu Shu didn't listen to a word, and there was only one thought left in his mind - Jing Chen's conscienceless bastard left her and ran back to Longhu Mountain
Xue Rui watched Yu Shu's face change again and again, obviously not listening to his words, narrowed his eyes, raised the turtle shell in his hand, and knocked it on her forehead.
Yu Shu came back to his senses after pain, covered his head and raised his head, and looked at Xue Rui dissatisfied, "What are you doing beating me?"
Xue Rui said: "You have time to think nonsense, it's better to think about where Jing Shaoxia might have gone, so I can let people track it down."
Yu Shu pursed his lips, and said with a taste in his heart: "It's been almost half a month, can you still find it?"
If she knew which family Lu Dao Jingchen belonged to in Longhu Mountain, it would be okay, but if she found him at the mountain gate, she would have to ask him for an explanation, why did she leave without saying a word, the key is that she didn't know where he came from.
Xue Rui heard the sadness in her words, and said in a faint voice: "I don't care if I can find it or not, but since I promised to help you find someone, I will definitely find it, unless you don't want to find it yourself, just talk to me now, and I will save trouble."
Yu Shu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It should be going south, in the direction of Shanxi."
Xue Rui nodded and said, "Zhilu Dao, I'll go back and explain, you are here, the tailor will come over later." By the way, what did you just tell me?"
After asking, he didn't listen to her, looked down, and the human soul didn't know where to go, he sighed secretly, raised his hand and patted her shoulder.
When Yu Shu remembered him again, the person who looked up was gone.
Sitting back on the soft chair, she leaned her head back on the back of the chair, thought about it again and again, and gradually came back to her senses, and felt that Jingchen would not leave all of them.
But where will he go when he leaves the city?
The tailor came after a short time, with small samples of various fabrics, as well as two thick albums, Yu Shu measured his height and size with them, and dealt with them absentmindedly, listening to them talk about the most fashionable styles at the moment, picked up the album and turned a few pages, and accidentally floated out a yellow charm, which fell to the ground, a tailor hurriedly bent down to pick it up, blew it carefully, and was embarrassed to Yu Shu:
"The girl is strange, yesterday I went to Guanzhong to ask for a charm, and when I came back, I forgot to take it out here."
Yu Shu looked at the yellow talisman, a thrill in his brain, his eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he stuffed the album to them, and rushed out with his skirt.
"Huh? Girl, girl?"
The two tailors looked at each other, wondering why the man had suddenly run away.
Yu Shu ran two streets before he hired a half-new carriage and gave him a piece of silver:
"Go to the south of the city, ascend to the clouds"
Sitting in the carriage, Yu Shu was a little out of breath, stroked his chest to calm his breath, finally relieved himself, and slapped his thigh again, showing annoyance.
The tailor reminded her that she had been looking for Jingchen for half a month, but she had only gone to a few places in the city that he recognized, such as Peiren Hall and Huixing Street, but she had forgotten that she had also taken him out of the city once, which was the Shengyun Temple in the south of the city.
If Jingchen hadn't returned to Longhu Mountain, if he had gone out of the city through the south gate, then he would have probably gone there
Yu Shu was up and down all the way, and she was afraid that she wouldn't find anyone when she got to the place, so she really didn't know where the others were.
The carriage ran for a long time, and Yu Shu got off the car in front of the city gate, and then got in the car and continued to walk, bumpy outside the city, swaying to a small slope at the foot of Shengyunguan, and before the carriage stopped, Yu Shu couldn't wait to jump down, causing a few pilgrims on the side of the road to look sideways.
Yu Shu inquired around in the first view, and she knew that if Lu Dao Jingchen regained his memory, he would definitely avoid the crowd, so as not to cause trouble to others, but if he had been in this place, someone might see it.
The Taoist priest in this view is high and does not like people, Yu Shu had to ask one by one in a good voice, but he found nothing, the pilgrims in white have seen a lot, but there is no one who looks as good as Jingchen and holds a sword in his hand.
Yu Shu looked for more and more urgently, out of the Taoist temple, and to the nearby forest, this radius of more than ten miles, a large area of the suburbs, overgrown with weeds, she looked around the periphery of the Taoist temple, and went away, at first you can still see a few chopping wood, and then the sunset, the sky gradually darkened, there was no one nearby, and the sound of crows and birds occasionally sounded.
Yu Shu was only afraid that Jingchen had the intention to avoid her, and she didn't dare to shout, she only hated that her legs were not long enough, so she stepped up her steps, but she fell twice on the depression because she ran too fast, and she didn't notice that her hands were broken and the skin was broken, and when she heard the faint wolf howl in the distance, she realized that it was dark.
The cold wind blew her awake a little, shivered, and looked back at the road she had come, but saw the shadows of the towering trees and the shadows of birds flying by, and in the darkness I didn't know where she was now.
Fortunately, she was quite calm, looked up at the not-so-bright stars in the sky, identified the north and south, stood in place for a while, and chose the way back with a heavy heart.
