Eighteen, the matter began - listen to Yuxuan (II)
Qi Lianyu naturally didn't know that he had become the talking point of Shui Zhuer and Xiaocao. After looking at it for a while, Qi Lianyu lowered the curtain and let Liu Feng continue to drive forward.
At this time, most of the stalls on both sides of the street had already been removed, and the rest of the people who had not been removed were also packing up their things and preparing to leave.
In Qi Lianyu's memory, the last time he came, it was ten years ago, when he was still a child, Uncle Song took himself and San Lang to Linqing Mansion, but he had already forgotten why he came here at that time, but he vaguely remembered that the sugar in this shop was very sweet, and the noodles in that shop were delicious. But that was only ten years ago.
Qi Lianyu smiled with emotion, and he didn't know where he had been before, and now he was still there.
So Qi Lianyu opened the curtain again, and the dim light was projected onto his face, a little warm and a little dazzling.
He remembered that this was originally supposed to be a candy shop, but now things are different, and the previous sugar shop is no longer there, replaced by an inn, an inn called "Liuyun".
Qi Lianyu was touched, and said to Liu Feng, who was driving in front of him: "Let's stay here today." ”
Liu Feng listened to Qi Lianyu's words, grabbed the reins, and stopped the carriage.
The words "Liuyun Inn" were hung high on it, because the sunset had gradually faded, the store had already lit the lantern and hung it on the two sides of the store.
The dim light, quietly projected on the ground, swayed, like a swing, swaying back and forth.
Seeing that a guest was coming, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Are you two going to stay in a hotel?"
Liu Feng nodded and said to the shopkeeper: "Two rooms, and my horse, help me feed it." ”
After speaking, Liu Feng found a place to sit down, and then shouted to the shopkeeper: "Get me something to eat first, whatever you want." ”
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, then turned around and was about to give orders, but was stopped by Qi Lianyu.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the young man with half a mask was going to do, so he asked, "Childe, do you have anything else?" ”
"It's gone," Qi Lianyu smiled, and then said, "It's just a little curious, we have such a big inn, there is no running hall, shopkeeper or something, and the shopkeeper will come to greet him in person." ”
The shopkeeper didn't expect this son to ask about this matter, so he smiled a little helplessly, and said to Qi Lianyu: "Of course there is, otherwise such a big store, how can I come over alone, but now they are all out to find horses." ”
Qi Lianyu's face was full of surprise, and then he looked into the shopkeeper's eyes, as if to see if he was lying. And Liu Feng, who had already found a place to sit down, was also interested when he heard the shopkeeper say this, so he also came over and interjected: "I didn't expect the shopkeeper to start a horse dealership business." ”
The "horse walk" that Liu Feng said is actually a code word on the underworld, referring to horse bandits who make a living by robbery, and "looking for horses" is to go out and step on the spot and find a suitable person to start.
Although the shopkeeper is not on the underworld, but the inn is full of people every day, and the people in contact with him are all three-minded and ninth-rate, so he naturally understands this, and after hearing Liu Feng say this, his face immediately showed a trace of embarrassment, and quickly explained: "The guest officer laughed, how dare we do those businesses, the shopkeeper and they really went out to find a horse." ”
Qi Lianyu knew that Liu Feng was joking with the shopkeeper, so he didn't let Liu Feng continue, but answered the conversation himself and asked, "Could it be that the horse in the store is lost?" ”
"But no, don't believe it, the horses in our shop were let go by another horse," the shopkeeper sighed softly, "There are mainly other guests who have fostered the horses in the second place, and if they can't be found, my inn will be almost over." ”
Qi Lianyu comforted a few words, and the shopkeeper also went down to get busy.
After a while, a shopkeeper-like person came over with a few kinds of wine and food, and it seemed that he should have just said that the shopkeeper had just said that he had gone out to look for a horse.
"I heard that the horse in the shop was let go by another horse?" Qi Lianyu said seemingly casually to the shopkeeper who came over.
The shopkeeper put away the wine and food, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a rag on his shoulder, and then took a breath and said, "No, who would have thought that such a thing would happen." ”
Qi Lianyu looked at the shopkeeper with interest, then took out some silver coins from his sleeve, stuffed them into the shopkeeper's hand, and then said to him: "We are in the horse trading business, and I listened to what your shopkeeper said, so I am more interested in that horse." ”
The shopkeeper looked at Qi Lianyulu's half face outside, and thought to himself: "This son, it's so good-looking, it's a pity, only half a face." ”
Qi Lianyu seemed to sense the shopkeeper's thoughts, and snorted coldly, which could be regarded as a warning to him.
The shopkeeper shuddered, knowing that he seemed to have made this boy angry just now, so he hurriedly apologized, and then said to Qi Lianyu: "That horse is indeed very spiritual, and his whole body is black, especially that eye, when he stares at you, he always feels that he can understand your mind." ”
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper also seemed to be interested, and continued: "Don't look at it as a horse, really, I've been in the inn for many years, and there are more guests who have met foster horses, but like this, the magic horse is abnormal, and the psychic horse, I still encounter it for the first time, that is, there is a little, it is too difficult to serve, and the ordinary forage does not move, and then we give it a hard-boiled egg, and it is considered to be eaten." ”
While Liu Feng was eating there, he was amazed and said, "It's the first time I've heard of such a picky horse." ”
As he spoke, Liu Feng stuffed a piece of sauced beef into his mouth again.
"But isn't it, I don't know what happened, I actually went crazy, broke free from the reins, and bit the reins of the other horses along the way, and it was a mess, and it took us a lot of effort to get the horses back."
"The dark horse was also recovered?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The owner of the black horse went in person, and he hasn't come back yet, so I don't know where the black horse ran away." ”
The shopkeeper seemed to remember what Qi Lianyu said about his interest in horses just now, thinking that he was going to buy the black horse, so he said to Qi Lianyu: "The owner of the horse is in the second room on the second floor and turns left, if the son is interested, you can go to him, but I think it is a little difficult to let him sell the black horse to you." ”
Qi Lianyu smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's time to make a friend." ”
The shopkeeper went down, Qi Lianyu looked at the few remaining drinks and dishes on the table, and said a little suddenly: "Uncle, I said why have you kept letting me eat dry food all the way, and the feeling is that you have left it until this time." ”
