After a long time, Master Xiaoyu slowly raised his head, looked at Shen Bai expressionlessly, and said distantly, "If Childe has nothing you want to buy, please leave." ”

Shen Bai and narrow eyes looked at the woman's face, her face was cold, there was no other expression, and there was no rise or fall even when she spoke.

Looking at Master Xiaoyu, Shen Bai frowned slightly, what has she experienced in these days? It's going to change so much.

Shen Bai's sword eyebrows were unconsciously pinched together, he really couldn't help her like this.

Pursing his thin lips, Shen Bai suddenly walked quickly over the counter to Master Xiaoyu, not understanding the man's sudden actions, Master Xiaoyu subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at Shen Bai with wide eyes.

"You come with me." Saying that, not allowing the girl's refusal, Shen Bai grabbed Xiaoyu's wrist and prepared to go out.

"What are you doing, I still have to look at the store!" Master Xiaoyu twisted his wrist, trying hard to break free from the shackles of Shen Bai.

Shen Bai turned his head to look at the girl and replied, "Don't worry, it's getting late now, and no one will come." With that, the man ignored the girl's protests, pulled Xiaoyu Shishi and ran out.

"Where are you taking me?" Master Xiaoyu was a little annoyed, and the man didn't move at all.

The man didn't listen to the girl's complaints at all, and led the little rain master through the deserted streets.

Follow the stone staircase and climb up to the high castle tower.

Finally arrived, Master Xiaoyu was so tired that she panted and bowed slightly, this man was simply a nervous disorder, and she had already greeted the eighteenth generation of the man's ancestors in her heart.

On the other hand, the man took her for the same distance, but he didn't breathe at all, let go of Master Xiaoyu's hand, and walked to the edge of the city tower.

Master Xiaoyu looked up at the man with his back to her, the cold wind on the city tower blew the corners of the man's soft clothes, and the darkness around him wrapped the man tightly.

Master Xiaoyu frowned slightly, calmed her heartbeat, pursed her lips, walked gently to the edge of the city tower, stood next to Shen Bai, and she also looked out of the city.

This is the castle tower of Phoenix City, except for the children of the family, the royal family and nobles, the dignitaries and their families, other people are not allowed to come up, Shen Bai is the people of the princess's mansion can be, but Xiang Xiaoyu Shishi This kind of humble poor people have never come up.

I didn't know before, but the scenery of this city is so vast.

The two were like strangers looking into the distance, and they didn't communicate for half a minute, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, until a long time later, Shen Bai slowly spoke, and his voice sounded as good as a mountain stream flowing by, "What can you see when you look out from here?" ”

Master Xiaoyu's eyes are flat, standing here, this big Phoenix City is in full view, I used to be in it, I don't know what it looks like, now I climb high and look far away, only to know that this Phoenix City is so beautiful and prosperous.

She didn't rush to answer his question, and after a while, Master Xiaoyu said slowly, "I saw the bustling streets, shops, palaces, pavilions, mountains and rivers. ”

"But..."Master Xiaoyu's tone suddenly paused, turned to face Shen Bai calmly, and continued, "What do you want to do when you brought me here?" ”

The good atmosphere was destroyed by the woman, the man pursed his lips, hooked the corners of his mouth badly, turned around to face her, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said in a relaxed tone, "Take you to see the scenery." ”

Looking at the man's light appearance, Master Xiaoyu was angry in his heart, and rolled his eyes at the man, "Boring." With that, the woman turned to leave.

"Do you really want to stay in a small shop for the rest of your life?" Shen Bai spoke.

Master Xiaoyu turned around, and the cold wind blew the woman's clothes back, and the girl looked more and more emaciated.

"I apologize to you if it's because of me that made you like this." Shen Bai pursed his lips and looked at the woman with a determined look, this was the first time he looked at her with such serious eyes.

"It's none of your business, it's all my own choice, I used to think that what I longed for was a life of unrestrained and home, but when I let go of everything and decided to calm down and not wander, I realized that what I really want is a stable job and a dull life."

"Are you talking about ordinary life just sitting in a pastry shop and chanting?" Shen Bai stared straight at her.

"Childe!" Master Xiaoyu didn't want the man to continue, "I just met you in Pingshui, is Gongzi like this to everyone who meets in Pingshui?" I have already returned the money to Childe, and I ask Childe not to disturb my life again. ”

"I'll go first......" After speaking, Master Xiaoyu glanced at Shen Bai with a deep look in his eyes, and left without looking back.

Looking at the woman's back, Shen Bai turned around, and stayed alone on the city tower for a long time, looking at this prosperous and prosperous world under his feet, Shen Bai frowned deeply.

Day

Shen Bai came to the pastry shop again, only this time, he didn't see Master Xiaoyu.

"What do you want to buy?" He was greeted by an elderly woman.

"Where's Master Xiaoyu?" Shen Bai looked around curiously, unabashedly intended.

"Master, has she taken a leave of absence? When the woman saw Shen Bai dressed, she looked like a rich person and had a very kind attitude.

"Leave?" Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what she did when she asked for leave?" ”

The woman looked at him and shook her head.

Shen Bai pursed his lips slightly, and said again, "Okay, I want to see your boss." ”

"See our boss?" Although the woman had doubts, she still went to ask the boss to come out.

Just a moment later, a middle-aged man came out of the back room.

"It turned out to be Shen Bai's son." This shop is a well-known pastry shop in Phoenix, and the dignitaries in the city like to buy his pastries, which is why Shen Bai will see Xiaoyu Shishi at the poetry meeting of Yindehou Mansion, for Shen Bai, who often goes in and out of various places, he has naturally met with this boss.

"Boss Li." Shen Bai slightly hooked his thin lips and greeted him.

"Shen Bai Gongzi is coming, Li has missed the welcome, please forgive me." Boss Li is a kind person.

"Where, where, it's abrupt." The sociable Shen Bai is at ease with Feng Chip.

"Shen Bai Gongzi, please sit down" Boss Li and Shen Bai pushed and sat down, and someone immediately served hot tea.

"I don't know what Shen Bai Gongzi is here today ......" Boss Li is a straightforward person and gets straight to the point.

"It's not a big deal, it's just..."Shen Bai said as he put a silver ingot in front of Boss Li.

The man looked at the silver on the table suspiciously, raised his eyes and asked, "This...... What does this mean? ”

"A girl borrowed money from you, and I paid it back for her." Shen Bai looked at the man and said.

Girl? Pay back?

The boss looked puzzled.

"Master Xiaoyu." Seeing the boss's puzzled look, Shen Bai added.

"You said it was that girl, I, I like her a lot, she is diligent and serious, and the main thing is that she doesn't complain."

Listening to Boss Li praising her, Shen Bai lowered his head inadvertently, even he didn't know that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, she had such advantages, how could he not find it before.

"I don't know who that girl is? How can the son be so favored? ”

The man's words can be regarded as asking Shen Bai, who is she? In the words of Master Xiaoyu, he and her are just a giant passerby who met in Pingshui, why did he want to be like this, he originally thought that he had forgotten her, but when he saw her in Yindehou's Mansion that day, it aroused all his thoughts, and when the banquet was over, he actually walked outside the store, looking at her under the soft light, he was unwilling to just look outside the store, he wanted to just go in and tease her, but when he found that she seemed to be a different person, he aroused his curiosity about her again, how could she become like this, Is it because of him, but how could it be? He remembered that day, because of the sudden change, he had to place her in the flower building first, and let the proprietress of Guixiang Building take care of her, but when he went back, the lady told him that she had left.

What the hell happened to her?

"Boss Li, I want to ask you, when she came to you, did she tell you, why did she come here to work?" Shen Bai jumped over Boss Li's question and answered the question.

"Huh......?" Boss Li raised his eyes and recalled.

After a while, he turned to look at Shen Bai, "No, it's just that when I saw her that day, her eyes were red, and she spoke with a crying voice, as if she had cried?" ”

Ever cried?

Shen Bai pondered, why did she cry?

"Shen Bai Gongzi?" Boss Li glanced at the silver on the table, and looked at Shen Bai with some embarrassment, obviously there was something unspeakable.

"Boss Li has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Then I'll just say that." Hearing Shen Bai's words, Boss Li didn't hide it.

"Actually, master, you owe me more than ten taels of silver."

"More than ten taels?" Shen Bai was even very confused.

"Well, when those girls came to me, they borrowed two hundred taels of silver from me in one breath, and I was shocked when I first heard it, these two hundred taels of silver are nothing to Li, but after all, it is not a small amount, she was very sincere that day, she said that she would work to pay me back, according to the monthly example of the small shop for a month, she is afraid that she will have to work here for the rest of her life to pay off."

"Then Boss Li didn't ask her the purpose of borrowing money in the first place?" Shen Bai's voice was slightly deep.

"I asked, but she didn't say anything, I wasn't willing to lend her money as soon as we met, I, after letting her work with me first, I found through observation that this was good for the child, and she was quick and serious, so I agreed to lend her money."

What the hell happened to her?

Boss Li looked at Shen Bai with concern, "These two hundred taels of silver are nothing to the old man, besides, the relationship between the old man and the son, the son doesn't have to pay back the girl, these ten taels of silver, the son will take it back for the time being, if the son wants to take the girl away, although it is taken away, in fact, I still like that girl, but after all, I am still young, and most of my life should not be buried here." ”

"......" Shen Bai silently thought about the man's words in his heart, but if she took her away, how should he settle her, his identity was a dangerous existence for her after all.

……

Longcheng

Under the leadership of the old man, the group came to the Tengjia Village he said, but when they entered the village, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

The houses are like a strange traffic, the farmer goes to the field to farm, the couple weaves cloth and talks about mulberry hemp, the old man and children are happy, how can there be an old man's mouth, the plague is rampant, and the people are not happy.

The short-tempered Liang Quan only thought that he had been tricked by the old man, and rudely grabbed the old man's collar and shouted, "What about the plague? Well!? Boldly Diao Min dared to deceive his own officials. ”

"I didn't." The collar was tugged at by the man, and he was a little out of breath.

Liang Quan angrily let go of the old man's collar and threw the old man to the ground.
