The sun was blazing, walking on the streets of Hangzhou, Xiaoyue felt a little hot.

After the Begonia brothers and sisters got the portrait from Ruan Whale Luo, they came to Hangzhou City. According to Gan Wu, the lady who sold the baked cakes usually set up a stall on the street near the city gate, so it was not difficult to find her.

"Brother, don't you see that lady?"

Haitang followed the prestige, and saw a lady sitting next to the street cake stall holding a straw fan who was constantly fanning herself with the wind.

"Auntie," Haitang nodded to Xiaoyue and approached the stall, "Bring me two baked cakes." ”

"Okay!" When the lady heard this, she immediately put down the fan in her hand, wiped her hands on her clothes, stood up and began to make baked cakes for Begonia.

Looking at the skillful movements of the eldest lady, Haitang asked seemingly inadvertently: "There are a lot of people entering and leaving the city every day, eldest lady, your business should be good, right?" ”

The eldest lady didn't stop moving, she tilted her head and smiled at Haitang: "Yes, business here is really good." ”

"Are you busy coming here alone?" Xiao Yue asked on the side.

The eldest lady smacked her lips: "Under normal circumstances, although I am a little tired, I can still get busy, but sometimes there are too many people, and I obviously can't do it alone." ”

Seeing that the eldest lady seemed to be very talkative, Haitang was slightly relieved, and he asked again: "Then haven't you thought about finding someone to sell with you, and the two of you won't be so tired?" ”

"In the past, my old man sold with me, but now that he has been dead for two years, I have to sell it myself...... Here, yours," the eldest lady said, handing Xiao Yue a baked cake, and then turned around and started to make another, "A few months ago, there was a little girl who sold with me, and that girl was very polite, but her politeness made me a little embarrassed...... But she followed me to buy a month's worth of baked cakes, and I never saw her again, and I haven't paid her yet. ”

Begonia raised her eyebrows: "So you were selling alone for the next few months?" ”

The eldest lady nodded and handed the finished baked cake to Haitang: "Take it." ”

Haitang thanked her and followed Xiaoyue out of the eldest mother's booth.

After all, a baked cake is not full, so the two of them were going to go to the restaurant in the old city to have a meal before returning to the wine shop, but after walking for a while, Haitang suddenly slapped his forehead: "We forgot to give the money for the big lady's baked cakes." ”

Xiaoyue also reacted: "That's it, I'll go back and pay my aunt, you go to the store and wait for me." ”

It was the familiar scene again—a sea of fire, a house that collapsed in the fire, and the man.

"Wan'er, leave me alone, leave me alone...... Run—they'...... They're coming...... Run—"

She opened her eyes. It seems that I had a strange dream.

When did it start raining?

When the woman thought this, she was already soaking wet.

It's night, and without the scorching sun, the temperature has dropped a lot. The cold raindrops slapped down on her body, and the wounds on her body that had not healed were faintly painful. Mixed with the rain, the blood that flowed from the wounds stained the tattered clothes.

She trembled and curled up, but there was no emotion in her eyes, as if the movements were just instinctual.

After a long time, she stood up, and in the midst of the rain, she plunged headlong into the forest in front of her.

The earthy air of the forest was a little heavy, and she struggled to walk, her legs already covered with mud.

She didn't know how long she had to go, or how long she didn't even think about how long she had to go.

She was just walking.

When we reached dawn, we walked to a clearing in the forest, and the rain had stopped, and the grass and trees on the ground were stained with raindrops, and the sun was slanting towards it, and a faint mist floated in the air.

In the beautiful scenery, she fainted again.

Then she woke up, not knowing if she had been asleep for a day, or two days, or more. When she woke up, she couldn't see her fingers around - it was late at night.

It seemed that it hadn't rained since she had fallen asleep, and although she couldn't see clearly, she could feel that the grass was no longer wet and the soil had solidified.

She tried to stand up, but her body defied her commands.

Her whole body ached – and to make matters worse, she hadn't eaten or drunk in a long time.

So she crawled forward inch by inch.

Then, at some point, I fell asleep again.

Dreams, shattered.

Gan Wu's eyes widened and he gasped, and the sunlight shining in from the window was a little dazzling.

The woman's face was finally no longer blurred, and the person in the dream was all too familiar to her.

The other side.

Haitang came to the restaurant one step ahead of Xiaoyue, the restaurant's business was just right at the moment, the old city saw Haitang coming, and couldn't help but drag him directly into the back kitchen, and let him start after explaining to Haitang.

"Xiaocheng, you've always been alone in this shop," Haitang said as she cut the vegetables, "I think you can consider finding a few cooks to help." ”

"No," Old Cheng stir-fried on the side, "My craft comes from the master, and my guests are also here for my craft, so I don't need to find other cooks, as for Xiao Er, I have also considered doing chores," Speaking of this, she showed a somewhat strange smile, "I also specially discussed with the regular customers in the store, but they all said that they didn't need to find Xiao Er to do chores, and they also said that I don't need to be in a hurry, they can wait slowly." ”

Haitang was a little surprised: "What's going on?" ”

"After all, the dishes made in our old city are a must, and the people are so good-looking," the old city hadn't spoken yet, and Xiao Yue's voice had already come from outside, "Instead of letting those little two who nodded and hunched over their bodies serve them food and tea, of course they prefer an old city that looks like an iceberg beauty to do these things for them." ”

Looking at Xiao Yue, who walked into the back kitchen with a big grin, the old city said in a somewhat strange tone: "I want you to take care of ......"

"Shy?" Xiao Yue teased.

Haitang waited for Xiaoyue to chat with the old city for a few words and explained the reason why they came here today, but the old city also decided to close early and follow Haitang and them back to the wine shop.

But think about it, after all, the old city and Ganwu are still acquaintances, and it is normal to care about Ganwu.

"Hey, Miss Yue, we heard what you said so loudly just now," and when the three of them put together the dishes of the last batch of customers and began to eat themselves, a loud voice came from a table, "They all said that they can't see through it, you ...... If you wear it, you can wear it, and you don't think about dismissing the second child of your teahouse, and learn from the shopkeeper of the small town to help us serve tea? ”

The restaurant in the old city is very close to Xiaoyue's teahouse, and the two girls often run each other between the two shops, and the regulars in the two shops naturally remember these two people, and later, there is even a group of customers who go to the teahouse to drink tea and chat and listen to books, and then go to the restaurant to eat when the meal is time - or vice versa.

Over time, these people and the two shopkeepers are also acquaintances, Xiaoyue has a lively temperament, and has a big sister - of course, she is a slacker who is only responsible for eating and playing at home - she can mingle with these guests; The old city is more shy, and her first impression is often that "no one is close", but after a long time of contact, you will find that she has a delicate heart and all the sensibilities that a little girl has.

And the two girls don't seem to be very old, customers are more wishful thinking about them as sisters, and their craftsmanship is really top-notch - naturally, the business of these two shops is getting more and more prosperous, and customers are coming back for more.

"Go, go," Xiao Yue waved her hand impatiently, "I remember you, and I will definitely give you less tea next time." ”

"Hey, Miss Yue, this is how small you are......"

Watching her sister and the occasional interjection in the old city chatting with these customers, Haitang smiled slightly.

"By the way, who is this?"

A customer looked at Begonia, and Begonia was stunned, but immediately reacted. He rarely appears in teahouses and restaurants, and spends most of his time in the liquor store, so it's not unusual for these customers to not know who he is.

He was about to answer, but another customer had already spoken: "This is that you don't know anything, you must not have been to the teahouse often before," the guest knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, attracting everyone's attention, "Brother Begonia, you see if what I said is right." This big brother Begonia is the brother of our Yue girl, and at the same time, the shopkeeper of our small town is also busy with him. ”

As he spoke, he coughed a few more times, "So, if all of you here want to propose marriage to the two beauties' family—"

"Eat your food, shut up!" Xiao Yue's eyes widened, and the man suddenly wilted.

"You're still laughing, don't laugh!"

Walking on the way back to the wine shop, Haitang kept smiling, and seemed to be very happy in her heart, while Xiaoyue on the side saw this, her eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and she was a little dissatisfied.

"I've never noticed that you have such a good relationship with these customers when I've been in your store before, and I'm happy for you."

Begonia said with an eyebrow.

"Just those people, a group of lazy people who only know how to drink tea, who has a good relationship with them?" Xiao Yue shouted.

At this moment, the old city on the side saw Xiao Yue's clumsy acting skills, and she also covered her mouth and laughed.

"Brother, I know what you're thinking," Xiao Yue restrained her expression, looked at Haitang and said seriously, "Don't worry, I have already come out of those things." ”

There was something strange in the old city: "'Those things', what's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just some of the past."

Xiao Yue said, and looked at Haitang again, who also nodded and laughed heartily.

When the three of them returned to the wine shop, Ruan Jingluo was painting in the courtyard to the flower garden, and when she saw the three of them coming back, she put away the Zihao pen in her hand and walked forward to enter the lobby with everyone.

"Sister Ganwu was taking a nap just now." Ruan Whale Luo said to everyone.

"Then let's wait until she wakes up." Xiao Yue said.

The old city was about to nod in agreement, when footsteps were heard from the stairs - Gan Wu dragged his tired body down the stairs.

"That dream again?" Looking at her sweaty head, Begonia asked.

Gan Wu nodded bloodlessly.

"I know when you've lost your memory."

"I know who the featureless woman in the dream is."

Then, Begonia and Ganwu spoke at the same time.
