He dismounted with Cuihan and sat down at the table.

"Shop - a pot of hot tea!" Cui Han exclaimed.

The shopkeeper was arguing with people, and when he saw us sitting down, he helped us bring a pot of tea and put it on the table, and brought two empty bowls.

"Two, do it yourself!"

After saying that, he continued to quarrel.

Cui Han pouted and poured me a cup of tea.

I thought it was funny, and listened carefully to the quarrel between the two people, because the tea customer thought that the tea here was too expensive.

"Tell me, tell me, I came here to drink tea five years ago, and you only accept a copper plate. Five years later, this tea has risen to three copper plates, you tell me, do you have pearls or jade in this tea? Tell me more, did the nobles of the palace drink your tea or what? ……”

This man is funny.

I couldn't help but turn my head to look. I saw a shriveled man in gray clothes pointing in the air with his thin fingers. The man looked to be in his forties, extremely thin. As soon as he spoke, the skin on his face pulled his neck and twitched together. But on his back was a large boxy box.

The man didn't speak loudly, but he bit every word so hard that one had to pay attention to what he said.

His fingers lit regularly in the air, and each time they clicked at the same place, as if there was an invisible origin in the air.

I chuckled and turned around, and found that Cui Han heard this man speak, but she was slightly stunned, and her hand that was pouring tea for herself immediately stopped in the air.

I noticed that she looked up, but sighed faintly, and then continued to pour tea.

"But what's wrong?" I sensed the clue and asked.

"No, it's just that I think the person is very familiar with what he says, but it's not the same when I look at it."

"There are so many people and things in this world that feel familiar, but sometimes I really wish that it felt wrong......"

I said lightly, I just remembered that I had sensed Cheng Hao's breath in the Night Shadow King.

"I guess it's that familiarity that melts into life......" Cui Han said casually as she brought the tea to her lips.

A light breeze blows, and the oil lamp hanging on the wall of the tea shop sways with the wind, attracting countless moths to fly along the halo. A few of the more daring ones rushed straight into the lamp, and in an instant they were scorched and fell into the lampholder.

My heart moved: "Cuihan, that person, can't it be your father?" ”

"Poof-" Cui Han squirted out a sip of tea, "girl, my father died when I was five years old, and I grew up with Master!" ”

"Then she is your master!" I wiped my face.

"Impossible," Cui Han shook her head like a rattle, "My master is tall, and although his face is not very good-looking, he is not as ugly as him!" ”

Before Cuihan's words landed, the tea customers and the shopkeepers in the room had already pushed each other over.

"Girl, tell me about it, isn't that the truth?"

The tea man was a head shorter than the shopkeeper, but his strength was not small, and he pressed his skinny elbow against the shopkeeper's chest, and he quickly reached our table.

Seeing that Cui Han and I were just staring at each other, they didn't answer. simply tugged on Cui Han's wrist.

"You mean!"

This man is not seen!

"Ahh Cui Han seemed to be frightened, and only stared at the man blankly.

The shopkeeper was not good at words, and at this time he blushed, and finally interjected: "You can't blame me, you can see that in the past few years, King Ningyuan is not in the north, and everyone says that the war will come to Kyoto." Everyone defends themselves, and this price will naturally skyrocket......"

"Fuck your shit!" The old man jumped to his feet, "You bad traders and treacherous villains, you made my grandfather miserable back then, not you, grandpa, can I fall to this step in the field?" You ......"

I couldn't help but frown, this man seems to be a madman!

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Cui Han staring at the man fixedly, his eyes burning, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The old man was really short-tempered, and there was no end to it.

Tudi Cuihan took out a few copper plates from his waist and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"We paid for his tea."

When the shopkeeper saw this, he accepted the money, and no longer bothered with it, and went into the grass hut.

The old man spat and spat at it, and then he felt that he was thirsty, so he sat down at our table with a loud voice, put the big box on his back on the ground with a "bang", and poured himself a cup of tea.

He drank tea loudly, sizzling endlessly.

I couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Uncle, do you know where the Wind and Rain Villa is?" ”

Hearing me ask, the man put down the teacup and said unhurriedly: "Wind and Rain Villa, I know it, it's behind the bamboo alley......"

At this point, he squinted at us and said, "Well......"

Cuihan frowned and said, "Are you short of money?" ”

When the man heard this, he was anxious: "Who is short of money?" You say me? Yes? I owe money to someone, and if I hadn't owed someone money, I wouldn't have been forced to do this......"

After that, he covered his face and became painful.

The cry was as loud as a sound, inhaling and exhaling and rhythmic, and it actually startled several sleeping forest birds.

I looked at Cui Han with each other.

After about a cup of tea, he finally cried tiredly, reached out and wiped his nose, and wiped it on the soles of his feet by the way, and his whole face wrinkled bitterly.

"Master, I just don't need a place to live......" He put his left foot on his right leg, hugged his left knee with both hands, and shook it.

"This is easy to do," I saw Cui Han's pleading eyes, and said, "I am the owner of Wind and Rain Villa, I wonder if you would like to go with us?" ”

"Good, good!" He high-fived and laughed. The laughter startled countless forest birds again.

He didn't think enough was enough, so he stood up and jumped and jumped.

I wondered how this person had a harmonious relationship with Cuihan, and how she could meet such a beautiful woman......

Suddenly, Cuihan asked, "Uncle, can I ask you for your name?" ”

It's okay not to ask, but as soon as the words fell, the man stood still as if he was frozen, rolled his eyes slightly, and didn't speak for a long time.

There was a sudden silence around them.

I told Cui Han that he didn't want to answer, so he packed up his things and prepared to leave.

"Who am I—" The man suddenly cried out.

I was shocked at the same time as Cuihan.

But I saw the man rise and fall in the air a few times, suddenly his palm touched the ground, and then he stood on one foot, and then he grabbed a branch and shook it, and his mouth kept shouting: "Who am I?" Who am I? Who is me? …… Who was I before I was born? After giving birth to me...... Who is I-"

For a while, a flock of birds chirped, and the forest was noisy.

"Who the fuck am I!" He was already rolling in a puddle, his hands clutching his neckline, crying and screaming.

I leaned closer to Cuihan and asked softly, "Do you still feel familiar now?" ”

Cui Han stared at the man for a moment, swallowed his saliva in a daze, and shook his head.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart—

I mean, human feelings often go wrong!

The man was still making a fuss, the wooden door behind him creaked, and when he turned around, he saw the shopkeeper's head poking out.

"Two girls, it's dark now, it takes two hours to go to Fengyu Villa, the mountain road is difficult, if you don't dislike it, stay in the cold house, and leave tomorrow night."

He was grateful to us for helping him out of the siege, so he stayed with each other. And so it did.

The shopkeeper led us into a small empty room, which was simple but clean.

When Cui Han and I had changed our clothes and were about to rest, we could still hear the man sobbing outside: "I-who is it?" Who- it's me ......"

At this time, the voice gradually deepened, like the cry of a wild ghost. It took another half an hour before the sound gradually faded away.

The next day, the sun was clear, and I said goodbye to Cui Han and the shopkeeper, but I didn't see the crazy tea customer, and the box he was still at the table at the tea shop was gone.

A few villages can be seen scattered along the road, but they are bleak and barren, and although they are surrounded by flowing water, they rarely see curling smoke. In the distance, jackdaws dotted and chirped hoarsely. Although the sky is clear, there is a sense of sadness in plainness.

I can't help but wonder, why did this tall sophomore think I bought such a remote Zhuangzi?

After walking for a long time, I saw a village a hundred meters away, the houses were neatly arranged on both sides, and in the middle was a narrow road paved with smooth stone slabs, which was sparkling in the midday sun.

I was happy in my heart, this must be through the bamboo alley.

He rode his horse over and got closer, but a chill slowly grew in his heart.

Most of the houses on both sides of the original narrow road have long been in ruins.

I thought it was densely populated, but now I found that the gray-black tiled houses were empty.

Walking through the narrow road, there was a deathly silence on both sides, and I didn't know what had happened in this village, where those people had gone, but I just looked at these broken and empty houses, and my heart was sad.

The cui han behind him was also silent, his breathing was heavy and long, and he must have had a lot of emotions like me.

"Hehe

A long laugh suddenly came from inside a house, and the horse suddenly neighed, almost tearing me and Cuihan off our backs!

I immediately reined in my horse and grabbed the frightened Cuihan with my backhand.

But when he saw a gray figure leap out of the roof, he sat cross-legged in the middle of the road.

The deep-set eyes, the face and neck as thin as a withered bamboo, and the crazy look are the tea customers in the tea shop last night.

"You're here?" I exclaimed at the same time as Cui Han.

"Little old man, I said that I would bring you to Fengyu Villa, I will bring you here, how can I break my promise!" Still sitting cross-legged, he tilted his head. As he spoke, the corners of his mouth pulled the flesh of his neck twitching and moving.

He has been calling himself "master" last night, but today he has become a "little old man" outside this wind and rain villa, I can't help but sigh, although this person is crazy, but his ability to judge the situation is not bad.

"You have never seen you all the way! I guess you made it here last night without sleep! Cui Han said behind him.

When the old man heard this, he was anxious, and jumped three feet high: "Master, how can I ever tell a lie to deceive people?" Uh-huh...... There was a time when I was deceived, but today, I really saw you riding on a horse before you walked in front of you, it was you who were clumsy and did not find me and me! ”

I was shocked—

If he could walk swiftly ahead of us without me noticing, as this man said, his skill would be extremely high, even on a par with the Night Shadow King.
