"That boy will come a few more times in the future."

Yan Lanxi only showed a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, and nodded slightly.

Cautiously returning to the store, Yan Lanxi took off the cloak and hung it aside, and turned her head to see the pen and ink on the table.

"Yun Ying'er, what did you just write out?"

Yun Ying'er was sitting on the bed and playing with apples in all kinds of boredom, and after seeing Yan Lanxi who pushed the door in, she caught the apples in mid-air.

"Well, I met a couple of interesting people and drew a turtle for them."

Yan Lanxi put down the food box in her hand, took out the porridge inside and handed it to Yun Ying'er: "Is it Wanyang and their people?"

"Well, yes, I didn't see anyone else, only the black-faced man who had been following Wan Yang."

"That's right, I just saw him down there, with a bow and arrows in his hand."

Yun Ying'er took the hot porridge, drank it in small sips, and said in her free time: "People are rich, what's wrong with holding a bow and arrow, by the way, don't just let me drink porridge, Chun Tao can't just drink porridge when he wakes up in a while, right?"

"Got it, I'll go down and get some food in a while, I think you can't eat anything too greasy during this time, I'll go get some lighter food."

"Well, I want to eat dumplings."

"Okay, I'll go down and ask the shopkeeper if there's any."

Yan Lanxi covered the lid of the food box and went downstairs again, but now that she had only walked a few steps, Yan Lanxi felt out of breath.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work, it seems that this body will take some time to recover."

As soon as the shopkeeper came out, he saw Yan Lanxi, who was weak, patting her chest and coughing while going downstairs, and her eye sockets were dark.

"Little brother, I haven't seen you much lately."

"Huh? yes......"

Yan Lanxi saw the shopkeeper not far away, and walked down quickly, with a humble smile on her face: "There have been some accidents recently, so I don't go out much."

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and he touched his beard with a smile, and his eyes fell on the wound on Yan Lanxi's arm impartially.

"Hehehe, little brother, how is the injury on your arm?"

Yan Lanxi stood in place and stroked his arm, felt a slight tingling pain as soon as he put his hand up, frowned slightly, and looked at the senior in front of him.

"It's fine."

"Well, that's good, say whatever you want to eat, let the kitchen do it."

"Thank you, senior."

The shopkeeper's kind eyes looked at Yan Lanxi, with regret and guilt in his eyes.

Especially when he saw the eyes that were extremely similar to the old man, the guilt in the shopkeeper's eyes was even worse.

"Little brother, I've been here for so long, and I haven't talked to you properly, so take advantage of my free time today to have a drink with me?"

Yan Lanxi had the heart to inquire about this shopkeeper, but since he sincerely invited him, Yan Lanxi naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, then bother senior, you wait for me for a while, and I'll settle my companion first."

"It's okay, it's okay, the old man drinks it alone."

The shopkeeper looked at the young man's not too broad shoulders, and beckoned the shopkeeper to bring a pot of good wine.

"Table, bring a pot of rice wine."

"Shopkeeper, the table is going to sleep."

A skinny young man ran out with a jar of wine in his hand.

"Shopkeeper, here comes the wine! I've brought you a jar of rice wine. ”

"Put it down, what did that boy make in the back kitchen?"

"Back to the shopkeeper, dumplings."

"Well, I'm waiting."

The thin man raised his eyebrows, his eyes were slit, and he pulled his mouth to reveal a mouthful of slightly black teeth: "Okay!"

Yan Lanxi stood at the door and looked at the flow of people outside, and when she saw the child holding her parents, a touch of affection flashed in her dark eyes, and her eyes reluctantly followed the small and two large figures until they disappeared from sight.

"This son, the dumplings you want are ready!"

Yan Lanxi, who withdrew her gaze, regained her cold face, then turned around and walked to the back kitchen, reaching out to take the three bowls of hot dumplings.

The shopkeeper flashed his hand and looked at Yan Lanxi with a smile.

"Childe, I'll send it to you, don't bother you to run it yourself." ，

"No need, I'll do it myself."

After speaking, he couldn't help but take the tray from the shopkeeper, take out a bowl from it and put it in front of the shopkeeper.

"Senior, I'll come when I go."

The shopkeeper held the wine cup and nodded, Yan Lanxi didn't say anything more when she saw this, and went upstairs with the remaining two bowls of dumplings.

"The dumplings are here, they're still hot, eat them while they're hot."

Yun Ying'er jumped out of bed with her eyes shining, and passed under her nose with the bowl in both hands.

"It smells so good! What kind of stuffing do you have people make? ”

Yan Lanxi put down another bowl, turned her head and closed the door first, and then put the last bowl of dumplings into the food box.

"I just asked them to do what they did before, and they didn't know what to do."

"Their house is really fragrant, I have eaten many in this city, and the taste is not as delicious and mellow as this."

Yan Lanxi leaned over her nose and sniffed it, and fanned the smell with her hand over to him.

"Well, it's a lamb filling."

"Really? So fragrant? ”

Yun Ying'er couldn't wait to put one in her mouth, and as soon as she entered her mouth, the hot and fragrant taste filled her whole mouth, which was really full of umami and made people want to stop.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, this mutton isn't fishy at all."

Yun Ying'er gulped down, her face full of satisfaction.

"Since you like to eat, eat more in the future."

"Okay, okay."

Yun Ying'er walked back to the table with the bowl, pushed the pen and ink on it aside, put down the bowl and began to feast.

"And these small dishes, you can eat some together."

Yun Ying'er ate all over her mouth, and muttered in her mouth: "You put it down, I'll eat ...... later"

"Well, I'll go down and have a drink with the shopkeeper."

After saying that, no matter what Yun Ying'er did, she opened the door and went downstairs, and her footsteps didn't stop, and she walked straight to the table in the corner.

"Senpai."

"Here, sit down."

Yan Lanxi nodded, lifted the hem of her clothes and sat opposite the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper with a slightly red face picked up the wine jar and filled it for Yan Lanxi personally, full of wine, and the shopkeeper drank more than half of it.

"Senior, why did you suddenly remember to drink with me?"

"Seeing you reminds me of an old friend."

Yan Lanxi didn't squirm, picked up a big bowl of wine and drank it freely, a little wine slipped down the corners of her mouth, dripped down Yan Lanxi's Adam's apple, and then flowed down her neck to it.

"Thanks to the love, it is a little similar to the old people of the predecessors."

"Hahaha, I wonder if the little brother's parents are alive?"

When Yan Lanxi heard this, her fingers holding the bowl pinched the edge of the bowl tightly, her mouth pursed into a line, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence.

"Parents...... Both died at an early age. ”

When the shopkeeper who was drinking heard the news, the wine in his hand fell in response, and the wine cup smashed on the ground and shattered into several pieces, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"How so? How did Yan Hua die? ”

The shopkeeper unconsciously said the name of Yan Lanxi's biological father, his hands were still trembling, and the flesh on his face was twitching.

Yan Lanxi, who was immersed in grief, heard the senior in front of him say his father's name, and his shock was no less than when the shopkeeper heard that Yan Hua had died.

"Senior, you...... Know my father? ”

The shopkeeper's old tears looked at Yan Lanxi, his eyes full of the loving eyes of all the juniors.

"I've seen you familiar to me since the first day you came here, until that snowy time you came back and undressed, and I saw the birthmark on the back of your neck......"

When the shopkeeper said this, Yan Lanxi subconsciously touched the birthmark on the back of her neck, and her heart jumped a few times.

"The birthmark you have, I saw it once when you were a child, and the similarity between you and your father when you were younger, I slowly confirmed it."

Yan Lanxi lowered her head and touched the table under her hand, and tears fell on the table one by one, gradually smudging on it.

Picking up the wine bowl and pouring it down, Yan Lanxi raised her hand to wipe the wine from the corner of her mouth, looked at the shopkeeper with red eyes, and slowly spoke.

"My parents were taken away by the cabinet people, and I have been looking for the cabinet people for so many years."

"Cabinet people?"

The shopkeeper's face became solemn, his fingers rubbed the wine cup, and a familiar scene came to mind.

"When did this happen?"

"When I was five years old, when my parents came back from taking me outside, they noticed that something was wrong and hid me in a cupboard, and I got away with it."

"Nowadays, there are many rumors in the rivers and lakes, and most of them are also condemning the people in the pavilion, and after you take care of your body, you may be able to make friends with those capable people."

When Yan Lanxi heard this, she raised her head, and there was a flash of light in her eyes, which quickly dimmed again.

"But I'm just a nobody, and I don't have a way, how can those people easily agree to befriend me."

The shopkeeper's beard pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "If you believe me, I have a way, maybe you can try it."

"Senior, you said."

"You might as well recognize me as a godfather and help you introduce you to the past. Otherwise, I can't say that I don't have a name. ”

When Yan Lanxi heard this, she immediately got up and stood up straight: "Godfather is on top, take his son Yan Lanxi and bow down."

After speaking, he bowed down deeply, and didn't get up for a long time, he wanted to avenge his parents so much, so, no matter what, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Yan Lanxi would hold on tightly.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The shopkeeper said three good words in a row, picked up the wine cup and stood up.

"Xi'er, you can change your name to my father in the future."

Yan Lanxi picked up the wine bowl slightly lower than the shopkeeper's wine cup, and touched it lightly: "Yes, father."

Both of them raised their heads and drank it all, sat down with a smile, and continued to talk about the people in the cabinet in order to prepare for the future.

After half of the wine, Yan Lanxi looked at the "godfather" she had just recognized with her eyes in confusion, and raised the wine bowl again: "This bowl of wine is still respectful to my father, speaking of which, I don't know my father's name."

"The surname is Zhao, and the name is only one Kuang character."

"Zhao Kuang, the name of my father is also unusual, which makes people feel awe."

Zhao Kuang looked at the half-grown boy in front of him and filled himself with a glass of wine again.
