When it came to the mirage, the rain finally fell.

The little leopard suddenly grabbed Su Jingchen's clothes and got into Su Jingchen's arms, without even poking his head out, Su Jingchen smiled bitterly, and trotted with Zhao Feng to the nearest bamboo building to take shelter from the rain, and when he stood still, he raised his head again and began to observe the surroundings:

The bamboo building built from the ground can not only prevent the invasion of insects and snakes, but also isolate the moisture, in addition to the house between the two cliffs, also use bamboo and wood to build a walkway, the main wood of those walkways are made of excellent spruce, in the humid environment of Yunzhou, those trees that have been cut down have actually given birth to some young shoots.

Although there are clouds, there is still light outside, but the mirage is dark, like a dim night, only to see the flickering lights in the distance, will make people feel a trace of warmth in their hearts.

This mirage is like a mirage in the abyss, illusory and unreachable, but it attracts those who are curious to keep coming here.

Su Jingchen was staring into the distance, but the bamboo window behind him suddenly opened, Su Jingchen and Zhao Feng took a step back to both sides, and then looked at the open window in unison.

The Yunzhou woman who opened the window was stunned, obviously she didn't expect that there would be two people standing outside the window.

When Zhao Feng saw the woman, he suddenly smiled obscenely, and said hello to her, he hadn't seen a woman for almost a month, and now he was a little excited to see such a handsome, scantily well-dressed Yunzhou woman.

I've never seen this face, huh? Is it new? Zhao Feng thought.

But he forgot that he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and that unkempt appearance was just a beggar, if it weren't for the rainy day to cover up the smell on his body a little, that woman might have to close the window directly, and it was difficult for Su Jingchen to endure him all the way, and he didn't say a word of complaint.

The Yunzhou woman who was only wearing a red belly pocket pinched her nose, glared at Zhao Feng, and then turned her head to look at Su Jingchen on the other side.

Seeing Su Jingchen's appearance, the woman was overjoyed, and said in a soft voice, "This little boy, do you want to come to our Yunxiang Building to sit?" If you come, I can give you a discount. ”

I didn't expect this Yunzhou woman to speak an authentic Zhongzhou official dialect!

The woman's chest rose and fell as she spoke, because she was only wearing a belly pocket, her entire smooth back was exposed to Su Jingchen's field of vision, the candlelight in the room was gently sprinkled on her back, just looking at it, it made people feel a trace of warmth in her heart, she looked at Su Jingchen with those smart and charming eyes, every move, as if she was teasing him, in such weather, looking at such a good-looking person, no matter who it was, his heart must be a little restless.

Su Jingchen's face turned red suddenly, he quickly turned his head and said to Zhao Feng behind him, "Let's go." Then he didn't care whether Zhao Feng agreed or not, so he plunged into the rain and went to find the next place to shelter from the rain.

The Yunzhou woman covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes were bent into crescent moons, she looked at the direction Su Jingchen left, and whispered, "I didn't expect it to be a chick." ”

Zhao Feng scolded in a low voice, glanced at the woman a few more times, and then hurriedly followed, "Brother Su!" You wait for me! ”

The woman looked at the direction Su Jingchen left, and suddenly said loudly, "Little boy, my name is Yun Tong!" If you want to come to me in the future, come here and report my name! ”

I don't know if Su Jingchen heard what she said, but Zhao Feng wrote down her name.

Su Jingchen hunched his waist and ran all the way away, and when he could no longer see the bamboo house just now, Su Jingchen finally stopped, he let go of the hand around his chest, and glanced at the little leopard, fortunately it was not wet, the little leopard poked its head out to look at him, and retracted again.

Su Jingchen smiled bitterly, and said in his heart Why weren't you so afraid of life when I met you in the forest?

Zhao Feng ran all the way back against the rain, he stood beside Su Jingchen, wiped the rain from his face, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone, "Brother Su, you run there."

What are you doing? The rain hasn't stopped. ”

"I'm hungry and want something to eat." Su Jingchen casually pulled out a reason.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Feng's stomach suddenly screamed, he touched his stomach, raised his head and looked at Su Jingchen with a smile, and said embarrassedly, "Coincidentally...... I'm also a little hungry. ”

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

A burst of fragrance suddenly came with the wind, Zhao Feng sniffed, squinted his eyes and muttered, "It's so fragrant......"

Su Jingchen turned his head to take a look, and there was actually a restaurant behind him, and the fragrance came from inside.

You've come to the right place......

The layout of the restaurant is almost the same as that of Zhongzhou Restaurant, the first floor eats on the second floor, the only difference is that in addition to the main beams and columns, other things are made of bamboo, there are not many guests in the store at the moment, only two or three tables are scattered, all of them are eating with their heads down, Su Jingchen found a position against the wall and sat down, Xiao Er immediately stepped forward, looked at the two with a signature smile, and said, "Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?" ”

It seems that this little second should be an authentic Zhongzhou person.

Without waiting for Su Jingchen to speak, Zhao Feng opened his mouth, "Brother Su, let me tell you, this family's mountain chicken is a must!" Whether it's clear soup or teriyaki, there's nothing to say about the taste! If you come to their house to eat, you will be sorry for yourself if you don't order mountain chicken! ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhao Feng, who was like a flower, and said, "Hey, this master, a regular customer?" ”

After staying in this restaurant for so long, he has already seen many people like Zhao Feng, when he first got rich, he ate and drank all the best, and when he spent all the money in Yun Mirage, they all became beggars.

Zhao Feng didn't deny it, he still looked at Su Jingchen vigorously, waiting for his reply, Su Jingchen couldn't help it, so he had to nod, "Then let's put on a braised one." ”

"Okay, a braised pheasant." Xiao Er still leaned over and listened, waiting for Su Jingchen to order a dish.

Looking at the posture, do you still want to order? Just two people and a little leopard, there's no need to order so much, right? After hesitating for a moment, Su Jingchen tentatively spoke, "That...... Two more signature side dishes? ”

"Then I'll give you a scrambled egg with Yunzhou bracken, and add a wine-flavored wind weed?"

"Breezweed?" Zhao Feng was suddenly stunned, "What is that?" I've never heard you have this dish before. ”

"It's alfalfa." Su Jingchen explained in a low voice.

"Alfalfa? Isn't that for horses? Zhao Feng suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "Give us what the beasts eat?" Do you still want to open this store? ”

Xiao Er was just about to open his mouth, but Su Jingchen dragged Zhao Feng back to his seat, lowered his voice and said, "Alfalfa is edible in many places south of the Chijiang River, and it is also a special dish over there, you may not have seen it in the north." ”

After speaking, Su Jingchen subconsciously glanced around again, but fortunately, the people around him didn't pay attention, he turned his head to look at Xiao Er, and said sorry softly.

Xiao Er's face was a little ugly, but he didn't say anything, these down-and-out sons have always had a big temper, and he has suffered a lot of anger from them, I didn't expect that someone could apologize to him today, a trace of warmth suddenly rose in his heart, and he turned around and went to the back kitchen.

Zhao Feng lowered his head and knocked on the table boredly, Su Jingchen held a cup of warm tea, looked at the rain outside the window, and after a while, the little second came back.

Zhao Feng turned his head and glanced at Xiao Er, and said suspiciously, "So fast?" ”

Xiao Er gently put down a plate of fried peanuts and said, "The signature peanuts in the store are very fragrant." ”

"It's ...... Send ours? Zhao Feng hesitated to speak.

Su Jingchen didn't say anything, he nodded, thanked him again, and Xiao Er also nodded, turned around and left.

Su Jingchen just turned his head to look out the window, when a voice suddenly sounded next to him, "But Su Jingchen Su Gongzi?" ”

He hurriedly turned around, and standing beside him was a cloud that was less than ten years old

The state boy, he spoke in a not very serious Zhongzhou official dialect, and repeated it again, "But Su Jingchen Su Gongzi? ”

"I am, what's wrong?" Su Jingchen looked at this authentic Yunzhou boy and made sure that his face did not appear in his memory.

"Someone asked me to give this to you." As he spoke, the boy stretched out his hand and put the small and delicate bag into Su Jingchen's hand in a serious manner, and then stretched out his other hand and patted it, making sure that it was very stable, and then let go of his hand.

Su was stunned for a moment, picked up the bag and looked at it, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"I don't know." The boy shook his head.

"And who told you to give me this tip?" Su Jingchen asked again.

"I don't know." The boy still shook his head.

“......”

Su Jingchen waved his hand, and was about to say that you can go, but the boy spoke again, "I only know that gentleman's surname is Xie." ”

"Thanks?"

"The gentleman also said that this is something as important as your life, Childe, don't lose it." The child ignored Su Jingchen's question, and turned around and left after talking to himself.

"What is it?" Zhao Feng stretched his neck, wanting to see what was in this mysterious bag.

Su Jingchen did not shy away from it, and directly opened the bag, which was a finger-long beast tooth, white like delicate porcelain, and the tail of the beast tooth was punched with a small hole, and it was strung with a thick string to make it look like a necklace.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be very ordinary.

"Do you know what this is?" Su Jingchen raised his head and asked Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng shook his head, even though he was "well-informed", he still didn't know what the origin of this important thing as Su Jingchen's life was.

Seeing Zhao Feng shaking his head, Su Jingchen had no choice but to put away the bag, carefully put it in his arms, and put it together with the little leopard, the little leopard didn't move for a while, probably asleep, right? Su Jingchen thought.

After eating, Su Jingchen left a small half bowl of mountain chicken, planning to feed it to the little leopard later, and the rest of the things on the table were eaten clean, even the plate of peanuts was not spared, Zhao Feng burped, touched his stomach, as if he was still a little dissatisfied, he looked at Su Jingchen, but Su Jingchen dispelled his idea of wanting to eat more with a look.

"Seven or eight tenths of this table is all for you, and you're not full?" Su Jingchen asked with a smile.

Zhao Feng scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I've been hungry for a long time, and I still feel a little hungry after eating so much." ”

Su Jingchen shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hand sideways, and said loudly, "Little Er!" ”

Xiao Er trotted all the way and walked in front of Su Jingchen, "This master, but you want to settle the bill?" ”

"Well," Su Jingchen nodded, and then pointed at Zhao Feng, "Bring him a big bowl of Yangchun noodles again, and the account will be settled together." ”

"Gotcha!" Xiao Er responded, and then turned around and roared, "Another big bowl of Yangchun noodles!" ”

"More chopped green onions!" Zhao Fengmei interjected with a smile.

"More chopped green onions!"

After a while, Xiao Er came to Su Jingchen's table again with Yangchun noodles and bills, and said in a brisk tone, "This master, plus Yangchun noodles, is just a silver leaf." ”

Su Jingchen nodded, took out a silver leaf and handed it to Xiao Er, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Xiao Er accepted the money, turned around and returned to the counter, but muttered in his heart, what a strange guest, he was so polite to me, but maybe, this is the son of those rich and noble families, right? Probably this is what Mr. Storyteller calls "suave"?

In fact, this is learned from Li Yiniang, no matter where Li Yiniang goes, no matter who she is, whether it is a beggar on the street, or a master of a large family, Li Yiniang has always been kind, without a trace of perfunctory indifference, let alone a trace of deliberate praise, she will not be stingy with a "thank you" or "sorry", get along with her, no matter who she is, you can feel "gentleness" and "sincerity".
