Jun Qinglan was taken aback, she still understood Rong Xi's temperament. The man had a calm personality and always greeted people with a smiling face, and all his emotions were hidden in his smile.

However, at this moment, his voice has changed to emphasis, if it is not something terrible, how can it be so?

Li Congyao naturally didn't dare to delay, and called softly: "Come in." ”

Rong Xi only raised his eyes and looked at it slightly, then bowed to Li Congyao and saluted: "Son, early this morning, many brothers in the camp were infected with the cold. Weak and tired, I'm afraid it's ...... It's going to be delayed. ”

"This place is very close to the Lingshui River, I am afraid that it will be contaminated with the moisture in the river, which will lead to the wind evil entering the body."

Jun Qinglan frowned slightly: "The weather is cold now, if it is really infected with the wind cold, you must control it immediately, so as not to cause a large-scale outbreak." ”

In order to hide their whereabouts, they never stop in one place too long. Once more than one person is infected with wind cold, it is inevitable to stop and repair. Time is secondary, and if you leak the line, it's not a joke.

"Uncle Liu, go and take a look."

"Okay." Liu Buyen quickly packed up the medicine box and went out with Rong Xi.

For a while, only Jun Qinglan and Li Congyao were left in the room, looking at a completely unfamiliar face, which was more or less awkward.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today, let's go out for a walk." Li Congyao opened his mouth lightly.

"Okay."

Jun Qinglan has not returned to Nanyang County for a long time. The personnel of the hometown have long been scabbed scars in memory, and they dare not touch them. If you don't want to miss it, it's false.

"It's my first time here in Nanyang County, and I'm not familiar with it, so it's up to you to decide today."

"Okay." Jun Qinglan didn't think much about it, and picked up a thick cloak to put it on for Li Congyao: "This place is not as good as Yanjing, the land is vast and sparsely populated. When it's cold, I don't even have a place to hide, so I still have to wear thicker. ”

"Yes." Li Congyao nodded: "Listen to you." ”

The two of them came out of the woods one after the other. There is still some distance from Daliang City, and the weather has not yet warmed up, there are not many pedestrians, and the two of them do not speak, just walk forward slowly. The slightly cold air was a little moist with a bit of moisture, mixed with the faint smell of mud and sand, and Jun Qinglan knew that it was not far from the Lingshui River.

"In front is the Lower Bayou Pier. Goods to and from the girders are usually transferred here and transported to various places by river. When I left six years ago, the Lower Bayou was already on a large scale and quite lively. Shall we check it out? ”

Li Congyao hooked the corner of his lips: "I said, everything today is up to you." If you want to go, I'll go with you. ”

"Then ......." Jun Qinglan took a look at Li Congyao, he was now completely different from before. His appearance is even more ordinary, and there doesn't seem to be any danger even if he walks in the crowd.

So, she opened her mouth decisively: "Then let's take a look." ”

At this moment, the red sun is already hanging high, and the weather in February is warm and cold, but it is not as cold as it is under the year. Walking in the sun, you can also feel a bit of warm early spring. Jun Qinglan's hazy mood for days has gradually unfolded with the warm sun.

The Xiahekou Wharf is built on the side of the Lingshui River, this section of the river is directly connected with the Daliang River, the water flow is turbulent, and the river surface is very wide. Under the red sun, a majestic river winds its way past you. The Lingshui River is different from all the rivers in the world, and it contains so much sediment that the whole river has become a dull yellow color like sediment. The landform of the Lingshui River outside the city of Daliang is the most peculiar, because the sediment content in the river is too heavy, the accumulation and precipitation of many years and months, the river water has been higher than the ground in the city. It has become a rare wonder of hanging rivers on the ground.

Therefore, extremely high embankments need to be cast along the banks of the girder to prevent the backflow of the Lingshui River, and the lower estuary is the starting point of the thousand-mile embankment. Standing here, you can clearly see the river roaring past like thousands of horses, mercilessly slapping the embankment, making a crackling and roaring sound, like thunder, which shocks people's hearts.

"When I was young, my father would often go in and out of Daliang to run errands, and I always liked to take him with me, and this small estuary always came, and every time I came, I would take a look at the Lingshui River on the embankment. At that time, I was ignorant and always felt that the river was beautiful and tight, and all my troubles disappeared when I stood here and looked at it, so I thought it was a sacred river with magical powers. ”

Thinking of the things of his childhood, Jun Qinglan's eyes seemed to be stained with a little warm sunshine, bright and warm.

Li Congyao stood beside her and looked at her with a good look. It was about close, and it seemed to be infected by her warm smile, and the light frost in the narrow phoenix eyes melted little by little, raising a melting warmth.

"It's nothing more than the magnificent vastness of Lingshui, which makes people open-minded." He said in a low voice, "It turns out that you have such a ...... When you are innocent. ”

When it came to the cuteness of his mouth, he was finally replaced by Li Congyao with another word. However, that word was left in Li Congyao's heart, and his cheeks gradually reddened.

"Huh?" Jun Qinglan suddenly looked back, and looked around under the river embankment with clear eyes: "Did you smell anything?" ”

"Taste?" Li Congyao was stunned, in addition to the damp smell of the mist raised by the river, there were other smells here?

"It's the scent." Jun Qinglan sniffed hard, and her eyes immediately lit up: "It's spicy soup!" Come on! ”

After saying this, her whole body seemed to be cheerful, pulled Li Congyao's fingers, and ran towards the river embankment without saying anything. When she got down the embankment, she was not busy, she kept her head high and smelled around, walking and stopping, and seemed to have no direction at all.

Li Congyao didn't speak, let her pull, and walked around like a fly without her head.

"That's it!" Jun Qinglan's voice became brisk, and she pulled Li Congyao and ran to a tavern on the side of the road.

The dock was not a noble place in the first place, and most of the people who came in and out were coolies. There was only one façade in this tavern on the street of the lower estuary, and there was a guise of nonsense outside the door, which was crackled by the river breeze. The whole store looks gray, not bright at all, and it is also messy, very noisy.

Such a place is really incommensurate with Li Congyao's identity. However, Li Congyao's eyebrows only picked slightly, and he entered the door with Jun Qinglan without hesitation.

Although the tavern is not big, there are a lot of people inside. The eight tables in the lobby were all filled with people, all of whom were coolies on the docks. One by one, they drank in large bowls of coarse porcelain. The charcoal basin in the tavern was burned red, and there was a thick curtain filled with cotton at the door, so I didn't feel cold at all when I entered the house.

Jun Qinglan unbuttoned her cloak slightly, raised her eyes and looked around for a long time, but never found an empty table. He let out a long sigh, somewhat disappointed.

"It's a bad luck that the two guest officers came." The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile: "The shop is not empty today, why don't you come back later?" ”

"You're ......." Jun Qinglan glanced at the shopkeeper, and her heart suddenly trembled. This man...... She actually knew each other.

"You're Huber?" Jun Qinglan's eyes suddenly became thick, and the sour smell in her nose made her almost speechless.

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was stunned: "Does the guest officer recognize me?" ”

It's not just recognizable, it's all too familiar!

The shopkeeper surnamed Hu has spent many spring and autumn seasons in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion and is the chef of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion. He is not from Nanyang County, he is said to be from the Western Regions, and he is good at cooking some strange food, which was Jun Qinglan's favorite. In addition, she has liked those unusual and new things since she was a child, so she always likes to pester Chef Hu and ask him to talk about the customs of the Western Regions.

Therefore, Jun Qinglan was very familiar with this Chef Hu. Although Chef Hu somehow left the Jiedu Embassy when she was ten years old, Jun Qinglan still thinks of him from time to time.

I never thought that I could meet him again here. But there has already been a huge change in personnel.

Shopkeeper Hu looked at Jun Qinglan for a long time, he naturally never recognized such an ordinary and ordinary face, so he smiled kindly and said: "Forgive me for being so clumsy, I can't recognize the guest officer." Could you please give us a little reminder? ”

Jun Qinglan closed her eyes fiercely, and her emotions were really exposed. When I opened it again, I had already regained clarity.

"I followed my son-in-law to traffic goods from south to north, and one year I happened to pass through the Guanzhou capital. At that time, I was fortunate to taste your craftsmanship in the mansion of Lord Qin, and I will never forget it again. ”

"I see." Shopkeeper Hu laughed and said, "That's really fateful." Since they are old people, why do you have to leave the two of you to rest for a while today, if you don't dislike it, how about the two of you go to the private room to eat? ”

Jun Qinglan nodded: "Then it's bothering." ”

The so-called private room and the lobby are only separated by a curtain, and it is a small room with a small area. There was only one table in the room, and at most eight people could sit at this table.

"This was originally a place for my fellow men to eat, so please two of you."

Shopkeeper Hu personally wiped the table and invited Jun Qinglan and Li Congyao to sit down, but he didn't ask Jun Qinglan what he wanted to eat. Instead, he pulled a chair and sat beside the two, lowered his voice and said softly: "Since you can eat at the same table with Lord Qin, you are not an outsider. I look at the two face-to-face students, who don't come to Nanyang County very often, so I still remind the two of you not to mention Lord Qin casually in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to yourself. ”

The Qin family was destroyed because of the rebellion, which was really not glorious in Yanjing. Where would anyone dare to provoke such a crime? If one can't get it right, if he asks someone to be killed as a member of the party, isn't it reasonable to explain?

Jun Qinglan understands this reason, and Shopkeeper Hu is completely taking them as his own, so he will kindly remind them.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

"Why be so polite, it's right to take care of something when you go out. I wonder what you want to eat? The shopkeeper Hu said with a smile: "This is not as good as the state capital, the guests order some home-cooked dishes, and the materials can not be found for things that are too particular." ”

Jun Qinglan lifted the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "I don't want anything else, I just want to drink a bowl of hot spicy soup." ”

Shopkeeper Hu was stunned, and looked at Jun Qinglan for a moment: "You say...... What the? ”
