Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Restaurant
The weather was getting colder, and the snow was falling one after another, piling up on the pavement. It looks like thick white bricks laid on the ground.
Early in the morning, a few people came out with brooms to clear the snow.
The gate of the Southern Void Sword Pavilion was closed for a few days, and several bearded swordsmen stopped to watch.
One of them said: "I inquired with the junior second of the Sword Pavilion before, and he said that the owner of the Sword Pavilion is coming from the side of the house these days. I'm busy preparing for the reception, so I won't be open for the next few days. β
They all came from far away, just to find one or two good swordsmanship here, hoping to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes. Although it was impossible to go home, he made up his mind that he had to wait for the Sword Pavilion to open.
After a while, snow began to fall in the sky again. Several people patted the snow on their bodies, cursed the bad luck, and turned around to leave. But I heard the sound of pushing the door behind me, and a girl in blue came out of the door.
Several people surrounded her and asked, "Girl, we are all here to visit, but the Sword Pavilion is open to welcome guests?" β
Manyue shook her head, "A few more days." β
The people opened their mouths to say something more, but Manyue crossed their shoulders and saw a familiar figure, stood on tiptoe and beckoned and shouted, "Master-"
The red-clothed woman at the end came slowly holding an old oil-paper umbrella, and the eyebrows and eyes of the person under the umbrella were as bright as the sun, making people unable to take their eyes off. The red clothes and white snow, like a picture scroll woven with clouds in the nine heavens, are very unreal.
Manyue ran over and took Suzaku's arm and walked back together. The swordsmen looked at it blankly, Suzaku glanced at it a few times, and when he saw a young swordsman, he suddenly paused and stopped.
"You're here to buy swordsmanship?" She asked.
The young swordsman nodded, his hand under his cloak clenching the shriveled money bag.
"I'm looking at you, come in."
The young swordsman was stunned for a while, and it wasn't until they entered the Sword Pavilion that they realized that they had followed. Although the rest of the people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak, so they could only wait a few days to come again.
Manyue pointed to the shelf and said to him, "Hey, the books are all on the shelf, find what you want." β
Seeing that the young man turned to the back of the shelf, Manyue asked Suzaku, "Does the master know him?" β
Suzaku took a sip of hot tea and said ambiguously: "It's not an acquaintance." β
That's the recognition. Manyue couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart, "No, why did the master help him?" β
"Help, how do you know I'm helping him?"
has been in the world for a long time, although she is not proficient in the ability to observe words and colors, she has also learned two or three points. He is about the same age as the boys around Zixiu, but he is a swordsman at a young age, so his family background must not be too good. His brows were always furrowed, and he stood at the door of the Sword Pavilion with a heavy heart, perhaps the swordsmanship in the Sword Pavilion was very important to him.
Moreover, there are too many unsatisfactory people gathered around Manyue, and it can be seen at a glance that this young man must also have something unpleasant.
She told Suzaku these things. Suzaku touched her head, "It seems that you have learned a lot from this experience." β
"I helped him, but I looked at him familiarly, like an old friend of mine. Come to think of it, if it was really that old man, many of his current sufferings are also caused by me. One report after another, just to make each other feel better. Suzaku looked faint, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic again.
So she turned to say, "What happened to that Sun Divine Monarch?" β
As soon as it came to Lu Changfeng, Manyue was interested when he landed. Hearing her say a lot, Suzaku suddenly asked, "Does Aman know what liking is?" It's not the same as what you like about gadgets......"
Manyue looked serious: "I know." I like Lu Changfeng, I like him from the first time I saw him, although I don't know why. But I just wanted to be with him, and I just didn't say anything. β
Suzaku smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth and looked at her lovingly. It's just cause and effect, your life is given by him, and you will naturally be attracted to him.
"Does the master have a favorite person?" Manyue saw that she was mostly touched by the scene, and couldn't help asking.
Suzaku stretched out his hand, and his slightly cool fingertips pressed on the warm eye sockets, "Yes, yes......" But when was that, too long had passed, and when it was time to mention that person, it was obviously so unhappy, but only numbness remained.
Suzaku took a deep breath, took out a nameless sword technique, and handed it to Manyue. "You go and give it to the boy, you don't have to take any money from him. It's time for me to go, too. β
She came to investigate the affairs of the undead, and stopped by to see the wild moon. There is no need to stay long.
She picked up the oil-paper umbrella and went out. Manyue doesn't do much to stay, the master has always come and gone without a trace, and he used to be in Nanxu, and he often didn't see anyone.
The young man hurriedly followed Suzaku's footsteps, saw the swaying red, and shouted, "Yingfuβ"
Suzaku stopped, but didn't look back at him, "You should go back too." From now on, I will not see you again. "The sound is loud, and it is the biggest snow in the world.
He kept reciting the words, "You won't see me again...... looking almost crazy. Suddenly remembering something, he stood up and stumbled back.
He leaned his back against the cold wall and looked sideways at the street. Manyue closed the door, locked it, and shook the key in her hand. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the entrance of the street.
I remembered the way Suzaku talked to her in the Sword Pavilion...... The corners of the young man's mouth curled slightly, "You'll meet me." β
The daily trajectory of Manyue is almost the same, either the Sword Pavilion or the post house, and from time to time I go to the East Market for a walk. It's boring.
Coincidentally, I met Cao Zhengming today. Behind him, he led a large group of fox friends and dogs, and escorted a beautiful girl into a tavern. The girl's face was filled with tears, and she looked reluctant.
Many people on the street saw it, and they didn't dare to go up to stop it, after all, no one dared to touch the moldy head of this Shengjing bully.
Manyue rolled up her sleeves, since others didn't dare, then let's see how she, a heroine, punishes evil and promotes good. She stepped forward menacingly, but several girls dressed in bright clothes next to the door stopped her, "Little girl, this is not the place for you to come, go home quickly." β
"Why can't I come?"
The girl covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Go back and ask your family." "Seeing that these people don't plan to let her in, the mountain people have their own tricks and seem to be able to stop her.
The moon crept around to the back of the tavern, and when she saw that there was no one around, she jumped over the wall. She walked down the corridor to the front yard, where several couples of men and women hugged each other and passed her.
The gorgeously dressed girl on the stage threw her sleeves, her figure was graceful, her lotus steps moved lightly, and her every move was amorous. There is also a stage in the tavern, what kind of rule is this, I have never seen it before. After all, she doesn't drink and has never been in a tavern.
There were people coming and going in the lobby, and after looking around, Manyue didn't see Cao Zhengming. She was wondering what to do, there were people who were not afraid of death looking for hardship.
"This little girl is very good-looking, newcomer, I haven't seen ...... before" The man looked at Manyue and stretched out his hand to her as he spoke.
Manyue grabbed the man's finger and twisted it hard, and the man immediately screamed in pain, "Do you know Cao Zhengming?" The man hesitated, and she used a little more force. He was sweating profusely in pain: "Know, know, know." β
"Where is he now?" The man raised his other hand and pointed to a room on the second floor. Manyue let go of him.
She walked up to the second floor, and the man led a few servants to catch up. With a hideous face, "Little girl, dare to hit the master, the master will let you walk around today without eating." β
A few small guys swarmed up, and Manyue's three punches and two feet were all put down. She put her hand on the railing and looked at the man condescendingly, "There are a few more people, all called." Your aunt and grandmother won't be able to eat and walk around today. β
Their movements alarmed the tavern guards, who approached each with sticks in hand. Seeing them fighting in such a big battle, Manyue felt bad, as if she was in trouble.
The corridor on the second floor is narrow and cannot be opened. Manyue didn't want to fight them, so she turned around and ran, and the people behind her chased after her.
There was chaos in the tavern, with wine falling from the second floor, and the screams of girls everywhere. Manyue pushed away the people who were in front of her, the girl screamed, Manyue picked up a fruit and gagged her mouth, "Shhh, don't make noise." β
