When Siming came to Longjia Village, he also passed through the city, but at that time, he was sick and sulky, and he didn't look at Tong'an a few times, this time he came into the city with Ouyang Lian, and it was the first time to go to see this place seriously.

The streets of Tong'an are spacious, and two carriages can be squeezed into and fro, and a river that is not very wide runs through the city, and there are many pleasure boats for hire, and there are people who indulge in drinking and singing during the day.

Most of the houses in the city are taller than Baidi City, some restaurants are four or five stories high, and most of the shops on the street are banqueting guests on the first floor, and people live on the second floor.

Siming and Ouyang Lian entered from the south gate, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city didn't look much at it, so they directly let the carriage enter the city. Ouyang Lian in the car was still resting with her eyes closed, until the smell of wine in the city was fragrant, Ouyang Lian suddenly opened her eyes, and then said to Siming with a smile, "Drink two glasses?" I've drunk this one, and it tastes good, just the dishes. Saying that, Ouyang Lian was going to call the driver who was driving the car to stop.

Siming has never liked to drink day and night, and when he saw that Ouyang Lian was going out again, he grabbed her and said, "If you want to go, we will go back now, and let you drink enough at home at one time." ”

Perhaps a little frightened by Siming's tone, Ouyang Lian retreated and said angrily, "If you don't drink, don't drink, what kind of temper do you have, just your stinky temper, you should really be thrown in the mountains to feed the wolves." ”

The two had an awkward quarrel again, and the coachman outside also picked a good time and asked the people in the car, "Miss Lian, Wang Gongzi, there is a book market ahead, do you want to stop?" ”

"Stop here, and wait for us outside the south gate, and after the things are all purchased, we will go back directly." To the coachman, Siming seemed to be more polite.

Without waiting for Siming to get out of the car, Ouyang Lian had already gotten out of the car and walked towards the bookstore. Siming knew that she was still angry, so he just followed all the way and didn't say anything.

After making trouble for a long time, Siming was also a little tired, and shouted in the back, "When I buy paper and pencils, I'll go drink a little, it's okay." ”

Ouyang Lian turned around and said with a smile, "I have changed my mind, wait for you to accompany me to a place, and we won't go drinking." ”

It can't be worse than drinking, Siming nodded, thinking to himself, and said that he would take me for a walk, but he just satisfied his idea of coming out.

After Siming bought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, she was still taken by Ouyang Lian to where she wanted to go. I don't know how many alleys they went around, how many streets they crossed, and the two of them came to a rather remote place, and the originally wide road became narrow, and the clean streets no longer existed, and there were some peddlers and pawns everywhere, sitting crookedly in all corners.

The dress of the two of them also seemed a little abrupt here, Siming pulled Ouyang Lian's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?" ”

Ouyang Lian didn't care about these at all, she walked forward by herself, saw that there were fried chestnuts sold in front of her, and bought a pack of peeled chestnuts on the side of the road to eat, handed it to Siming, and saw that he didn't eat it and ate it happily.

At the end of this alley, Ouyang Lian finally arrived at the place where she was going, entered the gate with a familiar car, and then lifted the curtain to enter. The room was filled with smoke, and from time to time there were a few shouts such as 'big' and 'small', and many people went out in despair.

Ouyang Lian was about to take the silver to do a big job, but was pulled by Siming, who couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a low voice, "This is the place where you want to come?" ”

"yes, this is it, do you wait for me for a while, or do you want to play too?" has come here, Ouyang Lian will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Siming naturally didn't want to stay here, to smell the smell of sweat, and to see these people indulge in obvious deceptions, he immediately said to Ouyang Lian unhappily, "I'll wait for you outside." ”

The snow in the city naturally seemed to melt faster than in the mountains, and in just one night and one morning, there was no trace of snow to be seen, but there was the sound of running water in the canals everywhere, and the dirty water on the uneven streets.

Siming found a clean place and waited, thinking that she would not play for a long time, and then she would come out, the time of one tea passed, and no one came out, and the time of another tea passed, and no one came out.

Siming was a little impatient, and entered the casino again, only to find that Ouyang Lian was entangled with a group of people arguing with the dealer, clamoring to check whether there was a problem with the dealer's sieve.

Breaking away the crowd, Siming wanted to walk over and see the specific situation, but he squinted and saw a familiar face, which he would not forget! Although Siming is not a person who will never forget, he can always remember those who have made enemies with him, this person is none other than the person who came to block the road in the mountains, I thought it would be a person from Baidi City, and I didn't want to see it here.

The man also obviously recognized Siming, and immediately walked back, and after a while, another person also looked this way, but it was someone he hadn't seen before. Siming became more and more confused about the details of the other side, afraid that the enemy would come again, and the two would not be able to resist. Regardless of whether Ouyang Lian was arguing or not, Siming rushed to the front of the crowd, grabbed her wrist and ran out.

Maybe it was menacing, and before anyone present could react, Siming had already pulled Ouyang Lian out of the door and ran to the street. Siming didn't know the way, and after bypassing the alley a few times, he lost his original direction, and when he looked back, he felt that everyone seemed to be chasing his enemy.

When she was in a hurry, Ouyang Lian was still angry in the back, and said, "What are you doing with me running, I'm going to go back and lift the gambling stall, and even dare to cheat my money, I really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall." ”

When she didn't choose the road in a panic, it was easiest to choose the wrong way, Siming ignored her, and went around the alley, but it was a dead end, and then looked at the alley outside, all of the unfamiliar faces seemed to be the enemies attracted by that person.

At this time, Ouyang Lian also noticed something abnormal, and asked cautiously, "Have you seen the enemy?" After speaking, he looked at the alley again, and subconsciously protected Siming behind him, as if he was walking a dart on weekdays.

Siming felt that her red clothes were too eye-catching, so he took off his coat to her, and said, "Cover your red clothes first." I don't know how many people the man called, but when we go out later, you will lead the way, and we will go up to the south gate as soon as possible. ”

"It's not my enemy, if you want me to see, it's your face that is the most obstructive." Despite saying this, Ouyang Lian still put her clothes on, gave Siming a camel bell, and said, "Wait a minute, you have to follow me." With that, he went out of the alley, signaling to follow clearly.

Maybe it was Ouyang Lian's words that worked, and Siming also covered his face with his sleeve, but it was completely useless for some people, and before the two of them had gone far, they were hugged by the girl who ran from behind, and shouted loudly, "Brother Qiao, why are you here." ”

Hearing this voice, Siming also seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around, and said to the girl, "Ah Pan, why are you here?" ”

Before Gu Pan could answer, Ouyang Lian in the back had already covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "Isn't she just guarding here?" ”

It turned out that she knew that what she just said about the rattle was just to tease herself, Siming was a little annoyed, glanced at Ouyang Lian angrily, and said to Gu Pan again, "Did you see any strange people following us just now?" ”

Gu Pan thought about it, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Whoever dares to make trouble on this street will be guarded everywhere." As he spoke, he pointed to a few corners, and sure enough, someone was looking over here and nodded at Gu Pan.

The embarrassed appearance just now was all seen by these people, Siming's face was red and white for a while, and he asked Gu Pan again, can these people use some of them to find someone.

Gu Pan was embarrassed, and said awkwardly, "Brother Ping said that this winter is not peaceful, and these people can't be sent to other places casually." Are you looking for someone? Brother Qiao, I'll go with you to find it. ”

It was good to have Gu Pan to follow, so Siming asked Ouyang Lian to take it around the casino again, but after going around a few times, he didn't see those two people again.

It was almost noon, and Siming couldn't continue to pursue it, so he had to go back to the Long family's restaurant with Gu Pan, and only after the wine and food were enough, he went back to the village with Ouyang Lian.

On the way, Siming was naturally still angry, and didn't pay attention to her coming over again and again to show goodwill, thinking that if Gu Pan hadn't come over just now, this person would have to take him around the city, so he was angry, he really played himself like a monkey, and even the coat that had been draped on her body was mocking herself, and she would buy a new one another day.

After the carriage drove into the village, Siming went back to the house by himself, and when he went to the study, he saw that his uncle was also inside, and when he saw Siming coming, he quickly put a book down.

Siming walked over to look at it, but it was a medical book, and asked with a slight frown, "When did you become interested in practicing medicine?" After reading this book, it can't cure the disease, what do you seem to do? ”

Gu Wende smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "It's boring, just take a look." You went to buy paper and pencils, why don't you go directly to the Long family's treasury to get it, and you have to go to the city for a special trip. ”

This grease mouth has never asked anything, if it wasn't really forced on the head, he would only play haha, Siming didn't care what he was doing, only replied, "His things are uncomfortable to use, so he can buy them more freely." ”

After a while, Siming asked again, "Ah Pan stays here, it's useful to have some use, you, an aunt who is not right, are you embarrassed to eat rice here?" ”

"Fathers are more expensive than daughters, do you understand! I'm here to eat his rice for decades. Gu Wende didn't know who to be angry with, so he walked out of the study as he spoke, and he didn't know where he went.

"It's reasonable." Siming smiled, then took out the inkstone and grinded it himself.
