Chapter Eighty-Five: Leaving Home
After the tea party, the lively eastern suburbs returned to their usual appearance, bustling with a few tourists, and the rest were locals rushing to the market. There is also a shop in the eastern suburbs of Majia, the two are busy, Wu Qing is still in the back kitchen, making tea and making snacks, and Xiao Jian is outside to pick up customers and sell some tea. The scene in the shop is no different from when Liang Tian was there, but after a period of pastry and food, when it was opened again, it was much more deserted.
When it was almost evening, the last guest also returned home, Xiao Jian and the two of them were free, and they came out to clean up the table together, and they didn't know who started it, and suddenly said Liang Tian.
"Did you say Miss Liang really didn't come? I saw that Wang Dongjia had a very close relationship with her before, and I heard that people often ate together. Xiao Jian asked first.
Wu Qing finished the work in his hand, rested, and then said, "Don't spread these rumors, Miss Liang shouldn't come, Wang Dongjia has taken over, and I will also give you the list to remember." โ
"Don't say it, Miss Liang is not here, it's a lot deserted here, and the tea is sold a lot." Xiao Jian glanced at the shop, he didn't think it was very spacious before, but now he feels that it is indeed a little spacious as a tea shop.
Wu Qing sat aside, got a cup of cold boiled water, drank it himself, and said, "After the tea party is over, there will be fewer people." Don't you know, after the tea merchant transports all the tea away, the whole tea mountain is empty. My parents should also go to my grandfather's house, and I don't know if they are leaving now. โ
"Aren't you going?" Xiao Jian asked
Wu Qing replied, "If I don't go this year, I will go to this shop and you will be left alone, how can you be busy." โ
Xiao Jian accepted the favor and said with a smile, "If your brother is righteous enough, I won't treat you badly." Walk! When the door closes, I'll invite you to eat noodles and cut two taels of beef. The two of them said that they were about to close the door.
Unfortunately, I ran into a black shadow running over, holding the door with one hand, panting and saying, "Don't close the door yet, I have something to do." Xiao Jian hurriedly withdrew his hand and welcomed the man in, but it was Fang Yong, who couldn't help but say, "Who is it, it turned out to be you kid, you haven't come to see us for so long, have you received your previous salary?" โ
When he took a breath, Fang Yong's tone was a little more relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Received, isn't this coming to see you?" My girl still has some packages here, I'll pick them up, have you eaten? Let's go eat together. โ
When Xiao Jian heard this, he was a little unhappy, and said with a pulled face, "Then you go up and get it, even your own." โ
Wu Qing saw that Xiao Jian's temper came up, so he had to appease him, and the other party Yong said, "He just feels cold and unaccustomed, I'll clean up with you, and wait to eat noodles at the noodle restaurant next door, just so he has a treat." โ
When Fang Yong was here, he also quarreled with Xiao Jian, and he didn't take that to heart, he only stayed for a few days, and he didn't have the idea of remembering, so he took the package, went downstairs, and went to eat with the two.

Since Ah Wu followed the current owner, he has never seen such a depressed owner, and there have been times when he was bored before, but he can still stand it, since he came back drunk that day, the state of the owner has been getting worse day by day, and the time spent in the room has been longer than before.
Ah Wu occasionally went to talk about some rumors about Baidi City, but it didn't attract the attention of the owner, and this morning Wu Qing said that Miss Liang's luggage in the eastern suburbs was taken away, and the owner didn't say anything.
After bringing breakfast to the house as usual, Ah Wu continued to run around the inn, at this time, there were often more guests checking out than checking in, and the guys in the inn were also happy, and three or five people gathered in the back kitchen to shake the dice, and no one would blame.
When I sent lunch, the owner said something after a long absence, let me pack my luggage, and I was going to leave the day after tomorrow, and when Ah Wu wanted to ask something more, he was also bombarded out.
After lunch, Ah Wu rested on the table in the hall, and in less than a quarter of an hour, someone came over and knocked on the table, which frightened Ah Wu and looked at it, it was Fang Yong.
"What are you doing? You're going to scare me to death. After knowing that it was an acquaintance, Ah Wu also let go of his words.
Fang Yong didn't reply to him, took out a purse from his cuff and handed it to Ah Wu, saying, "This is our girl who returned it to your host, you hand it over, and I won't go." โ
The owner had a conflict with Miss Liang, and Ah Wu had heard about it, especially Fang Yong's attitude was clearer, so he replied, "Thanks to you coming early, our owner will go out later." โ
"Out of the house?"
Seeing the stubble on the other side, Ah Wu said again, "I will go out the day after tomorrow to deliver the tea merchant, and I don't know when I will come back." โ
After Fang Yong left, Ah Wu went to the backyard again and handed the purse to the owner. The owner's face became even more gloomy, and he became more and more silent.
In the evening, Ah Wu finally stopped looking forward to Miss Liang's sudden arrival, and the two of them were afraid that they would disperse like this. It's really a waste of his hard work, if he lets the owner know that he has revealed his whereabouts, he will have to be scolded, and this can only be hidden. The luggage that I prepared at noon was not just to the extent of going out for ten days and a half months, but I was afraid that when I came back, this white city would be autumn.
When it was almost evening the next day, Miss Liang was still coming, but a stranger sent a package, indicating that it was for the owner, and Ah Wu knocked on the door and gave the heavy package to the owner.
Who knows, when the owner saw the package, he immediately panicked and asked the person who delivered the package. Ah Wu hurriedly chased after him, but never saw the man again.
After that, there was nothing else.
Just like driving to the dock to pick up people before, Ah Wu sent the owner out again. The tea merchant's fleet was indeed majestic, with five large ships in front of and behind, each of which was followed by many men, and Ah Wu was looking at it.
Siming took out a silver ingot from his body, gave it to Ah Wu, and said, "I don't know if I came back when you got married, you took this ingot of silver in case you needed it." โ
Ah Wu, who had suffered a cold face for a few days, finally saw the sunny day, and immediately said gratefully, "Dongjia, you can go, there is me in this inn, as long as I still have a breath, I will definitely protect this inn." โ
"What kind of bad words, what can happen to a small inn in a remote place. If there is anything, you can write to me, and I will give you the address when I get there. โ
When the two of them were about to say something else, two Ma family's cars also came, the first one came down with Li Ming and Ma Bin, and the latter car sat with Pinyuan and Mingxin.
Siming had to let Ah Wu go back, took a few steps forward by himself, and said, "Uncle Ma, Li Dongjia, it's early." When Ma Bin saw Siming, he also paced over and said, "It's all up to you this time, you don't have to come back in a hurry, after everything is ready, send a letter home, I and Pinyuan are waiting for you here." โ
Siming received the order, and another pin Yuan stepped forward and said, "Third brother, you have to come back early, you are running outside, and you must pay attention to safety in everything." โ
Mingxin also wanted to step forward and say something, but he didn't say a word until the end, and only gave Siming a talisman that he begged from the temple.
After the person who saw off the guest and the person who left the country exchanged a few more words, a boatman came over and said, "Host, the ship is about to sail, don't miss the auspicious time." โ
Li Ming seemed to be waiting for a word, turned around and said to Ma Bin, "Master Ma, I'm going back here, looking forward to the new tea in the coming year." โ
Ma Bin also returned the salute with a smile on his face, "Ma is waiting for good news here." โ
Hurt and parted, although Siming is not from this Baidi City, he is very sad every time he leaves, not to mention that this time he has a little more reluctance and hatred in his heart.
That day, since the unpleasant reunion between Siming and Mingyi, Siming's heart was like pressing a big stone, and he couldn't move it, and when he wanted to grab something, he was greeted by a demonstration by the Liang family.
In a fit of anger, Siming shook off the cruel words and went home, there was still a little more anger before, and he could get drunk and rest. After that, there was endless loneliness, leaving an empty body in this world. The man didn't seem to be happy, blindly sprinkled salt on this wound, took away the remaining traces in the eastern suburbs, and even returned the handkerchiefs and bracelets he had given before, and they were all broken, finally burning out Siming's last hope.
Because Siming can't forget his old friend, he also thought about not disappointing other people, and the only way is to live this life alone. But when Liang Tian approached him, he still couldn't hold back, and after being hurt, Siming wanted warmth more and more, and he never thought that she could always be as warm as the spring breeze when she first met, but she still couldn't end it.
"Wang Dongjia, are you not feeling well?" Since getting on the boat, Li Ming has noticed that this Wang Dongjia is very absent-minded, whether it is his own buddies or the Ma family's own buddies, the people who come and go are nothing in front of him.
When Siming heard someone calling him, he came back to his senses and said to Li Mingzuo, "Thank you Li Dongjia for your concern, when I first got on the boat, I was always a little unaccustomed." โ
Hearing this, Li Ming smiled and said, "At the beginning of the year, I was really embarrassed for you, and I couldn't take a boat very much, so I came from afar to invite people, and in the end I couldn't help the Ma family sell out the tea." โ
Siming said, "After a long time, I got used to it, and I was not very happy, but I had heard that Li Dongjia didn't often go out, but he didn't get seasick." โ
As the two spoke, the boat had gone far away, all the way through the mountains and mountains, and headed north.
Li Ming looked at the continuous green mountains and replied, "That's all later, when I was still at your age, I also ran from south to north, maybe farther than you, and I have been to Nanyang and Northern Xinjiang." Before going out this time, I was worried about whether I could bear it when I was old, but I didn't expect it to be no different from before, and I came all the way. โ
Siming complimented again, "Li Dongjia is in the prime of life, and he is so young. This body, even if it is eighteen or nineteen years old, may not be comparable. โ
Li Ming laughed, and invited Siming to drink tea in the cabin and talk about tea. Siming also barely coped, but after arriving at the cabin, the feeling of being watched became more and more intense, and as soon as he left the border of Baidi City, there were people in the shadows who couldn't stay. Is it Li Ming's person, or is it Li Ming, Siming was a little unclear, and while dealing with Li Ming, he paid more attention to the situation around him quietly.
