Down!

In fact, I didn't stay long in Baiyun Taoist Temple, but it was just a few days. But Pretty Eda felt as if years had passed.

When I sent Ah Rong and Ah Yi and the two children back, I happened to meet the returning Shouwen Taoist. may have stayed with Li Wangsheng for a long time, and Shouwen also has a bit of that mysterious quality on his body. He smiled at the pretty branches with empty hands and a free face, and his face was clear: "Miss Yu is going down the mountain?" ”

"Hmm." Qiaozhi nodded, and there was a sudden surprise in her smile that she had never seen before, "Shouwen Dao Chief, thank you." ”

Shouwen also looked at her and smiled, looking at her bright eyebrows gently, "It seems that the tutor and the girl have a good chat." ”

Although I don't know what Li Wusheng talked about with her, but looking at the eyebrows and eyes, the darkness that lingered between the eyebrows before has been replaced by brightness, and the smile is a little more real and a little less lonely.

That's it.

"That's it, Shouwen Dao Chief, you don't have to send it anymore." When it was finally time to separate, Qiao Zhi smiled and clenched his fists towards Shouwen, "I will definitely visit again another day when I have time." ”

Shouwen stood on the side of the fork in the road, and didn't insist any longer, only nodded. It wasn't until Qiaozhi and Bai Jian's backs gradually disappeared that he whispered goodbye.

The low voice was blown away by the wind, and the fallen leaves drifted to unknown corners. He stood silently for a moment before turning to leave.

"Alas... I'm so tired..."Qiaozhi bent down and hammered her sore calf, feeling that death was squatting on her lap, "It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, but today I have really experienced it." ”

"It's the reason why you didn't move in the past." Bai Jian glanced at her calmly, put her hands behind her head, and chewed a weed in her mouth decently, "You know that you take the carriage, and now you regret it, right?" ”

... Pretty branches grind their teeth, and the thought of this makes me angry! Their carriage had stopped on a path not far from the top of the mountain, but when they arrived, they saw only a pile of weeds trembling in the wind.

Where's my car? What about my big car! Pretty Branches are incompetent and furious.

It was only at this time that Bai Jian shook a mouthful of white teeth and told her that Xiuzhu was driving a carriage down the mountain, and it was originally agreed that Xiuzhu would come to pick it up in person in a few days, but who made Qiaozhi so anxious to go down the mountain? That is naturally respectful rather than obedient.

Pretty Eda is sure that this must be his revenge! What is temporary, what will be picked up in a few days, all of them are fake! Bai Jian is a villain who will be retribution!

Isn't it just the inevitability of getting fat after marriage... As for holding a grudge for so long!

Qiaozhi was silent, shaking the two dead man's legs and trying to keep up with Bai Jian, while scolding Bai Jian in his heart.

"I'm talking about White Hero." Almost halfway up the mountain, Qiao Zhi still couldn't help but speak, "Do you martial arts practitioners know how to do light exercises or something?" ”

"Hmm. Oh, yes. Bai Jian raised half of her eyebrows, as if smiling, "Miss Yu asked what are you doing with these?" ”

"That..."Pretty Eda decided to forget about her suspicions for a while, and smiled at him flatteringly, "Then you must be very good at light work, right?" Isn't it okay...."Fly with me or something?"

"It's not good to meet you." Bai Jian snorted lightly, "After all, according to Miss Yu's opinion, Bai Mou has not been a few years away from becoming fat, so it is better to cherish the current time." ”

What a fallacy this is! Qiaozhi's nose was about to be crooked: "Then doesn't Bai Daxia consider using his slender body in the past few years to bring a weak woman to experience double light skills?" ”

"No, no, no." Bai Jian waved his hand and smiled poorly, "The profound martial arts of the double light skill is not suitable for me who is about to enter the ranks of fat people, so let's walk." ”

"I can't imagine that Bai Daxia is going to talk about marriage at a young age?" Qiaozhi sneered at each other, "I'm afraid it's not good to experience the rivers and lakes, right?" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." He sighed half-truthfully, squinting at Qiaozhi's cheeks, which were flushed with anger, "Okay, I won't tease you." Xiuzhu: They should be waiting for us not far away. A few more steps away. ”

"Really?" Pretty Eda is still skeptical.

"Seriously!" Bai Jian smiled and swore a mouthful of white teeth.

... ...

It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that Pretty Eda saw the familiar carriage.

"Xiuzhu!" Seeing Xiuzhu sitting on the ground, Qiaozhi burst into tears, and rushed over in three steps and two steps.

Woo woo, it's a relative!

"Miss." Qingyue poked her head out of the carriage, stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and whispered, "It was Bai Gongzi who asked us to wait for you here, saying that you have something to say to Miss alone." ”

Sure enough, it was revenge.

Qiaozhi paused as she stepped into the carriage, and glared back at Bai Jian with a look of resentment, who still had a careless smile on her face, and was particularly unbeaten.

Qiaozhi turned around with a resigned face, and boarded the carriage with Qingyue's support.

Noticing Qiaozhi's tiredness, Qingyue and Qiuyue took the initiative to lean over and pinch her calves and neck for her.

Alas, the evil old society, the evil feudalism ... Qiaozhi sighed and was uneasy to enjoy the massage of the two little maids.

It smells so good!

As the sun set, the carriage moved forward in the afterglow of the setting sun, and just when Qiaozhi was drowsy, she suddenly remembered what Li Wusheng had told her.

"When you go down the mountain, you can stop where the children are playing, that is where you are destined."

"Where are you now?" Lifting the curtain, she asked Bai Jane, who was riding a horse and following the carriage.

"It should be almost at the bottom of the mountain." Bai Jian looked at the sky that had not completely darkened, "About half an hour." ”

Why is it still so long... Pretty branches and flat mouths, it's almost dark, which child can still laugh and fight outside... Don't be called back to eat by your mother? It's all to blame on Bai Jane! Where you can ride a carriage, you have to walk.

After about a stick of incense, Qiaozhi heard the sound of children playing outside the car.

"Stop!" Lifting the curtain suddenly, Pretty Branch shouted.

"Huh?" Xiuzhu parked the carriage and lifted the curtain to look at Qiu Yue, "Miss Yu, what's wrong?" Feeling unwell? ”

Qiu Yue shook her head, and also looked at Qiao Zhi with a confused expression.

"Bai Daxia, do you remember what Daochang Li said? said that I want to know the origin of the man in black, and I can open a restaurant in Yanling and wait for the rabbit. Seeing Bai Jian nodded, Qiao Zhi continued, "Later, when Daochang Li and I were talking alone, he instructed me how to find this restaurant. ”

"What do you mean..."

"That's right." Qiaozhi nodded and jumped out of the carriage, "Daochang Li told me that after going down the mountain, you can park where you can see the children frolicking and playing, and sure enough, what you said is true, this restaurant is quite -"

The unfinished words stuck in my throat raw.

Bai Jian frowned and looked at Qiaozhi, with a look on her face, are you sure? expressions.

This restaurant in front of you... Oh no, it should be said that it is an unknown building. Although the lamp was lit, it revealed a sense of decay from the inside out, and the door was wide open, and you could see the tables, chairs, and benches inside, all of which had accumulated a thin layer of dust.

Next to the only relatively clean table, a person dressed as a shopkeeper was dozing off on it. Seeing them looking inside, they just lazily raised their eyelids, didn't say hello, and silently turned their heads away.

What kind of service attitude is this! No wonder there are no customers!

"Hmm...."Bai Jian pondered for a moment and chose to speak, "Are you sure that Daoist Li told you so?" His eyebrows furrowed deeply, "It can't be an oolong... Such a dilapidated place..."

Qiaozhi was also a little hesitant, secretly wondering if it was because of the way ahead that caused the mistake, but... Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Looking at the little children still playing on the side of the road, Pretty Eda decided to go in and give it a try. Anyway, this restaurant is so dilapidated, it is estimated that it will be sold.

The group stepped into the tavern with a hula la, and the shopkeeper who was resting on the table finally stood up and said uncontrollably: "Guest officer, how many people." ”

？ Several? Can't you count! Qiaozhi gritted her teeth, but still replied good-naturedly: "Five." Do you have anything to eat? We had been on the road for a day and were a little hungry. ”

"Nothing. I'll ask you about the back kitchen in a moment. Xiao Eryi shook the towel in his hand and scribbled the table, "A few of you sit here and wait, I'll go and ask you." ”

"Okay." Bai Jian dragged a chair from the table next to him and sat down, stretched out his hand and shook the teapot on the table, "Please serve us a pot of tea first, I'm a little thirsty." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Er threw the towel over his shoulder, "I'll go and give you some good tea on the hour." ”

"The decoration here is good," Pretty Eda sat down and looked around carefully, "Is it because the boss here is not good at management?" How did you get to do this? ”

This restaurant has two floors, and the upper layer is covered with a gauze curtain, and you can vaguely see that there are small private rooms, and some patterns are engraved on the wooden door. The shroud of the white yarn has a gentle and elegant atmosphere, and it is estimated that it is an elegant place for literati to drink wine and tea.

The hall where they are located is much more civilian, with less carvings and curtains, more greenery and paintings, and looks more like an ordinary tavern for ordinary people to rest and eat.

A two-story restaurant can achieve the dual purpose of coexistence of elegance and vulgarity, and it should... It's not so down-and-out... Qiaozhi touched her chin and thought to herself, how bad this boss is to manage to end up like this...

"Several." While he was thinking, Xiao Er walked out with a middle-aged man with a big waist and a white cloth, "This is the chef of our restaurant." ”

After speaking, Xiao Er put down the two dishes in his hand, "This is scrambled eggs with tomatoes and tofu with shallots." With that, he put the teapot on the table and poured them a cup of tea one by one.

"I'm sorry." The chef saw them raise their chopsticks and suddenly spoke, smiling apologetically, "My side... Alas, to be honest with you, I didn't expect that there would be guests today, so I didn't prepare any ingredients. He glanced at the two dishes on the table and smiled even more reluctantly, "I can't hide it, these were originally eaten by a few of us, and they were really a little inhospitable." But don't worry, the taste is definitely first-class! Xiao Er beside him also nodded affirmatively.

"Hmm." Qiaozhi sandwiched a chopstick egg, and sure enough, the entrance was slippery/tender, and she squinted her eyes with satisfaction, "Why don't you prepare some ingredients for you, who runs a restaurant?" With such a big place, how many guests come a day, right? ”

"It's true." The cook sat down and sighed heavily, "This place has been in a slump, and the boss ran away before he even paid his wages." How can a few of us still have the heart to do it? It's hard to sell if you want to. ”

"Oh?" Bai Jian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he glanced at Qiaozhi quietly, and then said slowly, "You want to sell a restaurant?" I don't know how many shots I plan to make? ”

"It's... Haven't thought about it yet... The place is too far away to die, and there are no people... How can there be a big wrong..."The chef saw the shopkeeper look crazy halfway through speaking, and only then did he realize the meaning of Bai Jian's words, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, "You mean, you want to buy here?" Ahh I was just joking, but in fact, we... It's not bad..."The voice is weaker in the end, and the more I talk, the more weak my heart becomes.

"Well said, thinking about it." Bai Jian shook the tea bowl and smiled.

"Really?!" The chef was surprised and delighted, and was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, "If you can buy it, you'll help us a lot!" ”
