Feng'an is a border town, although it is located in the middle of nowhere, but it is also a traffic artery, and there are many people coming and going, so Feng'an was still quite prosperous in the past.

Originally, there were countless merchants on this street, but now there is only one old man left selling sticky cakes in the cold wind, and there are not even a few pedestrians on the road.

The old man listened to Lianzhi's words and looked at Feng'an now, his eyes were full of melancholy.

Jin Shen pointed at Lianzhi and said indignantly: "You dare to insult our Jin family like this? ”

At this moment, a person who was following Jin Shen suddenly saw the purple-red blood marks spreading on the old man's neck, and he was so frightened that he retreated again and again: "Jin Gongzi, this old thing is sick." ”

The old man subconsciously tugged at the shabby scarf around his neck to block the blood.

Jin Shen was frightened: "Hurry up, stay away from him, how can this old thing dare to come out to sell sticky cakes when he is sick, he doesn't want to die, and he has to drag others to die together." ”

Jin Shen said as he ran away with the others, not daring to stay for a second.

The old man looked at Lianzhi, and he immediately explained: "Girl, this sticky cake is clean, you won't get sick if you eat it, if you don't want it, I'll return the money to you." ”

"No, I like to eat sticky cakes." In this kind of weather, the sick old man still insists on selling sticky cakes on the road, which shows that his life must be very difficult, "Do you want to continue to sell sticky cakes in the future?" With all due respect, with your body, I'm afraid it won't last long. ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "I can't help it, I still have a little granddaughter to raise at home, otherwise I wouldn't drag such a body to the street to sell sticky cakes......" The old man said while dragging his rickety body to close the stall.

Lian Zhi took out a piece of silver and handed it to the old man: "In this way, you make the sticky cake every day and send it to the Yuelao Temple in front, I want it all, this is the deposit." ”

"That's too much." The old man excused himself, "I remember that the people living in the Yuelao Temple are all infected people, why did the girl send it there?" ”

"Because I live there now, these sticky cakes are also prepared for the people who live in the temple, and they are not wasted at all. This silver is for you to buy materials, if you can make other pastries, you can also make them and send them over, and if the money is not enough, come to me again. ”

"Girl!" The old man bowed to Lianzhi and thanked him, "You are a good person. ”

Lian Zhi smiled, didn't speak, and turned around and left directly. It turns out that in this world, there are still people who think she is a good person!

Lianzhi walked around, Feng'an was desolate or desolate, it was almost night, and Lianzhi decided to go back to the Yuelao Temple first.

Lianzhi handed the sticky cake to Xiao Canniang and asked Xiao Canniang to warm it up for everyone to eat.

Xiao Canniang opened the wrapped oil paper, and after just one glance, she recognized it: "This is Lao Li's sticky cake, right?" ”

"I don't know, I just saw someone selling it on the road, so I bought it."

"Lao Li's pastries are the best, and adults and children love to eat them. Later, Feng'an had an accident, many shops were closed, and everyone had no money to buy this kind of pastry stall, so they slowly forgot about it. I didn't expect Lao Li to still sell sticky cakes, the taste is still exactly the same as before, I didn't expect to be able to taste Lao Li's pastries again. ”

"I asked him to make it at home every day and send it directly here, and you can still eat the pastries made by Lao Li's family in the future."

"Girl, I know you are good-hearted, and I can't bear to see Lao Li selling these pastries that can't be sold at all in the cold wind every day. But you still have to take care of yourself first, and you can't spend money indiscriminately. ”

"I know what I know." Lianzhi replied.

At dinner time, the aroma of sticky cakes wafted out from the Yuelao Temple, and everyone was admiring Lao Li's craftsmanship and grateful to Lianzhi.

At night, Lianzhi couldn't sleep and sat in front of the Yuelao Temple.

There is a tree in front of the Yuelao Temple, compared with the depressed Feng'an, it is still luxuriant, but the red thread hanging on the tree by countless men and women in the past has lost its color in the wind and rain.

Lianzhi stood under the tree, looking at the white lines hanging from the tree, imagining what it would be like in the past.

Suddenly, Lianzhi lowered her head, and she untied the bracelet woven with red thread on her left wrist and tied it to the branch.

She didn't know if it would be useful to tie a red rope to this tree, but there were so many people who tied ropes here to make wishes before, so there should still be some spirits, right?

Lianzhi prayed in her heart, hoping that Wen Zhiyu would be safe this time, and she could take Wen Zhiyu back to Beijing!

"Big sister, are you thinking about big brother?" Xiao Can's voice suddenly sounded, Lian Zhi turned around and saw Xiao Can, she squatted down and talked to Xiao Can: "What am I thinking about, big brother?" ”

"Didn't you come to Feng'an to find your husband? You're a big sister, so isn't he a big brother? ”

"You little clever ghost."

"Big sister, you have such a good heart, you will definitely be able to find the big brother."

"Then I'll borrow your good words." Lianzhi asked, "At this time, why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Xiao Can squatted down next to Lianzhi with a sad face: "I remembered Xiao Duo." ”

"Who is Xiao Duo?"

"It's the granddaughter of Grandpa Li's family."

Lianzhi remembered that the old man had told him that he also had a little granddaughter to raise: "Are you familiar with Xiaoduo?" ”

"I grew up with Xiao Duo, and her father and mother died early, so I have always lived with Grandpa Li. Later, we both got sick and moved here, and I don't know how Xiaoduo is now. Xiao Can originally lowered his head, but when he said this, he raised his head, "But it's best that she and Grandpa Li aren't here, and I don't want her and Grandpa Li to get sick too." ”

But the old man was already sick.

Lian Zhi looked at Xiao Can's smile when he mentioned Xiao Duo, and some words couldn't be said: "If you can, I hope that all this can pass as soon as possible, and Feng'an will return to its previous appearance." ”

Obviously, he has only been here for a day, but Lianzhi inexplicably has a heavy feeling here, not like an outsider, but into the game.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Xiao Canniang got up. She had barely walked a few steps when she saw Lianzhi sitting against the wall on the hay, sleeping with a sword in her arms.

Lianzhi heard the movement and immediately opened his eyes and looked at the comer.

Xiao Canniang was startled by Lianzhi's eyes, there was no warmth in her eyes, with murderous intent and vigilance. Looking at it, Lianzhi just looked at her normally. Xiao Canniang scolded herself in her heart, she has been so tired lately, she has been dazzled.

"Miss Lianzhi, did you sleep like this all night?" Xiao Canniang asked, "How can you sleep comfortably like this?" ”

"I'm used to it."

"Then you can sleep a little longer, it's still early."

"It's not easy for me to fall asleep when I wake up, but how did you get up at this point?"

"Isn't this going grocery shopping?"

Lianzhi looked at the sky and was a little incredulous: "So early? ”

Xiao Canniang nodded: "It's not easy to buy something now, fortunately, there is still a morning market, but the things in the morning market are very expensive, and there is a time limit for the market to open, so don't miss the time." ”

"I'll go with you. If you want to buy so many people's food, how can one person carry it? ”

Xiao Canniang thought about it, and it was okay for Lianzhi to go with her if she wanted to: "If you don't go to the morning market, there are some rules that must be followed." ”

"No problem." Lianzhi replied.

In the end, Xiao Canniang and Lianzhi were tightly wrapped when they went out, and Xiao Canniang covered herself with wide clothes and rags so that only a pair of eyes were exposed. Originally, Xiao Canniang was also going to wrap Lianzhi like this, but Lianzhi took out a black cloak and wrapped herself, and Xiao Canniang nodded when she saw that Lianzhi was wrapped tightly.

The two of them went out of the Yuelao Temple, and Lianzhi followed Xiao Canniang through many winding streets before arriving at the morning market in Xiao Canniang's mouth.

Along the way, Xiao Canniang told Lianzhi about the situation of the morning market.

The morning market is a market that came into being after the accident in Feng'an, when many businesses closed their doors in order to supply the living needs of the people. Open every day, close at the end of the day, and do not wait for the point. There are not many types of things here, and the prices are doubling compared to before, so people would not want to come here in normal times, but now it is difficult to buy things in other places except for the morning market.

This morning market is actually a very simple temporary erection like a vegetable market-like place, where imports can only enter and exit, and there are people at both entrances who can be specially guarded.

Xiao Canniang stood at the entrance of the morning market and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's finally here." ”

Lianzhi looked at the morning market in front of her, she felt a little strange, here, she saw that Feng An has almost nothing now, that is, order. Standing in the doorway and looking in, she could feel the order inside.

Just now, Xiao Canniang said that this is a morning market organized by the people, it is not easy to form, and there is a shortage of materials, and it is normal for prices to double.

But Lianzhi thinks it's not normal, if it's really just a spontaneous organization of the people, will it be so orderly?
