Chapter 104: The Return of the Old Man (2)

The words made everyone present stunned in place.

After a while, Yun Ling Xiu moved his gaze to the oil-paper umbrella on the stall, and sincerely admired, "The third sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good. ”

"Really?" Du Juan was praised by this, squinted his eyes and smiled, and chose two handfuls and handed them to him and Chu Mo, "Come, give you a handful as a meeting gift." ”

The two oil-paper umbrellas are dyed with peony petals, revealing a suitable shade of pink and a faint floral fragrance.

Chu Mo thanked him and took it, looked left and right, and seemed to like it very much.

Yun Lingxiu immediately waved his hand and said with a bitter face, "Third sister-in-law, I'm a big man, so I don't need this pink." ”

In a word, everyone present laughed.

Cuckoo narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You open it and take a look." ”

"These two umbrellas are smoked with the same peony, your umbrella is painted with the moon, and the lady is painted with stars, the stars and the moon are together, but it is an excellent meaning."

For some reason, Yun Lingxiu suddenly thought of the starlight that night, and the brilliance of the starry grass in the sky.

His face turned red, he hugged the umbrella tightly, and suddenly pointed to the giant oil-paper umbrella above his head, "This umbrella is so special." ”

"Why do you draw sugar gourds?"

The woman looked at the string of sugar gourds and laughed, as if she thought of a very distant past, "Well, I met him because of this mask and sugar gourd." ”

"I think if he comes back, he will find me very quickly when he sees this sugar gourd."

"The third brother will definitely come back." Cheng Tianyi affirmed.

"Yes!" The cuckoo's ordinary face was overflowing with happiness, his eyes were full of true belief, and the whole person seemed to glow, "He said he would come back, and he never lied to me!" ”

"Sister-in-law, your wind and cold are not good, let me help you shout business." The honest man picked up a handful of oil-paper umbrellas and walked out, standing on the side of the street and greeting.

"Sell umbrellas!"

Cheng Tianyi waved the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and tried his best to sell, "Good umbrella!" ”

"Good umbrella!"

"Sell umbrellas!"

The streets were full of people and hurried footsteps, and no one stopped.

But Cheng Tianyi was not discouraged, and shouted with all his heart until his voice was hoarse, and only three or three people stayed and watched.

"Brother Cheng!" Yun Lingxiu sighed, walked out of the stall, patted him on the shoulder, and picked up an umbrella from his hand, "Shouting like you, when will you be able to sell one!" ”

"That..."Cheng Tianyi touched his head honestly, and said embarrassedly, "Then how can you shout!" ”

"Look at me!"

Yun Lingxiu winked at him, opened the umbrella stand above his head, and walked up on the side of the street, "Come on, come on, take a look, take a look!" The best oil-paper umbrella, the pattern is beautiful, the fragrance is pleasant, the sun can be shaded, the rain can cover the body, it is really a good product for walking the street! ”

"Eh, these young ladies, seeing that you are all sweet and creamy, you must have used excellent rouge!" Yun Lingxiu stepped forward to stop a few girls and said with a smile.

"We... I don't have much fat powder on weekdays. The girl who was praised blushed shyly.

"It's so beautiful without fat powder!" Yun Lingxiu exclaimed, put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and handed it to them, "This oil-paper umbrella is extremely compatible with the elegant temperament of your young ladies. If you use it to shade the sun, you will definitely have a fair complexion and be more beautiful and moving. ”

"You see, you can also choose your favorite floral scents and patterns..."

Several girls laughed and headed for the stall.

"Incense oil paper umbrella, this is the only one in a hundred cities..."Yun Lingxiu continued to shout with the oil paper umbrella in his hand, and after a while, the small stall was crowded with people who wanted to buy umbrellas.

Cheng Tianyi was amazed.

The cuckoo is also a stall owner with a delicate mind and familiar words, and today's business is not good, which is caused by the cold wind and his hoarse voice.

Yun Lingxiu helped, and after a while, the oil-paper umbrellas on this stall were sold out.

Du Juan thanked them again and again, and wanted to keep them for dinner, but Yun Lingxiu and the others refused one by one, saying that they still had something to do, and they would visit her again tomorrow, so they said goodbye to her and went to the Baicheng Mansion.

"Brother Ling Xiu," while walking, Cheng Tianyi suddenly stepped forward to stop Yun Ling Xiu and said sincerely.

"Thank you."

The setting sun slanted across the entire town, and the light and shadow overlapped, sprinkling on the rugged and square face, revealing the young man's sparse sincerity.

Yun Lingxiu grinned, "How is it, is it so admirable!?" ”

"Brother Ling Xiu is really smart, witty and quick..."Cheng Tianyi quickly searched in his mind for the boastful words he had learned in recent days, patted his head, and blurted out, "Show off your wisdom, ice and snow are smart, bright eyes and bright teeth, and natural beauty..."

"Stop, stop!" The more Yun Lingxiu listened, the more wrong he became, and his head was full of black lines, "Brother Cheng has made rapid progress recently!" ”

"Not really..."Cheng Tianyi scratched his head embarrassedly, his eyes lit up, "I also learned some words, Xiu...."

"Good, good!" Yun Lingxiu immediately intercepted his words, "You don't have to summarize them one by one, it's too much... It's too much. ”

After speaking, seeing Cheng Tianyi frowning and thinking about the meaning of "too much", Ling Xiu hurriedly changed his head.

"Anyway, why is your third sister-in-law here?"

"I grew up in a ruined temple in the east of the city, which was a former nunnery where the abbot raised several homeless children. When those children grew up, the abbot died, and the nunnery gradually became less and less accessible. These children grew up safely under the protection of the abbot, and they were grateful in their hearts, so they continued to adopt abandoned children who had nowhere to go in the hundred cities. ”

"My sister and I, as well as Brother Long, are among them." Recalling the past, Cheng Tianyi showed a slight smile, "There are many children of different sizes in the nunnery, Eminem has always taken care of us, and everyone takes care of each other and is like a family. When children grow up, they can leave on their own and start a family. ”

Later, Brother Long set up his own family with his sister-in-law. During the New Year's holidays, I will go back to the temple to see Eminem and his younger siblings. After my sister and I apprenticed to the Tao, we rarely returned to the temple. ”

Cheng Tianyi pursed his lips and smiled, "If you have a chance, you must go and see my younger brothers and sisters." Those little ghosts are naughty. ”

It's a heartwarming story.

Yun Ling Xiu smiled back, "Okay." ”

The two chatted in front, and Jing Qian and Chu Mo slowly followed behind. After a long time, Jing Qian suddenly said, "Sister Chu, Senior Brother likes Brother Ling Xiu very much." ”

"Hmm." Chu Mo nodded, looked at the two teenagers who were talking happily, and then stopped at the back of the bright young man, "He too." ”

In a blink of an eye, I went to the government office, and when I asked, I realized that there were no visions in the city recently, and there were no bizarre events.

Not only did the four of them wonder again.

"Could it be that this corpse escaped from the Hundred Cities?"

"That's not going to happen," Yun Lingxiu frowned, "Uncle Luo has his own reason for arranging for us to stay. ”

"It's just, this corpse... For some reason, it didn't make a mess. ”

"That being the case, only wait for him to show his tail."

Everyone nodded, touched their already hungry stomachs, and headed towards the teahouse.

In the blink of an eye, night was falling.

The dilapidated and quaint courtyard walls fell in the night. There are few pedestrians on the street, and a few lanterns sway slightly in the night breeze, and the dim light ripples, oozing a hint of depression.

"I can't imagine that the night market in the east of the city is so deserted." Yun Lingxiu shook his head and muttered in frustration, "It seems that we won't be able to eat a big meal tonight." ”

"But... I'm hungry..."Nettle touched her already hungry stomach, and pouted aggrievedly at the senior brother beside her.

"Good ~ we'll eat right away." Cheng Tianyi touched the little junior sister's head and comforted.

"But," she said, gesturing to the cold street, "these shops are long closed." ”

"Do you remember the place we used to go to when we were kids?"

"Restaurant?!".

Nettle's eyes lit up.
