Bai Xiuwen has no breast milk. She straightened her clothes and returned the child to the arms of the guardian outside the door.

Faced with a woman who didn't love her children and didn't have the slightest effect, the man in gray didn't care about her embarrassment, but just handed Bai Xiuwen a roll of gold-patterned tickets and a silver-patterned ticket: "Chi Ran said, if you want to go to a farther place, it should be that small inn." ”

The sudden friendliness is confusing, but for Bai Xiuwen, who is bent on losing the child, she can only be grateful, and said that she will definitely come back, can you not let Chi Ran follow?

"Yes, it's your private business, after all."

Bai Xiuwen went out happily, she planned to go to see Yu Quan's attitude first.

"Master, if Miss Bai is really gone, Ping will have no mother......" Chi Ran looked at Bai Xiuwen's back with an unbearable expression.

In fact, Chi Ran is an orphan.

The man in gray tilted his head, as if he was a little puzzled: "You forgot, I have already sold this medical hall two days ago." ”

***

After the expansion, the inn has several new dishes, and there is an endless stream of diners. The store recruits people, the old guy is promoted and raised, and the young shopkeeper is busy because of the newlywed.

"Customer officer, please, the new products of the small store ......"

"Part-time workers go this way, come and come, don't get in the way."

"The girl welcomes ...... You're a little familiar! The old man squinted and looked closely, she was wearing a white dress decorated with simple Mo Lan, and she was much more energetic than before.

Bai Xiuwen?

Bai Xiuwen is back.

Yu ...... Is the shopkeeper there? I want to see him. ”

Bai Xiuwen glanced at the diners and men on the first floor, and even the counter where she often knocked on the plate, but she didn't see anyone she was thinking about.

Isn't she dead?

Huaiye planted dead people! Could it be—

found that Bai Xiuwen's eyes were rolling, and her expression changed from longing to disappointment. The old man's Adam's apple squirmed, and his heart was horrified, a Taoist priest had already said that Bai Xiuwen was a thousand-year-old fox spirit, and he was eyeing the shopkeeper Yu Quan to suck people's essence......

The old man was superstitious, and he was afraid, and he didn't dare to offend the fox fairy, so he had the courage to find a small table and arrange Bai Xiuwen, and hurriedly went to inform the others, except for Yu Quan.

"How can you not tell the shopkeeper?" A few people didn't have an opinion, and hesitated again and again, "And a girl, how can you drop?" ”

"This girl has big eyes, maybe she hooks up with a young boy again." The old man looked embarrassed.

"I also know something, she's not pregnant, she has a big belly ......"

“……”

After a few words, a few people forgot to work. The cook Lao Zhang and the cook were busy for a long time, the fried dishes were steaming and no one served them, and some diners outside also urged: "Serving the food, it's too slow, I haven't served it for so long." ”

The cook stopped picking and ran to the backyard and roared: "*, the little rabbits are all eating*!" Work! ”

The shopkeeper was not there, and the well-respected cook, who had been working for the longest time, spoke well, and the two men immediately worked obediently, they were new recruits, and everything had to go according to the rules.

The old guy who entertained Bai Xiuwen at first leaned in and whispered, but when the cook heard it, his face sank on the spot: "The shopkeeper accompanied his daughter-in-law back to her parents' house today, and I have to live there these days, but I don't have to worry." I'm afraid that someone will see it, and the shopkeeper's home will not match. ”

"But she's not leaving......"

"You don't dare to mess with the fox spirit, I dare, look where she is a goblin!"

The cook took off his apron, walked all the way to the anxious Bai Xiuwen, and asked, "Guest officer, what to eat?" The shop is ......"

It seems to be a polite inquiry to the usual guests.

Fat Dundun's body blocked the sight of others, Bai Xiuwen held a glass of water in both hands, and the water surface was uneven.

"I'm not here to eat......" Bai Xiuwen corrected in a low voice, stood up on the table, and wanted to bypass the cook. She knew that the cook hated herself and was worried about what the cook would do to her.

"White Girl."

The old man blocked Bai Xiuwen's way and said coldly, "Let's go, don't come again, our shopkeeper is married, so as not to misunderstand." ”

"I—I'm just ......"

"Let's go!" The old man took a step forward, and Bai Xiuwen took a step back.

She was aggrievedly silent, her beautiful face weeping.

"Let me see him, just one look, one look! Please. Bai Xiuwen knew that she was weak, she grabbed the sleeve of the cook's shirt, and she didn't think that his clothes were full of kitchen smoke oil, and the cuffs were full of stains, so she only gently tugged at it.

The girl in front of her was delicate and moving, and the cook's heart softened for a moment, after all, Bai Xiuwen was just a young woman, helpless, and finally survived and had to pull the baby......

was shaking his head, and the same fat cook came from the back kitchen, and when she saw this scene, she was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood! She is the daughter-in-law of the cook Lao Zhang!

"Bai Xiuwen, you and I died?!"

The plate fell in response, and fungus, eggs, cucumber shreds, etc. were scattered on the ground, startling most of the people in the room, and they turned around one after another, and one of the calm people in the corner said softly: "It's so fast and lively again, it's not bad." ”

The cook Lao Zhang hurriedly shook off Bai Xiuwen.

Bai Xiuwen staggered, his palm inadvertently brushed the tabletop, and the porcelain teacup fell to the ground.

"You dare to drop something?!"

"No, I was careless......"

Chickens fly and dogs jump.

***

"Just pack up your things today and leave."

The man in gray turned back to his room, set up Apple, who was entertaining himself, and there was a sound of rummaging through the cabinets.

Chi Ran was stunned and went back to the room to pack his things.

***

A handful of paper tickets were waved in the air, gold, silver, shining.

"I'm here for dinner!" Bai Xiuwen still has a few pieces of money in her hand, and the gray-clothed man in the medical hall has given a lot, and she always has to keep a bottom for herself, "Because I was favored by the store before, and now you are expanding, so you are here to support it!" ”

Diners, the guys are scrambling for something that is light like goose feathers in the air, and no one cares if Bai Xiuwen is a thousand-year-old fox spirit.

"Since you don't welcome it, then I'll keep this money, but remember it to me, this is Xie Shopkeeper Yu Quan, not you dogs!"

The cook didn't go to grab the money, listened to Bai Xiuwen's bold words, scolded loudly, and finally let her get out.

"We don't beat women,* you don't even ...... Get lost! The shopkeeper will never accept your ......"

Facing Bai Xiuwen's back as he left alone, several people who picked up the silver-patterned tickets instead of the gold-patterned tickets also began to explode.

She listened, and walked faster and more resolutely.

"You're the bastards...... Dogs are not as good as ......," she murmured, one eye irresistibly overflowing with bitter salty tears.

Suppressing the trembling and wiping away the tears many times, Bai Xiuwen walked to the hospital for a while, and finally couldn't hold it back, squatted on the ground and hugged himself and kept crying.

***

The whispers of the fairy tale and the sound of squeaking and chewing dry bread are intertwined, and two sentences can be faintly heard: "The little flame has lost the little piece of wood...... Click, the small piece of wood burned half of it click......"

As always, he was dressed in cold and silent gray, and the sound of his teeth breaking bread was exceptionally crisp, and Apple stared at him blankly, his eyes dark and shining.

"The dough is too hard, you can't eat it, let's drink rice porridge."

The man in gray picked up the porridge bowl that was sitting aside, tasted it, and it was no longer hot.

Sending the rice soup into Ping's slightly open mouth, she didn't swallow it, the soup overflowed the corners of her mouth, the man in gray helped her wipe it off, and discussed softly: "I'll find you some goat's milk in two days, and then use rice porridge to deal with it for the time being." ”

"Master, you've been hugging me for so long, give me Apple, can you rest?"

It's been an hour since the carriage left, and Chi Ran saw that the man in gray had been teasing Ping and wanted to touch it.

"No, I'm not tired." The man in gray smiled and said, "I've been coaxing for so long, and I haven't slept yet." ”

Apple was still dumbfounded, she had been crying less and less lately, blinking her round eyes all day long to touch this strange world to her.

The sunlight came here through the small window of the carriage, driving a hazy dust.

The man in gray leaned back on the carriage seat, enjoying the peace, and gradually fell asleep, but his two arms did not relax in the slightest.

"Hmm......" she moved, reaching out and grabbing at the void, her nails shiny.

***

Three days later.

Yu Quan, who took his wife back to her parents' house, appeared in the store.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you spend more time with your sister-in-law?"

"The store is expanding, and it is not practical to look at it yourself. Uncle Zhang, nothing happened recently, right? ”
