40. Qin Huai'an
Walking across the small step bridge over the river, the man threw the hoe in his hand and greeted him, arched his hand at the three of them, smiled slightly, and asked, "Are you passing by in a hurry?" ”
The three of them exchanged glances, and they all smiled bitterly in their hearts. Passing by? I don't know how much effort it took them to get here, and I don't know who could have been so lucky to 'pass' here.
Wanjing is a woman, and it is not good to talk too much with a strange man, so Lin Yu stepped forward to return the salute and said politely: "Exactly, the three of us went to this cross ditch to enjoy the flowers, and somehow we got lost." It's a bit tired right now, if it's convenient for you, can we rest here and ask for a few sips of water? ”
Now I can't figure out what the situation is, Lin Yu naturally can't tell people directly: My brother's soul is gone, we came in to find the soul, have you seen my brother's soul?
In that case, it will either make people angry or scared, and it is not strange to pick out the big stick. Besides, it's a bit weird to live alone here, and it's even more troublesome to startle the snake. simply pretended to be stupid and said that it was lost.
"Of course, inside, please." The man generously invited them into the garden. This man looked like he was about thirty years old, thin and straight, and he looked quite handsome, except for the gray coarse cloth clothes and trousers, he did not look like a farmer, but he looked like a scholar. Lin Yu secretly examined it, and there were more doubts in his heart.
"The surname is Lin, it's the people of Jincheng, I don't know what the lord's family is called?" After sitting down at the stone table in the courtyard, Lin Yu asked.
"Lin?" The man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the evening mirror, and then smiled clearly, "But the eldest prince of Jincheng Jiyue Villa?" Disrespectful and disrespectful. The villain's surname is Qin, and the table name is Huai'an. ”
Lin Yu was a little surprised that this man actually revealed his identity at once, but after thinking about the influence of Jiyue Mountain Villa and the reputation of the beauty of the evening mirror, he felt that this was not difficult to guess for people who often came and went to Jincheng.
Qin Huai'an asked Xiaozhen to boil water to make tea for a few people. Tea is naturally not a good tea, but the water quality in this mountain is soft and sweet, and it is very palatable and moisturizing to drink.
"I've never been to such a good place before!" Lin Yu's admiration was a little sincere, "How did Gongzi Qin find this?" ”
Qin Huai'an waved his hand modestly, "Where to be a son, if Lin Gongzi doesn't dislike it, it is a great honor to call me Brother Huai'an." ”
"If you can live here, how can you not be a son." Lin Yulang smiled, praised Qin Huai'an politely, and then circled the topic back to this place without a trace. He didn't have the heart to chat, he had to ask something.
"Alas, it doesn't matter where you go when you flee, but you just happen to be here, and you feel clean and stay, which is really a last resort."
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, "Brother Huai'an is not a local in Jincheng?" ”
Qin Huai'an smiled a little bitterly, "I was originally from Qingcheng County, and I couldn't get any fame after studying for a few years. Five years ago, there was a flood in Qingcheng County, and the family's house collapsed. I really had no choice but to escape. ”
Lin Yu also heard a little about the flood, so he sighed with him, "The natural disaster is unpredictable!" But Brother Huai'an, since you are a scholar, why don't you go to Jincheng to think of a way? There are always some store bookkeeping or ghostwriting jobs that can be found, right? ”
"I'm not afraid of Lin Gongzi's jokes, although I am a scholar, but I can't pick up anything in school. I've also thought about ghostwriting, but there are many readers in Jincheng, and they are all connected, and I can't plug in at all. If it weren't for the last resort, my hand holding the pen would have taken the hoe. Qin Huai'an spread out his hand, touched the cocoon that had worked out of his palm, a little stunned, and then smiled again: "But after settling down, I also feel that this farmer has its own farmhouse The beauty of the farm, you sowed the seeds in Qingming, and it sprouted before the rain, and there were melons and fruits to eat in the summer." A point of hard work, a point of gain, never let down. ”
"Brother Huai'an rarely has such an open-minded mind, and Lin is ashamed of himself." Lin Yu smiled and patted Qin Huai'an's shoulder, "There are losses but gains, this idyllic life is something that no number of people can ask for." It's just that this place is too deserted, and few people usually come, right? ”
"Not much, really. It's a little far from the west entrance of the cross ditch to here, and most of them are for enjoying the flowers and scenery, and they won't go so deep. Qin Huai'an took a sip of the tea bowl, secretly glanced at Lin Yu from the edge of the bowl, and saw that he was looking around, and his mouth couldn't stop admiring, so he relaxed slightly.
But this Lin Yu is a casual person who is actually careful. Qin Huai'an's words just now were not leaky, and he couldn't hear anything suspicious, he was wondering if Li Kun's matter was whether they were thinking in the wrong direction, but at this moment, he caught Qin Huai'an's sneaky glance with his residual vision, and his heart couldn't help but move.
