The wind was howling, and the snow foam was mixed in the wind, and it hit the face with a knife-like pain.

It was nearly noon, but the sun was still dark, and people couldn't remember how long it had been since they had seen a sunny day.

Sanghua Town is a town with thousands of households, the scale is not large, but it is already the most lively place in this radius of hundreds of miles.

On the north-south main street, there are two restaurants, a restaurant, two butcher shops, two inns, one large and one small, plus a blacksmith shop.

There is a market here every five days, people from ten miles and eight towns will come here to catch the market, today happens to be the sixth day of the first month, it is the most deserted time in Sanghua Town.

Coupled with the fact that the weather was very cold, there was no one walking around the street at all, only one or two scrawny wild dogs with their tails between their legs and foraging for food.

On this deserted street, a person and a rider walked slowly, and the person on the horse could not see his face clearly, but he could tell that he was a teenager just by looking at his posture.

The owner of the restaurant and the running hall happened to be standing in the door, caught a glimpse of this figure, and hurriedly said happily: "Business is coming, this one is from afar, I have to say hello quickly." ”

As he spoke, he came out of the door with short legs, and shouted to the young man riding a horse in the street, "Does this boy want to eat?" Come to us! Hot wontons and beef flatbread are delicious and inexpensive! ”

Another restaurant was diagonally opposite the house, and out of it came a short and fat woman, with a very high voice, and shouted: "Listen to his nonsense, his chimney has not smoked until now, where is the hot ravioli?" Come to us! The dog meat that is cooked in the morning is just right, and it warms up with two bites of garlic! ”

The man on the horse eventually stopped at the door of the first restaurant because he didn't eat dog meat.

The boss diligently helped him tie the horse, and said in conversation: "The time when the son is in a hurry, if you miss here, you will have to walk another hundred miles to the next place where you can eat!" ”

The young man had a snow hat on his head, and although there was no snow now, there was still a layer of floating snow on it.

When he entered the door, he shook off the snow from his body, took off his snow hat and took off his cloak, revealing a beautiful face.

"Childe, please sit down, it's been hard all the way." The shopkeeper poured a cup of hot tea and put it on the table, although it was coarse tea, it was hot.

The young man thanked him, held the teacup in his hand and turned it gently, not in a hurry to drink.

At this time, the proprietress and chef poked her head out from behind, and when she saw the guests entering the store, she also greeted them warmly.

"If there's anything ready to eat here, just get me one." The young man was very gentle and polite, and although he was not dressed as a poor child, he was not at all arrogant.

"What does the guest officer want to eat? Noodle soup ravioli or cooked beef cold cuts? The shopkeeper asked.

"A bowl of wontons, four steamed buns, two catties of beef cut into a plate, and take it away if you can't finish eating." The young man said happily.

"Okay, wait a minute." The boss hurriedly agreed: "This will ask the kitchen to cook it for you." ”

It was not the same as what he had greeted at the door before, but the young man did not pierce him.

"Boss, ask you about someone." As he spoke, the young man took out a piece of paper from his bosom and slowly unfolded it to a portrait: "Have you ever seen this child?" ”

The boss walked over and looked at it carefully, and there was a boy with clear eyebrows drawn on the paper, which looked like the one in front of him.

"This kid looks good, it seems that he stood at my place six or seven days ago." The boss thought for a moment and said, "I remember that there were two adult men following him, and those two men were so fierce that we didn't dare to go to them. ”

"Do you know where they went?" The young man asked again, his expression was very calm, except that the hand holding the portrait was a little too hard.

"The boy never spoke, and the accents of the other two were not local. After they had eaten, they walked all the way north, which was in the direction of Moxian. The boss said truthfully.

It turned out that this young man was none other than Wei Yining, who came out alone to find his younger brother.

She followed the clues all the way to here, and she had already walked more than a thousand miles.

"Thank you." Wei Yining thanked the shopkeeper, gently folded the portrait, and put it back in his arms.

"Childe is polite, it's not a little mouthy, what are you looking for that little boy?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, this child is my younger brother, because he was abducted by gangsters, I tracked it all the way here." Wei Yining did not hide it.

"Oh, then it's no wonder, you and this little boy look like each other, and at first glance they are two brothers. Those two people were not good things at first glance, and I wondered why two big men were in a hurry with a small child! The shopkeeper patted the table and said, "But Childe must be careful, those two people have knives on them!" ”

"Thank you for the reminder," Wei Yining thanked him, "I'll pay attention." ”

At this time, a spatula in the back kitchen sounded, indicating that the meal was ready.

The shopkeeper was busy in the back kitchen and brought the things Wei Yining ordered on a large tray.

Because he is not very familiar with the path, and the road is not easy to walk, Wei Yining will bring more food whenever he goes to the tip, in case he can't find a place to eat on the road.

Because the food was served, it was inconvenient for the shopkeeper to accompany him, so he only said that the guest officer would slow down and stepped aside, and took the fodder and water to feed the horses.

Wei Yining first drank two sips of soup to warm his stomach, and then cheered up and quickly ate full.

She didn't dare to delay too much on the road now, and wanted to catch up with Wei Hongan as soon as possible.

When she finished eating, she asked the boss to wrap the rest of the beef and steamed buns.

After that, he paid the money, put on his cloak and put on a snow hat and went out of the shop, and the horses tied to the door also ate fodder and drank water.

At this time, the sky was even more cloudy, and the little second of the inn on the side greeted: "Guest officer, I'm afraid it's going to snow for a while, or you can rest today and hurry tomorrow." The rooms in our shop are clean and warm. ”

However, Wei Yining didn't stop for a moment, even if it was snowing, she had to continue to hurry, as long as she didn't rescue her brother for a day, she couldn't feel at ease for a day.

The well-fed and well-fed horses galloped the snow, and soon left the little town of Sanghua behind.

At this time, there was a lot of shock in the political arena in the capital, Liu Huan was dismissed, and Prime Minister Zuo died of illness.

The vacancies of two important positions made many people want to move, and the undercurrent was turbulent for a while, which was even more exciting than singing.

However, Wei Yining didn't care about these anymore, she just entrusted Shao Yang to finish the Liu family's affairs before leaving, she knew that Lu Yinshu would kill Liu Chenglin, let Shao Yang secretly protect him, and induce him to kill Lu Yinshu, and in the end it would inevitably be a lose-lose ending.

As for the follow-up, it depends on the consequences of the competition between the parties.
