Shu Tong said that I had mistakenly taken a medicine made by Qiong and fell asleep for five years.

That kind of medicine is very magical, ordinary people occasionally eat one or two pills to sleep for two or three days, wake up and find that the face is radiant, I found the Qiong merchants who sold this medicine when I visited the temple fair, bought a big jar, because the language barrier did not know that this is medicine, I ate the first one and found that this thing is sweet and sour, soft and glutinous, such as glutinous rice candy with plum powder, I held the huge jar, and chewed sugar while watching the play next to the newly built stage next to the temple, when Shutong found me, the big jar had been belly, and I slept in the chair darkly, Mess.

I was convinced, for when I woke up, I found myself in good spirits, with bright ears and eyes, a radiant complexion, a white face and red lips, and no one at all—except for my hair, which I had slept white on.

It's just that this sleep has some sequelae, such as I forgot what I was engaged in before I fell asleep, Dredging Tong then brought you Sifang You big brother, he took the account book, contract and land deed, and reported to me the industry under my name in 1510, I knew that I used to operate a large-scale gambling house called "Ruyi Gambling Party" in Nanguo Mansion, and I was a wealthy businessman, and You Sifang was my big shopkeeper.

In addition, there are four other sub-managers of Wu Suochou, Song Junqian, Yun Jiyue, and Liang Qiugu, who run the business of salt, medicine, tea, and wine in various countries for me.

In the five years of the coma, the contradictions between the two countries intensified, the Nanguo Mansion is the place where the two countries must fight, the situation is very turbulent, Brother You judged the situation, moved the Ruyi gambling house to Xiangzhou, the capital of Ningguo, to avoid the war, and the business of the Ruyi gambling party is also becoming more and more prosperous.

I felt like I was daydreaming, and when I woke up, I couldn't help but sigh and feel that the five years of coma were worth it. As a result, the spirit is better and the eyes are brighter.

So at this moment, I think there is something strange about what the person in front of me is saying. I've been so comfortable all these years, and I've been doing well everywhere.

I rejected these strange thoughts and feelings, pointed to the blood stains on his sleeves, and brought the conversation back to the topic: "That Hu Gongzi's hand...... Did you do it? ”

He looked at me with a smile in his eyes, neither admitting nor denying it, his expression was gentle, just like this warm spring light.

"Since Brother Tai doesn't want to say it, I won't ask in the next place."

Although I said this, I had another calculation in my heart, and I don't know why, I always felt that although this person was handsome and handsome, and his behavior was also gentle, he was not a good person. So he raised his hand to salute and say goodbye, but when he missed his body, he pretended to stumble, and took the opportunity to hit him, his fingers touching his wide sleeves all the way to his jade-white belt, and the movements were swift and swift, like a habitual thief.

He seemed defenseless, so I managed to reach for a dagger in his arms through my clothes.

I quickly straightened up, looked at the yamen on the other side of the lake, smiled and prepared to say goodbye, and thought about going to the other side of the lake to report the crime.

He stroked the sleeves of his shirt that had been wrinkled by me, straightened his back, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Master Hu, although Ping Suli has done many bad things, this punishment seems to be a bit heavy for him. ”

I paused, looked up and asked, "What bad things has he done?" ”

The ink robe turned his back to his hand, his posture was upright, and he was calm and relaxed, and listed them for me one by one: "It's just that the daughter of Yuan Tieniu and Yuan Kuai's family was unmarried and pregnant, and unmarried miscarriage, but it was just to see the ancestral luminous cup of Lu Dazhu's shopkeeper's house and accidentally broke it for others, but it was the dishes of the Chunlai Restaurant who liked Nanguo Mansion and turned the chef home and caused the restaurant to go bankrupt, and he just went to the theater to listen to the drama and was hit in the face by the stone lion at the door without looking at the road, and the troupe was expelled from Nanguo Mansion." ”

I couldn't help but shudder, why does this sound so familiar?

He said again: "Tsk, it seems that they are all small bad, harmless." ”

"Is this still a small bad?" I only felt as if there were a bunch of firecrackers lit in my body, and the crackling sound of the explosion made me angry, and I couldn't help but take three steps back, bend down and worship, "Childe is doing a good thing wow, God will definitely bless you." ”

After saying that, he fled in a hurry, and ran all the way back to the inn from the lakeside.

After sitting in the inn for half an hour, the lost Shutong has not come back, touched the herbal tea and poured it, but still felt that the resentment in the chest has not diminished, as if something in the body has been ignited, the heart is on fire, and the more it burns, the more it burns.

I rubbed the corners of my forehead, and I couldn't tell what was wrong with me - even Brother You said that I was gentle and peaceful by nature, how could I be so angry and out of shape today?

I reflected on my actions this morning, and finally reflected that I was hungry, and asked the innkeeper for a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and as soon as the noodles were served, Shutong came back. She saw that I was sitting at the table eating safely and soundly, and came up with another righteous and strict meal, followed by a bitter admonition, I saw that she was in a more down-to-earth mood, and smiled and said to her: "Good sister, this son is wrong, you can forgive me." ”

The nervousness on her face disappeared, and when she saw me gobbling up noodles, she turned around and asked her to order me two meat dishes, a vegetarian dish and a bowl of soup.

I suddenly thought of a question, looked up and said, "Shutong, how did I eat during the five years when you said I was asleep?" ”

She replied fluently: "Generally, I make easy-to-digest things such as porridge soup for you to eat, and after the stew is done, I will send it to your mouth one by one." ”

I had no memory of this, so I lowered my head and ate the noodles silently. In the process of waiting for the food to come up, I saw the inn bookkeeper dialing the abacus on the counter, and I could see the abacus array on it clearly.

"Shutong, are my eyes good before falling asleep, can I see things clearly?"

She paused in pouring tea, splashed out some tea, followed my gaze and looked back at the counter, but her tone was still unhurried and unwavering: "Eyes are like the abacus beads that are getting brighter and brighter, your eyes are so good now, of course, because your eyes were good before." ”

I sighed deeply: "That's the reason." ”

Time flies, ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, the day after tomorrow is the day of the auction of the Creek Garden, today I wanted to go around the Creek Garden with Dredging Tong, but the sky is not beautiful, it began to rain in the early morning, and it did not stop until the evening, but it fell more and more, and the rain was pouring when the night sky came. Nanguo Mansion Nanguo Mansion has many stone roads, and in the morning I went to the street with Shutong to eat a soup dumpling, and my feet slipped seven or eight times along the way.

Dinner was settled in the inn, and after eating, Shutong made my bed and advised me to go to bed early: "The sound of the rain is very helpful for sleep, Mr. can relax and sleep tonight, and we will go to see the Creek Garden tomorrow when the weather is clear." ”

I nodded, "You should rest earlier, too." ”

As if the last time she sneaked out left a shadow on Shutong, she squinted at me: "Should you sneak out again tonight?" ”

"Why, look at the heavy rain outside. What can you do when you run out? ”

She was still not at ease, and deliberately threatened me: "Nanguo Mansion is a place where the two countries of Jinning are fighting for each other, don't look at it now belongs to Ningguo, but there are still many dead soldiers in the city who serve Jinguo, this kind of rainy night is a good time for them to kill the people of Ningguo." ”

"I'm not from Ningguo."

"But you're from Ning Guo." She glanced at me, turned and tucked my money bag into her sleeve, "Sir, rest quickly, don't think about the outside." ”

I was probably different from others, the sound of the rain outside the window did not make me sleepy, but made me feel more and more energetic, and I lay on the bed for a long time, and finally I could not help but put on my robe and open the window, and sat quietly by the window for a quarter of an hour.

Outside the heaven and earth are connected, the thunder is hidden and foggy, and the water and gas of the Moon Lake on the opposite side are continuous, chaotic and endless, such as after the great god of Pangu opened the world, he held a big pen like a rafter and dropped a little ink.

The depression and hatred that had been entrenched in my heart since I talked with the ink-robed boy by the lake a few days ago were absorbed by the scene outside the window, and I took a few deep breaths, and the clear moisture poured into my heart, and I suddenly felt that my mood was broad, and I was happy to fly. I suddenly remembered the sentence of my predecessor, "In the dead of night, people sit alone and observe the mind, and they know that they are poor and really exposed, and they get great fun in it", which is really true.

I came up with a bold idea – for example, while the rain still hasn't stopped, I should run outside to play, get close to the earth and nature, and my mind should be more comfortable and open.

In the distance, the luxury boat on the lake leaned against the ferry, but it was still lit as usual, and the sound of the thunderstorm was hidden in the thunderstorm. I don't know if Junqing's little boy has left this painting boat, I have nothing to do tonight, so I can just go and take a look.

So I put on my robe and tie it, took out a more valuable jade wrench from my luggage, and tiptoed out of the inn with an umbrella.

This jade wrench finger is very distinctive, it can emit a faint blue and quiet light at night, like the moon, I once asked Brother You what kind of jade this is made of, Brother You took it in his hand and observed it for a long time, and finally told me that this jade is called Yueluo Jade, which is very rare, and asked me to carry it with me and keep it well.
