Chapter 18: Returning Home
Xiao Er, who was already busy with his feet not touching the ground, didn't care about the outsiders who suddenly broke in, the back hall of the restaurant was connected to the big kitchen, and Hua Mian was about to step into the small courtyard behind the kitchen, but was stopped by a shout.
"Stop," the voice remembered from behind Hua Mian with a sharp and irresistible command.
Hua Mian's raised foot slowly lowered and looked sideways towards the source of the sound.
The man was dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, with a large face and a round belly, and his short and thick hands were covered with golden rings.
Hua Mian's brain popped out two words, nouveau riche, greasy, and his voice was slightly cool, "I'm looking for the shopkeeper"
The fat man rubbed the gold ring on his left hand with his right hand, and looked arrogant, "I am, where did I come from to ask for food, hurry up"
Wave to the guy next to you, "Hurry up and throw people out of me"
Hua Mian was angry and funny, he asked Chu Chenxi to find some down-to-earth people to take charge of the dark pile, this person really fell into the ground.
Ignoring the man's presumptuous words, he took out the token in his arms and shook it in front of the fat man's eyes.
The fat man's face changed slightly, and his tone became respectful, "You come with me."
has been leading Huamian into the study in the backyard, closed the door, plopped, knelt straight to Huamian on the ground, and repeatedly said "The master atonements, the subordinates have eyes that are not Mount Tai, the master spares his life, the master redeems..."
"Shut up" The fat man's cry of mercy was interrupted by Hua Mian's sharp voice.
The fat man, the tiger's body trembled, and he closed his mouth quietly.
"What's the news from the Deputy Pavilion Master? What orders have you given in the past two days?"
The fat man knelt two steps towards Hua Mian, and replied in a loud voice, "After the pavilion master disappeared, it was the person who was lurking in the shadows to protect the pavilion master that day who passed the news to all parts of the city, and instructed him to do his best to find the traces of the pavilion master, and at the same time urgently transmitted the news back to the deputy pavilion master, who is now on the way to the cangying, and ordered to find the pavilion master at all costs, and send Hawkeye to deliver a message as soon as there is news."
Eagle Eye is a group of eagles raised by the Flower Pavilion, recognizing the master and knowing the way, flying fast and with excellent endurance, it has always been Chu Chenxi's treasure.
Even the eagle eye has been used, what should Chu Chenxi be in a hurry.
"Immediately send a message to the deputy cabinet master, I am fine, let him go back to the cabinet first and wait for me, and I will leave for the cabinet tomorrow" Hua Mian said.
"Yes," the fat man, who had been trembling on his knees, hurriedly responded.
"Where are the two people who left the General's Mansion with me that day?" Hua Mian continued to ask.
"Hui Pavilion Master, the two brothers, after you disappeared, were brought back to the secret stake by the people who secretly protected you," the fat man continued to reply.
Brought back the dark pile? Hua Mian was stunned for a moment and continued to ask, "Here?" ”
The fat man knelt on the ground, hanging his head and didn't dare to look at Hua Mian, "Yes, I heard that it was the person who was the guardian of the pavilion, and he was not treated harshly, and he was always in the wing room in this backyard."
Hua Mian got up from her chair, "Go and send a message to the deputy pavilion master immediately, and ask someone to take me to meet them, and prepare some food by the way."
Hua Mian didn't pay attention to the fat man on the ground, and walked out, the fat man quickly got up, followed behind Hua Mian step by step, went out of the study, called a small guy, took Hua Mian to meet people, and went to spread the news himself.
Hua Mian, who had already walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, paused, suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked, "What's your name?"
The fat man's heart, which he had put in his stomach, immediately mentioned his throat, and bowed down and replied, "Belong, the subordinates are full of gold, and they are under the management of the dark building."
Hua Mian bowed his head, "I wrote you down" This fat man is really as good as his name, fun and tight.
Fatty, oh not golden, the heart that was already in the throat and eyes, now he was about to jump out, saw Hua Mian walking away, picked up his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his face, why is it so hot in winter.
Hua Mian was led to the front of the room, waved at the little girl, raised her foot and pushed the door directly in, just in time to bump into Jinxuan and Jinyu, who were looking at the door.
When Jin Yu saw that it was Hua Mian, her little eyes lit up, she jumped off the chair and ran to Hua Mian's legs, dragged the corner of Hua Mian's clothes, raised her little face to Hua Mian's face with a white mask, and looked at Hua Mian with wet eyes without speaking.
Hua Mian's heart softened, squatted down, let Jin Yu look at herself, pinched Jin Yu's white and tender little face, and said gently, "What's wrong?" ”
Before Jinyu could answer, Hua Mian fell into a big bear hug, which made Hua Mian stunned.
Then I remembered Jinxuan's muffled voice, "Where have you been?" Let us both worry about death, why did you come back, huh"
Hua Mian listened to the soft cry, and hurriedly comforted, "I'm not coming back, I'm fine." ”
It always makes Hua Mian have an illusion, is this the wife found her missing husband?
Shaking his head, he helped Jinxuan up, pressed him on the stool, looked at the person in front of him who was raining tears, and sighed, "I'm really fine, nothing at all"
"Knock knock" is the sound of knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Master, the food delivered" is the meal sent by Jin Mancha.
Hua Mian wiped away her tears for Jinxuan and said outside, "Come in"
The person who came in put the food on the table in an orderly manner, kept his head down, only looked at the road under his feet, and said respectfully to Hua Mian, "Master, the golden shopkeeper said that the news has been sent"
Hua Mian nodded, "You go down"
Jinxuan's watery eyes said with a pitiful expression, "Why do they call you master, aren't you just a miracle doctor?" ”
Hua Mian glanced at Jinxuan lightly, looked at her favorite soup dumplings on the table, and said, "I'll know in two days."
Jinxuan was deflated.
Hua Mian took off her mask, took a bite of the bun she picked up, and squinted her eyes comfortably, although Hua Mian felt that she was not a picky eater, she had been following Chu Chenxi for a long time, and this mouth had also been raised, which would be estimated to be extremely hungry, and she felt that the soup dumplings could be so delicious.
Jinxuan saw the fragrance of Huamian's food, and also picked up the bun, stuffed it into her mouth angrily, and then picked one up and stuffed it into Jinyu's mouth.
Hua Mian raised her eyebrows and ignored it, and continued to eat, and the three of them ate lunch in a strange and quiet atmosphere.
However, in half a day, Chu Chenxi received the news of peace, Chu Chenxi received the news of Hua Mian's disappearance and never stopped resting until now, and went to the sky without sleep.
Now he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still gloomy, "Feng Xiao, go and find out why the emperor Lao'er dared to make a move on the medicine building, so open-minded, he did not hesitate to kill the killer to find out." ”
Hua Mian said that there must be a fuse for all abnormal things, although the four countries have coveted the medicine house and the holy hand of the divine doctor for a long time, but they have never been killed, this must be investigated.
"Also, the man in black who kidnapped Amiens will carefully check it out for me."
Feng Xiao pulled the reins lightly and stopped, and said towards Chu Chenxi Zhengse, "Deputy Pavilion Master, we can't find out about that man in black, his martial arts are above us or even above you, Deputy Pavilion Master, we can't find out."
A touch of shock crossed Chu Chenxi's already solemn face, he thought for a moment, turned the horse's head, "Let's go back to the pavilion first" and "drive"
"Driving"
The two of them drank lightly in unison, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and walked towards the road from which they came.
In the early morning of the next day, the three of them set foot on the road back to the Flower Pavilion, still Jinxuan drove, Huamian slept, and Jinyu played by herself.
It has been almost two months since Hua Mian came out of the Flower Pavilion, and it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in ten days, and he instructed Jinxuan to speed up and rush back before Chinese New Year's Eve.
Huamian obediently took medicine on time every day these days, and was going home, was seen weak by Chenxi, afraid that he would not let him eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and for a few days on the road, he fell asleep every day, because Huamian was in a hurry, afraid that it would be bitter for Jinxuan, and hired a coachman to drive, until he left the country of the underworld to change to Jinxuan.
"Childe, this is already out of the Netherworld, which direction are you going" Jinxuan stopped the car and asked Hua Mian in the car.
Covered with a thick quilt, half-lying on a small couch, holding a stove in her hand, the orthodox Jinyu played backgammon, and heard the words, "Walk into the mountains due north, and arrive almost before sunset"
Jinxuan sat on the wheel, her eyes dripping around, looking at a shirtless man, and then at a woman dressed in revealing and extremely amorous clothes, and said to Hua Mian in the car, "This place doesn't seem to belong to any country in Shikoku, and this place looks a little ....... It's a bit tough, like I've heard of it."
Huamian popularized Jinxuan to "This place is located at the junction of the four countries, because it is inaccessible, desolate and dilapidated, so the four countries are unwilling to divide this place as their own territory, and over time, this place has formed a black market, mixed with fish and dragons, and it is the truth that the weak and the strong eat the strong here." ”
Jinxuan poked her head into the carriage and whispered, "Then these people can't be provoked, they look so fierce"
Hua Mian nodded matter-of-factly, "As long as you can fight, you can mess with it"
Jinxuan wrinkled her nose, nodded clearly, and continued driving.
Along the way, Hua Mian was in a hurry, and the meals were all simple and did not delay and continued to hurry.
After a brief lunch on the road, I took a short break and went on the road.
Towards evening, the carriage drove into the mountains. Jinxuan looked at the trees around her, and asked Huamian "Where should I go?" There seemed to be no way.
"Keep going deep until someone stops you"
Although the name of the flower pavilion is the pavilion, but it is a whole mountain, this mountain is the territory of the flower pavilion, if you overlook the whole mountain from a high place there is no peculiar place, it is mostly the misty deep mountain old forest.
Because Yun Fei has laid out the formation here, unless someone who is proficient in the formation, he can only go around in this mountain, and he will definitely not find any trace of the Flower Pavilion.
"Ahh Hell," Jinxuan screamed in fright when the man in black suddenly came out in front of her.
When Hua Mian heard this, he shook his head speechlessly, how can he be regarded as a person with strong martial arts, how can he not even have the vigilance he should have, and he can scream in fright, there is no solution.
Leaned out of the car, glared at Jinxuan, and said in a slightly cool voice, "It's me"
As soon as Hua Mian entered the mountain, he took off his mask, revealing a small face with scars, which was a pass.
Jinxuan glanced at her face weakly, she really didn't blame her, this was already extremely desolate, and a man in black with a cold face suddenly appeared, I could only think that it was a ghost, who knew it was a person.
When the man in black saw Hua Mian, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Pavilion Master"
Hua Mian nodded, and reached out to Jinyu, who was squatting on the wheel, to hug her down.
Push Jinyu to the man in black, "Take him, Jinxuan take me to keep up with him, remember not to take a wrong step"
The man in black got up, picked up Jinyu with one hand, and led the way in front. Jinxuan carried a small burden on her back, grabbed Hua Mian's waist, and luckily kept up with the man in black.
