Chapter 19: Fate

The Jinshui River is sparkling, and countless river lanterns of different colors are scattered among them.

Su Mu held a blue lotus lantern and looked at the people around him helplessly: "It's obviously the river lantern you bought, why do you want me to put it." ”

Xiahou lowered his eyes and played with the jade pendant on his waist: "I give you my wish." ”

By dissolving the moonlight, Su Mu looked at him quite amusedly: "So, can I make two wishes?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xiahou shook his head, his eyes like a blue sea were cast on the surface of the water, and rippling ripples were reflected in them.

"Promise one, but let's make it together."

It's all because the moonlight is too good today, Su Mu said to himself in his heart. Carefully placed the river lamp in his hand on the ground, and then lit the red candle in the center. Su Mu picked it up and gently put it into the water, and then followed the current forward a few times.

Slowly, the lotus lantern drifted farther and farther, and finally converged into the lantern group, which could no longer be recognized.

The two stood side by side on the wooden stack, their eyes were all attracted by the lanterns, although they did not speak, but there was a strange tacit understanding in the silence.

A cool breeze hit, and Su Mu shivered. However, before the shiver was over, he was covered by a coat.

"Hmm!"

In front of the trestle, two girls who came to put river lanterns in groups looked at this side and covered their mouths and smiled. Su Mu pulled his head out from under his coat, and before he could say anything, he met them with a playful look.

…… Why do you have a look that you know everything, no! You don't know anything!

Su Mu was originally wearing a bit of a big shirt, although because of his all-round temperament, not only is it not difficult to see that there are even a few different styles, but the cool breeze of the autumn night is incomprehensible.

Xiahou Sha stretched out his hand to wrap his coat well, and his pursed lips made people feel as if he was doing something extremely important.

The two girls' smiles were even more pronounced, and they even whispered to each other.

Lang Lang was under the autumn moon, looking at Xiahou Sha who bowed his head to tie his clothes and belts, Su Mu was inexplicably weak-hearted.

“…… Let's go. Without waiting for Xiahou to react, Su Mu grabbed his wrist through his clothes and turned around: "It's a dry autumn day, let's go and drink a bowl of pear water together." ”

Clear the heat and moisten the dryness, and it is best to reduce the fire for him by the way.

The streets by the river were a little dim, Su Mu pulled people to hurry forward, and Xiahou followed behind with kindness. After walking away for a while, Xiahou Sha suddenly grabbed him with his backhand.

"What for?" Su Mu turned his head in fright, and at the same time immediately withdrew his hand.

Xiahou was silent, and his clear blue eyes seemed to dim for a moment. He pointed to the side of the road, "It's here." ”

"Sweet and sour lychee paste, cool and delicious pear juice~"

The crisp shouting sound made Su Mu come back to his senses, and he looked at the sugar water shop in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Oh." Dryly answered.

"Otherwise, another one?"

As soon as Xiahou Sha's voice fell, the proprietress standing in front of the sugar water shop was unwilling. She had a round face and almond eyes, a pair of thick and dense eyebrows, and a bulging chest wrapped in a pink cardigan, and the eyes of the men sitting around the table were straight.

"What the little brother said is not followed, if the slave's sugar water ranks second in Yecheng, then no one dares to be first." The proprietress spoke quickly and quickly, but her voice was very soft, and she turned her anger into flirting: "If Nong changes the house, he will definitely regret it!" ”

Su Mu, who was originally embarrassed, seemed to have found the steps, and immediately went downhill: "Since the boss lady said so, then let's try it." ”

The proprietress who pinched her waist performed a change of face on the spot, she pulled down the corners of her mouth, pointed to the empty table inside and said, "Childe, please inside~"

The stall is set on the corner of the street, with three simple tables inside, and a shelf for the proprietress to make sweet water outside. After asking them what they wanted, the proprietress twisted her waist and did it.

Su Mu casually looked around and found that there were four men sitting at the two tables next door. There wasn't much on the table, and their eyes were sticky around the proprietress all the time. Seeing those lewd eyes, Su Mu felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

"Ouch!"

"Who hit me?"

Several screams suddenly sounded, and the men at the table next to them stood up one after another, covering their heads and backs. Just as they were scolding, Su Mu suddenly heard the sound of breaking the air.

"Ahh

This time, everyone saw clearly that the stones that had struck several people were stones shot from the darkness. The foreheads of the four people were bruised, and they screamed in pain when they touched it slightly.

"Who? Who dares to beat you Uncle Ma! ”

"Get out of here!"

The four of them were so angry that they couldn't see who they were.

The movement here alarmed the proprietress and she ran out from behind the shelf wrapped in an apron: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

She was taken aback when she saw the wounds on the heads of the four men, and then panic flashed in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Lao Tzu also wants to know what's wrong! Who the hell is looking for bad luck! A big man with a scar on his face spat on the ground, his eyes were rolling around, and his eyes suddenly moved after seeing the two Su Mu sitting calmly next to him.

"Say! Did you do it? The big man picked up the chopsticks on the table and fell over, and his eyes were full of fierceness: "Dare to plot against the uncle, you are not small!" ”

The other three were instructed and walked around with sinister smiles on their faces.

The confused proprietress looked at Su Mu and the two, her eyes changed several times, and finally she gritted her teeth and stepped forward with a smile: "Ouch, this must be a misunderstanding!" Master Ma, you should give the slave family a face, these two little brothers are white and tender, can they hurt your masters? ”

The scar-faced man sneered: "For your sake, who are you?" Could it be that you have finally figured it out and are willing to follow Ma Ye? ”

Du Sanniang's face froze, she turned back slightly to look at Su Mu and the others, and motioned for them to leave quickly.

"The posture of the slave family, where do you dare to climb the horse? Moreover, the slave family already has a father-in-law. ”

Scarface snorted coldly: "Toast and don't eat and drink, tell you that Ma Ye has been putting up with you." I don't want to put up with it today, you'd better get to know me! ”

The other three also laughed: "It's just that I say I have a man every day, but I don't see a man there?" ”

"I guess it's a turtle king, I don't dare to come out in my shell~"

"Hahaha!"

The smile on Du Sanniang's face froze, and her fingers curled up slightly, as if she was trying her best to endure something.

The more those people talked, the more obscene they became, and Su Mu couldn't help but stand up. As soon as he moved, Xiahou Sha suppressed him, and spit out two words in his thin lips: "I'll come." ”

Like a dragon.

It was a one-sided beating, but in a moment, all four of them lay on the ground. This time, they didn't even moan.

"It's too noisy."

Su Mu shook his head and quickly stood up: "They didn't die, did they?" ”

Although these people are hateful, they are not guilty of death, at least not at the hands of Xiahou Sha.

Du Sanniang, who was stunned, was also frightened, and she hurriedly pounced: "They are members of the White Tiger Gang, and the White Tiger Gang will definitely not stop if they are killed, you guys go quickly!" ”

Xiahou stopped Su Mu and looked at the people on the ground with some disgust: "I'm not dead, I'm just dizzy." ”

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, how to deal with the aftermath." ”

Du Sanniang, who squatted down to check, also found that although these people looked miserable, they did still breathe. She raised her head, and the previous charm between her eyebrows and eyes disappeared, leaving only gratitude and apology: "Then they don't dare to do it directly if they think of more people, so they ...... It's me who has involved two people in a row, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, the two of you go first, and leave the rest to me. ”

Su Mu said softly: "We beat people, so there is a reason to stop here." ”

Xiahou Sha took a step forward in front of Su Mu, raised his right hand and made a gesture. Almost immediately, two men in black rushed through the night.

"Send it to the Yamen."

"Whoa."

Without further ado, the two of them were very neat and disappeared as quickly as they came.

Su Mu looked at the back in front of him, and snorted silently in his heart. What is lost, the feelings are all hidden!

Du Sanniang sat on the ground in a trance, she grabbed her apron, and couldn't believe that the big problem that had been bothering her had been solved like this.

Su Mu walked out from behind Xiahou and felt a little pity when he saw her: "Don't worry, the boss lady, if those people do a lot of evil every day, the yamen will definitely deal with it impartially this time." ”

Du Sanniang raised her head, with a crying smile on her face. She stood up on the ground and wiped her face as she regained her composure. Du Sanniang saluted deeply towards the two: "Thank you to the two benevolent dukes, the women have nothing to repay, they can only tie the grass in the next life......"

Xiahou Sha wanted to repeat the old trick again, but Su Mu quickly grabbed him. While exerting his strength, he interrupted Du Sanniang's words: "No, no, don't you say that your family is the first in Yecheng, boss?" Why don't you just give us two bowls of pear water? ”

"Poof." Du Sanniang couldn't help but smile and said: "The little boy is really joking, what is the pear water worth for two nights, if you like it, the woman will copy the recipe to you." ”

With such a face, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh: "The world is not easy, and it is sinful. The proprietress has a father-in-law, so let him accompany you to set up a stall that night. ”

Xiahou Sha, who was struggling disdainfully, suddenly quieted down, and he pulled Su Mu to sit back again.

Du Sanniang, who stayed in place, had a little surprise in her eyes, and she hesitated for a while before suddenly kneeling to the ground.

Su Mu was startled, and immediately stood up and turned sideways: "What does this mean?" ”

Du Sanniang kowtowed a few times on the ground, but in the blink of an eye, a few strands of her loosely held hair hung down, and blood also appeared on her forehead.

"The two sons are noble people and good people. Folk women brave...... The women are shameless and want to ask for one thing......"

The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. The relationship between Du Sanniang and her father-in-law is very simple, like thousands of people in this world, it is the elders of the family who make the decision, and then they become relatives after the ceremony.

However, three days after getting married, her father-in-law went to Beijing to take the exam, and since then, there has been no news.
