The other guest was a middle-aged man, in his early forties, with a handsome and elegant face, and a very gentle appearance.

"Master, is it done here?" The man in gray frowned and asked the middle-aged man's opinion, seemingly dissatisfied with the open-air environment of the porridge shop.

The middle-aged man nodded, "That's it." Let's hurry and don't care about the details. ”

"Yes." The man in gray nodded in response, then took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped the bench, and wiped the low table clean.

Seeing this, Li Changan couldn't help but say: "Two guest officers, we have to carefully wipe the table and stool every morning when we open the store, and there will be no floating ash on it, and it is very clean." ”

The man in gray ignored it, wiped the low table as usual, and then let the middle-aged man sit down.

The middle-aged man was easy-going, and said softly to Li Changan: "Little brother, don't be surprised, this is just our family's habit." What do you have to eat here? ”

"There are steamed buns, there are porridges," Li Changan said, "sweet porridge and white porridge with toppings are both a penny a bowl, vegetarian buns are a penny, meat buns are two pennies, what do you want to eat?" ”

The gray-clothed man frowned, and asked the middle-aged man in a low voice: "Master, just these few things to eat, I'm afraid you can't get used to eating them, or ...... Let's go find a restaurant, shall we? ”

"Shh Li Changan glanced at the man in gray, "The guest officer is not a local, right?" I don't know that only Xiaoshi can have breakfast in the morning around here? If you want to go to a restaurant, you have to walk five miles west from here to Qinghe Town to find a restaurant that opens. ”

The middle-aged man stroked the beard on his chin and shook his head, "Third child, it's just that, when you go out, being particular will only increase your own trouble." Little brother, then bring me some of the best things in your house, and I will pay you the money. ”

"Okay!" Li Changan quickly put down the buns, jumped up from the low table, went to Hemai to bring a plate of fried buns, and brought two bowls of porridge, and smiled at the two people, "Guest officer, use it slowly." ”

After the two of them had eaten, Li Changan went into the store, scolded them, and whispered to He Mai: "What do you guess they are here for?" ”

He Mai concentrated on frying the buns, and when he heard this, he glanced at the two of them, but he didn't feel anything special. But she saw that the man in gray was obviously a little restrained at the dinner table, and he was not as easy-going as the other middle-aged man.

She looked at it carefully and came to the conclusion, "This is a pair of master and servant, right?" ”

Li Changan raised his eyebrows and nodded in acquiescence.

"I don't know what to do, though." She looked at it a few more times, then lowered her head.

"They're here, I guess! Li Changan said with a grin.

He Mai raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing that Li Changan could see their purpose after a few glances, "Then how did you see it?" ”

"It's very simple," Li Changan quietly pointed to a canvas on the waist of the man in gray with his hand, "If I'm not mistaken, he will come and ask us in a moment if we have seen the person in his portrait." ”

He Mai naturally didn't believe it, shook his head and refused to listen to Li Changan's nonsense, "You are not a worm in someone else's stomach, what others are doing, how can you be so clear?" ”

"It's experience, experience! It's all taught to me by the boss! Hmph, what if I guessed correctly? Li Changan asked with a hum.

"Then I will add an extra half a catty of meat to the dinner I brought you this month!" He Mai stared at him and said.

Li Changan was overjoyed, "A word is a certainty!" ”

Who knew that things were really as Li Changan guessed, when he was paying for the buns, the man in gray took out a copper plate from his pocket and handed it to Li Changan, and then took out the canvas on his waist.

"Have you ever seen this person?" The man in gray asked Li Changan.

Li Changan glanced at the portrait of the woman on the canvas a few times, and hurriedly waved at He Mai, "Come and see, have you seen this person?" ”

He Mai was surprised and opened the desk from the store and walked out, and looked at the portrait of the woman on the yellow cloth with Li Changan.

The woman in the portrait was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful and flying face, and a very bright and dazzling smile, but this girl was very faceless, and He Mai had never seen it, so she shook her head, "I have never seen it." ”

The man in gray only exhaled as if he had expected Hemai's reaction, but did not show much disappointment.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man's eyes were darkened, and his face was still calm, as if he was used to it.

"This woman ...... I seem to have seen it somewhere......" Li Changan muttered.

The man in gray was startled and hurriedly asked, "Where!?" ”

"I think about it, I think about it......" Li Changan grabbed his hair and fell into deep thought, "Where have I seen her......"

The gray-clothed man and the middle-aged man's eyes were staring at Li Changan tightly, and the nervous look almost made He Mai hold his breath and freeze, hoping that Li Changan could remember the scene as soon as possible.

"It's on the dock in Qinghe Town! I remember! Li Changan shouted, "When she just got off the boat, she cried and cried, and not long after she got off the boat, she shouted that she had been deceived, and she wanted to go back to find her father and brother, and said that she was Du Mingcheng's daughter......"

The middle-aged man's face changed greatly, his body shook, and asked, "And then?" Where did she go? ”

Li Changan scratched his head, "Then she seemed to be foaming at the mouth, and she fainted, and then I left, I don't know where she went." ”

The man in gray grabbed Li Changan's collar irritably, and asked angrily, "You give me a good thought, and then where did she go!" ”

What are you doing!? Li Changan angrily broke free of his hands and said angrily: "If you can't think of it, you can't think of it!" I won't tell you when I think about it! ”

"You ......" The man in gray was very angry, and wanted to come up to arrest Li Changan, but was stopped by the middle-aged man.

"Third child, don't be rude!" The man frowned and reprimanded, turned his head and apologized to Li Changan: "Little brother, my brother is also in a hurry, we have been looking for the girl in the portrait for a long time, and not long ago I got a clue that she might be in this place, so I came here." If the little brother can provide some clues, we will be grateful. ”

Li Changan's face was flushed, and he refused to accept the man's apology, so he turned his head away angrily.

He Mai took his arm and comforted him, saying, "I see that they are very anxious, and if you can remember, tell them, isn't it a good thing?" ”

"I don't know where she went!" Li Changan lowered his voice and said, "Just now he was still doing something with me, why should I tell him?" ”

Li Changan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly showed a teasing smile, "I don't know where she went, but I know something else!" ”
