The distance between the upstairs and the neighborhood, Shen Shuyi was not a good ear, he couldn't hear what was noisy, he only looked at a few people in suits and tore the man for a while, but the man didn't seem to say a complete sentence except shaking his head, and after a while, one of them with a hat seemed to be angry, and took out something from his waist and put it on the door of the man's head.

Shen Shuyi reacted immediately, this group of people in suits was holding a gun in their hands! His heart jumped, and he suddenly realized that such a direct look was too conspicuous, so he hurriedly squatted under the table, carefully showing a little bit of his head to watch.

The man was obviously startled, and wanted to run as soon as he rushed to the market, but three or four of them ran away, and he was grabbed and dragged to the ground.

Although there are many people in the world, how can ordinary people dare to go up to help when they see such a posture, as if they didn't see it, and the business is still going on, just standing a little farther away and watching secretly.

The man with the gun bent down and whispered a few words in the man's ear, tugged at him in a warning for a while, and then let the man go.

Shen Shuyi squinted his eyes and wanted to look more closely, but he slapped a cold hand on his shoulder, and his soul was half frightened, and when he looked back, it was Ah Liu, who had just shouted tea and went upstairs, and this guy was still looking at him curiously.

Busy gasping for this breath, Shen Shuyi pulled Ah Liu up by the ear, and said in a low voice: "Are you trying to scare me to death?" After speaking, when he thought of the outside, he hurriedly bent down and turned back to look, those people were no longer in the corner, looking left and right, and saw a little figure at the end of the street.

"Ouch, young master, how can I?" Ah Liu is arguing, trying to earn but the more he earns, the more painful it becomes.

As soon as he let go, he took the teapot in Ah Liu's hand by the way, poured half a bowl in the porcelain bowl and drank it, after drinking, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said: "Qu Yun is just too messy, there is not even a notice, in the past, it was easy to see the big and small things, but now it is inconvenient." ”

Ah Liu sat down opposite, rubbed his ears and said, "Didn't you say that a few days ago, there is a county master in Xingzhen, but that day was far worse than our Quyun's." ”

Shen Shuyi nodded, shook his head, and said with a profound look: "Now, it's not a big deal, the county lord is useless, but it's a person who can be pushed out to block the knife, Qu Yun...... If there's something going on, it's going to have to be a knife for us. ”

Ah Liu laughed for a while, as if he had thought of something, and mysteriously approached and said, "Young master, I heard that there were gunshots not far from Quyun two days ago!" ”

Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and asked, "What gunshots, why don't I know?" ”

Ah Liu replied to him seriously: "Young master, you haven't woken up that night, I only heard it the next day, it seems to be quite intense, two people died, Brother Chenzi happened to deliver the goods that day, it seems that he saw it with his own eyes, but he refused to tell me." ”

The goods sent by Chenzi should be incense candles or dansha and other things, and they are on the original official road west of Quyun, and that side is now in chaos, and it is no longer possible to see the original so-called pipeline, not to mention, there are still a few water thieves stationed on the mountain, so the merchants are usually reluctant to go.

If there is a shootout in the vicinity, it is nothing, how can there be dozens of guns in the hands of the mountain and forest bandits, and it is normal to shoot two and kill two when they encounter a bad one.

"What's so strange about that? I remember a few years ago, there was a big ship on that side, and there were many deaths. He said.

Ah Liu shook his head and said, "But young master, the two water thieves who died this time don't recognize it." ”

The so-called recognition or not, is the saying of this place, which family of water thieves killed which family, the corpse will be hung out with a clear mark, which is also regarded as the rules of the industry, if you kill which family does not recognize, it is a broken rule, if it is spread out in the future, peers will not be able to raise their heads.

However, there are no absolutes.

"Where are the two people who died?" He asked.

Ah Liu thought for a while, and replied to him: "It seems that he came from far away, and he is wearing foreign clothes, which seems to be quite rich." ”

Shen Shuyi looked down at the tea bowl, there was a little precipitated crumble at the bottom of the bowl, and the breeze blew from time to time on the second floor, the tea swayed slightly, and the black granular tea powder was still erratic.

"It's enough to have money, isn't it all for money, maybe these two have a lot of money, and the thieves are afraid of Zhaofeng, so they kill people and rob money." He said indifferently, after speaking, he suddenly realized something, and his eyes couldn't help but look sideways out of the window, aren't the people on the corner of the street all wearing Western clothes, and they also have guns in their hands, is it a coincidence?

Ah Liuzheng nodded and said, "That makes sense...... It's really a disaster to be rich, I heard that the scene is very scary, I don't know how much money it is......"

Maybe not a penny...... Shen Shuyi said in his heart, these people obviously have their own purpose in coming to Quyun, even if the name of the fight is to run a business, the shell is empty, which water thief would be so stupid, so, if he thinks correctly, the two people who died must be ......

"Stick your head out," he beckoned, dipped some tea and drew a few strokes on the table, "do you understand, after a while you walk south along the street, just look for it from house to house, and don't come back if you can't find it." ”

Ah Liu lay on the table and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand what these strokes meant, and when he looked up, Shen Shuyi had already stood up and walked to the edge of the stairs.

"Eh, young master, what are you painting here?" He asked anxiously.

Shen Shuyi waved his hand behind him and walked downstairs directly.

There was just some bustle outside the teahouse, but it was still early, so he walked to the bridge and turned left, went to the waterway, and there were one or two small boats carrying passengers parked on the side.

One of the boatmen beckoned to him from afar, and when he looked at the others, they were all lazily lying in the boat, and without thinking about it, he stepped into the boat. The person holding the boat was a woman, not young, and her appearance was very pleasing, with a pair of dark hands holding a slender bamboo pole, looking very powerful.

Although she is a woman, the boat is very well supported, and it is very stable even when it comes to the corner, and if you change to some bad boatmen, you will be a little worried along the way.

On a long, straight waterway, he was looking at the surface of the water when he suddenly heard a question.

"You are the young master of the Shen family?" The woman asked with a smile at the stern of the boat, as if she knew him.

Shen Shuyi nodded and replied, "It's me." Then he looked up curiously, the young master of the Shen family may be famous in Quyun, but not many people know him.

The woman said, "I know you, you were classmates with my youngest son when you were a child in the school. ”

Shen Shuyi was stunned, school? It was a long time ago, and it wasn't actually a school, it was a broken house for some children to educate, and he wasn't going to school.

At that time he was about five or six years old, but he liked to run around all day, and once his father was too busy with his work to do so, and no one at home paid attention to it, so he ran through the streets and alleys alone, and somehow broke into the broken house, and he didn't care about what the gentleman said, but there were other children to play with, and it aroused his interest.

As a result, this stay was an afternoon, and when his father found that the child was lost, the sun had set, and when he found it again, it was already midnight. The gentleman looked at the child as if he had never seen this child before, no one came to pick him up after school, and he couldn't tell where his home was when he asked, Qu Yun's surname was Shen and they were not the only family, Mr. was kind, he was afraid that he would be arrested again, so he coaxed him to eat and drink, and waited until midnight to see people coming to find him.

This time he was okay, after all, he was a child, and his negligence was also an adult, and he didn't know anything else, his father slept in the ancestral hall for at least three nights.

Later, his family met Mr. Li, Lin saw that Mr. was not bad, and no one watched him at home all day, and he had nothing to do, so he sent him to the primary school, and he studied intermittently for more than a year, and then he began to get sick, and Mr. also left Quyun and never went to school again.

This matter is really long, if it weren't for the bad reputation of the Shen family, please don't come to Mr. Hao, otherwise he must be like Zhou Jingchen and Lu Qichi, who have been studying at home since childhood.

The woman saw that he thought for a long time, and then said, "My youngest son's name is Yuan Qingye, do you remember him?" ”

Yuan Kiyono ...... Shen Shuyi's mind was blank at first, and then a little memory emerged, in the dark and shabby house, there were only a dozen or so children, many of the children of ordinary families didn't even have names when they were young, Yuan Qingye He didn't remember, but at that time, there seemed to be a fat child like a dumpling rice ball, and even Mr. called him Yuanzi.

"I remember a little fat man...... A birthmark on the back of the neck? He said.

The woman nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, it's him, and I don't know why, our poor family was able to give birth to such a fat child, and I suffered a lot of sin." When he was a child, he would talk about you every day when he came back. ”

Shen Shuyi's mind was still a little foggy, not so much a rehash of the old things, but rather that he suddenly picked up something that was lost a long time ago, not a precious treasure, but unique. What he picked up was a little bit of his different childhood memory.

"How is he now?" He said carefully.

The woman laughed and said, "I have become much more, and I am not fat, but I think you were as thin as a bamboo pole." I don't know if he still remembers you for so long, but ah, although it has been a long time, Young Master Shen remembers it, and he shouldn't forget it. ”

Shen Shuyi nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine." ”

Turning a corner, the woman said: "Young Master Shen looks very good, you suddenly didn't come to the school to attend classes back then, but Yuanzi was in a hurry, I had to go to Shen's house to find you, I couldn't pull it, although I didn't see you later, but Master Shen treated our mother and daughter well, shhh ”

At this point, his memory began to fragment again, when was he still sick? Seven or eight years old? Five or six years old? He also can't say well, those three or four years are spent with the obscure ancient books in the ancestral hall and this unpleasant herb, because there are no bright spots at all, so it seems even more chaotic, he can't remember many things clearly, and he doesn't know that there is a playmate who has visited him, but it is estimated that his father is afraid that he will be sick to other children, and he is afraid that he will not tell him.
