"Call the car." Pei Qing turned around and ordered Yusu, Yusu just beckoned, and the big car just now leaned over from the side.

Yushu helped Li Yan get into the car, and he followed closely, Pei Qing turned his head and glanced at the boy curled up on the ground and the more angry middle-aged man, and motioned to Jin Dou: "Let people keep an eye on him quietly." Jin Dou agreed, Pei Qing got on the horse, and glanced at the boy who was curled up tighter, and the horse whip nodded: "Take a few taels of silver, and settle this matter." ”

The car walked very slowly, but it was much faster than Li Yan's own walking, and before Yushu could sit down, the car stopped at the door of a ready-to-wear shop.

Pei Qing was in front, Yushu supported Li Yan, and under the greeting of the shopkeeper and two or three mothers-in-law, he entered the private room at the back, and several mothers-in-law were busy with tea and snacks, beckoned into a row of little girls, and held all kinds of clothes such as skirts, long jackets, short jackets, half sleeves, etc., to Li Yan and Pei Qing.

Li Yan's interest shifted to the clothes, stood up, look at this piece, twist that piece, she almost didn't know these clothes, the materials, and she didn't know what the embroidery pattern meant, but these are all subsections, these clothes, they look very comfortable.

Li Yan touched it, twisted it, the mother-in-law looked at Pei Qing's eyes, and quickly folded it carefully, this master is really atmospheric, the clothes in their shop, at least in terms of price, are the first in Yangzhou, this girl takes a fancy to it, this master will buy it!

Li Yan touched more than a dozen pieces, clapped his hands and sat back, "We don't seem to be short of clothes." Li Yan watched Yushu speak, and Yushu sighed, "How can the eldest lady have clothes?" ”

Pei Qing laughed and motioned to her mother-in-law, "These clothes are quite decent." Check it out and send it back to the ship first. The latter sentence was instructed by Yusu, Yusu owes and agrees, Pei Qing stands up, "After all, it is a ready-to-wear shop, no matter how good the clothes are, it will be like this, first respond to the emergency, and then buy it again when you go back." It's almost noon, and a few specialty dishes in the Yuelou next to it are still passable, go and try them? ”

Li Yan nodded, stood up, came out of the side door of the garment shop, and walked past the two shops, which is the most famous Deyue Tower in Yangzhou City.

After passing through the Huan Gate and entering the lobby, Li Yan saw at a glance the boy with his eyelids hanging and shrinking himself in the corner of the stairs, the one who was curled up in front of the middle-aged man just now.

Pei Qing also saw it, frowned and looked at Jin Dou, Jin Dou's face was blue, and the master ordered to stare at him quietly, not saying that he wanted to stop him and not walk around, but the look in the eyes of the master was ......

Li Yan looked at the boy, his brows furrowed slightly, looked at it for a while, and then turned his head to look at Pei Qing, "You asked him to give him silver?" How much was given? ”

"Yes," Pei Qing was a little embarrassed indescribably, as for how much he gave...... Pei Qing looked at Jin Dou, Jin Dou hurriedly took half a step forward and replied in a low voice, "I gave ten taels." ”

The boy had already recognized Pei Qing and Li Yan, Li Yan did not deliberately lower his voice, her question, and Jin Dou's answer, the boy also heard it clearly, still hanging his head, but his two hands were clenched tightly, the whole person did not shrink in, but moved out, if he raised his head again, the whole person was a posture ready to fight to the death.

Pei Qing saw the two small fists that were trembling slightly from the toes he was tightly picking on the floor, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Yan looked at the boy, but he didn't seem to see the boy, stood for a moment, suddenly smiled, and muttered, "That's the case." ”

"How?" Pei Qing immediately asked, Li Yan glanced back at him, didn't answer his words, touched his body again, and turned back to ask Yushu, "What about the jade cicada?" ”

"Here." Yushu immediately found out from his sleeve pocket that the next day after the haunting in the capital, Chen Yanfeng asked people to send the variegated jade cicada and handed it to Li Yan, Li Yan pinched the jade cicada, and as soon as he raised his foot, Pei Qing stretched out his hand to block it, and then pointed to the boy's tightly clenched fist and signaled: "This child is wild." ”

"It's okay, he's too scared." Li Yan took a step to the side, bypassed Pei Qing, and stood in front of the boy, Pei Qing hurriedly followed.

"What's your last name? How old is this year? Li Yan bent down and looked at the boy's face from the bottom, the boy raised his head suddenly, and the two lips that were not thick were pursed into a line, looking directly at Li Yan, like a little beast protecting food.

Li Yan waited for a while, and saw that he was just wary of her like a fried little beast, and smiled, "If you don't say it, forget it." This jade cicada, you take it back and tie it around your brother's neck, if this jade cicada does not leave your body, your brother's strange disease will not be committed again. ”

The boy's eyes widened, and he looked stunned, "How do you know about my brother's strange illness?" My brother ......"

"Take it. Your aunt's illness can't be cured, just a few days. Li Yan stuffed the jade cicada into the boy's hand, took two steps back, and looked at Pei Qing, who at least looked very calm and calm, "Go upstairs or go to the back?" ”

Pei Qing didn't speak, only raised his hand to signal to go upstairs, Li Yan was holding his skirt and had just stepped on the steps, the boy looked up at Li Yan and took a step forward, "My name is Ning Yutai, and my brother's name is Ning Yufei." ”

Li Yan glanced back at him and smiled, barely pausing in his footsteps. Pei Qing followed behind her and glanced at Jin Dou.

The gang took out a clay of chicken soup and handed it to Ning Yutai, Ning Yutai took it, carried it carefully, walked out of the Deyue Tower with his head down, and went back to the Guanyin Hall in the east of the city.

Jin Dou gave his little guy a look, and the little guy was adorned with Ning Yutai and followed from afar.

Entering the upstairs private room and sitting down, Pei Qing really couldn't help it, looked at Li Yan and asked, "What did you see?" ”

"I can't tell." Li Yan looked around at the private room, looking very happy, Pei Qing was silent for a moment, and asked again, "The restaurant just now, you seem to be very sad, the newly opened restaurant is full of joy." ”

"There are too many unjust souls, and the death is too miserable." Li Yan didn't look at the private room, she looked at Pei Qing, she didn't plan to hide the changes in her body from him completely, if she didn't hide it, it should be better than hiding it.

Pei Qing's face changed slightly, although he thought of it, but hearing it so truly still made his heart instantly heavy, and he didn't know whether to go up or down.

"I used to hear people say that most of the people who died in the fire were actually smoked to death, just like covering their mouths and noses and suffocating to death, among the many ways to die, it was not too painful, and there were a few, it was burned to death, the fire burned to the clothes, then to the skin, and then to the meat, from the outside to the inside, burned through, people can die, this way of death, so miserable that it is about the same as a thousand cuts, and the people who died in that restaurant were burned to death." Li Yan's voice was flat.

Pei Qing's expression was as usual, but his face was still slightly pale, "That fire was put by Song Ande, the nephew of the Jiang family, the concubine of the King of Huainan, and he took a fancy to the restaurant, and the proprietor refused to change it...... It's so miserable, karma can't be escaped, right? ”
