Chapter 6: The Truth Revealed
The owner of the cloth shop is still secretly sewing and mending the clothes that the customers have accidentally scratched. Just as the boss skillfully pulled and sewed the needle and thread for the last time, the sound of rubble rubbing his footsteps outside the door made the cloth shop owner smile. looked at Yuanchen who came in with a happy face: "This guest officer, I'm here to buy clothes." Then he casually took a piece of clothing covered with golden light and printed it on Yuanchen's body. Sensing the toughness of Yuanchen's chest and arms. The boss has the bottom in his heart.
"This guest official came just in time, this dress is made of the finest fabrics from all over the world, the silk of Hebei, the yarn of Jiangnan; Changzhou, the silk of Pengyue Erzhou. There are more than a dozen varieties of arms in the category, and once someone could not cut this garment with a fine sword. It is most suitable for a hero like you who walks the rivers and lakes. ”
"Thank you for the owner's compliment, the owner doesn't have to recommend it to me anymore, I came this time mainly to ask the owner about something and leave, and ask the owner to inform." Yuanchen bent down and thanked the shopkeeper, signaling that the shopkeeper didn't have to say more inconsequential words to Yuanchen.
Shopkeeper Li showed a moment of loss on his face when he learned that Yuanchen was not here to buy clothes, but he still politely returned, "I know everything, Shaoxia, please ask." ”
Yuan Chen leaned over the shopkeeper and covered his mouth with his palm next to him and asked in a low voice, "May I ask if Boss Li has anyone who makes children's clothes here with you recently?" ”
"In the past two days", the shopkeeper browsed the store, and the moment he aimed at the counter, the shopkeeper suddenly ran to the counter and turned out a stub of a silver ticket.
He handed over the stub and said, "It's Ma Quanyou, he ordered children's clothes from me a few days ago, you see, this is the stub of the silver ticket when he paid me that day." ”
Yuanchen Hukou held his chin and thought, now there is proof of the silver ticket, that is, the clothes and medicines that Ma Quanyou bought for the sunspot were all bought near Jianye City, and the pharmacy may have the silver ticket left by Ma Quanyou, and with the silver ticket in his hand, he can determine whether Ma Quanyou stole that day. Yuanchen's frowning brows relaxed, and after saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, he hurriedly rushed to the pharmacy next to him.
A burst of medicinal smell came to the nostrils, and there were medicine jars at the door, and the addition of fire made the rich and lightly fragrant medicinal gas inside fragrant for ten miles. Yuanchen looked at the plaque above. "Rejuvenation Hall"
Walking into the store with hurried steps, his swinging arm touched the wooden table where the medicine jar was placed, and the medicine jar was stable after a few upside downs. The green-clothed and white-haired old doctor walked at the same time with the steps of Yan Shan, touched his little heart with a tone that had escaped, and said with a smile: "Young man, what is the matter in such a hurry?" You can't be in a hurry when you are riddled with diseases, otherwise you will be in a hurry and the virus will worsen, which will not be good. Our rejuvenation hall is a time-honored brand in Jianye City, with a history of more than 100 years, and the young man does not have to worry about his condition. ”
Yuan Chen grinned at the old doctor slightly: "I'm sorry old man, you are worried about me, in fact, I came this time to ask Ma Quanyou if he has come to prescribe medicine for typhoid fever to cure typhoid fever." Also, if you want to offend the old gentleman, please give me the silver ticket given by Ma Quanyou for observation. I'll explain it to Zhao Zhutou. Yuanchen held the token in both hands and handed it to the doctor to watch.
The old doctor stroked his beard and smiled: "It turns out that the young man is for Ma Quanyou's business!" He doesn't seem to have come to prescribe our medicine for typhoid fever in the past few days, and he doesn't seem to have any symptoms of typhoid fever. When he turned around, he tinkered with other medicine jars, smelling the fragrance of medicine, and seemed to think of something, "But it is a prescription, and it is a treatment for children's convulsions." Kuroko also has such a disease. I've even sent him medicine a few times. Then he walked over to the drawer and pulled out two brand-new silver tickets, one stub.
At a cursory glance, it is indeed the same as the handwriting of the cloth shop owner, it seems that there is some connection between these things, and the silver ticket is not Li Shanren's silver ticket. After leaving, Ma Quanyou could not be a thief, as long as he found the time to prove that he was not a thief. Heizi said that he didn't know who his father was, but Ma Quanyou was so good to him, and Hei'er's mother, Xiaohua, seemed to be deliberately concealing it. As long as it can be proved that Tianma Quanyou is going to find sunspots and small flowers, won't all the problems be solved? Yuan Chen smiled contemptuously, secretly admiring his ingenuity.
After thanking the old doctor, he ran to open the curtain and was about to run out, but he bumped into his arms, and a big girl's mouth happened to match. The woman picked up the jade hand and was about to hit Yuanchen, Yuanchen felt that the situation was wrong, so he immediately ran away, and the doctor shook his head, hey: "This kid." ”
Looking around, I saw Ma Quanyou sitting on the wooden board and looking at the passers-by with blank eyes, Ma Quanyou did not smile and sell his Ma's sour dates like a businessman, but sat on the wooden bench and was secretly worried. I saw him sigh softly and pound the sour dates on the slate. Yuanchen patted Ma Quanyou on the shoulder from behind, and when he saw that it was Yuanchen, he forced a smile, "Guest officer, isn't it" was about to take the stool Yuanchen, Yuanchen grabbed Ma Quanyou's hand, and pressed Ma Quanyou to the ground as soon as he twisted around, and said to him: "Come back to the yamen with me, I suspect that you are the thief who left the theater on the day of the performance." ”
Ma Quanyi heard what Yuanchen said like a carp in a net, and opened Yuanchen's hand vigorously, "Shaoxia, I'm not, you listen to me, things are not what you imagined." I can tell you the inside story, but I have a request. Just ask you to help me keep it a secret. ”
Finally forcing Ma Quanyou to tell the truth, Yuanchen frowned and thought. Both hands let go, and Ma Quanyou. When the sturdy horse got up, his legs twitched and he fell to the ground limply. It turned out that he hadn't eaten for a few days. Ma Quanyou actually sat directly on the ground. I saw that his eyes were a little moist, his fists were clenched, and he sighed: "I'm really useless." ”
"Let the young man laugh, in fact, I am Lei Heizi's father."
Ma Quanyou is really Kuroko's father, but why hide it? Yuan Chen pretended to be surprised: "What, are you really Kuroko's father?" ”
Nodding his head, he pointed to the willow tree next to him. "Years ago, Kuroko's mother and I were Xiaohua. We met here, and it was very hot, so she sat down under the willow tree next to her. Don't look at her coarse linen now, it's because I don't have much ability to make her live a good life. At that time, Xiaohua was wearing a plain dress. Passers-by looked back at everything they saw. At that time, I happened to make a new batch of sour dates, so I gave them to Xiaohua to taste. After that, Ma Quanyou smiled and asked, "Shaoxia, do you believe in love at first sight?" ”
Yuan Chen paused for a moment and did not answer.
"However, we fell in love at that time, Xiaohua is a rich lady, and I am just a rough man who sells dates. Xiaohua came together despite the disparity in status at that time, but Xiaohua was kicked out of the family because of me. Xiaohua and I had endured too much cold eyes at the time. Faced with the entanglement at home, Xiaohua chose to sever the father-daughter relationship with his father. I also chose to hide my identity as Xiaohua's husband, silently supporting their mother and son, originally we could only meet once on July 7, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. But recently, Kuroko's condition has worsened, and I'm worried, so I left the scene early just to secretly send new clothes to Lei Kuroko, sour jujube convulsive medicine. In order not to reveal my identity, I had to lie to you, hoping that Shaoxia would not mind and help me keep it a secret. ”
Ma Quanyou's home is only a street away from Xiaohua's home, and they all silently endure the happiness that the husband and wife originally shared for the happiness of the sunspot. Less reunion, more worry. In their hearts, they all hope that every day is the day of Tanabata. There are no words for each other, only a thousand tears
