After coming out of the shopkeeper's shop, I didn't go far to the famous drum tower of Sijiu City. The Bell and Drum Tower is majestic and lofty, quite the atmosphere of the imperial city, standing in the square under the drum tower and looking up at the night view of the landmark buildings of the 49 City, it makes my chaotic thoughts gradually calm down.

What the big shopkeeper said just now really made me feel like numbness, what went through hardships in the north and south, and what I didn't see yet. The position of the big shopkeeper in my heart is faintly similar to the bell and drum tower in front of me, although it is close in front of me, it is always unattainable.

The panda stood behind me and silently lit a cigarette, and asked with a smile: "In front of you are the Tobacco Bag Xiejie and Houhai, can you go over and take a look?" โ€

I think about it, these two places are famous places in Beijing, since you have come over, it is better to go over and take a look, and it is not a waste of ticket money.

Walking along the slightly narrow road towards the distance, I walked through the Drum Tower Square, which was full of ordinary people. The difference between Sijiucheng and some of the gorgeous metropolises in the south is that she is often able to see the truth in the simplicity.

Even if there are no high-rise buildings, even if there is no magnificence, walking on the streets of Sijiu City can also feel a kind of graceful and regal atmosphere.

It is not far from the Drum Tower to Yandai Xiejie, and it is not far to arrive in a few steps. Fortunately, it is not the peak tourist season, otherwise it would be extremely difficult for me and the panda to get involved here.

This is not the first time we have been to Yandai Xiejie, we have both been here a few times in the past when we lived in Beijing. The elegant and agile voice of the singer who sings in the bar in Houhaili can be blown here by the night breeze, and it is quite a pleasant and lyrical feeling in the ears.

By this time, there were not many people on the streets, but most of the shops were still open. I actually began to envy the big shopkeeper, not only to be able to open his own antique shop in such a place where every inch of land is valuable, and the business is to make money every day, but also to be so close to these ancient deep streets and alleys, which is simply a kind of enjoyment.

The deeper you go, the closer the melodious singing in the bars in Houhai becomes. This time, we failed to win the magic weapon in the hands of the big shopkeeper, and our mood was inevitably depressed, but fortunately, such a scene made people forget their sorrows for the time being. If I remember correctly, after turning the corner, there is Houhai, and the sudden brightness of that moment will make people feel more comfortable.

After taking two more steps, I suddenly felt a pair of eyes hiding in the dark watching me, and I couldn't help but stop in my tracks.

"Yang Ye, what's wrong?" The panda asked in a low voice, I didn't rush to respond, I looked over by feeling, and happened to see a girl squatting under a Taoist temple not far away.

Apricot yellow shirt and carmine trousers, if such an outfit were worn on other girls, I would definitely give her a capital "vulgar". But the girl in front of me made it impossible for me to say this, because she wore this dress with aura.

is not only a beautiful face, nor is it just an unruly temperament, she gives me the overall feeling that she is a fairy and Buddha in the world.

Zhuge Chenxi, carrying a very small black bag, squatted under the eaves of Guangfuguan on the cigarette pouch diagonal street, looking out of place with this secular world, but integrated with the whole beautiful scenery.

If it weren't for her eyes locking on me first, I wouldn't have found out that she was here, and in the middle of the night, two of us who should have belonged to the two unrelated people of the world, the south and the north, met so ingeniously.

The panda politely stepped back into the crowd, and soon I couldn't find him, but Zhuge Chenxi gently stood up from the ground, shook the folds that were still on his trouser legs, and smiled at me very friendly but at a distance.

"Why are you here?"

The two of us asked this sentence almost at the same time, and we both smiled at the same time.

None of us seem to be prepared to define such behavior as "tacit understanding", which is just an excuse made up by strange men when they force the other person to have a crush on him.

Maybe Zhuge Chenxi thought that I was a guest from afar, so she answered my question first: "My grandfather's house is nearby, and I came out after dinner, what about you?" You're not in Sioux City? โ€

I was a little embarrassed for no reason, nodded and said, "I...... Come back and do something. Then he added thoughtlessly, "I'll leave tomorrow." โ€

Chenxi didn't ask for details, just nodded, and then asked, "How did you live in Sioux City?" โ€

"It's fine." Although these two words are a bit prevaricating and perfunctory, this is really my heartfelt answer.

A smile appeared in the corner of Chenxi's eyes, and she suddenly asked coldly, "Have you met the right girl?" โ€

I was a little caught off guard, but at the same time, the image of Xiao Qiao came to mind.

After thinking about it, I nodded and said, "I met one, and I think it's a girl I cherish." โ€

"The one I saw that day?" There was bitterness in Chenxi's smile, but there was also freedom and ease.

I didn't say anything more, and watched as Dawn turned and disappeared in front of me.

In the distance, a female singer came from a bar in Houhai, and the melodious singing voice came:

"Later, I finally learned how to love, but you are long gone, disappearing into the sea of people...... Later, I finally understood in tears that some people, once they missed it, were not in ......"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

We didn't go to Houhai that night, and the conversation between Dawn and me made me toss and turn all night, and I couldn't sleep.

My encounter with Chenxi is destined to be a fruitless fate, she and I are still young, I can't let a girl in her prime wait for me across the Yangtze River, right?

So I can't afford to give her a promise, and I don't want to give her a promise, it's better for two people to forget each other than to be together with each other.

Maybe one day when I return to Beijing, I can renew my relationship with Chenxi, but if she has become someone else's woman by then, I will never cry bitterly.

That's fate.

Without getting the big shopkeeper, Panda and I returned empty-handed, wasting a total of four round-trip tickets in vain.

After returning to Sioux City, Jiang Ren severely criticized the two of us, saying that we couldn't negotiate any business without him.

But on the bright side, Panda and I always felt that there was another Zen in the words of the big shopkeeper. Panda and I showed 100% sincerity, and the big shopkeeper has always taken good care of the two of us, and he can't just watch us run away in vain, which is not his style.

But as for what this Zen machine is, Panda and I don't have this understanding.

The task of subduing Shen Yingying was imminent, and the panda and I were empty-handed. As for Mr. Wei's side, I really didn't have the courage to contact him, because I knew that once Mr. Wei knew that we wanted to do something to Shen Yingying, he would definitely jump to his feet and scold us hairy boys for not doing what they could, which was simply ridiculous.

There was no way, in the end, we had to fight with Zhao Tiezhu. And Zhao Tiezhu's foot injury showed no signs of improvement, which was really worse.

Zhao Tiezhu is a wounded, Mr. Wei is unlikely to support us in doing such a ridiculous thing, and the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not so reliable, and Panda and I are really in dire need of manpower right now. Thinking about it, several masters of tinkering with ghosts and gods in Sioux City were excluded, and only one person was the right person.

Of course, this guy is Qin Yang's top staff member before his death, "Poisonous Tooth Mouse" Yu Sanlong.

I whispered the idea to Panda, who was not optimistic, but still supported me to give it a try.

With apprehension, I called the "fanged rat", and Yu Sanlong answered the phone with a humble and arrogant attitude: "Xiao Yang, what's the matter?" โ€

"Third master, have you heard of the female ghost Shen Yingying in red?" I asked with a smile.

Yu Sanlong was stunned for two seconds, said "no" coldly, and then hung up the phone directly!

I was stunned for a few seconds, and my mind was racing: Old thing, this is a ghost in my heart!

As a Sioux City person, how could he not have heard of Shen Yingying? Not to mention Shen Yingying, Yu Sanlong and the Shen family's treasures have all been in contact. From Cao Ying taking away the Shen family's treasure to Yu Sanlong's visit to Tuzhai Village, this is just a matter of one or two years of hard work, why does Yu Sanlong avoid talking about it when Shen Yingying is mentioned now?

The more this old guy doesn't give me face and hides it, the more I have to rise to the challenge. This time, not only do I need him to help me subdue Shen Yingying, but I also have to follow the vine and find out what is going on with the Shen family's treasures.

I put on my clothes and said loudly, "Panda, let's go, let's go visit Yu Sanlong!" โ€
