Chapter 45: Meet Xu Sheng Again
Unexpectedly, this person in white was so familiar, and Xiao Yue recognized this person as Xu Sheng she had met by the river.
But this Xu Sheng didn't recognize Xiao Yue.
He saw Xiao Yue's face showing joy, and said with a look of wanting to speak: "Gongzi is born like this, I'm afraid he is not a local, do you have anything to say to me?"
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, he didn't recognize himself: "Xu Sheng, don't you know me?"
Xu Sheng looked at her for a long time: "Son, have we met?"
"Well, I met you in town last year, I want to buy an umbrella and I can't buy you to ask, remember?"
"Well, I seem to have some impressions, but I guess it's been too long, and I can't remember what you look like, I'm sorry. Xu Sheng was a little ashamed.
"Oh, it's fine. Xiao Yue waved her hand, and then she saw that Xu Sheng's dress was a little weird, not like ordinary clothes, and she asked curiously, "Why are you dressed like this?"
Xu Sheng's face suddenly darkened, and he said sadly: "My grandmother passed away. ”
Xiao Yue suddenly realized that he was wearing filial piety clothes.
"That... Please mourn!" Xiao Yue will not comfort people, and is a little incoherent: "Is there anything you need me to help with?"
Xu Sheng pretended to be strong and smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "Thank you, son, my grandmother has been buried and buried in the ground." ”
"Well, that's good, don't be too upset. Satsuki patted him on the shoulder, thinking that his grandmother should be the only one who died in the flood in Takeshi.
Xu Sheng suddenly remembered what Xiao Yue looked like when he saw him just now, so he asked, "Childe seems to have something to say just now, right?"
Satsuki looked at the grass huts around her, and the air was filled with the smell of grass, which should be the smell of a newly built grass shed.
"Do you have a place to live now?" Xiao Yue originally wanted to ask Mr. Pan about it, but she was still a little worried about this Xu Sheng.
"Thank you for your concern, I now live in the grass hut in front, but it's really simple, I'm embarrassed to invite Childe to be a guest. Xu Sheng rubbed the corners of his white clothes, a little cramped.
"The current situation is only temporary, don't worry too much. Xiao Yue didn't think about going to where he lived, "Are there anyone else in your family?"
"My parents died young, I lived with my grandmother, and now I'm alone... He lowered his head as he spoke.
Xiao Yue didn't expect that she was asking about other people's sad things today, and she was at a loss, and she was annoyed: "I'm sorry, I really didn't think it was like this." ”
Xu Sheng raised his head and said indifferently: "How can this be the fault of the childe, it is just my own life." After saying that, he pursed his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, and the dimple on the left side of his face was exposed.
Xiao Yue remembered the scene when she met him at that time, so the young man who loved to laugh and talk was so low now, she asked with concern: "What are your plans in the future?"
Xu Sheng looked into the distance and said, "This time I moved some things out of my home, and I plan to sell them or give them to the neighbors, and then go elsewhere to earn a living." ”
Satsuki then asked, "Is there a place to go?"
Xu Sheng smiled sadly and said, "Then what's the place to go, it's just where to go." ”
Xiao Yue sighed, remembering that she was so depressed when she first came to Luodai Town, and she couldn't bear it: "I have a restaurant in the imperial city of Yingjun, which is about to open, and I am going to recruit workers recently, are you willing to help me?"
Xu Sheng asked with some disbelief, "Is this true?"
Xiao Yue smiled and said, "I didn't come here alone this time, I am the master of Lord Wen, the minister of disaster relief sent by the imperial court, and opening a restaurant is one of my side jobs." ”
Xu Sheng's eyes lit up, he didn't think that he had inadvertently helped this son, and today he actually got this blessing, so he knelt down for Xiaoyue immediately: "The villain's surname is Xu Chengchang, and I thank the son for his great kindness." Then he knocked his head a few times, but Xiao Yue couldn't pull it.
"Xu Chengchang, don't be like this", Xiao Yue looked at the people who had already come over to see the excitement, and was a little embarrassed.
Xu Chengchang stood up, with tears in his eyes, and said to Xiaoyue with a smile: "Childe is not disgusted, please go to my grass shed in front of you to have a cup of tea." ”
Xiao Yue saw that there were more and more people, and she didn't want to sit here longer, so she nodded and followed Xu Chengchang to the grass shed in front.
Maybe it's because most of the victims have nothing to do now, and Xiaoyue is a fresh face, these people are very curious, and they all followed Xu Chengchang's grass hut.
Xiao Yue was a little helpless when she saw this, when she sat down in the grass shed, there were still a bunch of people watching the excitement in front of her, and she was not easy to drive away.
"Childe drinks tea. Xu Chengchang didn't know where to go, so he brought her a cup of hot tea.
Xiaoyue knew that at this time, a cup of hot water was also very rare: "It's bothering, in fact, I'm not thirsty, why be so polite."
"Yes, compared to Childe giving me a way out, a cup of tea is not enough at all. Xu Chengchang was much more energetic at this time than when he first met.
"Cheng Chang, I'm here to accompany the adults on a business trip this time, so I won't return to the imperial city immediately, do you think you are waiting for me to go back together or do you finish the matter here and go over in advance?"
"Since Childe is here for business, he definitely needs to run errands, so I will stay to help Childe. Xu Chengchang stared at Xiao Yue and said affirmatively.
Xiao Yue was a little happy when she heard this, she still needed a real local to come here for disaster relief, she boasted to Wen Youyou that she was a local at that time, but it was all nonsense.
"You really have a heart, I now live in the stone house of the county government, and the people in the county government know that I am the master sent by the imperial court, and they all call me Master Wen. Satsuki took a sip of tea, which was a little fragrant, but there were too many pieces of minced powder, and she had to drink it while blowing.
Xu Chengchang nodded, and Xiao Yue continued: "I have something that I need your help with, so I will naturally come to you." She looked at the onlookers outside and said, "I actually need your help today. ”
When Xu Chengchang heard this, he immediately sat up straight, tensed up and asked, "If the son needs anything, just ask, Chengchang will do his best." ”
Xiao Yue looked at him so hard, and was a little funny: "Don't be like this, it's not a big deal." ”
Seeing that she was so polite and kind, Xu Chengchang's body also relaxed a little: "If you have any orders, please tell me." ”
Satsuki put down the teacup, looked sideways at the people watching the excitement outside, and said loudly, "I remember that there was an inn in the town, do you know?"
Xu Chengchang smiled and said: "Everyone in that inn town knows that the shopkeeper's surname is Tu, and we all call him Tu Lao Fei in private, and he doesn't allow us to call him Tu Shopkeeper, I don't think it sounds good." The onlookers heard this and burst into laughter.
Xiao Yue also thought it was interesting when she heard it, no wonder she didn't know what the shopkeeper's surname was at that time.
"Where is the shopkeeper now, do you know?"
Xu Chengchang thought for a while and said: "When everyone moved to the mountain, he was also there, but he hadn't seen him for a few days. ”
The people next to me listened, you said it word by word, some people told Xiaoyue that the shopkeeper was still on the mountain, and he had seen it a few days ago, and some people said that the shopkeeper had left the mountain, and some people said that he had seen Xiao Er who was working in the inn today, and the shopkeeper must not have left.
Xiao Yue couldn't hear why, so she said to Xu Chengchang: "That's it, you help me pay attention to this matter." After speaking, she suddenly saw an old man with a somewhat familiar face standing next to the onlookers.
The man happened to be passing by, and he looked sideways at Satsuki, and although he had a surprised expression on his face, he didn't stop, and continued to walk through the crowd.
Satsuki looked at his back and suddenly remembered who he was.
