After Gongsun Shengyan felt a little better, he quietly memorized the "Secret of Chance", and with the experience of the last two times, he deliberately separated the words and sentences when reciting, and did not dare to use the strength of his physical strength at all. He didn't drink the decoction sent by the little Taoist, but just made a thank you expression, sent the little Taoist back the same way, and after he finished reciting, he picked up the scroll and checked it again, confirmed that it was correct, and then went back to his room, packed up his things slightly, put the bag on his back and left the Pillow Cloud Temple.

In less than half a year, Gongsun Shengyan has experienced too much, from a rich son to a homeless man chased by the family, and he was also charged with murder. All of this was like being stabbed with a sharp knife in his heart, stimulating him again and again, but Gongsun Shengyan gradually became numb, the fate that Mr. Bai said was probably like this, without brocade clothes and jade food, without fast horses and light fur, he was still himself. He kept cheering himself up on the way down the mountain, returning to Jiangnan, returning to the place where he was haunted by his dreams, even if he would die there, he would try his best to prove his innocence, not insulting the surname Gongsun, and not missing Zhou Xue's deep affection for him at the beginning.

A month later, outside an inn in Panlong City.

This time the winter came unusually early, and the previous day it was only cold and windy, but this morning, the residents of the city opened the door and found that the outside world was covered in snow, a foot of snow thick, and there were goose feather-like snowflakes floating in the sky.

In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, every household is busy adding charcoal to the brazier, and the pedestrians outside are so cold that their hands and faces are red, but they can't stop the joy in their hearts, after all, it is the first snow of the year, and they are full of white, who is not happy. Acquaintances on the side of the road happily chased and frolicked with snowballs in their hands, and some of them had already piled up snowmen of all sizes in front of their homes, and no one noticed a tall and straight young man walking alone in the snow, and it seemed that he had walked a long way, and a snowflake with the thickness of a fingernail had accumulated on his head and shoulders.

"Panlong Inn. He stopped outside a large inn, looked up at the plaque, patted the snow off his body, and stepped inside.

"Guest officer, please, this side ......" Xiao Er beckoned to the young man, "It's snowing, please take a seat, do you want a bowl of ginger soup from our store to dispel the cold?"

The young man nodded, and Xiao Er took the ginger soup awkwardly. He picked up the small burden next to him, carefully patted the snowflakes on the bag, opened it, groped in it for a while, and took out a little bit of silver.

The ginger soup was warm, and after drinking it, it was warm from the throat to the lower abdomen, and the young man closed his eyes and felt it, and licked his lips with his tongue quite satisfied. After coming out of the White Emperor City, he took a boat all the way east, and in the days of peace and boredom, he relied on repeated communication with the spiritual sense in his body, going back and forth to figure out those broken books, unconsciously improving his skills, and his physique was different from ordinary people.

"Little Er......" Gongsun Shengyan raised his hand and wanted to summon Xiao Er to serve some wine and food, and he had a lot of dealings with the boatman on the boat, and he also learned to drink.

"I want to eat meatloaf, I want to eat meatloaf......" A noisy sound came from the door, Gongsun Shengyan turned his face to look, a short and fat child, who looked like he was only eight or nine years old, was opening the curtain to go to the inn, and one arm outside the door passed through the door curtain, and picked up the child by the waist, it seemed that he didn't plan to buy meatloaf for the little fat man to eat. This annoyed the little fat man, although he was lifted in the air, but his hands and feet were not tied, so he closed his eyes and used his hands to break the arms around his waist, and his legs kicked wildly, and his mouth babbled endlessly.

The person who hugged the little fat man was messed around with him, and it was not easy to work hard through the curtain, so he had to open the curtain and walk in, but his hand was not relaxed, and he was still holding the fat waist of the little fat man. This person has thick eyebrows and broad face, beard, and although he is tall in the average person, he can also see the bulging muscles on the back of his chest through his clothes, and his upper body seems to be square at a glance.

"Babble...... Meatloaf, I haven't eaten meatloaf in a long time, I want to die meatloaf. Second uncle, babble, meatloaf...... "This little fat man seems to have been stunned by the meatloaf, and he shouted to the end and couldn't stop sucking saliva while making a sound, no wonder he can grow so fat.

The second uncle was tossed and found that all the diners in the store turned their faces to look at themselves, just like watching a monkey trick, and everyone's eyes revealed the exclusive look when watching the excitement.

"Ahem......" He embarrassedly put the little fat man down, coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, glared at the little fat man fiercely, and then got up and took the little fat man's hand and walked in, and said self-deprecating as he walked, "It seems that they are really not wrong to call you a little cake behind their backs." ”

"Second uncle, pay attention to your words. The little fat man actually looked abrupt, raised his head with a straight face and educated his second uncle, don't look at him childishly, but the words he said were like an adult with a lot of status.

"Ho......" His second uncle raised his eyebrows, but it was a pity that there were many customers in the store, and being angry with a child was really made fun of, so he had to swallow the rest of the words in his stomach and eat this secret loss.

"Second Master Chu......" The second master ran over with a smile on his back, "What do you eat?"

"Meatloaf Meatloaf Meatloaf Meatloaf ......" Before this Second Master Chu answered, the little fat man's cannon-like meatloaf squirted out of his mouth, and he almost didn't wash Xiao Er's face.

"Meatloaf. Second Master Chu replied helplessly.

Xiao Er continued to bow over and laugh and took a few steps back, then quickly walked to the kitchen door and shouted: "Second Master Chu's meatloaf, increase the meat." ”

Gongsun Shengyan watched this scene in his eyes without leaking, and his heart churned. The sound of this little cake was the same as the little cake that smashed him with a fireball in front of the cave that night, coupled with this vexatious character and chattering words, it was even more confirmed. It turned out that this little fat man's surname was Chu, and looking at the attitude of Xiao Er in the store towards his uncle, their family should be a local of Panlong City.

From the conversation between the little fat man and the big stick that night, he knew that the little fat man was going to Pillow Cloud Temple to find someone, although he was still not sure who he was looking for, but Gongsun Shengyan made up his mind to follow the little cake, the eight or nine-year-old child was not sensible and couldn't say that he was ugly, but the big stick might not be able to get something from his mouth.

In fact, Gongsun Shengyan has no better choice, according to his situation here and now, everything depends on pushing first, and if he can't push it out, he relies on guessing, and if he can't guess it, he stumbled into an opportunity by mistake, and he was no longer alone in his limited learning, and he was reluctant to let the opportunity slip away from his hands in vain.

Second Master Chu smiled and watched his nephew gobble up more than a dozen meatloaf, and he didn't stop it, and it seemed that he was quite confident in the little fat man's appetite. When he finally ate the thirteenth, Xiao Bi held his stomach with both hands, looked at the meat patty, and then looked at Second Master Chu, and immediately made a long and loud burp.

"Full?" Second Master Chu's tone was a little deliberately teasing the little cake.

"Don't eat it yet, pack it. "The little cake is bold and dry.

The uncle and nephew cleaned up, pushed the door and went out, Xiao Er was still behind him and bowed down like a sycophant to see off the guests, Gongsun Shengyan saw the door curtain falling from behind the two of them, got up and picked up the burden and pulled his legs and followed.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier outside, and when I looked up at the sky, I saw a large snowflake set in a dark color by the sky, pressing down from the top of my head. Pedestrians were even more scarce than before, and Gongsun Shengyan and Xiao Biscuit's uncle and nephew distanced themselves and pretended to follow intentionally or unintentionally. There was a T-junction in front, the uncle and nephew put their hands in their pockets and lowered their heads and turned into the left-hand side, Gongsun Shengyan was afraid of losing it, so he quickened his pace and turned left at the T-junction.

It turned out to be a dead end, and the little cake was holding the rest of the meatloaf in his hand, looking at himself with a smile.

"It's a trick!" Gongsun Shengyan's spine was numb, and he realized that he had underestimated his little cake uncle and nephew.

"This friend, on a snowy day, has been with the two of us for almost two miles, and I feel cold if you are not cold. Second Master Chu didn't know when he arrived behind Gongsun Shengyan, and said in a joking tone.

Gongsun Shengyan turned around slowly, and at the same time took two steps back in the direction of the small cake, and in just a moment, he was pushed into a dead end by his uncle and nephew, and turned into a situation of encirclement.

Next to Gongsun Shengyan was a short and long shack, and he didn't bother to see whether it was used to lock chickens or firewood, and the shack was piled up with thick snow. Gongsun Shengyan retreated to the edge of the shack, did not answer Second Master Chu's question, pretended to grasp the snow on the shack in his hands intentionally or unintentionally, and in a while, more than ten fist-sized snowballs were rubbed.

"What about you, sneaky, are you dumb?" said the little cake in a childish voice.

"Oh...... Hehe, I'm not dumb. "Gongsun Shengyan's subordinates don't stop, picking up words that don't hurt or itch to delay time.

"I'll give you a chance to say why you're following us. Second Master Chu's face became serious.

"Don't give him a chance, second uncle, beat him first, beat him up. The little cake stood in the snow and pointed at Gongsun Shengyan with the finger of the meatloaf.

"Say it. Second Master Chu stared at Gongsun Shengyan, his eyes were like torches.

"The little cake beat me, and beat me in the White Emperor City with the big stick. Gongsun Shengyan said truthfully.

Second Master Chu's expression was stunned, as if he didn't know who the big stick was, he looked in the direction of the small cake, but the little cake didn't recognize Gongsun Shengyan at all, and replied to his inquiry with innocent eyes.

"Who is the big stick?" Second Master Chu saw that Gongsun Shengyan was not very old, he was handsome and decent, and the words he said seemed to have suffered a loss under Xiao Biscuit's hands before, so his expression relaxed, and he changed to a smiling face and asked Xiao Biscuit directly, but his figure was ready to make a move at any time, still standing in the middle of the alley, blocking Gongsun Shengyan's way.
