Chapter 20: Bonds

Not far away, Old Man Han, the cook, and Mr. Li, the bookkeeper, stood together, looking at Yiyi saying goodbye to Qian Ziming and Han Xiaoyu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The cook was the first to speak and said, "Senior, do you still want to leave?"

Old man Han shook his head to express helplessness, and said, "I'...... I am a person without a home, and if I stay in one place for a long time, that place will definitely suffer unnecessary trouble. It's just that...... It's a pity for Xiao Yu'er, she should have a complete home, but because of me, her parents left her one after another. ”

The cook also sighed and said, "People like me are fine, but after leaving the rivers and lakes, they will gradually be forgotten by the rivers and lakes." But you ...... I'm afraid those guys will never forget you, right?"

Old man Han said, "But I can be happy that I am not long dead, and Xiao Yu'er can also be freed from her own shackles at that time." When the time comes, please accept her!"

Old Man Han's real age is much older than he seems, and with his physical reasons, he will really die soon.

Han Xiaoyu also understands this, so he is even more reluctant to leave his grandfather, and just wants to accompany him through the last days of his life.

The cook smiled, "Haha, even if you don't say it, my young master will do it." ”

Old man Han looked at Qian Ziming and Han Xiaoyu in the distance, and laughed with the cook.

At this time, Xiaobei, who came to take a peek, also looked at Qian Ziming and Han Xiaoyu who were bathed in the spring breeze, and also laughed, and the young master of Xindao finally grew up. But in a blink of an eye, when he thought that the young master had looked like a little adult since he was a child, he smiled even more happily.

When everyone smiled kindly at Qian Ziming and Han Xiaoyu, only one person did not have a smile on his face.

Instead of smiling, there was a little disdain on his face.

This person is Mr. Li, the new bookkeeper of Longxiang Inn.

Mr. Li's performance was seen by Xiaobei, who has always been keenly observant. Since Qian Ziming himself has always had no quarrel with the guys in the store, the guys don't talk much in the store. Not to mention that he is only a few years older than Qian Ziming, Xiaobei, who was a running hall in Longxiang Inn a long time ago.

Xiaobei asked Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, why don't you laugh?"

Xiaobei thinks that this is a thing worth laughing at.

Mr. Li said coldly, "[Love] is something that is not needed, it will become a fetter for people, what is there to be happy about?"

This is one of the few times Xiaobei took the initiative to speak to Mr. Li, but when he got such a strange answer from Mr. Li, he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he said again, "But if there is no emotion, is it still a human being?

Xiaobei's words were very wonderful, but he didn't know that Mr. Li in front of him was one of the three people who were named "gods" by the world, the divine sword Li Xingke himself!

Mr. Li also ignored Xiaobei anymore, and returned to a cold face and prepared to return to the counter to settle accounts.

But as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by the old man Han on the side, and said, "Young man, although love is a bond, that bond may make you stronger." ”

Mr. Li looked at Old Man Han with a very surprised expression on his face, which is an expression that Mr. Li rarely shows.

As a divine sword, he was actually stopped by Old Man Han, and he felt that he couldn't get over it no matter what-

Old man Han's simple flick of his sleeves!

However, in the blink of an eye, Old Man Han moved out of the way again and asked Mr. Li to leave.

Mr. Li respectfully saluted Old Man Han and left.

At this time, Han Xiaoyu in the distance beckoned to his grandfather and signaled that it was time for him to go on the road. Old man Han said goodbye to the cook and his partner Xiaobei, and then walked towards Han Xiaoyu, and under the gaze of Qian Ziming and his party, the figure gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

In March, the plum blossoms fall and the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

It's evening.

In the Longxiang Inn, there are basically no guests, and it looks exceptionally clean.

Qian Ziming lay leisurely on the Taishi chair next to the counter, his eyes closed, a folding fan in his hand gently rocked, and next to him was Mr. Li constantly tapping on the abacus.

A young man dressed in a running hall came to Qian Ziming with tea, looked at the smile on the corner of Qian Ziming's mouth, and shouted loudly, "Shopkeeper, tea is here." ”

Qian Ziming was startled by the young man's loud voice, and a spirit stood up from the Taishi's chair and said sharply, "Xiaoying, can you be quieter next time!"

That young man was Li Shaoying, an Emei boy who almost injured Qian Ziming a few days ago, but at this time he became a young man at Longxiang Inn.

Because although Li Shaoying didn't really hurt Qian Ziming, he destroyed many tables and chairs in Longxiang Inn, and Qian Ziming also said that these things have gone through hundreds of years, and all of them are antiques, so Li Shaoying will compensate in full.

That's an amount that Li Shaoying's whole body of money combined is unattainable!

So Qian Ziming imitated the female shopkeeper of a certain time and space, and asked Li Shaoying to work as a coolie to accompany him. According to the time, Li Shaoying will compensate Qian Ziming for working for ten years.

However, he still asked Li Shaoying to bring a letter to Shimen, when Emei came with the compensation money, and when Li Shaoying could leave.

However, a full month has passed, and there is no news from Emei.

Li Shaoying didn't pay attention to Qian Ziming's reprimand at all, and mocked, "If you fanned a fan before the summer, did you really think of yourself as a coquettish literati?"

Qian Ziming saw that Li Shaoying not only kept talking, but also dared to talk back, so he reprimanded again, "If you dare to say that again, I will tell the cook not to cook your meal!"

Li Shaoying finally shut up at this time, put down the tea and left angrily.

Before leaving, he muttered to himself.

Qian Ziming put down the folding fan in his hand, took the tea and drank it, and said, "I can't cure you kid?"

Mr. Li on the side was still crackling and tapping on the abacus, ignoring everything that had just happened.

Qian Ziming turned his head to look at Mr. Li and took the initiative to say, "Hey, why are you saying it's getting hotter and hotter recently?"

As he spoke, he picked up the fan and fanned it a few more times.

Mr. Li stopped the abacus in his hand and was silent for a long time before saying, "You look like a spring cat now!"

Qian Ziming didn't expect the dignified divine sword Li Xingke to say such a thing, so he fanned the fan even harder, as if he hadn't heard Mr. Li's words.

The reason why Mr. Li said this is because since that day, Qian Ziming has been holding a fan and fan, and never forget to show the jade fan pendant on the fan.

It was given to Qian Ziming by Han Xiaoyu.

......

The sun is setting and the breeze is blowing.

Peach blossom petals flutter between the catkins and the catkins.
