Chapter 6 Strict Road
Last night's snow melted this morning, and the snow fell to the ground along the roof tiles, and trickled into a trickle into the distance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Han Xiaoyu opened the window to greet the first rays of the morning sun on his face, and the smell of spring mud under the scorching morning sun - the fishy smell that belongs to the cold spring in the north.
I had breakfast with my grandfather in the lobby, and it stands to reason that I always have to eat lighter in the morning, but the hot noodle soup made by Longxiang Inn is really delicious, and the two of them can't help but order a bowl each.
After eating, Han Xiaoyu asked his grandfather where to go to the town today, but the old man Han shirked and said that the old bones couldn't stand the cold outside, so he wanted to rest in the room and wait for the weather to be warmer before going outside to set up a stall.
Han Xiaoyu has a habit that every time he goes to a new place, he must look at every corner of that place before he leaves. This habit is maintained for many years and will not change until forced to do so.
And Old Man Han and his granddaughter Xiao Yuer, the old man and the young man, walking the rivers and lakes, inevitably have some cliché plots. Old man Han is actually a word reader and a hexagram teller, and he knows some skills to look at faces and colors - to put it bluntly, he is cheating.
Xiao Yuer is even more so, she can guess the identity of that person or what she wants to do through a few words from others, which has traces of a Western detective's deduction. Just like yesterday, Han Xiaoyu guessed the identity of his Martial Arts League and the purpose of finding the Divine Sword through Yue Lengchan's low-key and luxurious clothes, a few simple words, and the generosity of pretending, and also calculated that he could only act in secret.
But the most ridiculous thing is that Yue Lengchan actually regarded Han Xiaoyu's grandfather as Li Xingke, although Li Xingke has been famous for thirty years, and it seems that his grandfather in his sixties is indeed very suspicious, but Han Xiaoyu himself knows the truth clearly.
Grandpa is just a failed swordsman who once fantasized about building a career in the rivers and lakes!
Let's not mention this for the time being, the problem now is that there is no one to go out with Han Xiaoyu, and most of Huangshi Town has not been seen yet, which makes her heart really itching.
Han Xiaoyu said, "Grandpa, you don't want to move if you have some silver, right?"
Old man Han said, "How can you say that about grandpa...... Grandpa is really afraid of the cold. Otherwise, you let the little shopkeeper accompany you, who happens to be a local. ”
Han Xiaoyu said, "How can you trouble people, they still have this ~ big inn to take care of." ”
Old man Han smiled, "Why are you still pretending to be confused at this time, you know, the bigger and better the inn, the more you don't need the shopkeeper to take care of it, besides...... You're also old enough to get married, and it's not a good idea to follow me all the time, and I think that little shopkeeper is a little interesting to you......"
Han Xiaoyu said ashamedly, "Grandpa, what are you talking nonsense!?"
Old man Han laughed and stopped responding to his granddaughter's words. At this time, it happened that Qian Ziming also finished washing up and came to the lobby. I also happened to meet the grandfather and grandson who had just had breakfast, so I greeted him.
Qian Ziming bowed down and asked, "What is the habit of the old gentleman and the girl who lived last night?"
Old man Han replied, "Habitual, very habitual." It's like coming to your own home!"
Han Xiaoyu said, "Grandpa, when did we have a home?"
Old man Han said, "I am homeless, but you should have a home." ”
Han Xiaoyu said angrily, "Grandpa has no home, how can I have a home?"
The two argued like this, as if they had ignored Qian Ziming, who was standing on the side, which made Qian Ziming feel a little embarrassed.
But in fact, how can a big living person standing by his side be easily ignored, and he is still a young man in his prime. Old man Han stretched out his right hand to hold Qian Ziming's arm at some point, and then said to Qian Ziming, "My little granddaughter has to pull me to play in your Yellowstone Town, but I'm afraid of the cold, why don't you accompany her for me, little shopkeeper?"
Han Xiaoyu was shocked, he didn't expect his grandfather to use this trick, he was about to lose his temper, but for the sake of face, and he didn't want to embarrass Qian Ziming, he swallowed back the words that he was about to spit out.
Qian Ziming seemed to understand what he meant, and immediately bowed down and said, "Of course you can." ”
×××
Today's cold weather in Yellowstone is indeed very heavy, even more than yesterday's snowy night. But for Qian Ziming, even if it is a cold day, it can't match the warmth of his heart at this time.
Because Han Xiaoyu walked beside him!
It stands to reason that Qian Ziming, who came from the soul crossing, should not have such an immature and ignorant feeling, but he still couldn't resist the excitement in his heart after all, he fell in love with Han Xiaoyu at first sight.
Is it because a person's mind is still related to his physical age after all?
We don't know, but we don't need to. Maybe that heart-pounding feeling has nothing to do with anything, it's just a heart-pounding feeling.
The two of them walked on the street, facing the rising sun, stepping on the trickle of snow on the ground, and a few wisps of cold wind blowing across their cheeks.
The cold spring can't stop the willows on the street from pulling out new shoots, nor can it stop the swallows returning from the south, and more and more pedestrians on the street.
Han Xiaoyu suddenly stopped in the crowd, then looked at the sky, and said softly, "Little shopkeeper, you said that those swallows went to the south, why don't you just stay in the south, but still come back?"
Qian Ziming looked at Han Xiaoyu's face shining in the sunlight and replied, "That's because they always have a home in the north." ”
Han Xiaoyu lowered his head to look at the crowd in the distance, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Home...... What?"
Then there was silence for a long time before moving on.
Qian Ziming followed closely by Han Xiaoyu's side, not wanting to leave Han Xiaoyu too far.
At this time, there were suddenly a few loud "dodges" from the crowd, and pedestrians on the back street took the initiative to get out of the way. It turned out to be a few catchers in official uniforms, riding a few fast horses towards the west of the town, and they seemed to be in a hurry.
However, Yan Lu, the head of the leading dress, took the initiative to pull the reins of the horse and stopped after seeing Qian Ziming on the side of the road, and greeted Qian Ziming, "Little money shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing lately?"
Qian Ziming smiled, "You don't have to make trouble, it's very good!"
Although Yan Lu was wearing an official uniform, several accessories on his body were luxurious enough, such as the jade inlaid on the knife, the brocade bag on his waist, the gold ring on his finger, and so on. It's not like the wealth that a small catcher can have, but he is a fair and selfless person who is well known to the public, so people don't care why he has such wealth.
Yan Lu looked at Qian Ziming, and then at Han Xiaoyu beside Qian Ziming, and had some plans in his heart, so he only smiled, "Then don't disturb you who are the shopkeeper of Xiaoqian." ”
After finishing speaking, Yan Lu took a few of his subordinates to the west.
Han Xiaoyu glanced at Qian Ziming and said, "It seems that the little shopkeeper has a very high status in Huangshi Town?"
Qian Ziming said a little embarrassed, "It's just that my family's bookkeeper once helped Yan Zhutou solve a case, so he also got acquainted with me." ”
Han Xiaoyu said, "Oh? is that the bookkeeper in your house who faces the cold?"
Qian Ziming said, "Actually, the previous bookkeeper came, and now he quit his job with me and went to Beijing to take the exam." ”
Han Xiaoyu was relieved, she didn't think that the current bookkeeper seemed to be a person who could solve the case, and said, "Then your inn is really full of talents." Anyway, I see that Yan Arrest is so anxious now, it seems that there is something going on in the west, right?"
Qian Ziming said with a smile, "Fortunately, Zhang Wenqing and Zhang Xiucai have only gone to the capital now, otherwise Yan Zhutou will come to bother us again." ”
There are so many martial arts people in Huangshi Town suddenly, and the fast arresting manpower of the Yamen in Shanggu County is not enough, and now it seems that there are still some major cases, and it seems that some of the Yan arresters are busy.
