Three Mile Lane.

In a small courtyard planted with melon vines.

Zhu Siye was holding a large bowl of stewed noodles with chili oil, and there were several plates on the small square table in front of him, which contained a few fried fish and a few side dishes.

The toppings of the stewed noodles with chili oil are stir-fried with slices of pork belly and cabbage and soybean sauce, and the color looks extraordinary**.

At this moment, Xu Sheng was sitting in front of Zhu Siye, and there was also such a big bowl of braised noodles in front of him, and the young owner of the thirteenth dock of the fish market had already changed into a clean black short hexagram, but there was still a lingering faint fishy smell on his body.

"Why should I bow my head to him?" Zhu Siye sandwiched a slice of pork belly and a few slices of cabbage, tasted it in his mouth, took another sip of spicy oil noodle soup, looked at Xu Sheng, and asked seriously.

Hearing Zhu Siye's words, Xu Sheng pushed the coarse porcelain stewed noodle bowl in front of him with some annoyance, and said: "You have to do business, we have to do business, you want to have a hard fight with him, at least don't mess with other people's business." ”

Zhu Siye glanced at Xu Sheng and said, "Lu Fengniang's matter is purely accidental, and you also know that even if I really want to assassinate, I won't send her there, and I won't be in that kind of place." ”

Xu Sheng said silently: "But the reason for this matter is Zhu Siye's fault." ”

Zhu Siye smiled, took a few mouthfuls of spicy oil noodles, and asked: "I heard that Heng Rongchang's second shopkeeper has long taken a fancy to you and wants to accept you as a student, and you are likely to become one of Heng Rongchang's shopkeepers in the future, why don't you want to?"

Xu Sheng's face became darker and darker, which made the young man smell more fierce and fierce, he looked at Zhu Siye, and said in a deep voice: "Does this have anything to do with what we talked about today?"

Actually, it's the same thing. ”

Zhu Siye nodded: "In the end, you also understand our origins, people like us are shrimp and crabs in the river, begging for a life on this river, relying on bravery, ruthlessness, and righteousness, and people also value us, but out of the water, away from our background, where can we get bravely, where can we go, where can we go, at most go ashore and break a few cages, and then break our hands and feet, people look at us, will they forget our origins? So you are not willing to go to Heng Rongchang, and would rather guard your thirteen docks." If I can't even buy his building, how many people will be laughed at? Now that he has arrested two of my people, I am like him bowing his head, and if others arrest me and I have to bow my head, then what will I do in the future? How can I gain a foothold?

After a quiet pause, Zhu Siye looked at Xu Sheng and said, "Don't forget, you and us are the same people, at this time, you should stand with me and help me." ”

Xu Sheng looked at the bowl of braised noodles full of red chili oil in front of him, was silent for a long time, and then picked up the bowl of noodles and ate it slowly.

"They are not guilty of a felony, the arrest room only has to judge the case and arrest people, and then the detention is a matter of history, and I will get them out. Zhu Siye looked at Xu Sheng with praise, this junior is indeed more sophisticated and decisive than Xu Fat, no wonder Xu Pang gave him everything at hand. "What is he looking for you to do at the fish market today?" he asked again, looking at the junior with praise.

Xu Sheng ate the noodles, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and said: "I didn't say anything, he just bought an old Jiang group and two iron-headed dogfish, and I have already asked him to send them just now." ”

Since Xu Sheng calmed down and began to eat this bowl of stewed noodles that tasted really good, the attitude of the fish market and Zhu Siye had reached a unity, and Xu Sheng's words also seemed very peaceful, Zhu Siye only frowned slightly when he heard it, and was slightly surprised, but because of this sentence, the back room of this small courtyard suddenly let out a violent coughing sound.

This coughing sound, which was as loud as a convulsion, made Xu Sheng think of someone, and he paused for a moment, and his face was full of shock.

Zhu Siye also turned around in surprise, only to see that the bamboo curtain in the back room was lifted, and a middle-aged man in a light cyan silk robe walked out of it.

The middle-aged man seemed to be very sick, his face was sallow, his body was a little rickety, and his chest and lungs had some convulsions when he walked.

Confirming that it was the person he guessed, Xu Sheng immediately put down the coarse porcelain noodle bowl in his hand, stood up as if jumping, and respectfully saluted the middle-aged man, saying, "The little nephew has seen Second Master Zhang." ”

"No need to be polite. The seriously ill middle-aged man smiled and stretched out his hand, waved at Xu Sheng, motioned for him to sit down, and as he also sat down beside Zhu Siye, he praised: "Xu Fat taught him well." ”

Xu Sheng sat down, looking at the middle-aged man's sallow and thin hands, and there was some indescribable feeling in his heart, the dragon king in the Xijiang River did not expect to be sick like this.

"Virtuous nephew, how can there be iron-headed pike in your fish market?" This person didn't seem to be much older than Zhu Siye, but it was Zhang Erye, who was very sick, quietly panting, looked at Xu Sheng, and asked seriously.

Xu Sheng carefully commented: "There was a fishing boat in Wuliutan where it was scraped and sunk by a half-sunken old tree root floating in the water, and later when it was salvaged, it was found that there were two iron-headed pike in the cabin, probably when it sank, there were a lot of fish and shrimp in the cabin, and these two iron-headed pike got into it and were fished up with the boat." Originally, these two iron-headed pikes had been given by Haiwanju, but if something happened today, he bought them for two dollars, so I gave them to him. ”

Second Master Zhang nodded, hung his head slightly, and asked, "How big are those two ironhead pikes? How big is that old Jiang group? How many years have they been?"

Xu Sheng said: "The two iron-headed pike are in their thirties, and as for the old Jiang group, it is at least one hundred and fifty years old, and it has just happened to be caught not long ago, and there are at least seventy or eighty catties of weight, and there is a thick layer of stone clothing on the skirt. ”

"Such an old Jiang group, you can't eat it, what are you buying it for?" Zhu Siye turned his head to look at Zhang Erye, and couldn't help but say loudly. He didn't know why Second Master Zhang was so interested in these things that Lin Xi bought.

Zhang Erye shook his head: "Ordinary people don't digest it after eating, but there is a kind of person, if there is a suitable recipe, eating this Lao Jiang group is a great supplement." ”

Zhu Siye and Xu Sheng heard the meaning of Zhang Erye's words at the same time, their bodies were shocked, and they exclaimed in disbelief: "Could it be that what you mean, he may be a cultivator?!"

Second Master Zhang glanced at Fourth Master Zhu, knocked on the noodle bowl in his hand, nodded and said: "Even if ordinary people eat a lot, it is terrible to eat a pound of fish at a meal, this fish has to eat twenty or thirty meals to eat, even after eating so many meals, what is the special taste of delicious fish? So even if ordinary people want to try it, it is enough to buy one, why should he buy two? A cultivator can eat it in two or three meals... Therefore, if nothing else, he should be a cultivator. ”

After saying this, the middle-aged sick man with a sallow face sighed, looked at Zhu Siye and shook his head, and said, "So in this matter, I'm afraid you still have to go to see him." ”

With a click, a dead branch of an old pomegranate tree by the wall of the courtyard fell down at this moment, falling into the dirt under the tree.

"I see. Zhu Siye's face turned a little pale and nodded.

Qingluan Academy, Lin Xi was surrounded by cultivators, and people like Qiu Lu and others were even much younger than him.

But that was in Qingluan Academy, in the holy land of the vast Yunqin Empire.

Every student of Qingluan Academy was already an elite among the elites selected by the entire empire.

In the night, Lin Xi carefully scraped off the algae and the stone shell formed by the accumulation of sediment on the riverside platform of the small building with a knife, and then put the old river group into a large stone jar filled with clean water, and poured in the black liquid that had been boiled.

Then he took out a bundled iron-headed pike from another large stone tank, scraped off the fine scales of the fish, removed the internal organs, rinsed it, and then indirectly put it in a bamboo basket and carried it up to the Pine and Bamboo Pavilion.

No one bothered him during this time.

The old man Mo and the grandmother who bought tofu here had also heard about him a long time ago.

They didn't know that it was precisely because of Lin Xi's identity as a student of Qingluan Academy's "General God" and his unique ability that he dared to offend both Dong Zhendu and Heng Rongchang. They only heard that Lin Xi was only given a seven-day deadline.

So when Lin Xi returned in the night, Old Man Mo and this grandmother had already gone out to walk the streets and alleys to help Lin Xi inquire about the news.

Only Wang Buping was concentrating on making the umbrella made for Lin Xi in the Langfang outside the building.

At this moment, Wang Buping has covered the umbrella surface, and he is applying the last oil on the umbrella surface. The umbrella is unprecedentedly fine, but it will be completed in a matter of days.

It's just that Wang Buping's heart and hands are a little cold, because he doesn't know if Lin Xi can survive these few days.

He knew that the wind and rain in the court were much greater than the wind and rain on the river.

But Lin Xi was very calm, because he knew that it was useless to be anxious now, so he could only wait.

The water in the large clay pot on the stove near the window of the Songzhu Pavilion near the river has been boiled.

Lin Xi began to cut the fish fillet.

The head and skin of the pike are jet black, but the meat inside is really as white as mutton fat and white jade.

Pieces of white and delicate fish fillets with a unique aroma sprinkled like magnolia petals in the basin in front of Lin Xi.

At this moment, it began to drizzle quietly outside, and there was some wind and rain on the river.

"Dang", at this moment, on the side of the platform where the small building stretched into the river, a loud metal sound suddenly sounded.

Lin Xi stopped.

His man, as agile as a tanuki, swept into the attic above with great speed and silence, and opened the large wooden box that was placed like a table.

There were three wooden boxes inside, and he carried the two largest and smallest wooden boxes on his back. He lifted another wooden box in his hand, and pushed open the two windows of the attic.

.......

There were black shadows, emerging from the river, climbing up to the platform of this small building, agile and silent, with a cold light.

"When"....I don't know what I touched again, and there was a loud metallic sound in the wind and rain.

In fact, the second update has been bursting out recently, because many times although it is two chapters, the number of words in each chapter is a lot, which is equivalent to the usual amount of three chapters. Because from the small family to everyone, from the traveler to the integration into the world, and then step by step to establish their own partners and future help, plus a number of lines go hand in hand, with some small things to slowly and some big things in the future together, maybe later, everyone will see that the butterfly flapped its wings, but it caused such a storm. How can this article be written like this, how can it be popular if it is not popular or hit people. But I have always been convinced that the real strong man is to lead people how to go, not to be led by others and say that they want to go that way. I have always believed that as long as you are serious and use your best efforts, there will always be a part of the audience that you like. From the very beginning of this book, I didn't think about how to pursue how to achieve results, I only thought that I should take this path, and I should tell some authors that it is not only the treasure hunting and murder shooters who have a way to live. Tastes will change, and readers will get used to those routines, and they will get tired of it. So I have to be patient, you have to be patient, you really can't appreciate the work calmly and patiently, if you can't even see some obvious foreshadowing, some of the two chapters can't be understood, in addition to making three chapters can make me more money, in fact, there is really no point. The world is already so impetuous, and the peace of mind can really make me comfortable, and I know that some of my thoughts and some of my own attachments will definitely not be exchanged for everyone's approval and understanding. But I naturally hope that more people can understand, otherwise I wouldn't have said so much, yes, no, harmless to humans and animals, a smile, hehehe
