Chapter 55: Almost on Fire
The young man Wenjiu and Jiang Ning haven't seen each other for many years, so the conversation between the two has never stopped from Fang Cai to now. On the other hand, Wen Hua and Shen Jing sat on the side and did not speak. The two would occasionally look up at each other, but they both glanced at each other and smiled.
Wen Hua would raise his eyes and look at Shen Jing a few times from time to time, he didn't know if Shen Jing felt it, but he had already looked at it like this several times.
It's also strange to say, obviously he looks like a young man of about twenty, but Wen Hua feels that the other party has a strong sense of oldness. Because of this, Wen Hua felt that Shen Guo had an appetite for him, especially after watching the sword moves that Shen Guo had just danced, he was not interested in the difficulties he had thought of before.
The wine and food have been served in the same way, and the four of them chatted while eating. However, Jiang Ning and Wen Jiu talked a lot, Wen Hua and Shen Jing almost didn't interject, and only ate their own food.
Shen Jing never drank alcohol, and Wen Hua didn't embarrass him after he knew, Shen Jing accompanied Shen Wenhua with tea and wine for a few drinks. After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Shen Jing found that the old man in front of him was not as rigid and strict as he had imagined, but on the way he smiled from time to time, Shen Jing felt a trace of kindness.
By now, Shen was already very sure that the cultivation of the old man in front of him must be in the realm of the grandmaster, because he was too familiar with that invisible energy.
Shen Guo was just puzzled, Jiang Ning said, these predecessors of the Grandmaster Realm have all gone to pursue the thing that was born, but this old man appeared in Meiwu City at such a sensitive time, so the deep meaning can be seen.
"What's the young man's name?" Wen Hua looked at Shen Guan with a smile after drinking a glass of wine and asked.
When Shen Guo heard this, he responded, "Back to my predecessors, my name is Shen Jing. ”
After hearing this, Wen Hua muttered: "Shen Qian, surnamed Shen!" ”
After Shen Guo saw Wen Hua's reaction, he frowned and asked with some puzzlement: "Senior, is there anything wrong with my surname?" ”
The last time Shen Kuang saw such hesitation was when he was in Yunmeng Mountain, and that Senior Yun also hesitated briefly after hearing his name, and then she said something about Shen Kuang's life experience. At that time, he didn't have a complete concept of these things, but at this time, he knew that things were powerful, and when he asked back, he was actually a little worried in his heart.
Wen Hua laughed, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't heard anyone surnamed Shen for many years." I used to have an old friend whose surname was Shen, but that old bastard had been driving west for years. So when I heard it this time, I inevitably missed it. Don't talk about that, drink and drink! ”
In the end, Wen Hua even had a shallow sadness on his face, but the sadness was fleeting. Wen Hua picked up the wine glass again and drank a glass, Shen Jing didn't say anything, and drank a cup of tea with him.
It's just a simple dinner, everything is very ordinary, but there are many things that should be done and said, and people with or without intentions neither do nor say.

When Han Zhongjing finished drinking the last sip of wine in the wine jug, the carriage stopped steadily at the mouth of Hongni Alley. Shi Yu saw the big peach tree in the depths of the alley from a distance, so she was very sure that this was the red mud alley.
In the evening, Uncle Zhu had already closed the stall, and only the flag hanging in front of the door was still rustling in the wind. Uncle Zhu, who had nothing to do, was leaning against the edge of the door at this time, napping in a cool breeze, and his posture was quite comfortable.
A few neighing sounds of horses suddenly came from the mouth of the alley, waking up the sleeping Uncle Zhu. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, with an old man sitting quietly and a smiling and happy girl on board.
Uncle Zhu has long been surprised by this, this time there are waves of people who come to the alley to find a small situation, but the two people who came this time do not look like some rich and noble people at a glance, and there is a world of difference from the previous waves.
Uncle Zhu, who was completely sober, looked at the two people at the entrance of the alley again at this moment. When he looked at the old man who was not good-looking again, Uncle Zhu suddenly felt a little shocked in his heart, this was not fear, but strange.
The road in the alley is not very spacious, so driving the carriage straight in will cause inconvenience to the people on both sides of the road, so Shi Yu and Han Zhongjing both chose to get out of the car and walk. Not far from the entrance of the alley, the windward hunting banner immediately attracted the attention of the two.
It was a small meat stall, and it was already evening, so there was no meat on the board, only five big and three thick meat sellers sitting in front of the door. Han Zhongjing remembered that the man was still dozing off, but he had fully woken up this time. Unsurprised, he chuckled a few times.
Han Zhongjing and Uncle Zhu's eyes met, and the two bowed their heads slightly, tacitly not saying anything.
After getting out of the carriage, before Han Zhongjing could speak, Shi Yu had already excitedly run to Uncle Zhu's meat stall. When he arrived in front of the meat stall, Uncle Zhu had also gotten up. Shi Yu looked at Uncle Zhu, with a sweet smile on his face, and asked softly, "Uncle, can I ask you for directions?" ”
Uncle Zhu looked at such a cute and polite little girl and responded with a smile: "Little girl, you can ask, if I know, I will point you out!" ”
When Shi Yu heard this, he smiled sweetly again: "Thank you, uncle!" ”
Then she asked, "Uncle, is this alley called Red Clay Alley?" ”
Uncle Zhu nodded when he heard this: "Hmm! This is Red Mud Lane. ”
Shi Yu became even more excited when he heard that this was Hongni Alley, so he asked nervously: "Uncle, do you know that there is a person named Shen Kuang in the alley?" ”
did not expect Uncle Zhu, the little girl really asked Xiao Qian'er's address, so Uncle Zhu smiled: "Of course I know, Xiao Qian'er grew up with uncle." You and the elders of the family walked along this alley all the way in, and on the right hand side, you saw a willow tree in the small courtyard, which was Xiao Guo'er's house. He went out in the afternoon, and he probably hasn't come back yet. But there are also people who go to his house now, and Su Yatou should be at home. ”
Uncle Zhu said a lot, until he finally said the words 'Su girl', Shi Yu was sure that it must be Su Yao, Sister Su.
Shi Yu was very happy in his heart, and respectfully compared Uncle Zhu with a gesture of a Jianghu person, and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle." ”
Uncle Zhu looked at the little girl's movements a little cute, so he also learned to return a posture: "You're welcome, little girl." ”
After thanking him, Shi Yu quickly ran back to the master and told the master everything. Then, the two didn't stop long, and led the carriage into the alley. The horse was very obedient, and Shi Yu only gently held the reins, and it knew to keep up slowly.
At this time in the evening, the neighbors in the alley are sitting in front of the door, blowing the cool breeze, and you and I are talking about the anecdotes in the alleys of the city. At this moment, I saw a carriage coming into the alley, and everyone didn't say anything, and they all leaned back to make way for the carriage. After the women saw Shi Yu, some of them smiled and praised a few words, and those words naturally fell into Shi Yu's ears one by one. Although he was a little shy in the eyes of everyone, he was still happy in Shi Yu's heart.
When Shi Yu and the master passed by Uncle Zhu's meat stall again, she smiled and said thank you to Uncle Zhu again. Han Zhongjing and Uncle Zhu also exchanged glances, Han Zhongjing smiled lightly, and then turned around and walked away.
Although Shi Yu knew that Shen was not at home at this time, she still couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and all kinds of inexplicable thoughts were even more difficult to explain.
In fact, until now, Shi Yu has not asked the master about the purpose of coming to Meiwu City, to Hongni Lane, and to find Brother Shen. She was excited and excited all the way, and she only remembered these things when she was close to Shen Kuang's house at this time. Thinking that if Brother Shen asked later, she didn't know how to answer.
Shi Yu turned his head to look at the master and asked softly, "Master, why did we come to Meiwu City to find Brother Shen?" ”
Hearing that Shi Yu finally asked this question, Han Zhongjing smiled and still walked straight forward. After a while, he replied softly, "Master still thinks that you have forgotten about me just thinking about that stinky boy?" ”
Shi Yu was a little shy when she heard this, pursed her lips and whispered, "How can there be?" How could Shi Yu forget his master. ”
"Then you're admitting you're thinking about that stinky boy!" Han Zhongjing seized the loophole in Shi Yu's words and asked with a smile.
The master's words hit Shi Yu's weakness, so her face was already red at this moment, and the shyness in her heart increased a little when she thought of getting closer and closer to Brother Shen's house.
Shi Yu bowed his head and was silent.
Han Zhongjing strode forward and laughed!
The two soon saw the house with a willow tree in the courtyard, but the fence door was closed, and no one was seen, but there was a thick smoke coming from behind the house.
Shi Yu pointed to the smoke in surprise and said, "Master, is Brother Shen's house on fire?" ”
Han Zhongjing looked at the smoke that was obviously not cooking smoke. He frowned and felt that it was very likely. "Possibly, let's go, go in and have a look."
The fence gate was unlocked, and the inner room was unlocked. After Shi Yu and the master pushed the door straight in, they could smell the smoke coming from behind the house in the hall, and the two walked back quickly.
Smoke was everywhere in the stove room, and from time to time a woman's cough could be heard, obviously choking on the smoke.
Shi Yu and Han Zhongjing were about to go in to have a look, when they saw a woman with messy green silk running out of the stove room, it was none other than Su Yao.
Su Yao was also surprised when she ran out and saw Shi Yu and Han Zhongjing, Su Yao looked at the two of them and said in a daze: "Miss Shi Yu, Senior Han!" How did you guys get here? ”
The three of them stared at each other and hesitated for a moment.
And Su Yao even forgot that the firewood in the stove room was still burning, yes, forgot!

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Jiang Ning's conversation with Wenjiu had gradually decreased, and after a while, after a few people had finished eating, Jiang Ning instructed Chen'er to take his subordinates to clean up the messy table.
After chatting happily with Jiang Ning, Wen Jiu remembered Shen again.
Several people went to the main hall to sit down, Shen Jing and Jiang Ning sat in a row, and Wen Hua and Wen Jiu sat opposite them. After a lot of wind and dust, it's time to get down to business!
