Chapter 168: Is It Still That Smell?
After the guy left, the three of them also thanked the shopkeeper and left.
Walking outside, seeing Nan Shu's contemplative appearance, Ye Ziqing said on the side: "After all, it is not surprising that people who live on the sea surface want to continue to make a living on the sea." ”
"You don't have to worry too much, at least now we have a new direction to find someone." Ye Ziqing comforted.
"It's rare for a woman to appear at the dock, and it just so happens that I have a batch of goods to leave the dock tomorrow, and then I will ask someone on the dock to help you inquire about the whereabouts of this person."
"Okay."
Ye Ziqing is more familiar with the situation at the dock than her, and it is much easier to do things with her help.
Nan Shu looked at her and said gratefully, "Fortunately, you have help in this matter." ”
Ye Ziqing smiled and shook the blue sachet hanging on her waist, "It's just a gift for this, I have to help well, don't I?" ”
Nan Shu raised her lips and smiled, "Then I'll look for you on the dock tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Ye Ziqing nodded in response.
After tossing for a day, it was not early, so Ye Ziqing asked people to send Nanshu back.
The next day.
Because of Ye Ziqing's help, when she went to the dock this time, Nan Shu didn't call Xiaoliu again.
On the dock, Ye Ziqing took Nan Shu to a boat docked on the shore.
As she led the people into the cabin, she said, "I asked the people below to investigate, and you sit here and wait, if there is news, they will come and report it." ”
"Okay."
Nanshu looked around in the cabin, although it was not luxurious, it was simple and clean.
This ship is not a cargo ship, it should be the venue where Ye Ziqing usually meets and talks with businessmen on the dock.
Ye Ziqing asked Nan Shu to sit down on the small table near the window.
Nan Shu looked down and found that there were several exquisite pastries and snacks on the small table.
She couldn't help but be stunned, "This is ......"
"This is what I specially asked the Western Kitchen in Fuzhong to cook for you this morning."
"Do it to me?"
"Hmm." Ye Ziqing nodded, with a hint of doting on her sister in her tone:
"There's nothing fun on the docks, you can kill the time with a snack while you're bored waiting for news."
I didn't expect her to think so thoughtfully, Nan Shu suddenly smiled happily, she raised her hand and picked up a small pastry in the shape of a flower and took a bite.
"Otherwise, the girl's family knows the girl's mind best."
Saying that, she rolled her eyes, leaned into Ye Ziqing's ear with a smile, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister treats Shu'er so well." ”
Ye Ziqing's face was shocked when she heard this, but the eyebrows in her eyes were inadvertently smiling, and she seemed to like the title "sister" very much.
"Naughty." She glanced at Nanshu with disgust, but her tone was smiling.
Nan Shu looked at her in her eyes, smiling on her face, but she couldn't help but feel emotion and pity in her heart: in fact, she also hoped that she could be a woman herself.
Although Ye Ziqing repeatedly persuaded Nan Shu to wait for news on the boat, Nan Shu still couldn't sit still and insisted on getting off the boat.
"Don't worry, I'm just walking around, what if I'm lucky, and I bump into the person I'm looking for?"
"But ......"
"It's okay, I'm wearing men's clothes, so there's nothing going to be done." Nanshu said again.
Ye Ziqing knew that she was in a hurry to find people, and when she couldn't persuade her, she could only sigh and say:
"Okay, I still have something to do to stay with you, I'll find a guy to follow you."
Nan Shu knew that she was worried about her safety, so she smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”
After that, she took the guy on the docks.
She expected that Xiaosi was a woman, just to make a living, and probably didn't come to do short-term work. Maybe you can open a small stall nearby to sell some food or something.
With that in mind, she searched all the way down the avenue of the docks......
And so the morning passed.
In the afternoon, there was still nothing, and there was no good news from Ye Ziqing's side.
Nan Shu's mood couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
If there is no trace of Xiao Si here, then her clues are really going to be broken.
She returned to her cabin and sat by the window looking out at the sun-lit river, lost in thought.
Just as he could see it, a green glass bowl suddenly appeared in front of him, Nan Shu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were withdrawn to the bowl.
"Tofu brain?"
She turned her head to look at Ye Ziqing beside her.
"Hmm." Ye Ziqing curled her lips and smiled: "The old master at the back door of my house made it, when you were a child, it was best to take this mouthful, taste it or is it not the taste?" ”
Ye Ziqing said and handed the bowl to her.
Nan Shu couldn't help but be surprised, "Didn't Mama Su say that the old master is no longer doing this at the back door of your house?" ”
"I specially asked him to come out again."
Nan Shu returned to the side of the small table with the bowl in her hand and asked casually, "Why?" ”
"Because you like to eat." Ye Ziqing leaned over to the window to make room for Nan Shu.
"For the sake of ...... I? ”
Nan Shu was a little surprised, she knew that the original owner liked to eat this, so she went to find the master?
Ye Ziqing nodded.
“…… When did you find him? ”
"It was the last time you came to visit my mother in the house." Ye Ziqing said with a smile, "If you leave later that day, you will probably be able to eat this bite." ”
At that time, she thought that Nan Shu kept her secret, and she was grateful, so she wanted to do something for her as a reward.
But after all, the impression between the two only stayed when she was a child, Ye Ziqing didn't know what Nan Shu liked now, and remembered that she used to love to eat this tofu brain, so she went to find the master.
Nanshu couldn't help but be stunned, so she was busy outside that day and didn't go to the house...... In fact, he is running for her?
"What are you doing stupidly? Hurry up and try it. Ye Ziqing urged with a smile.
"Okay."
Nan Shu lowered her head and scooped it up with a silver spoon and took a bite, the tofu brain was silky and fragrant, with a hint of sweetness but not greasy.
It tastes really good.
Ye Ziqing looked at her, "How, is it still that taste?" ”
Nan Shu didn't know what it tasted like before, and after glancing at Ye Ziqing, who was full of anticipation, she smiled and nodded,
"yes, it still tastes great."
Hearing her say this, the smile on Ye Ziqing's face deepened.
In fact, Ye Ziqing looks good when she smiles, a little more bright and bright that this girl should have, more real and dazzling than the deep and steady she usually presents in front of people.
"I remember when I was a child, once the two of us went to the back door to eat tofu brain, yours was quickly finished, you had to rob me of food, I didn't give it, you just cried, and my mother directly brought my bowl to you."
Nan Shu couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that 'I' used to be so overlord?" ”
"Relying on everyone to spoil you, aren't you a little bully at that time?"
Speaking of things when he was a child, Ye Ziqing was also a little more cautious than usual.
The sea breeze blows in through the spacious windows, making the atmosphere more warm and harmonious, and she is smiling brightly as she stands in front of the window, which seems to be full of brilliance in the sun.
Right next to their ship was an even more ornate ship.
At this moment, there was also a long figure standing by the window on the boat, and his eyes were right on the spot where Ye Ziqing was standing.
"The ...... It seems to be the son of Ye Yuanwai, the young master of Ye's cloth village. ”
