Chapter 12: The Restaurant Meets Again

It is obviously late autumn, and the streets are still full of people coming and going, and it is not at all like the chaotic change of dynasties written in the history books when I was in school, and there is no starvation and people are living in poverty, but everyone is busy with their own lives, and there is no shadow of family and country feelings.

In her opinion, whether ancient or modern, as an ordinary person, it is actually just a dull life of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

With a faint emotion in her mind, Wen Tiantian found that she suddenly wanted to go back to the small rental house in modern times. Holding a mobile phone and computer and staying at home as a social animal, although there are a lot of miscellaneous things every day, it is not idle to think about it.

"Do you have something on your mind?"

Wen Tiantian came back to her senses, looked at the man opposite, and suddenly gave birth to a momentary trance. Two months have passed, and she still can't adapt to her inexplicable experience of traveling through ancient times......

Picking up the teapot sent by the shopkeeper, pouring a cup of hot tea and putting it in her hand, Qiu Yan's movements were natural and smooth, and her tone seemed to be normal, as if she was simply looking for words, which made her feel relieved and come back to her senses at the same time.

"It's normal for your daughter's family to have something on your mind, and you'll understand it when you marry a wife in the future." Wen Tiantian picked up the teacup and took a sip, the warm tea was fragrant, and the sadness and sorrow that had just emerged were also dispersed a lot.

Qiu Yan smiled lightly, "I may not marry a wife in my life." If you really want to choose someone to die of old age, it is better to stay by your side, eat and drink every day, and occasionally do some chores to pass the time. Wouldn't it be easy to live like this kind of immortal life and live a long life? ”

Wen Tiantian was stunned for a moment, what did he mean by this, could it be that he really planned to stay here all the time and not leave?

"I'm living as an idler, you can't learn from me as a big man." It's enough to be lazy and have her alone, Qiu Yan can't be led astray, "Do a small business in the town, or go to the army to defend the country, and a good young man with a direction of hard work is positive!" ”

Qiu Yan was slightly stunned, what strange thing was this girl thinking about in her head, why did she suddenly start talking about the big truth?

"You know so much about a girl, and you still know how to defend your family and the country?"

Wen Tiantian raised an eyebrow and said proudly: "Of course! If I had your ability, I would have been a soldier a long time ago! Do you know who my idol is? ”

The shopkeeper brought the food and warmly added tea to them.

Qiu Yan picked up the small sugar jar in the corner of the table, scooped a spoonful and put it into her tea. has lived together for more than two months, and he silently remembers many of Wen Tiantian's little habits, and his love for sweets is one of them.

"What is an idol? Is it someone you admire? ”

Wen Tiantian took the teacup and took a sip, and continued to popularize science with a smile: "You can also say the same!" When I was a child, I read books, and my favorite character in textbooks was Mulan. She joined the army as a woman, killed the enemy on the battlefield, and made many military achievements. ”

"I still remember when the teacher said: Who said that women are inferior to men? I've always believed in this sentence, but then I realized that there are too many helpless things. ”

Qiu Yan listened to her quietly, without words, sandwiched a chicken leg to the buns lying obediently in the basket, and then ate slowly, picking a fish bone for Wen Tiantian's soup from time to time, and the movements were very natural and casual.

"So, you also want to learn from Mulan to join the army?"

"Huh?" Wen Tiantian immediately stopped her chopsticks and waved her hand again and again, "No, no, no, it's good to be an idler, there is no trouble in eating and drinking!" ”

There was a small talk without a word, and the little girl always spoke amazingly, and Qiu Yan was amused by her chuckles.

Here they were busy cooking, and the man in black who had received medicine over there also rushed back to the inn.

"Master, the medicine is here."

The man in black respectfully presented a few medicine bags in his hand, this was the last pharmacy he found in the entire town, if the medicinal materials were still not enough, he could only find a way tomorrow.

The young man sitting on the Taishi chair in the main seat closed his eyes and waved his fingers to signal him to bring the medicine in.

The man in black nodded, got up and walked into the room with the medicine. The heavy curtain was lifted, and a strong smell of medicine came to the face, and the bloody smell mixed in it made people frown.

Handing the medicine bag in, the man in black was about to turn around and leave, but when he was about to step out of the door, he was stunned at his feet, and he hesitated to turn around and speak: "Master, my subordinates just saw a person in the pharmacy, and he seems to be a little familiar. ”

The young man put down the information in his hand heavily, and his slender fingers pinched his eyebrows. He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and his eyes were bloodshot. There are too many things to worry about during this time, and the unfinished official duties and worries in his heart make him physically and mentally exhausted.

"Who?"

The man in black pondered it carefully before he said cautiously: "It's a tall man, his face is injured and wrapped in gauze, and his body is thin, but his movements and body are obviously a person with strong martial arts, and more importantly, his subordinates feel ...... He resembles the boy we're looking for. ”

The young man with a sad face raised his eyes when he heard this, and his sharp gaze stared at the man in black.

"How sure are you?"

“…… Five points. ”

He had had the privilege of meeting that boy a few times before, and he had recorded some of this person's physical characteristics and movements and postures with his professional habits, but his identity was limited, and he only glanced at it a few times, and it was really difficult to guarantee whether his judgment was accurate.

The young man knew this, of course, but he had been in town secretly for four or five days, and had been quietly searching with many of his men for a long time, but he had never heard from him. The clue was broken when he got here, and he was anxious but had no way to deal with it.

"We still don't have a clue until now, no matter how sure you are, you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, try your luck." The young man took a deep breath and stood up, "You have a reason, I will go and meet the man myself." ”

"Yes."

The man in black led the young man to the pharmacy again, and the man and woman before were gone. The shopkeeper saw that the owner with this face was not easy to mess with and found it back, and thought that there was something wrong with his medicine, this man was annoyed and angry and brought a helper to smash the store, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and hurriedly greeted him.

After careful questioning, he understood that he was looking for the two brothers and sisters, and the shopkeeper carefully picked up his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his face, pointed to the direction where the two left, and said: "Second master, those two people went to the east, probably less than an hour, the two of you can look for it, if they go slowly, maybe they can meet again." ”

The shopkeeper is also a human spirit, and the two of them walking slowly on the road is nothing more than shopping, and if there is really something to do, it will not be so leisurely, so he can guess a rough idea, and first coax these two fierce gods away.

The man in black thanked him, left a small ingot of silver on the counter, turned around and left the pharmacy with the man behind him.

Wen Tiantian drank a small bowl of beef soup after eating a bowl of rice, two chicken thighs, half a plate of pork ribs and half a fish, and finally burped comfortably, supported her face with one hand, and slowly stirred the pear water that Qiu Yan added to her with a small spoon.

sighed and muttered from the bottom of his heart: "In the future, our family will still have more stewed meat, and it is unhealthy to eat mushrooms and wild vegetables all day long." ”

Qiu Yan, who had already eaten, pinched the hand of the cup and paused, his eyes swept over a few empty plates on the table with only vegetable soup left, and nodded silently: "You're right." ”

The two didn't delay for too long, Wen Tiantian was used to resting after eating, so he only stayed for a while and got up to check out after drinking tea, ready to go home.

A big meal cost seven taels of silver, but it wasn't expensive. I checked the remaining dozen taels of silver in my hand, but I didn't feel any pain.

If she could meet such a stupid person with a lot of money every time she went out, would she still be worried that her life ideal of eating and drinking spicy food would not be realized?

However, Xu is lucky today, she just stood up with the basket, and saw the two black-clothed men at the door striding in, and the corners of her mouth froze instantly.

The unjust boss has come to the door!

Finish, run!

Qiu Yan, who had just packed up her things and carried them in her hand, was grabbed by her and walked out quickly.

Qiu Yan was confused, and when she turned her eyes, she saw the two people who had just walked into the restaurant, and suddenly understood. Wen Tiantian, this guy is a thief, thinking that he has cheated other people's money, and the one who was cheated at this time understood and found a helper to ask for money!

The two men in black obviously didn't come to eat, and as soon as they entered the door, they looked around, and the one who walked behind looked around slightly, and his eyes were directly fixed on them. The staring gaze was like a sharp arrow, trying to pierce them.

Wen Tiantian lowered her head, carried the basket in her right hand, grabbed Qiu Yan's arm with her left hand, and walked out hard......

As they passed by, they could clearly feel the gaze of the two people piercing their backs. Her scalp was numb, her short legs were fluttering rapidly, and she was running for her life. However, the threshold of the restaurant was too high, and the front foot stepped out and the back foot was mixed, and the whole person almost flew out uncontrollably when he walked too fast.

Qiu Yan behind her was quick and grabbed her arm with her backhand. And the man in black who was standing one step away subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop it, but before he could touch it, Wen Tiantian was pulled by Qiu Yan to stabilize his body.

"Girl, be careful."

"Thank you......"

Look, what a considerate man!

When he was moved, he didn't dare to raise his head to thank him, and dragged Qiu Yan away.

The two men stood at the door and looked at their hurried backs, and the cold and nervous aura around them also calmed down. The man in black noticed the restlessness of his master before, but after seeing the two of them, he calmed down a lot, and couldn't help but have a trace of speculation.

"Let's go back."

The young man wrapped his black robe, lowered his eyes, blocked the crazy surging emotions under his eyes, and turned to leave.

Wen Tiantian didn't have the heart to wander around anymore, so she led Qiu Yan home directly.

After entering the courtyard, Qiu Yan started to work without saying a word. Put the meat and vegetables they bought into the kitchen, and pour the spices into small jars and put them away. There was a lot of wood piled up in the courtyard, and he hadn't had time to clean it up yet, so if he wanted to make furniture, he had to draw drawings and then think about it carefully.

Baozi is a cute little cutie who can't be idle, as soon as he gets home, he jumps out of the basket, happily scurrying around, and after a good meal, he happily wagged his tail and followed Wen Tiantian back to the house.

Autumn afternoons are less sweltering than summer, cool and comfortable. They came back early, the sun was still hanging firmly in the sky, Wen Tiantian held the small table in the bedroom and carefully counted the silver in his purse.

Rich and free, simple and happy!

After packing up the things she bought, Qiu Yan carefully arranged the cloth and put it on the big table in the outhouse, took a pen and paper and began to draw the patterns of tables, chairs and benches.

The gentle breeze outside the house rustled the fallen leaves, and he was so engrossed in painting the furniture that he didn't think about the disturbances outside, how precious this quiet day was to him.

At sunset in the evening, Wen Tiantian rubbed her eyes and walked out of the house, stretching her waist, she ate dinner a little early, and she was a little hungry.

Wrapped in a coat and running to the kitchen with his hair scattered, two plates of fried crispy meat were placed on the stove, Wen Tiantian picked up the plate and sat at the small dining table bored.

"Dead ghost, where is Qiu Yan?"

A faint voice came from the door: "He went to the forest with a basket, and he is estimated to come back later, these two plates of fried meat are snacks left for you." ”

"Oh......"

Wen Tiantian answered, looked at the plate, and thought thoughtfully.

Grove.

In late autumn, the leaves of the forest were all over the place, and the slanting sunset was about to set. Today, he bought a lot of ingredients on the street, and he plans to set up a bonfire in the yard to make a barbecue at night.

The wind rustles the leaves, and the sound of feet stepping on the dead branches and leaves is getting closer. Qiu Yan heard it, but he didn't want to look back, after all, time was running out, and he had to go home before dark, so as not to worry Wen Tiantian.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, stopping five meters away from him.

"Childe."
