Chapter 52: Wenliang City

Da Yu took Qin Shumei into the city, and Lai Ge and the others found a place to camp outside the city.

Lai Ge looked at Xuan Wei after Qin Shumei left, as if he had lost some love object, and simply put down the work in his hand and took the young man aside.

He hugged the young man's increasingly thick shoulders, and although his expression was cold and hard, his gaze was infinitely gentle.

Xuanyi's mother died early, and his father, as the patriarch, was so busy with daily affairs that his feet did not touch the ground. For the clansmen, the patriarch is the sky, the sun, and an omnipotent being. But for Xuan Xuan, the impression left on him by his father was only the back of the tent when he woke up hazy in the morning, and the big hand that caressed the top of his head in the middle of the night.

The task of teaching Xuan Xuan to shoot and learn characters was undertaken by Lai Ge, the patriarch's henchman, and his daily life was handled by his sister Qianxi.

There are two important points in the growth of the Evente boy, namely the scimitar ceremony at the age of thirteen and the hair cutting ceremony at the age of sixteen.

Xuan Wei had just turned thirteen years old in the first half of the year, and in Evente, all men who had reached the age of thirteen were given scimitars by their fathers, indicating that they could fight on horses and kill the enemy. After the scimitar salute, he will go out for a month under the leadership of his father to learn the survival skills of his father.

The scimitar rites of the other teenagers in the clan all went smoothly, but when things got to Xuan Xuan, it became difficult. Although he had already been given a scimitar by the patriarch, he was stumped by the affairs of the clan and did not travel with Xuan Yi for a long time.

On this mission, the patriarch simply ordered Lai Ge to bring Xuan Wei with him, and the right to fulfill his travels after the scimitar salute.

"Xuanyi, in the future, you will take over as the patriarch and bear the honor and disgrace of life and death in Event, and you must not act with emotion in everything."

Lai Ge wanted to speak as warmly as possible, but his habits for many years were difficult to change, and his exit was like a lesson, but fortunately, Xuan Yan had long been accustomed to his tone and didn't care.

The boy's pale brown eyes were as clear as a newborn fawn, and his beautiful iris was shining brighter and brighter because of a thin layer of tears.

"Sister, won't she come back?"

Lai Ge put his hand on Xuan Yan's head, rubbed him twice as hard as he did when he was a child, and rubbed him unsteadily, staggered two steps, and stood crookedly.

"She is not an ordinary woman, her life experience is not simple, this time I sent someone to follow secretly, and I will definitely find out her identity. Wait until we find out where she came from..."

The corners of Lai Ge's mouth bent, and the scar on his face moved with his muscles, more terrifying than kind.

"It's up to her to decide where she comes and goes."

……………………………………………………

Although Lai Ge pointed out that the person she was looking for was in the city, he didn't tell her where she was in the city, so she could only inquire a little bit by herself.

Although Da Yu neither helped her ask for directions nor people, he only pulled the cart in front of her and became a mascot who would move, but his figure of not being allowed to enter still helped her block a lot of ruffians and hooligans.

Although Wenliang City does not have Ning Normal University, it is still unrealistic to ask the whole city in half a day. Qin Shumei met Yang Zhaoquan knowing that it was impossible to enter the city, and after asking more than ten roadside vendors to no avail, she simply told Da Yu to find an inn to stay.

After paying for the two rooms with the scattered silver left on his body, Qin Shumei did not give up, and hesitated to speak to the guy behind the counter.

"Do you see a handsome man who is eight feet tall? He had slightly deep eye sockets, an oval face, a slightly angular jaw, and three guards around him. ”

She asked these two sentences more than a dozen times, and at first she would recall Yang Zhaoquan's appearance and add some details, but now she is tired, and her lips are moving mechanically with muscle memory.

"I haven't seen it."

The man pushed the recovered copper plate in her direction, without even lifting his head.

"Can you help keep an eye on that? I was anxious for the man. ”

Qin Shumei divided the copper plate into two parts, one pushed back, and the other was put back in his arms.

The sound of the copper plates colliding called the man to look up, and saw that there was still a small pile on the cabinet, and the man stretched out his sleeve, and the pile of copper coins disappeared immediately.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

The guy smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"We are the only inn in the city, and we have seen a lot of people coming and going from the south to the north, but we really haven't seen the handsome Langjun you said. However, if you bring an attendant... If the lady goes to Renzheng Street for a walk, there are all high-ranking families, and the gentlemen come in and out of the front and back, the one you are looking for is a decent person when you hear it, maybe you have defected to an acquaintance. ”

As he spoke, his eyes were not idle, and he kept looking at Qin Shumei and Da Yu.

The woman's expression was a little anxious, her face was painful when she spoke, and her movement was impaired, as if she was wounded, but the man who was walking with her had no pity for the jade, and there was a hint of anger on her face, and even a little disgust.

"When do you have to inquire with the two of you? How many do you know the little ones, why don't you let them help you find them? ”

The guy came out from behind the counter and led them into the backyard room.

"Not necessarily."

Da Yu refused before Qin Shumei, and swept an eye knife at him from under the thick eyebrows. The man immediately shut up, not daring to say more in front of him.

Taking advantage of the gap when Da Yu entered the house to check, the guy hurriedly turned sideways and quickly nodded to Qin Shumei.

"If the lady is in trouble, the small one can help report to the official."

This is a tip, the attitude is different, and it can still provide alarm services.

Although the guy's conjecture was not all a misunderstanding, Qin Shumei still didn't want to make a big deal about it. After all, this not only involves diplomatic issues, but also involves Yang Zhaoquan's troubles.

"No need."

As soon as she had time to say three words, the broad shadow of Da Yu shrouded the heads of the two, and a strong sense of oppression came from behind, which frightened the guy and immediately buried his head and trotted away.

"Qin Niangzi doesn't have to think about running away, I have an order from Laige, and I will never hurt you."

"Da Yu, you don't have to worry about me running away, I can't outrun you, I can't beat you, and I have to rely on you to help me find someone."

The two looked at each other, and both showed a smirk full of distrust.

"Da Yu, since you hate Yin Guo so much, why did you come out to take on this mission." The eyes of this iron tower were too sharp, and Qin Shumei couldn't resist defeat in the end.

"The patriarch has an order, how can he not obey. Besides, this mission is about the safety of the Event people..."Da Yu choked for a moment, "Why should I tell you!" Tomorrow I will go to Narauszi Renzheng Street, you can find your unlucky husband quickly, and I can go back soon. ”

Realizing that he had slipped his mouth, he angrily left Qin Shumei with a back, strode away behind the door, and slammed the door with a "bang".

Qin Shumei touched his nose, and the conversation he just wanted to start was ruthlessly killed in the cradle by the other party, which was really boring.

She touched her nose and limped into the house.

Outside the window, the dark clouds were rolling, the sky was unusually dark, the candles in the house were not lit, and the slightly old furniture was shrouded in shadow.

Qin Shumei's feet are the carpet laid by the store, as if it has not been taken care of since it was laid, and the original color can no longer be seen, and there are a few bright mud footprints under the table, and the soles of the feet are not soft to the touch, but a little sticky and disgusting.

She didn't light a candle or wipe down the table or chair, but leaned over with difficulty to lift the thin quilt from the bed, moved herself, and carefully moved herself onto the mattress.

As soon as she lay down, suddenly there was light in the room, and the miserable white light split the darkness in the room, and it was fleeting.

"Boom!"

The roaring thunder seemed to explode in the ears, followed by the sound of pouring water, pouring rain, and the rushing waterfall falling from the sky and hitting the eaves fiercely, as if to wash away everything in this world.

The windows of her house were not closed, and the sash shook back and forth from the violent storm, and the rain fell into the house with the wind, and soon a water stain appeared on the floor.

Qin Shumei listened, but she didn't get up to close the window, but let the torrential rain hit the window edge.

This is the first time she has felt the loneliness rising from the bottom of her heart since she entered Dayin.

Qin Shumei's mind irrepressibly burst into laughter Yanji, Yanchang, who was unexpectedly reliable although he was nervous, and Yanfu, who silently protected the group like a big brother......

Also, Yang Zhaoquan, who took her hand and hugged her into his arms.

Since he found out the rules of her life, he didn't need her to speak, and the kettle of food would be delivered to him at regular intervals. Whether it was sleeping in the field or in the inn, he would make her bed in advance.

Lighting lamps in the dark, playing umbrellas in the rain, and Yang Zhaoquan together, she rarely pays attention to this kind of trivial things in life, although she is in ancient times, the environment is harsh, but he does everything possible to make his life comfortable.

In dealing with her affairs, he did everything himself, and never pretended to others.

An ethereal voice sounded in Qin Shumei's heart, this voice sounded out of place, and it came out of nowhere, and even she herself was not the slightest defense.

If you want to stay in this world for the rest of your life, perhaps, it would be good to marry Yang Zhaoquan like this.

It may be that the pain in his body has made his will weak, Qin Shumei put his relatively intact arm on his gradually moistened eyes, as if this would block the endless tears.

The thunder became louder and louder, her cuffs were as wet as rain, and the pillows around her ears were almost saturated.

Sleepless nights.

The summer rain came violently and walked quickly.

The early morning sun pierced through the clouds and cast spots of light on the ground through the half-open windows. Qin Shumei moved her arm, which was as stiff as a wooden stick, and it wasn't until there was a knock on the door panel that her body moved slowly.

The floor near the window was already soaked, and the window paper was torn in a few places, and the rest of the wet was sticking to the wooden frame, almost breaking at the touch of a touch, looking pitiful.

Qin Shumei got up from the bed board. Wiped his face casually and opened the door of the house, Da Yu was waiting against the wall, with a dough cake in his mouth, which should be insufficient, and he took another one in his hand.

He followed the sound of the door, and saw Qin Shu's swollen eyes at a glance, and then swept to the miserable appearance in the room, and smiled dumbly.

"It seems that Qin Niangzi had a very hard time last night, was she so frightened by the thunder that she didn't dare to close the window?"

Da Yu waited with great interest for Qin Shumei to come back fiercely, or at least to roll her eyes and show her face, but she didn't seem to hear it, so she directly snatched the cake from his hand and took a big bite.

She hadn't eaten dinner since yesterday, and cried all night, so hungry that she looked like a wolf, and she had to save up her strength if she wanted to quarrel.

Stopping her hunger, Qin Shumei relieved her breath, she took out the last silver from her arms and handed it directly to Da Yu.

"Ask the shopkeeper to rent a carriage and go to Renzheng Street."
