17. This morning

The morning glow of the small town is clear and transparent, gorgeous and colorful, without a trace of impurities.

The morning air is filled with the sweet smell of earth, like a comb combing the earth.

If you put aside the haze in your heart, put aside the grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes, and see such a natural and fresh world, you will be so happy that you have an urge to burst into tears.

He Yiliu pushed open the door and stretched out, took a few deep breaths, and then looked around, and suddenly found that his guest room was originally located in the westernmost part of the second floor, and the two rooms next to each other were storage rooms stacked with miscellaneous items, and they were not inhabited, but Qiu Yefei's guest room was located at the top east end of the second floor, far away from himself, He Yiliu suddenly had a feeling that he was isolated, no wonder he fought like that with five armored people in the room last night but did not disturb the other guests.

Ha Yiliu vaguely felt that this seemed to be a conspiracy.

The smell of food wafted downstairs, and Ha Yiliu's stomach growled, and he decided to go for breakfast.

As soon as he entered the lobby of the restaurant on the first floor, He Yiliu bumped into Tang Lanxiang, who was neatly dressed.

Today's Tang Lanxiang is very different from the past, the balsam is faint, the hair is black and shiny, the head is full of decorations, wearing a violet skirt, a lace-trimmed cloth belt, the center of the belt is an orchid buckle, a long light blue ribbon from its right shoulder poured down, in the chest after sparing a bay, straight on the left arm, the whole person looks, neither noble, nor demonic, both amorous, and dignified, it can really be said to be beautiful and generous, fresh and moving, just like the morning in this small city.

When He Yiliu saw Tang Lanxiang dressed up like this for the first time, he couldn't help but admire her a few more times.

Such women are usually loved, especially by men, and if you meet a restless man who likes to mess with flowers and grass, you may not be able to help but step forward and laugh a few times.

But He Yiliu felt that Tang Lanxiang was definitely not a woman who could be ridiculed.

Because she has two weapons hidden in her body, one is the eyes and the other is the dimples, her eyes have sharp insight, and her dimples have a deep cold, and any man with bad intentions can be invisibly injured by it if she is not careful, as long as she is willing to do so.

As soon as Tang Lanxiang saw He Yiliu, she said with a smile: "Guest officer, did you sleep well last night?"

He Yiliu said: "It's not bad. ”

Tang Lanxiang said: "There are no mosquitoes and flies to disturb you at night." ”

He Yiliu said: "Oh, it's that five nasty cockroaches came out of nowhere in the middle of the night. ”

"Cockroaches?"

"Yes, cockroaches, there are five of them, but I've cleaned them up. He Yiliu smiled slyly.

"Huh. Tang Lanxiang also smiled in agreement, and casually followed:

"You're a hero!"

Breakfast is a bowl of sweet potato millet porridge. Two white flour steamed buns and two side dishes.

The porridge was fragrant. The steamed buns are very fluffy. The side dishes were salty.

Ha Yiliu felt that something was missing.

"Send me a plate of beef!

Tang Lanxiang called to the clerk, then pushed the plate of beef sent to He Yiliu, and said with a smile:

"I'll give you something to eat. ”

"Why?"

"Because you cleaned up five cockroaches last night and rewarded the big hero. ”

The way she smiled seemed genuine, because her dimples were soft at the moment.

Ha Yiliu still felt that something was missing.

"Get me another jar of sorghum wine. ”

When Tang Lanxiang heard this, she immediately called out to the clerk again: "Send another jar of sorghum wine!"

The wine came, and it was exactly the same as the jar of wine that Tang Lanxiang gave to Gu Liangzi last night.

"This guest officer, let me give you a drink. ”

Tang Lanxiang didn't care whether He Yiliu was willing or not, so she opened the mouth of the altar with her own hands, gave He Yiliu a full bowl of sorghum wine, watched He Yiliu drink it dry in one gulp, and continued to fill a bowl.

"Well, is this wine good? This is our own wine. Tang Lanxiang smiled sweetly.

"Not bad, good, mellow and fragrant, smooth taste, really good. He Yiliu praised again and again.

Tang Lanxiang was happy, looked at He Yiliu and said: "Don't hide it from this guest officer, I, the owner of a restaurant, love to watch men drink, especially you, drinking is different from ordinary people, bold, happy, and comfortable to watch." ”

"Really, do I look handsome when I drink?" Ha Yiliu quipped, but in the bottom of her heart, she was thinking about how this woman would compliment herself next, but don't be anesthetized by her nice words.

"Boss, the rest of the wine is sealed and stored at the counter for me, I still have something to do early in the morning, but I can't drink too much, I will be confused if I drink too much." ”

"It's easy to say, when you want to drink, come and get it at any time. ”

Tang Lanxiang instructed the clerk to store the remaining jar of sorghum wine drunk by He Yiliu on the counter, and she didn't want to leave, so she approached He Yiliu and said softly: "Isn't the guest officer going to go to a distant relative?

This morning's Tang Lanxiang is truly different.

The clothes are different, the tone of speech is different, and there are really many words!

What does she want to do?

At this time, two customers walked in, a woman and a young man.

The woman is steady, her face is like rice paper, the girl is innocent, and the flowers and the moon are beautiful.

It was Xia Lotus in the lotus tailor and her daughter Biwei.

The arrival of Xia Lotus and the two girls made Tang Lanxiang no longer talk so close to He Yiliu, thank God!

So the attention of the two of them was focused on Xia Lotus and Biwei.

Seeing the two of them find a seat and sit down, Xia Lotus said: "Biwei, there are too many trivial things for my mother these days, and I haven't had time to cook your favorite food for you." The sweet potato millet porridge in this restaurant tastes very good, so you can eat it vigorously today. ”

"Mother, are you really going out today?" asked Biwei.

"yes, go out and collect work. ”

"Far away, when will I be back?"

"It's so far away from these twenty miles, and I'll go after eating, and I'll be back in the afternoon. ”

After Xia Lotus finished speaking, she took out some broken silver from her arms and gave it to Biwei, and advised: "You can come here to buy some food for lunch, my mother can't control you, don't run around and play." ”

Xia Hehua thought for a while, and then said, "If there are people from the Zhao Mansion in the middle, you must not open the door, do you hear?"

Biwei nodded obediently.

After listening to the conversation between the two mothers, Tang Lanxiang walked over with two drunken dimples, and said to Xia Hehua very kindly: "Eldest sister, your daughter looks so good! Don't worry, we will arrange it for her at lunch." ”

Tang Lanxiang is very famous on this street, Xia Lotus naturally knows it, and replied politely: "It is said that Yuelai Restaurant has a good boss, and sure enough, then thanks to the boss's trouble, I will be back soon." ”

At this time, He Yiliu had finished breakfast and left the restaurant.

Early in the morning, a group of people gathered around the cockfighting ring at the west end of the street, cheering and cheering.

There's a cockfight going on.

Biwei was leisurely shopping and had nothing to do, so she also squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement.

The scene is still the scene of a fierce battle, and the people are still those who are addicted to gambling.

At this time, a chicken was defeated, and the winner immediately took away a small pile of silver from the table.

"Oops! Lost again!"

Hu San on the field smashed his fists and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. Suddenly, he found Biwei who was watching the excitement in the crowd, and suddenly his face was full of excitement, squeezed to Biwei's side, and said with a hippie smile: "Girl, teach me, how can I win?"

"Don't teach. Biwei didn't look at him at all.

"Half of the win. ”

"Don't. ”

"Hehe, I know you can use witchcraft, otherwise how could I have won Zhao Gongzi last time. ”

"That's Zhao Gongzi Lai Pi first, and this girl will punish her with a little carving insect skills. Now that people don't have a bad skin, if you lose the fight, naturally your chicken skills are not as good as others. ”

"How about you teach me that little trick carving? ”

"You can't learn it. ”

"Of course not, if you don't teach me, look at the girl so smart, and besides, I'm not stupid. When Hu San spoke, a pair of colored eyes never left Biwei's pink face.

"What are you staring at me all the time? Get a good chicken. Biwei was displeased and turned her head away.

Hu San is addicted to gambling, everyone knows it, but Hu San is also a womanizer, but not everyone knows it, and Biwei doesn't know it at a young age.

"I heard that girls like to raise scorpions, don't they?"

"What's your business. ”

"Hehe, I know where there are big, fat scorpions. ”

"Really, where are the big, fat scorpions?" Biwei was interested this time, and twisted her head back.

"It's not far, it's over there. Hu San pointed to a place very casually with his hand, stealing pleasure with bad intentions in his heart, "I'll take you to catch it." ”

Biwei has been snuggled up to her mother's side, no special hobbies, like boys, like to play with mud since childhood, one day playing, the little hand was stung by a scorpion, so angry that he grabbed the scorpion and put it in his mouth to bite him alive, the small mouth was swollen for four days and three nights, but the summer lotus was frightened, and he was fed medicine every day to reduce the swelling.

Later, as long as she saw the scorpion, Biwei didn't bite it anymore, so she grabbed it into her pocket and took it home, put it in a small box to raise, the more she caught, the more she raised, the more the small box could not hold, Xia Lotus nailed a large wooden box, and divided the scorpion into three layers, the first layer was just caught, the second layer was young, and the third layer was an adult poisonous scorpion.

Strange to say, since Biwei was stung, she no longer stung any scorpions she caught, and as long as those scorpions lay in her hands, it was as if they were lying in a very comfortable hotbed. Since then, raising scorpions has become Biwei's biggest hobby, and seeing scorpions is like seeing a beloved toy.

I kept it like this for five or six years.

Biwei listened to Hu San's words, believed it, and was happy, so she followed Hu San to catch the big and fat scorpion.

A little girl, she doesn't pretend to be society or rivers and lakes in her heart, she is clean and pure, how can she figure out Hu San's ghost thoughts?

This morning, as long as there are scorpions to catch, Biwei will not feel lonely.

This morning, even if you are not in the rivers and lakes, it is just as dangerous!
