Chapter Twenty-Three: Homecoming
I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I simply removed the blood stains and got up and came out.
Change into the black pants and gray clothes of a bearded man.
"Yoyo, I'm home."
Took a cold shower and changed clothes.
The young man felt refreshed, and the excitement and anger just now had been greatly reduced.
Walking to the side of the night breeze, the young man wiped away two lines of tears from the little girl.
It should have cried again while he was in the shower.
Flip on your horse, holding the little one in your left hand and the reins in your right hand.
"Drive!" (Don't drive it (.) ・ω・。 )ノ♡)
With both feet patting the horse's belly, there was a loud cry in his mouth, and the night wind neighed, and then his feet galloped wildly.
At this moment when it was about to fall into the night, the black horse carried two people across a three-way intersection.
The two-mile road is another three-way intersection.
The man controls the horse to turn to the left, and crosses directly without stopping.
The two bodies in the middle of the road are also destined to be ignored, and it is impossible to find the so-called murderer.
…
In the direction of Qingyang Town, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded.
The night wind carried the two to the entrance of the town.
At this time, the entrances and exits of Qingyang Town were still guarded, and the reason was that the case of the mayor's murder had not yet been concluded, and it still needed to be strictly investigated.
"Dismount and be inspected!" The Baohe Tuan's disciples on duty said loudly.
There are not many families in the town who raise horses, and they basically recognize them, and all of them are rich landlords without exception.
"What is there to check, what can I bring with me this way." At this time, men are very unhappy to be delayed.
"Hey! You kid can't understand human words, do you, do you want us to teach you......" A sturdy boy on duty was angry.
Before he could finish speaking, the man threw over a piece of white flower and smashed it into his arms.
When I looked closely, it was actually silver, and when I weighed it, there were as many as two taels.
"Where do you sell alcohol?" The man asked casually.
"Oh, brother, you're asking the right person, I'm very familiar with this town, just turn right on this road for a while."
The sturdy man who took the silver replied with a very good attitude, and he didn't check it either.
"Well, thanks."
With that, the night wind carried the two into the town gate and went straight to the wine shop.
"Slow down, brother! Come back next time! The two children on duty said goodbye.
"You can't keep it to yourself, and I have a share." After the other person on duty saw the young man leaving, he hurriedly went over and grabbed the hand of the cashier man.
"It's indispensable, let's go have a drink later." The stout man laughed.
Hearing this, the Baohe Tuan's disciple let go of his hand, revealing an expression that I understand.
…
Feng Kang Wine Shop.
The owner of the liquor store has moved the drinks outside the door back to the store, and is installing the door panels for the store one by one.
Just as the gate was installed, and it was just halfway closed, it was suddenly resisted.
"Huh? What's stuck in the door? The old man in the shop couldn't close it even a few pushes.
"Boss, buy wine."
Outside the liquor store, a man led a little girl and stood at the door with one hand.
The boss didn't pay attention to it and closed the door one by one.
"Boss, buy wine." The young man spoke again.
The old man still ignored it, kept pushing the door with both hands, and even scolded a little impatiently: "What is in the way?" ”
"I'm TM, boss! Buy wine! The man outside the door couldn't bear it any longer, and after breaking out a foul word, he yelled.
The old man who closed the door suddenly heard someone yelling next to him, and he was startled.
He took several steps back, didn't stand on his feet, and sat on the ground.
"You...... Buy wine, buy wine, what to yell at! The owner of the liquor store sat on the ground and was exasperated.
"I've told you a few times." The man rolled his eyes and said in a normal volume.
"What did you say?" The old man asked with a puzzled expression.
The man and the little girl standing at the door of the store were completely speechless, and this relationship was a deaf heir.
"Ten catties of wine, the most expensive!" The man said in a loud voice, feeling that this should correspond to the old man's hearing.
"Buy wine, you're late enough, and I'll close my door in a while." The liquor shop owner doesn't seem to be very interested in business.
"That's troublesome uncle, please hurry up, it's not early, I have to rush back." The man hugged his fists, very polite.
"No, I'm going to close the door and sleep." The old man waved his hand, got up and was about to close the door.
The door was halfway closed, and it was resisted again, and the person was still Zhong Yuanxiu.
"It's up to you."
The man smiled evilly and slowly pushed open the wooden door, and the old man behind the wooden door was forced to retreat.
"What are you going to do! I don't make your money, okay! ”
I was taken aback by a man before, and I was in a bad mood, and then he was old and didn't care much about money.
"Nope." The man chuckled, and did not deliberately raise his voice.
After the man finished speaking, he walked to the counter in a few steps, and picked up a large jar of wine, which weighed about twenty pounds.
"Put it down! This wine is precious, don't break it! The old man panicked and said, if the wine falls, the people will run away, and his old arms and legs will not be able to catch up.
The stinky and shameless man held the wine jar with one hand and walked straight out of the wine shop.
"How much! If you want money, you will quote, and if you don't quote, I will leave. The man said in a loud voice.
This time, the old man heard it clearly, and saw that the other party's posture was really good, so he reluctantly said, "One jar of five taels of silver." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man took out six taels of silver and slapped it into the old man's hand.
Without saying a word, he took Xiao Budian and turned around and left.
"What a weirdo." The old man looked at the blurred figures of the two horses and muttered.
After experiencing the beard and the yellow-toothed man.
Zhong Yuanxiu had a new idea in his heart, maybe this world doesn't have to be so reasonable.
…
In the faint light of the moon, the man could clearly see the ground, and even ride a horse at full speed, without imagining a bad situation at all.
The man on the horse was again lost in thought, thinking about questions that could not be answered at this stage.
Are you in a galaxy similar to the solar system?
Why is there also a sun and a moon here?
Is it the wormhole proposed in science that teleports you?
Will there be immortals in this vast universe?
A series of questions swirled in the man's brain, making him keep thinking, and even forgetting about the robbery and murder today.
"Uncle Zhong! We're going to fall! Lin Youyou shouted in fear.
"Huh? What's going to fall? it! ”
The distracted man glanced at the road under the horse and realized that he had gone off a long way.
Frightened, he quickly changed the direction of the horse with the reins.
I almost rushed into the ditch on the side of the road.
"Well, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The man slowed down his horse and touched the little girl's head.
The man who had been frightened once didn't dare to be careless anymore, and honestly looked at the road in front of him.
…
Five o'clock.
Sunset Village Entrance.
In the blink of an eye, a horse rushed in, and few villagers noticed.
Except for a small number of people who were woken up.
Dr. Li, who usually goes to bed early and gets up early, is still sitting in the yard looking at the stars, accompanied by a good daughter.
The meal on the table has been ready for a long time, just wait for a person to come back and have dinner with them.
"Nothing really happened to this kid...... right" Dr. Li frowned, muttering incessantly, now he is very interested in apprentices.
"Dad, let's go out and look for it, it may be that Brother Zhong is lost outside."
Li Yinyin, who was sitting on the bench, was also worried and proposed to go out to look for it.
"It's pitch black, we can't see it clearly when we go out, how else to find it, we can only wait." Although Dr. Li was in a hurry, he was not confused.
"Phew!"
After only a few breaths of time from entering the village to the house, the man led the little girl and walked to the courtyard with spring flower wine.
The father and daughter in the courtyard were puzzled, they seemed to have heard the sound of horses' hooves just now.
In a remote place like Sunset Village, unless something big happens, you can't even see the shadow of a horse.
Before the two of them could go out to observe, they heard someone outside coming to the courtyard.
After a while, a familiar face appeared in the courtyard, and the hanging hearts of the father and daughter finally relaxed.
When I saw the little girl, I was very puzzled, and I didn't understand what the relationship between the little girl and the man was.
"Master! Tone! Miss me! Zhong Yuanxiu asked in a loud voice, his face full of smiles.
"Humph! What do you want you to do, I'm afraid that your wine will be stolen by you. ”
The little old man wanted to give a confirmed answer, but he was afraid that this criminal would kick his nose in the face, so he pretended not to want to.
"Whether you miss me or not, I miss you anyway, come! Hug one! Zhong Yuanxiu put down the wine jar in his hand, ran over in three or two steps, and hugged Dr. Li with both hands.
"Ouch! If you tap it, you're going to strangle your master. The little old man was hugged so tightly by Zhong Yuanxiu that he was almost out of breath.
This young man who had just come back and was very excited, let go of the little old man who loved to beat him.
"Yinyin!" Zhong Yuanxiu looked at Li Yinyin again and opened his arms to her.
"I ...... I'm just... Count ......" Li Yinyin was embarrassed and wanted to refuse.
Before she finished speaking, Zhong Yuanxiu had already hugged her into his arms.
Li Yinyin, who was hugged tightly, was hot all over, and quickly turned red from head to neck.
After a while, he gently pushed Zhong Yuanxiu away and took a few steps back.
"Brother Zhong, men and women don't kiss." Li Yin said in a voice like a gnat.
"Hahahaha, my fault, but I'm really happy to see you and my master again!" Zhong Yuanxiu is thick-skinned, and the smile on his face still does not change.
This time, the apprentice took advantage of his daughter, and the little old man was not angry.
Because when the apprentice hugged him, he smelled a smell of blood.
It's the smell of human blood!
Concentrate:
Why did you change from the title of youth to a man, I believe that intelligent readers can understand it in place (. ・ω・。 )ノ♡。
I like to put a lot of life plots into the novel, as well as the dialogue between the characters, hoping to make the protagonist a flesh-and-blood person, with different mentalities and behaviors at various stages, and this process is called growth.
