Du Xiaolin took the lotus flower in her hand, looked at the boat in the distance, and couldn't help frowning.

Before going down the mountain, although Du Xiaolin was a person who cultivated immortals, she went to the Taiyin Palace when she was a child, and she had been learning the Tao in the mountains, and she didn't know the complexity of the world.

And after going down the mountain, especially the memory of the long-cherished world has recovered, although many things can't be empathized with the figure in the memory, but the experience is not just a simple little girl.

People's hearts are complicated, and the world is helpless, and the person who rowed away is of course hateful, but he is already in great trouble.

Thinking so, Du Xiaolin looked down at the thing in her hand, and rushed to this flower, this girl let you go.

"Hey—"

Du Xiaolin shouted to the small boat that had left the dock more than ten feet away, and also made the man on the boat look back at the dock.

I saw the little girl raise the bud in her hand and shouted in a crisp and pleasant voice.

"Thank you for the flowers—"

The man smiled, his mood was inexplicably better, compared to the He family's repeated praise of him as a nobleman, the little girl's gratitude was more sincere and pleasant, and even the gloom in her heart was dissipated.

He bowed in the direction of the dock, which made Du Xiaolin a little inexplicable, but she also shouted again.

"You don't really want to die—"

Even though it was already a little far away, Du Xiaolin still saw that the smiling man's face stiffened, she didn't say anything, he smiled, took the bud in his hand and turned around and left.

The man in the boat frowned, this little girl guessed it herself?

Yes, she saw the He family bringing me over, and saw me holding lotus flowers, so she could naturally imagine that I still wanted to pick the rest of the flowers, what a smart child of ice and snow!

But why does this child think that picking lotus is tantamount to looking for death?

The man thought about it, he thought of the child's speculation, he thought of other possibilities, and finally of the little boy and the little girl themselves.

In this small Luo County, in one day, it is really gratifying to meet such two children, it would be a pity to change the time and place, but it is a pity that the two roads that can be seen now seem to be dead ends

"Hehehehe

The man laughed nervously, thinking back to himself a day ago and himself today, the circumstances of life were really unpredictable.

Then the man turned the bow of the boat, raised the sails, and with the help of the wind and his own rocking in the stern of the boat, he sailed against the current in the river towards Wolju.

Perhaps the boat would pass by the place where the real lotus was collected, but the man obviously didn't have the time to really look for it, and his boat could be regarded as a fugitive.

Theoretically, the man's current situation should go to Wuzhou immediately to make sure, but he acted against his instincts and plans, and took advantage of the inspiration brought by buying flowers to row to Yuezhou alone, and it was good to create a little more surprise for others.

——

At this moment, in Wuzhou City, further down the Ejiang River, a slightly thin man is walking on the street.

The city of Wuzhou is no worse than other big cities.

Nowadays, the state officials are much clearer than before, and the entire state city is also more vibrant, and the impact of the salt case is not only in the officialdom, but also affects thousands of households, even in the remote areas of Dayong, at least the price of salt is also affected.

The man looked at the flow of people on the street, looked at some familiar or unfamiliar scenes, and his eyes were full of emotion.

"Wuzhou, after so many years, I'm back again. Ahem, cough, cough. Ahem"

In the middle of the muttering, the man began to feel chest and lung discomfort again, so he covered his mouth and nose and coughed a few times, and then walked to a restaurant with a thriving business.

The man at the door saw that the visitor was dressed beautifully, and immediately ran away.

"Yo, how many of you are there?"

"Ahem. I'm the only one, but can I have a seat? ”

"The private room is gone, but the private seat is still there, please come in! Shopkeeper, a distinguished guest~~~"

The man smiled on his face and looked at the signboard of the restaurant, which said "Homecoming", which is a good meaning, and he feels at home!

Under the hospitality of his fellow men, the man sat down by the window on the second floor, ordered a few signature dishes casually, and then quoted tea at the table alone.

And this person is Pei Changtian, who has not been back to Wuzhou for many years, as he is now helping Chu Hang, although he has expectations for his hometown, but this time he will not come back for no reason.

At the moment of entering the restaurant, from the shopkeeper to every guy in the restaurant, Pei Changtian has already carefully observed, and there has been a slight speculation about who may have problems, of course, the premise is that the location is not wrong, and the next thing is to wait and see what big fish there are!

On another street in Wuzhou, there were a few people leading horses, and the direction they were moving was Wuzhou Yamen.

These people came all the way from Chengtianfu, and they didn't waste a little time on the road, and when they arrived on the streets of Wuzhou City, they finally didn't have to worry.

As he walked, the leader suddenly found a figure in the noodle stall in the distance that made him feel a little familiar, and before the person got close, he shouted from afar.

"Jade?"

On a noodle stall on the street, Xiao Yu occupied a table alone, and there were stacks of bowls stacked on the table, and the noodles in the big bowl in his hand had been refilled many times at this moment.

Xiao Yuzhi was eating heartily, and suddenly heard someone shouting to himself, puffed out his mouth and bit his face and looked up, as soon as he saw the figure in the distance, although he was not wearing the clothes of an official, although he looked a little strange, but the voice was very recognizable.

"Uncle Yang!"

Xiao Yuyi sucked all the noodles into his mouth, as if he swallowed them all without chewing much, and stood up and was about to walk towards Yang Pingzhong in the distance, when the noodle stall shopkeeper saw this and hurriedly stopped him.

"Hey, I want to go, I haven't given the money yet!"

"Oh oh, forgive me, how much?"

"This person has such a big appetite, if I leave directly, I won't have anywhere to cry, the stacked bowls are six, and they are renewed three times, a total of nine bowls of somen noodles are counted, and forty-five dollars are given!"

"Alas!"

Xiao Yuzhi stretched out his arms and groped for a while, and finally counted the corresponding copper coins, and at this time, some Yang Pingzhong and others who were holding the horse had already come closer, which also made Xiao Yuzhi excited.

"Uncle Yang, it's really you!"

Yang Pingzhong looked at Xiao Yuzhi, who was now in good health, with surprise on his face.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, I thought I would have time to go to Yuanjiang County in the future, I already knew about the old sect leader, alas, I couldn't rush back to give him a ride."

Xiao Yuzhi is also free and easy.

"Master used to say that everything in the rivers and lakes is difficult to be perfect, Uncle Yang, you are far away"

Speaking of this, Yang Pingzhong made a look, Xiao Yu's heart moved, and he immediately changed his words.

"It's normal to be far away and not be able to come back, besides, Master walked very peacefully, and there were many people who died at the end, even Mr. Yi was by his side!"

"Mr. Yi also went back? That's good, that's good. Well, how do you eat this? ”

"Uh, it's delicious."

Money is not omnipotent, but no money is impossible, the old sect leader has no long things, and the rest of the money is mostly used for posthumous affairs, and this situation he had predicted before he died, which can be regarded as a lesson for apprentices when they first enter the rivers and lakes.

Yang Pingzhong saw Xiao Yuzhi's embarrassment and said with a smile.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat something good later, can you still fit your stomach?"

"Ha, it's not a good thing, it's just five points full!"

The stall shop on the side listened to it secretly, this big-bellied man can really eat!

Several people walked together, and Yang Pingzhong also introduced Xiao Yuzhi to his colleagues beside him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a disciple of an elder from my hometown, Yuzhi, I won't introduce them much."

Xiao Yuzhi just smiled, but in his heart he understood that these people must have a big case to come here, and they came all the way from the Yamen of Chengtian Mansion, and the matter was not small!

"Uncle Yang, is there anything I can do to help?"

Xiao Yu's heart couldn't help but get excited, Yang Pingzhong looked at the former as he walked, and the thin child in his memory and the sturdy young man in front of him gradually coincided.

"I heard the old sect leader say in the letter that your kung fu is very good, enough to be on your own? Don't know how guts? ”

Xiao Yuzhi hadn't touched anyone since he went out, and he was happy and somewhat weak when he heard this, scratching his head.

"Martial arts may not be strong, but I am definitely not bad at guts!"

"Good boy, I'm quite modest, it's good to have this mentality when I first enter the rivers and lakes, how about it, have you ever thought about entering the public door?"

To tell the truth, Yang Pingzhong's words really made Xiao Yuzhi a little moved, he knew that the master was not just a county government leader, and that token had a lot of origin at a glance, but the master never mentioned it.

But not mentioning it doesn't hinder Xiao Yuzhi's imagination, but he doesn't want to just be an errand officer in one place.

"Let me stay in a yamen all day long, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay."

Yang Pingzhong didn't say more, after all, he was on the street, he just smiled and hooked Xiao Yuzhi's shoulder with his hand, and walked forward with him.

It's just that what Yang Pingzhong didn't expect was that his fifty percent of the temptation seemed to have no feeling at all in Xiao Yuzhi, and the other party walked without any abnormality.

If the two of them were standing still just now, Xiao Yu would not have moved at all.

"Hey, Uncle Yang, you can work harder!"

Xiao Yuzhi glanced at Yang Pingzhong with a smile, obviously clear in his heart.

Yang Pingzhong's eyes lit up.

"Good boy, I'm still looking away!"
