Yutai Teahouse.

It is a time-honored brand in the capital.

There are people coming and going, carrying cages and birds, fortune tellers, and cockfighting and dog walking. The rich and noble enter the door with high spirits, and they have done enough momentum; The humble enter the door to fight a thousand tricks, flattery.

The shopkeeper's surname is Wang, who probably took over the stall from his father around the year of Wuxu, which is considered an ancestral business; Be careful and lively, be able to speak, meet the source left and right, turn around the store with an orchid finger, and immediately coax a group of tea customers to be happy with one mouth, and anyone can take care of their face.

was greeting, and suddenly saw two people walking in outside.

The one in front of him is carrying an old backpack, at a glance he is a craftsman, his stature is short, his appearance is also ordinary, how to look at it, how inconspicuous, but the clothes are slightly wide, it seems that it does not fit well, but it is not unusual, yesterday there were still people who picked up the clothes of the dead to wear.

He knew the latter one.

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly put on a welcoming smile, bent over, raised his head and pouted, and thrust down with one hand, "Yo, Xu Sanye, why do you have time to come to my small place today, don't you feel sorry for me?" ”

This Xu Sanye is the master of the rangers in the capital, he has been mixed for half his life, and he has not made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes of Wumen, but he is the number one person in the market.

It is said that when the fifth master of the Wuxu year robbed the prison to save Mr. Zhuang Fei, it was this person who secretly ran around, contacted everyone to respond, and attached great importance to righteousness, so he was regarded as a master by all the rangers, and responded to every call.

Back then, the Yuanshun Dart Bureau was swung by the thunder sky, and it was also demolished by this one, and when the door of the god was dead, he also found someone to sing for three days.

When the foreigner entered Beijing, although he did not have the ability to carry a knife and rush into battle, he dug a lot of secret cellars behind his back and saved many people secretly, but unfortunately his life was not good......

The shopkeeper Wang is old and refined, and at a glance, he can see that the two of them came together, and then look at Xu Sanye's deliberate backwardness, he knows that this craftsman is definitely not simple, and he hurriedly asked the guy to take the old man's back.

Xu Sanye has a round face and a big belly, a fat figure, a whitish beard on his cheeks, a gown with a velvet collar, and stable cotton boots, he handed over the birdcage casually, and then stuffed a few golden beans, "Borrow this place from you, I will invite someone to have a good meal, and ask the guy to buy me a table of decent wine and food, and I will reward you more." ”

How dare the shopkeeper Wang slack off, he hurriedly agreed, and ordered the men to go out quickly, turned his head and saw that the two had picked a secluded position in the corner, and walked up quickly to greet him.

Xu Sanye waved his hand, "You are busy, I will do the rest by myself, I have to pour this wine myself." ”

The craftsman smiled bitterly, he had already used the means of disguise and shrinking his bones, and he didn't want to hide from those errand soldiers, and he didn't hide from these cloudy old eyes.

The craftsman is none other than Chen Zhuo.

He and Fang Tian moved at the end of October, day and night, and arrived in Jinmen in mid-December, plus they planned and arranged outside the capital, so they turned into craftsmen and entered the city.

"I don't have much ability, but my eyesight is outstanding, your eyes are the only one in the world, and I can't forget them when I see them, haha."

Xu Sanye got up and poured wine as he spoke, laughing quietly and looking respectful.

"We've always wanted to pay tribute to you with this cup, and now I've got this thought done."

"Why bother like this, I'm just a craftsman who walks the rivers and lakes."

Chen Zhuo smiled and took a drink.

The teahouse is very lively, and it is just in time for the New Year's Festival, and many people come in and out.

After talking and laughing, Xu Sanye sighed with emotion, the heroes and heroes in the capital, big and small, are now fleeing, walking, scattering, and dying, but it is not easy to see familiar faces.

"How is that lord?"

This is asking Wang Wu.

"Hmm!"

Chen Zhuo couldn't tell a lie, lowered his eyelids, and responded vaguely.

As soon as he arrived in Jinmen, he had asked all the brothers, but there was no trace of Wang Wu and Cheng Tinghua.

"Then I'll be relieved."

The smile on Xu Sanye's face was even worse.

"Those masters are not in the capital, it is not easy for you to act alone, and no one cares. If you don't dislike it, if you have any useful place, just say hello, as long as you open your mouth, the brothers in Sijiu City can come over. ”

The old man has been in the mix all his life, and when he looks at the person in front of him, he already knows that he has to do something big again.

Chen Zhuo looked at the old man's expectant look in his eyes, poured a glass of wine for the other party, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Old man, don't think about it, I'll just come back to take a look, besides, you are all a handful of years old, and your grandchildren are running all over the ground, take a good rest, and in a few years, you may be able to live in the same house for four generations and five generations." ”

The smile on Xu Sanye's face stiffened, and then he added a little bitterness, sat down slowly, pressed his legs, and was silent for a long time before he said: "How can there be any four generations in the same hall to say, it's gone...... I have four sons, and when Jinmen was lost, the eldest and second went and didn't come back......"

Chen Zhuo's hand holding the cup suddenly stopped.

The old man's eyes turned red, he lowered his head and smiled, and said casually: "When the foreigners entered Beijing, the third and fourth children were beaten into a sieve in order to save people...... The child's mother is also crazy, she didn't watch it a year ago, she jumped into a well, and the only daughter-in-law also changed her ......"

Xu Sanye looked at Chen Zhuo, with tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Originally, I didn't ask for a good end, and I was able to survive until now, thanks to the fact that I still have a grandchild, but these times my body bones are getting worse and worse, I thought that this breath was a fart, there was no sound in life, and I couldn't hear movement in death, but God has mercy on me, you are back...... I should have hope......"

The old man laughed dryly, and the spiritual head that had been looking at him seemed to be gone in an instant, and his eyes seemed to be lifeless.

Chen Zhuo's pupils shrank, and as soon as he took Xu Sanye's wrist, his face was struggling, and he immediately whispered in his ear: "Lantern Festival, enter the palace, kill the Queen Mother of the West!" ”

In an instant, Xu Sanye's sallow face seemed to have regained its blood color, and his eyes also had a glow.

Chen Zhuo paid attention to the surroundings and lowered his voice, "This year's Lantern Festival, the palace wants to invite foreigners to come in to be lively, and I have also found a lot of trick-playing craftsmen, you say, with my unique job of changing my face, can I go in?" ”

He raised his eyelids, his eyelids twitching, and while he drank wine, he asked softly, "What about your grandson?" I'll arrange him first, and we'll think about it in the long run...... This time, Old Man Xu, I have all your thoughts......"

Xu Sanye leaned back against the back of the chair, and suddenly let out a long suck from his slightly open mouth, rolling in his throat, and then a strange flush welled up on his face, and a word squeezed out of his mouth.

"Good!"

During the chat, the guy had already led the people back in a hurry, and they were out of breath, and several people carried a large food box half a person high and rushed to the table.

The same dishes were laid out.

Chickens, ducks, fish, geese, everything, cattle and sheep on the table, meat and vegetarian are complete.

Xu Sanye's face turned red, "I respect you!" ”

Chen Zhuo sighed faintly, "In this battle, we should be famous for the world!" ”
