Three months later, Zuo Qing's injuries have all healed, but because of the injuries to his muscles and bones, he can only do some light fire now.

These three months are not long, but Zuo Qing still doesn't like words, and he puts on a cold face all day long, rarely smiling. The most common thing to do is to help Su Mingsa sweep the tavern when the sun rises, barely hold a plate with his half-crippled hands when there is business, and pace in the yard in his spare time, looking at the flowers, looking at the grass, and by the way, seeing that there are fewer and fewer swallows... When the sun set, he accompanied Su Yan, sat on the threshold at each end, watched the people on the street together, and gradually entered the night market.

Su Yan gradually figured out his temperament, this person was dull and boring, and even a little indifferent, but at least he was willing to help her dry herbs and tidy up the yard, at least, he was not as worldly as others, and he was not as despised as those dignitaries in Ruoshui City.

Su Yan didn't know his past, nor did he know his purpose, he only knew that at this moment, he was her friend, and she could make him feel at ease.

Su Ming has been a little abnormal recently, Su Yan finally found the herbs for him to make wine to fight against Ghost Li, he didn't resist it, and suddenly gave up without saying a word! Su Yan thought that since he had given up, he would stop there and just renovate the tavern. I didn't think about it, he didn't know what kind of wind he smoked, and he began to think about how to defeat the enemy again, and after two days, he lost his patience again, and there was nowhere to go for that pile of precious herbs, so Su Yan specially found a good day and took it out and spread it in the yard to remove the moisture.

Zuo Qing took a bowl of porridge and walked through the courtyard, sitting on a stool at the door of the tavern, all kinds of passers-by passed in front of him, he buried himself in hard work, and drank a small half bowl of porridge. Su Yan touched a herb in the herbs in the place, sat down beside him, pulled the herb into small pieces, and threw it into a bowl. Zuo Qing's hand suddenly froze there, and he turned his head to look at her mechanically, "What are you doing?" ”

Su Yan clapped his hands and smiled, "Poison." ”

Zuo Qing didn't care, took a spoon to mash the herbs, and drank it in a few sips.

"Su Ming has a headache." Zuo Qing suddenly said this, which made Su Yan a little confused, "It's not unusual for anyone in this town to have the opportunity to collect these medicinal materials, even if they are sold to outsiders, you can't rob those experienced merchants, so these can't be sold here at all." ”

Su Yan's eyes lit up: "Sir, do you have a clever plan?" ”

"The place with the most opportunities is only Chu City."

Su Yan didn't even think about it, "Then I'll go to Chu City tomorrow!" ”

Zuo Qing's index finger slid over the edge of the bowl and nodded, "It's a long way to go, and besides, will you sell it?" ”

Su Yan was so angry that his face was red: "What do you mean by selling, why do you always have something to say like this!" Let's not worry about whether we can sell it or not, as long as we can enter Chu City, there is a chance! With my incorruptible tongue, even if I can't sell it, I have other ways to make a fortune. ”

"It seems that you went to Chucheng with selfish motives."

"Tsk! It's good to know, don't say it, or my master won't let me go. But...... You have to go with me, otherwise he won't let me go out alone, don't leave me alone, you don't care about me, you're soft-mouthed! ”

"I'll go with you." He said as he walked outside.

"Where are you going?"

"On the street, prepare dry food."

"And dry food? Then we have to prepare well, let's prepare everything that should be used on the road and what should not be used..."

Zuo Qing turned around and asked, "What is considered unused?" ”

"That's... Don't use... You don't have to know as a man! Su Yan picked up the stool and fled back to the hall in a hurry.

On the day of departure, Su Yan changed into men's clothes, put on a hat, carried a large package and a bamboo basket, and went out with great interest. Before leaving, Su Ming wiped his tears and said reluctantly: "It's the first time you go out by yourself, be careful in everything, don't let the teacher worry." ”

Su Yan took Master's hand and squeezed it, pretending to be sad: "Master, you have to take care of yourself, I'm afraid it will take a long time for me to come back, and Zuo Qing will be fine along the way, don't worry." ”

Su Ming was not at ease, put away his tears, looked at Zuo Qing coldly and said: "Mr. is also a person with status, you have to protect my apprentice along the way, if there is a mistake, don't blame me for what I said that day is true." ”

Zuo Qing smiled indifferently, "Naturally." ”

Su Yan was a little confused, "What words?" ”

"Let's go, we must find a place to stay before it gets dark." Su Yan was dragged away by Zuo Qing without knowing what to do, left the main street all the way, and then left the town, and suddenly realized, hum, it turned out to be a broken sleeve.

The road was far away and very boring, but Su Yan was in high spirits, talking about everything, and his mouth never stopped.

After a few days of non-stop driving, he didn't even see the city wall of Chucheng, Su Yan really couldn't go on, so he found a woods and rested temporarily.

Zuo Qing's face was red and almost oozing blood, beads of sweat were connected into lines, and his robe was almost soaked. Su Yan glanced at him, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Sure enough, people with a little money have never suffered hardship, and they can't take two steps!

After Su Yan was full of food and drink, he threw the rest to him, Zuo Qing didn't touch the dry food, and only drank a few sips of water.

Su Yan wiped his sweat and said, "What are you going to do when you come to Chucheng?" Looking for relatives or do you have something big to do? ”

That day, when Su Yan told Zuo Qing that he wanted to go to Chucheng to sell medicinal materials, he always felt that Zuo Qing had a problem, so he secretly followed him to the street, but turned into an alley, and looked closely, isn't this where Mr. Bai is! Su Yan was about to catch up, but saw that Zuo Qing had already come out and was stuffing something into his arms. And since Mr. Bai met Zuo Qing, he closed the door of the store, as if he was leaving. When I thought about it at this time, I felt that Mr. Zuo Qing and Mr. Bai were strange.

Zuo Qing leaned against the trunk of the tree, the sunlight fell on his cheeks through the leaves, a rare warmth and quietness, and he wrote lightly: "Private matter." ”

"Private matters, then I don't want to ask too much, it's just that I help you so much, and you must repay it when the time comes."

He looked at her and smiled.

If it was the master who smiled at her, maybe she still felt that she cared about herself, but Zuo Qing's smile made her feel cold, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart, what kind of conspiracy did he have!

She moved away a little and kept her distance from him: "There is only me in a hundred miles, who are you laughing at!" ”

Zuo Qing said, "You show people in men's clothes, and you are also a suave teenager." ”

Su Yan was stunned, feeling that he was a nymphomaniac! He said complacently: "In the past, Master always said that if I were a man, he would never save me, because I would kidnap his wife!" You say, isn't it a pity for me to be a woman? ”

"If you are a man, presumably all the handsome young men in the world will be compared to you, but unfortunately, you are a daughter."

Su Yan pulled him and asked, "Then you say, am I good at being a man?" ”

Zuo Qing glanced at her strangely, for a long time, frowned and asked, "You like women?" ”

Su Yan shook him off, "Don't you like men too?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Su Yan smiled evilly, "My master is extraordinary to you, I suspect that the two of you secretly have feelings for you, you ......"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Zuo Qing quickly stood up, her face suddenly blushing, "Let's hurry." ”

Su Yan has been bored for so long, and finally found a way to speak, how can he give up easily. chattered all the way behind him, "You say, if I match the two of you, will it be considered a virtue?" ”

“……”

"Master doesn't admit that he has broken sleeves, isn't he embarrassed?"

“……”

"When you are together, do you want Master to marry or do you join our family? No, no, no matter how you look at it, it should be you marrying my master and being my master! ”

“……”

When Su Yan was a child, her father always explained to her the situation of the Six Kingdoms, and when he talked about Chu, he said with emotion on his face: Forty years ago, the Five Nations Alliance attacked Chu and drove the Chu people out of the old capital 'Ruoshui', and rushed to the south of the Yangtze River. It is precisely because of this that Su Yan has wanted to see what kind of place the Chu State is like since he was a child.

Probably because he has had a deep impression of this paradise since he was a child, or this impression is deeply imprinted with his father's indelible traces, Su Yan always feels that this place is very familiar. Every street, every shop, even the passers-by seem to have been here and met, probably this is déjà vu.

The sky was getting dark, and the two of them hurried into the capital, and as soon as Zuo Qing entered the city gate, he didn't want to go straight to the most expensive inn, Su Yan lowered the brim of his hat and hid his face under the hat, and hugged the herbs that the master asked her to sell, she was really afraid that Zuo Qing would use the herbs to pay for the room.

The innkeeper was a cross-eyed, staring at them for a long time, and waved his hand impatiently, "You... You go... Go farther! I think... Look... I don't know! "It's not just a cross-eyed, it's a stump! Su Yan asked tentatively: "Boss, the two cheapest rooms... Is there a room? ”

"You... Why are you learning... Learn from me? The boss glared at the cross-eyed and said angrily, looking extremely funny, and said, "No! Now all that's left is... One room, love... Love or not... No! After that, he stopped bothering with them, and took care of himself and turned over the account book.

Su Yan smiled disdainfully and smashed the medicine basket on the counter, scaring the boss so much that he almost fell to the ground.

"It's strange, I don't see that there are many people here, how can there be only one room left?"

The boss's attitude is still tough, "You want two... Two rooms are also OK, the number of days... Two rooms! I'm afraid... I'm afraid you can't afford it! Get this number. He gestured.

Su Yan's eyes straightened in fright when he saw it, "You robbed money in broad daylight?!" ”

The boss shrugged and said, "The one who wishes takes the bait." ”

"Black-hearted big radish!" Su Yan glared at him fiercely, picked up the medicine basket and was about to leave, but saw that Li Ghost and the two of them were also here.

Su Yan felt a pain in his heart, and his head was buzzing.

Li Gui's lone seedling son, Li Yan, became a nymphomaniac as soon as he saw Su Yan, and ran over to take her hand and shake it around, "Ah Yan, you are also here!" It's really fateful! ”

Su Yan quietly retracted his hand, "What kind of fate, could it be that I and your father also have fate?" ”

Li Yan took her hand again, and got tired of it, "What kind of fate can you and my father have, of course we have fate, let my father book an inn for you tonight, and we will live face to face, okay?" ”

Su Yan's eyes lit up, and he just wanted to agree, but his father dragged his son and his eyes widened angrily, "Stupid son!" We can't afford to mess with this kind of woman, don't be deceived! ”

"Daddy! Why do you say that, Ayan? ”

Su Yan thought about the free accommodation, and didn't plan to touch his head for the time being, "Uncle Li, I have always been a responsible person, and I have never had a bad heart towards Li Yan, you are too worried!" ”

Ghost Li pushed his son away and glared at Su Yan angrily, "I, Ghost Li, am the family of merchants in Kuaifeng Town!" His grandfather, who is also my father, used to be an official in Ruoshui! How can you say that our family is also a rich party, you are just a restaurant that is about to go out of business, you are not worthy, just stay away from us if you are interested! ”

Su Yan wanted to refute, but because he was an elder, he had to hold back the words when they came to his lips.

"What, you agree? Hum! That's right, it's good to know your status, so you don't make a fool of yourself. Ghost Li put on an arrogant stinky face, and he was very proud in his heart.

"Whether you are worthy or not depends not on how much net worth, let alone on status, since she respects you Uncle Li, she must respect you in her heart, she has done enough in etiquette, if it is me, I can't treat each other with courtesy, at least I shouldn't speak ill of you." Zuo Qing finally opened his mouth to break the siege.

Ghost Li looked at him carefully, and then remembered that the young man in front of him was the newly accepted guy from the Hongju Tavern, and couldn't help but sarcastically mock him: "You are the little white face raised by Su Yan, this girl?" Look at the two of you, a woman dressed as a man, and a dignified seven-foot man who eats soft rice, neither yin nor yang, nondescript, and immoral! ”

Zuo Qing's face sank instantly.

Su Yan threw the medicine basket on the ground and said to him, "Uncle Li, you really don't feel comfortable for a day if you don't squeeze people!" But no matter what, for the sake of you helping my master at the beginning, I respect you as an uncle, but please don't pretend to be high in the future! Who doesn't know the situation of your family, if there are not a few shops left by your ancestors to support, I'm afraid you are not much better than us! ”

Ghost Li jumped like thunder, "You, you, what nonsense are you talking about?" My Li family's business is thriving, how can a little girl like you understand? How could your master pick up such a short-sighted thing as you, and he didn't know anything about it! ”

Su Yan was also merciless, "What's wrong with my master picking up such a thing as me?" My master is willing, can you manage it? But I'm not a vegetarian! ”

Ghost Li was so angry that he rubbed his chest and gasped. Li Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly went to help.

"Daddy! Don't die, there are so many shops at home, I can't manage it! ”

Ghost Li glanced at Li Yan, "No conscience!" I can't die of your father! ”

Zuo Qing found that the scene was uncontrollable, so he immediately paid for the room, dragged Su Yan, who was scolding vigorously, and went straight upstairs.

"Don't pull me! I haven't scolded enough! Zuo Qing didn't let go, and persuaded her as she walked, "Leave a way back for people in everything, and I will never do this to you, how will we live together in the future?" ”

Su Yan put on an indifferent look and said, "Who wants to live with them?" How can I say that I am also a person who practices martial arts, and people who practice martial arts pay attention to like-mindedness, can they be compared to me? ”

Zuo Qing shook his head helplessly, speechless.
