The rainstorm is coming.

Xu Chunhua hurriedly walked around the long street at the bottom of Huaidu with the corner of her skirt.

No one thought that Huaidu, where rain is as expensive as oil, would have such a hasty rainstorm.

Xu Chunhua didn't bring an umbrella, so she had to hurriedly run to the eaves in front of her and hide.

Huai'an Dafeng Minlu has a compensation for lost work in an emergency, and Xu Chunhua is not worried that she will be deducted from her salary by the shopkeeper of the restaurant because she did not catch up with the time.

Although the shopkeeper really didn't seem to like his own appearance.

Xu Chunhua stood under the eaves and watched the downpour, thinking about many things there.

Think about it, if you are the shopkeeper, your own employees are in a daze every day, you will definitely not like it.

Xu Chunhua looked down at the corners of her skirt again, although she had already run under the eaves very quickly when the rainstorm came, but it was still a lot wet, and the corners of her skirt were very depressed, dripping with water, and flowing down her calves into her shoes.

Xu Chunhua sighed, and looked up at the lively sound of rain outside the eaves.

Let's hope you don't catch a cold.

If you catch a cold, then you really have to take leave and deduct money.

Xu Chunhua couldn't remember whether it was April or May.

I always feel like I can't wake up these days, and it's a bit muddy.

Xu Chunhua didn't think about why.

People have to go through a lot of these moments.

The small-town girl just gets through these days without saying a word.

Isn't it better to use it?

Xu Chunhua leaned against the wall, carrying her skirt and kicking her legs.

I think it's too miserable.

There were many people in the long street who did not have umbrellas, so they hurriedly ran to find a place to hide from the rain, and there were many more passers-by under the eaves of the street.

There are also vendors selling snacks, women holding children, and idlers walking dogs.

When Xu Chunhua was watching quietly there, she suddenly heard someone sighing, she turned her head and found that it was the shopkeeper of the store.

After all, so many people are blocked under the eaves, which will naturally delay business.

It's just that with such a heavy rain, it's naturally not good to drive everyone away.

So I sighed helplessly.

Xu Chunhua silently shrank into the corner, although it was useless.

The entire long street began to fill with moisture.

Just like what Chen He said at the beginning, it is like some ethereal clouds.

Xu Chunhua raised her head and looked up, but unfortunately she couldn't see the capital city on the top floor.

That day, they looked at the clouds and felt ethereal.

It's just that Xu Chunhua, who is standing under Yunchuan today, feels very crowded.

Not only under the eaves, but also in the long streets, although many people are hiding, but the arc of those umbrellas has made those long streets even narrower.

The long street in Huaidu is naturally not narrow, and it is very spacious, much more spacious than the town where Xu Chunhua grew up.

So a lot of things are probably relative.

Xu Chunhua was thinking about a lot of things under the eaves, waiting for the rainstorm to end, but suddenly saw a person holding an umbrella in the long street.

During the rainstorm, of course, there are many people holding umbrellas, but there are probably not many people holding umbrellas and carrying two swords.

Xu Chunhua subconsciously thought of those sword cultivators who were still on the inclined platform.

They didn't fight, they didn't leave, they just stayed there quietly.

Things in the cultivation world seem to be really strange things to the world.

When Xu Chunhua came back to her senses, the black umbrella had disappeared into the umbrella stream.

In the countless glimpses of life, you will actually meet many people.

Xu Chunhua thought like this, of course some people want to walk over and never see each other again.

Hope is natural. Therefore, the wind does not end, and the rain does not end. Whoever is this, heaven and earth. Heaven and earth can't last long, but what about people?

Xu Chunhua didn't know why she suddenly remembered something in Qingniu's five thousand words.

Of course, her attention is only on that sentence, which cannot be long, and the situation is not human.

So the torrential rain that rose up in heaven and earth, like some encounters, came and went in a hurry.

The rain gradually decreased, although it was still dripping, but at least it was no longer the same as before, when the whole acacia was poured like a steamer that had just been put off the stove.

There were many people still waiting under the eaves, but Xu Chunhua was carrying her skirt and hurriedly walked towards the rain.

After all, when people are free, they always think about a lot of things.

Xu Chunhua has already thought of the five thousand words of Qingniu, who knows what will come to mind later?

So when the rain was a little lighter, the girl from the town crashed into the rain as if she had no hesitation.

Although it may be already May, the rain in June is cold, so naturally it goes without saying May.

When the rain that was not fierce hit Xu Chunhua, it still brought some chill, Xu Chunhua shivered subconsciously, so she regretted it a little.

It's just that she has already run in, and it is probably a shame to turn back, and the small town girl has to run all the way to the restaurant.

But such a small-town girl had not yet gone far before she had crossed a street, and when she stepped on the steps leading to a certain height, the rain on her head seemed to suddenly stop.

Xu Chunhua raised her head, only to find that she didn't know when there was an extra umbrella on her head.

This small town girl's eyes suddenly had a very depressed and faint light.

It's just that when she turned her head, the light in her eyes slowly dimmed, and she whispered thank you.

That's not some Taoist.

It's not someone who smells like sizzling tofu.

It's a very young and clean scholar-like person.

The stranger scholar's umbrella was not big, and the hand holding the umbrella was not strong, and his sleeve hung down with the rain, revealing the scholar's somewhat white arms.

The two of them can't keep a sense of proportion, and put their bodies under this umbrella well.

Each of them still had half of their shoulders drenched in the rain.

Xu Chunhua looked at it silently for a while, and was about to say that he was about to arrive, but the scholar suddenly stuffed the umbrella in his hand into Xu Chunhua's hand, and then said with a soft smile: "I have arrived, you can take this umbrella." ”

Before Xu Chunhua could open his mouth to say anything, the scholar left from under the umbrella very quickly, and then ran in into the rain curtain, standing under the eaves of an inn on the side of the street and waving to Xu Chunhua.

Xu Chunhua stood there and hesitated for a moment, then looked at the umbrella in her hand and asked, "What about this umbrella?" ”

The scholar smiled and said, "You can come here and give it back to me if you have time, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back." ”

Xu Chunhua hesitated for a moment, then looked up and remembered the name of the inn, said hello, and then turned around and ran quickly towards the restaurant.

......

When the night fell to the world, Xu Chunhua, who had been busy all day, finally left the restaurant, and then took the umbrella and walked in the night of Huaidu.

Huaidu is naturally changing.

So even if Xu Chunhua went back the same way, she probably couldn't find the location of such an inn, but this small town girl had already made such preparations, and she had written down the name of the inn before, so that she was looking around in Huaidu, where the rain had stopped for a long time.

It's just that such an inn is indeed unfamiliar to Xu Chunhua, this town girl has been looking for a long time, but she has not found the location of such an inn, seeing that the night is getting deeper and deeper, Xu Chunhua had to temporarily give up the idea of returning the umbrella, and returned to the alley with the umbrella.

It's just that when the small town girl returned to the alley, she was also startled, and then silently hugged the umbrella in her arms.

At the end of the alley, a figure with an umbrella was standing there, tilting his head to look at the long street outside the alley.

Xu Chunhua stood in the alley, and for a while she didn't know whether to continue walking forward.

The figure holding the umbrella was not tall, and the lights outside the alley illuminated something, such as the young side face of the figure under the umbrella, and the two swords behind him.

It took Xu Chunhua a long time before she remembered the young man she had glimpsed when she was hiding from the rain under the eaves today.

In fact, there are many things that can be seen at that time.

For example, the young man was very shocked by such a world, and in those shocks, there were also many blanks that he couldn't find the north.

Xu Chunhua clutched the umbrella in her hand tightly, looked at it very nervously, and then carefully leaned against the wall and walked towards the courtyard in the alley.

The girl from the small town didn't know why the boy with the umbrella suddenly appeared here, and she didn't know what he was coming for, so she was wary after all.

After all, Xu Chunhua is from the north, and there are many sword sects in the south, but not in the north.

If it weren't for the fact that Huaidu suddenly came to many sword cultivators not long ago, Xu Chunhua probably hadn't seen a few sword cultivators so far.

The small town girl was very nervous and moved her steps.

The boy didn't seem to notice the faint footsteps behind him.

Xu Chunhua's heart gradually settled down.

Maybe he just didn't find his way for a while, and stopped here for a while.

The town girl thought so, and then stopped in front of the courtyard, took out the key, and began to open the door.

It's just that at this time, the young man's voice came from the other side of the alley very calmly.

"Do you know a man named Chen He?"

Xu Chunhua was taken aback, and opened the lock in her hand in a panic, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't open it.

The girl from the small town turned her head to look over there, and saw that the boy had turned around and was walking towards this side in the night.

Xu Chunhua's hands kept shaking, and finally aimed at the keyhole, and then clicked, opened the door, slammed the door and ran in, and then plugged the door bolt in the door, and stood there nervously holding the umbrella in his hand.

The footsteps outside the door seemed to pause for a moment, and then continued in this direction, and finally stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

Xu Chunhua took a few steps back, grabbed the umbrella in her hand, thought about it and threw it away, picked up a stick in the yard with her backhand, held it in her hand, and looked at the door very uneasily.

It's just that the young sword cultivator didn't seem to have the idea of breaking in, just stood at the door and asked again.

"Do you know a man named Chen He?"

Xu Chunhua hesitated for a moment, and then said tremblingly: "No..... No. ”

The young man seemed a little helpless, and whispered at the door: "I am friends with him, you don't have to be so nervous." ”

Xu Chunhua naturally wouldn't believe such nonsense, but she was very vigilant and held the stick there, ready to give the young man who broke in the door a blow to the head.

It took a long time for Xu Chunhua to hear that some footsteps seemed to be fading away in the alley outside.

The small town girl waited there vigilantly with a stick in her hand, and when she was about to open the door to take a look, she thought about it, gave up again, and then ran to the courtyard wall - the courtyard wall of the small courtyard was not very high, so when Chen He left, he left the key directly at the wall.

Xu Chunhua stepped on a certain courtyard stone by the wall, and then poked her head out in shock, the alley was very quiet, and occasionally the light from the outside fell into the alley, shining a moment of light, and slowly moved away with the operation of Huaidu.

The figure of the boy had disappeared into the alley, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Xu Chunhua climbed the wall and watched for a long time, and then gradually relaxed, but there was a faint idea in her heart that the young man would suddenly appear behind her.

But luckily, nothing like this happened.

I heard that although their sword cultivation runs fast, no matter how fast they are, there will be traces after all.

It seems that there is a kind of speed in the world without a trace?

What witchcraft in the South?

That small town in the north was far away from where the Sword Sect was located, and naturally it was even farther away from the Witch Ghost God Sect.

So maybe I've heard a little bit of everything, but not much.

......

It was probably because of today's mess that Xu Chunhua didn't sleep very well that night.

When I woke up the next day, I still felt very tired.

When I went out, I picked up the stick first, carefully opened the door and poked my head out, glanced at it several times, and then walked out with an umbrella.

There is no rain today.

The alleys during the day, even in the early morning, are not very different from the people outside.

It's just a little old.

Xu Chunhua actually didn't quite understand why Huaidu, a magnificent and ever-changing capital in the world, still has many such alleys.

It's as if someone's sword is shiny, but the hilt is worn out and covered with rust.

The small-town girl had always suspected that these alleys might hold a lot of big secrets.

For example, this is a legacy of the previous dynasty.

Doesn't it mean that Emperor Li Asan of Huai'an rose between the end of the micro, and he was once just an idle shopkeeper in Huaidu?

Could it be that he had lived here before?

So Kamigawa left them behind?

Xu Chunhua remembered that she had actually told Chen He such a question before.

It's a pity that although Chen He likes to read all kinds of biographies and writes some things randomly, he still hasn't figured out why there are still some such dilapidated alleys in Huaidu.

Xu Chunhua thought about it, and then remembered that she seemed to have seen the messy things written by Chen He himself, and it seemed that there was a young man with two swords on his back?

It seems that he does hold an umbrella, and it is said that if you put down the umbrella, you can summon some handsome sword lights.

Could it be that the young man last night was really Chen He's friend?

Xu Chunhua was suddenly stunned when she thought of this.

When Xu Chunhua was thinking wildly, she suddenly bumped into a person.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Xu Chunhua hurriedly stretched out her hand to support the middle-aged man who was almost bowed down by herself.

The man turned his head and glanced at Xu Chunhua, there was no anger in his expression, he just waved his hand calmly, and then continued to stand at the entrance of the alley, standing in the dividing line between the two meanings, and looked at Huaidu quietly.

It was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, dressed in very ordinary clothes, holding an oil-paper bag in his hand, which contained several large meat buns, and holding one in his hand, eating there, and probably the only thing that would make an impression was that the man had a very calm and reassuring meaning.

Xu Chunhua looked at him carefully for a while, making sure that there was indeed no problem, so she repeatedly said sorry, and then took the umbrella and was about to leave the alley.

It's just that when she was about to walk out, she stopped again, hesitated a little, and looked at this middle-aged man who didn't seem to be an ordinary person and asked the question that had been bothering her.

The man stood there and looked at Xu Chunhua for a long time, then laughed softly and asked her a question.

"Are Huaidu's buns expensive?"

Xu Chunhua sighed and said, "It's very expensive." ”

The man said softly: "Then do you see that there are any leftovers of the buns from those bun stalls on weekdays?" ”

Although Xu Chunhua didn't know why that person suddenly talked about such a thing, she still thought about it seriously and said, "No." ”

The man calmly looked at the bustling and beautiful world outside the alley, and said lightly: "Yes, in a place like Huaidu, no matter how expensive things are, naturally there are always people who can afford them." ”

The man said, looked down at the bun in his hand, and said softly, "But what if you throw the bun into the ditch?" ”

Xu Chunhua was silent for a while, and said slowly: "No matter how cheap it is, no one will buy it." ”

The man smiled, naturally he didn't really throw the buns in his hand into the gutters in the alleys on the side, but just took a bite and said, "These alleys are buns thrown into the gutters, unless you are really hungry, no one will come to eat such things." ”

Xu Chunhua seemed to suddenly understand something, looked at the person and said thank you.

The man just smiled, raised the bun in his hand and asked.

"Would you like one?"

Xu Chunhua nodded very sincerely.

After all, a bun is twenty wen, and it is some that can be saved.

The man handed the bun in his hand to the small-town girl, and then looked at the world and walked into the distance.

Xu Chunhua took the steaming bun in her hand and looked at the middle-aged man very strangely.

"Who's your lord?"

This small town girl used the word adult.

The man glanced back at Xu Chunhua, and then looked at the long streets where Huaidu had quieted down.

Now is the time of the reign of Maochen Heavenly Hell, and Huaidu has just begun to fall silent from those slow changes.

Xu Chunhua didn't know what that person was looking at, and he didn't know who that person was - he didn't answer Xu Chunhua's question, just waved his hand, and walked away in the long street very leisurely.
