Chapter 22: Living Alone

- Inside the inn

Siwan just got up and stretched: "Ah Chen, what time is it now?" Well? Ah Chen? "There was no answer for a long time." Oh, so he's not with me. Harm, I was really drunk yesterday, and I started talking nonsense. Ha ha. ”

Looking at the bare walls on all sides, the former pillow people didn't know what to do, and patted his head that was still aching: "Oh, really, I knew that my head would hurt so much today, I didn't drink so much wine yesterday, Ah Chen doesn't know where to go now, and I don't have anyone to press my head." ”

But think about it another way, it's good to live here, it's really like living alone, you can sleep when you want, go shopping whenever you want, do whatever you want, and be quite free: "Forget it, life, you have to live it." Let's get by, let it be. ”

Walking to the window and looking at the street market outside, the stall vendors had already come out to set up their stalls, and the pedestrians came and went, and the children with happy smiles on their faces ran all over the street, and couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of life is so good." ”

The eyes saw a stall selling flowers, looking at the varieties of flowers from afar, which should be usually easy to raise, and looked at the empty room: "Anyway, this is my own room now, or, ask the proprietress if she is willing to buy some flowers to decorate?" ”

Just do it, Siwan walked to the account desk, looked at the proprietress who was sleeping on the chair, was embarrassed to disturb her sleep, knocked on the table, and the proprietress who was sitting on the chair and taking a breath immediately stood up: "Huh? Guest, what's wrong? Is there anything I can help with? ”

"Ah, no, it's nothing, I just want to come and ask the proprietress if I can buy some flowers to decorate the room, if in the future, if I don't raise it well, the flowers won't fall into the room when they die, I'll deal with it myself, do you think I can do it?" Siwan asked her in a good voice.

"Oh. It turns out that it's because of this.,Well, well.,Of course.,The girl came to our store and spent so much money.,If I don't let you do something.,I'm actually quite embarrassed.,Girl.,Do whatever you want.,As long as you don't burn down my store.,I won't ask too much about anything.。 The proprietress said.

"The proprietress is serious, but, the money you just mentioned? Excuse me, how much did I spend in your store yesterday? Siwan asked the proprietress with some confusion.

"Huh? No, no, no, I'm not talking about the money you paid, but about the handsome young man who came to me yesterday with you, who is quite good, and said that he would place you here first, and paid the rent, but he was just a little generous, girl, don't be amazed. As for how much money there was, he said I can't tell you. The hostess explained.

"Oh, well, then I won't be too hard for you." Siwan said, "Then I'll go out, boss." ”

"Well, stay safe on the road."

"How much money is there that will make the proprietress not tell me? What are you doing with all this money? Is there something significant? Siwan thought as she walked.

I walked to the side of the flower stall, picked out a few beautiful pots of flowers, walked to the boss, and looked closely, only to find that it was a child.

"Huh? Why is there a child here? What about her parents? There are no people around who look like two people. He can't be the stall owner's child, right? How can this parent leave his child behind? What if I lose it? Hey, let's ask her first. Siwan thought.

"Hmm...... Kid, what are you doing here? Why are you here alone? What about your father and your mother? Siwan squatted down and asked her softly.

"Daddy's gone to do something, mother...... Mother ......" the child stopped halfway through speaking.

"What's wrong with your mother? Where did she go? Siwan said.

"I haven't seen my mother since I was born, I ...... My dad picked it up on the road. The little girl said with no expression on her face.

"I didn't mean to mention it, I just wanted to ask, whose stall is it? Is it your father's stall? Siwan asked her embarrassedly.

The little girl said: "It's okay, sister, you don't have to apologize to me, anyway, I'm used to it, this stall is my father's, he said that the rivers and lakes have been quite calm recently, and there is almost no reward order, which means that those of us who walk the rivers and lakes have to earn some side money to make ends meet." That's why we're here to sell flowers. ”

"Huh? It's so hard for you. Then I'm buying some flowers. Siwan said in surprise.

"No, sister, my father said that you can't waste limited resources on a whim, this will only backfire. Besides, if you can help us for a while, you can't help us all the time, right? The little girl said with a firm look in her eyes: "So, sister, don't force yourself, buy flowers according to the amount you need, okay?" ”

Siwan touched her head and hugged her: "Okay." ”

"Big sister, thank you, this is the first time I've been held, it's like being held by my mother." The little girl said in a milky voice.

"If you're really my daughter, then I don't want you to be so sensible, otherwise it's easy for others to bully, you know?" Siwan whispered in her ear.

"Sensible and bullying are two different things, the person who bullies you does not bully you because you are sensible, that is his original nature, and the sensible person will not completely avoid the bullying of bad people because of his sensibility. The world is inherently unfair, so this will also make people's subconscious distort the essence of things. The little girl said.

"Haha, you look like you're only five or six years old, how can you talk like a little adult?" Siwan was amused by her.

The little girl mused, "What child, do you say me?" Hmph, the gods have lived for more than 5,000 years. I'm not a giant baby. ”

The little girl smiled: "Hehe, that's because we are all from the rivers and lakes, and there are some things that we know earlier, and there is no harm to us, so he told me everything he knows." Also, I have to warn you, the rivers and lakes are sinister, don't you have to be more careful? ”

"Okay, okay, I see, thank you." Siwan took the flowers: "These are very good-looking, can I give you an ingot?" ”

"Huh? No, no, sister, it's too much. I can't take so much, it's not easy for you to make money, you can't waste it so much. The little girl said as she stuffed the ingots into Siwan's hand.

"Haha, if you knew who I am, you wouldn't say that." Siwan said.

"That's another thing, I'll take the money that should be collected, it's not still my money, I won't ask for a penny." The little girl said.

"The little girl is quite upright, then, I'll give you the money I should give you, okay?" Siwan said with a smile and handed the money to her.

"Okay, thank you, sister." The little girl said: "The rivers and lakes follow fate, and there is fate to see you again." ”

"You can really say that little mouth. Okay, see you soon. Siwan patted her head, waved her hand, and walked in the direction of the inn.

What she didn't know was that the moment she turned around, the original flower stall had already turned into a pile of clay pots, as if everything that had just happened had never happened, and the people who came and went were all doing their own work.

When she was going upstairs, Siwan accidentally bumped into a person, thinking: "It's over, it's not good that the people in this area are dead, if I hit him, will he hit me?" So he quickly apologized to that person again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, you didn't hurt anything?" Are you alright? ”

The man was wearing a hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure was somewhat familiar, and for a while, he couldn't remember who it was. He didn't speak, just nodded, turned and left.

"Huh? Why does this person feel so strange? Didn't even hit me? Is it so good-tempered? Siwan stood there and muttered.

The proprietress behind him said: "Looking at what he said just now, it doesn't look like a person from Nanzhao Kingdom, it should be a foreigner." ”

"Huh? Lady, why are you here? Shouldn't it be waiting for the guest officer to pay the gold in front of the account desk? Siwan said hello to the boss.

"Ao, just now this person asked for a room, I wanted to give him a luxury suite to make a lot of money, but I didn't think about it, he directly asked for the room of the third household on the second floor, I thought about it, it seems to be your room, so, I told him that someone lives in it. He was quite a strange person, he took a bag of gold bars, and said that he could add money, and I said that it was not a matter of adding money, and then he said if he could take him upstairs to see the room, and I thought he gave me all the gold bars, so I took him upstairs to have a look. The proprietress said.

"Huh? That...... Boss, he doesn't have anything to do with me, does he? Siwan unconsciously had a sense of vigilance.

"Ah, that's not true, don't worry, he just came into your room to take a look, I just kept looking at him, and didn't make any strange moves." The proprietress comforted Siwan.

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Then, boss, you are busy, I won't bother you. Siwan thanked the proprietress for that.

After arriving at the room, Siwan locked the door: "Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, before Xie Chen comes to meet me, I have to stay here and can't transfer my residence, otherwise, he won't be able to find me." Siwan thought, "So, before he comes to meet me, I must keep myself safe." No, he worries about me. ”

Siwan turned around and placed the flower pots on the windowsill, let them breathe in the air, bask in the sun, and water them, and kept busy until the evening.

"Is it going to be night so soon? It feels like time flies. Siwan thought.

Looking at the sunset outside the window, the sunset next to it is like a golden satin inlaid in the blue sky, the fiery red sunset, the golden afterglow, is the best curtain call of this day.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, but it was not like a knock with a hand, but rather a knock with some tool instead of a hand.

"Who?" Siwan also heard that this was not the sound of people knocking on the door with their hands. So he tiptoed and cautiously walked to the door step by step, lying on the door and listening to the movement outside.

"It's me. Girl, it's time for you to have dinner, I've brought it to you, please eat. The proprietress voice came from outside the door: "I use both hands, I can't open the door, can you open it?" ”

As soon as Siwan heard that it was the proprietress who turned out to be the proprietress, she gradually relaxed her vigilance: "Ao, it turned out to be the proprietress instead." Then I will wait at the door for a while, and I'll open the door for you when I'm done first. ”

Siwan opened the door that she had finally locked: "Boss, you won't be so busy in the future, I'm a big living person, and I'm not without hands and legs, I can go down to eat, and I have enough money, I won't rely on credit, you don't have to run up every day to send it." ”

"Oh, that's not good, the young man who came back with you yesterday told me again and again that you must make sure that your diet is healthy, and that I will come to bring you food in the future to make sure that no one is poisoned in the dishes. Girl, you can let me send it later. Otherwise, if I don't do anything after I take the money, I won't feel at ease. The proprietress said to Siwan.

"Huh? That...... Did he tell you when he would come back? Siwan asked her.

"He didn't specify the time to me, but just said in general terms, when he has done everything, he will come back to pick you up, so that you don't get angry, don't worry, wait here for him to pick you up." The proprietress leaned into her ear again and said, "But I think it will take a long time for him to say this, girl, don't be stupid enough to wait for him for the rest of your life." ”

"Huh? Oh, don't worry, hostess, he won't keep me waiting long. Siwan patted her chest and said.

"I hope so. Good luck. The proprietress put down her dinner: "Girl, I put the food here, you must remember to eat." ”

"Okay, I see, goodbye lady." Siwan waved at her.

Siwan walked to the window, blowing the evening breeze, and looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside: "You say, what is he doing?" How much does it have to be for me to do this on my own? Wouldn't it be dangerous if it didn't work? Oh, how can Ah Chen be like this? I've been a husband and wife for more than two years, is there anything that can't be faced by two people? Besides, isn't there more power when two people are together? If he has any injuries, can't I still be there for him to take care of him? ”

"Hmm...... It's been a strange few days, my lifeline isn't unusual, and it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, does this mean that I have completely changed my fate? Isn't it waiting for him to settle things out, and then I can go back to Xie Mansion with him, and we will be together forever? ”

"God bless, I beg Ah Chen to come back to pick me up safely. We'll be together forever. ”
