This sound even more confusing, and the faces of the other people at the next table are followed by a trace of melancholy, with respect and regret, which is very complicated.

This scene made Liang Xiaodao even more curious, a palm-sized mountain city seemed to be hiding some great secret.

"Who is this Mr. Liu?"

He asked aloud.

The rain in the alley was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the rain hitting the brick walls was a bit harsh and noisy.

The old shopkeeper's daughter got up from the ground and ran into the house, closing the windows on all sides, and at the same time went to the shed, stretching it out a little wider so that the rain would not hit the diners.

Only then did Li Xiu find that the little girl's appearance was thin and thin, and her skin was a little dark, looking as delicate as a small sapling, but she was very strong.

Even if it was very laborious to prop up the soft shed, she didn't ask for help, maybe this scene seemed a little weak and pitiful to outsiders, but she has always been like this all these years, the old tavern's livelihood is not bad, she can make some money every month, the old shopkeeper's body has gradually become worse over the years, and the future livelihood is destined to be handed over to her.

After making some money and marrying a man with a good family background, this is her future life.

As is the case with most people, there are always things that cannot be avoided and must be done.

For the vast majority of people in this world, the so-called growth is to learn to compromise, to find the best way in the stumbling again and again, that road may not be the most suitable for you, but it must be the most suitable for you in the eyes of others, growth is nothing more than to become what you should be in the eyes of others.

This is the so-called ordinary life.

This wine is very good and very good for conversation.

Maybe it's because there hasn't been a new face in this Bashan City for a long time, and there hasn't been a son-in-law like Li Xiu and Liang Xiaodao, who look like they are from the power of the big family.

Several diners at the adjacent table opened the conversation box, talking to each other about the incident of the year, with an impassioned tone and an angry expression, and finally turned into helplessness, so they could only sit on the table and chair, holding wine glasses and crying out helplessly.

Their talk is only a few small fragments, like a fragmented story, with no beginning and end, only the occasional two sentences are more and more appetizing.

The rain outside the window gradually stopped, and the seven or eight men pushed the cup and changed the lamp and kept sighing for Mr. Liu back then.

Li Xiu drank by himself, and listened quietly from beginning to end.

Liang Xiaodao was itching in his heart, and couldn't help but want to know the reason for this matter, and opened his mouth to inquire carefully, but found that those guests were already lying on the table.

Half in the bag.

No matter how soft the wine is, no matter how old the brew is, it can't avoid the drunkenness that comes to my heart.

This matter has been heard one, two, three, four, without a beginning or an end.

Liang Xiaodao sighed, took out a gold leaf from his arms and put it on the table, got up and prepared to leave.

The little girl ran over with a money box in her hand, planning to find the rest of the money for them, Liang Xiaodao waved his hand, and said that's it, and was about to turn around but saw Li Xiu still sitting in his seat, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Li Xiu picked up the gold leaf and put it in the little girl's money box, and asked softly, "Then Mr. Liu is still in this Bashan City?"

The little girl is a person who is not good at words, but you must learn to deal with people when running a restaurant, not to mention that Li Xiu's face is so good-looking, she lowered her head slightly, and two red flowers surged on her slightly dark face.

She nodded.

Li Xiu asked again, "Where does he live, can you tell me?"

The little girl raised her head, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, a little hesitant.

"Can't tell?"

The little girl shook her head and explained: "Everyone knows where Mr. Liu lives, but he rarely meets outsiders, and I heard my father say that the people who have met Mr. Liu in the past 23 years can be counted on one hand. ”

Bashan is a prison, and Mr. Liu is a prisoner.

"However, there is an opportunity now, a few days ago there was a son from Runan, and that son would come to see Mr. Liu every three years, and in the past twenty-three years, the son himself has four fingers in one hand. ”

Xu is Li Xiu's face is too good-looking, and his momentum is too dusty, which makes it rare for the little girl to say a few more words.

"Runan's son?"

Li Xiu remembered the marker on the map, Runan was originally one of the forty-six first-class forces he was going to.

That was the Ye family's territory.

"That boy has also come to drink, and although he is not as good-looking as you, his clothes are gorgeous. ”

Liang Xiaodao blinked.

Li Xiu got up and asked, "Where is he?"

The rain in the alley has completely stopped, only the eaves on both sides are still dripping, and the alley after the rain has some earthy smell, but it seems very fresh, mixed with the smell of old wine, smelling unique and unforgettable.

The little girl poked her head out of the shack, pointed to the alley beside it, and said, "That boy lives in the innermost room of that alley these days. ”

"Thank you, girl. ”

Li Xiu nodded at her, turned around to leave, and then paused and glanced at Liang Xiaodao.

Liang Xiaodao spread his hands, took out another gold leaf from his arms, and put it in the little girl's money box.

"I'm very happy today, this wine is very good, and I paid their account together. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiu walked out of the soft shed and turned around and walked towards the alley.

Liang Xiaodao followed behind.

The old alleys of the hutongs are often relatively ordinary and dilapidated, and even the deep alleys of Chang'an City cannot avoid getting old.

But the alley in front of me is too simple, and even the brick walls on both sides have collapsed, which is worthy of the word "alley".

"You seem to be quite interested in this Mr. Liu. ”

Liang Xiaodao looked around and spoke.

Li Xiu thought for a while and said, "Isn't it a very interesting thing for a person who uses the city as a prison, but can make the people in the city admire and regret?"

It's a really interesting thing.

Liang Xiaodao nodded, obviously he felt the same way.

"It's just that the girl said that this Mr. Liu has been trapped in Bashan City for twenty-three years, and there are only fewer people who have seen him for such a long time, how can you be sure that he can see the two of us?"

This is not Datang, neither he nor Li Xiu has any prestige.

Does such a mysterious person meet two strangers who have never known each other in their lives?

Apparently not, even if that face is really good-looking.

But Mr. Liu is not a little girl either.

"He won't see you and me, but he'll meet the man. ”

Li Xiu's footsteps stopped, and the two of them stood in the deepest part of the alley, in front of a somewhat dilapidated courtyard gate, the courtyard gate did not close, but opened a gap about two people wide, revealing the figures in the courtyard.

A young man dressed in brocade was standing in the courtyard, carrying a drawer of steamed buns and two jars of good wine, and was about to go out.

Li Xiu stretched out his hand and pointed at him.

Liang Xiaodao looked up.

The young man in brocade paused.
