"How long are you going to rub it off? If you don't lift your ass up and put it in the saddle, you won't be able to do it tonight!"

This old and young man are Zhang Xuexuan and Tang Zhongsong.

The two of them have been from Dingxi Wangcheng for more than half a month, and they have not yet arrived at Bogulou.

I don't know how these two people walked, didn't they tie up the horses' hooves?

Even the three-inch golden lotus of the old woman should have arrived, shouldn't it?

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!"

Matsumoto was about to lift his buttocks, but he sat down firmly.

"It's as if I got up and left now, and I could get to Bogu Tower when it got dark!"

Tang Zhongsong said.

There were even a few hints of crying in his voice, but Zhang Xuezhu didn't expect it.

"You...... Is this serious?"

Zhang Xuezhi asked.

"Yes! Seriously, Lao Tzu, I will spit on a nail when I speak, and I will never leave if I don't go!"

Tang Zhongsong said.

Instantly, he leaned back, lay down, and his body was arranged in a big character.

"Do you know where this is?"

Zhang asked;

"I don't know, it's not Bogulou anyway. As for where the hell is this, what is my business?"

Tang Zhongsong said.

He only felt a restless resentment in his heart, which made him just want to be angry.

"This place is called Jingping Town, and I've already told you about it before. ”

Zhang Xuezhu said slowly.

But Tang Zhongsong didn't have the slightest reaction after hearing it, and still lay on his back facing the sky.

"This is Jingping Town!"

Zhang Xuezhu raised his voice and said.

"I hear it, I'm not deaf!"

Tang Zhongsong propped himself on the ground with his elbows, raised his head impatiently and said a word, and then lay down again.

Zhang Xuezhi was a little strange.

He found out that Tang Zhongsong really didn't know what this Jingping Town meant, but it made him feel incredible.

"You don't know Jingping Town?"

Zhang Xuezhi asked.

"I know Cuiping, Liuping, Yiping. ”

Tang Zhongsong said.

"What's that?"

Now it's Zhang Xuexue's turn.

"A famous prostitute in the capital of Dingzhou. ”

Tang Zhongsong said.

"As soon as this Jingping Town passed, it entered the Leyouyuan, and it was considered the boundary of Bogulou from the beginning of the Leyouyuan. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

"I never cared about things that were far away from me. If you ask me how many alleys there are in the city of Dingzhou, how many paths and how many dead ends, how many steps to the end of the dead road, and how many steps and turns the road takes, I remember it clearly. ”

Tang Zhongsong said.

"How big is this Jingping Town?"

Tang Zhongsong then asked.

"It's small, and if you whip it three times, you can definitely run out. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

"How big is that Leyouyuan?"

Tang Zhongsong asked again.

"This ...... It's not too big either. ”

Zhang Xuejiu is indeed a bad analogy, so he can only be so vague.

"Isn't that it? not too big...... Maybe I'm going to sleep in the open at 10 o'clock tonight on the Le You Plain, and then eat the wind and fart......"

Tang Zhongsong said.

"Then what do you say!"

Zhang Xuezhi asked.

"I just want to get a good night's sleep and have a good meal. ”

Tang Zhongsong said.

"Am I not going to let you sleep?"

Zhang asked rhetorically.

"I said get a good night's sleep...... It means taking a comfortable hot bath and then lying on a large bed that is wide and soft. If you can rest your head on your head and your chest, then you can sleep better!"

Tang Zhongsong said.

"Besides, it's full...... Drink some cold water every half of a flatbread, it's good that I didn't choke to death, where do I dare to eat enough?"

Tang Zhongsong complained.

"And what do you want to eat?"

In fact, Zhang Xuexue also felt that the mouth and abdomen were quite bland...... It's just that he has a self-respecting identity, and it's not easy to show it directly.

At this moment, as soon as Tang Zhongsong opened his mouth as a scoundrel, he was also a little tempted.

"I want to eat bird's nest. ”

Tang Zhongsong said.

The wind and sand in the north of the Saibei are not enough to discipline 100,000 people, but bird's nest is hard to find. Not to mention in such a small place as Jingping Town, even in Dingxi Wangcheng, there are only three or four stalls that can get bird's nest, and I don't know if it's true or not.

"Bird's Nest...... I haven't eaten it in a long time. ”

Zhang Xuezhu remembered the feeling of the bird's nest being full of gelatin, smooth and sticky in his mouth one by one, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"How do you like to eat?"

Zhang Xuezhi asked.

He sat cross-legged on the floor.

If ordinary people want to sit on the spot, they have to squat down first, and then support the ground with backwards to sit down.

And Zhang Xue's right leg didn't move like a stake, and then his left leg crossed over, and the instep was close to the knee, just squatting straight down.

When squatting to the maximum limit, gently lift the toe of the right foot, so that the body has a slight suspension.

Taking advantage of this gap, the right leg is crossed again, and he sits down steadily.

"Me...... Likes to add a little honey. I love sweetness!"

Tang Zhongsong said.

"Hey......

Zhang Xueji couldn't help but laugh a few times.

"How. Northwest men can't eat sweets?"

Tang Zhongsong propped himself on the ground with his left elbow and tilted his head and said.

"No, no, no...... Whoever said that a man has to chew iron and swallow steel, whether sweet or not is not what you eat, but what you think. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

"Then I think it's beautiful! But if you don't do it at all, can you be called a man?"

Tang Zhongsong said disdainfully.

"One will do what one thinks. It is said that impulsive people write poems recklessly and do not use their brains, in fact, even if he is a reckless man, he uses his brains. It's just that the way he thinks about problems and decides things is different from others. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

He was a little thirsty and wanted to find something to drink, so he couldn't help but start looking around.

"Bird's nest with honey, can you eat that thing directly? Don't you break your intestines? We use it here to order tofu......

A person from Jingping Town, who was passing by, heard the conversation between the two and interjected.

Zhang Xuexuan and Tang Zhongsong were immediately stunned when they heard this.

This bird's nest is the most soft and slippery, how can it break the intestines?

Besides, where does this bit of tofu come from?

Zhang Xuezhu and Tang Zhongsong are also people who can go to the banquet and attend the banquet.

But this bird's nest and tofu have never heard of a word......

If you want to talk about this strange tofu, they have also eaten a lot.

There is a kind of "tofu" called bird brain.

It was specially ordered by Zhang Xuezhu to be made by a celebrity chef at his apprentice's wedding banquet that year.

If you want to talk about the taste of this dish, it is delicious and smooth.

In the world, the same delicious, smooth and chewy dishes are as complicated as cow's hair, but what dish takes months of chef's work?

It starts with the hatching and continues until the chicks break the shell.

Just three days before it was about to ripen, the brains of a hundred birds were taken out, the blood was removed, and they were shrunk in ice water to keep them fresh.

Then grind it into a paste, and then put it into the tofu to make a solidified block, which is steamed in a cage drawer, and poured with hot oil from the green onion cooking pot after going abroad.

is more exquisite, but it is necessary to train this group of "dishes on the plate" one by one.

Everything in the world is a bit particular or explained, which is the so-called superstition......

In this meal, the so-called emphasis is on what you eat.

It seems that this is the least superstitious superstition.

No matter who it is, when you break your muscles and bones, you have to drink a few days of bone broth, and when you have sex, you have to get something to eat, of course, it's best to eat a big worm.

Therefore, if this bird is too stupid and stupid, will people be obsessed with eating its brains?

"Excuse me...... Where can I eat bird's nest tofu?"

Zhang Xuezhi asked.

"North. There are inns and taverns, and you can stay in the hotel. ”

The man said.

"What about the south? What's up to the south?"

Tang Zhongsong asked.

I never thought that the man was like seeing a ghost, and waved his hand again and again and said, "There is nothing in the south, nothing!"

Then he ran away with a puff of smoke.

Tang Zhongsong looked at Zhang Xuexuan, wanting to hear him explain something.

But Zhang Xuejiu also shook his head and did not speak.

What they didn't know was that this conversation had happened almost exactly the same two days ago.

The protagonist is also a person in this Jingping Town.

On the other hand, he is also an acquaintance of Tang Zhongsong and Zhang Xueyu - Liu Ruiying.

Yukamatsu shrugged.

In his position, he couldn't shrug his shoulders at all.

Because as soon as the shoulder twitches slightly, the elbow supporting his body will change position, and then the center of gravity will be unstable and he will fall immediately.

Sure enough...... Tang Zhongsong really fell to the ground sideways.

He would rather fall than shrug his shoulders.

It's the same as when he used to prefer to lie down in the ground and eat potatoes and roast beef.

But now he has changed.

The others are the same as Zhang Xuexuan.

I want to go to the north and try the so-called "bird's nest and tofu". ”

Zhang Xuexue stood up and dusted the dust behind his buttocks.

In fact, the ground in Jingping Town is extremely clean and tidy.

Especially not long ago, it was washed by the gushing well water.

In addition, it is very windy here, and there is really no dust gathered.

He seems to be just a habit.

But this series of actions made him envious when he looked at Zaoyu Zhongsong's eyes......

The old man stood up in the same way as he crouched, his legs open as he stood straight.

Wait until one leg is completely straightened, but the other leg will also land on the ground, and the score is exactly right!

Tang Zhongsong could feel that Zhang Xuejiu did not use a little bit of strength in this Shun'er's kung fu.

How wonderful is this muscle control?

Readers just have to hold their breath when they pick up a pen and write, so that their wrists and palms do not shake.

But Zhang Xuejiu was talking and laughing, doing all this lightly, the whole body and legs were like two pieces of iron that were mortise and tenon together, always upright and clean.

Tang Zhongsong sighed slightly......

But in his heart, he thought a little higher of Zhang Xuexue.

Although he already thinks highly of him, he can always break his cognition again in this inadvertent little thing.

Tang Zhongsong looked back at the south and took a look, he was also very curious about what was there, but it made the people in this town so taboo.

But after thinking about it, I still feel that the first thing at the moment is to fill my stomach.

Whether it's bird's nest or tofu, as long as you don't have to gnaw on that serious illness anymore, there is no problem even if you eat horse manure bibimbap.

Many times inexplicably, there will be more people or places of interest.

This interest may simply be a desire to understand.

But if this craving can be maintained, it will become a habit.

This habit is often called liking.

Likes gradually accumulate and become a cliché but eternal word, love.

Every meeting and parting is not accidental.

Many times what seems to happen naturally is actually foreshadowing in the past.

Ou Xiao'e grew up in the Ou family, and in such a long time, she naturally has a love for smelting. That's why when I heard that there was a blacksmith shop in the south, I couldn't help myself, and I had to go and see what was going on.

If it weren't for this event, nothing would have happened.

The deer obviously can't meet it, and it is impossible to apprentice.

The Icicle Man can't be touched, and it won't cause a bloody battle.

You can't enter the ancestral hall, and you can't see the fanged ghost face.

Another cause and effect seems to be reasonable and sudden, but it is all because of Ou Xiao'e's eyes.

Now, Tang Zhongsong also glanced to the south.

But his desire wasn't big enough.

This desire is just a desire.

It's far from being liked, let alone loved.

So he just took a look, and didn't go to see what was going on.

Although the blacksmith shop was empty at this time, the ancestral hall of the "potential" was still there, and he couldn't say what kind of situation it would be, but he just missed it.

Even between people, this is probably not the case......

Many times what you think is a love affair is likely to be a pretend gesture by the other party.

The fact that you feel that you have a good heart may be the necessary result of the other party buying off your ten friends.

Every exchange may be a manuscript that has already been written on paper.

At the beginning, it may be deliberately so, hoping to increase the goodwill and make the relationship warm up faster.

But after a long time, I forgot how to be natural.

Because this deliberateness has become a habit.

I know you like fish, but I'm going to order the sweet and sour tenderloin.

Because I know you prefer the way I scramble when I find myself forgetting things.

I know you only like the snacks of Hongzhangtang, and I love to eat too.

But every time I talk about buying snacks, I still have a different opinion.

Because I know you like to see me give in.

It's addictive.

After a long time, you will be confused or even forget what you are doing, and you will not even know what the purpose of what you are doing is here.

As a result, all this is simply to please each other and suppress oneself to obtain a sense of accomplishment satisfaction.

Tang Zhongsong obviously wanted to go to the south to see, but the real emotion in his heart was actually not much different from love.

But his perennial environment and identity have made him take this kind of suppression and annihilation of himself as a necessary habit.

No matter when and where, one's own impulses on a whim are to be erased.

Because you can never let others see the most essential and honest self, you must always show what you want to show after being carved.

Whether it's a gentleman or an iron will.

It's all the lines he deliberately sketched.

Although Tang Zhongsong looks very lonely, Park Zhenghong will always be the only one by his side.

But in fact, his heart, like every young man, is rich in romance.

Sometimes it's plain and natural, sometimes it's turbulent.

It's just that no matter what kind of mood he is in at the moment, as long as he talks about it, he will definitely burst into tears in an instant.

This point, even the best actor in Zhongdu City, I am afraid it is difficult to compare.

He knew very well the hypocrisy of these tears, but if he could use them to cover his sincere tears after three glasses of wine, then why not?

The same was true of the original Zhang Xuezhu, but since he came out of the altar, the camouflage on these shells has been slowly peeled off layer by layer.

He could see these little tricks of Tang Zhongsong at a glance, but he didn't break it.

On the contrary, Zhang Xuejiu was very distressed.

Because he understands the meaning of doing so and the hardships it entails.

Only by experiencing the same things can we truly understand each other, otherwise it will only be out of sympathetic kindness......

Everything can be deceived, and all things can be crafted.

But only this hunger is certa......in!

The two came to the north side where Liu Ruiying missed one after another.

There is only one inn and one canteen.

The inn does not sell food, and there is no accommodation in the canteen.

Before he entered the door, Tang Zhongsong smelled a sour fragrance, which instantly woke up his long-dormant taste buds and stomach.

"What does it smell like?"

Tang Zhongsong asked.

"Like vinegar ......"

Zhang Xuejiu said.

"No, much richer than vinegar. ”

Tang Zhongsong said.

"That's right, the vinegar isn't that thick. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

"It's heavy but refreshing, and it's not complicated at all. ”

Tang Zhongsong said.

"It's refreshing, but it's a little unstoppable...... It smells so haunting!"

Zhang Xuezhi said.

They followed the smell and walked back along a path next to the dining hall.

A middle-aged man was stirring in a black cast-iron cauldron with a shovel.

There was also a wooden barrel by the stove.

From time to time, he scooped out a scoop of yellowish liquid from it and poured it into the pot.

The sour smell came out of this pot.

"Asking for food?"

When the man saw the two of them, he wiped a handful of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and then shook it.

The soup was relieved to see a few drops fall into the pot......

"To ...... Eat!"

A remote town, there are not many rules to pay attention to.

Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, and ask for nothing.

There is no city nodding at all, and the little second brother who comes and goes like the wind respectfully calls you a guest officer.

"Whatever you want to eat, you usually do it. Expensive, no. ”

The man said.

In order to find an apprentice, Zhang Xuezhi has seen everything in the north and south.

Some shops rely on that trick to keep them alive.

And some shops, like this, are called eating all over the world.

I don't even have a menu, I can do whatever I want, and I can eat it when I do it.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhang Xuezhu pointed to the big iron pot and asked.

"Tofu...... Bird's nest tofu. ”

The man said.

Tang Zhongsong saw that there were some strange things soaked in the wooden barrel, and took a closer look.

"Where's the bird's nest?"

He asked.

The man pointed to the barrel and said no more.

Only then did Tang Zhongsong see that there were several complete 'bird's nests' soaked in the wooden barrel.

It's just that this bird's nest is not another bird's nest.

It is a real house bird's nest in front of the hall, a bird's nest built with wheat straw branches, rags, strips of cloth, etc.

"Can this be eaten?"

Carbon asked.

"I didn't force you to eat it. ”

The man replied angrily.

"Sitting in front, it will be half an hour younger!"

The man said.

The two of them couldn't help it, and it seemed that he was the only cook in the back hall, so they had to obediently go back to the front and wait.

————————

Liu Ruiying recognized the corpse on the ground.

In fact, no one will fail to recognize it.

This characteristic is so obvious that even if you just pass him once, you can still remember it firmly.

The black and white uniform is all wrapped around the exposed skin with this black and white bandage.

It's just that the black and white hat on the head and the black and white tulle hanging down have become two halves with the head.

Two to six, five blessings.

Now the rest of the four people are bent three, square four, knife five, and flower six.

The dead are not divided into two parts, who else can be?

Two points of the first of the five blessings, such a tragic death by the Four Seasons Unfrozen River, one of the ten wonders of Bogulou.

This is already a big event that moves the world.

"What does Liu Xingqi think about this?"

Divitai asked.

The voice is calm.

As if the dead man had nothing to do with him.

Liu Ruiying couldn't even find a trace of loss in his eyes when he saw him.

It was as if the dead were not human at all, but an apple that had fallen from a tree when it was ripe and fell to pieces.

But even when the broken fruit is seen, it will show some attitude.

Either disgusting or regretful.

But no one will be so calm.

There is only one such possibility, and that is that he already knows the whole cause and effect.

Therefore, Liu Ruiying did not speak.

He waited for the next step from Divitte.

Wait for what he really wants to say, not this polite politeness.

"Next to the corpse, a sword was found. ”

Divitte said, pointing to the ground.

"The sword of wine and a half. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

This made Di Weitai slant his eyes slightly.

Liu Ruiying didn't see the sword, but Liu Ruiying insisted that it was a sword with three halves of wine.

Why is he so sure?

Even Ou Xiao'e didn't know.

"That's right, it's the sword of the wine three halves. ”

Divi ordered someone to bring a fragment of the sword with three halves of wine.

The light blue crystal, one by one in the brocade box, looks very good in the not too strong sunlight.

There is a slight blood stain on the fragments.

The sparkle is mixed with a little enchantment and treachery.

"Indeed, it was his sword. ”

Ou Xiao'e said.

"He's probably missing. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

Although it is an interrogative sentence, it is in an affirmative tone.

It was precisely because of this that I sent someone to invite Liu Xingqi to come and analyze a countermeasure. ”

Divi said.

He nodded slightly, as if he was apologizing for disturbing Liu Ruiying and Xiao Jinkan in such a hurry.

"The landlord doesn't have to be much, if necessary, he will serve himself. ”

Liu Ruiying clasped his fists and saluted.

"It's the people you brought who killed my eldest brother!

Hua Liu pointed at Liu Ruiying and said.

That fingertip, as long as it hasn't moved an inch forward, can touch Liu Ruiying's nose.

But Liu Ruiying didn't even blink her face, and then said without humility or arrogance:

"I said, if there is a need, you should do it. ”

"Presumptuous! Liu Xingqi represents the Investigation Division, and the Investigation Division is comforted by the world, and it is fair and fair! How can you be allowed to open your mouth here! You still don't retreat!"

Divi said.

Although he still seems to be silent, he uses strength in his words, and he is actually a very clever sonic skill!

Suddenly, two streams of blood flowed out of Hua Liu's ear canal......

Seeing the two singing and harmonizing like this, covering their red faces and white faces, Liu Ruiying also sneered in her heart.

Di Weitai really shot ruthlessly...... The corpses of the two points here were still in front of their eyes, and they used the righteousness of the Investigation Division to coerce themselves and hurt Hua Liu. ”

Liu Ruiying thought in her heart.

"But it was a sword injury. ”

Liu Ruiying squatted down and carefully probed the two-point wound and said.

He saw the bare parts on either side of the skull, mixed with a lot of slag from the three-and-a-half long sword.

The blue color is especially noticeable in the wound.

"The evidence is conclusive, how do you want to ......"

But it was the third bend who had never spoken, and finally spoke.

"There has to be a motive for killing, and I don't think there is any motive for killing. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

This time, everyone fell silent......

If the motive is also Lu Mingming or Liu Ruiying's motive is greater, but this wine is no different from the one that pops out of the crack in the stone, how could it instantly form such a big grudge with the two points?

Liu Ruiying saw that in another brocade box, there were also black chess pieces piled up into a hill, which was indeed a sign that there had been a battle.

The top priority is to quickly find the three and a half of the wine to know what happened last night!
