"It's not as good as the Central Plains, there are only some coarse tea, let's make do with two sips!"

In the account room of Fuhe Grain Village, Lao Xu personally made a cup of hot tea for Liu Xunyi.

Although it was three poles in the sun at the moment, the light in this account room was very dim because there were no windows, and there was even a dark and damp musty smell in the air. Lao Xu seemed to notice Liu Xunyi's subconscious small movements of stroking his nose, and explained with a light smile: "This was originally a warehouse, and later changed to an account room, because there is no sunlight all year round, so the taste is a little ...... Hehe......"

"Old Xu, how did you know that I was coming to you?" Liu Xunyi didn't care about this accounting room, and asked with a playful smile, "Then do you know what I came to you for?"

"I don't know. Lao Xu himself held a large tea bowl with a missing corner, sat on a broken stool with mottled paint, and said while shaking his legs, "But I feel that you will come to me, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." It seems that the fate of our two fathers has not yet come to an end. Xiao Liuzi, but what is the difficulty in Huodu? Everyone is coming together, I won't sit idly by, but you also know that Lao Xu still has a big family to raise, so ......" said Lao Xu reached out and took out a money bag that was not too deflated from his arms, threw it to Liu Xunyi, and said, "Don't be too little, take it!"

"This ......"

Liu Xunyi looked at the money bag in his hand and couldn't laugh a little, it turned out that Lao Xu thought he was here to borrow money.

Facing the tired old Xu, Liu Xunyi did not explain, but groped out two bright silver ingots from his body, under the surprised gaze of Lao Xu, Liu Xunyi stuffed the gold ingot into the money bag, and then handed the money bag to Lao Xu, with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Little Yanagiko, you are ......"

"Lao Xu, thank you for taking care of you all the way, this is Xiao Liuzi's filial piety to you. Liu Xunyi couldn't help but stuff the money bag into Lao Xu's hand, and he stared at the confused Lao Xu with a smile.

Lao Xu weighed the weight of the money bag and said with a wry smile: "Little Liuzi, you have only been here for half a day and you have made a fortune? I know that you are different from those coolies outside......

"Lao Xu, the big shopkeeper has arrived at the corner of the street, you hurry up and take the account book to the shop and wait!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from a man in the courtyard. Hearing this, Lao Xu hurriedly agreed, and then smiled at Liu Xunyi: "Little Liuzi, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany me more today, I have to go to ......"

"Old Xu. Liu Xunyi hurriedly interrupted, "I came to you to ask for something, and I will leave after asking, and I won't be able to delay for a while." ”

"What's the matter?" Lao Xu knew that Liu Xunyi had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, he put the money bag on the table, a pair of old eyes flashed with shrewd luster, and said, "Little Liuzi, there is no need to ask for advice between you and me, you can tell me and listen." ”

Liu Xunyi muttered: "When we first entered Huodu at noon yesterday, I accidentally bumped into a few people from the Western Regions, do you remember this?"

Lao Xu frowned, nodded solemnly, and persuaded: "Xiao Liuzi, don't you want to make trouble with them, right? I have already advised you yesterday that it is better to have more things in this place than to have less......

"Huh!" Liu Xunyi shook his head and said, "I know you can understand the Khitan dialect, I want to ask those people from the Western Regions yesterday, what did they say to each other, so they were willing to stop worrying about me, and then leave in a hurry?"

"How do you know that they speak Khitan?" asked Lao Xu without answering.

"I met another Khitan last night, she told me, and those people from the Western Regions scolded me for speaking Khitan at first. Liu Xunyi said and learned a few words like a cat painting a tiger, "looking for death" and "Song dog".

Lao Xu nodded suspiciously, and then asked, "You asked me this, do you want to seek revenge from them?"

"Lao Xu, I listen to what you mean...... It seems that in their conversation yesterday, there was indeed a mention of where they were going. Liu Xunyi listened to the sound and discerned the meaning, and immediately heard the clue from Lao Xu's words.

Lao Xu was stunned for a moment, then a flash of admiration quickly flashed in his eyes, and he nodded: "Xiao Liuzi, you are more powerful than I imagined." ”

"And where did they go?"

Lao Xu shook his head and said, "You tell me why you want to ask these questions first?"

"Because they stole my stuff yesterday. Liu Xunyi deliberately lied, "Just when I bumped into them, they took advantage of the situation to take away the jade pendant on my body, which was a relic left to me by my mother, although it was not worth anything, but it meant a lot to me, and I had to take the jade pendant back." Liu Xunyi's expression was sincere, and his words were conclusive, and ordinary people couldn't detect the truth of these words at all.

"There is such a thing?" Lao Xu also seemed very surprised.

Liu Xunyi nodded and said, "I only found out last night, whether they stole it or not, I have to find it." Lao Xu, I know that you are for my good, and I am afraid that I will hit the stone with an egg and ask for hardship, but that jade pendant is too important to me, so I ......"

Lao Xu sighed lightly and said, "Little Liuzi, although I don't know what you want to do, since you want to know the whereabouts of those people so much, I'll tell you." As for whether you are looking for a jade pendant or revenge, I don't care. In the end, whether you can be safe or not can only depend on your own creation, or that sentence, you have to do it yourself. ”

"Thank you. Liu Xunyi's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

Lao Xu recalled and muttered: "They mentioned yesterday that there seemed to be something important waiting to be done in the 'Luohan Temple', so they didn't have time to entangle with you too much, so they left in a hurry." ”

"Luohan Temple?" Liu Xunyi had never heard of this name, and asked suspiciously, "What kind of place is this?"

"A hundred-year-old temple here, in the west of Huodu City, is said to be dedicated to an iron arhat of unknown origin, hence the name. Old Xu Dao, "But they only mentioned the name of the Luohan Temple, but they didn't say much else, so I don't know if they are still in the Luohan Temple, maybe they just mentioned it casually." ”

"Thank you. Liu Xunyi got the news he wanted, and he didn't plan to stay longer, and after drinking the coarse tea in the cup, he got up and said goodbye to Lao Xu, "You still have to find the big shopkeeper to reconcile, so I won't bother much." ”

"Xiao Liuzi, this matter ......" Lao Xu got up and sent it to the door, and said with an embarrassed wry smile, "What if there is something bad about this matter...... Don't say I told you that. ”

Liu Xunyi said: "Lao Xu, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, I won't betray you, you just have to go back to the Central Plains tomorrow." ”

"That's good!"

Lao Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, plus he had just received two big silver ingots, he was obviously in a very good mood, and took the initiative to send Liu Xunyi all the way to the backyard door.

"Old Xu, how long are you going to make me wait?"

Just as Liu Xunyi and Lao Xu were saying goodbye to each other, a middle-aged man dressed in wealth suddenly came to the front yard, and there were seven or eight followers behind this person.

This person is dressed in ayaluo, wearing gold and silver, hating to wear ten fingers full of jade and gold rings, although the dress is quite vulgar, but the temperament revealed between the eyebrows is quite solemn, thick eyebrows and big eyes are full of seriousness, and the tall and strong body goes to that station, giving people a domineering spirit that is not angry and self-righteous from a distance.

"Big ...... The big shopkeeper ......"

As soon as Lao Xu saw the big shopkeeper, the tiredness on his face suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Xunyi, and trotted all the way towards the courtyard. The big shopkeeper glanced at Liu Xunyi outside the courtyard gate expressionlessly, and then turned around and walked into the account room.

Lao Xu, who has always been steady, nodded and hurriedly followed.

"It's really a brine tofu, one thing drops one thing. Liu Xunyi shook his head and smiled bitterly, muttering to himself that he had left Fuhe Grain Village quickly.

Liu Xunyi thought about it for a while, and expected that Cao Gongzi was imprisoned in the Luohan Temple nine times out of ten, so he decided to explore the Luohan Temple at night tonight, once he could find Cao Gongzi and the group of people from the Western Regions who kidnapped him, he could find out the clues of the frightening wind and rain map.

The worst plan Liu Xunyi made was to repay the report and rescue Cao Gongzi from the people of the Western Regions, and then use Cao Gongzi as a threat to obtain the shocking wind and rain map from Cao Qin.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when Liu Xunyi returned to the Long'an Inn, it was already noon.

The lobby of the inn was full of people, and Ding San never seemed to leave, and even ate lunch after breakfast, still the same table, or that disgusting hippie smile.

As soon as he saw Liu Xunyi, Ding San took the initiative to greet him: "Little brother, come quickly, just now the Dragon King invited a table of wine and food, I haven't moved chopsticks yet, are you interested in enjoying it together?"

"The Dragon King?"

Liu Xunyi has now found a clue, but he is not in a hurry to leave, he simply walked to the table and sat down, looked at the table full of delicacies with interest, and asked with a smile: "The dragon king that Brother Ding said is the master of this Long'an Inn?"

"Exactly. Ding San held a jar of wine, quickly opened the wine seal, and the aroma of wine overflowed in an instant, which was mouth-watering. While pouring wine for Liu Xunyi, he nodded again and again and said with a smile: "The Dragon King is a big dealer, originally I wanted to introduce you to this kind of big man, but it's a pity that it's not the right time for you to come back, the Dragon King just left not long ago." He only comes here once a month, and it's also to collect this month's profits, and it depends on luck if you want to see him next time!"

"Why would he invite you to a banquet?" In the face of Ding San's hospitality, Liu Xunyi was not polite, and asked casually with a wine glass, "Could it be that he also knows you?"

Ding Sanyi seemed very unhappy when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he said in a serious manner: "What's the matter? Brother, I'm so nameless and nameless, and the Dragon King can't know me?"

"Brother Ding misunderstood, I mean, why did the Dragon King invite you to drink for no reason?, did you give him any benefits?" Liu Xunyi said with a smile.

Ding San raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "The Dragon King is a rich man, this table of wine is even worse than a drop in the bucket for him, you think this table is love, but in the eyes of the Dragon King, this table of wine and food is like saying hello to me, there is no difference." After that, he didn't wait for Liu Xunyi to ask again, he pointed to the table full of wine and food with chopsticks, and urged, "Don't ask, if you eat, eat quickly, there are not many good things in the world that eat and drink for nothing, don't waste it if you can meet it." Hey hey ......"

Saying that, Ding San took the initiative to touch a glass of wine with Liu Xunyi, and the two of them drank it all in one go, which was very happy.

"Little brother, where did you go just now?" Ding San asked vaguely as he stuffed the meat dish into his mouth.

"I went out for a walk, and I came to Huodu for the first time, and I wanted to see and see. Liu Xunyi pretended to look careless, replied very casually, and then changed the conversation, raised his glass and smiled, "Brother Ding, thank you for your wine and meat." Come, I salute you!"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Ding San smiled and sent the wine to his stomach, then wiped his mouth, and said, "By the way, why didn't you tell me before, why do you still have such a beautiful little concubine." Hey hey ......"

"What little concubine?" Liu Xunyi was stunned when he heard this, and said suspiciously, "Brother Ding, don't make fun of me!"

"It's the great beauty of the Central Plains I told you about last night. Ding San smiled evilly, "You pretended to be high with me yesterday, saying that you didn't know her, are you afraid that I will rob you, brother?"

"This ......" Liu Xunyi was completely confused, and said in surprise, "I really don't understand what Brother Ding said, what the hell are you ......?"

"Little brother, don't pretend to be confused, other girls are all looking for you by name, do you still want to lift your pants and not recognize people?" Haha......" Ding San smirked and smiled, "How is it? With such a big beauty...... Doesn't it feel good?"

Liu Xunyi looked at Ding San with a frown, looking dazed.

"This morning you left with your front foot, and people came looking for you with your back foot. It's a pity that you weren't there at the time, so you left. Ding Sandao, as he spoke, reached into his arms and groped for something, and said, "Before that big beauty left, she left something for you on the counter, and I asked me to play with it just now." Although it looks very valuable, but brother, I will take your little brother as a New Year's friend, so I won't steal your love token. Hey hey ......"

"Bang!"

Ding San took out something from his arms, threw it on the table casually, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's it, do you dare to say that you don't know her now?"

Confused, Liu Xunyi glanced curiously at the table, wanting to open his mouth to argue. But just this glance made Liu Xunyi's expression suddenly change from doubt to shock, and half of his mouth was suddenly dumb, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

What was placed on the table was a delicate and exquisite golden hairpin, which was the golden hairpin that Bai Shuang gave to Liu Xunyi in the Mandarin Duck Pavilion.

The "Central Plains Beauty" mentioned in Ding San's mouth refers to hoarfrost.
