In the wine shop next to the drunken flower building in the north of the city, the guy was a little remorseful, and at this moment he was standing at the gate of the wine shop, watching Chen Ge'er, the official of the county government, walk all the way through the main street and walk diagonally to the opposite side.

Maybe he was used to this errand, and no matter how he stood, the guy at the wine shop felt as if he was always humble, half-hunched.

He stared at the back that was gradually moving away and was a little stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, that thin monkey Li Liu, who usually likes to take advantage of some small advantages and likes to show off his stinky shelves, really died like this?

I only came to drink here yesterday, and if I remember correctly, Li Liu has not paid off a lot of credit at the wine shop.

When Chen Wen was questioning at the wine shop before, another official came to the county government, and he was in a hurry.

Brother Chen's expression was a little wrong when he saw the servant from a distance, and it was an indescribable feeling. It's like some kind of uncertain fact, you have already imagined the worst outcome in your heart, but once what happens really coincides with what you think, even if you are mentally prepared at the moment, it will still give people a sour feeling of loss, just when someone drops a drop of lemon on your heart, you don't dare to touch it.

When the official came to Brother Chen'er's side, he brought a wine gourd, and the two of them just whispered a few words, and the guy stood aside and listened to it really, but he also knew that most of the big things were not good.

He recognized the wine gourd, and Li Liu used it yesterday to sell wine from his family's wine shop, and the shopkeeper said that it was Brother Chen's wine gourd.

Chen Wen's eyes were lonely, and after the servant left, he went to the Yang family pharmacy on the opposite side alone, saying that he wanted to investigate the movements of the hunchbacked man, and did not forget to tell him before leaving, he must pay more attention to it in the recent days, and once he found that the hunchbacked man appeared, he would report it in time.

The guy stood at the door of the liquor store in a trance, not sure if he was dreaming, he reached out and slapped himself, his voice was crisp.

It hurts, it really hurts.

The drinkers in the house turned their heads when they heard the sound, only to see that the guy was standing at the door of the wine shop with his red cheeks and grinning, this scene directly made everyone present inexplicable, the guy noticed that something was wrong and came back to his senses, and saw that everyone in the house was watching, his face was red and his ears were red, he nodded frequently, and said in his mouth: "Mosquito, mosquito..."

Chen Wen seemed to hear the movement behind him, turned his head and looked back, but saw nothing.

The gate on the other side of the liquor store was empty.

Inside the wine shop, the shopkeeper opened a page of account books at the counter, shook his head lightly after looking at it for a while, reached out and tore it off, and threw it out of the window.

Passing through the middle straight road at the north gate of the city, he walked forward about twenty steps, and came to the pharmacy next to the drunken flower building, Chen Wen looked up at the plaque of the pharmacy, and after confirming that it was correct, he raised his feet and stepped over the threshold and walked in.

The shop was deserted and there was no business, and in the entire lobby, a young man with clear eyebrows was weighing medicinal herbs at the front desk.

The young man muttered something in his mouth, and his eyes looked at the table from time to time, and it turned out that he was grabbing the medicine in front of the prescription.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door of the shop, someone should have come, the young man on the other side of the counter had his ears moving imperceptibly, he didn't look up, he was still busy with his own business.

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, and the young man frowned slightly.

While carefully comparing the amount of medicinal materials, he took a pen and circled the prescription, and seemed to be a little impatient and said: "Grab the medicine and take the prescription, leave without illness or disaster, and it is easy to make taboos when you stay in the pharmacy." ”

There was the sound of teacups hitting the table at the other end of the room, and a familiar voice sounded, with a joke, "Shuisheng, this is what you learned from Old Man Yang?"

The young man who was busy was slightly stunned, stopped his movements and couldn't believe it, he looked up and saw a soap-clad servant sitting next to the tea table of the pharmacy, looking at him with a smile.

The young man was overjoyed, quickly threw down the hat in his hand, walked around the counter and sat down beside the man.

Before the man could speak, the young man was very skillful in refilling a cup of tea for the visitor, and looked at him with a look of hope on his face, "Brother Chen, what are the good things to see this time? Tell me how long you haven't been here." ”

Before the young man spoke, he did not forget to pour himself a cup of tea.

Chen Wen took a sip from the teacup, the familiar taste, he hadn't been here for a long time since that incident.

The old tea is new, and it will taste different every time you come, but compared to the previous state of mind, this time the tea tastes much more bitter.

"You haven't told me yet, where did you hear that?"

The young man rolled his eyes, looked around, and made sure that there were no other outsiders in the room, then patted his chest and said triumphantly: "This is what I heard from others, it is the truth that I recently realized from the book, how is it, amazing!"

Chen Wen stretched out a thumbs up and said in admiration: "Amazing, if you let the old man Yang of your family know, how to praise you, I am afraid that the blue is better than the blue, right? ”

The young man originally intended to tease, but he never thought that Brother Chen on the other side was not more particular than himself, and after this messy praise, the young man's heart plummeted, and he was like a deflated ball in an instant.

He drooped his head and said with some grievances: "Brother Chen, don't say it, Lao Yang will only let me memorize medical books all day long, and when I go out, I am afraid that I will be lazy, so I threw a few prescriptions for me to match, saying that I will check when I come back, and I can't make any mistakes in the slightest weight, I'm not just to be able to complete the task quickly, you can't tell Lao Yang about this, otherwise I will be scolded again." ”

The young man may really feel that he has been greatly wronged, and still babble: "Brother Chen, you don't know, I have been miserable during this time, but you don't come much, and no one tells me some stories." ”

Speaking of this, the young man glanced at Chen Wen, and said in a mysterious voice: "Brother Chen, you really won't be like a girl, you want to die or live for that woman, right?"

The young man raised his eyebrows and raised his chin in the direction of the drunken flower building outside the house.

Chen Wen couldn't cry or laugh a little, what did he do?

Although he made a name for himself in the north of the city because of last year's ridiculous incident, it doesn't mean that you, a little ghost, can use it as a reason to ridicule yourself.

Chen Wen knocked a chestnut on the young man's head, "What do you know, stinky boy, you can talk nonsense." ”

The young man in the pharmacy named Shui Sheng held his head and was a little displeased, "Brother Chen, I care about you, Lao Yang said, 'Heart disease still needs heart medicine', you can't take a few medicines for lovesickness, I'm not worried about you!"

The young man's voice became smaller and quieter as he went, and Chen Wen, who was on the other side of the table, was drinking stuffy tea alone, his eyes were a little dazed.

Shui Sheng was a little puzzled, isn't Brother Chen'er lovesick to the advanced stage? Lao Yang didn't prepare a prescription for treating lovesickness for himself before going out, what if Brother Chen got sick?

Chen Wen glanced at the young man next to him, a little envious.

It is said that the youth is carefree, and the innocent childhood is the most beautiful. The little boy and the little girl hold hands and step on the grass, kick the shuttlecock, release the paper kite, ride the bamboo horse, and fold the plum.

Know each other and enjoy each other, childhood sweethearts. I have never been sad, lonely mountains are far and near, and flowing water and flowers have fallen.

And those old men who have passed thousands of sails can only sit alone on the bench in the courtyard at certain moments, watching the birds chase each other and the sunset in the sky.

Chen Wen wanted to laugh every time he thought of this, he stretched out his hand and patted the young man's head again, and said: "Shuisheng, Brother Chen told you, if you meet the girl you like in the future, you can't learn from Brother Chen, before you understand the girl's mind, you must not shout loudly, you must know that the reputation of the daughter's family is more important than life, and it can't be easily said, just like what you just said about Brother Chen, you can only say it in front of Brother Chen, think about it, is this the truth?"

The boy thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. Remembering another thing, he nodded, and said mysteriously: "It must be, Brother Chen, have you learned all these big truths from that skinny leper monkey?"

Chen Wen was a little puzzled, "What kind of leper monkey?"

"It's the skinny monkey who used to be by your side and liked to pay for the wine on credit. The young man was afraid that Brother Chen in front of him would not remember, so he deliberately stretched out his hand and gestured up and down, "It's the thin one who is watching the gate in the east of the city." ”

Chen Wen sat up straight and looked at the young man and said, "Oh, you said him, I remember, his name is Li Liu, how can you think so?

"That's not it, but...."The young man smiled, "But I told Brother Chen, you can't tell Lao Yang, otherwise he will scold me for being lazy again, and next time he will have to give me a set time even in the last thatched house." ”

Chen Wen and the young man glanced at each other, tacitly acknowledging each other.

The young man said, "Yesterday when I went to the toilet in the back hall, I saw that Li Liu in the alley next to me, he did exactly the same as Brother Chen, quietly liked the woman, I guess no one in the whole north of the city knows, the reputation of the girl's family must be preserved, I didn't spread the word about it, no one said it." ”

After the young man Shuisheng finished speaking, he looked righteous and swore and said: "Brother Chen, I didn't lie to you this time, I didn't even tell Lao Yang to him."

Chen Wen stretched out a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Well done, what else is there to not?"

The young man grinned, "Nothing else, then the young man in a green shirt came to the alley, and then I heard a woman's cry over there, and then there was no movement, my feet were almost numb at that time, and I was afraid that Lao Yang would be suspicious, so I went back later." ”

Chen Wen looked at the young man with disdain, obviously not very convinced, "The light in the alley is so dark, you can still see a young man in a green shirt when you squat in the pit here?"

The young man was a little anxious, "Originally, I didn't dare to believe it, but that Li Liu has been to the alley several times, and I can recognize his figure at a glance from afar, as for the young man in green shirt, I have seen it before." ”

Chen Wen asked, "Where have you seen it?"

The young man thought he was doubting himself, and hurriedly said: "At the door of the shop, yesterday before three o'clock, the boy in the green shirt looked like a scholar, he was standing at the entrance of the alley next to the shop, I saw his eyes glancing at the drunken flower building, and thought it was a playboy with a thief's heart and no money. So I looked at it a lot at the time, and I was very familiar!"

Chen Wen was secretly frightened, it turned out that there was really him, but he didn't know who that girl was?
