Chapter 39: Tianzuo Teahouse
At night, black clinging shrouded the sky, and the moon was particularly dim tonight. The mottled stone steps that were supposed to reflect the clear light were also gray.
Tianzuo Teahouse, as a time-honored teahouse in Yuebi City, is recognized and loved by Fengyang people. But it's time to close after dark. The guy cleaned up the teahouse and closed the door when he was ready to check it again.
At this time, a middle-aged man who was a little blessed called out to the guy: "Da'an, don't close today." There will be guests in one place. ”
"Okay, shopkeeper. Then use me to stay tonight?" the guy named Daan nodded and asked as he stopped what he was doing.
"You really have to stay for a while, you are familiar with the teahouse, and you can help with it when the time comes. The shopkeeper nodded and said. This is also the purpose of his opening to stop Da'an.
"The shopkeeper. Da'an nodded, and sat down on the nearest stool.
"I'm tired and suffer a little tonight, and I'll give you an extra penny of silver this month. The shopkeeper Chong Da'an said with a satisfied smile.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. Da An smiled stupidly, for him, he could give him more wages and let him not sleep all night.
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went back, but Daan couldn't leave. Bored, he helped the stool to the door. In the faint moonlight, he looked at the few pedestrians on the street.
Most of these people rushed home, some of them had just gotten drunk, talking and laughing shoulder to shoulder, and some had just finished a day's work before they could take a break from running with Da'an.
He grew up in this neighborhood, and he is somewhat familiar with these passers-by. Although he is almost thirty years old, he has not said anything about his daughter-in-law. Da'an himself is not in a hurry, but his words are terrifying. If you don't talk about your daughter-in-law at such an age, it may mean that Da'an is a failure.
Many neighbors will take Da'an as a negative example. Tell the children of your own family that if you don't study in private school, you will never be able to talk about your daughter-in-law when you grow up, just like Da'an.
Daan sometimes doesn't feel particularly unhappy when he hears it. He doesn't particularly care about other people's opinions, on the contrary, he thinks that being used as a negative example may make the children of the neighborhood read more and have a good future in the future.
When he thought of this Da'an, he became happy, after all, his mother, who had been dead for more than ten years, always told him to do more good deeds and accumulate yin virtues, so that he would be comfortable down there when he died. Maybe this will make the child become productive and accumulate yin virtue. Daan will always comfort himself like this.
No, the little doll of the sixth aunt's family just passed by, glanced at Da'an in disgust, and walked directly around the Tianzuo teahouse.
Da'an just smiled at this, even if his eyes were full of grievances and loneliness, no one would know after all.
"It's good to be able to accumulate yin virtue, so that you and your father can live a good life below. Da'an said to himself, the Tianzuo Tea Hall under the moonlight seemed so out of place with everything around it.
"This is the Tianzuo Teahouse, right?" Just as Da'an was looking at the pedestrians around him stupidly, a voice suddenly asked.
"Yes. Da'an replied and looked at the man.
As soon as Da'an saw the man, he suddenly didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "You are so beautiful." ”
"Don't laugh, I'm a man. "There is no one else who can look like this except Yun Zhuyue.
Yun Zhuyue immediately clarified after seeing Da'an's stupid appearance.
Da An scratched his head, smiled innocently, and said sorry.
"I'm here to find Chu Lao in the teahouse, is Chu Lao here?" Yun Zhuyue didn't care too much about Da'an's misunderstanding, after all, he was used to being misunderstood by others all the time, so he went straight to the point and asked.
"Chu Lao is here, but Chu Lao should be asleep at this time. If you disturb Chu Lao's rest, Chu Lao will be angry. Daan said honestly.
Although he already knew that Yun Zhuyue was a man, he couldn't help but blush when he looked at Yun Zhuyue's face, which was more handsome than a woman. In any case, Yun Zhuyue is the most beautiful person Da'an has ever seen and spoke.
"Then do you know when Chu Lao will wake up?" Yun Zhuyue didn't mean to disturb when he heard that his life-saving benefactor might be resting, and he was ready to wait here until Chu Lao woke up.
"Not necessarily, but Chu Lao doesn't get up until midnight every day. Daan thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay, then can I go into the store and wait? It's getting late now, maybe Chu Lao is about to wake up. Yun Zhuyue saw that it was already late, so he said.
"Yes. Da'an was overjoyed when he heard it. He thought that knowing that Chu Lao was resting, this handsome man would leave without looking back, but he didn't expect that he would stay and wait for Chu Lao, and he would be able to take a few more looks.
Yun Zhuyue got an answer, and went directly into the house and sat down. As soon as he sat down, Da'an also moved a stool and sat beside him.
Yun glanced at Da'an month by month, although he felt that Da'an was a little rude, but he didn't say anything.
Daan and Yun Zhuyue sat quite awkwardly like this, Da'an peeked at Yun Zhuyue from time to time, but he didn't dare to look at it at all.
However, Yun Zhuyue still felt Daan's gaze. Da'an's peeks from time to time made Yun Zhuyue uncomfortable.
"Are you the shopkeeper here?" Yun Zhuyue felt that it was better not to be in this weird and embarrassing atmosphere, so he took the lead in asking.
"No, I'm a buddy. Da'an saw that Yun took the initiative to talk to him month by month, and he was happy in his heart and replied.
"What do you call you?" Yun Zhuyue looked at Da'an, and a silly smile appeared on his face again, and he relaxed a lot for no reason. I even thought in my heart that if Chen Sanxian's smile every day was like Da'an, he might be more comfortable.
"Just call me Da'an. Da An scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"My name is Yun Zhuyue. Yun Zhuyue also told Da'an his name.
Although he and Da'an are strangers who won't see each other again after separation, Yun Zhuyue enjoys the comfort when chatting with Da'an.
"The clouds are moon-by-month, and that's a nice name. Da'an couldn't help but think that the person was so beautiful, but he didn't expect the name to be as beautiful as a woman.
"Da'an, tell me what kind of person Chu Lao is?" After exchanging names with Da'an, the two seemed to be familiar with each other, and Yun Zhuyue naturally inquired about Chu Lao's news.
"Old Chu rarely goes out or comes forward. I only know that Chu Lao is the lucky star of our Tianzuo Tea Hall. Da'an echoed for a moment and began to say, "Tianzuo Teahouse was not here before, and then our shopkeeper was betrayed by his partner and mortgaged the former Tianzuo Teahouse to Tianxia Qianzhuang. ”
"This was the famous murder site on this street. As long as you do business here, you will definitely lose money. Our shopkeeper also took a fancy to the low rent of this place, so he rented it here, planning to make a comeback. ”
"I've been working here with the shopkeeper, and at first I didn't have any business at all, and no one came to me every day. Later, I was embarrassed to ask our shopkeeper for wages. Then it should have been two years ago, when Chu Lao came, I don't know what I talked about with the shopkeeper, and then the shopkeeper drove all the guys except me away. That is, after that day, the business of the teahouse got better and better. ”
Da'an recalled all the things before, and suddenly felt that he was also a person with experiences and stories.
It seems that Chu Lao is really a master of the world. After listening to Da'an's description, Yun Zhuyue couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"But Chu Lao also has something weird. Da'an seemed to be in order to talk to Yun Zhuyue more, so he racked his brains to think about everything about Chu Lao.
"Strange place, what place?" Yun Zhuyue suddenly came to his senses when he heard Da'an's words. may be able to infer Chu Lao's identity from Chu Lao's strange place. Yun thought of it month by month.
Seeing that Yun was attracted by his words month by month, Daan suddenly had a sense of accomplishment.
He deliberately cleared his throat and said in what he thought was the gentlest and most beautiful voice: "Chu Lao never goes out during the day and sleeps all the time, and only at night when it is completely dark Chu Lao will wake up." ”
"Didn't you tell me about this at the beginning?" Yun Zhuyue immediately remembered that Da'an had told him about this before.
"Also...... And ......" Da'an saw that Yun Zhuyue was not interested, and immediately spoke. But he suddenly found that in fact, Chu Lao didn't have anything strange except for this accident. Because he had never seen Chu Lao, he had only heard about it in the shopkeeper's mouth.
Before Yun Zhuyue could speak, the voice of the old man in the inner room came out: "You are here, come in." ”
"Thank you seniors, juniors bother. As soon as Yun Zhuyue heard the voice of the master who saved him that day, he immediately stood up and said respectfully.
After saying that, he walked to the back room.
Da'an, who was still sitting, looked at the figure of Yun Zhuyue leaving, and his eyes were a little lost, but he also knew that Yun Zhuyue's appearance and conversation were destined to be not at the same level as himself. Although they can't meet again in the future, this doesn't prevent Da'an from imprinting the appearance of Yun Zhuyue deeply in his mind.
After entering the back room, Yun Zhuyue didn't see Chu Lao's appearance. But he wasn't surprised, because there were many hermit masters who didn't want outsiders to disturb their cultivation, so they would avoid it.
"Thanks to the seniors for their rescue, the juniors have nothing to repay, and they have no strength now. When the juniors recover, they will definitely thank the seniors. Yun Zhuyue said respectfully.
"It's okay, the reason why I called you over is because I think you and I are destined, if you have anything that can't be solved in Yuebi City, you can come to me. Old Chu's voice echoed in the empty inner room.
"Thank you, seniors. Yun Zhuyue was overjoyed when he heard this, the most difficult thing for him to guarantee now was his own safety, and now with a big master like Chu Lao, he would undoubtedly be able to let go of his hands and feet better.
"If it's okay, you can stay at the Tensa Tea Hall. If there's anything going on, go and talk to Da'an outside the house. I have some things to take care of first. Chu Lao said.
"Thank you, seniors. Yun thanked him again month by month, but there was no response. It seems that Chu Lao should have left Yun Zhuyue and thought so in his heart.
