By the time Li Si reopened his eyes, it was quiet in the Qianjia Building, and the hall was in a mess.

Zhang Susu was still sitting in the corner in a daze, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried. Probably because she thought that her store was going to be unsafe. She is indeed a very strong woman, even if she cries, she does not cry out loud.

Lao Luo stood at the counter, looked at Li Si quietly for a long time, then put the book in his hand aside, and sighed deeply.

Xiaohe still sat at the table with a pale face, as if he hadn't recovered yet.

Hao Dayou stood in front of the door in the backyard, watched Li Si hesitate for a while, and put away a kitchen knife behind him.

"Ha, haha. Xiao Cao glanced at everyone, stiffly laughed dryly twice, and said, "I'll go get a broom to clean up." ”

With that, she ran to the backyard and got a bamboo broom and swept up the wood chips on the ground.

In the silence of everyone, the strange old man exchanged a look with the half-cut immortal, stood up silently, and walked out of the hall with the puppet in his hand. Before leaving, he also glanced at Li Si, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Li Si lowered his head, he knew that the people he was most sorry for this time were probably these people in the Qianjialou. Not only deceived them, but also involved them in such a thing. He didn't want to implicate them, but things turned out beyond his expectations.

He understands very well that Qianjialou may be just an ordinary restaurant for him, but for Zhang Susu and them, it has a deeper meaning.

When he saw Zhang Susu sitting alone in front of the door because of his bad business, when he saw Lao Luo getting up late at night to make up the bill, when he saw Hao Dayou so busy standing at the kitchen table that he couldn't straighten his waist, and when he saw Xiao Cao Xiaohe getting up early in the morning to sweep the floor, he already understood this.

Half of the immortals said that they were all displaced people at one time. Zhang Susuke died in her family, and at that time, the neighbors were talking behind her back, she once thought about dying directly, and then Qianjialou took her in. Lao Luo's family fell in the middle of the road, ran away for half his life, and now he finally has a place to stay, and only when he stays here, he will occasionally laugh. Xiao Cao is an illegitimate daughter, and Hao Dayou and Ning Caihe are both orphans. The Half Immortal is an old man who has been up and down in the world for hundreds of years.

For them, Qianjialou may have already become a kind of home-like place. And Li Si probably shouldn't have been here in the first place.

Zhang Susu They are not stupid, so many things have happened, they should naturally guess it. Li Si is the Li Si on the rivers and lakes, the thief Li Si.

And all these things are also caused by him.

"I'm sorry. Softly said to everyone, Li Si silently turned around and walked to the backyard, he was ready to clean up and leave here. After all, he's already caused too much trouble here.

······

in the room in the backyard.

Li Si didn't have many things, so he changed into the clothes that still had a hole in them, and simply sorted out a bag, which was considered to be packed.

Just as he was carrying his bag on his shoulder, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

It turned out that Zhang Susu was standing by the door with his hands crossed, and said with a twitch on his nose that was still red.

"You've smashed my shop, and you're going to leave?"

Li Si's body paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly, straightened up, and said slowly.

"Shopkeeper, you also know that I am penniless, otherwise give me credit first, and when I have the money, I will pay it back when I come back?"

"Then how are you going to make money?" Zhang Susu pinched his nose again, leaned against the door, lowered his reddish eyes and asked, "Or steal?"

Li Si was silent for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Who knows?"

Compared with the noisy hall before, the backyard at this time seemed a little quiet, there was no other sound, only the sound of the wind.

It wasn't until the dimly lit room that Zhang Susu spoke again: "Lao He has already told me, saying that you are tired of walking on the rivers and lakes, so you want to stop and rest." So if you don't mind, you can stay here. ”

Hearing this, Li Si was stunned, then turned around with some puzzlement and looked at Zhang Susu in surprise.

"You don't blame me for lying to you?"

"There's something that everyone doesn't have to talk to anyone about. Zhang Susu lowered her head and hugged her arms and said.

"There's something I haven't told you yet. You're a nice person, and everybody likes you. And you do a lot of work, and you get paid less, so it's not easy to find such a guy. Besides, I don't feel at ease to keep the money you stolen, and it's better to pay off the debt during the construction period. ”

After that, Zhang Susu raised his head, glanced at Li Si, pursed his lips and smiled, then lowered his head again, took a breath and said.

"So, if you want to stay, you can stay. ”

In the backyard, Li Si looked at Zhang Susu, and after a long while, he grabbed his hair with a smile and hesitated.

"So, I'll stay a little longer?"

"Hmm. Zhang Susu nodded, answered, and then looked at Li Si's body, pulled his clothes with holes, frowned and whispered.

"Why are the torn clothes still on my body, take them off and give them to me later, and I'll help you mend them." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper. ”

"It's okay, Dayou Xiaocao's clothes are also mended by me, and they are all used to it, so I promise that you can't see it by mending them. ”

······

Two days later, the people in the rivers and lakes had basically left Mingzhou City, and this small turmoil was finally over.

Xiao Muqiu woke up earlier than Dugu because his injuries were relatively light, and under the supervision of Banjuxian, he compensated a sum of money for repairing the restaurant, and then left with Dugu, who was still in a coma.

When leaving, he wrote down the name Qianjialou, because when he came, he really didn't expect that Banjuan Immortal was actually here.

Li Si changed out of her skirt and put on a man's dress again. In order not to be recognized by the original guests, he also asked the half-cut immortal to draw a scar on his face, which looked really fierce.

Now, the identity of Li Si's sister has also set off a lot of waves in the rivers and lakes, so it's better not to let "her" appear in Mingzhou City again, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Although there are two girls missing, because of a legendary experience, the business of Qianjialou has increased instead of decreasing. Almost every day, people come and go, and from time to time guests will discuss which set of tables and chairs is which Jianghu person once sitted. In particular, the big hole that Dugu no longer crashed out of is often visited by guests.

Life seems to have become normal again, but Li Si likes this kind of blandness very much. During the day, he was busy and busy, chatting with Xiao Cao Xiaohe at night, chatting with Da Youxian and gossiping, or playing a game of Go with Lao Luo, so he was quite comfortable and his heart was also steady. It won't be like on the rivers and lakes, there is always a feeling of landing.

In the middle of the winter night, the wind blowing into the hall was a little colder. Hao Dayou prepared a table of meals, and Zhang Susu beckoned everyone to go to dinner.

Li Si stood by the door, touched the patched hole in the clothes on his chest, smiled silently, then turned around and walked over.
