Feng Shuzhu glanced at Yi Dingjia, who had put down the dishes and chopsticks, and thought for a while before saying lightly: "Let's wait for this shopkeeper, after all, we used someone else's things, so it's better to talk about it in person." ”

When Yi Dingjia heard this, he wiped his mouth and nodded in response: "The old man also thinks that what Feng Shaoxia said is very reasonable, the so-called eating of others is a short mouth." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, he rolled his eyes, and said to Yi Dingjia with a smile: "Senior, uncle, since you know how to eat other people's short mouths, what about it...... Isn't it that you're the last one to finish eating and have to clean up the dishes and chopsticks?"

When Yi Dingjia heard this, he blinked a few times, but he was powerless to refute, so he had to act as a heroic Qianyun magnanimity, simply stood up, and said loudly: "Okay, what Miss Chu said is very right, the old man is the last to eat, and he should clean up the dishes and chopsticks as a matter of course!" After speaking, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and he really regretted that he shouldn't have lost many words.

This time, Feng Shuzhu didn't speak, but just smiled with Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu.

Yi Dingjia stood stunned for a while, and saw that no one excused him, so he had to move his body a little reluctantly and began to slowly clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Chu Qing smiled when she saw "hee-hee", and saw Yi Dingjia get up and go to the back kitchen with dishes and chopsticks, only then did he turn his head, pull Feng Shuzhu and go to the table near the window to sit down.

Granny Duan also smiled slightly when she saw the two of them coming, Shui Lingyue heard that someone was coming, turned her head and glanced at the two, but did not speak, but turned her gaze out the window again.

Yi Dingjia turned back from the kitchen and saw that several people had left the table where they were eating, he was stunned at first, but he didn't say anything, and then walked to the table, took the dishes and chopsticks, and was just about to take a step.

Xiao Jiu, who was standing on the side, looked at it, thought for a while, and said, "Senior, why don't I help you." ”

Yi Dingjia stopped his steps when he heard the sound, turned to look at Xiao Jiu, rolled his eyes, but said with a smile: "I won't bother you for such a trivial matter." ”

Xiao Jiu saw that his words were so humble, so he wanted to speak again, and he heard Yi Dingjia say again: "It's better like this, the old man has cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, you go to the kitchen to wash it." ”

Xiao Jiu was stunned when he heard this, stared at Yi Dingjia for a while, then turned his head to look at Chu Qing and the others, only to see Chu Qing rolling his eyes at him and pursing his lips, as if he was mocking himself for being nosy.

After a while, seeing that Xiao Jiu didn't move, Yi Dingjia said again: "What, this thing is difficult to do? Although the old man is old, these little things are still done. When you were as young as you, these jobs were all done in a hurry, and you never bothered your elders. ”

Xiao Jiu is not good at words, and he is kind, how can he hear such words, his face turned red, and he lowered his head and walked into the kitchen silently.

After Yi Dingjia and Xiao Jiu cleaned up and turned around from the kitchen, Xiao Jiu also pulled a chair and sat next to Chu Qing.

Yi Dingjia found a table in the corner, sat down on his own, and after a while, he took a nap.

The little chubby bear bag had already crawled over, and sat down next to the orange cat girl, squinting and sleeping.

At this time, the sun is westerly, the sunset in the forest shines in the evening, and the shadows of the trees shake with the wind, shining on the window, which is quite a quiet and elegant atmosphere.

Chu Qing looked out the window casually, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Feng, I'm afraid that this shopkeeper has gone out, and I don't know where he went?" ”

Feng Shuzhu turned his head and said, "What does my mother-in-law think?"

Granny Duan smiled: "We don't care, we can go or wait." It's just that now, the shopkeeper doesn't know when he will be back. ”

Feng Shuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Then, why don't we hurry as soon as possible, if possible, we can also rush to Yuhe Fort in front and stay at the inn." As he spoke, he got up and looked at Yi Dingjia, but saw that he had already fallen asleep on the table.

Feng Shuzhu was just about to get up, when he heard Chu Qing say, "It's raining." When I turned my head, there was already the sound of rain outside the window, and it rained without warning.

In the late autumn season, the autumn rain in the mountains is cool, and the chill hits.

Chu Qing glanced at the door of the store and said, "It's better to close the door." As he spoke, he walked over, put the door with both hands, turned around and just took a step back, the door was blown to the ground, and there was a big gust of wind! Carrying the rain, frantically sweeping the doors and windows, "whooshing" sounded, and a few trees with thin stems outside shook in the wind and rain, and the vision gradually became hazy.

Chu Qing was more energetic than the door, the door bolt was broken, and it was blown when he turned around twice, and the rain also blew in, wetting the ground.

Chu Qing became stubborn, moved a table, and pressed the door against it. Turned around, quite a sense of accomplishment,

Yi Dingjia walked over from the corner at some point and looked out the window. "The rain master is a guest, I don't know the good luck. ”

At this time, the rain outside gradually became heavier. There was a noise on the roof.

The door was also blown and shaken, and Chu Qing saw that one table couldn't hold it, so he took another one, put the first table down, and put the second table down

On the first table, the door leaf is re-stabilized.

The little chubby bear bag is also courteous, with his fat body against the table,

Xiao Jiu also came over to help.

Chu Qing inadvertently noticed that some strange ink patterns appeared on the bottom of the table wet by the rain.

Squatted down, looked at it, and couldn't see the reason, and asked Xiao Jiu to take a look, and the little fat bear bag was also squeezed to see.

Xiao Jiu looked at it for a long time, and he also shook his head, one by one, like the water waves of a painting.

Chu Qing thought about it, turned around and brought a bowl of tea, called Xiao Jiu and the little fat bear bag to dodge, and splashed it under the table, and after a while, some ink patterns appeared.

Such a movement had already alarmed Feng Shuzhu and the others, except for Shui Lingyue, who also came over.

Feng Shuzhu leaned over and looked at it for a long time, and said, "This, it seems to be a map." ”

Chu Qing couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this: "Map?"

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "This seems to be a record of a certain peak." ”

Chu Qing looked in the direction of Feng Shuzhu's finger, as if it was indeed a painted peak, but couldn't help but wonder: "Who would draw the map under the table? Or in such a wine shop? ”

Yi Dingjia leaned over, looked at it, his eyes suddenly widened, and said excitedly: "This, this is indeed a map." As he spoke, he parted the crowd and put his face up, almost touching the table.

When everyone saw this, they all got out of the way so that they could take a closer look.

Yi Dingjia stretched out his fingers, looked along the lines, and after a while, he turned his head and said excitedly: "This, this is actually a map in the desert of the Western Regions, if the old man guessed correctly, it should point to the heavenly hell." He spoke in a very excited voice, but after saying it, everyone around him, including Feng Shuzhu, was also moved.

Feng Shuzhu looked at Yi Dingjia, then turned his gaze to the map on the table, and said suspiciously: "Who actually drew the map of the Western Desert under the table." ”

Yi Dingjia said excitedly: "I don't know who it is, but what these two tables record is not complete. ”

There was a loud "boom", rolling thunder passed through the roof, shaking the doors and windows "gurgling", Yi Dingjia's voice was muffled, but everyone understood the meaning and turned their eyes to the other tables.

Listening to Chu Qing said: "It's not simple, let's do it, put down the other tables, and put them together." ”

Feng Shuzhu glanced at everyone and nodded, "That's the best." ”

Everyone began to walk over, turned over the tables, and placed them in the hall one by one, Shui Lingyue also got up from the chair and walked over slowly.

Feng Shuzhu and Xiao Jiu found a few more oil lamps and lit them, and the store suddenly became much brighter.

Chu Qing moved down the blocked door and the two tables, and stacked more than a dozen chairs at the door with Xiao Jiu before he could hold the door again. Standing with the crowd around the tables that had been turned over,

The wind came in through the cracks in the doors and windows, and the oil lamps were swaying, and the fiery red lights were reflected on everyone's faces, waiting quietly for something magical to happen.

Xiao Jiu found a basin from the back kitchen, filled it with water, found a brush, squatted down, and carefully brushed the table one by one.

In less than a pillar of incense, all the maps under the desktop were brushed out, and anyone could see what kind of grand geographical environment it was recorded. Dunes, woods, peaks, lakes, river channels are recorded on it...... A fragment of the desert of the Western Regions is displayed. If you count carefully, there are seven maps, no more, no less.

After looking at it for a long time, Feng Shuzhu looked at Yi Dingjia again and said, "There are seven maps here, but how to put together a complete map." ”

Yi Dingjia stared at the maps on the ground and said: "It's not a secret, what is recorded on this map is far farther and broader than what the old man walked back then, such a complete map, it is simply impossible for people to draw it, and it is impossible for anyone to have the ability to walk through such a large area." ”

Feng Shuzhu said: "Then can the seniors try to put them together?"

Yi Dingjia paused, nodded vigorously and said, "Old, you can only try it from memory." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a table and said, "This map should be the entrance to the desert." And motioned to carry it over.

Chu Qing glanced at it and said, "Since it is a map of the Western Regions Desert, we should use paper to draw it and then stitch it together." Isn't it hard to carry the table around like this? Besides, I saw that the maps were soaked in water, and they were blurred for a while. ”

When Yi Dingjia heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Miss Chu is reasonable. He cast an approving glance as he spoke.

Chu Qing looked around and said, "How can I find a pen and paper here?"

Yi Dingjia smiled and said, "Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, for the old man, it is a magic weapon to carry with him," he turned around and walked over, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the chain he carried, picked up the oil lamp and put it beside him, and began to draw silently.

Feng Shuzhu thought about it, walked to the back of the paint cabinet, searched for a long time, and finally found the paper and pen used to keep accounts in the store, flipped through it, but didn't see any handwriting.

Xiao Jiu saw it, walked over, and said, "Brother Feng, then let me draw." ”

Feng Shuzhu thought for a moment and handed the pen and paper to Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu also took the oil lamp and started drawing from the other direction.
