Dangyang Case Chapter 4 Dian Xiao Er

The often overcrowded 'Luofeng Tavern' has a little second brother who serves tea and wine, which has not attracted much attention, and most of the guests who enter the store are focused on the wine and Yueniang, and at most they occasionally glance at this delicate-looking teenager.

After Ji Feiyun was rescued by Xiao Shanzi and Uncle Guan that night, seeing that he had a poor background, there was no place to go in this Jedi outside the Saiwai, and he couldn't live, so he begged Yueniang to leave Ji Feiyun to be a buddy in the store and help with chores.

Yueniang didn't say much, just asked Uncle Guan to arrange it. Seeing this, Ji Feiyun hurriedly got up and waved at Yueniang, saying that he was grateful to Yueniang for taking him in, and he would definitely thank several benefactors in the future. Yueniang was about to turn around and leave, but when she saw Ji Feiyun's serious thanks, she had a bit of a scholar's bearing, and she was suddenly a little surprised in her heart, and said: "Yo, people can't look good, I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable, have you ever read?"

Ji Feiyun saw Yueniang speak, the voice was as gentle as water, listening to it in his ears was like bathing in the moonlight, he was like a country child who had never seen the world, he immediately blushed, but he still said: "When my father was alive, he taught me to read and write. ”

Yueniang looked at the shy little boy in front of her, and she was also very happy, she often dealt with the men who came and went to the tavern, and listened to too many hypocritical and flattering snobbery, and after saying a few words to this simple little boy, she suddenly felt very relaxed in her heart.

She saw that Ji Feiyun's face was pale and tired, so she said to Old Uncle Guan: "Uncle Guan, you can arrange for him to have a good rest." After speaking, Ji Feiyun smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Ji Feiyun looked at Yueniang's back blankly, and waited until Yueniang went out and couldn't see it, then he turned back to Uncle Guan and said, "Thank you Uncle for taking me in." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Okay, the child doesn't cry, just stay here, don't worry about the rest. Uncle Guan said to Ji Feiyun with a smile.

"Yes. Ji Feiyun wiped his eyes with his hand and nodded in response.

"You can call me Uncle Guan in the future, okay, I'll take you to rest first, and the rest, I'll talk about it tomorrow after resting." After Uncle Guan finished speaking, he motioned to Ji Feiyun to follow him, Uncle Guan carried the wind lamp on the table, took Ji Feiyun out of the door and turned left, and came to a room where sundries were usually piled up, which was much smaller than Uncle Guan's room. At this time, Xiao Shanzi also came and gave Ji Feiyun two big meatloaf, and then Uncle Guan called to help Ji Feiyun with the quilt and mat.

Uncle Guan cleaned up a few sundries on the ground, Ji Feiyun hurriedly wrapped the meatloaf and put it in his arms, to help Uncle Guan, Uncle Guan saw that Ji Feiyun only drank a bowl of mutton soup and was alive again, smiled, and thought to himself: "Young people are so good." ”

After a while, Xiao Shanzi brought the quilt and mat, helped lay out the quilt and put it away, and then stood aside and looked curiously at the young man who was a few years younger than himself.

When Uncle Guan saw that everything was done, he put the wind lantern on an old table in the room, and then said, "Child, you can rest well, we will sleep next door, and we will be called if there is something." ”

"Yes, I'll live next door to you, and you can call me if there's something. Xiao Shanzi grinned.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Guan, thank you Brother Xiaoshanzi. Ji Feiyun said.

Old Uncle Guan called Xiao Shanzi, then turned around and walked out, Xiao Shanzi waved his hand at Ji Feiyun, and said with a smile: "See you tomorrow." ”

Ji Feiyun also smiled, watching Uncle Guan and Xiao Shanzi leave, closed the door, and he was the only one left in this earthen house, and a sense of loneliness instantly crept into his heart. He glanced at the wind lantern, then walked over to the bed on the ground and sat down, reached out and took the meatloaf from his bosom, and ate it slowly.

From the carefree life, to the sudden disaster, to the lonely wandering, to the kind strangers in front of him to take him in, what happened on this day was really ups and downs, it was unbelievable, until this moment, Ji Feiyun couldn't tell if he was dreaming, or if all this really happened. But in his heart, he has been praying, comforting himself, everything he has experienced today is not true, just dreaming, sleeping well, waking up tomorrow morning, he will return to the real world, and his father has already made breakfast and is waiting for him to get up and eat.

Every morning when he opened his eyes, Ji Feiyun had a kind of expectation in his heart, expecting that he was lying on a familiar bed, and his father heard the sound of his father waking him up for breakfast. But this scene never happened again, and he had been in this strange tavern all along. Gradually, he became more and more disappointed in his heart, and finally had to reluctantly accept this reality.

Under the leadership of Xiao Shanzi, Ji Feiyun gradually got started with the work of the tavern and became a qualified shopkeeper. In addition to entertaining guests with Xiaoshanzi in the lobby, he also goes to the back kitchen to help Uncle Guan in his free time, and he rushes to do all the rough work, even when Yueniang calculates the accounts in the store, he is also there to help.

Everyone liked this diligent young man very much, and they all cared about him, knowing that he had just suffered the misfortune of losing his loved ones, and it was also a test for his heart to bear such grief at a young age.

At the end of the afternoon, Ji Feiyun finished his work and sat alone at the door of the tavern, watching the crowd in the city silently distracted.

"What are you thinking, so engrossed?" Yue Niang's voice sounded in her ears.

Ji Feiyun was excited, hurriedly stood up, and said embarrassedly: "Boss, I ...... it"

Yueniang looked at Ji Feiyun's embarrassment, sneered, and said, "Feiyun, don't call me boss lady in the future, just call me sister if you make me how old I am." ”

Ji Feiyun's face turned red again, and he nodded slowly, "Sister Yueniang." ”

Yueniang smiled slightly, pulled Ji Feiyun to sit down, and said, "What's the matter, what's upset?"

Ji Feiyun's face darkened when he saw Yueniang asking him, and whenever he was free, he would think of his father, of Fluttershy, of Xiaohuan, and of the villagers of Dangyang Valley. He bowed his head and said, "I miss my dad." ”

Yueniang patted Ji Feiyun's shoulder with her hand and said, "Can you talk to my sister?"

Ji Feiyun turned his head to look at Yueniang, Yueniang smiled at him, Ji Feiyun hurriedly bowed his head, and after a while, he said: "I used to live in a valley, and we lived there with twenty or thirty families, everyone lived in harmony, lived well, and never had contact with the outside world. Speaking of this, Ji Feiyun remembered the previous days in Dangyang Valley in his heart, Yueniang saw him say this, there was a smile on his face, but soon it dimmed again, only to see him continue: "That night, I was lying on a chair outside the house to watch the stars, and then fell asleep, and was woken up by my father in the middle of the night, it turned out that a group of unidentified people in black came to the valley, and my father seemed to know them, but he was very afraid of them. The black-clothed men called all the villagers to the sun-grained flat, they all wore grimace masks on their faces, and they held bright swords in their hands, all of them were fierce and vicious, and everyone was stupid and did not dare to make a sound. ”

Ji Feiyun said this, his hands clenched into fists, and he continued angrily on his face: "I saw them killing villagers for no reason, and I was angry, so I fought with one of them, those men in black were very powerful, I was kicked hard by them, and I fell to the ground and couldn't move. ”

"Where did they hurt you, and do you still hurt now?" asked Yueniang.

Ji Feiyun shook his head and continued: "Later, I found out that they came for my father, they knew my father before, but because of something, my father never told me. Just as they were about to kill me, my father suddenly appeared, and as soon as he made a move, he knocked a few black-clothed people close to me to the ground, grabbed me and left, I never knew that my father knew martial arts, and he was so tall. ”

Yueniang looked at this simple young man, she didn't expect to be so brave, and asked softly, "Then what happened?"

"Later, my father carried me to the top of the mountain, but the group of men in black also followed, surrounded us, and my father was poisoned again, and I couldn't support it anymore, and finally my father threw me off the cliff on the other side, and I came here for some reason. Ji Feiyun said, tears coming out again.

Yueniang stretched out her hand and gently held Ji Feiyun's hand, and waited for him to calm down a little before asking, "You said that you fell off the cliff and came here inexplicably?"

Only then did Ji Feiyun feel that his hand was being held by Yueniang, his heart was pounding, and he lowered his head and said: "I fell off the cliff and fainted, I had a dream, and I saw my uncle again in the dream, and he played the piano to me again, and I woke up and arrived here." ”

Yueniang frowned slightly, then took a good look at Ji Feiyun, and found that he was nothing special, so she said with a smile: "Feiyun, live well here in the future, sister will take care of you, what is there to tell sister." ”

"Well, thank you, Sister Yueniang. Ji Feiyun said.

"Let's go, let's go into the house, and my sister will make you something to eat. Yueniang said, pulling Ji Feiyun and walking towards the tavern.

Ji Feiyun let Yueniang take her hand and go inside, and her heart was warm.

In late autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the cold wind is blowing from the depths of the desert wrapped in sand and dust, but it is blocked to the north of Falling Wind City.

In the past few days, there have gradually increased the number of people in Falling Wind City, in addition to ordinary merchants, there are also some people with extraordinary status judging from their clothing.

Most of these people will also come to the Luofeng Tavern to drink a few bowls of wine and go to the cold. Ji Feiyun carefully found that Yueniang's face had become a little dignified in the past few days, and so was Uncle Guan, Xiao Shanzi was still enthusiastic about entertaining guests as usual.

Ji Feiyun found that there were more people in the rivers and lakes who came to the tavern to drink, some of them were together, and some were alone, and they all wore this weapon around their waists. He was cautious in his heart, but he had never experienced such a scene, and he didn't know what to do, so he was only anxious in his heart.
