Chapter 1 Return to the country of Lu

Lu State, outside the city of Qufu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For more than two months, Huan Chang not only recovered from his injuries, but also rushed to the capital of Lu non-stop.

"Ah Yun, I'm back, are you okay?"

Looking at this city from a distance after five years, Huan Chang had mixed feelings in his heart, and the familiar and unfamiliar city wall made Huan Chang suddenly feel the urge to cry.

"The so-called homesickness may be this feeling. ”

Huan Chang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, and then strode towards the city.

The streets of Qufu are still bustling, and the faces of the people are full of smiles.

"This feeling is so kind, but also so strange!"

Huan often walked in the crowd, feeling the lively and noisy atmosphere, completely emptying the distracting thoughts in his heart, and feeling extremely relaxed all over.

"I'm going to redeem the handkerchief first. ”

Although Huan Chang enjoyed this feeling of relaxation very much, after thinking of Xiao Yun, his heart immediately became extremely hot, and he found the right way and walked towards the street where the pawnshop was located.

In order to marry Xiao Yun, Huan Chang served as the captain of Qufu City Gate at Xiao Ji's strong request, and he was naturally very familiar with the streets in Qufu City.

Although five years have passed, Huan Chang still quickly found the original pawnshop.

"Guest, you want to be something. ”

The pawnshop shopkeeper is still the same old man as he was back then, but after five years, the pawnshop shopkeeper's sideburns have a lot of gray hair, and his eyes are not as good as before.

The pawnshop owner looked Huan Chang up and down, and found that this person's beard looked a little decadent, and his clothes were a little tattered, but the fabric of the clothes was the best goods produced in the Song Kingdom.

Moreover, Huan Chang also had a sword behind his back, and the shopkeeper's originally cloudy eyes immediately brightened.

The clothes are tattered and the beard is unshaven, indicating that the person's current situation is not very good, and the clothes and fabrics are the best goods in the Song Kingdom, indicating that the person used to have a good family background.

There is a sword on his back, which means that this person may be a down-and-out guest.

People like Huan Chang come to the pawnshop, and they will basically come up with very good and valuable things, and if they run a little, the store can make a lot of money.

The pawnshop shopkeeper was as wise as a torch, and soon saw the business opportunities from the bits and pieces, and immediately asked Huan Chang with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, I'm not here to be a thing, but to redeem something. ”

Huan Chang shook his head when he heard this, walked to the pawnshop shopkeeper, and lifted the long hair that covered his face, revealing a scruffy and angular face.

"Do you remember the shopkeeper is down?"

Huan Chang spoke again, a smile on his face.

Although the pawnshop shopkeeper did not have a too close relationship with Huan Chang, after all, he was the first acquaintance he met when he returned to Lu State, and he naturally felt in a good mood.

The pawnshop shopkeeper stared at Huan Chang for a long time, but after all, he still didn't recognize the identity of the other party, and immediately said a little embarrassed: "The guest is really embarrassed, the memory is getting worse and worse due to his age, and I really don't remember who the guest is." ”

Huan Chang has changed too much, and there is no comparison with the gentle and even scholarly man five years ago.

And the pawnshop shopkeeper didn't believe that Huan Chang, who held an important position in Qufu at the beginning, and later even made great contributions in the war against the Juye Gang, would become so downcast.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the shopkeeper failed to recognize Huan Chang.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Huan Chang couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, and said, "I deposited a handkerchief here five years ago, do you remember the shopkeeper?"

"Five years ago, handkerchiefs. ”

When the shopkeeper heard Huan Chang's voice, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly came up to look at Huan Chang carefully.

After a long time, the shopkeeper vaguely saw the shadow of the gentle and scholarly man from Huan Chang's angular face, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"My lord, how did you become like this?"

Five years ago, Huan Chang had a good identity, and it was very strange that he deposited a handkerchief in the pawnshop, and the shopkeeper naturally remembered this incident deeply, even if five years had passed, he still hadn't forgotten it.

Therefore, after being reminded by Huan Chang, the shopkeeper will remember that incident so quickly.

It's just that the man who is now dressed in tatters and has a scruffy beard is far from the peerless young chivalrous man five years ago.

The old shopkeeper knew that Huan Chang was a great master of Qufu five years ago, even if there was no progress in martial arts in five years, he would definitely not fall into such a situation.

Therefore, after the shopkeeper recognized Huan Chang's identity, he would have such a fierce reaction.

"It's hard to put into words. ”

Huan Chang looked at the horror on the shopkeeper's face, smiled wryly and shook his head, but he was not ready to tell the other party about it.

"Is that handkerchief still there?"

Huan Chang diverted the topic, looked at the shopkeeper with an expectant face, and his voice trembled a little.

That small handkerchief records the purest love between Huan Chang and Xiao Yun, and it is also a token of love between the two, entrusting Xiao Yun's love and affection for Huan Chang.

This handkerchief is of great importance to Huan Chang, who recovers his memory.

He was very scared, the handkerchief five years ago was no longer there, so he was a little worried and a little out of shape.

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Seeing that Huan Chang diverted the topic, the shopkeeper naturally knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly nodded in response, and then beckoned Huan Chang to sit in the hall, but he ran to the back to find a handkerchief.

For pawnshops, valuables have resale value, if they encounter customers who sell valuables, they will try their best to make the guests have no way to redeem them, and then they will resell them to make money.

But the handkerchief had no value in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and no one would buy it even if he resold it.

Most importantly, Huan Chang made it clear at the time that the handkerchief could not be sold, but could only be kept in the pawnshop, and he would redeem it one day.

In order to ensure the safety of the handkerchief, Huan Chang also paid a huge deposit as the storekeeper to keep the handkerchief.

In addition, Huan Chang's martial arts are strong, and he is also quite capable in the capital of Lu State, and the pawnshop shopkeeper naturally does not dare to let the handkerchief be lost, and he has always sealed the handkerchief well for so many years.

"Huan Shaoxia, the handkerchief is here!"

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to take out a fine sandalwood box, and when he opened it, there was a white handkerchief lying quietly.

Huan Chang was in a state of flux, and his heart couldn't help but stir, and he carefully took out the handkerchief, pressed it tightly to his face, and sniffed it with his nose.

"It's been five years, and the handkerchief no longer has the fragrance of Ah Yun's body, but is wrapped in the fragrance of sandalwood. ”

Huan Chang smiled bitterly, paid the money and left with a handkerchief.

"Ah Yun, I'm back, are you okay?"

Huan Chang clutched his handkerchief tightly with both hands, and was about to go to look for Xiao Yun, but just after taking a few steps, he saw his tattered clothes and immediately stopped.

"I can't just go and see Ah Yun. ”

Huan Chang thought for a while, and immediately walked towards the tailor shop.
