Chapter Ninety-Seven: Holding the Pipa and Half-Covering His Face (1)

Shen Linfeng walked on the streets of Qingzhou with a stomach full of questions, he still didn't believe it, how could Xia Ziyan, who claimed to be the daughter of Xia Mansion, be a delicate thief? He thought about it to no avail, and finally simply left it behind and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the street by himself.

He has also been to many places since he came down from Shenju Mountain, Longshan, Changyang, Yancheng, but these towns mentioned above are simply incomparable to this Qingzhou City.

The shops on both sides of the street, the slightly warm sunlight sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls, the high fluttering shop flags, the sparkling carriages and horses, and the endless stream of pedestrians, this scene suddenly made Shen Linfeng's mood feel a lot more comfortable.

After walking forward for a while, a burst of refreshing aroma wafted out from a teahouse on the street, Shen Linfeng looked forward to it, only to see that the front door of the teahouse was like a market, and a man who looked like a shopkeeper was selling a drawer of fragrant snacks by the door.

Shen Linfeng ran for a long time, although he had also eaten some dry food on the way, but at this moment, smelling this bursts of fragrance, he suddenly felt hungry.

He tightened the cloth bag around the Frost Sword and walked towards the store.

Shen Linfeng had just stepped into the teahouse, and a well-dressed shopkeeper was greeted on the opposite side, who was shaking a gray white towel with one hand, and dragging a long voice in his mouth, shouting: "Yo, this master, please come inside!"

Shen Linfeng smiled at him, then raised his feet and walked in, what he didn't expect was that the teahouse was lively in front of the door, and the store was even full.

"What do you want to eat?"

Shen Linfeng was the first time to this kind of teahouse, where did he know what to order, he looked around in embarrassment, so he ordered: "Bring a few kinds of dim sum from your store, and then a pot of good tea!"

The shopkeeper wiped two tables, and after listening to Shen Linfeng's words, he threw the towel on his shoulder casually, and shouted, "Hey...... Two delicious snacks and a pot of good tea!"

After a while, the shopkeeper put two plates of fragrant dim sum and a pot of freshly brewed tea on the table.

"This master, everything you want is all right, you use it slowly, and if you need anything, you can give a command. ”

After Shen Linfeng finished dealing with this enthusiastic shopkeeper, he leaned back comfortably on the chair, ate this crispy dim sum, drank fragrant tea, listened to the beautiful singing voice of a pipa woman opposite, and said in his heart: This is the real life of the rivers and lakes!

However, just as Shen Linfeng was greedily enjoying this comfortable and comfortable time, in front of an inn opposite the teahouse, two men whispered for a moment, and then stepped into the inn.

After the two men entered the inn, they walked straight to a table and whispered, "Senior Brother Chen, then Shen Linfeng is drinking tea in the teahouse opposite!"

"Tea, huh! He's interested, has he noticed you?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Okay, one of you two is watching here, and the other of you will immediately go and notify the people behind you and let them hurry to Qingzhou City!"

"Yes!"

When everything was arranged, he took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and the two mustaches under his nose slowly lifted upward.

Shen Linfeng finished eating snacks and drinking tea, and looked into the distance through the window, he looked at the houses in the distance with new tiles and white walls, and sat on the majestic high-rise buildings, thinking: This Qingzhou City is really rich.

Suddenly, his mind changed, and he suddenly remembered the portrait he saw in the hands of the officers and soldiers when he entered the city, the woman in this painting looked very much like Xia Ziyan, but why was she called "Linglong Thief"?

Could it be that she is the one who specializes in stealing rare treasures in Qingzhou City?

This series of questions kept emerging in Shen Linfeng's mind, which disturbed him.

At this time, the sound of the pipa on the opposite side sounded again, Shen Linfeng looked for prestige, the woman was wearing a plum blossom pattern gauze robe, her hair was pulled up to the clouds near the incense bun, and there was a bright red plum on the top of her head, the woman's skin was fair, and a red gauze scarf gently covered half of her face.

The sound of the piano is melodious, and Shen Linfeng can't help but think of a sentence: "Still holding the loquat and half-covering the face" is a rare enjoyment whether it is in the ears or in the eyes.

"Whoa!" came from downstairs with the crunch of chopsticks falling to the ground, followed by a burst of rude shouts.

"Damn, Xiao Er, hurry up and make room for Lao Tzu!"

Many of the diners upstairs were curious to lean on the railing and look down when they heard the noise.

Shen Linfeng frowned secretly, and said in his heart: It's true that everywhere you go, you will meet some people who are very bad.

Suddenly, the people who had just been watching the excitement hurried back to their seats as if they had seen a plague god.

After a while, the shopkeeper walked up with a smile on his face, nodded and walked up, followed by several stout men, led by a bare head with a round face covered with black pockmarks.

"Ouch, Master Leopard, haven't you been out of the city these days? Little One Cheng thinks you'll be back today, otherwise you have to keep your seat for you!"

"Ouch, Lord Leopard, watch your step!"

The shopkeeper led the pock-faced man upstairs as if he was serving his ancestors!

At this time, there was a person beside the pockmarked face, and he hurriedly said: "Hmph! You little second can still speak." Otherwise, with the temper of our leopard master, we will have to smash your store today!"

"Yes, yes, yes! The little ones must pay attention next time, that seat will be reserved for you in the future, and no one will be able to make it!"

The pock-faced man walked around the corner and was instantly attracted by the pipa woman sitting in the corner, his eyes lit up, his eyes kept wandering on the woman, especially the looming face made him want to stop, Shen Linfeng felt that if it wasn't for someone present, it was estimated that his saliva would flow to the ground.

How could a man beside him not understand his intentions, and he was about to grab the pipa girl's wrist with a lewd laugh in his mouth, but what he didn't expect was that the man's movements were just halfway through, but he was suddenly stopped by the pock-faced man: "Wait! Don't worry! Let Lao Tzu appreciate it first." ”

After speaking, his subordinates drove the closest table of guests to the woman, and the pock-faced man hurriedly sat down to appreciate it "seriously".

Shen Linfeng's heart swelled with endless disgust, so he untied the cloth bag behind him in front of him, and said in his heart: I really don't want to cause trouble, and I can find trouble by myself.

But thinking about it, there was one thing that surprised Shen Linfeng's heart, and that was the woman in front of him.

Shen Linfeng noticed that from the pock-faced man throwing the bowl downstairs, to him going upstairs, and then standing in front of the woman to peep, all these actions of the woman have not changed at all, as if she can't see with her eyes, she still plays the pipa in her hand with all her heart.

Shen Linfeng had a feeling in his heart that this woman must be unusual, thinking of this, his hand holding the cloth bag also loosened a little, and thought: Let's take a look first!
