Chapter 10: The Night Wind

After the old man left, Pang He and Su Ying kept doing it, and everyone wanted to stop talking, wanting to speak, but they didn't know where to start. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Later, the old man came over: "It's time to eat, come here!" but seeing the two of them like this, he felt a little funny: "Okay, young people are like this, and my wife and I were like this when we were young." ”

Pang He and Su Ying didn't know what to say at this time, and they didn't know how to explain it, so they stood up silently and followed the old man to the dining room. The dishes have already been set on the table, and although they are all vegetarian, they are very well done. The old man beckoned: "Sit down, they are all vegetarian dishes, we grow them ourselves, please don't see outside." Pang He and Su Ying hurriedly said: "No, no, it's very good, we like it." The old man looked at the two of them again at this time, and the two of them felt embarrassed.

Then the old woman asked, "You two are newly married." ”

Pang He and Su Ying were stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded.

The old man smiled: "Old woman, let's not be ashamed of them, let's eat first." ”

After that, there was not a word at the dinner table, and in a quiet atmosphere, several people had already eaten.

Walking out the door, the night breeze blows, and with the coolness of autumn, it seems to be a little cold. Pang He watched Su Ying shiver a little in the wind, so he dragged off his coat and put it on Su Ying. Su Ying didn't refuse, just watched Pang He put on himself blankly, and didn't say anything.

At this time, Pang He smiled, like a guardian, standing quietly by his side, caring and loving himself. The silent Su Ying grabbed the coat draped on his body, and suddenly felt a warmth.

The old man looked at the two of them, cast an approving glance at Pang He, and said, "It's not early, it's windy, it's getting cold, I'll send you back, and by the way, I'll take you to see this street, and where to buy things." ”

Pang He looked at Su Ying: "No need to send it, let's walk back slowly first." ”

Su Ying also chimed in: "Uncle, don't send it!"

At the old man's repeated insistence, Pang He and the three of them walked out of the door, and the street was already lit with candles, which was a little dim. But there was still no one on the road, and the three of them stood out in the empty street.

Pang He looked up at the sky, the moon was half circle above, and the scattered starlight was also one of the few spectators in this bustling capital. Then he looked at Su Ying and the old man: "Uncle, why was it so prosperous before, but now it is so indifferent, and where did the original furnishings go?"

The old man paused for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "When I came, it was already empty, maybe these things were taken away, I heard that some good things were taken away by some rich and powerful." ”

Su Ying continued after the old man finished speaking: "No matter where it is, as long as it declines, it will naturally become the target of theft, just like robbing a tomb." It should be similar here, the rich and powerful take what they like, and as long as the rest can be used, most of them will be taken by other civilians or thieves, not to mention that there should be nothing left here after being inhabited by beggars. And that time, the emperor would take it all away to cover up that he had been here to protect his reputation. ”

Seeing that Su Ying's analysis was very reasonable, the old man hurriedly nodded and praised: "Miss Su is really knowledgeable. ”

Pang He smiled again and quipped: "Otherwise, how can you call Master Su!"

Su Ying ignored Pang He at this time, and said to the old man: "Uncle, he is stupid, and those who are smarter than him are called bachelors." ”

The old man said with a smile: "But Su Dongpo, Su University, is indeed full of wealth, calligraphy, poetry and painting. ”

Pang He said: "That's why I praised her Bachelor Su!"

The old man patted Pang He and said: "When I was young, I was about the same as you, so I lived a very happy life, but unfortunately as I grew older, my original feelings faded little by little, and now I am insensitive, I hope you don't be like me, forced by life, and lose yourself." ”

The old man's words were a little sad, and with the autumn wind greeting these two imposter couples who had just come here on the dim street, he became sad again.

When the two looked at the autumn moon, they were full of sadness. The old man felt that he had made the atmosphere very bad at this time, and comforted: "I'm sorry, in fact, I envy you two, I shouldn't say such sad things, I believe you will have a better life in the future." ”

When Pang He and Su Ying saw the old man say this, they realized that they had just been too expressive, so they settled down and explained to the old man that they were just a little homesick.

The night breeze was still blowing, and the three of them walked slowly, unconsciously. Because the old man wanted to take them to see the nearest market here, Pang He and Su Ying followed the old man. In the morning, they followed Li Shao, and now they are following the old man, the same confusion but different moods.

In the silence of the night, only the sound of footsteps and the wind was on the clean streets. Soon they had walked out of the street, and on another street to the east, they saw the shadow of buying and selling, apparently having closed the stall so late. And it is not a few people who come out, compared to "Wangfeng Street", it is already a lot more lively. The old man said that this is "Anlin Street", and people who usually live on "Wangfeng Street" come here to buy something when they come back from the school field, and then go back to their homes. There are inns, hotels, restaurants, and other shops, and although it doesn't look very good, you can buy everything you need in general life, and the further you go inside, the more prosperous it becomes.

After the uncle's general introduction, Pang He and Su Ying were basically clear. The old man decided to turn around and go back, after all, it was not early, and there was no need to continue walking.

The old man said, "Let's go back first, here you have time to come back tomorrow." ”

Pang He and Su Ying said yes. So the three of them walked back together, and when they reached the door of the house, Pang He and Su Ying invited the old man to come in and sit down, but the old man was already refusing, saying that it was not too early, and he would go back first and come back another day. Seeing that the old man refused, he had to give the old man a while and went into the house to rest.

The next day passed like this, seeing that Su Ying was not as tired as when she came on the first day, not only was she more energetic and energetic, but she could also joke with herself, Pang He's heart was also relieved, but this road was still very long, and what she needed to do in the future to make her return to reality safely, her heart was mixed again.
