Chapter 2 Meeting the Dead in a Foreign Country
Shen Yi lived in Qiongta Town for three days, visited almost every corner, and was also accustomed to the gaze of young and old. Later, not only was he quite familiar with the town, but the residents of the town were also familiar with him, no longer staring nakedly, but smiling at him, and even talking to him. After initial curiosity and suspicion, the townsfolk discovered that the young man was actually very easy-going and talkative.
Wu San was even more familiar with Shen Yi, so he didn't need to greet guests, and when he didn't plan to settle accounts, he went to sit at Shen Yi's table and drank and talked with him.
Most of the time, it was Wu San who said, and Shen Yi listened. Shen Yi spoke very little, but Wu San felt that he said a lot and had a good temper with each other. They talk about everything from south to south, and every time they talk about Jiangnan, Shen Yi's smile becomes more gentle, as if he thinks of his distant hometown, and the strange thing is that Wu San, who claims to grow in the desert, also reveals the same strong homesickness.
In addition to Jiangnan, Wu San also asked a lot about the capital, asked about the latest decrees issued by the imperial court, and asked Lord Yuwen of Qingtian Mansion...... No matter what Wu San asked, Shen Yi would answer simply and directly. If Wu San's remarks were too intense, he listened with the same smile, neither refuting nor echoing them.
Wu San felt more and more that Shen Yi's cultivation and concentration far exceeded ordinary people.
Wu San thought for a while and asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "Shen Gongzi, Qiongta Town is located in the middle of nowhere, it is neither a major transportation town, nor does it have any strange specialties, why did you come all the way?
Shen Yi put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled slightly, "I'll wait for someone." ”
Wu San was even more curious, "Wait for someone, how many days have you been waiting for, hasn't the person you been waiting for come yet?"
Shen Yi shook his head, "No." ”
Wu San patted his fat chest, "It's not bragging, there is no one in Qiongta Town that my old Wu doesn't know, Shen Gongzi, just say this person's name, I will definitely be able to help you find it." ”
Shen Yi smiled, his eyes blazing, "I don't know this person's name, someone left a book anonymously to ask me to come." ”
Wu San raised his right hand and scratched the back of his head with sparse hair, "That's weird, this person asked you here, but he didn't show up, it wouldn't be a prank, joking with you, right?"
Shen Yi looked at Wu San and said unhurriedly: "Maybe this person is still hesitating, maybe he is in trouble, this date is very important to him, it will never be a joke." ”
Wu San laughed hesitantly, "This person is really interesting, since he made an appointment, he squirmed and refused to show up." ”
Shen Yi also smiled, "Yes, this is an interesting person, I will definitely wait for him to appear." ”
Wu San was silent for a moment, picked up the wine jug and poured a full bottle of wine for Shen Yi, "Shen Gongzi is also very interesting, I can have a good customer like you, I am a little wishful that you can't wait for someone, so you can live in a small shop permanently." ”
Shen Yi smiled: "Those who should come will come sooner or later." ”
There was a quarrel at the door of the inn, and one of the voices was something Shen Yi was all too familiar with, and it was the last thing he wanted to hear at the moment. In this world, the only person who can make the dignified Jiangnan hero Shen Yi feel a headache is the owner of this voice.
However, the person with the most headache is not Shen Yi, but Wu San.
Wu San stood behind the counter, opened a pair of small eyes, carefully looked at the two people who came in, and said with a smile: "Two guest officers, may I ask ......?"
The shorter of the two interrupted him unceremoniously, "You really asked knowingly, of course we are going to stay in the hotel, there is only such a broken inn in this broken place where birds don't lay eggs, uncle, I can't even think of it." ”
The short man was dressed in men's clothes, he spoke with his throat in his voice, he called himself an uncle, he deliberately spoke roughly, and his face that could not be covered by the dust was beautiful and beautiful, obviously a girl in disguise.
Wu San was about to speak, but the tall man had already taken the lead, "I said Miss Hua, this is what you asked for, tell you not to come, you come with you, what are you complaining about now?! Walking the rivers and lakes is originally a place to eat and sleep, of course, it is not as comfortable as you being the eldest lady of Pear Flower Village." ”
Before Wu San could open his mouth, Miss Hua said first: "You would say me, who complained bitterly all the way that the wind and sand were too big, the sun was too strong, the water was not enough to drink, the rice could not be swallowed, and the bath could not be bathed...... He also said that the Central Plains is so big, it is not easy to go anywhere, and the person surnamed Shen just ran to this broken place where birds don't lay eggs...... These are all you said, and I remember every word for real. ”
Wu San looked at this one, and then at that one, suddenly had a headache, and then looked at the swords and swords they wore on their waists, and said respectfully: "Two guest officers, your second elder ......."
Miss Hua Da narrowed her eyes and shouted, "Are we very old? What are the two elders? Live in the hotel, stay in the hotel, and open two upper rooms quickly." ”
Wu San couldn't cry or laugh, and flattered and said: "You two are just young people, not old at all, but the villain is old and confused." Now there are two guest rooms in the small shop......" he said as he took out the booklet and opened it, "May I ask the two honorable ......."
Miss Huada's eyes were quick, she caught a glimpse of the name on the book, and turned around with her elbow, "Hey, look at it, it's weird, they have a guest here who is also named Shen Yi." ”
She knocked her elbow into the air, and when she turned back, she saw that the people around her had walked to a table in the store and sat down steadily.
Miss Hua pursed her mouth, stomped her feet hard, and opened her mouth to scold, but she saw Shen Yi in a blink of an eye, as if a fresh breeze was blowing in her face, her anxiety suddenly decreased, and her heart calmed down. She closed her mouth, tugged at her shirt, and sat down at the table obediently.
The tall man who came with Miss Hua was not polite at all, he went to take a wine glass, poured it full of wine, poured it into his stomach, and shouted to the sky, "There is such bad wine in the world!" He poured another glass of wine, smacked his tongue, and grimaced, before he looked at Shen Yi with a smile, "Brother Shen, don't come to harm?"
Shen Yi's expression was strange, and he couldn't laugh a little, "It turned out to be Brother Liu, fortunately." ”
Liu Qingyun, one of the three heroes of Qingfeng Village, drank another glass of wine, wiped his mouth, shook the empty wine jug, and shouted at Liuhuai, who was staring at him stupidly: "Boy, don't stand still, bring another pot of wine." He put down his wine glass, leaned forward, stared at Shen Yi with a pair of big eyes like morning stars, and suddenly grinned, "Do you really think it's a blessing to meet me?"
Shen Yi frowned, "Dare to ask where Brother Liu came from?"
Liu Qingyun saw the expression on Shen Yi's face, and laughed proudly, "I'm just here to find you, Third Master, I'm so idle and panicked, I know that something interesting will happen where you go, so I hurried after you." ”
Wu San, who was standing next to him with his hands down, was full of smiles, and interjected to Shen Yi and said, "It turns out that this Liu Gongzi is the person you are waiting for." ”
Liu Qingyun laughed and said, "Is he's waiting for me?"
"Of course not. Shen Yi explained to Wu San first, then looked at Liu Qingyun and asked in a deep voice, "How do you know that I am here?"
Liu Qingyun squinted at him, filled himself with a glass of wine, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry, besides me, there are also Lord Yuwen and Mr. Zhuge of Qingtian Mansion, no one knows that you are here." As for how do I know? Hehe, I've got my own tricks. ”
Shen Yi looked at Miss Hua who was sitting at the table and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is the third sister of the Hua's Shuangxia in Lihuazhuang, known as the troublesome Miss Hua Susu Hua......" Liu Qingyun suddenly turned his head and looked at Hua Susu a few times, "It's strange, you usually talk the most, why don't you say a word now?"
Hua Susu glared at him fiercely, "If you dare to say anything to make trouble, I'll break your head, believe it or not?"
Shen Yi looked at Liu Qingyun, and then at Miss Huada, and suddenly felt that there was more than one person in this world who could give him a headache.
