Early morning. The wind and snow were even more urgent, and the heavens and the earth seemed to have been shrouded in a miserable whiteness.

Yangui Inn is the largest, most luxurious, and most expensive inn in Yancheng.

There were already a lot of snow-clearing people on the street, but there were not many people in the lobby of the inn, just a few guests drinking morning tea sitting scattered.

Most people like to drink a cup of fragrant morning tea in the morning, and then order a pastry and taste it carefully.

The fifth Xiaolou is drinking, she likes to drink, and she only likes to drink good wine.

Of course, the wine is fifty taels of fine bamboo leaf green, with a rich fragrance and refreshing spleen.

Yu Wenxia didn't come back last night, but the fifth Xiaolou didn't worry too much, the people in the Divine Capture Mansion were already elusive, and she only hoped to meet him before Li Da's birthday.

After all, she also needs to follow Yuwen Xia to attend the banquet.

After several rounds of drinking, slightly drunk.

The fifth Xiaolou supported his head with his hands, his cheeks were slightly red, and even his eyes narrowed, as if he was resting.

She has already begun to think in her heart, whether to go to Jiangnan County to open a teahouse, or to open a teahouse in Beidu?

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the stairwell, followed by a short figure scurrying down the stairs.

The fifth small building followed the sound and looked over.

Descending was a teenage boy wearing a dirty hat and only a thin coat. When he came down, he didn't stop at all, and immediately ran to the door.

The young man who ran the hall was pouring wine for the guests, and when he saw the little boy, he didn't care about the guests, so he immediately rushed over with an arrow and grabbed the little boy in his hands like a chicken.

The little boy did not struggle, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "I didn't steal anything this time, so let me go if you have a lot of them." ”

The shopkeeper's hand tightened, slapped him hard, and said, "It's you again! Su Xiaoduo, when did you say you didn't steal?"

As he spoke, he was about to strip off Su Xiaoduo's clothes, and his already tattered clothes were immediately torn into strips of cloth.

At this time, another young man ran down from the upper floor.

The young man ran very slowly, and when he came downstairs, he bent down and gasped, and said, "This boy is running too fast, and he has stolen a lot of silver from the guest room, and hastened to get it out of him." ”

Su Xiaoduo's eyes were already red, and tears could fall at any time.

Fortunately, the silver was found before the clothes were completely torn, and there was not much silver, only five taels.

Su Xiaoduo knelt down again, and even his voice was a little choked: "It's good for you to take the silver, please don't send me to the official mansion." ”

The shopkeeper twisted his ears and said, "I've let you go several times, and I'm going to send you to the government no matter what!"

Su Xiaoduo finally cried, tears and snot flowed down his face, the shopkeeper's face was full of disgust, and he grabbed his ears and was about to walk out of the door.

The fifth building sat very close to the door, so she just stood up and took two steps to the door, and stopped in front of the door.

Hardly anyone wanted to see such a little boy spend his youth in prison, and she sighed softly, she was ready to take care of it.

The shopkeeper glanced at her, smiled flatteringly, and said, "This guest officer, who are you?"

Everyone in the lobby looked over, curious, sympathetic, and joking, but none of them wanted to help.

When Su Xiaoduo saw her, his eyes rolled, and he immediately cried louder, with a pitiful pleading in his eyes. In this world, there are not many people who can help others, and Su Xiaoduo doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

The fifth Xiaolou sighed again and said, "Forget it, this kid is still young, just teach him a lesson, don't send it to the yamen." ”

The shopkeeper hesitated for a while and said, "This girl, don't you know, this kid has stolen things in our store several times, and he has been released before, but this time he really can't be let go again." ”

Fifth Xiaolou only felt that this little boy was a little familiar, and his name sounded familiar, so she looked at Su Xiaoduo and said, "Is your name Su Xiaoduo?"

Su Xiaoduo immediately nodded like pounding garlic.

The fifth Xiaolou said again: "Who are you Su Xiaoduo?"

Su Xiaoduo's face was full of joy, and he immediately said, "That's my sister, auntie, are you my sister's friend?"

The fifth Xiaolou was suddenly stunned, her eyes widened, her mouth was half open, and she didn't say a word for a long time, she was obviously frightened by the word "auntie".

Su Xiaoduo was completely uninterested, and then said: "I am the only son in my family, Auntie, you must not let these people send me into the yamen, if my sister knows, she will definitely not be able to think about it." ”

In the end, he cried again.

The fifth Xiaolou was still stunned, she only felt that this kid seemed to have more tears than a woman, as if he could cry when he opened his mouth, and he could shed tears when he said that he would shed tears.

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand: "This girl, it's not impossible to let him go, it just so happens that the shopkeeper is not here now." You have to say something, so that the little one can turn back and give an explanation to the shopkeeper. ”

He made it very clear that if he gave money, he would release him.

But Fifth Xiaolou didn't plan to give him money, and besides, she had thought of a better way.

She squinted her eyes and smiled, "Do you know that Zhuge Xia lives in the Tianzi No. 4 room upstairs?"

The shopkeeper nodded immediately.

The fifth Xiaolou continued to smile and said, "Then do you know that Zhuge Xia is my friend?"

The shopkeeper immediately shook his head again.

The fifth Xiaolou said: "I'll take this person away, no matter if you want money, you still have to explain, just go directly to Zhuge Xia." ”

Be a young man in the inn, otherwise you have to be quick-eyed, and you must be well-informed and answer all questions.

Of course, he knew who Yu Wenxia was, and he knew that he lived upstairs, but he didn't know that Yu Wenxia had such a friend.

The shopkeeper thought about it, sighed again, and said, "Girl, it's not that I don't believe you, it's true"

He didn't finish his sentence, and the fifth Xiaolou didn't plan to talk nonsense with him anymore.

The dagger was suddenly unsheathed, and immediately returned to its sheath.

Everyone thought that it was just a gust of breeze, and the yellow rosewood square table for four people in front of the door immediately broke in two.

The shopkeeper immediately felt that his legs were weak, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground, he stared at the fifth small building, his eyes were full of horror.

The fifth Xiaolou easily pulled the stunned Su Xiaoduo to his side, and said, "This table is also counted in Zhuge Xia's account." ”

The shopkeeper had to nod in agreement.

Noon. Heavy snow is beginning to clear.

A vacant lot next to the covered bridge, which was originally the place where the Li family set up a shed to give porridge, has been demolished before dawn this morning, and there are many people who do not want to leave sitting in the open space, most of them are in rags, holding a broken bowl in their hands, and their faces are gloomy.

Surrounded by a stinky ditch on one side of this clearing, there is a small alley, very dirty and just as shady.

The two of them just stood at the mouth of the alley.

The fifth Xiaolou covered his nose and said in an urn voice: "Your house is here?"

Su Xiaoduo smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie." ”

The hand that covered the nose of the fifth Xiaolou was helpless to support his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Can you not call me Auntie?"

Su Xiaoduo scratched his head and said, "What is that calling you?"

Fifth Xiaolou thought about it, sighed again, and said, "You still call me Auntie." ”

At least she can be sure that she is definitely much younger than Su Xiaoduo's age.

Su Xiaoduo had already grabbed the corner of her clothes at this time, and said, "Go to my house and sit down, my house is very big." ”

He then gestured with both hands, about the size of a dog's hole.

The fifth small building hesitated for a while, and finally covered his nose and walked into the alley.

Su Xiaoduo looked very familiar with this place, posing as an old horse, taking the fifth small building three times and two times, and finally turning into a darker alley.

The alley is narrower, only for two people walking side by side, and there is still fresh snow on the ground that has just fallen in the past few days, and there are few footprints, so it can be seen that few people usually come here.

It is hard to believe that the home of the top brand of Luofeng Pavilion in Yancheng is actually in this kind of place.

Su Xiaoduo's home is indeed quite big, at least a lot bigger than the dog hole. When they pushed the door in, they saw a lame old woman cooking behind the door.

Su Xiaoduo said: "This is my grandmother, the boiled noodles are very delicious." ”

The fifth small building looked into the pot, and sure enough, it was noodles, clear water without a drop of oil.

The old woman smiled and beckoned the fifth small building to go inside.

The room was even smaller, with only four beds crammed together, and the cleanest one was of course Su Xiaoduo's.

Su Xiaoduo smiled and said, "Grandma, this is my sister's friend and my friend." ”

The old woman stretched out her hand and knocked on Su Xiaoduo's head and said, "If I can't see it, how can I let her in." ”

The fifth Xiaolou also smiled and arched his hand: "Hello auntie, my name is the fifth Xiaolou." ”

The old woman showed a look of satisfaction on her face, nodded, and said, "You two can play casually here, I'll go outside and cook the noodles." ”

The fifth Xiaolou said: "I've already eaten it, so you don't have to cook it for me." ”

She had only drunk two pots of bamboo leaves in the morning, and although she was a little hungry by now, she really didn't want to taste the taste of clear water again.

The old woman was still smiling, and pushed the door open again and walked out.

There was no stool in the room, so the fifth small building had to sit on the bed, and Su Xiaoduo also sat on the bed opposite, looking at the fifth small building with wide eyes.

The fifth Xiaolou plans to lead this lost teenager back to the right path in life, so that he can do what a hero on the rivers and lakes should do.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled again.

Without waiting for her to speak, Su Xiaoduo suddenly said, "What are you laughing at?"

The fifth Xiaolou was startled, immediately put on a good expression, and said, "Xiaoduo, how old are you?"

Su Xiaoduo said: "I am thirteen this year, and I will be fourteen in two months." ”

Fifth Xiaolou nodded and said, "You are still young, and there are still many opportunities to choose the path of life again." ”

Su Xiaoduo just looked at her, his eyes full of questions.

The fifth Xiaolou said: "Do you understand what I said?"

Su Xiaoduo shook his head.

Fifth Xiaolou took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and said quickly: "What I mean is that you are still so young, don't do those things like stealing chickens and dogs." ”

Su Xiaoduo said: "If I don't do this, I won't have the money to pay the rent, and I won't have the money to buy noodles to eat." ”

The fifth Xiaolou said: "You didn't want to go over and do something else?"

Su Xiaoduo shook his head again and said, "Those things are too troublesome, and the money is too slow." ”

The fifth Xiaolou stretched out his hand and knocked on Su Xiaoduo's head, just like an old woman knocking on his grandson's head, and said, "Can't you think of something serious in your head? If you are caught and sent to prison next time, I will not come to help you again." ”

Su Xiaoduo's eyes rolled, and he smiled slyly, "Then don't let them catch it! My dream is to become the number one thief of the Great Zhou!"

Before he could finish speaking, he stood up on the bed excitedly and danced with his hands.

The fifth Xiaolou looked at him from the corner of his eyes, and said coldly: "Do you know how to work lightly?"

As if he had been poked in the sore spot, Su Xiaoduo was immediately stunned and said lonely: "No." ”

His hand was down.

The fifth Xiaolou sneered again: "Do you know martial arts?"

Su Xiaoduo's expression was even more lonely, and he said, "No." ”

He had sat down slowly.

The fifth Xiaolou smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "So"

As soon as he said two words, Su Xiaoduo immediately continued: "That's why I want to find someone to teach me, teach me the best light skills, the best martial arts!"

He suddenly raised his head and stared at the eyes of the fifth small building, which seemed to have a bright light.

The fifth Xiaolou had to pat his forehead and sigh again.
