When Xia Xun returned to the city, he touched his beard worriedly several times, but fortunately it was relatively strong, otherwise he was not afraid of missing his feet in front of Tang Yaoju, but he did not grow a beard but stuck a fake beard, and it always took some time to explain.
After Xia Xun returned to the city, he was not in a hurry to rush back to Baiquan Huntang, today the whole city is celebrating the New Year, the bigger the Huntang is, the more empty it is, no matter how stoic a person's heart is, when he listens to the sound of firecrackers on the street and keeps vigil alone, the taste is also uncomfortable.
However, Xia Xun was not mistaken, there are really many shops open in the city, in previous years, during the Chinese New Year, most of the restaurants were closed, but this year there are 600,000 troops stationed near Texas, which are far away from their hometowns, and the soldiers are bound by military discipline and cannot leave the barracks at will at any time, but it does not mean that the officers are so well-behaved, especially in the past few days of the New Year, there are many officers who leave the barracks to go to the restaurants in the city to make tooth sacrifices.
Such a huge population base, as long as a small part of them to the restaurant to drink, how prosperous the business is so this year's New Year does not close the restaurant is much more than in previous years, Xia Xun did not go far, there is a small restaurant near Baiquan Huntang, the guests come and go, it is very lively, Xia Xun has eaten here, the food tastes very good, he walked over.
"Ouch, Shopkeeper Xia is here, Happy New Year, Shopkeeper Xia.
The special spirit of the shopkeeper Xia today, the Yin Hall is shining, and the face is full of red light, and he will definitely make a fortune in the coming year. ” As soon as he saw Xia Xun, the shopkeeper of the restaurant greeted him with a smile, full of auspicious words, Xia Xun pinched his chin, and thought: "Brother, isn't Yintang shining with red light one day, just today, is it especially possible that the boy's urine still has such an effect, not only to ward off evil, but also to make Yintang shine." ” To be complimented like this, you have to have something in return, and Xia Xun's reward is that he ordered a large table full of dishes.
Anyone in this world can be greedy for money, but a person like him, who walks a tightrope on the line of life and death all day, is the least stingy with money, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and he can't compromise himself.
Xia Xun picked a table by the window on the second floor, asked for a hot pot, put down his mind to eat and drink, drank to the heart, and simply opened the window, making the sound of firecrackers on the street sound more crisp, but it also has a unique charm.
It's just that my heart is still empty, alas, Ziqi, thank you, but one of you is by my side, that's okay Xia Xun looked at the sparse starry sky, and could only sigh leisurely.
On the same night, in Penglai, Shandong, a ship quietly docked at the edge of the reef.
The captain of the boat turned around and said to the cabin, "Miss Peng, you have arrived."
Alas, I'll just say, in winter, you have to go south, go north, and you have to go so far, you can't do it.
This sailing against the wind, not to mention, I am afraid that you will not be able to withstand such wind and waves, sure enough, alas" There was a man in the cabin, dressed very thickly, and his whole body was covered tightly, and even his face was covered to prevent it from being rough by the sea breeze, but from the crooked eyebrows and delicate eyes, it could still be seen that she must be a very beautiful woman, and her waist was straight, because between her waist, which was slightly bloated in thick clothes, hung a knife, and there seemed to be something embedded in the hilt, and only a little light reflected it brightly.
She looked at the dark mountains on the shore and the faint lights in the distance, and asked, "Captain, where is this?"
The boat boss looked up and replied, "Look at the pavilion on the mountain, oh, this is Penglai, Shandong." ” "Shandong Penglai."
The woman said happily: "Cheng, let's dock here." ” After speaking, she got into the cabin and said to a person covered under the thick quilt: "Thank you, I've arrived in Penglai, I'm not afraid when I get to the boundary of Shandong, I am very familiar with this place."
Your wind and cold are getting heavier and heavier, you can't hold on like this anymore, let's go ashore and find a place to live first, and when you are cured, let's take a carriage and horse to Beiping, and I am very familiar with the road from Shandong Mansion to Beiping Mansion. ” The woman under the quilt responded weakly, the woman under the quilt is Xie Yufei, this saber is naturally Peng Ziqi, Peng Ziqi turned to the old avenue of the boat: "The next road, you can't go by water, it's too slow to rush to the wind, my sister's illness can't be dragged on the boat, I'll take her by land, what should you do?"
To take them north, it is extremely difficult to walk from the sea, because the north wind blows in winter, and it is impossible to travel long distances by manpower, and the sails have to constantly change angles, and take the zigzag route repeatedly detoured, speaking of which these sailors are also miserable, as soon as they heard that they don't need to go north again, the boat boss breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "Don't worry about the two girls, we are not easy to arrange for a few big men, we will deal with it here for a night, and tomorrow will go south with the wind early in the morning, and sail with the wind, it will be much easier." ” "It's okay, I'm tired of the big brothers, our sisters are leaving."
Peng Ziqi returned to the cabin, and after a while, he helped Xie Yufei out, and the two went ashore, Peng Ziqi turned around and said: "Please thank the three masters on our behalf, be generous, and report later." ” "Sister Ziqi, let's find a family to spend the night first, get some hot water to bathe, I haven't taken a bath on the boat for so long, and I'm uncomfortable to death."
Xie Yufei was lying on Peng Ziqi's back, and he said weakly.
Peng Ziqi carried her on his back and walked with a high spirit: "Hey, you asked for yourself, I don't call you here, you have to follow me, your body is delicate and cowardly, can you withstand the wind and waves on the sea, you are all half-dead with the surname of De, you are still taking a bath" "Take a bath, you must wash it, if you don't take a bath for a few days, you will die of discomfort" Peng Ziqi continued to scratch: "If you go north by yourself, even if you take the land route, it is not easy, you have to follow."
Xie Yufei said coquettishly: "People can talk to you the most, you are not there, people are boring to stay on the island."
"Shh Peng Ziqi didn't appreciate it: "Are you reluctant to me, or do you miss him?"
"I want to, but I can't make it" Xie hugged her neck shyly, and Peng Ziqi shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, let's go and hug your brother Xu, I can't breathe." ” On Chinese New Year's Eve, two girls who were happy in suffering, accompanied by the sound of the waves, walked into the vast night, "The wolf loves the sheep, the love is crazy, who let them really love."
It's not ridiculous for wolves to fall in love with sheep, they say that where there is love, there is direction.
Wolves love sheep, madly in love, and they break through the walls of the world.
Fall in love with sheep, love crazy, they support each other to go far away" With a little bit of alcohol and slightly drunk steps, Xia Xun walked on the street, unscrupulously singing songs that did not belong to this era.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, who would care what crazy words he was singing, he rarely released himself, and he sang very happily.
When he was about to arrive at the door, Xia Xun restrained his wild attitude, he walked over, felt out the key and was about to open the door, suddenly he felt something, turned around suddenly, and shouted: "Who" "I'm the shopkeeper" Su Xinchen shrunk out of the corner, her teeth chattered, her little face was blue from the cold, and looking at what she was wearing, it turned out to be just a set of indoor clothes.
Xia Xun was taken aback, quickly took off his robe and wrapped her around her, and asked, "In the middle of the night, you are not at home to watch the New Year, why did you run out like this?"
"I'm out of tune" "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it yet, let's talk about it when we enter the house."
Xia Xun hurriedly opened the door and let her in, the fire was extinguished in the next place, only Xia Xun's bedroom was simmering under the stove, Xia Xun let her into his own room, and said: "Hurry up on the kang, cover the quilt, I'll go make the fire bigger." ” Xia Xun ran to the outhouse, stabbed the fire, added some firewood, and waited for the fire to burn before returning to the inner room.
Xia Xun handed her a glass of warm water and asked, "What's going on?"
Su Xinchen held the water cup, took two sips, and then said in a low voice: "My brother-in-law" Xia Xun raised his eyebrows: "Hmm" Su Xinchen lowered his eyes, and said expectantly: "He drank wine, and then got into my room, and he ran out if he thought I would."
"Lao Jia" Xia Xun was stunned, sighed and said: "He's drunk, this old Jia is too disagreeable, then you can live here tonight, and I'll send you back tomorrow." ” "No, no" Su Xinchen panicked and shook his head again and again.
Xia Xun frowned: "What's the matter, don't be afraid, you lose your morality after drinking, it's just a temporary loss of control, when he wakes up, maybe how ashamed he is, the family lives, you just take care of it, uh, haven't you been taken advantage of by him?"
"No, no, but but" "But what" Su Xinchen's head was buried lower and lower: "But he didn't get drunk for a while."
"Hmm" Su Xinchen plucked up his courage, raised his head and said: "I kicked him, hit him, bit him, pushed him out, and then I heard my sister talking in the next room, she asked me to call me from my brother-in-law, she must have told her brother-in-law a long time ago, he had already had this thought, I was afraid" "This is a problem."
Xia Xun paced in the room for a long time, and said helplessly: "Then you can live here first." ” Su Xinchen asked nervously, "What about tomorrow?"
Xia Xun spread his hands: "Won't you go back from now on?"
Su Xinchen gritted his teeth: "I can support myself" Xia Xun stared at her for a long time, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Then, give me some time, and I'll help you arrange a place to go." ” Su Xinchen just showed a hint of a smile, and said nervously: "Where to go, why don't you leave me here with you?"
"It won't take long for there to be a disaster here, and my summer shopkeeper will disappear without a trace."
Xia Xun thought about it, so he said in embarrassment: "Well, I'm just a man here, it's not suitable."
"Shopkeeper's" "Hmm" As soon as Xia Xun looked up, he saw Su Xinchen Yixin quilt, opened her arms and threw herself into his arms, she was only wearing a small coat, although her body had not grown, her chest was already round, and the moon-white clothes were stretched up in two attractive arcs, Xia Xun was condescending, and as soon as she lowered her head, she could see a touch of delicate cleavage from her slightly open neckline.
"Shopkeeper, you want me" Su Xinchen trembled violently, panting even more, her lips were tense and white, Xia Xun was stupid there, and the little girl Su still bravely raised her little face and said to him very seriously: "I don't think you are old, really" To be continued:
