Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

The fat man stared at the black dragon and said: "Assassinating the emperor is not a joke. I need help. You let the girl go and I will take my brother to do this for you. Otherwise, I will die immediately and no one will be able to do it at that time." I’ve done this for you.”

The black dragon twisted in the air and swooped down in front of the fat man, staring at the fat man with its blood-red eyes.

"You can release this woman and your brother, but I need hostages. The two women in your family must come with me. When you come to see the emperor with his head, I will release them. But I don't have much patience. I’ll give you a month, if you don’t complete the task by then, don’t blame me!”

After saying that, it roared loudly and disappeared into the clouds.

After a gust of wind, the sky suddenly became clear, and a bright moon was in the sky, as if nothing had happened.

Fatty and I suddenly became nervous, ran out of the poplar forest, and hurried back. Sure enough, Hui'er and Liu Qingqing were missing from home! There was only a sleeping Ah Bao on the ground.

I shook Abao awake and asked, "Why are you sleeping here? Where are your sister Huier and the others?"

Abao rubbed his eyes with his hands, pointed to their room and said, "Aren't they in the room? I was talking to them just now. I was so sleepy that I fell asleep."

"Damn it, this bastard really kidnapped them. Isn't this life-threatening? I thought I could come back quickly and take them away." I was so angry that I punched the table hard.

The fat man said: "It's useless, it will be found even if we run to the edge of the earth."

"Then what should we do? Do we really want to assassinate the emperor?"

"All things in heaven and earth must be mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. If we want to defeat this evil dragon, we must find what it is afraid of."

"It has become a spirit. Is there anyone who can cure it?"

"There should be, let me think about it."

"Then we have to hurry up. We only have one month." I couldn't help but feel anxious.

The fat man nodded and said, "Let's take a rest first and conserve our strength. We have a long journey tomorrow."

"Go, follow me to a place!"

I was shaken awake by the fat man in my sleep, and I was confused.

"Where?"

The fat man said: "Don't ask, just follow me."

I followed the fat man and walked eastward, and soon came to a wine shop in the Moulin Rouge in the east of the city. This was a mixed public house, where people from all walks of life usually came and went. However, it was the morning and the door of the wine shop was closed until the afternoon. will open.

The fat man patted the door panel and said loudly: "Open the door!"

With sleepy eyes, the waiter reluctantly removed a door panel, stuck his head out, and said to us angrily:

"Sir, you are here early. You two, please come back at the same time."

As he said that, he yawned and went to the door panel.

The fat man blocked the waiter's hand, approached him, and said secretly:

"Tell Boss Hua that it's time to stew the pig's trotters."

The waiter was startled, but quickly realized,

"You two gentlemen, please come in."

After saying that, he let us in, looked out again, and quickly closed the door.

"You two, please have some tea. I'll be back as soon as I can."

The waiter trotted to the back hall. After a while, a woman in her 40s came out of the back hall.

She was dressed in white clothes. Although she was no longer young, she still had a faint aloof charm. She was very beautiful, but her eyes were blind.

The waiter helped her sit opposite me and the fat man, and then went out.

She seemed a little excited, with a slight blush on her face.

"You're finally here. I have some good braised pig's trotters on the stove. Just wait for me."

As she spoke, she stood up in a hurry and groped towards the kitchen.

"Are you Boss Hua?" the fat man asked.

"I am Huarong, you are not him."

Boss Hua stood still, the blush on her face quickly faded, and she turned around slowly,

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I am his grandson, and my name is Zheng Xiaodong."

Boss Hua said coldly: "Why doesn't he come?"

"My grandfather is no longer here. He asked me to come to you when I was desperate."

"He's gone? He's gone?"

Boss Hua was shaky, so Fatty and I hurried over to help her and asked her to sit down. Her face turned even pale.

"I still can't wait for him, and I never will."

Her eyes were empty, without tears. She opened her mouth wide, but could not make any sound. Her hair turned white all of a sudden.

There is a kind of pain that is silent.

After a long time, she finally spoke:

"This wine shop has been open for 20 years, and I have been waiting for him here for 20 years. I have never left even half a step, and I still haven't waited for him. Alas, this is life."

"Why are you waiting for him?" I asked.

Boss Hua ignored the question. She fumbled and took the fat man's hand, then touched his face.

"You've gained some weight, but you still look like your grandfather back then."

"Grandpa asked me to come."

"Then something big must have happened. My child, I owe your grandfather my life, and it's time for me to pay him back."

"My grandfather never said anything about you. He just asked me to come to you when I was desperate and say: It's time for the pig's trotters to be stewed, and you will help me."

Boss Hua nodded, and she smiled again:

"It seems that he has not forgotten me. He still thinks about the pig's trotters I stewed. I have only stewed the pig's trotters here for him for 20 years, but he has not taken a bite. This time, his grandson is lucky to be able to eat it. One bite can be regarded as a kind of fate."
