Facing the warm wind, a painting boat with carved beams and painted buildings slowly sailed into Kaifeng's bustling wharf under the afterglow of the setting sun.A few days ago, Dongfang Bai had sent a letter to Kaifeng's God Sect sub-altar, and the altar master of the sub-altar was waiting at the pier for the past few days, ready to welcome the leader's arrival.

As soon as Huamanlou and Dongfang Bai arrived at the pier in Kaifeng, the sharp-eyed congregation found the mark painted on the bow of the boat, and immediately waited neatly for Dongfang Bai's arrival.

At this time, Dongfang Bai had already changed into a blue men's outfit, and arrived at the pier in a hurry. Hua Manlou explained to the sailors, and followed Dongfang Bai off the boat.

"See..." The branch altar leader immediately stepped forward. This person is none other than the shopkeeper of the Qinghu Building in Kaifeng mentioned above.He saluted Dongfang Bai respectfully with the appearance of a merchant, but Dongfang Bai stopped him before he finished speaking.

"Don't make such a big fuss, I'll leave it to you to take care of the section where the boat stops in Kaifeng. I'm going to stay in Kaifeng for a few days recently." Dongfang Bai said, waving his folding fan.

"Your subordinates obey." The treasurer of Qinghu Building bowed immediately, and then instructed the believers behind him to receive the painting boat. During the time when the leader was in Kaifeng, he must take care of it, so as not to offend the leader.

"It's getting late, let's go to divide the altar." Hua Manlou came to Dongfang Bai's side, looked at the sky and said.

"Master, Elder Lou is here with his subordinates. The carriage has been waiting for a long time." The shopkeeper of Qinghu Building said, leading Dongfang Bai and Hua Manlou to a delicate carriage near the pier.

"You go back first, don't make it so blatant, just treat us as passers-by." Dongfang Bai waved his hand, signaling the sub-altar leader not to be so enthusiastic.

"Yes, that subordinate will go back to the sub-altar first." The shopkeeper of Qinghu Building said with fear, and then got on a fast horse, followed by the rest of the disciples dressed as servants, and ran towards the city. It has been prepared, and we are waiting for the visit of the leader and elders.

Dongfang Bai sat in the carriage, opened the windows and curtains, carefully looked at the bustling people coming and going on Kaifengfu Street, the hawkers who set up stalls along the street, and the crying of children playing on the roadside when they were caught by their mothers , and the pitiful voice of the poor beggars on the roadside when they were begging for food, he sighed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Hua Manlou took a sip of the sour plum soup prepared by the disciples and asked in confusion.

"It's been a while since I've seen so many people, I just sighed a little." Dongfang Bai put down the curtains of the car, turned his head to look at Hua Manlou and said.

"Hehe, let's go to the streets tomorrow to have a look. Kaifeng Mansion is an ancient city with a long history, so you must take a look around when you come here." Hua Manlou suggested.

"Okay, it's okay anyway." Dongfang Bai nodded, "I miss the earth very much after being on the boat for so many days!"

"Should be at the restaurant soon! Are you hungry?" Hua Manlou looked at the bored Dongfang Bai and asked.

"To be honest, I'm not hungry at all." Dongfang Bai smiled mischievously. In the few days on the boat, apart from eating, talking and practicing exercises, he didn't use much energy, so he didn't feel hungry for a while.

"Then let's go down for a walk, we'll be hungry when we reach the restaurant." Hua Manlou laughed.

"Stop." Without saying a word, Dongfang Bai asked the Christians who were on their way to stop their horses.

"What orders do you have?" A carriage suddenly stopped in the downtown area. Although the believers were puzzled, they still asked respectfully.

"We're going to get off here." Dongfang Bai said as he got out of the car, without looking at the believers sitting outside the carriage, he jumped out of the carriage neatly, followed by Hua Manlou.

"How far is it from here to the restaurant?" Hua Manlou asked.

Seeing that the leader and the elders got out of the carriage, the believers also hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and hurriedly said, "There are still three streets in the restaurant, and it will take an hour to walk there. You two should go by car." The believers dare not speak harshly, I can only remind nervously.

"Is it Santiao Street? How to get there?" Dongfang Bai asked, not caring about the distance.

"Go straight for a while and you will see a fork. Go to the right, then pass Yanliu Street, turn left and you will see Panyang Lake. After crossing the bridge, you will arrive at Qinghu Tower." Truly explain the specific location of the sub-forum.

"Understood, you go back first, we will go back by ourselves." Dongfang Bai said, winking at Hua Manlou, and walked forward with his hands behind his back.

"Go back and tell your altar master that we will be there later." Hua Manlou nodded with a smile, and followed Dongfang Bai's pace.

The believer could only watch the leader and the elders leave, touched the hat on his head, climbed into the carriage, and set off on the horse. After all, the elders gave him an order to report back first, right?

Huamanlou and Dongfangbai were walking side by side on the street. Dongfangbai stopped from time to time to look around. The peddler who hadn't moved out of the stall Lianman Zhangluo said, "Brother, buy a bracelet for your sweetheart, this is the best suet Jade."

Dongfang Bai was taken aback, glanced at Huamanlou, grinned, and left the stall with excuses, avoiding the enthusiastic vendors.It is impossible for her to buy this jade bracelet for Huamanlou,

Hua Manlou couldn't help but smile, and quickly caught up with Dongfang Bai, jokingly said, "You're such a Mr. Pianpian, it's just a pity!"

"What's the pity?" Dongfang Bai inquired, for she didn't understand the jokes in Huamanlou's dialect, but she wanted to know the meaning of Huamanlou's dialect.

"It's a pity that no beautiful woman can catch your eyes..." Hua Manlou said with a chuckle.

"That's natural. For a person as high as me, who can understand my loneliness." Dongfang Bai stroked his chin with an unfathomable face, his words were full of deliberate complacency and jokes, and Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing.

"It's really a pity that I have to be company with this man." Hua Manlou said with a smile.

"You're still laughing, it's not like you haven't seen me in men's clothing." Dongfang Bai glared at Hua Manlou with anger.

"Hehe." Hua Manlou rubbed his nose and didn't speak any more. He deliberately changed the subject, pointed at the noisy crowd in front of him and said, "Look what's going on in front? Why are there so many people around in front?"

"Look at the excitement, it's not unusual." Dongfang Bai took a look and then looked away. There is nothing lively and interesting on this street besides selling miscellaneous goods.

"How could there be shoppers at this time, it's almost dark." Hua Manlou said, looking at the crowd, "Maybe it's someone who is in trouble, I heard someone crying, it's a man. "Hua Manlou's sensitive ears paid attention to the movement ahead.

A mocking voice came from the crowd, "Crazy!"

"Stinky drunk!"

"Let's take him aside and blame him for blocking the way here. This guy is real. Every time he gets drunk, he collapses on the road." An elder in the crowd said as he directed the two big men, one at each head, The man who was lying on the ground but kept fighting was carried to the corner of the wall. The man who was carried was crying and shouting, "Give me wine, I want to drink..." Then the crowd dispersed, revealing an empty space. the way.

"It's a drunkard." Hua Manlou relayed.

"I'm still an acquaintance, really lingering." Dongfang Bai glanced at the man lying in the corner and curled his lips.

The drunk was none other than Linghu Chong whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Dongfang Bai didn't expect to meet Linghu Chong again, his whole body was sloppy, his face was bruised and purple, and he huddled in the corner of the wall.

"How did Linghu Chong become like this for a few days this time?" Hua Manlou was slightly surprised. Linghu Chong is Hua Manlou's rival in love, but Hua Manlou never thought that Linghu Chong would live in such a mess. Linghu Chong was a little annoyed at his disappointment.

Dongfang Bai frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment, he turned his head to look at Huamanlou, wanting to hear Huamanlou's opinion.

Hua Manlou didn't answer, but stopped the elder before and said, "Uncle, let me ask you something."

The elder stopped in his tracks, looked at Hua Manlou's attire, and his polite tone, and replied kindly, "Is there anything you want to inquire about, Mr. Chen? Know everything, know everything."

"I think the man making trouble in front is a little strange, what's going on?" Hua Manlou asked knowingly.

"Drunk. That young man has been in Kaifeng for several days. He was drunk every day. He played drunk on the avenue. Fortunately, he didn't hurt anyone. I heard that he drank a lot of wine in Qinghu Building when he was rich. , the things in Qinghu Building are very valuable, I guess he is out of money, he was beaten up and kicked out just after eating the Bawang meal in the restaurant in front of him." The elder said eloquently, This is what Hua Manlou and Dongfang Bai understood.

"Is that so, is this person not sober?" Hua Manlou asked.

"No, I'm drunk every day, and I still call Dongfang or something in my mouth. People around here think he is too noisy. They neither look for his family nor know his name. We also feel sorry for him. Otherwise, he would have been kicked out of this street a long time ago." The elder said, stroking his beard.

"That's it." Hua Manlou nodded, "You take these and drink, thank you." Hua Manlou said and gave the elder a piece of silver.

"No, no." The elder was a little surprised, and quickly evaded.

"Where, that man is our friend. Since we met, we have to help him. Can you help me find a carriage?" Hua Manlou said and glanced at Dongfang Bai.

Dongfang Bai was a little strange, but it was better than watching Linghu Chong dying, and he couldn't help but sigh Hua Manlou's kind heart.

"Well, I'll tell you why someone is spying on him. Wait for me for a while, and I'll call you a carriage. Your friend should be lucky to have a good friend!" The elder sighed and called for a carriage.

The corners of Hua Manlou's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, even though he only met Linghu Chong a few times, he couldn't just leave him alone, and he felt a little annoyed at the bad idea that he came up with at the beginning, it's a hard life for a drunk or something.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have given the idea of ​​making Linghu Chong drink like crazy. It's hurting us now." Dongfang Bai glanced at Linghu Chong who was vomiting, and gave Hua Manlou an annoyed look. Now she feels that she is really asking for trouble. .

"Everything happens for a reason. We don't eat the bitter fruit, and we can't ignore it. You see, the retribution will come. We should do good deeds in the future." Hua Manlou said with his hands and ten words.

Dongfang Bai watched the elder bring the carriage, glanced at Huaman corridor, "Then what should we do, I don't want him to ruin the good mood." Dongfang Bai knew that she had put down everything she said and didn't care anymore. But seeing Linghu Chong still felt uncomfortable.

"Find a distant inn and put him there, just to prevent him from starving to death. I don't know what to say about other things. These things have already passed. Why can't he control himself?" Hua Manlou thought thought about it.

"Otherwise, why would he be called Linghu Chong? He was born!" Dongfang Bai spread his hands.

"Then what does your name Dongfang Bai mean?" Hua Manlou couldn't help asking.

"I heard from my patriarchal parents that when I was born, the sky was bright and the east was white. It happened that my family name was Dongfang, so I called it Dongfangbai." Dongfangbai couldn't help feeling a little sad when he thought of his parents who abandoned him and his younger sister.

Seeing Dongfang Bai's gloomy expression, Hua Manlou stopped talking and looked at the old man.
