Kaifeng Bistro

This result made Tan Zhifeng's heart ache. He felt that he was doing the right thing, but it seemed that doing the right thing was not always so pleasant.

"It should be like this." He whispered to himself: "It would have been better if it had been like this earlier."

Seeing Tan Zhifeng's pale face, Xu Yan took off his worn-out padded robe and put it on Tan Zhifeng, put his arms around his shoulders, and led him to the door.

Tan Zhifeng suddenly felt an unprecedented warmth, although it might just be his illusion, at the same time he felt the weak spiritual power in his body become full.

The three people squatting at the door had already disappeared without a trace. Xu Gan lifted the curtain, but he didn't go in.

"It's too late," he said, "I must go back."

Tan Zhifeng thought of Xu Gan's son, and asked, "What about Ling'er when you come out?"

"Let others look at it for a while." Xu Gan said, "So I have to go back. I'll come back tomorrow. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it then."

Tan Zhifeng said "Okay", Xu Gan took two steps back and walked to the low wall. He raised one hand to hook the top of the wall, and smiled slightly at Tan Zhifeng: "Brother, look after me. My kung fu Not bad either."

Tan Zhifeng also showed a smile before he knew it: "Of course, you have defeated any section of the iron tower."

Xu Gan exerted strength with his arms, supported the low wall with a light leap, and disappeared on the other side of the wall.Tan Zhifeng stood there, but heard another light knock on the wall.Xu Gan tapped three times unhurriedly, and said, "I'm leaving."

Tan Zhifeng didn't answer this time, and after a while, there was silence on the other side of the wall.

Tan Zhifeng took off Xu Gan's worn cotton coat, went into the house and locked the door.He suddenly regretted that his tavern didn't sell alcohol, and now he really wanted to have a good drink.

He turned around slowly, but was taken aback by the three people sitting neatly in front of him: "You... what are you doing?"

"We thought maybe you needed some comfort." Zhuo Zhuo stood up and pulled Tan Zhifeng to the table: "Cry, cry, I won't laugh at you, and neither will Changshang. Yiyi, I can't guarantee it."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Yi Yi again: "Ah, I really admire you, only you can make such a ruthless trick, my long-lost brother! How did you think of it?"

"Is this difficult?" Yi Yi said unhurriedly, "Tan Zhifeng himself said that Yinglong's reincarnation is either rich or expensive. Do you think he will really become a blacksmith?!"

"People have missed, horses have stumbled... Besides, isn't his three souls damaged? This is not a normal reincarnation?" Zhuo Zhuo couldn't help but talk to Yi Yi.

"Hehe, people, horses, and you can do it, but Yinglong can't, he is the dragon god, OK?" Yi Yi glanced at Tan Zhifeng again: "Okay, what's the matter with brothers, everyone in the world is brothers, here we go It seems like the sky is about to fall over here, the key now is to save your life, what else can you do if your life is gone?"

"I...do I look...depressed?" Tan Zhifeng raised his head and asked, "Did Xu Yan also notice it just now?"

"You...you just look like you want to cry." Shangshang stared at Tan Zhifeng for a while and replied, "Brother Zhifeng, do you want to cry?"

"No—I want to." Tan Zhifeng replied after thinking for a while, and at the same time, he stood up.Today was a very long day. First, Xu Gan had a fight with Zhan Zhao, and then Chen Qing had a fight with Zhan Zhao. He even went to the Guangwen Museum to issue a good person card...to catch the thief, solve the case, Acknowledging relatives... Life can't be more perfect if it is complete.

"Yo? What is this?" Zhuo Zhuo was about to rest, but he stepped on something on the ground.

"Zhang Shanchu's story book?" Yi Yi picked it up with his head down, and shook his head disdainfully: "Look at these officials, they are more sloppy than you in doing things."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Zhuo Zhuo snatched the script from Yi Yi's hand: "Show me!"

"Hmph, this is a lonely book, I will never give it to you." Yi Yi held up the book, jumping his feet anxiously.Seeing her trying to climb up the stool, Tan Zhifeng propped his feet and raised his hand, and the storybook was in his hand: "Don't grab it, go to bed early, do you want to start work tomorrow?"

"I want to remind you that it will be the end of the month in a few days. If we can't pay the rent by then, we will really have to sleep on the street, understand?!" Tan Zhifeng said as he walked upstairs.

"This is something you and Yi Yi should worry about!" Zhuo Zhuo said to his back.

Tan Zhifeng waited for a while, but no one went upstairs. Although the other three danced happily just now, they must have been exhausted.After all, their transformation time is still short, they can't last so long, and they can't stand such a day of tossing.

"Zhangtai willow, Zhangtai willow, can you keep it until the end of spring and people will return? The garden tree lives in new swallows every year, why bother to send it to the prefect?" Tan Zhifeng couldn't sleep, so he took the story book and flipped through it casually. Sure enough, As Zhuo Zhuo said, after Tiejiang Wang redeemed the oiran A Liu, he went to the frontier alone to fight.

Tan Zhifeng put the book away carefully, ready to rest.He was also very tired today, but as soon as he closed his eyes, various pictures began to flicker in front of his eyes again...

After a while, Aliu rushed towards him with a burning face: "Wang Lang, don't go!" After a while, Zhan Zhao immediately swung his saber, with his brows bristling, and said sharply, "I am the Dragon God Guard from all four chambers. Wang Jingheng, Commander and Defense Envoy of Yongzhou! How can you be so ungrateful and dare to invade the territory of our Great Song Dynasty..."

Gold and iron horses, rolling yellow sand, loud shouts and neighing in his ears, and in a blink of an eye, the smoke and dust dissipated, and an old man he had never seen looked at him kindly: "Oh, you really look like Chu'er when he was a child." !" Yi Yi shook the money bag at him: "Tan Zhifeng, go to sleep on the street." Shangshang hugged his thigh: "Brother Zhifeng, you have a brother too!"

……

Zhangtai willow, Zhangtai willow, can you keep it until the end of spring?

Tan Zhifeng walked forward slowly. After a long time, he gradually felt the breath of spring.The breeze stroked the long low-hanging willow branches. Waiting for him at the end of the road was a young man dressed in red and white. shine.

Tan Zhifeng stopped anxiously.He was almost out of breath, and he wanted all this to turn into a dream and end quickly.There was a deep panic in his heart, for fear that what he started was some kind of unpredictable ending.

Seeing that he was no longer approaching him, the young man walked towards him.The two got closer and closer, and the appearance of the man became clearer.This is a person he has guarded for more than 20 years, but through those dark eyes, he has vaguely captured the soul that has accompanied him for thousands of years.They once soared in the clouds and dived deep into the bottom of the river. They once walked hand in hand, sat side by side, and lived together in the remote mountains.

Tan Zhifeng knew him better than Tan Zhifeng knew himself.Tan Zhifeng's curiosity towards him at the beginning turned into gratitude, gratitude turned into admiration, admiration turned into attachment, and finally all these merged together and turned into a feeling that Tan Zhifeng himself could not describe.

The man didn't say anything to him, just watched him quietly.It seems to be appreciating, and it seems to be identifying something.When he finally spoke, Tan Zhifeng thought he would ask "Who are you?"

But he said, "It's you. I've seen you."

He stretched out his hand towards himself, and Tan Zhifeng finally couldn't help it. For thousands of years, he had never had such an opportunity to feel the other party's existence so close and clearly.He turned into a white mist again and dissipated in the silky willows.

The young man stepped forward quickly, trying to hold back the scattered white light with his outstretched hand. At this moment, a breeze caressed his cheek, his eyes darkened, and what happened at that moment just disappeared in his mind. .

Tan Zhifeng worriedly watched the man anxiously looking around for him, he was still dizzy from nervousness.He stopped on the branch, calming down his spiritual energy that was flowing too fast.

Finally, the wind carried away the warmth of spring, and Tan Zhifeng also calmed down.He opened his eyes, and it was dawn.

……

"Brother Zhifeng, brother Zhifeng! You also have a brother!"

Tan Zhifeng got up wearily, tied up the two messy buns that looked at him happily, and patted his head: "Well, let's go to work and earn money to pay the rent."

The two of them stepped up the stairs and walked down together. The dilapidated stairs under their feet creaked. Just halfway there, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

Tan Zhifeng wondered, so early, he hadn't started preparations yet, who would be here?Moreover, the knock on the door was urgent and loud, not like those frail scholar guests nearby.

Tan Zhifeng responded "Come on", went downstairs a few steps and opened the door latch.Before he could react, the curtain of the door was lifted with a whoosh, and standing at the door was the middle-aged man who rented the house to them the day before.

This man was called Chen Dafu, and Tan Zhifeng had often heard these scholars complain about him.He took care of the houses in the whole alley of Wheatstraw Lane for others, and he would rip off the tenants at every turn, but if there was a leak in the roof or a leak in the window, he never cared about it and scolded the guests living in it.

He has never harassed Tan Zhifeng's tavern, but from time to time he would sneak over from the alley and glance at him.Tan Zhifeng was still a little surprised, unexpectedly he found him today.

Before Chen Dafu could speak, Yi Yi had already come out from behind the counter and stood in front of Tan Zhifeng: "Mr. Chen, the end of the month hasn't arrived yet? What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing?" Chen Dafu squinted his slightly protruding eyes, with his hands behind his back, followed by a few servants with broad arms and round waists: "When you come to collect rent at the end of the month, you might run away, so what should I do? You guys?" ah……"

He raised his hand fiercely and nodded at Yiyi, then pointed at Tan Zhifeng, "Country boy, I don't know the rules in our Kaifeng city! You are renting this shop for the first month, and the deposit has not been paid in full. I complained hard for a while. Let me tell you, if you don’t pay me all the rent for a year today, you can pack up and leave me!”

"One year?" Tan Zhifeng suspected that he heard it wrong, "Didn't you say half a year?"

"I just thought you were pitiful at the beginning!" Chen Dafu crossed his hips, and asked his servants to throw Tan Zhifeng's broken basket on the ground: "Just a few clothes, a few broken books, sent to the pawn shop, not even a penny of money Come……"
