devil may cry

Chapter 1. Stranger

His father once told him that when faced with the things he loves, he can be timid and not shrink back, and he has to do it anyway!

He asked: What if... the person you like?

Father leaned forward and rushed over: "Who is so? Who is it?"

"..."

"Do you still need to ask?" His father patted him on the head: "It is not inherited from your father and me at all! Come, come, I will teach you the four-character mantra for my father, remember: death, no, want, face .”

He looked at his self-excited father speechlessly, and felt that he was so shameless that he couldn't do anything.

There is a cousin in my family, who is two months younger than me, so he should be his younger brother, but the other party never calls him elder brother.

He gave himself a trick: "You trick people here. Hey! Isn't I practicing that "Stunning Nine Wilds" recently... Oh no, I mean, brother will help you! Brother, this charm is no one. We are all brothers of our own family, so don’t be polite to me, what’s yours is mine...hey, don’t go, look at your stinginess..."

Still in the same family, he also has a cousin.

The cousin said: "Girls have thin skins, brother, you must not force yourself or act recklessly."

The above is when he was 15 years old.These three relatives, looking at the world, are really unreliable.

On the opposite side, three carpenters were invited to repair the gate of the century-old building. They were a few guys from the carpenter's shop on West Street.From Shenshi onwards, dinglings rattled, making Zhu Yankai unable to fall asleep until Youshi, so she could only get up in a daze, sitting on the threshold, eating melon seeds, basking in the sunset, squinting at the new arrival today people.

Just an ordinary young man, only in his early twenties, with a black bag that is neither new nor old on his back, black from head to toe, standing on the side with his head down, not moving and not speaking Like a wooden stake, Zhu Yankai ate two catties of melon seeds here without seeing him move.

In their own house, the Yu couple were oiling the seven-foot son-in-law Avalokitesvara of Mr. Wu on West Street. Hearing that Mr. Wu's eldest grandson-in-law was pregnant, the old man was so happy that he sent this great god to her shop to take care of it. Feasting for residents with a radius of hundreds of miles has been lively these two days.Except for the North Street where they are located, as always, it is deserted.

Zhu Yankai moved around the door, shading the sun from time to time, wiping the ashes on the threshold, and finally made Yu Shishen look up: "Shopkeeper, can you eat less? Can you torment me?"

This was the beginning of the conversation, and Zhu Yankai threw down her sack of fragrant melon seeds, and went to the lobby: "You tell me, when will the person opposite come to visit?"

"How do you know people are coming?"

Zhu Yan waved her hand, "Hey, this is our territory!"

Yu Shishen covered the Avalokitesvara made of white jade with flannelette, carried it into the elm cabinet with built-in cushions by his wife, and said with a smile: "He has the land deed and the house deed, and there are many. Besides, Mr. Yan has a lot of background, we can't mess with it." rise."

"Miss Zhu can be offended!" Zhu Yankai waved her small pink fist, gritted her teeth and replied viciously.Ji Huo touched the top of her hair, "Shopkeeper, I'll go to West Street."

"Be careful not to knock, come back earlier, if Master Wu invites you to dinner..." Yu Shishen stopped suddenly, as if he was considering whether to take advantage of this advantage or not.

Zhu Yankai understood him very well: "Come on, old Wu doesn't have the guts!"

As soon as Ji Huo drove the carriage to see Guanyin, Zhu Yankai and Yu Shishen leaned together in front of the counter, elbowed him, and smiled slyly: "Tell me, what do you see?"

Yu Shishen squinted at her; "Why is it Old Wu?"

"I'm used to it. Anyway, he's so... so much older than me, so he can't be called Xiao Wu."

"Actually, there are more than these two names." In the middle of speaking, Zhu Yankai raised his hand to pull his ear, and he quickly changed the subject: "Morning. When I opened the door in the morning, I went to talk to him. He didn't know what to do when he asked, and I didn't know." It's not easy to ask. But..." He glanced at the door.

"I'll sweep the melon seeds myself, tell me quickly!"

Yu Shishen immediately lowered his voice, "But I see him, his complexion is pale, and his body is weak."

"Naturally, these are nothing," he said immediately after seeing Zhu Yankai's contemptuous expression, "It's mainly because of his hands: the tips of his ten fingers are blue, the belly of his fingers is slightly sunken, and it's obviously difficult to bend his hands when he raises them to bow to me."

Zhu Yankai suddenly raised her head, frowned and said, "Could it be that he was really poisoned?" But if he was poisoned, why didn't he seek medical treatment?Still running to this small place to open an inn?

Just now she looked at the man at the door for a long time, it wasn't because she was bored or interested, but she saw the clue at a glance after ten years of medical practice.Hearing what Yu Shishen said at this time, he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"I don't know about this one. But he claims his surname is Yan, and his first name is Yangchen. I don't think it's true." Yu Shishen stood up straight, and patted his short shopkeeper, "It's better not to mess with him."

"Sister Huo is here, what are you afraid of?"

It was almost dusk at this time, and the Xuanhu Jianyu Hall was getting dark, Yu Shishen took a lamp to light it, and said in a leisurely tone, "Bright spears are easy to hide."

After a stick of incense, Ji Huo came back soon, as Zhu Yankai said, Master Wu didn't keep her for dinner.Not going to work today, the three of them sat and ate in the spacious lobby, like a family of three.

Yu Shishen and Ji Huo are a couple, both from Lingnan, and they are both in their twenties this year.The Yu family is a well-known business family in Lingnan, and they are taken care of by the Xue family locally. Yu Shishen is the second child of the Yu family, and has an older sister who is now in charge of the family's business.He didn't have that kind of thought. After he got married, he took his wife to travel around the mountains and rivers. After seeing the southwestern part of the Central Plains, he returned to his hometown and planned to rest for two years before going out. His eldest sister didn't bother to care about him.

It's not easy for Yu Ji's family to confuse this person, her mother is the famous Ji Heng.

This store was bought by Zhu Yankai, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, the richest man in the Central Plains.Zhu Yankai was twenty-eight years old and studied medicine at the age of six. This year was exactly ten years old. She once had a pulse diagnosis for the Holy Majesty, and the emperor liked her for being eccentric.Her family is not from a scholarly family, and the most important thing is that she is rich, so she is not like that well-behaved young lady.

At the end of the meal, someone knocked on the door.Bang bang bang, no more, no less, just three times, they waited, but there was no more.

"It's a coincidence," Yu Shishen glanced at the dining table behind the wind and clouds, got up and opened the door, outside the door was Yan Yangchen they had talked about during the day.

He was still wearing the black clothes that didn't match his temperament, and he was paler, with a delicate face, his forehead was in front of his eyes, and he stood tall and straight, but he felt weak.

Zhu Yan happily said obediently, she didn't take what she said in the daytime seriously, she never thought that this person could be regarded as a good person.I hadn't seen him up close before, now that I had a chance, I immediately stood up and jumped over: "Let me see, let me see!" It was so fast that Ji Huo didn't hold her back, daughter.

Here Yu Shishen and Yan Yangchen were bowing to each other, Zhu Yankai bounced and rubbed against each other, Yan Yangchen subconsciously straightened up, and took half a step back, as if surprised.

Zhu Yankai stood still suddenly, and the two sides were awkward for a moment.

"...It's not the right time to come down, visit another day, and leave." In the silence, Yan Yangchen was about to turn around and leave, but just now the girl jumped in front of him to block the way: "I'm not free another day! Bring a meeting gift Is it gone?"

Yan Yangchen seemed to be startled, his expression was in a trance: "There is..."

"Bring it!"

Plates of exquisite pastries were served on the table, Zhu Yankai couldn't help but put her face on them, and praised vaguely: "It's so delicious! Who made it?"

Yan Yangchen has been invited into the room, sat on the side and said with a smile: "My servant."

"Whatever it is, just say I am." Zhu Yankai didn't even look at him, and continued to eat and drink, "Come on, say it again, 'I did it'."

Yan Yangchen looked at the Yu couple at the side, held back for a while, and said, "I did it."

Zhu Yankai gave him a look of approval, but ignored him.

"Mr. Yan is really polite. We will be neighbors from now on. We have not had time to visit, so we asked you to come first." Taking advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper didn't care to speak, Yu Shishen started chatting with Yan Yangchen.He had already seen this person's watertightness during the day, so he didn't want to make fun of himself at this time.

"Should be."

"Young master, what do you want to do for a living?"

Asked him during the day, he said he hadn't figured it out yet.There used to be an inn business there, with a large area and a lot of rooms. Apart from continuing to be an inn, Yu Shishen couldn't think of what else this young man wanted to do.

Sure enough: "Inn."

"Alright. The place to rest is secluded." Apart from this sentence, Yu Shishen couldn't think of anything else to say about this deserted street.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty, but Mr. Yu's master's house is named 'Yan Kai'?" Yan Yangchen asked softly, keeping his eyes away from the scene at the dinner table.

"Yes, yes..." Yu Shishen did not dare to look.

"When I came down, I saw that the original name of the inn was 'Yan Kai'. I felt that there was no need to change the name. I wonder if it offends Ms. Zhu."

Yu Shishen looked towards "Girl Pig"; "No. You can use it if you like."

Hearing these words, Yan Yangchen was a little relieved, he said the words and gave the gift, the first visit was only available, and he planned to leave. "Girl Pig" didn't care about him, she nodded at him and continued to bury her head.Yu Shishen sent it outside the door: "Young Master, I am laughing at you. My shopkeeper is still young, so I have offended you."

However, Yan Yangchen raised a smile: "Where, Miss Zhu... Shopkeeper Zhu has a bold temper, and he is a worthy person."

I don't know if he heard the conversation between the two of them, but the bold shopkeeper Zhu suddenly yelled inside: "Then what is Mr. Yang! Ah? Oh, the surname is Yan. Whatever you want. Hey! I accept your cake today, and I will accept it later. But it's a family! What's the matter with this girl covering you..."

Meeting for the first time, meeting by chance.

Yan Yangchen smiled lightly when he heard the words, and raised his hand to leave.
