On the second day, Su Jinshi woke up early, wanting to buy the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by the widow Wang. Xiaodouzi likes to eat sweet things. Although Nian Su never said what he likes to eat, Su Jinshi slowly discovered that Nian Su loved it. Eat sweets, especially pastries.

When she left the inn, the sky was dark, and there were still some stars in the far east, but there were also passers-by on the road. Su Jinshi randomly grabbed someone and asked where Widow Wang was, and then hurried over.

She had passed by this place before during the day, but it was an inconspicuous small alley, but there was a very long queue at this time. Su Jinshi took a look, and after a rough look, there were at least dozens of people in front of her. .

There was a scent wafting from some dark alleys, Su Jinshi was eloquent immediately, she looked at the others, who were also like her, and she was relieved.

Looking at the long queue in front of her, she sighed, regretting why she didn't get up earlier.

Fortunately, there were about a dozen sweet-scented osmanthus cakes when it was her turn. Su Jinshi bought five sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in one go. She had just paid the money when she heard that the people behind her were dissatisfied.

Su Jinshi didn't care, and happily went back with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

When they returned to the inn, Nian Su and Xiaodouzi were still asleep, Su Jinshi put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table, and went out lightly.

At this time, the sky had already brightened a lot, and Su Jinshi was walking happily on the street. There were buns and steamed buns selling steamed buns on the street, steaming steam came out of the steamer, and bursts of fragrance spread all over the streets and alleys.

Su Jinshi couldn't help but bought two white steamed buns, and ate them as he walked, feeling that they tasted good.

She walked to the bulletin wall in the city, but saw a paper that helped the government solve the case and gave money. She was a little moved, but also a little puzzled.

It happened that a man who looked like a scholar was also watching beside him, so Su Jinshi asked, "Dare to ask, my lord, is this notice posted by the government?"

When the man looked at Su Jin, he saw that it was a girl, and his tone was a bit unfriendly, "Of course it was posted by the government, women and Taoists should not care about such things."

Su Jinshi frowned, but he didn't want to argue with him, and continued to ask: "Is it true that you will be rewarded here?"

"Of course it's true. This notice has been posted here for a month, but it can't be broken. Originally, the reward was only one tael, but because no one has been able to break it for a long time, it has already risen to ten taels. I see But still no one can break it!" The scholar said with a sigh, and after he finished speaking, he realized that he was talking to a woman, so he frowned.

Su Jinshi nodded thoughtfully, and began to read the notice carefully.

This announcement is about a recent strange case in the Windy City. A month ago, a dead body appeared in the diversion lake of the Windy City. There were scars, but the facial expression of the deceased was very peaceful, not like being killed by someone.

There were not many words written on the announcement. Su Jinshi read it back and forth several times, and after thinking about it, if she wanted to solve the case, she would definitely have to go to the government.

Thinking of this, the sky was completely bright, and Su Jinshi planned to go back to the inn first to talk about it.

Back at the inn, Niansu and Xiaodouzi had already woken up, Xiaodouzi happily ate those sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, Niansu looked at Xiaodouzi with a smile on his face.

Seeing Su Jinshi came back, Nian Su propped his chin with his hand, tilted his head and asked, "Did you buy this sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Su Jinshi sat down with a smile, and seeing that there was one left on the table, he asked, "Is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake delicious?"

Nian Su nodded, "I took a bite just now, and it was delicious. Look at how happy Xiaodouzi is."

When Su Jinshi heard this, she immediately became unhappy. She bought this sweet-scented osmanthus cake specially for Nian Su!Why did Xiaodouzi eat four by himself? !

After eating one, Xiaodouzi stretched out his hand to take another, but Su Jinshi clapped his hands all of a sudden, frowned and said, "Your mother hasn't eaten it yet, so I don't know how to save some for your mother."

Xiaodouzi looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table, then at his mother, immediately gave the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Niansu, and said crisply: "Mother, eat it, Xiaodouzi is full!"

Su Jinshi still felt sorry for those sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, but most of them ended up in Xiaodouzi's stomach. She obviously bought them specially for Nian Su!

Seeing you, Nian Su also took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with a smile, holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in one hand, and put the other under his mouth, eating carefully, Su Jinshi looked a little sad.

Although they have a lot of money, in the long run, the money will not allow them to live for a lifetime.

At this time, Su Jinshi remembered the announcement again, so he tentatively asked: "Susu, I just saw an announcement saying that if you help the government solve the case, you will be rewarded."

Nian Su shook his head subconsciously, "No, it's too dangerous to solve a case. Didn't you forget that you were in Gu's last time?"

Because of Xiaodouzi's presence, Nian Su didn't say everything, but he also strengthened his position.

Su Jinshi naturally understood her worry, but she felt that they needed money more, and she could hardly live in this ancient time. Although she learned how to make wine from Su Xin, if they found a place to settle down, she could open a tavern, but this time At that time, they lived in an inn, so naturally they couldn't settle down and make a living by brewing wine.

Nian Su probably also understood Su Jinshi's worry, she ate the remaining sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said to Su Jinshi, "I can do some sewing..."

Su Jinshi immediately interrupted Nian Su, "No, how can I let you earn money to support me alone? I promise that I will always be careful not to put myself in a dangerous situation. If this case is solved, there will be ten Two silver coins!"

Nian Su lowered his head and did not look at Su Jin, but still refused to compromise.

Su Jinshi sighed, and she said to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi, why don't you go outside and ask Xiaoer to bring some to you early?"

Xiaodouzi was very happy after eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so he went out cheerfully.

Su Jinshi raised his hand and touched Nian Su's head, and said softly: "I don't know many things. I may not be able to make a living here. I don't want to live by you. I may not be able to solve this case. Just wanted to try it out."

In the past, Nian Su couldn't bear Su Jinshi's gentle voice and would obey Su Jinshi, but this time she was extremely firm.

"Jin Shi, I really don't want you to be hurt again. When I saw Gu Shengyun put the knife on your neck that day, I was terrified. I don't want you to do this again..."

Su Jinshi was a little touched, she thought that Nian Su had always been in a passive state, and she was the only one trying to maintain their relationship.

She stood up and hugged Nian Su into her arms. The nephrite jade was warm and fragrant in her arms, and Su Jinshi's heart became soft. She said softly: "Susu, I want you to live a better life. I don’t want you to be frugal every time, and you don’t want to buy clothes, I don’t want you to only eat white steamed buns every time, and you won’t have another meal after this meal..."

Nian Su's eyes were a little red, and she wrapped her arms around Su Jinshi.

"I promise you, I will protect myself and not let you worry, okay?" Su Jinshi's tone became more gentle.

Nian Su buried her head in her arms, and said sullenly, "You promised me, what if you didn't protect yourself well?"

"Then I'll..." Su Jinshi paused, and whispered in Nian Su's ear, "What do you want?"

Su Jinshi's voice was very low, and he whispered in Nian Su's ear, Nian Su couldn't help blushing, at this moment, the door of the inn was opened suddenly, both of them were frightened, they covered their ears with lightning speed move away from each other.

Xiao Douzi came in first, and Xiao Er took some breakfast and put it on the table, and it was also some buns and steamed buns.

Su Jinshi thanked him, but sat down and ate as if nothing had happened. The waiter was still yesterday's waiter, and he didn't leave after delivering breakfast. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Did the two guests go to the place I told you yesterday?" Have you seen those places?"

Su Jinshi took a look at Nian Su, saw that her cheeks were still red, and felt more joyful in her heart, she smiled and said: "Of course I went to see it, the scenery of Yinxie Pavilion is really wonderful, Widow Wang's sweet-scented osmanthus cake It’s also unique.”

Xiao Er showed surprise on his face, but praised: "The two girls can play." After finishing speaking, he changed the subject and said in a solemn tone: "It's just that Fengcheng is not peaceful these days, so the two girls should not go out. Better."

Su Jinshi's face darkened, thinking of the notice she saw today, she asked, "But the person on that notice shot someone again?"

Xiao Er saw the notice when he saw Su Jin, so he said bluntly: "This is not just a shot to hurt people. In the past few months, several girls have been killed. After a few days of disappearance, the bodies floated up on the diversion lake, intermittently. It’s been almost a few years, but the government can’t solve the case, the notice will be changed every other month, but no one can solve it.”

Su Jinshi nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for letting me know, my sister and I will pay attention to it in the next few days."

Xiaoer also didn't stay any longer, closed the door and left, because Xiaodouzi was present, it was not easy for Nian Su to ask Su Jinshi about the case.

"Come and eat some, you just ate one sweet-scented osmanthus cake, you won't be full, eat more." Su Jinshi smiled and pulled Nian Su to sit down.

Nian Su had no intention of eating, and he couldn't swallow it after dawdling for a long time.

Xiaodouzi rolled his eyes. Seeing that the two adults were eating very slowly, he said directly, "Mother, Aunt Jin Shi, I want to go out and play for a while, is that okay?"

Nian Su frowned, "Why do you want to go out to play? Didn't you hear that big brother said that it's dangerous outside?"

Xiaodouzi pouted, "Mother, I'm not going out here, I want to play with Xiaoqing for a while..."

"Who is Xiaoqing?" Su Jinshi asked.

"It's the boss's child. I saw it just now...I want to play with him for a while."

Xiaodouzi's voice was aggrieved, Nian Su sighed, waved his hands and said, "Go and play, don't go with people you don't know, you know?"

Xiaodouzi nodded cheerfully and ran out immediately.

Su Jinshi got up and closed the door. She picked up a bun on the table and stuffed it into Nian Su's hand, "You should eat more, this is a meat bun, it's delicious."

Nian Su took the bun, took a bite, it was thin and filled, and the soup flowed down the corner of his mouth after taking a bite, Su Jinshi swallowed, thinking that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, he felt greedy in his mouth.

After finally finishing eating the Nian Su, Su Jinshi asked with a smile, "Is it good?"

Nian Su nodded, Su Jinshi handed another bun to Nian Su, but Nian Su refused to accept it, "Eat it, I'm full."

Su Jinshi had already eaten four steamed buns, so naturally she couldn't take any more, so she forced them into Nian Su's hands, "Eat quickly, I also ate two steamed buns outside just now, they are also meat buns, they are delicious, hurry up eat!"

Nian Su nodded, and then began to eat.
