Rice bug

Of course, Zang Feilong didn't say the "secret" three days ago. The Yacha invited the innkeeper and confirmed that Lin Dong and Zang Feilong had just moved into the inn.

The magistrate patted the gavel, squinted his eyes and looked at the kneeling people in the hall, "Zhang Cheng, do you have anything to say?"

Zhang Cheng pinched his sleeves, his face seemed to be absent-minded, Lin Dong asked suddenly: "Young Master Zhang said before that he had never seen him during the day, so you can see him clearly at night?"

Zhang Cheng nodded subconsciously, "Yes."

"It was three nights ago? You said that you entered a certain alley in order to take a shortcut. How dare you ask where the light comes from in the alley in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Cheng paused, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Moonlight."

"Moon? Very bright?"

"Very bright."

Lin Dong shrugged, "As far as I know, it rained heavily three nights ago, and the clouds were so dense that there was no moonlight."

Zhang Cheng's face turned pale, and he was speechless for a long time. The magistrate also remembered, "It did rain heavily three nights ago. I remember you borrowed an umbrella when you patrolled in the middle of the night."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to the Yacha, who also nodded in agreement.

"I...maybe it's me, I've got the wrong person..." Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Zhang Cheng immediately changed his words.

Zang Feilong sneered, "That's a pretty good plan. If you can't expose your lie, I will somehow take the blame."

Zhang Cheng didn't say a word, his head almost dropped to his chest, the prefect was impatient, "Since you admit your mistake, let's leave."

He yawned, got up and flicked his sleeves, squinting and said: "Zhangcheng, I don't have so much time to listen to you admitting the wrong person, and next time, the board will serve you."

"Yes..." Zhang Cheng replied like a mosquito.

"Forget it?" After leaving the government office, Zang Feilong was still puzzled.Lin Dong was thoughtful, and turned his head to see Zhang Cheng's thin back passing by.

"Hey!" Zang Feilong frowned and stopped him, "Don't go! What's going on!"

Zhang Cheng glanced at him, then lowered his head to look at the stone steps under his feet, "I mistook someone, I'm sorry."

"..." If it wasn't at the gate of the government office, if it wasn't on the busy street, Zang Feilong might have to beat this man up first.

But Zhang Cheng was a very strange person, with a deadpan face and aloof and indifferent breath, as if nothing could impress him. He obviously blamed others for no reason, yet he acted like he had nothing to do with him.

Zang Feilong's anger was like hitting cotton, but he couldn't exert any strength.

Lin Dong looked at Zhang Cheng for a while, then glanced at the waiter who followed behind him.

"Masters." The little girl said, "Do you want to go back to the inn?"

"Hmm..." Lin Dong blinked, "Are there any snacks in Yangzhou?"

"What do you want to eat, young master? I'll let the cook do it." Xiao Er said with a smile, but if you look carefully, you will find that he casually glanced at Zhang Cheng a few times.

Zang Feilong didn't see this little movement, but Lin Dong did.

He said nonchalantly: "You ask the cook to make some Yangzhou special dishes, just a little bit of each, not too much, and it's time for dinner again in a while."

The little girl agreed, turned around and trotted down the stone steps towards the inn.That Zhangcheng glanced at the other party, and also walked down the stone steps. When the figures of the two disappeared, Lin Dong touched his chin and said, "It's strange..."

Zang Feilong snorted, "Why is it so strange to think about it so soon?"

Lin Dong wrinkled his nose, "I'm not talking about food, I'm talking about Zhang Cheng, he seems to know that Xiao Er."

"So what." Zang Feilong walked forward with his arms folded, "Didn't he say that he is a local, maybe he knew him when he often appeared here."

"It's also possible." Lin Dong followed him step by step, "But you said, why were we being targeted as soon as we entered the city? Do you have enemies here?"

"Fart." Zang Feilong said nonchalantly, "I haven't traveled far since I established the cottage."

"But you have robbed a lot of goods, what if someone recognizes them?"

Having said that, Zang Feilong was not quite clear, scratching the back of his neck, "Or maybe it was just because the flower picker was forced by the government to have no way out, so he wanted to find a substitute to take the blame."

"There are so many people coming and going in Yangzhou City every day, why is it you?"

"..." Zang Feilong gave up and waved his hands, "Then what do you think is going on?!"

"Or we offended someone but didn't know it." Lin Dong looked thoughtfully at the road ahead.

Zang Feilong squinted at him. The child's face was full of seriousness, and his big eyes were shining brightly. He mumbled without thinking, "I offended people only on the bright side, and you are the last one." The one who easily offends others but doesn’t know it.”

Although he said this casually, Lin Dong suddenly froze. He clapped his hands, "Ah! You're right!"

Zang Feilong was puzzled, "I'm not praising you."

Lin Dong nodded, "I know."

"That……"

"But you are right, maybe I did offend someone." Lin Dong laughed, "Not long after we first entered Yangzhou."

Zang Feilong didn't know what Lin Dong had discovered, but he was sure that Lin Dong had completely let go and was no longer so cautious.

While eating snacks, Zang Feilong sat aside and drank tea. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out who they had offended when they first entered Yangzhou. He couldn't help asking curiously: "Who is it? The one who gave you dates? Or invited you?" The one that eats fish?"

"I have always been very polite when it comes to food." Lin Dong said with extra confidence.

The corner of Zang Feilong's mouth twitched, "I can't think of anyone else."

The corners of Lin Dong's mouth curled up, and small dimples appeared on the corners of his tender lips. He took a shortbread and put it in his mouth to bite, but he didn't reply.

In the evening, the two went shopping and had dinner in the lobby on the first floor.

The shopkeeper is not there, but a young man is here.Wearing a dark cloth shirt, combing his hair meticulously, with good facial features, he looks like an honest man.

When Lin Dong walked to the counter, the man was bending over to pick up a jar of wine. He was stunned when he saw Lin Dong, and then his eyes fell on Zang Feilong behind him.

"The two masters are going out?"

"Let's eat first, let Xiao Er's pot of wine come." Zang Feilong walked straight from the counter and sat down at the long table in the middle of the lobby.

Lin Dong's pace slowed down, his eyes looked up and down the man.

The man smiled and said, "What else do you need, young master?"

"Who are you?" Lin Dong asked crisply.

"I am the son of the shopkeeper here." The man said, "I watch over here for my father every night. He is old and needs to rest more."

"Oh." Lin Dong nodded, and chatted with him lying on the cabinet, "You are the son mentioned by the shopkeeper."

The man said: "Has my father mentioned me?"

"Before I saw a landscape painting in the house, when I asked the shopkeeper about it, he said it was made by you."

The man lowered his eyes, put the wine jar on the other side, took out an account book and flipped it over, while dialing the abacus.

"It turns out that the person my father said was you."

"Well, I made a little suggestion." Lin Dong smiled and said, "I hope you don't mind."

"No." The abacus was tick-tocked, and the man said: "Young master is also a person who likes calligraphy and painting?"

"I just know a thing or two." Lin Dong said: "Your painting is too gloomy. It is obviously a beautiful river and mountain, but the canyon is cramped and breathless. The branches and branches of the surrounding trees are chaotic, and some trunks are twisted and twisted..."

The sound of the abacus stopped, and the man raised his head. Although he smiled, the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"That's how I paint."

"Oh." Lin Dong blinked, and didn't seem to notice the other party's unhappiness, "I'm just talking about my impressions. This kind of painting makes people feel uncomfortable. Your father said that it can't be sold, which is probably the reason. If you take care Go and see the people and things around you, maybe you can draw better..."

Before the painting was finished, the man suddenly came out from behind the counter. He looked down at Lin Dong and said word by word, "That master seems to be getting impatient."

Only then did Lin Dong turn his head to look at Zang Feilong. As expected, the man shook his knees and watched them talking with displeasure.

Lin Dong smiled, "I think we can chat with you, so I said a few more words."

"Don't dare, the young master is very knowledgeable and well-informed, far beyond what I can wait for." After the man finished speaking, his gaze casually slid around the corners of Lin Dong's lips and fair neck.

Only then did Lin Dong turn around and head towards Zang Feilong's table, and he could hear the conversation between the two after a while.

"What did you say so long? Do you know that person?"

"I don't know each other, I just chatted about calligraphy and painting."

"Calligraphy and painting?" Zang Feilong's voice was dissatisfied, "When did you become interested in calligraphy and painting again? I thought you were only interested in cooks."

……

After dinner, the two of them walked around the Yangzhou night market full of wine and food.

Red lanterns are hung high, and the painted boats on the lake slowly shuttle under the bridge hole. The night wind brings the scent of zither strings and flowers, and vendors selling snacks are shouting on the main street with their poles.There were men and women in expensive clothes going out together, laughing and laughing all the way, it was very lively.

Zang Feilong bought a candied haws for Lin Dong, and was afraid that he would be lost by the crowd, so he took him by the hand.Lin Dong's cheeks were bulging, and his eyes looked around curiously. The pairing of the two of them looked like a young master of some family traveling with an attendant by his side.

Stopping in front of a shadow puppet show full of children, Lin Dong bit his mouth hard, listening to the old man over there telling the story of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty.

A fox on the white cloth turned into a beauty, causing the children below to scream.

Lin Dong started laughing, but Zang Feilong turned his head and looked to the other side.A well-dressed man was walking up to them.

"Two." When he spoke, his eyes fell on Lin Dong, "It seems that they are not from Yangzhou?"

Lin Dong was still watching the play with great interest, Zang Feilong said coldly: "So what if it is? So what if it is not?"

Then the man withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, brother, I have no other intentions. I just want to make friends because of their extraordinary temperament."

As he said that, he took the initiative to introduce himself, "My surname is Li, and I have one word for each name."

The last name is Li?

Zang Feilong became more careful, and said vigilantly: "You are the Li family..."

"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand." Li Yan laughed, "Although my surname is also Li, I am far from the royal family by thousands of miles. I really have to care about it, but I am just a distant relative."

The author has something to say: Rolling and rolling, after traveling, I bought a local snack called crispy pepper.It is hollowed out red peppers, stuffed with glutinous rice and sesame seeds and deep-fried. It is very spicy, fragrant and crispy, very delicious~=W=~
