Rice bug

In a restaurant in Yangzhou, a box on the second floor.

Li Yan is the villager, and he is warmly inviting the two of them to have a drink together.Behind the half-covered screen, the sound of the piano is clanging, the fragrance of women's makeup and powder is shuttled under the nose, and the smell of wine spreads. Looking out from here, the moonlight on the lake under the night is like scales.

The scenery was pleasant and the night breeze was just right, but Zang Feilong was not very happy.

Lin Dong couldn't eat anymore, but he was still salivating over those delicate snacks. Li Yan was a wink, and raised his hand to introduce: "This is called flower candy, and it's made of real flower petals."

"Raw?" Zang Feilong frowned. Can this kind of food be eaten?

Li Yan saw what he was thinking, and said gently: "Although it is raw, there will be no problem. The taste is very fresh."

Zang Feilong was not interested, and was just about to say that girls like these things at first glance, but before the words came out of his mouth, Lin Dong had already picked up a piece.

"..."

Lin Dong looked around, then took it under his nose and asked, "Fragrant."

Li Yan said with a smile: "It is poured with burnt sugar water, and there is also a snack called flower root, which is shredded sugar poured on the flowers, very crisp."

Lin Dong grunted, stuffed the petals into his mouth and chewed.

Zang Feilong couldn't help becoming nervous, and said in a low voice, "How?"

"...Well, this taste is so complicated." Lin Dong frowned, closed his eyes, raised his jaw slightly, and bulged his cheeks.

Li Yan saw it interestingly, "What kind of complicated method?"

"The petals are very soft, but it feels like eating paper, but it is less dry than paper."

Li Yan was drinking from a wine glass, and almost spit out when he heard the words, "Paper? Hahahaha, this is the first time I've heard of this analogy!"

Zang Feilong looked at it for a long time, then simply picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew.

After a while, he said: "It really does."

Lin Dong opened his eyes and looked at him, "Really?"

"Hmm...but it's sweet and chewy, which feels weird."

"That's why it's complicated." Lin Dong sandwiched another slice, "This touch is addictive."

Zang Feilong hummed for a while, then picked up a slice and continued to eat.

Li Yan just looked at the two of them speechlessly, one piece of you, one piece of me, one piece of me, and one piece of you, and they ate a big plate in a short while.

Behind the screen, the sound of the piano stopped for a while, and there was an abrupt silence.

"Ahem." Li Yan picked up his wine glass and sipped lightly, "You two are really interesting, where do you come from?"

"Luoyang." Lin Dong licked the corner of his mouth and said.

Zang Feilong put down his chopsticks and picked up a glass of wine, and was about to drink when his sleeve was pulled.Lowering his head, the child was staring at him eagerly.

The man frowned, "You can't drink."

Lin Dong was dissatisfied, "It's not like I haven't had a drink before."

"Drink whatever you want at home, and you can't drink it when you go out." Seeing Lin Dong pouted, Zang Feilong added, "Drinking is a mistake."

Lin Dong turned his head and continued to eat snacks, Li Yan's eyes turned between the two, with a bit of clarity on his face.

"I thought you were masters and servants, but it seems that I misunderstood."

"Master and servant?" Zang Feilong frowned, "Which eye is wrong with you?"

Li Yan didn't mind, he chuckled lightly: "I offended you, I don't know the name of this brother?"

"My name is……"

"Lin Feilong." Lin Dong spoke first, "My name is Lin Dong, and he is my elder brother."

"So it's my brother." Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then he was embarrassed, "I was thinking about it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Zang Feilong took a sip of wine calmly, he didn't want to tell people his name honestly.Just looking at Li Yan's expression, it seems that he has misunderstood more than once?

Li Yan picked up the wine glass and bumped it with Zang Feilong, "I'll punish myself with a glass. If there was anything unreasonable before, I hope Brother Lin will forgive me!"

Zang Feilong drank it in one gulp and sighed, "Good wine."

Li Yan smiled, "Brother Lin is as long as he is satisfied." He paused, and then said, "Brother Lin, don't think I'm too talkative, it's just...you two really don't look like brothers."

Lin Dong nodded, "Because it wasn't born by a mother."

Zang Feilong almost spit out his wine after taking a sip of wine, but after thinking about it...it really wasn't born by a mother.

Li Yan laughed and waved his hands, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. It seems that Brother Lin's family is still a big family?"

Zang Feilong opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Lin Dong took the conversation away again.

"It wasn't born of a father either."

"..."

There was an awkward silence in the room.Li Yan opened his mouth several times, but couldn't find anything to answer, so he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Zang Feilong calmly said: "When the family grows, it will be chaotic."

"..." This is really messy, Li Yan stared at the table and thought silently.

Zang Feilong filled another glass for himself, and Li Yan quickly poured it in too.He originally wanted to have a relationship with the two of them first, and it would be more convenient to talk about things after getting closer, but who knew that it would be embarrassing now.

After thinking about it, he changed the direction of the wine glass that he brought to his mouth, put it on the table, and said: "Actually, I asked the two of you to stop because I have something to ask."

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zang Feilong.Zang Feilong had no expression on his face, the so-called no one should go to the Three Treasures Hall, not to mention that they didn't know each other at all, they were not so stupid as to be so hospitable to Yangzhou people, when they saw a stranger, they must treat them with good wine and good food. People will come to your door, so there is naturally something to do.

Lin Dong put down his chopsticks, sat upright and looked at people, Li Yan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this matter is actually not troublesome."

Don't worry, you will go around such a big circle?Lin Dong and Zang Feilong thought at the same time.

Seeing that Zang Feilong also put down his wine glass, Li Yan said sternly: "You two have just arrived in Yangzhou not long ago, so I'm afraid you don't know many things. In fact, there have been thieves in Yangzhou these days, and they are also flower pickers."

A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Dong's eyes, he didn't expect this to happen.

Zang Feilong said silently in his heart: What's wrong with him recently?Why do one or two want to associate him with that flower picker?

Seeing that the two were silent, Li Yan thought they didn't know, so he continued: "This incident started a month ago. The first victim was the youngest son of a fisherman's family. He just turned seventeen. The same thing happened again the next day. The victims were the son of the bookstore owner and the son of the grocery store. They were both 17 years old. Although the yamen immediately started an investigation, the victim said no because it was difficult to talk about it. It is clear, and it is said that the person covered his face and could not see his face."

Li Yan was also a little embarrassed, scratched his face, and said: "This flower picker only picks male flowers. Although the yamen began to suspect some people, but later there is evidence that those people are innocent. This matter is hanging like this , In the following month, a victim appeared almost every five or six days, and the most recent case was three days ago, when a local named Zhangcheng was victimized."

Lin Dong said, "That Zhang Cheng doesn't look like he's 17 years old."

"Yes, Zhang Cheng is the only one who is a little older. He is quite special... There are rumors that he is the male favorite of a rich family."

Speaking of this, Li Yan was surprised, "Have you seen Zhang Cheng?"

"I just saw it today." Lin Dong smiled, and then briefly talked about what happened during the day.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen." Li Yan was also surprised, and then pondered: "What does Zhangcheng mean?"

Zang Feilong spun the wine glass and said, "Why don't you tell me, what do you want us to do?"

Li Yan chuckled, he looked energetic and looked very sunny, if he hadn't met under such circumstances, he might have been someone Lin Dong would have been willing to make friends with in the first place.

Lin Dong watched him take out a money bag from his sleeve, and from the bulging appearance, he knew that there was a lot of money in it.

"I have no other intentions." Li Yan said: "Looking at the two of you, I'm afraid you don't lack this. I can't think of what to give at the moment, why don't you tell me what you need later, and I'll send it."

Zang Feilong didn't even look at it, and said directly: "Don't do these petty tricks, talk about business."

Li Yan nodded, "Actually, I have someone I know. He is only 17 years old. My family is afraid that he will be selected next. Although I have hired many guards, I still feel unreliable. I also came out today to see if there is any People who don't have better kung fu, who would have bumped into you..."

As he said, his eyes fell on Zang Feilong, "Brother Lin knows kung fu at first glance, and I guess, his kung fu is not low, right?"

The big knife alone is already conspicuous.

Zang Feilong raised his jaw, "I'm not bragging, so far, I have never been defeated."

Li Yan's eyes lit up, "That's great! Please help me, both of you!"

Lin Dong blinked, "Is the person you know also from the Li family?"

"No, his surname is not Li, and his family is just an ordinary merchant. It's just that we often visit and become friends after getting acquainted."

"You are very kind to your friends." Lin Dong smiled, then turned to look at Zang Feilong, who frowned, obviously not interested.

"If you catch him, you can clear your suspicion." Li Yan added another sentence.

This sentence made Zang Feilong frowned, "What if he is not selected?"

"Brother Lin, please stay by his side until the man is caught." Li Yan said sincerely, "During this period, I will be responsible for all your expenses."

Zang Feilong snorted, "How can we do that? We have other things to do, and Yangzhou is just passing by."

Li Yan was a little anxious, and looked at Lin Dong as if asking for help.

Lin Dong rolled his eyes, "It's better to take the initiative to attack than to wait on the sidelines."

Li Yan's eyes lit up, "What do you mean?"

"How about putting a bait and hooking him out?"

Zang Feilong squeezed his fist, "Good idea."

Li Yan worried: "But this bait..."

"I'll go." Lin Dong said casually, "I'm 17 anyway."

"No!" It was Zang Feilong who answered him with a shocking rage.
