[Peacock Ling Liqiu] Puzzled by the autumn wind

The inns were full, and outside, as dusk came, there would be nowhere to go without a place to rest.

The shopkeeper was dozing off, and it was always Xiao Er and another girl who were in charge of making arrangements. Xiao Er, who was sweating profusely, shuttled between the tables, waving a gray towel and holding a kettle in his hand.And that girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, had a pair of big watery eyes under Jian Ye's eyebrows, exuding a fresh breath, and the guests would peek at her from time to time.

This is a very common scene, no matter which inn you go to, you will see this kind of scene, but probably there will no longer be such a beautiful girl, and it may be an aunt or an old man.

Qiu Fengwu walked straight over, came to the counter, and woke up the shopkeeper.He said, "Is there any room?"

The shopkeeper glanced at him and yawned: "No more, there are people living there."

Qiu Fengwu paused, then turned his head to look for a free stool.

Everyone is bowing their heads, drinking, drinking water, drinking tea.Some bent their legs, some swayed their legs, and some slung their legs. They looked at ease, and their expressions were unrestrained, full of the atmosphere of the quack.He looked at the table next to the door. There were two people sitting there, with the bamboo hats he had just taken off in his hands. Same as usual.

He looked at the position on the side of the stairs again, a man in his thirties, with curly hair, delicate features, a thin gown over a high-breasted gown, with fans fanned out, looking suave.Sitting opposite him was another man who looked very similar to him, but with an angry look on his face, frowning and mouth curling, showing a fierce look.

The man had a knife tied around his back, and he hadn't taken it off until now. He let it hang on his shoulders, and cut across the already narrow aisle long, causing guests who wanted to go upstairs to look over unhappily.

Seeing this, Qiu Fengwu smiled, and then heard the shopkeeper say: "There is a room for only one person, if you don't mind..."

"I don't mind." Without thinking about it, he handed out the money from his pocket.When the shopkeeper saw it, his eyes lit up immediately.His originally disinterested expression became enthusiastic, he laughed and said: "This way please, I will take you up."

Qiu Fengwu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

They also passed behind the man, the hilt of the long knife was in the middle, and they really didn't know how to get there.The shopkeeper's words have already been cursed.He said: "My guest, we always have business. Don't you make it difficult for me. I've been talking for several days, but you always don't listen."

It seems that this is a regular customer and has a good temper.The shopkeeper's tone was very aggressive, but he is the owner of the inn, the cashier, the food provider, and the sleeper, so of course, he should be respected.The owner of the folding fan tapped the back of the man's hand with the fan bone, and the man retracted the long knife from horizontal to vertical, and fished it into his arms.

The shopkeeper walked in front, and Qiu Fengwu followed.When passing by these two people, they both looked at him and nodded slightly.Qiu Fengwu also smiled politely, then turned his head away and stopped looking.

They are all from the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't know them.They have the same thing on their bodies, that is the jade pendant tied around their waists.Different from ordinary people's random carvings, this is a vermilion black tortoise pattern, but the tortoise shell is not ordinary stripes, but a human face.Each piece of jade pendant has a different face, and each face represents the identity of each person.

This identity can appear anywhere, but only within the scope of the established identity.For example, Peacock Villa is the same.

Anyone who enters or exits the Peacock Villa will be trapped in the Qimen Dunjia Formation and cannot get out unless someone leads the way.And even the maids who stay inside all the year round have their place, they can't go anywhere.There are hundreds of people in the Peacock Villa, each of whom may have a secret, but the sum of all of them is no match for the secret of the villa itself.

This is a rule that has been formed for a long time, and no one does not abide by it, because no one dares to break it.

The shopkeeper opened the door, and this is the second room on the left from the upper floor. There is a window in the room, and the night wind blows in through the window, just in time to rush out the door again, refreshing the whole body.The store owner went down immediately, and he kept beating his lower back. It seemed that the business was good and bad, and he had no time to rest.

Qiu Fengwu looked around for a moment, then sat down.Two beds, a coffee table, a landscape painting, and a pot of roses.The person who lived with him was not there. He originally thought it would be a beautiful woman.It is not surprising that a person longs to meet a woman, because a girl will be pregnant, so is a boy.

After thinking about it, Qiu Fengwu lowered his head and laughed.Several days of uninterrupted travel made him tired, and the blue ribbon in his hair became loose, and the long strands of hair fell down, one after another, and he couldn't even feel happy about it.So he picked them up as many as possible, put them behind his ears, raised his head and looked at the top of his head.

The candle lamp was on the table, the wick was still brand new, but his state of mind had grown stale within half a year.

As Jin Kaijia said, no matter how far he has gone, no matter how much he does not want to go back, he still has to go back, because his surname is Qiu and he is from Peacock Villa.He did go back, to face the spacious home, the serious and tired father, and the "fairy life" that made him feel empty since he was a child.

But he came out again.

There was a "squeak" sound from the door, and the tossing headwind shook his hair that had been pulled back out.Qiu Fengwu glanced sideways, and was stunned by just this one glance.

The visitor tilted his head and pursed his lips tightly, wondering what he was thinking.He held the door panel with one hand, half of his black hair was tied with a white hair rope, and the other half was scattered behind his shoulders.He was wearing a blue-black gown, with one foot outstretched, and his black boots were stepping on Qiu Fengwu's shadow.His gaze also stayed there, and he glanced at it lightly, not knowing whether he felt the shadow was abrupt or strange.Then, he seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly raised his eyes.

It is really hateful that the meeting after half a year was so natural and felt a little helpless.

Qiu Fengwu reminded: "Sit."

The man pulled a stool around him and sat down.

Qiu Fengwu smiled and said, "Shuangshuang is very nice, did you come out to pick out some brocades for her?"

He asked quickly, and waited for a long time after asking, but there was nothing.The person sitting across from him didn't speak, which made him involuntarily look between his brows.

Just a moment ago, he was still thinking about how tired he was and how far he had walked, but at this moment he wanted to slap himself.It seems that someone has traveled farther than him, and never even cared about the problem of food and clothing. Now his cheeks are slightly sunken, his eye sockets are dark, and he looks tired.Looking carefully, the pair of black boots also brought in some sand. This person probably performed light work and walking at the same time, and even the hem of his clothes was also stained with dust.

This was the first time Qiu Fengwu saw him wearing boots, which made his figure more upright, more majestic, but also more indifferent.

Qiu Fengwu looked at him and called out, "Gao Li, what happened?"

Only then did Gao Li's tense back relax slightly, and he felt as if he wanted to fall down on the ground.He said, "Why are you here?"

Qiu Fengwu smiled and said, "Now I'm asking you."

Gao Lidan said: "Both were taken away."

Qiu Fengwu was startled, his whole body was cold.He suddenly understood what Gao Li was doing, because it was commonplace for Gao Li, and he had already regarded Shuangshuang as the number one in his heart.But seeing Gao Li like this, he couldn't bear it.He said: "You have to rest, otherwise how would you find it."

Gao Li clenched his fists and hissed, "I'm afraid something will happen to her."

Qiu Fengwu said: "I'll look for it with you."
