Jinwuzang charming boy

After living in Nianzhao County for half a month, Chen Xiaojiao finally couldn't resist going to that familiar street.

It was still early when he went there, the door of the pawn shop was still closed, and the place where the gambling house was originally located opposite was replaced by a shop selling some rouge jewelry.

There were not many people scattered on the street. Chen Xiaojiao had prepared a veiled hat early in the morning. She was not afraid of running into someone she knew, so she looked around, just in time for the pawn shop to set up the hat diagonally opposite. tea stand.

After a pause, he walked over and sat down under the inexplicably friendly gaze of the tea stall owner.

It's just that the boss's eyes were really eager, even through the veil, Chen Xiaojiao felt a bit cramped, so he had no choice but to clear his throat, and pretended to pick up the freshly boiled tea brought by the boss.

"...Are you here to visit your original pawn shop?"

The real person of the tea stall owner didn't show his face, and when he opened his mouth, Chen Xiaojiao was so scared that she almost sat on the ground.

Seeing Chen Xiaojiao froze there, the tea stall owner continued with a smile, "Boss Chen, don't be surprised, the old man has lived here for so many years, and he does business from south to north, and he has his own way of judging people—" — Besides, Boss Chen's bearing is rare, how much can such a hat cover?"

Chen Xiaojiao, who had taken off her vest, silently swallowed the tea that she almost coughed up in her mouth. After suppressing her shock, she raised her head and said softly, "...do you know when this casino was closed?"

The owner of the tea stand frowned and thought for a while, "The old man can't remember the exact date, but it should be just a few days after you left, Boss Chen."

"Then this pawn shop," Chen Xiaojiao turned her face to look at the shop with the sealed door, "is it still Qin Huanshui who is looking at it?"

"That's right, it's the young man who has been by your side, Boss Chen."

Chen Xiaojiao nodded, her eyes were still looking there.

Seeing this, the owner of the tea stall grinned, and then turned around to do his own work.

About half an hour later, there was finally movement in the place Chen Xiaojiao was looking at. The figure that she hadn't seen for a few months pushed open the door from the pawn shop, and walked out stretched. Dressed in the clothes Chen Xiaojiao personally arranged and selected, her figure was slender and overhanging.

After such a long time, there was finally something comforting, and the corners of Chen Xiaojiao's mouth could not help but curl up.

After watching the whole process of Qin Huanshui removing the window panels and opening the door, he reached out and took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from the brocade bag hanging on the jade belt around his waist, and put it on the table.

The owner of the tea stall who happened to be here waved his hands quickly when he saw it, "Boss Chen, why do you need money to drink tea here, let alone so much—"

Chen Xiaojiao lightly shook her head: "Your cup of tea is your heart, it's nothing compared to your heart,... It's just that I'm going out this time privately, if anyone comes to inquire, please cover it up for me."

"--It's no problem, no problem! Now that you've said that, the old man hasn't seen Boss Chen today--"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaojiao nodded to the owner of the tea stall, and remembered that she was wearing a black veil on her head, so she said, "...Thank you very much."

After speaking, Chen Xiaojiao got up and walked towards the pawn shop that had opened its doors.

When he walked in, Qin Huanshui was leaning there drowsy. When he saw someone coming in, he got up quickly, and looked at the black gauze hat on Chen Xiaojiao's head with some doubts and vigilance, and then hesitantly said— —

"Guest officer, are you...do you have anything to be?"

Chen Xiaojiao couldn't help being embarrassed... The owner of the tea stall knew my identity from a long distance away. You followed me for so long and co-authored it for nothing==?

Facing Qin Huanshui's defensive face, Chen Xiaojiao inexplicably felt a sense of melancholy that "the young one left home and the old one returned".

So Chen Xiaojiao reached out and lifted up the black veil, revealing her face.

Qin Huanshui was taken aback for a moment, but immediately exploded after reacting, almost jumping up and rushing over.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaojiao's face was still expressionless, but she was very happy in her heart... Seeing Qin Huanshui's enthusiasm, Chen Xiaojiao decided to reluctantly accept this bear hug.

So he sullenly waited for Qin Huanshui to rush over.

——Qin Huanshui did rush over, but his target was the store behind Chen Xiaojiao.

Almost the moment he realized Chen Xiaojiao's appearance, Qin Huanshui rushed over and slammed the store door shut.

After closing, he patted his chest with lingering fear on his face: "...Why are you back, boss?!"

The tone that couldn't be concealed had absolutely nothing to do with the surprise, Chen Xiaojiao's face sank after a frown.

Qin Huanshui, who had been on his own for a long time, also learned to watch his words at this time. When he saw the boss, he became more and more attractive—ah no, there was a bit of a bad mood on his pretty face. After thinking about it, he realized that he had made a mistake. .

It's just that he really can't care about it now——

"Boss, what's the conflict between you and Shenzidian—er, the emperor? A few days ago, Fang Shijun, the governor of the county, specially brought someone to 'focus' on the pawn shop, and asked me if you have been here too? "

Hearing this, Chen Xiaojiao was really taken aback. He never expected that Liu Che's actions would be so fast... Counting the time is only half a month, isn't the new emperor enthroned because he is so busy that he has no time to spare?How could he still have time—even reached out to Anzhou County?

"……boss?"

Seeing that Chen Xiaojiao suddenly lost her soul, Qin Huanshui couldn't help but asked worriedly, "——Are you okay?"

Chen Xiaojiao came back to her senses and shook her head: "...I'm fine....What did the envoy say?"

"—Ah?" Qin Huanshui never thought that his boss would ask such a question, and he frowned and thought for a long time, "...it seems that he didn't say anything clearly, but he could see that his face was very anxious. The patrolling guards passed by, and they had been secretly guarding the pawn shop and refused to leave; thanks to brother Lin Fang—”

The voice suddenly stopped here, and Qin Huanshui's face changed, "It's bad, I forgot about it—Boss, you should go to the inner courtyard to hide—Brother Lin Fang comes here at about this time every day—— Maybe he’s already on the way now, and if he sees him, he’s probably going to take you back!——Go in and hide!”

Chen Xiaojiao's complexion also changed when she heard this. He knew that Lin Fang seemed to have gathered some mysterious forces under Liu Che, but the details were not clear. After thinking about it for a few days, I carefully checked the spots along the way, but just forgot about the relationship between Qin Huanshui and Lin Fang.

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything more, and ran to the inner courtyard familiarly.

Sure enough, within a short time of incense sticks, Lin Fang graciously threw off a group of patrols and rushed straight into the pawn shop.

"Qin Huanshui——why did you close the door?——Why, you don't welcome me today?"

Qin Huanshui looked at the sunshine on his face, without changing his expression: "...I'm cold."

Lin Fang didn't mind either, and walked up to him with a smile, hugged him into his arms, and pressed his forehead against his forehead: "...If that's the case, how about I warm you up?"

Qin Huanshui's body froze, standing there as straight as a piece of wood, only murmured softly, slightly avoiding the man's too close breathing: "Zou Kai..."

"Grandpa doesn't—"

As soon as Lin Fang lowered his head, he took Qin Huanshui's lips into his mouth.

"..."

Qin Huanshui felt that he was about to explode.

And Chen Xiaojiao, who was hiding in the inner courtyard silently watching this scene, really wanted to stroke her forehead. In the past, he was the only one who could show others' faces, but today it was finally his turn to be shown - this uncontrollable sense of gap in her heart was really real. heartbreaking...

In the main hall of the pawn shop, Lin Fang only felt that the person in his arms was very strange. He neither refused to struggle nor responded obediently. A little suspicion flashed across his eyes, and finally he took a step back and let him go, "Qin Huanshui, Do you have something to hide from the master?" While speaking, he turned his eyes away, glanced around the shop, then landed on the door leading to the inner courtyard, paused for a long time before turning back, with a full face. Suspicious, "You don't hide a bad boy in the shop, do you?"

Chen Xiaojiao, who was lying on the gun again, couldn't care about anything else, she just huddled up and waited nervously.

——He remembered that he was called a little boy by this person the last time he came here, and this time it was... If it was a coincidence, would it be too coincidental?

"—You... what are you talking about?!"

In the main hall of the pawnshop, Qin Huanshui's face became very ugly: "...you can only say that about me—if you say you have a bad face—I think you are right? The new one transferred from your county office, Doesn't he have the potential of a little boy? I think he is still clinging to you!"

"Tsk, Qin Huanshui, are you jealous? ——It's so rare that you can feel jealous because of me——I feel like I'm in a much better mood!"

"—you'll be able to talk sweetly—to triumph!"

Qin Huanshui pushed the man away, with an angry face, "Don't let me see you—go out—I'm going to do business—you hurry up!"

"Tsk. The fire is so big?" Lin Fang didn't push Qin Huanshui, but walked out according to his strength, "I really have something to do today, and I don't have much time to coax you all morning, waiting for my master to finish his work." ——After the work is done, the master will definitely come back and settle the account with you..."

"...I'm not afraid of you..." Qin Huanshui pushed the person outside the door and closed it behind him. A few seconds later, he heard Lin Fang's footsteps going away.

Qin Huanshui waited patiently for nearly half a stick of incense, and then opened the door to see that there were only a few people on the street. Then he turned around and opened the door of the inner courtyard with confidence, and took Chen Xiaojiao out.

"...It should be fine."

After dealing with it, Qin Huanshui was covered in cold sweat, and when he thought about it, he became more and more frightened, "——or boss, you should take advantage of the fact that the patrol and brother Lin Fang have just passed by at this moment, and leave first; Change."

Chen Xiaojiao hesitated for a while, but still nodded: "...Okay. Then I'll leave first. If there's something else, I'll come to you again."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and put down the black gauze, covering his face, without stopping any longer, turned around and left the pawn shop.

Chen Xiaojiao walked all the way with her head down, shuttling back and forth in the narrow alleys, until a large bustling figure surrounded the ground in front of her, he stopped, raised her head, and her expression changed.

He is still familiar with the clothes of these people.

Chen Xiaojiao took a step back, turned around suddenly and was about to run back, but also stopped her pace suddenly.

Lin Fang looked at him with a complex expression, his eyes did not have the slightest trace of the laughing in the pawnshop before, as if he could see his face through his veil: "...Master Chen, I'm sorry."

Chen Xiaojiao said in surprise, "You can't—"

Before he could finish speaking, someone behind him cut his hand with a knife, interrupting what he was about to say.
