comeback [rebirth]

I didn't expect that this accidental hit would actually lead to some results.

"Our place is small, and there are not many people. We basically know each other." Big Brother said, "At that time, there were not many families named Cui in our place."

"Then the big brother has seen each other recently?"

Unexpectedly, before entering the county town, the wine was so close to the news of the fake Biling, so that Cen Yuan accidentally asked a little hurriedly, but the next moment he reacted, he quickly added another sentence: "It's such a rare coincidence, If Big Brother has seen it, then I can talk to my friend when I go back."

However, Big Brother immediately sighed: "The Cui family gave birth to two daughters. I don't know which one your friend is talking about, but at that time, the Cui family's parents happened to take the eldest daughter to the place where the plague first broke out, and they never appeared again. When we came back, a group of people from our town came out with our little daughter. It happened that we came to this fork at that time, and she went directly to Danlin County with the others. We didn’t go in the same direction as her. It’s not particularly clear what happened after that.”

Cen Yuan let out a small "ah".

"However, when I went to Danyang County and met a few fellow villagers, I did ask. I only knew that someone seemed to have seen her in a restaurant, but I don't know where exactly." Big Brother said, "Then There were quite a few people who came to Chu State at that time, and many of them were orphans like her who had no father or mother, and they were either picked up as slaves, or ah, they were taken in by restaurants or romantic places."

Brother Da Da paused, and said, "But no matter how you say it, it's still a place to live after all. You can say no."

Cen Yuan was noncommittal, but just asked: "Brother Big Brother, do you know the name of the youngest daughter of the Cui family?"

"It seems to be..." The time was too long, Big Brother lowered his head and thought about it for a while, and then suddenly clapped his hands, "It's called Cui Yu'er!"

Although it is just a name and a general direction, it is still like finding a needle in a haystack if you really want to search, but it is already an unexpected harvest for Cen Yuan and the others.

"Thank you, Brother Yue." Cen Yuan said, "When I return to Chang'an, I will be able to talk to that friend."

"Hey, what are you thankful for?" Seeing that Cen Yuan's wine jug was empty, Big Brother shouted for another jar of wine and filled the bowls of several people: "Drink!"

Cen Yuan happily clinked glasses with the other party, chatted casually, and then asked: "Boldly ask Big Brother, since you didn't go to Danlin County, where did you go?"

Big Brother pointed behind him casually: "Go out here, go northwest, a place called Qingjiang County."

Cen Yuan was startled for a moment.

Perhaps it was because of the conversation just now, coupled with the feeling of drinking, that the older brother had the idea of ​​recalling the past.

He didn't even eat food, he just drank and said: "It was also lucky to go to Qingjiang County at that time. The wharf was just built there, water transportation started to start, and there was a shortage of people everywhere, so my brother and I were lucky to be faster than others. I have to find a stable job so that I can survive until today."

"pier?"

Cen Yuan just drank a few bowls of wine a little too hard, and now he just picked up his energy, his mind was a little dizzy, so he ate several mouthfuls of vegetables.However, upon hearing this sentence, he put down his chopsticks again.

"Yes." Big Brother said, "At that time, there were few people who dared to run to the sea. After all, the water in that place was not like this round river, and it was impossible to see the bottom. There are often rumors that there will be people who go out to the sea." A man-eating monster, even if it is a big ship, may never come back if it goes out."

Brother Da sneered: "But at that time, we couldn't manage these things. If we had something to do and money to get, we could do anything as long as it wasn't murder and arson, so we went to the pier to move goods. Anyway, what we two brothers can use is just This whole body has hoeed muscles."

Cen Yuan also laughed along with him, and asked again: "You guys have been doing this all the time?"

"Yes."

Cen Yuan's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "Then what has changed recently?"

Maybe it was because he didn't stop the momentum when he asked, and seemed too impatient, Yan Xuan quietly pressed his wrist with one hand.

But Big Brother didn't notice their little move.He seemed to be taken aback by the question: "Change?"

Cen Yuan was suddenly reminded, and quickly patted Yan Xuan's hand to indicate that he was fine, and then said to Big Brother: "It started about two or three months ago, it is obviously different from before."

"This..." Big Brother was stunned for a moment, he didn't know if he had drunk too much, his brain turned slowly, but the other younger brother quickly said: "The frequency of accidents on ships has become higher."

After being reminded like this, Big Brother quickly came to his senses: "Yes!"

Seeing Cen Yuan's questioning eyes, Brother Yue said: "We also heard this from others, saying that the frequency of ship accidents in the past two months has increased, and at least they were trapped at sea for several hours. More importantly... oh."

Having said that, Big Brother couldn't bear to continue, he could only sigh.

But his sigh was enough to fill up what he hadn't finished, so Cen Yuan didn't ask further, just said: "Then don't you think it's strange?"

"Ham, what's so strange about this, the wind and rain have no eyes, there is no law at all, it can only be said that time is fate, it just so happens that this year is not good."

The older brother talked more and more melancholy, and poured down a bowl of wine.

Being dragged by him, Cen Yuan clinked his glass silently.

"But there is one more thing that is strange!"

Suddenly, Big Brother seemed to think of something again, and he stood up: "We are usually in charge of the grain and grass boats running north, and we are familiar with the amount of grain and grass that can be loaded on each boat as much as the rice at home, but some time ago , It seems that once or twice a month, I feel that the amount of grain and grass carried on the ship has decreased."

Another younger brother Yue looked at him: "Is there such a thing?"

"You don't think so?"

Brother Yue shook his head.

"That's my illusion."

Brother Da had no intention of continuing after he finished speaking, but there may be no reason for it, Cen Yuan said: "Brother Da, can you talk about it in detail?"

"Food and grass?" Big Brother turned his gaze back and explained to Cen Yuan, "Actually, that's what I just said, and there's nothing else to say in detail. After all, people at the pier are always in a tight spot. , Delayed the time to leave the ship, at least wages were deducted, and at worst, corporal punishment was lost. I saw that time was suddenly abundant at that time, and I was too happy to be happy."

After all, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere of this topic was really heavy, so he took the wine bowl and touched Cen Yuan's wine bowl: "Brother Yuan, don't talk about this, drink!"

Hearing this, Cen Yuan smiled at Big Brother, picked up the wine bowl and touched the other's: "Come on, I won't return tonight if I don't get drunk!"

Brother Big then raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl. Cen Yuan took a sip, turned his head and glanced at Yan Xuan nonchalantly. The latter stroked the edge of the wine bowl with his fingers and gave him the same knowing look.

It seemed that the meal was really worth it.

·

At the end of this dinner, it almost became Big Brother and Cen Yuan fighting over wine.Although Cen Yuan doesn't seem to be able to drink very much, he is good at drinking, and even Yan Xuan has never seen him drunk and crazy.But even though the eldest brother claimed to be drunk after a thousand cups, he was extremely excited, and he started sweeping the inn in a short time, pulling people around and punching him.

He didn't look like he could still go on his way, so Cen Yuan waved his hand and asked the inn to open a guest room for each of the Yue brothers, completely forgetting that the money came from Yan Xuan's pocket.

After he was dragged back to their upper room by Yan Xuan and came out of the shower shaking his head, his footsteps were still a little rough.

Yan Xuan didn't take a shower until Cen Yuan came out, because he was worried about what might happen to him outside, so he just took a quick shower and finished.As a result, when he came out, he saw Cen Yuan lying on the bed with his limbs stretched out, quietly.

After waiting for a while, Cen Yuan seemed to hear the voice, turned his head and called out: "Yan Xuan."

His entire voice was a little hoarse from drinking too much wine, and when he uttered this sound, he jumped up and down several tunes, so that the ending sound seemed to have a hook for no reason, and Yan Xuan was hooked in just one click. past.
