Siberian wood bone

The peddler's face suddenly changed a little, and he said with a dry smile: "Master, don't find me happy... I can't afford credit for this small business."

I became more and more at a loss.

When he was anxious, a gentle voice came from the side: "Add another sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and forget this young man's and mine together. I don't want to credit your account. Is this feasible?"

Seeing that the business has settled down, the peddler heaved a sigh of relief, his expression eased, and he greeted the new customers familiarly with a smile: "That's naturally good, Mr. Ji will wait a moment!"

I turned my head to follow the sound——

I don't know when there was a man standing beside him, with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and a wide-sleeved long robe, which was quite elegant; seeing me looking at him, he also nodded in return, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you don't blame me for being abrupt, do you? The dim sum here is quite unique, and it will be sold out later, I also saw your Excellency thinking of myself a while ago, so I was eager."

...What is the explanation?

I couldn't hide my thoughts, so it came to my face, so this person didn't wait for me to ask, and he explained to me slowly: "Old Yu never gives credit to anyone. I was also in a hurry when I went out a few days ago, and I forgot to bring money. He So he said nothing and didn’t sell me anymore, and made me go for nothing that day.” His tone was rather helpless, but he didn’t seem annoyed, his eyes drifted away a little, as if he was reminiscing about his life that day. Dilemma.

This person... is really weird, he doesn't say anything annoyed, he seems to think that experience is quite interesting.

I was muttering his little words in my heart, and then I heard this man say again: "If you wait for your entourage to arrive later, I'm afraid it will be too late... Why don't you just treat the guests here, otherwise you will miss the delicious food because of such trivial things. Isn't it a pity?" He said, pointing to the back of the two of us, motioning for me to see—

There was already a long queue in front of the cold stall just now.

"..." I turned my head silently, looking down at the neatly wrapped sweet cakes in front of me.

Just now I was attracted by the somewhat familiar scent... Master has been out for a long time, I don't know if he will miss the smell of his hometown.

This man saw my hesitation, so he persuaded again: "If Your Excellency is really sorry, you can send someone to my residence later, and just pay back the money."

When I heard the words, I came back to my senses, hurriedly nodded, and then shook my head again.

When he moved, he just realized that the previous mask was still covering his face.

...Has this man looked at me like this and talked to me for so long?

So he quickly took it off again, and said eagerly: "If you want it, I will pay you back... I will go by myself."

It must be funny in the eyes of others that I am in such a hurry—the smile in this person’s eyes is deep, and he doesn’t hide it, “Then my home is in Jifu in the east of the city. The city is."

Jichuan City.

I then recited it silently in my heart. I planned to remember it better, but in the end I was stunned, "...Jichuan City?"

I couldn't hide my surprise. The man looked at me in confusion, but he still nodded and said, "Exactly."

"You are... Qingming's friend?" Is there really such a coincidence?

"Your Excellency recognizes me?" He was also a little surprised, the smile on his lips narrowed, and he began to think: "We haven't met——If I have seen Your Excellency, I must not forget it...Your Excellency is not Liancheng Renshi?"

I shook my head.

He looked at me again, and suddenly smiled, "Yes, after I took a closer look, you are indeed kind-hearted, and you only recognized me after hearing my name... Qingming just sent me a few days ago Believe me, I said that his elder brother might come to Liancheng, could it be Your Excellency?"

Before I said anything, he guessed it himself.I really couldn't catch up, so I had to agree with him at the end: "...Yes."

He laughed loudly, "It's really a coincidence."

I also had to nod my head, speechless.

... Originally, he thought that he would not bother others, but when he came, he would run into such an embarrassing time.

Ji Chuancheng took the oiled paper package from the stall owner, led me to the side, and gave me my share, "I don't know what to call brother Qingming?"

I took the things awkwardly, and replied in a low voice: "Qi Haitong."

"How old is Chang Qingming? I think we are about the same age...Maybe I call you Haitong?"

I nodded.

Fortunately, the lights here are dim, so that I don't expose my stiff appearance too much.

I looked down at the shadow under my feet, and hoped that the current situation would end sooner, but it was a pity that the sky did not come true——

"By the way, where is Haitong now? Let me know, so that I can be a landlord."

"exist……"

……I do not know.

I fell silent.

I was interrupted just now, and the panic in my heart faded a bit, but now that it is mentioned again, my face turns sour.

It was quiet for a while, I don't know how much Ji Chuancheng guessed, I just heard him say: "But which inn did you stay in? - Qingming also stayed in the inn when he was in Liancheng, and the Qi family didn't think it was here. Put it down in the house. I'll send people to the inns to ask, Haitong don't need to worry too much."

"...Thank you." Right now, that's all I can do... It's just that this favor is also owed.

I twisted my fingertips nervously at the end of the rope on the oiled paper bag.

"You're welcome." Ji Chuancheng responded, then turned around to recruit the followers behind him, and gave me instructions.

The entourage led away, but Ji Chuancheng frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said: "If I didn't remember the errands, then Qingming lived in the Liuke Residence, maybe Haitong also stayed there this time."

"I have already sent someone to inquire at the inn in the city, and I think there will be a response after a while... But it will take some time to go back and forth. If you can't wait, why don't you follow me to stay in the guest house to try your luck first, Haitong agreed. How about next?"

I do get anxious.I looked around again, and there was still no sign of Shizun and Ning Fei, so I no longer declined: "...there is Laochuan City."

Ji Chuancheng walked in the front, leading me through the streets and alleys of Liancheng, introducing me along the way.

When passing by the Jinghua Pavilion just now, the bustle has dissipated a lot.

I suddenly remembered the scene when the crowd was crowded before, and the temperature of Master's palm seemed to be still in the palm of my hand, which made my heart feel hot.

"I'll pass by the pharmacy in a while, please wait for me for a while, and I'll go grab the side medicine and send you back to the inn."

"...Okay," I came back to my senses, "Is anyone in your family sick?"

Mentioning this, Ji Chuancheng was quite depressed, "My sister is suffering from some strange disease, and the doctors in the city can't do anything about it, so I can only keep it like this first... It makes Haitong laugh."

Coming out of the pharmacy, I followed Ji Chuancheng, walked through several alleys, and then turned around a crossing, and my eyes suddenly opened up.

Ji Chuancheng turned around, smiled and pointed to the brightly lit street across the street, "This is it."

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Sang Jiuchang with a scorched smile on his face, hurrying towards me, and kept saying "just come back".

When he came to him, he looked at me carefully again, and then he let out a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Master Mu Gu, you are safe and sound."
