Tenderness like water

This town is really a small town, much smaller than the towns in the south.

However, the market was full of people, Yang Lan just entered the town, he was led forward by the flow of people, and there were noises coming from the front from time to time.

It took Yang Lan a lot of effort to squeeze out from the crowd, and found a place like a tea house to sit on the window seat on the second floor, "Second brother, why are there so many people in this town today?"

The little second brother on the side was cleaning the table with a rag in his hand. When he heard Yang Lan calling him, he immediately ran over with small steps, "My guest, what do you want?"

"A pot of tea." Yang Lan threw a small piece of scattered silver onto the table, and then took out a few copper coins and put them in the hands of the second brother, "By the way, I will serve you the best tea."

When the second brother nodded, Yang Lan turned to look at the crowd below. He passed by this town three times, and he had never seen so many people that time.

And the little second brother took the copper plate from Yang Lan, weighed it first, and then stuffed it into his arms, his eyes were half small with a smile, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll make tea for you go."

Seeing Yang Lan nodding his head, the little second brother drooped the dishcloth on his hands, and went to prepare tea and pastries for him.

Maybe it was because of the few copper coins, the younger brother moved very fast, just as Yang Lan watched the crowd outside the window, it took only half a cup of tea, and the tea and refreshments were delivered to the table.

"Guests, please take your time." The second brother took out the things from the tray and put them in front of Yang Lan, and waited for Yang Lan to drink the first sip of tea and had no other orders before going down.

The teahouse has always been a mixed bag, Yang Lan listened for a while with his ears open, and then he understood the whole story.

The day before yesterday was the town's market day. At noon that day, before the crowd had subsided, a group of people suddenly came from outside the town.They all rode tall horses, but the carriages were incomparably magnificent, and the clothes they wore were also gorgeous that no one in the town had ever seen.When the identities of these people were found out, everyone in the town was taken aback.

Five years ago, the daughter of a merchant in the town fell in love with a poor scholar. The rich merchant naturally disagreed, but the lady of the rich merchant eloped with the poor scholar directly with money.That wealthy businessman also loves his daughter very much. After searching for two years, he didn't find anyone and he didn't give up.

And this group of people is the daughter of the rich businessman who came back, and the poor scholar is the number one scholar of this year's new department, and the officials sent them back by beating gongs and drums!

The reason why the town is so lively today is that the rich businessman is going to hold a flowing water feast, and he can eat for a whole day just by saying a nice word. Not only the people in the town come, but even the nearby villages are all The whole village came.Now that the winter is free and the farm work is almost done, can there be fewer people?

After listening to the gossip, Yang Lan's tea was almost finished, so he asked the second elder brother to help him wrap up the tea, got up and left.

He still remembers that he came to the town not to listen to gossip, but to buy.When a wave of people passed by, Yang Lan took advantage of the gap and walked to the street selling things on the other side.

He picked out the best ones for basic necessities, food and clothing, and then gave the store a place to leave the delivery fee. He left alone. Of course, he went to the restaurant in the town before leaving. Packed two dishes.

Although Brother Dongfang ate the food Qi Feng sent last night and this morning, Yang Lan felt that he still didn't like it.After all, he is an injured patient. If conditions permit, Yang Lan still feels that she should treat him better.

I don't know how Yang Lan could tell from Dongfang Xu's expressionless face that he didn't like it.

Yang Lan hurried and hurried, and finally returned to the village when the sun was at its highest point and before lunch began. At this point, many people were already cooking, and the men working in the fields were also in twos and threes in the shade of the trees next to them. They rested and waited for someone to bring them food.

When he entered the room, Dongfang Xu was exercising his internal energy to adjust his breath while closing his eyes to rest his mind.There were also some steamed buns and a dish on the table next to it, which should have been sent by Qi Feng.

"Brother Dongfang, I'm back." Yang Lan pushed open the door and walked in. He happened to meet Dongfang Xu's eyes. He smiled and took out the packed pastry from his pocket. "The town is very lively today. I'm eating these The cakes are good, come and try them too."

It's sunny outside, and it's not too cold today. Yang Lan opened the window, and a beam of sunlight fell on the ground. The whole room was instantly brightened. Even the dust in the air was clearly visible in the warm orange light.

The pastry was carefully placed in Yang Lan's arms all the way, and when he took it out, there was still a little warmth, "This is the best tea in the teahouse, the taste is not bad, but the taste of the tea is not very good .”

What Yang Lan drinks on Ruowei Mountain is all tea grown by himself, and the water used to make tea is also mountain spring or snow water on the mountain, which is naturally not comparable to ordinary teahouses.It's tea, because the cooks on the mountain are not very good at cooking, so he eats less and can still eat it in his mouth.

Dongfang Xu reached out and picked up the middle piece of refreshment from the oil paper spread out by Yang Lan, put it on his mouth and took a bite, and the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus spread in his mouth.

Dongfang Xu is also a person who has lived a hard life. Naturally, he is not as picky about food as Yang Lan. The osmanthus cake tastes really good. He unconsciously squinted his eyes while eating.

Yang Lan was also very happy to see that Dongfang Xu was satisfied with his meal. He just ate one by one, and the small dish of refreshments was eaten up by Dongfang Xu in a short while.

"Water." Dongfang Xu put down his hand, looked at Yang Lan who was sitting aside and smirked, and spit out a word angrily.

When I eat this pastry, I don't feel it, but when I stop, I feel thirsty. This person is really, he eats it with tea, but let him eat it dry, which is not interesting.

Yang Lan got a blank stare in vain, so he poured water to serve the weak patient. He poured cold water into the cup. Thinking of Dongfang Xu's wounds and yesterday's cold body temperature, Huo Lingli swirled around in the cup and handed it to him. Before giving it to Dongfang Xu, he tested the temperature with the back of his hand.

Dongfang Xu didn't expect Yang Lan to be so careful here, and the slightly warm temperature in his hand when he took the cup really made him feel comfortable for a while.

"Where are the things you bought?" After eating comfortably, people are naturally lazy. Dongfang Xu leaned on the bed and didn't want to move. It took a while to think of the purpose of Yang Lan's going out today. He went shopping, but now he came back empty-handed... …For some reason, Dongfang Xu suddenly thought that this man could always take out a lot of things from his sleeves, but yesterday when he was hugged, he did touch his sleeves—it was empty, with nothing in it.

It was that day that he watched Yang Lan put in the medicine bottle and didn't even touch it.

Although he was puzzled, Dongfang Xu didn't ask directly. Maybe this is Yang Lan's secret?

"I left money for the store and asked them to send it directly to us when the time comes. I bought a lot of things, so it's not easy to carry." You can take a hundred times as many things with you, but you dare not take them because of the rules of Guanli.

"Yeah." Dongfang Xu ate, rested for a while and became sleepy again. He obeyed the sleepiness and closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

But Yang Lan used this time to go back to the cave, packed up everything, and brought back some Dongfang Xu's clothes for washing.

When Dongfang Xu woke up and saw that there were many things he was used to in the room, his expression changed, and he observed Yang Lan carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he eased his expression.

This made Yang Lan think that he had done something unforgivable, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of what he said or did wrong.

In winter, it gets dark early in the north, and the sun sets before dinner is over, and the carriages of the shops enter the village in the afterglow of the setting sun.

At this time, everyone in the village had already gone home to cook. Many people saw the carriage, but the old man Yang Lan met at the entrance of the village yesterday came out to say hello, and the people in the village stopped caring about this matter and went back. my home.

There were also a few people who were idle on weekdays and followed far behind, obviously not paying attention to the old man's words.

They saw someone when Yang Lan entered the village yesterday, and later when Yang Lan gave money to Qi Feng, he didn't avoid people, so they naturally saw him too.

"Brother Zhou, shall we go to Qifeng's old house?" The thinnest of the three shrank back, his eyes seemed to be calculating.

"Yesterday that person gave Qi Feng a handful of silver and copper plates, and he bought so many things today, he looks like a rich man." The leader was a tall and burly man with a few patches on his clothes, but he was still Clean, just like the other fat man next to him, he was all dirty.

These three people are the descendants of the surname Qi in the village. They are usually annoying by teasing cats and dogs. Everyone avoids them when they see them.No, Yang Lan gave too much money yesterday, so they were eyeing her.

However, these people have been able to live in the village for such a long time, and they obviously know how to restrain themselves. They spotted the carriage driving to the door of Qi Feng's old house, and then went back to their respective homes.

However, for some unknown reason, the three of them left the village with their bags on their backs at dawn the next day, and never came back again.
